Been looking for a root for My ZTE Score(x500). Really want to get it rooted so i can really play around with the phone but nothing has helped me root it , if you guys have found a way i would love to try it
Have you tried the Cricket root method, I have a Cricket branded Score sitting around that I picked up when Best Buy had them on sale and this worked to root it:

Unless MetroPCS has something different in their version it should work.
I tried that's but for some odd reason it's not working for me, and i don't know why?
It doesn't work for MetroPCS. Nothing does.

I had to break down and try and pay someone with experience and a windows computer to try and get the red recovery and some roms on the gf's fascinate since my mac failed to even recognize it.
2 different shops that advertised rooting for the fascinate wouldn't even touch it! This 9 year old indian boy troubleshooted it and figured that the phone had issues with the sd card and unrooted it so she could send it in for a replacement. There is no longer root, super user, or busy box on it, but is there anything else I need to remove before sending it back to verizon?
Also, is there anyone here in the san diego area who would be willing to work with me when she gets the new one? She absolutely abhors the stock rom.

Funny thing is that it is nearly impossible to perma-brick this phone.
You should look into Heimdall for the Mac. Or come into the IRC...I'm sure we could walk you through the process...it isn't terribly complex.

I believe you are getting rippped off by so called rooting shops. Ask a member here on XDA to help you out, or go on irc for help.

So, just got a nexus 7 and want to to use my Amaze to tether to it for mobile data. I've searched around A LOT and not found a post that answers my question. I've seen several posts about tether hacking APN's and "viewing formats"? to trick T-MO into seeing the downloaded info as being a mobile device, or specifically an Android device. I don't want the hassle or know if it's possible from my tablet to my phone. I am actually looking for an APP that permits tethering. I am willing to pay for it, but I haven't found one that works. I've tried several free versions that permit you to test the app before buying the paid version. And some others that try using the stock tethering but use the aftermarket APP to get to it. Nothing works. Either T-MO blocks it still, or it can never fully connect. Does anyone know an app that works? I have an unlocked bootloader, and am running Eclipzes speed rom. I AM S-ON. Will S-OFF help? Any advice is appreciated.

I used the APN change and built-in tethering app as found documented in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332627
That works for me and a stock only ever temp rooted Amaze 4g. You said you are willing to pay, then you could just pay T-Mobile if that is the case. No need to pay any 3rd party if that what you decide.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah, I meant pay for an app once and be done. $15 per month for the foreseeable future just to access to my own data plan is stupid. I'll try that method. Does anyone know if I go back to gingerbread if I'll regain the feature? Has anyone tried this? I would be willing to go that route, the Nexus is my play toy now so it won't bother me soo much to be running 2.3 on the Amaze. Although I'll miss speed rom...

I was just wondering will Sprint let you upgrade to a new device with the One Up Program (or with their standard upgrade program) if you have a rooted phone? I have an EVO 4G LTE rooted with CM 10.1 and my upgrade is a few months away. Did Sprint give anyone problems? Or do they not care?
Thanks
It is best that you unroot your phone, but it shouldn't hurt you. just hide the root app

My store (in Orange County, CA) is a pain in the butt with the phone being in a hacked state, if you can hide the Unlocked bootloader state, you will almost be certain to be good to go.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully sprint doesnt give me any problems.
The store here didn't care when I traded in my rooted and custom ROM Evo 3D
I've never seen em give a damn about root and custom ROMs, after having my screen replaced 3 times and speaker twice (last speaker got me a whole new bezel, but I remained S-off, so I know they didn't swap out. YMMV. If there's more than one store close, I'd just go do it with root, if they give you any guff, flash stock and hit the other one.

You can always just RUU the phone and use regaw leinads tool to set it back so the bootloader looks like it is s-off!
I've traded in rooted phones at my local corporate store and they never cared, even when I told them it was rooted.

Hey guys, I am having a bit of a problem.
I had a Motorola Atrix HD, before I got the LG Optimus G(E970). I always had LTE here at work, matter of fact, most everyone else still has LTE here.
Since I got the Optimus G, I can't seem to get anything but HSPA+, on any rom/stock I have tried. I've tried a lot, and none seem to work.
I have a question. While writing this out, I thought of something. When I first got the device it was on 4.04. I don't have ATT, so I couldn't get the OTA, so I flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom through CWM. I swear I had LTE When I first used this phone, as it's pretty obvious on stock (4GLTE) next to signal.
Would me flashing that rom, instead of upgrading it via OTA, or that LGNSP program cause issues?
I also would like to point out, no matter what radio I flash, it never actually changes.
I've tried all the "tricks" to get LTE to work for T-Mobile, the service menu change, the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Nothing seems to change it.
If anyone has any insight on this, I would definitely appreciate it.
A lot of people have talked about having problems getting LTE to work on the T-Mobile network...have you tried hybrid modems ? The thread is somewhere around general subforums I believe...

Yea, I think that may be the problem, they don't seem to be flashing, as my baseband isn't changing at all. Is it safe to use a factory image after unlocking the bootloader?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I've never done that so I don't wanna tell you yes. Than you screw your phone up. I (think) you'd be safe doing so but I doubt that will change the fact of you not getting LTE...

Is there any one working on a custom recovery for this device?
It's been suggested that Framaroot will root this device. If any one has rooted this device please post how you accomplished it for any one interested.
Edit: Attempted Framaroot. No go. Attempt failed. If any one has any other suggestions please post them for any one with this device including myself.

i just got this phone and its not too shabby. coming from an s3.
Guy with the screen name "jonsvibe" says his is rooted but as of yet I haven't gotten him to reply to let us know how he did it.

Another way I came across is SRSroot. Haven't used it yet though so don't know if it will work or brick. Hopefully not the latter. Although StraightTalk said they will replace my GSII when one becomes available in the warehouse so I may not root this device as I will have to send it back at some point.
Also tried Z4root without success. That went as far as trying to gain root shell then freezes and closes. Things go wrong after that and I have to reboot to restore it back to normal.

I used SRS root to root mine. Seems to work fine. Having an issue with my WiFi not wanting to connect but it may just be my router being cute...
I used the smart root option and the Gandalf exploit was the one that worked for me...

Ok. Thanks to Chaz the rooting issue is solved. Now all we need is some one to take an interest in this device and provide us with a recovery and some roms. PLEASE????
I want to learn how to port and create myself but I currently have no PC to learn on so am totally dependant on the good people here at XDA.
Thanks XDA and God Bless you all.

How did you get Towel to root your device? Just downloaded it again and it tells me that my device isn't supported.
Update: Downloaded Framaroot again and tried the Ganadalf exploit for the second time. SUCCESS. Device is now rooted running superuser.

root for alcatel a851l
After a few tries I finally was successful with the no computer framaroot app. I chose the install supersu and then Gandalf. Then checked with a root check app to make sure I was successful. One of the first apps I chose was adblockplus, it's nice to play games with no more ad interruptions. I live way out in the middle of BFE, at&t signal comes and goes. So I've played around a bit and installed internet booster and faster internet 2x apps. Now I'm getting a 4g signal at times and a great improvement in internet speed and even now see a better signal in general. I also installed an app and froze preinstalled apps I don't use and even hate just to make sure nothing important was damaged. Then the best feeling was to finally remove completely.
I'm still having trouble getting a hotspot or WiFi tether to run. Foxfi was my first choice, since I've used numerous times on a variety of phones but had no luck. I'm currently researching and trying different apps to get my phone to be wifi hotspot router to hook up my tablet to save my eyes from this small screen and then connect to my printer as well. Would be a lifesaver if my son could connect to his Xbox.
Ok. I bricked my device by changing to many fonts. Does anyone know the proper flashing tool for this device and can any one supply a system.img that I can flash back to my device to unbrick it? Any help would be appriciated.

Ive heard the bootloader is locked on this device. Can any one confirm this and can it be unlocked using fastboot or other wise?
The bootloader for this device is listed (by the app Quickboot) as (LFACQ0Q0). Don't know enough to know if this helps in unlocking the bootloader or not. Tried to boot into the bootloader using the quickboot app but no luck. Haven't found any thing on Google about this devices bootloader.
