[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madvane20:
ok so i figured out how my old phone is bricked and i dont understand how files in system partition got modified. wierd part is its always been read only. i managed to get the ota file from new phone and it got to the part to verify system partition then it failed saying something like found files shouldnt be there gonna upload the ota maybe it can help someone else who is bricked that didnt get bricked the same way. however ever i got bricked. anyone who wants the ota its attached. thats cool bout u living in nc btw lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
The modified file was when you updated the su file with supersu
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madvane20:
remember i said i was gonna try but it never changed anything the files on phone are only from king root

hopefully the ota will fix others who are bricked that didnt modify system. also system was ready only so i dont know how i would of been able to modify system when read only

anyway for you to make root an update zip or somethin for some reason when i try to perm root it gets all screwey
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madvane20:
no being i dont have the keys they use to sign the zips i would have to pull the info by reverse engineering and well that is more work than i wanna try atm. cause with bootloader locked we cant install zips from reg recovery anyways we would need twrp or cwm but the phone unlocked to boot unsigned code. or the keys they used to sign them and i way to sign the zips with the key and it work lol. but the better option is to get fastboot unlocked but again reverse engineering alot of work for cheap phone and something i wont get anything out of for my time. root well thats all i wanted mines rooted i released it for others to root. other than that if the guide doesnt work or the batch file which does the guide after temp root. then some wont be able to root im guessing after i get a new phone back from zte i will update it all the way and attempt root

where is the su file that needs to be moved?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
At /sbin

---------- Post added at 03:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

https://ibb.co/eSisrQ
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
Sbin is actually a system folder for the system that's what the s represents. Root might be removed when reboot because the system doesn't want to allow anything else in that specific folder other than the files that it came with. /bin and /xbin might be better options but kingroot installs it on /sbin. That's why I think it needs to be moved to /xbin or /bin. Try /xbin first once temp root

I have now tried atleast 4 different versions of kingroot and now none of them will root my device like before. I tried each version multiple times and it just keeps giving me a root failed message after attempting. Including the version (4.9) that was rooting my phone a couple of days ago
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
If you root too many times it will start giving you the error a few days later. You have to clear the cache in recovery then try it again. When I start getting that error I go to recovery and clear the cache then it works again.

I recommend using ES File Explorer, if not use Root Browser then change some file/folder permissions to see if it works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:

Change the folder or file permissions with root browser if ES doesn't work. I'll look for ways to push su into /xbin or /bin

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 AM ----------

If Root Browser changing permissions doesn't work use the Terminal Emulator app and type

su

Then

# mount -o rw,remount /system

It will mount /system as read-write

You can unlock bootloader in developer settings I think. Never mind is to allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:
The option to allow oem unlocking is available in all devices but even if this option is ticked it doesn't mean your bootloader is automatically unlocked. I tried unlocking it with fast boot via adb but it would not reboot into bootloader it just rebooted my phone normally.

Has anyone got tarp for this phone? I can get temp root until my phone restarted but I need tarp to install before it restarts
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:
We can temp root but its rebooting for all of us. We need to unlock the bootloader to maintain root. I had this issue with my LG Tribute HD and that phone still remains unrootable. Hopefully someone who is much more root savvy can help us :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
Did you type fastboot oem unlock? I think that's the command, also did you enable the setting on developer settings
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:
Yes I enabled oem unlock in dev options, the problem is i can not boot the phone into bootloader mode to run the fastboot oem unlock command through adb. I opened adb and ran the command "adb reboot bootloader" and it just reboots my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
You need to do VolumeUp+VolumeDown+Power to boot into bootloader
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:
the adb command should have worked too. i'll give it a try in a bit :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealWelder:
Kingroot will install binary to /sbin (which is in the kernel) but, the problem seems to be with both dm-verity (which won't allow you to write to the system partition) and locked bootloader. I've dumped the stock recovery and attempted to flash a custom one, but because the signature doesn't match it will black screen until you power off. Then when it reboots it also flashes stock recovery back on overwriting the recovery I flashed.

We need to disable dm-verity to get full root and we need to unlock the bootloader to have any hope of recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
I just realized there is an option to reboot to bootloader in recovery but it takes me back to the homescreen like normal power up.. But I think that the bootloader is Volume up+Down+Power

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

Yeah you can just do adb disable-verity then adb oem unlock
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:
So, when i try to get into bootloader with vol up, down, and power buttons it boots with a black screen, and the blue home button stays lit. if you hold these buttons down long enough the home button blinks once and stays lit after, still black screen and have to reboot with a battery pull. I entered recovery and tried to load bootloader from there and it just restarts my phone. so the question is why can't we access the bootloader via adb, physical buttons, and or/ stock recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
Do you think the black screen was actually the bootloader xD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:

Su after temp root

I got temp root and tried installation of Su update it did nothing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycosmicmind:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gio1217:
I actually tried iroot but it never worked, it failed like a few seconds later. I have tried most of the root apps already and none of them work like kingroot.

"If you have rooted your device with Kingo and then lost it after reboot (also called "temporary root"), it is also caused by locked bootloader. Locked bootloader will prevent your device from being permanently rooted"

This is some information I found online

Also have you tried doing "fastboot oem unlock" when the phone is at the homescreen since it doesn't seem to have a bootloader

It does have a bootloader for some reason we cant access it, and i've tried the adb unlock codes and they dont work. the only thing close to download mode we have is factory test mode. i'm lost, we need a senoir dev in on this!
