[Q] ZTE Mustang/ATT Z998 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone - Anyone know of a custom ROM for the ZTE Z998 (Mustang)? I'm sure people are working on them because it is a fairly new phone. My issue is the ATT APN can not be deleted or turned off and MMS doesn't work. I need to delete it. I tried APN Backup/Restore as a system app but that doesn't work. This device runs 4.2.1. Thanks!

[Q] cannot send mms after new update?

Anyone else having this problem? I was rooted on 4.1.26 (<i think that was it). and updated and rooted on the newest 4.1.57 using a guide here. Well I tried to send a friend a picture and it keeps coming up with an error. I also heard the tethering workaround using a custom apn wont work anymore either (havent tried myself). but I just wanna know if im the only one experiencing this or not, and if im not alone is there anyone with a solution? I am new to this forum and to android (changed from iphone).

Hi guys,

Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers
data plan, locked sim
honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
i rooted my tab when i got it, i remember also that i did a backup in case i would have to sent it to repair
i have superuser installed.
Now i saw a way to get ICS buy doing this :
[...]So go grab a copy of 4.0.4 for your tab by hitting MENU / SETTINGS / ABOUT DEVICE / SYSTEM UPDATE and click “check for updates”.
I use my tab a lot for work, i got plenty of apps and i need to know :
if i should do another backup of my tab now before trying to update?
if i have to reinstall everything after the update ?
if i have to unroot before trying to update?
am i gonna be able to root it again after update?
am i gonna get any real improvment on my speed/quality/daily usage with ICS ?
thanks for your help

When I upgraded to ICS all my apps and data remained intact. But since you are already rooted, go ahead and do a backup of all your user apps with Titanium Backup.
I think as long as you are still using Samsung's recovery image, you will not have to unroot your device.
From my reading of other people's upgrades, they lost root after upgrading. But you can regain root afterwords.
As far as improvements in speed/quality/daily usage; my opinion is yes. Other will argue differently but I have enjoyed ICS on my Tab.
Good Luck and click my Thanks button if this helped.
thanks for your help, am doing the backup with titanium atm
u said i could regain root after upgrading, do you have any link ? i know i know, am a bit lazy to look around sorry
i remember that it was really easy with honeycomb, i hope the maniplation is as simple with ICS

Take this with the knowledge that you are in Canada and I have a true 4G Tab. I do not know what this will do with your device but here is the procedure I used to upgrade to ICS and root my VZW Tab. I would suggest seeking the assistance of someone with the same device.

i still have superuser and titanium backup installed and working
all my apps are still there too

so far, combined to advance task killer, my tab is freaking fast
thanks again, i appreciate it

Used SuperOneClick which says it has worked however none of the Root checkers say it is and the Super user apps can't update their binaries, anyone know how to properly root these tablets?
I too have purchased this tablet from ALDI, I am very happy with it. Would love to be able to root it... you know what I mean

I have successfully rooted it following the instructions from http://whrl.pl/RdvMXo
However I had to do some things a little different, (after reading the guide you'll understand my next bit)
after I clicked the restore data and it doing the restore it's meant to reboot the tablet although mine didn't so after trying this several times I rebooted it manually to which it actually worked.
My only anger towards this tablet is that it was advertised as 1.2GHz CPU when in fact it's 1GHz.
Champion! Worked for me, Only took 10min.
Now that the device is rooted, what would you suggest next?
Im not well versed on the apps, roms or other things to run on a tablet. So any ideas would be great.
My phone is rooted with Clockwork Mod and a custom rom, is this possible with the tablet?
And once again, thanks for the help
Fred

See now I haven't done anything ROM wise with my tablet as of yet because there are no ROMs that I can find for our little chinese made no name brand tablet, I'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for any ROMs I can find or ones that people have tested, I'm just not keen to test one of them myself and brick my tablet.
Hi, I need someone's help in testing a new version of my Online Nandroid script. It has built-in support for MTK based devices such as yours. If anyone would like to try the beta, please send me a PM.

[Q] Help for novice re: Custom Rom / Rooting / SkyGo

Hi All,
Help would be much appreciated on this. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to the whole Rooting / Custom ROM thing, so if I sound stupid or something doesn't make sense then just let me know and I'll try to explain better.
I bought a Sumvision Cyclone Voyager BT 10.1 back in June running Android 4.1.
Sumvision then released a firmware update to move to Android 4.2 which I flashed to my device in August/September I think (not important).
Anywhoo, the SkyGo app has now been made available on the Play Store, so I downloaded, and looked to put a bit of Sport on, but it says it doesn't work on Rooted devices.
I don't think I have a rooted device, but after searching the internet a little it appears that SkyGo won't work if you have a Custom ROM either (which I'm guessing this update is?!).
What would be the best option here to get SkyGo working? I'm happy to go back to Android 4.1 - but I'm not sure if flashing this to my device will still show as a Custom ROM?
I'm also wondering if actually Rooting my device and then using one of those 'Hide My Root' apps to fool SkyGo would also work?
Any advice greatly appreciated - the easiest solution (other than buying a different device) would be best for a simpleton like me.

That's the thing, I don't think my device is rooted. It has a custom ROM, which is why I don't think SkyGo works, but it's not rooted, so the 'Hide my Root' app won't work.
Would actually Rooting my device work then? Just so I can use that app?

Any suggestions? Should I root it and use the root hider app? Does that hide the fact you're using a custom ROM? Does anyone use them?

Prime GSM V 8.0
Hello chrisme52's,
So after much searching I found a custom rom that fucionou in Brazil. Prime GSM V was 8.0. Worked GSM! There was only one operator in Brazil that does not work at all, Nextel (MNC MCC724 39), this one is roaming and not do anything, nor connections or mobile data. All other work all services.
I installed the rom stock ZV4 then updated to ZV8 and along with root and installed TWRP V 8.0. The rom so far it has worked perfectly. My only complaint is that every time we turn off and turn on the device, it loses one time had as if you were updating Android. Apart from that all ok.
I hope you can also
I found this forum right here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-primegsm-teamsprg3-t3132906
Thanks @ ki11aprime :good:
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
The PrimeGSM rom works for me also
I had to install TWRP with Autorec for recovery to work
Cool
How nice! I'm glad you worked !!
Cheers ! :good:
