Hey huwaw69,
I think there is no way around rooting and flashing another ROM.
Please follow these Instructions:

What do you mean by: I think there is no way around rooting and flashing another ROM.

I Used z4root to Root the phone but the option i choosed was the temporary.
Now what? what is gonna happen? how am i gonna acecss something?

Hey huwaw69,
now you can install ROM Manager and ClockworkMod to flash a new ROM
good luck,
greetings,
KanocX

Hey huwaw69
I didn't have that problem, but it looks like you have the same model of phone that I have. I bought my phone second hand, and it had a few troubles with it's configuration which I manages to sort our by doing a factory reset and sifting through all the settings for both my phone and for my network.
However, the best thing I've done so far for my phone (and my sanity) was to install a custom rom on my phone (just like KanocX suggested). Before you do anything though, BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM... i.e.all your contacts and messages and such (which you can do with a free app like Titanium Backup... but if you can't access Android Market, I'm not sure how you can get it).
Just so you know, I'm no expert with the current generation of phones, but after some careful reading on this forum in the x10 Mini Pro Q & A section, all in all after a coupla hours my phone was better than ever, and bug/crash/freeze free.
Again, I'm no expert, but installing a custom rom I'd say is the way to go

[Q] How do I root ZTE T760

Hi,
I just bought a ZTE T760 just recently and was wondering if there was anything I can do to make any modifications with it? I was hoping to at least be able to root it, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find too much except the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257
Which seems promising but I can't find a clock work mod for my device, and I'm a little worried in just testing that out since it seems more particular to ZTE blades. Do you think it will be okay to test out?
And I was wondering if there is any good roms out there as well? I tried googling but it came up with one that didn't really seem to stable?
Its also locked onto boost mobile, so I would like to unlock it too but, thats not super important, and from googling in that, it seems paying for an unlock is the best way to go (plus I'm not too sure about the legality of unlocking myself?)

Hi guys, just an update, I got Kingo Android ROOT online and it did everything for me!! It downloaded the driver, ran scripts and rooted, and actually looks kinda nice. Try at your own risk, but worked for me

Excellent news.
Did you end up finding a suitable ROM? I have received a T760 that I have been asked to root and put a custom ROM onto, yet to root it but I will do this tonight... but that leaves me with finding a ROM for it.

Hi, definitely good news, the biggest problem I have though, is I haven't been able to get Rom Manager installed in the boot thing, which meant I haven't been able to try any roms of which I haven't been able to find unfortunately.
You might have better luck at it though.
so Good luck

Will let you know how I go

Kinda new to all this but I cant find a way to root my zte z787. Couldn't find anything on CWM RECOVERY OR TWRP. Can I use one from a similar device with same specs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, no you do not need a custom kernel to root, however using a custom kernel can provide benefits such as better performance/battery life and added features like superior audio controls etc. A notable kernel for the Galaxy series is the "Siyah Kernel" but it's up to you, personaly I choose not to after issues in past like higher temps
Odin is the tool used to flash software to your device, this is used to flash custom recoveries, kernels and the stock firmware
Superuser is the app used to control permissions to each individual app on your rooted phone, this prevents apps gaining root that you would prefer not to.
Finally, I have rooted an S2 back when I started out with devices. It's fairly painless and has many benefits but I prefer custom ROMs as well as rooting
Hope I could help, however these answers were available elsewhere after looking for a while which is suggested before posting to avoid duplicates when possible

How I can root my smartphone? Is that the best choice?

Hello xda-developers!
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Core Plus SM-G350, I thinking about rooting my smartphone with a new Android release, without Samsung's applications. Can this be done? Is this the right solution? How I can do this? I don't want any updates locking!
Thank you!

Hi, from your post I don't quite understand. Do you want to be able to update OTA after you've rooted your device or do you just want to find the best method of rooting?
The best method I would recommend would be flashing a custom recovery to your device via Odin then through the custom recovery flashing SuperSU.
And for the updating bit, every phone I have had has had to be unrooted before an OTA upgrade as not unrooting/returning to stock can cause complications and/or bricking the device

I think that the best way to go about it is to find an application called Poot. Funny name, great results. It will tell you to install another app and then it will ask you if you want to install additional libraries.
I recommend that you connect to WiFi for this.
There is a website called Cyanogenmod. Go there and search for ROMs for your phone, and if you can't, search XDA/
Rule of XDA: If it exists, there's a custom ROM for it.
Hope this helps! Don't forget to use the Thanks button!

In many ways, yes, and also no.
If you can find a ROM to do loaed up onto it (be careful if you do) you can probably overclock it to about 1.4-1.6 Ghz. However, that decreases the battery life. Another thing you can do with a custom kernel is underclocking, which lowers the power usiage if you're just listening to music and whatever.
Do some research. See if there are custo ROMs for the device. I have an old LG Phoenix that I have CyanogenMod 10 loaded up. It has some issues, but modding is great. Plus, with root, you can back up all of you apps and their data to your sdcard. You can also remove bloatware (pre-installed useless apps) and make sytem apps into user apps with Link2SD.
You can do a lot with root, but it voids your warranty and can potentially damage your phone. Be cautious and don't forget to use the Thanks Button!

@lollix01
If this is still valid, there are now a few Custom ROMs and Recoveries here that work on the Samsung Galaxy Core Plus.

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.
Regards.
EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

About the play services thing, you can't do anything except flashing a custom ROM without gapps (if you wanna uninstall play services). About the problem you mentioned that you cannot root or install custom ROM, what exactly is the issue? Please exaggerate the problem. Good luck!

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.
Thanks

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

I have many questions with this bootloader. I'm new to this things. Sorry. Btw I have the J700F J7(2015) model.
1. Is there any way to know if my phone is in locked bootloader or unlocked?
2. I'm planning to install the Pixel Experience rom and I've read that i must unlock the bootloader first. I know that I must be from stock rom. Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.

Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow
