I used the ZTE DFU multidl to get in EDL mode, i was running W10. No root needed. I used Miflash, you need the firehose file, the link is on page 9 of this thread. I advice you to flash only the boot file for you version so you won´t lock your device as my case. the files you´ll nedd are on page 11.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Sloogle_Flugelmann:
Yes, that is the only problem I ran into, is that now the phone is network locked regardless of what SIM you put in (even an ATT sim). I used ZTE DFU_MultiDL_A2017X_Tool to put it in EDL while in DFU mode. The second the MultiDL tool opens you need to close it quickly and flash with either ZPST, Miflash, or QFIL. If you wait too long it won't flash. But again, even after successfully flashing, it will boot and everything, but if you put a SIM card in it, it won't work. I haven't been able to find any other firmware that works properly for this phone. Is it rooted? If you swap out the boot file in the firmware folder with one of the Magisk modded ones, then yes it will be rooted. Also, I have Windows 10. The Miflash version I am using is 2017.4.25.0

[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Alijosekt:
1. should flash boot.img mod of your firmware version (MOD verity deactivated and root)

2. if the boot is blocked they should only flash the boot.img stock

3. Do not flash full firmware so you do not corrupt the imei

all the necessary files are in my MEGA folder https://mega.nz/#F!VpYUjCTT!1cK3mFw6QgejDnLi1-zDzw
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] amart79196:
I have tried but each and every loader fails to flash the files and errors out. the ZPST program for example will show the COM5 but just next to it says it an unsupported device.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say "if the boot is blocked". What does that mean and how does one go about finding out if that is the current state?

I think myself as well as others have tried to just flash the boot.img file using these files and still corrupted the imei….but that is just an assumption on my behalf and it needs to be proved one way or another.

Thank you for putting everything in one location! Although I have redownloaded everything and it is not working here, maybe others will find some success.

I do have a question regarding the AT&T ZPST program. How do you tell the program to use the firehose file or is the file that you have uploaded already baked into the program itself?

I would LOVE to know exactly what the difference is between why you are able to flash the phone without errors and why I can't.

Can you do a youtube video as a step-by-step for this? Maybe the disconnect that we are all experiencing can be figured out by watching it done and catching the issue that we are all experiencing. I think this would help tremendously.

BTW - Still waiting for the UAT Main 19.0.1 program to get fully activated. My order status still says that it is processing.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] amart79196:
Merry Christmas everyone!

So, I finally got the UAT Main Tool activated. Here is the scoop on it:

1. The tool itself is very good as it does allow for EASY flashing. You can easily put your phone into EDL mode from ADB, then flash the boot.img file without playing with opening and closing multiple programs and hoping it works and screwing up the imei on it.

2. I wanted to be adventurous and managed to screw with different options in the Tool and screwed my phone up where now it is "Network Locked". I also was able to verify that my phones IMEI is wiped out. I may or may not be able to restore this back at this point and will report back further as I go along.

Far and away, the UAT is much better than the others as I have a very good feeling if I didn't try out the other programs that have been posted in this thread before, I would have a rooted phone in my hand that is actually working, but, I did and I probably have a paper weight....but, more testing and tinkering is needed. Im not affiliated with them and do not want to endorse it just yet, but, initial feelings on it is that is it a superior product to anything that I have tested and played with so far. The down side is that it is VERY powerful and should come with may more warnings in my estimation, but I guess this tool is really for pro's with knowledge and not a person like me who is just tinkering and playing around. It is a bit too powerful I feel for the untrained person....but that can be overcome with possible user interface warnings or maybe a handbook or manual.

Either way, its Christmas, so not much time to play with this until a day from now. Happy Holidays everyone!
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] amart79196:
Hey Everyone,

So here is the latest on everything. I found that if I pulled the sim card out and rebooted I was able to get into android at that point. I wanted to play around and download root checker and try to get supersu installed. I was able to successfully get root checker installed, although at first it said that root was properly installed, or something very similar to that nature. Than I installed supersu v2.79. It installed and then when I checked root it said it was rooted properly. The supersu also was complaining that I needed to update the binaries, so I attempted to do this. While doing this it showed me a bunch of things on the screen in text that it was updating and patching files. It then asked me to reboot. Well, that was the end of it booting again. Now it will just show the splash screen that says ZTE powered by android, then, blank black screen. No FTM mode either. If I could get into FTM, then I can use UAT to get it into EDL, but I cant get into FTM. I can however get into Android recovery where I can wipe factory reset, cache, and possibly apply update from ADB. The apply update from SD says I cant apply update but that might be due to no card inserted.

So, im lost as I can't tinker any longer! Anyone out there with any advice...its greatly appreciated!
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] Alijosekt:
you must place the device in EDL using the test point mode

Merry Christmas to you too amart79196.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] amart79196:
Well, I have some bad news to report....

I tried to use the test point but I can not see the point and solder at the same time due to my sight that is getting worse and worse each and every day. I struggled to be able to see and gave it a good shot, but at the cost of just buying a new phone, its worth me getting another one from Walmart and attempting root once again with that. This time around, I don't think i'll be getting another ZTE and probably stick with a more main stream Samsung device, but only time will tell.

That being said, I want to thank everyone who chimed in on my questions and concerns. I want to tell everyone that I did in fact see root on this phone, but, supersu hard bricked it so I am not too sure if I did something in error, or not, but, I would say that those of you who have had success, please post more details for everyone to see regarding what needs to be installed for super user and full root. Good luck everyone! If I happen to get another ZTE, i'll be sure to post! Happy New year!

I have tried using MiFlash with prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn but I keep getting "No Programming File Found" error...any ideas?

I get QDLoader 9800 COM 6 to show up, but I even tried UAT and get an error saying "Failed to start programmer".

UPDATE: I was able to get it working using QFIL but I had to use a specific version (1.0.0.2) to be exact...
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] itzmcgin:
amart, you say you were able to get into recovery mode and see wipe data, cache - etc. Did you check if fastboot mode was enabled at this time? I could only ever get into FTM mode. Also, even though I have the modified boot.img with Magisk 17.0 on it, I can't really use "root" for anything (like deleting system apps)...you mention you were able to install superSU, so did you do this through recovery mode?

This forum is so scattered with information that it took me hours on end to get where I am with my ZTE. Most information either seems outdated or not detailed enough to realize what to do. If people want, I can post my step by step instructions on how I got to successfully unbrick my device, how i installed the modified boot.img without erasing my MEI, etc.

UPDATE: I didn't realize holding the volume up button wouldn't take me into recovery mode, but repeatedly pressing it did. I couldn't do anything in there though, booting to bootloader does not work. However, I have a folder and steps on exactly how to get things running with V2.0.0B10 without issues. I was able to use debloater through Magisk Manager (I updated to 18.0 btw without issues) to remove system apps. So far so good, although not a fully rooted option yet I will be linking my folder here on the forums.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] amart79196:
That is a VERY interesting point regarding the specific version. I was NEVER able to get QFIL to work at all but I only ever used the versions posted in this thread. As for UAT, I only used the latest 19.0.1 and that version seems to have worked very well without much screwing around. I hate that it is $50 and I would love to see a free flashing loader actually work. Even though I do not have this phone anymore, I am happy that you came forward to report that there is a specific version of the QFIL that is working. Could you also explain how you got this to work? Did you put the phone into EDL mode? If so, how?

I do not remember if there was words on the screen that referenced fastboot. If I was able to get into FTM mode, I would have been able to flash the phone again because once I was in FTM because I was able via the UAT tool to get the phone from FTM to EDL. AT the end, my phone was able to get into recovery only, and once inside there, when I searched for ADB DEvices in a shell, the computer would list the phone and have it listed as "ADB sideload". I'm not sure if that is different than regular ADB, but I couldn't get it to go into EDL from there using the UAT tool which specifically has been able to get me from ADB mode to EDL without ever an issue before.

Does anyone know if ADB Sideload is different than ADB mode?

Yes, scattered to say the least! That is why I multi-quote and try to keep the conversation get focused and to the point. Posting the step-by-step, even a video on YouTube as well to go with it would be VERY beneficial to everyone here involved in trying to root this device! Please Do this! I'm thinking of picking up another one of these phones again....depending on the price to continue on tinkering.

If you can also document all of these steps in which you did to get to where you are at, please do. I got my fully rooted according to root checker, but, somehow the supersu software made some edits to files on the phone that bricked it. due to my vision, I wasn't able to solder and fix it. I'll be going to the doctor to look at my eyes and figure out if some glasses are needed since I cant do what I was able to do only a year ago...getting older sucks!

This is not a full true root though, you can't do certain things like delete system apps.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

I never had to do the touch point or whatever soldering mentioned, so that can be ignored in my opinion. I am sure it helps make it easier, but it is not required. When you do the flash you switch between the programs within a few seconds so that the device is still recognized. Also this device was not mine, someone requested to have it rooted because of the limited space. I did my best and ended up removing apps using the the terminal debloat tool. I actually no longer have the device but I do have the tools and software needed. I will still post the files and maybe a step by step (I feel like I can't do a video now because I can't show the entire process without the device). Hopefully this points everyone in the right direction, instead of all the scattered information on this forum.

Does anyone have the modified boot file for firmware B14? I'm looking to get root. Also has anybody ported TWRP?
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] rickastillo:
The modified boot file method doesn't give you full root, and no recoveries ported, and i don't think it Will be ported, not enough interest in this device , sadly.
[ZTE Maven 3  Questions & Answers] ativi:
Good day to everyone in this forum, I got this device couple of days ago with no network issue already mentioned in this forum. I wanted to use the root method here to root it , then get a software to write a new IMEI to get the network working. I took my time to read the entire forum for a week now trying to figure out the process involved in rooting this device.

I ended up more confused, as there's no step by step guide to install the driver to rooting. Everything seems scattered

My question here is; is it possible to get a well documented way step by step guide to install driver, flash modified boot.img, flash firmware and root?.

I am a novice, and I hope the senior developers here will be of a much help to those of us here who wants to read and learn there is to know about the ZTE MAVERN 3.

Perhaps, the OP here can help us out.

All should forgive me if I sound offensive.

Thank you.

You can install titanium backup, twrp is not possible at this point, no one has done it yet, you can delete system apps through adb, using

. But i haven't figured out yet how to get rw permission on system/apps so i can delete system apk's.

hello! my android 7 device may be called a smartphone but it is incredibly dumb when it comes to interpreting the input that comes to it from the screen when I touch it! I am just wondering if there are any apps or developer projects that seek to address this? no doubt it may be partly a hardware issue, maybe some devices have better sensitivity or let you tweak more settings than just the mysterious 'pointer speed'? but beyond this, are there any attempts to augment whatever module translates physical screen data into logical clicks, drags and so on? for instance, through active or passive training to distinguish drags from clicks, or by examining the screen pixels near where I click so a click in the vicinity of a text label is considered as an attempt to press the label, rather than assuming that I am pressing on an empty area of the background for no apparent reason? thanks in advance for any ideas! — Joseph

About 2-3 years ago I used to be really into installing custom roms on this phone and what not.

Anyway ever since I've had this phone I've messed up the motherboard twice and had ended up

buying a replacement twice.

Model #: SPH-L710

Android Version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: L710VPUDOH1

Kernel version: 3.4.0-2851177

Ok here are my two questions.

1. I tried to update the PRL, Profile and Firmware while connected to my home wi-fi unsuccessfully INTERNAL ERROR 407.

Do I need to be on a data plan for this to work??

2. Would restoring the phone to stock do anything? I see many stock images for this phone but baseband version ending

in ND8. Would the ND8 image work on this device?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
What carrier were you on when you had service? Nd8 is for sprint. Yes it will work for that model. However nj2 is a little newer. Just don't try anything older than nd8, that is before Knox and will brick.

For example, do not flash anything from mk5.

Nd8 is fine (sprint)

Nj2 is fine (sprint)

Nj3 is fine (virgin/boost)

Ndc is fine (virgin/boost)

Oh1, is weird, some are for the triband. If you flash OH1, just make sure you don't see SPH L710T in the name anywhere. That "T" at the end means triband.
