UPDATE 3 - VIRGIN ASKING FOR £15.32 TO UNLOCK THE PHONE!!!! THEY SAID THEY HAD TO CONTACT ZTE DIRECTLY AND ALSO IT COULD TAKE UP TO 28 DAYS....? WHICH I UNDERSTAND AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT POSSIBLE TO SEND DIGITAL INFORMATION AROUND THE WORLD IN A MATTER OF SECONDS HA HA HA HA HAVE EMAILED ZTE (AGAIN) AND ASKED THEM TO GIVE ME OR SELL ME THE UNLOCK CODE FOR MY KIS. CURRENTLY WAITING ON THEM
UPDATE 2: THE ONLINE UNLOCKERS COULD NOT GET AN UNLOCK CODE FOR ME SO I AM GOING TO ASK VIRGIN DIRECTLY... WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW
UPDATE I HAVE PAID FOR AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR AN UNLOCK CODE BASED ON MY IMEI. HOPEFULLY I CAN ROOT IT USING ONE OF THE APPS ONCE IT IS UNLOCKED? ANY ADVICE/POINTERS/LINKS FOR THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
ANOTHER ZTE KIS ROOT/UNLOCK QUESTION
Hi, not sure if this should't be in the developer hacking forum?
I have tried and failed to (root/unlock/brick) this phone in that order.
I have so far tried
Android_Root1.0
SuperOneClick 1.9.5
Universal Androot 1.6.1 & 1.6.2
z4root
Casual-PublicBeta4
dumperQuacomm0.9
P020120908271935113181.exe
UnlockRoot
DCunlocker
I have a debranded ROM - r0_de-branded_roamer2-update-signed
I am thinking that the root stuff is failing because it is not unlocked…?
Anyone got any step by step advice/guide or recommendation for a paid AP or how to use ADB properly to find how to unlock it so I can try to root it again orrrrrrrr an AP or how perhaps I can Root it as is as I am going to keep using Virgin?
Thanks in advance
Have a good day

Hi XDA users
My prime is in RMA waiting to be fixed as I had bricked it. It will cost me $200AU to fix the motherboard apparently, but before I pay them I was just wondering if I am able to unlock the device and root again, as some people have posted that they are unable to unlock or root after RMA. I asked the tech and he said it will come back running 10.4.2.16, I was just wondering if there was a way to unlock and root the device, or is it on a firmware which is going to be stuck on stock forever I have only a few days to reply to the tech, so any information, steps, or guides on how to unlock and root (unlock mainly) would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys and gals
Also if it helps I am in Australia

I would check back with him that you have the correct build number. 10.4.2.16 was not a public release.
Anyone have any luck rooting the zte stormer / n9520? I know the zte warp (n9510) has a root method already, but I was wondering if that would work on the upcoming zte stormer. I know its not out yet but maybe someone has a pre release device?
Here's the info:
N9520, android 4.1.2
Baseband: N9520B01
Kernel 3.4.0-svn10453 [email protected]
SW: N9520V1.0.0B02
HW: cyyB
ZTE is obviously pretty new to the us cellphone market, so it doesn't seem like there's been lots of progress made on rooting their phones yet. Or maybe there's just not many people buying them yet??
Are there any generic rooting methods that are common for ZTE devices? I'm just not finding a lot of results.

I own a few ZTE devices and as far as I'm concerned there are no ZTE specific roots. The older ZTE Blade device was able to be easily rooted using Z4Root apk which basically runs a Gingerbreak exploit. There are other Android OS specific exploits capable of rooting ZTE devices (i.e. Bin4ry for ICS devices) but most of these have been patched by now. ZTE devices definitely do not have as big market as Samsung devices and therefore development for these is less. I would recommend Vroot V1.7.1 one-click root tool that has allowed me to successfully root a variety of JB devices whenever you have the new Stormer in hand.

Root method for zte n9520
Hey guys. So I asked this question a bit back and found an answer...check out this Post. http://www.photo-cool.com/?p=136637 I even emailed the guy and he responded telling me that everything remains the same but the phone is rooted so you can use "Root" apps ie: Titanium etc. The guy will also update the post as soon as he finds a custom rom that might work on it but for now just to root the phone, follow these simple instructions. So this might've solved the issue. I found a cheap case on ebay that came with a screen protector and a car plug for like 5 bucks. Anyway...love the phone
Once again page is :

rooting the zte max
Yes the guy happens to be me and hes right just follow the directions i posted and you should be fine. I am working on a way to get the custom recovery working so we can then proceed on making custom roms on it i have 2 of these phones so i definitely dont mind building and testing on one of the devices since i purchased it to develope around it. Zte has always been difficult to get around but when theres a will theres a way and i determined to find it.
Most already knew about the root before he posted, but I greatly appreciate you working on recovery and roms. Would you possibly have an eta on those or custom kernel's?

MSL for programming
Is it even possible to get the MSL for this phone? I've tried all the MSL readers on the internet, tried all tricks (getprop ril.MSL), tried alogcat method, yet no show. Is it possible at all?

I then flashed Phil touch, there is a package out there to do it. Google Phil touch.
Hi, I'm new to this community. I have experience jailbreaking my iphone, but I am unfamiliar with how the different rooting applications work across multiple platforms (e.g. are they universal). I was thinking of buying a Sonim XP8 because it has a bunch of interesting features that I haven't seen on mainstream phones. However, I am not willing to buy one unless I am able to root it. Is my dream possible?
I too would like an XP8 with root. Is there anyone who can help with this request per chance?

I tried kingoroot, and it failed. I haven't been able to find any options either. Hopefully, someone has some ideas. I have come to rely on root to block ads. They are beyond horrible.
any update yet? is there any root yet ive tried about every root apps i cant even find working drivers for this phone
Sonim xp8 dual sim issue
When i put 2 sim cảd to the device but only 1 work
I talked to Sonim about getting root access as there is a problem with my Xp3800 flip and I know its just a xml edit. They told me the phone cannot be rooted as its encrypted and has secure boot which makes sense as these are geared towards public safety
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading old posts to get current on the state of the collective effort here. Though I'm looking to contribute overall anyway I can, my current short term goal is to get hotspot working with my current carrier (Mint) with the used XP8 I purchased. The handset was originally an AT&T phone and came with the Android 8 update installed.
At the moment, I'm attempting to get the 10 firmware update hoping that might solve the hotspot issue, but I suspect that it's the carrier specific software baked into the image that's the real cause.
Today I reached out to AT&T and, despite not being a customer, they claimed to have allowed my phone (By IMEI) to get access to the 10 update. We'll see if it actually works as the tech indicated that it would take two hours for the authorization to propagate. If so, I'll attempt to pull off the firmware and share it.
Hi,
I have a Huawei Y6 SCL-L21, Build SCL-L21C432B130. Still running a (totally outdated) Android 5.1.1, bootloader locked.
I want to unlock the bootloader, but the Huawei website to request the unlock key is down since a while. Great move, now I can basically throw the device away. I will definitely not buy a Huawei phone again for this bull**** move.
I read that some folks managed to get root with KingRoot v4.52 or v4.6, but that didn't work for me. Also I find that tool incredibly shady.
Is there any other option to get a custom rom on this device?

For unlock code bootloader use DC unlocker... for me it works... you have to pay but I guess it is only solution... then look at the posts in the Forum to know how to do it
I just remembered that I wanted to post this:
I can confirm that DC unlocker worked for me, when I used it to unlock the Huawei Y6 earlier this year.
is there a new (and maybe free) option for this phone in 2021?
Hi world
Im just a newbie here.
And i recently got a used Droid dna
With the version 4.09.605.8
That's what i can afford for the moment
Stock official rom. No root, no s-off, no unlocked boot
I read a lot of old threads before posting this one
And all the answers were pointing to a payed tool called sunshine or moonshine
In My country we can't even have access to an international payement card and 25$ is a lot lot of money. So you could see THE REAL CAN COME A DREAM not the Dream Come true.
Im wondring if there is a free way or tool could help me to root my phone and install a twrp recovery so i will be able to make backup and a lot of stuff
Please tell if Im in the right thread
And what are the safe steps to root my phone etc
Still no answer
