[MENTION=8803014]xxMoon[/MENTION] Still have that syntax error even though I extracted it

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 PM ----------

I self troubleshoot the problem. I figure out that when you let the edl mode run for too long it locks itself or something like that. The easiest way to root this phone is by the tool thankfully to [MENTION=8803014]xxMoon[/MENTION] made. First go to the first page and download the patch boot and recovery. Second, place the patch files to this path for me is C:\ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\flash\ the boot where boot is and recovery where recovery is. Finally, run the bat file in C:\ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl as administrator and press y for yes then 1 for flash then 2 and/3 for flashing boot and recovery and be patient. After you flash the boot boot and recovery power on your phone while holding the Vol + key and when the logo appears release the power but hold still the the Vol + and swipe to modify the system and then wipe the data (by wiping it prevent your old data from getting hacked or stuff like that) after reboot the system and you done. Big thank to [MENTION=8803014]xxMoon[/MENTION] and everybody that help make this rooting possible. See you guys I have a lot of stuff to do now.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Successfully rooted, trying to force change the system fonts for ios emojis but the blade is strict in replacing the noticolor file smh, im just going to wait for cyanogenmod to release on this phone, thanks for all the support everyone, I never thought this phone would get rooted. Also sucks thats we cant download modules on magisk because it requires us to update it, and unfortunately we cant do that. Any other way i can download modules?
[Blade General] xxMoon:
ATM, any changes you wish to make to /system have to be done manually through twrp recovery.

adb shell

setenforce 0

exit

adb push file.file \

You should be able to install modules.
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
Hmm, not for me. I had to manually do it.
[Blade General] Unssin:
Lol I seemed to delete the OS but I dont know how but im going to push the system.img through adb and flash it through recovery and hope it works.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
I get the error installation failed and then it says please install magisk 17.0+

Curious to know, why cant we update magisk , will it mess up our phone?
[Blade General] Unssin:
when i directly installed magisk and then reboot my phone this is when my phone could boot back.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
have u tried installing modules yet, I still do not know why it wont let me.
[Blade General] Unssin:
what you mean by modules?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Assuming your phone is rooted, you are able to download modules inside of magisk and it will flash the zip files for you automatically(The same thing as xposedmodule), for me it does not work because It says to update magisk, thats why I wanted to know if anyone else could download modules
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
The boot.img file I supplied has the latest version of magisk
[Blade General] evtoofly:
should I reflash the whole thing then?
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
You just need to flash the boot.img
[Blade General] evtoofly:
I tried flashing yours,but magisk did not pop up on my phone
[Blade General] xxMoon:
The edl tool has the patched boot and recovery ready to go. It also has a folder named stock which contains stock images.

We should move discussion over to this thread.

(ROOT) ZTE Blade Z Max Z982 Free !!Non-UAT!! 2/21/19
[Blade General] Unssin:
When I go Magisk Manager after flashing patch boot it say to update to 18.1 and the is three option I chosed the direct install and after it finish I booted my phone and then my phone when boot to system. Do you know a solution?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
U wasnt supposed to update magisk, only the manager. You probably have to reflash the boot from recovery mode
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
The original patched boot.img uses an outdated version of magisk which is why I advised them to use the one I created since a lot of people don't know how to do it by themselves (I don't know if you used a updated version in the tool)
[Blade General] Unssin:
Everytime I reboot to recovery it ask me if I want to Modify the system Everytime even though I check the box. And it also don't read my internal storage, when I formate my data it become readable but I need to reboot the system and setup wizard so I can download and flash zip file but when I go back it says to Modify the system again and the internal storage isnt readable in till I formate the data again. Can anybody help me with the issue?
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
It's because it's getting encrypted when you boot into system, just use a SD card, they're pretty cheap nowadays
[Blade General] Unssin:
I just update my magisk to the latest version without no problems straight from the phone (No computer needed)
[Blade General] Dreadth1:
I followed this but installed magisk directly and now getting the boot loop. Also, somehow managed to erase the OS in recovery mode. Do you know of any method to get my phone working again?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Non to worry about. First, you will need to go to your computer need download the firmware | MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS IN TWRP AND YOU ARE IN THE INSTALL MENU | then open cmd in the firmware where system.img is at and type the following command : adb push system.img /sdcard [Enter] and yes it will take a a lot of tine, wait till it finish you will know that by cmd will show you how much bytes transfer. After that go to your phone and press install img and you will see the system.img now press on it and install it as system image in the option. Now reboot system it will say no os found but don't worry. If your phone go to metropcs boot then wait about one minute if your phone doesn't go to boot and stuck in ZTE boot then you will need to reboot to edl mode and use the ZTE Blade Z Max Edl tool to flash the patched boot.img.
[Blade General] Dreadth1:
So the firmware .img is already on the phone? Or do i have to download it on the internet? Thanks for the reply.
[Blade General] Unssin:
I mean if it's in a sdcard and TWRP can read the system.img inside of the sdcard then you good to go but otherwise you will need to adb push the system.img
[Blade General] Dreadth1:
I will try that and see if it works for me.
[Blade General] Unssin:
Ok

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

It's worked?
[Blade General] Dreadth1:
I havent tried it...currently at work atm.

I tried your method [MENTION=9703571]Chickenaa[/MENTION] and still doesn't work. It stays on zte logo. Any other method that might help?
[Blade General] Unssin:
When you reboot system from TWRP does it still says OS Not found?
[Blade General] Dreadth1:
Yes,it still says OS not found
[Blade General] Unssin:
Hmmm.... I think you didn't do the method correctly because once I had that problem but I fixed it on my own by that method.

[Blade General] Dreadth1:
I had the boot.img on my sd card already. I booted into edl mode and tried to flash from there and still nothing. I did data wipe and nothing.
[Blade General] Unssin:
You wont be able to boot without a OS telling the phone what to boot.
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Hey if u downloaded the os Deadman posted... Extract it and place the boot and recovery in the flash folders that the you place the root ones.. And flash them using the tool. It will bring your phone back to normal.

---------- Post added at 03:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

Then place the patched boot img and recovery in after and reflash it will reinstall twrp.

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

And your os will be back

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

I had deleted my os also on accident and fixed it by reflashing the boot and recovery from the posted firmware

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

Also u can sideload the entire update. Zip if that doesn't work

---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

Also by chance anyone know how to carrier unlock a ZTE z970?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
I messed up bad. Somehow I removed the system os on accident so I flashed the stock files to fix it. However, that didnt fix the issue and now im stuck without twrp. in the recovery mode, I try booting it into bootloader but it just takes me to the zte screen and stays there. Is there anything I can do at this point? I tried doing the adb sideload, but it keeps giving me an error.
[Blade General] Unssin:
Not a problem just hit me in discord and I will fix the problem for u

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 AM ----------

In Chickenaa#4942
[Blade General] evtoofly:
well I could fix this if I had access to twrp but I dont. Can you just summarize what I need to do
[Blade General] Unssin:
When you turn on your phone how does it react?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Its stuck on the Zte Logo. If I plug in my usb and try booting it into recovery mode, I hear the noise that my phone is connected to my pc, but my phone shows a black screen. Therefore I have to boot to recovery without the usb plugged in and then plug it in once Im in the recovery menu. I cant reboot to bootloader without being stuck at the logo again,, and I thought that by going to adb sideload, I could use adb to reboot the edl, but that worked to no avail. When I tried sideloading, it gives me errors as well, which takes me back to the main recovery menu. If somehow I could just get my pc to show my phone on my pc, I could easily trasnfer the update and then use my recovery menu to apply update from sdcard, however my phone refuses to show up on my pc so I do not know what to do
[Blade General] Unssin:
Actually when you connect to the USB is a good thing because your phone put it self into a a mode called DFU mode which I don't know if it stand for Device Firmware Update or something else. I will pull info about what to do just give me some minutes.

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

Instructions :

1. Go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jC_M1I5QhCLZE-uMPAkaueyRi7e9m-sq and download this tool.

2. Plug in the USB and turn on your phone

3. Open the tool and watch this video on how to put your phone to Edl mode with the tool https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yvrb0nP7fEfTRAN3pQxuJAXHbvVZ8OdL/view?usp=sharing

4. You will be good to flash the TWRP recovery

5. Then you will need to system.img for the OS to install if you know how to do it then go ahead and do it if you don't reply back
[Blade General] evtoofly:
ill download it right now, and yeah I will need assistance with the system img.
[Blade General] evtoofly:
For some reason, my phone keeps putting me in recovery mode now whenever I have my usb plugged in. Its not taking me to DFU Mode like I want it to smh
[Blade General] Unssin:
Hmmm.... Try this, first turn off your phone if you can turn it off plug in your USB when booting press all Vol +,- and power when it turn on release power and keep holding both volume, it should put you in dfu
[Blade General] evtoofly:
okay that worked, im flashing boot and recovery right now. What should I do once im back in twrp?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Download this firmware and extract it https://drive.google.com/open?id=1c9s-n8-_4jjJ1B0ppjH84ev14T5qJdJr
[Blade General] evtoofly:
I pushed the system img to my sdcard but I am still getting stuck at the zte logo. What now?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Did you flash it the system.img aND boot.img?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Oh I forgot to flash the system, doing that right now. Also I have a update zip from titanium backup , which is what got me here in the first place, so how I can flash that to get alll of my apps and data back

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 AM ----------

It is now on the metropcs part which is good because thats progress. Waiting to see if it will be stuck or not
[Blade General] Unssin:
Ok

---------- Post added at 03:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------

Did it worked?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
rebooting into twrp right now to see, kinda hard because my power button can never function
[Blade General] Unssin:
If it's stuck on the MetroPCS logo just go to TWRP and format data
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Okay everything is running again. Thanks for all the help!!!, but question, do you know how I can flash this zip file without going through all this unncessary trouble again. This zip file is a backup of all my data .
[Blade General] Unssin:
Did your phone worked now?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
yes it did, I appreciate all the help. Just wish there was a way to get all my data back, as well as fix my power button that is difficult to make respond
[Blade General] Unssin:
I honestly don't know but I will try to look something up.

---------- Post added at 03:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

From my point of view, I use flashify when ever I want to flash something like the patched Magisk update boot.img. when I flash it through Edl tool it bootloops my device but when I tried Flashify it worked without no problems. I never tested a zip file before but it better than nothing.

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

Hope that helps
[Blade General] Unssin:
Anybody know how to root Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935T)?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Did Flashify work?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
This device will be so much easier and better to use once rw option becomes available and custom roms become available. Can we still not flash zips yet?
[Blade General] Unssin:
We still can't
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Question... Was anyone able to update to magisk 18.1 without causeing a dfu bootloop? Tired of seeing the need to update.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

Wondering if I can just place the boot.img from the stock firmware and patch magisk 18.1 into it then use homies tool to load via edl mode.:fingers-crossed:
[Blade General] Unssin:
I did

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Through Edl mode cause bootloop I already tried it
[Blade General] Unssin:
You still wondering how?
[Blade General] Matthew702:
I know you posted the way to do it with flash.apk but I was unable to properly install.. sent me into a bootloop.. so I just stuck with this 18.0.... was kinda hoping u could go into a little more detail.. hey on the upside I was able to unlock the bootloader of the ans ul40... Did it last night... First person to unlock that bootloader... Without using a paid root method.. in the process of creating a patched boot for the Obama/bush phone. Just think of how many of them are out there... That's allot of hits on YouTube... If them bums decide to speed up there phones..

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Also were u able to pass safety net check?
[Blade General] Unssin:
I think somehow you did it wrong, because the last person I helped had the same problem but by the method I provided he successfully update it. And yes I was able to pass the safety net check it showed me a green check mark in both. Right now I'm trying to get the system to become right able somehow I succeed but from the twrp recovery and it chmod the /system as 777 but after every boot system goes back to normal and my Twrp terminal isn't working. Twrp reads my internal storage now I think because it read the /system and what's inside of it. I think I'm close to solve the problem. Anyway I'm going to post the instructions on how to update magisk in the next post just give me a min.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Instructions:

1. Download this https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eCzffxcKNN1GZJnwTVQOsyb9sb-an8Em .

2. Download Flashify from the play store and flash it as a boot image and then do a reboot.

3. Go back to magisk manager and check if its updated. No More The Annoying Update Message.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Never chmod 777 build.prop in TWRP or it will leave you phone really messed up.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

I was able to uninstall system apps like MyMetro
[Blade General] Matthew702:
That's dope.. question if I'm able to unlock the bootloader of the ZTE z982 would it make it easier to get full root?

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Wondering if I can use the same method as the ans ul40.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

At least all those f's u got in class we're worth it.
[Blade General] Unssin:
If you reboot to bootloader won't do nothing it's just going to do a normal boot I got an idea. I'm trying to extract the system.img and place the su file in /system/bin repacked and I think it will work.

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

I managed to copy files to /system. But I need an SD card or fix twrp can't read internal storage
[Blade General] Matthew702:
No I'm going to use a Qualcomm tool after I boot into edl mode. And unlock the bootloader.

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

But I'm not at home rn. I'll let you know when I try it.
[Blade General] Unssin:
What Qualcomm tool?
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Uni Android tool

9.0.1

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

No go
[Blade General] Unssin:
I actually figured something out well trying to repair my phone after I was messing with /system. I found out that there is a unlock bootloader option in the ZTE_Blade_Z_Max_Edl_Tool but the required files in C:\ZTE_Blade_Z_Max_Edl_Tool\unlock is missing/empty.If you right click on the edl tool and click edit and then ctrl + f and typed bootloader and clicked next you will see a option says I believe "Automatic unlock bootloader" or something similar.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

When you say full root you mean like actually finding su in the /system/bin ? If yes im working on that
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Yeah like be able to modify system files like mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume..etc

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 AM ----------

Read and write.

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

It worked! no more annoying update... But safety net still isn't passing. Any fix? Pro
[Blade General] Unssin:
actually i was able to copy stuff to /system. Here how i did it.

1. downloaded Solid Explorer from play store and copied the file I want to modify from Root to internal storage/Download

2. modify it

3. then copy it to my pc then reboot the phone to twrp.

4. I went to the mount menu and checked system

5. from pc i adb push the modified file for example..... ( you have to open cmd where the modified file is at and have adb) "adb push file name <destination folder>" "adb push example.zip /system"

6. then when i reboot and go to solid explorer is see the modified file where i place it in twrp.

Thats what I did. Try it, is better than nothing :^)

And when I first used the root moon first created I just downloaded lucky patcher and turned them off. When I tried to uninstall system apps it wouldn't.
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Just tried to uninstall and same thing.. says it did in luckypatcher and the disappear but as soon as I back out the y are just chilling on the springboard. And I know normally u should reboot for them to disappear.. worked with my lg aristo. But when I do nothing. I tap them and they still open.. also I use es file explorer pro. I can enable root and all that. I go into the mixer_paths.xml allows me to modify. But when I try to save.. an error pops up.. saying unable to modify. Sense it's only one thing I'm trying to modify. I'm gonna use the alternate method u described. Good looks

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------
[Blade General] Matthew702:
Should I install su?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Sorry, I was asleep.if you trying to uninstall system apps is by twrp from what I collected the /system doesn't mount as rw except when it not using the OS because if you issue the command from a terminal it will say read only and device is busy. But if you go to twrp then and mount system and then use the twrp file manager in the advance menu you can uninstall the apps, it's either in /system/app or /system/priv-app. You have to see which folder you want to uninstall for example MyMetro then click on the folder and in the right bottom corner click on the blue check mark thing and then click deleted but make sure you in the right place and be careful what u delete.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Nah it's just a SuperSU app so you can manage root access which we already have in magisk

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Give this a shot.

Flash it through magisk don't try any other stuff like flahsify or twrp, and it's much easier.
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
Welp, I'm back and working on this phone again.

So, what needs to be done? And do we have fully/mostly working TWRP recovery yet?
[Blade General] Unssin:
Kind of and no. I mean twrp is helpful with moving stuff to /system and other readable partition but internal is a big no no
[Blade General] Jasonls221:
So, automatic encryption is still a thing?
[Blade General] Unssin:
yes
[Blade General] evtoofly:
Everytime I try mounting something in twrp, it shows my storages as 0 mb. At this point, I stopped using it because formatting my data everytime and having to go through the startup process over and over is not worth my time anymore. Hopefully this device can be made as read write sooner or later.
[Blade General] Jasonls221:

[Blade General] evtoofly:
How were you able to change it because it never works for me
[Blade General] Unssin:
1. Lol, first you will need a update1b.zip and it have to be a 1080x1920 for best resolution or I got one if you want one

2. Then i copy it to my PC

On my phone reboot to twrp and mount the system

3. On my PC I used this command to push update1b.zip (I opened cmd where the file is at) "adb push update1b.zip /sdcard"

4. After that I went to install and flashed the zip file and then it worked.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

If you need help with the process just reply?
[Blade General] evtoofly:
does it necessarily have to be called ¨update1b¨ and what do I do if it doesnt let me mount system because it always shows my partitions as 0 mbs
