Any luck yet?
Also interested if anything has come on this device. Seems like a fairly decent phone for the price ($28.99 - Walmart family mobile) but could definitely use a bloatware lesson lol. If it helps at all I unlocked Developer Options (via the usual way) and it has an option to unlock bootloader...can anyone tell me what happens if I do that...lol before I do that?
Thanks in advance for any tips\tricks anyone can share;

Does anyone know what has become of this?
root
ive rooted phones before but there is no rom available for the z798bl.
I have two of these phones and too much free time.
How can i copy the rom to an sdtcard?
Then i guess id need the android equivlent of Interactive Disassembler Pro to make a rooted rom.
IM new at this, Someone Please Tell Me What needs to be done!
I think the problem is as follows:
There is NO stock ROM for the z798bl available on the web
'
I need to root this ***** because wifihotspot sharing is disabled.
Factors:
Marshmallow 6.0.1 with certain service providers BLOCKS data so:
If you have one z798bl with unlimited data
and another z798bl with no data plan
mMking a hotspot to connect the two phones is Blatantly Broken
Just keeping the rom it has, has anyone ever got root privileges on the Z798BL?

I haven't found anything at all either...then my Laptop took a sh*t on my so I've pretty much tabled it for now but as soon as I can I'm going to go ahead and try my best to make a shiny paper weight brick out of a new one...it's $24.88 at Walmart now so if it works then sweet, if not.../shrug...I've wasted more money on way worse things than that in me life lol. As for putting together your own ROM...I'd say go for it...I'm not quite confident enough with the little bit of experience I have so far to try that but if you do I will help any way I can...You might go look at Googles downloads site...you can download Android sdk Suite for developers onto your PC for free...I think its focused on App Development mainly but it comes with a bunch of other cool stuff too, including a virtual phone that is an Android emulator for testing out your experiments. Didn't mean to write a book here lol but please keep me in the loop and I'll return the favor. ✌
Z898BL source
I've found the source to the rom but not allowed to post outside links?

I haven't tried this on the exact phone model you mentioned, but I used it on a Z836BL and it seems to work on any model whatsoever, no root necessary. Cheers!

A good and bad thing is that you get full control of your device. It is good because it allows you to accomplish some things that would otherwise not be possible, like removing bloatware, tweaking the OS at a low level, etc. It can be bad because if you don't know what you are doing you can cause severe instability in your device, making it practically unusable (you could flash to restore, and go back to usable).
In general, if you are careful and READ to get an understanding of what you are doing, you will not run into much trouble.
There are many ways to do it, like flashing a rooted ROM or using SuperOneClick, but the options and ways to do it will depend on your specific device. If you let us know what this is we can help you with more precise details (what model of the SGS2 do you have?).
Hope this helps.
hey im new to this forum and looking for help. I have an HTC Inspire 4G with ATT and would like to root my phone so I can use it to tether and hook up other devices with unlimited data without having a tether plan. I dont know anything about rooting, ROMS and flashing. can u help? thanks

Since you are new, you should start getting familiarized with the forum, and how to search before you ask questions. Searching before asking is one of the rules here. In your case, this is the forum for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1015
Please take a look at this FYI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21919233&postcount=13

I honestly deon't believe that anybody has taken the time to configure a 6.0 rom for this phone. I had plans to get some compiling done myself for it but hadn't got around to it yet. i hopefully will be looking into it within the next few weeks, after i port either cwm or twrp to the Phablet.
Really?
Sweet! Definitely keep me posted on that I would love to see some progress on this for sure. Being that the blu studio 7.0 II is still fairly a new device I would of thought someone would of developed something by now. I guess no one really cares because it ain't a SAMSUNG. lol

Perhaps I can help you. I have compiled android from source one before but I didn't do anything to the code, just issued "make" and waited. I really didn't explore the code. I would like to understand the different parts in an android build and understand where device specific information goes. That said, I am by no means green. I veteran of bash and vi from the "build your own kernel" Slackware era and more embarrassing relics before that. So, if you can use the help, just outline the process you follow as it would likely be the same for other devices. Flowchart it and assign squares to me. Then I could learn how it all fits together. If there is anything at all I can do to contribute, please let me know. I was considering a Blue Studio 7, but I want to learn regardless of what I might get.
Thanks
Really looking forward to this. Being that this device is starting to slow down on me extremely, I think a marshmallow update would straighten this phone out.

only other option is this
(need to register and pay-maybe for a month access and initial download limit sufficient for one device-need correct drivers and flash tools)
http://clangsm.com/ftpdemo/index.php?dir=Flashes/BLU/
similar thing happened with me recently on BLU Studio 7 LTE version (stuck on BLU Android start screen)
did factory reset did not work
ended up returning to vendor (BLU support had only factory reset as option and advised item was under warranty so told me to send it back)
have a new one now...planning to extract system and system dump (do not want similar situation again or pay a 1/3 cost for the rom zip) (not sure if possible but will try; know it can be rooted)
works great though

Any progress been made on this? I'd love to install a custom MM rom on my Blu Studio 7.0 LTE. Thanks for all you're doing!
+1 on this. I have a Studio 7 LTE in the mail and would love to be able to upgrade it somehow. I'm not quite technical enough to make a ROM but I am highly technically inclined if I can help in any way.
It says here that the studio 7 devices are getting Nougat. Anyone think there is any truth to it? I tweeted Blu and asked them if it was going to happen but haven't heard back yet. Kinda skeptical
I just received this reply from when I asked if this phone will get nougat
my blu phone
how can i update it to marshmallow!please help! thank you!
Thanks guys! This effort is greatly appreciated, and it looks like we will need to DIY a build for the Blu phones. I am in a similar bind as the rest of you. My company decided to cheap out on test devices (I pushed for the also inexpensive Nexus varieties), rather than go the normal route of using an emulator. I am a Project Manager by trade, and I have programming experience (primarily web with various PHP frameworks). My previous/current secondary test device was a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running an international version of DU with TWRP. If we have any traction, l am happy to assist, and I love learning new things. On my agenda right now is giving myself a crash course on Android Studio and its associated MVC to start my own project in case this one loses traction.
Find it rather odd, this device is still on 5.0 and king root or kingo root can not root it. Am I missing something or is BLU bootloader just as robust as Samsung??
http://www.androidauthority.com/lenovo-tango-2017-736736
General Manager of Android and Chrome at Lenovo, Jeff Merideth recently mentioned that since other companies will be working on new Tango phones for the 2017 year, it only makes sense for Lenovo to do the same. He mentions that since they have already made their first device, if they can make a second generation while others are creating their initial offering, they should be quite a bit ahead of the game.
The company had 6,000 developers purchase the device online and at events since the launch

And where are those devs? I feel like I'm the only person on XDA trying to do something for this device.
Also a total sale of 6k devices makes it depressing when thinking about porting LineageOS, so much work for so little..
I made that super simplified root guide and there were not more then 5-6 people interested

I personally root for Xposed and ability to remove any system app I don't want. I also like the ability to run root for add blocking app. I like to back up apps with titanium backup when changing devices. Plus many more like twrp bckp, advanced power menu, color/themed icons etc. Just to name a few.

Thanks I sure appreciate your work I was about to resale when I couldn't get root. Now I am content with the device and that's thanks to you and the Russian Lenovo Forums. Thanks again!!!
Can i ask you what system apps did you remove? I removed with success (no root i disabled for user zero from adb) "user experience" app, but i want to remove all the ****.
Thank you!
Just thought I'd offer a free service to obtain root using Sam's method. I do not speak any other language than English not to discriminate however I can translate using google translate just be sure to use propper spelling. Seen a lot of people having trouble. With respect to Sampwnd users may feel free to contact me, however, it's on a time consented basis adherent to my schedule. Contact me at a time and I will put it in my calendar and contact you, I do read all messages. New members will get priority as I feel a great learning experience could push someone new into the scene.
Requirements:
Windows OS or Virtualbox Windows
Mac OSX Lion or higher
New User (Admin Privileges)
No personal information
No incriminating devices
Good intentions for obtaining root.
Click thanks after you've been taken care of.
Yes please

hey i was wondering if you possibly give us some insight to your methods, here in this thread? Possibly some steps, apps, youtube links? Would love to help spread the knowledge!
Well it really just vary's from the type of phone you have, Getting the MSL without root is a pain, however once rooted, you are than able to control anything in the phone i.e what's locked and unlocked. Know and understand that the letters ending after the base model numbers determine a big factor, such as G955UF is a unlocked world version of the 7 plus, it doesn't use the USA version of snap dragon. When the port was created and or root process it it was built off a certan type of model, few adjustments may be needed, i suggest checking out Android Studios, it comes with android dev packaging to help you kick start.
Download:
Sampwnd all neccesary files from the thread D
Download both odins
and download ADB and fast boot.
I will say this, with odin once you put the 4 files in, you need to boot into download moad, once you see the blue screen pop up then plug in your phone and if your mac you type ADB if your windows its ./ADB youll know if it connected or not.
It's pretty simple, I just think alot of people get stuck, so I am willing to hel.

I understand its easy to buy an unlock but i would really love to learn this process.

Firstly, congratulations on root.
Give "MSL Code Finder" a search within the play store, root only apps are generally a good area to search within, I couldn't throw a name on one, as my time with development on the G955U is pretty much over, i'm on to some other brands to provide more attention to. However should you need any further assistance, i can use teamviewer to connect and help you out.

I am interested in rooting my first Android phone after switching from an iPhone for almost ten years, aside from a Note 3 that I had for a few months. I have the S8+ and am pretty technically inclined, although I had a Note 3, I bricked it during my learning experience. I just don't trust myself to do it correctly at this point, I absolutely need to be able to use the app "Amazon Flex" and I am told there is way to hide the root, even though they use a certain method but I am understanding have been told that there are other options available for me to hide the root from this app. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to learn. I appreciate your time and look forward your response. I have the SM-G955U

Hey watch out for this guy, everyone. He lives in my hometown and he's really shady. He'll hop on TeamViewer and rummage through your devices and networks.
He sold me a phone with an unpaid balance and told me he could unlock it quickly through TeamViewer. After 3 days (about 12 total hours spent) spent, I eventually told him no thanks. He got very offended and started acting weird.. Even told me he had hacked my network through my television? Haha, anyway, be careful with this guy.
PS. Just in case he's moved to a different name, he uses a strange syntax in his sentences.. There's just something off about it. Its how I was able to recognize him on here.
PPS. I have his name and location if anyone else has been burnt by this guy.

Fuego firmware
I don't have that phone anymore. I sold it to a buddy and he dropped it into oblivion.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to leave Android behind and move to Tizen.
What's Tizen you might ask? It's a linux based OS that is meant for small embedded devices like phones or TV's... They really emphasize TV's because the Tizen project is backed by Samsung and they are going to start putting it on all of their TV's.... It works on phones too with an array of processors.... Instead of using Java in a virtual machine to make/run apps, it uses a native HTML5 interpreter. HTML5 is open, and a standard... "Java" is owned by Sun Microsystems and is not open. fsck Google and Sun and Android.... I'm moving to the new way to make your phone operate all neat and "free"... I'm moving to Tizen.
Search the googs for Tizen and you will come up with it because I can't post links yet.
I"m pretty sure that I saw a bunch of tools that help you in stall Tizen and forget about the hassle of "rooting" your phone, or dealing with that locked bootloader nonsense, or (dare I say, though I cannot confirm) that the whole "sim/carrier lock" that keeps you with that crapola cell provider is a non issue when the community writes the cell software and not some greedy corporation. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure that Tizen can boot your phone to an SD card and ignore all the proprietary crap that the T mobiles and ATT's of the world use to force their "service" down your throat.
"Android" used to sound cool, but it has been replaced by a free/open OS who's name sounds like some bad-ass general from the ancient orient.... Hail Tizen!!
PS Tizen is part of the Linux foundation.
