Hello everyone I have managed to root the ZTE MAX DUO LTE (Z963vl) with KingRoot but the root is not perminate it goes away after you reboot the phone.. I figure that the reason for this is because the bootloader is still locked. I also can not write to /system with lucky patcher which again tells me the bootloader is locked even though the phone is rooted. Does anyone have any way to fix this without a PC? Also I almost forgot to mention that it won't let you update BusyBox either. I waited a very long time for this phone to acquire root but it's almost useless with the bootloader being locked. I can't even flash a recovery like CWM or TWRP. Please help as much as you can thank you.

Okay well ive tried using all of the framaroot and towelroot and just about every other root method. This is a new model GT-I8580. None of those methods of rooting work for this phone. Thank you very much for your reply though. Good to know that someone cares.
Hi, guys
I'm new to XDA so if this is the wrong subforum for this kind of question just tell me where to post it.
So I recently bought a new phone, a Hisense U800 Infinity H6.
I installed an OTA, and then rooted the device using Kingo on windows out of desperation (No other rooting method available).
When I try to do a OTA update now, I get a message in broken chinese-english that says:
"Your phone has been root or by brush! "
It's quite obvious that my rooting the phone revoked ota privileges. I've tried unrooting and it doesnt work, also, there is no recovery available for my device.
Is there a way I can restore this?
Any help would be appreciated.
%%%%%%
Additional Info:
Using Fast boot i was able to determine that the bootloader is unlocked.
Now i don't know if Kingo did this or if it was unlocked by default. I guess i should've checked this first.
BUMP
Or if anyone can tell me how to fix the ringing volume thats not responding to volume down. Either maximum or off.

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Since you have unlocked bootloader there is no way to relock it hence even if you flash stock chances are high system will detect bootloader unlock.
Good Luck!
Hi everyone! So I have a Asus Fone Pad 7 that I would like to root. The bootloader is locked and I need to unlock the bootloader to be able to access root privileges. I've ran basically all the "easy root" programs, King Root, One Click, Framaroot , towel root, etc including Zenfone root kit. I've done so much reading and either im doing something wrong with the process (which I don't believe I am, considering I've gained root access with my Galaxy Grand Prime) or its just impossible? Which I don't believe it is, possibly because the popularity of the phone it may not be out there the way it is for other phones? I read Asus provided root access but when you call Customer Service all they said is that they 'provided' a bootloader unclocker, which is a toolkit. And at that they deny it unless you mention you read they do then they will continue to help you. I think it also depends on the representative? I spoke with 1 guy and he was in the process of providing the toolkit until my phone lost service. Everyone else I've spoken to says the don't recommend it and can't help me and remind me it'll void my warranty. Im lost and confused but I know it is possible! So if anyone would happen to know how or could help me figure out how to unlock the bootloader I would greatly appreciate it! That's the only thing I need. On my developer options it doesn't give me the option to unlock the bootloader like it does in my Galaxy Grand a prime when I'm in developer mode

Lets work on getting a dedicated device thread for our phone first. Then find some devs to work on it. I just bought 2. Z988 from Cricket. I have paypal donations available for interested devs to pick this phone up
Any devs out there?
Mostly to root android m we need modified kernel.wait till some devs do it.

Im goin to check into thiss. Some one else was able to gain temp root using dr wondershare data recovery program. So i tried and also was able to gain very temp root. Of coarse kingroot kingo and all the others have failed. Once we get root i will find many more things we can do such as xposed. Twrp if there is a bootloader unlock or bypass. workaround.
Just sucks i need root to nuke recovery or laf partitions to get to fastboot to attempt bl unlock. Have u been sucsessful in getting to fastboot in any way
using various button combos i was able to get into several different "Scenarios" with several different drivers kicking in according to my device manager. i gave up on this phone. If we could somehow install Supersu while we have temp root that would be great. maybe write s script and run it while drhone is doing its thing, i dont know?

New to forum, I have tried everything to root grand x max 2 with no luck. Really like this phone, but would like better rooted!! So I will continue working on this also.
Well sorry to say, but rooting this is way off down the road. Without unlocking the bootloader, and no that oem unlock does not unlock it, its just the first step to unlocking the bootloader. And seeing as that Cricket has been removing fastboot from their newly released phones we have a real struggle on our hands. I also have the lg stylo 2 from Cricket, and not only did they remove fastboot, they removed the entire bootloader. And without fastboot unlock, that bootloader is useless right now, need another way around. But from what i have read, FTM mode does have a form of fastboot built into it if anyone can figure out how to use. Has anyone had the nerve to take it apart and look for the Uart pinouts, if thats on the mother board thats our way in, Uart means instant rom dump and flash, hacker 101....

welcome to xda. in order for your phone to be unlocked, you have to unlock your bootloader.
has that been done yet? if not, do you know what that is?

To root a device's Android it's NOT required that device's bootloader gets unlocked.

is that so? i always needed to unlock my bootloader in order to flash roms and magisk. but i know a lot has changed recently. maybe there's some exploit that allows you to root without needing to flash anything. hopefully you're not talking those suspicious apps like kingroot or whatever.
Take note that Android OS is rooted when SU binary is present within it. Android OS has NOTHING to do with device's bootloader ( what is comparable to BIOS of a Windows PC ).
