[ROOT] ZTE MD Smart (this method is not working)

If you need to root your device go here
Finally, after two weeks of sleepless nights I managed to get administrator privileges on the ZTE Smart MD. To achieve this I used two scripts. In an effort to make things simple I have integrated them in "superoneclick".
STEPS:
1) Install usb drivers, try these
2) Download the Superuser app from the google play and install.
3) Download "SuperOneClickv2.3.3-For_ZTE_MD_Smart" and extract it
4) Run SuperOneClick, choose "rageagainstthecage-arm5" exploit and try to root!
5) If it doesn't works try to choose "exploid2-arm5" first try to root and then without removing the phone from the usb choose "rageagainstthecage-arm5" script and try again.
This is my lucky result:

Yes! I sold my phone in september and I stopped to working on it, but last week I bought another one and I started again to work on it! :victory:
Now I have ported twrp and cwm recovery and I'm starting to build the first custom rom for it. Unfortunally my backup doesn't work so I can't recover my phone with it....
I need a help, can someone send me a copy of the whole system folder? with the system folde I will recover my phone and I will cook the first custom rooted rom for this device! :good:
edit: now I have the system folder and I'm working to cook a stock rooted rom

finally I succeeded, I got the root! I have also created the first recovery and the first rom for this device. You can find all here!

I don't think that would work, just flash a 5.1 FTF again and see what happens.

What does it say in rooting status under configuration.

@ogunja do you know how to restore .ta backup created automatically by the flashtool before the flash process?

No idea, the first thing I do on every Xperia I root is take backup with BackupTA, never used flashtool to manage backups like that

Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
Download:
See " Attached Files"
Install:
Download zip file from above
Unzip the file
Download and install SP Flash Tools
Run SP Flash Tools and load scatter (Use the 'Modded' scatter if you want to install this recovery on a enlarged system partition.)
Press first the 'Download' button, before you connect the device with your pc
Reboot device
Remarks:
It is not possible to boot into recovery by holding some specific keys. You need to use ADB with the command: "adb reboot recovery".

I have no idea why it doens't work by you. Could you maybe give me a last_ksmg after you booted into the recovery?

how can i fix it ?

Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?

What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.

How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??

Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.

this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.

Question Root access

Are we able to root and have magisk?

Definitely yes! Once you get familiar with the procedure, it's quite simple actually.
The hardest part is getting your device's bootloader unlocked.
Once you have the bootloader unlocked, follow instructions in this article.
Good luck and have fun!

Have you personally tested this?

Of course!
Though I don't flash the magisk patched boot image, I fastboot boot it, like described in step 3B in that article.
After rebooting, direct install magisk in the magisk manager, and reboot again, done, your device is officially rooted.

Maybe the problem is the minimal adb setup, try full version from google official site.

Or there is incompatible issue with you usb port or cable, try another one.

I really like this but can't use root

Hi! It was just the cable, instead of using the orignal cable I used another and everything worked!
