I have been dying to get into rooting for a while now, and I figured that the low-cost ZTE Blade 10 prime would be a great first device to root. It seems I was mistaken as I have been unable to find a guide for my device. I am also a complete noob, so maybe I have been missing something? I also need to be sure that I can return my phone to its pre-rooted state as it is my daily carry and I cannot afford to have it bricked.
I realize rooting is inherently dangerous to the device, but is there a safe way I can root the device and have the ability to recover it if I screw up?
All advice is greatly appreciated.

Well unfortunately you'll have to take the risk to screw up your device if you wanna root.
And I'm not sure if you'll be able to unroot properly after you rooted.
But hey, you're free to give it a try: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/zte-blade-10-prime-root-t4092479/
i know its old but you can unlock the bootloader and root with magisk via rom2box.

From what I have read, the answer is no but I have some more questions so I guess Id ask anyway.
Transformer was very expensive and I have more than a year of warranty left. On the other hand I would very much like some of the features that require root. What action is possible to roll back? Unlocking, rooting or flashing a custom rom? I need to unlock the device before I can root it right?
I would use a number of features that rooting allows, but my main desire is to be able to use keyboard dock and mouse or even a gamepad as game controllers. Only program that can do that (joy2touch) requires root. But if I had root I guess I would try Cyanogenmod too because I can only see people praising it for how greatly it improves experience.
Also, there is lots of information around here but its still not dumb enough for someone who just wants to root a device but has no idea where to start (its pretty confusing). So sorry in advance for possibly asking obvious questions.

If you just want root to use joy2touch, then your warranty is still good. If you unlock your device, then your warranty is voided... you can find more information about unlock and root here.

Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
Yes but, there is rooting for either unlocked devices or devices running ICS or lower. And whatever rooting for JB I found (im running newest OTA) is only for unlocked devices as well. As I understand it, rooting does not void the warranty but unlocking does? Does that mean im screwed? I dont even know the difference between unlocking and rooting...

A rooting is allowed you to access your system files so you can modify them as will. A unlocking is allowed you to install custom rom and recovery. Someone else may have a better explaination for you.
No, you still can root your device if you have a bootloader .8 or earlier. If you have the latest bootloader, you can downgrade and root it..

Rooting exploits a bug in the kernel, not in the bootloader, so it's the ROM/kernel build 10.6.1.14.8, not the bootloader build. But it's always the same on locked devices anyway.
Uhm... you are confusing me even more. So is there a rooting guide that doesnt involve unlocking, can be reverted or doesnt void warranty, and works with newest stock OTA?
To my knowledge I dont have any kind of bootloader.

Thanks _that. What I meant is the latest firmware from Asus.
@3DeX
1. Download the Asus firmware 10.6.1.14.8
2. Backup your personal data and everything that you like to keep to your computer or your external SD.
3. Make sure that your battery is full so it is not shutdown during the installing process..
4. Unzip it once because there is another zip file insde it.
5. Copy the second zip file to the root directory of your internal SD.
6. Reboot your tablet.
7. After reboot, you will see the downgrade notification in the lower right corner.
8. Click on the downgrade notification and follow the instructions.
9. During the installing process, Do not try to turn it off. It will reboot by itself when the installation is completed. It may take 2 to 3 minutes..
10. Use motochopper to root your device.
Good luck..
I bought a new phone from Cricket with whom I've been with for 10 years. Unbeknownst to me this device has a patched kernel, which I have no idea what that means only that nobody seems to be able to root it. I only want root, no custom roms, just root. Please help, there has to be some way to do it. Without root this device is useless as I only have the bloatware and am already getting "out of space" warnings. No root, no phone, simple as that. I will just sell it. I find it hard to believe that there is no way to do it and that these carriers keep trying to keep us from accessing equipment that is rightfully ours upon purchase. It's ridiculous. Thanks for any info, help, advice, etc.
Unfortunately I was unable to find anything for your device. You can register if you wish and ask your question here . Someone might be able to help. Just keep in mind that not all devices are supported out here, nor are there root methods for every device.
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

Same here with version CPH1909....
Same here.
Don't care if I brick it but would like to root it.
Root Oppo AX5s
Someone needs to root this
Yeah I'm also interested I've just tryed random stuff so far. Non of the one click roots work. Well superoneclick they said they can do it but you have to pay.
I have the CPH1920
If I find anything to go with or discover anying I'll let you guys no.
I have a tech background but not in rooting phones. Like I use them not designe them ahaha
Edit- I have read there is a way to flash a stock room on them and use it to root the phone. I can't find any ROMs nor can I find a way to extract this one.
Hey has anyone been able to do anything with this god damn phone?
Still trying to unlock bootloader/root for this impossible phone, i do actually have a firehose file for it
I have an LG Stylo 5X model LM-Q720TS and have had problems finding information on unlocking the bootloader. This will be the first root I have never rooted a phone before and really want to do this to my phone just to customize it and make it more secure. I also wanted to install pen testing software on it as well.
Anyway does anyone know of a site that can help me with the logistics of getting it done? I already have a full course on rooting android phones from Udemy and it was very informative on how to do it. I just don't have information on unlocking the bootloader for my phone I am sure I can get twrp for my phone if I can get it unlocked. So please if anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Also, any links that lead me to useful software that can help facilitate this process would be great. I don't want to do this using on click rooting apps I want to do this manually this is a learning experience for e as well and I want to get good at this.
