Rooting ZTE Skate - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello, I've got a brand new ZTE Skate and I would like to root it and even upgrade to newer version of Android (current Android 2.3).
This is the original version, not the one branded from Orange or Medion.
Does anyone know how to root this device?

I'm also looking for a solution to update my V790. Did you have any luck? I couldn't even find a newer ROM for it.

Root ZTE Vital/Supreme?

Hi, I'm extremely new to rooting and android hacking. Recently I tried to root my galaxy S2 4G and ended up hard-bricking the thing. I purchased a new phone from Virgin Mobile (yes, I use virgin) and it's the ZTE Supreme, which is otherwise known as the sprint vital, but this is the virgin version of it. This phone is great, only I am upset that it's only packing android 4.1.2. Is there any method I can use to root this phone and flash a custom OS, or maybe even a newer version of android for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nokia N1 identification and Flashing Taiwan Firmware Help please!

Hi guys,
So i would love to purchase a Nokia N1 but it seems that the Taiwanese version is ultra rare and I really need google play services.
Anyway I have been looking on the forums and its been a long time since I have flashed anything and I am a bit scared about all the horror stories of bricked N1's and the lack of very clear noob guides on how to convert to Tawienese firware and actual have it working without issue.
Can any one tell me if it is worth purchasing the chinese version and will I actually be able to get it play services working or is it too much of a hassle for a noob and still too unstable when flashed?
I also wondered if the packaging label for the taiwan model differs from the chinese model? Is the Taiwanese model manufactured in Shenzhen or in Taiwan?
I have a picture of the label of the one I was going to purchase but I think it may be chinese version....
Any info and help identifying it would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
ship with Android 5.0 can flash Taiwanese version even if it is Chinese version.
I cannot recommend at buying Nokia N1. Device itself is fantastic but I cannot say the same about software. If you get the Chinese version with Android 5.1.1 (very likely) there is no way to downgrade it to previous 5.0 Android version that can be rooted. Without root there is no Google Play. There are some guides how to downgrade 5.1.1 version to 5.0 but you will only brick your device if trying any of those methods. There is almost zero community support for Nokia N1 and because of this I don't believe we are ever going to see a root for newer Android 5.1.1 version.
If you need Google Play (Android device without Google Play is a crap) please do yourself a favor and buy something else like Samsung Galaxy S2 8.0

Thanks for the info. I ended up finding a real nokia N1 on eBay from taiwan with Googleplay services installed, so all good. Don't need root so think I will just update normally through OTA. Should be OK I think. I agree chinese one looks like too much hassle.

HTC ONE M8 software downgrade issues HELP?

Hy i'm new on the forum so i posted thread about software issues. I will be short and clear. Since i bought this magnificent smartphone from one guy i did not know that IR blaster function is not avialbe on the latest android update i'm talking aboud android 6.0. So i downloaded 4.4.4 t-mobile version android for my M8 and i tried to flash my phone to 4.4.4. stock rom but in stage 0/7 of flashing i just went to the 1 of 7 steps and i get error so i just asking why i cannot install the offical stock kit-kat rom whats the problem. The previous owner of HTC says that the phone is bought in T-mobile store and i can approved that because the packaging of my HTC is writing on the box it was the T-Mobile so i don't know its my phone T-mobile version or normal international version.
Sorry for my rusty english hehe
