ZTE (AT&T) Avail 2 [Z992]

Looking for any information anyone may have for rooting this device.
Android 4.1.1 JellyBean. I've tried motochopper, previous avail methods and a few other JB specific attemps. All of which have failed, fortunately, I'm not-yet bricked.
Motochopper fails at executing the binary /data/local/tmp/pwn, giving a bus error -after- the script stops on a signal.
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ /data/local/tmp/pwn
/data/local/tmp/pwn
[+] This may take a few minutes.
[1] + Stopped (signal) /data/local/tmp/pwn
[email protected]:/ $ exit
exit
[1] + Bus error /data/local/tmp/pwn

I am on board with this as well

**BUMP** on this. This is an inexpensive decent Android phone. The camera is the only drawback but everything else is fairly decent. I am going to start looking into this, because being able to root and mod a cheap phone to have as a ready back up is essential.

Cydia Impactor. It's a one-click master-key exploit.

Wow... I can't believe this is the first time I'm hearing of this. Does the trick and then some. Looks like it's time to learn how to port since nobody seems to be taking the reigns on this one. Wish me luck!!!

Can anyone tell me where to find stock rom for avail 2 and how to flash it...
I rooted the phone but changing font made phone un-bootable...
I was wondering how to recover it ... I can access FTE mode and stock recovery but no ADB....
So far i had no luck finding stock firmware or any means on how to flash the phone

Bought this great little phone as backup to my attic which I will never part with. Have found that it is wonderful for the price. I don't use camera on any phone so that's never an issue. This phone is a quiet little secret. But impaired as more are sold its secrets will be released.

How by using Cydia Impactor helped you root the Z992? I have it as well, but have no idea how to root from start to finish in DOS(?) Then, after that, Is there a basic custom ROM that is easily attainable for use with detailed instructions?
I am fairly new to all this but been trying for about 2 years. I just never knew how to add a custom ROM or have a reliable RECOVERY after rooting, I am still unsure why I try to begin with, I guess to have a cooler phone, but its complicated, I read the threads, and there are so many terms not being throughly put to instruction decriptions. Bare with me, I am very articulate....
Can someone help me understand, even with some links to basic knowledge and full detail on what rooting, roming, and recoverying or maybe even unlocking a phone - Z992 to be in particular at the moment. thanks - helping words help others learn. Peace til next time..

Anyone know of any other rom besides the z993 for this budget phone?

THIS IS FOR WINDOWS AS I ONLY USE WINDOWS.
Cydia impactor works like a charm I have had success in rooting my z992, my fiance's z992 and my alps momo 9 3G tablet (Chinese tablet). Details on how to root using Cudi's impactor:
Download cydia impactor (just google it)
Enable USB debugging and connect to PC as media device
Plug in phone now on and unlocked
Open cydia impactor (it should say "# Drop SU.... ")
Press start or go
Wait for it to go back to where it says "# Drop SU...."
Unplug your phone (no longer need pc)
Then download superuser
Open app and scroll left to right and update su binary by clicking where it says SUPERSU 1.6.1... THEN CLICK update
Download busybox by stericson
Open busybox click install at bottom left
After completion manage apps in your phones settings menu and delete busybox. You now have root access! Enjoy.
Information on rooting, unlocking, roming, and recovering... :
Rooting will give you access to system files and functions that basic users cannot access. Like deleting apps that came preinstalled with the phone and take up a bunch of space.
Unlocking: allows you to use a different carriers service on your phone for example using straight talk in att or T-Mobile phones using their byop program sum card service.
Roming: means you can install a different Android based operating system on your phone. For example Android 2.3.4 of a att Samsung galaxy s2 on your phone instead of Android 4.1.1 or Android 4.1.2 on att avail 2.
Recovery means you have access to install any type of zip file to your phone through clockworkmod, twrp, or cynagen mod recovery to make system changes on your phone.
Did I answer all of your questions or do you need more understanding of the terms? Glad to help you!!!

There is not another rom that works on this phone because ZTE put a block on the system CPU and I recommend not trying to find another rom as you will most likely end up not having a working phone

i did all of this with no errors and everything on my phone is still normal. all i really need is the network unlock code but im sure of how to get it without waiting on at&t for 3-5 days. god i hope im in the right thread.

there is only one way of unlocking this device and unfortunately that is to call att or use the device unlock portal on their website...neither of them helped me because we are required to wait for 6 months after purchasing this device...and for this phone the manufacturer and att have a strict agreement not to allow an unlock of this phone weather you call att or use the website it will give you the same error: "The information provided does not match the information on the account." if you do manage to get it unlocked please make another post as i need mine unlocked also. i have 2 of these that need to be unlocked.

Hi, I am using this phone until I get my Blu Dash 4.5 back from repair. It is still locked to at&t and I am using it on Straight Talk with all updated apn settings. Does anyone know if there is a way to tether the data to other phones and/or computers? This would be really helpful. I am fully rooted but i do not have a custom recovery installed as it will not allow me to view/edit my files on my pc via data cable and that is something I need. Also if someone has a custom recovery (i.e.: cwm, twrp, cm...) that works flawlessly with this phone (at least allow me to connect to pc) or knows where i can get one it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

I got it to work with "WiFi Tether For Root Users"
Its free on the play store
by Müller, Lemons, Buxton Corporation
In WiFi Settings
Set "Change Device-Profile" to Gerneric ICS/JB(wlan0)
Set "Change Setup-Method" to Netd-Ndc(master)
Scroll down to LAN Settings
Enable MSS clamping
and
Enable Routing fix
That will enable tethering to work.

Stock S6 Edge ODIN flashable firmware?

Does anyone have a stock firmware of their S6 Edge T-Moible? that's ODIN flashable. I bricked my S6 trying to root it and had the KNOX security on. Now it just boot loop.

Jjgh

Refer to this how-to article and read the 'Note' that is posted.

Did you try and flash the S6 file (non-edge file) to root your phone? For many that corrects what looks to be a bricked phone.

I did the same thing the OP had done, referring to enabling KNOX prior to rooting, and none of anyone's suggestions through the past multiple days have worked. Enabling "KNOX" under the "Security"
settings is a big no-no, or so it seems from the few that have done it. Might be worth somebody making a thread just letting people know NOT to do that if they don't wish for an expensive brick until a stock ODIN tar surfaces. It makes the phone bootloop and useless even when using the regular S6 autoroot tar. It's also interesting how nobody answered the OP's actually question, though. "Is there an actual stock ODIN tar for this phone yet?" I would like to know the same, even though my own research has come up negatory thus far. Focus on the dude's question rather than waste time with other suggestion(s) which they likely already know haven't worked.

Thank You soooooooo much. that actually worked. thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you all for this. I would also like to know if this deletes all the user data/apps/contacts as well? I'm trying to restore the phone to stock so I can return it but as others have said with the root performed I am unable to hard reset/restore to factory so I am looking for a work around. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it deletes all user data, but the phone will have root.

So when rooting a T-Mo Edge first time, we should use the std S6 (SM-G920T) autoroot file, and not the file listed for the edge?

yes you use the G920T but that will mess up your recovery, so be aware.

After using galaxy s6 cf auto root file restore your recovery by following this:

I want to thank you for at least getting me back to a recovery mode screen that is readable and starts with the normal icon, that says updating system. I still need to wait for the stock SM-G925T firmware file for the S6 Edge to get back to a working phone. Deleting knox files as I stated in a few threads here is a big no no for now. Just get that bootloop on startup and this has nothing to do with rooting. Is the deleted files. Samsung support confirmed this too. I did try the factory reset which basically wiped the phone of info, which is no big deal. Plenty of backups. Just need the darn tar file for this model. I'm sure it will be out soon.
BTW, I was having issues getting on to any web link site Sammobile.

ok...doing video. asks for my serial number. It's not the IME. Can't get to about phone settings. Tmobile has no clue how to find my serial number. Calling Samsung if they can match my IME. Maybe you can pm me a number for the Edge.

I want to publically thank you for your superb and timely help. What's funny is I'm on a MAC desktop and the Kies Mac version would not connect to my phone even though I have the drivers already on the computer. I use Parallels to boot to a Windows 8 virtual setup. Kies gave me the unsupported device message I think, but after going to the tools menu and following the instructions on the video, all went well. The only nit pick is I believe the Kies program called it the recovery mode to boot into, but they used the correct button combo to actually be in download mode for this to work.
Anyways....much thanks and for all those waiting for stock firmware for the Edge to magically appear, which I'm sure it will eventually, this method works. Word of advice to all.....go into your settings and about device and write down your serial number since it's required when inputting the model number. TMobile and Samsung incorrectly kept telling me the serial number is the same as the IME. IT'S NOT. And that number is NOT on the box labeling either. So without the serial number of your device KIES won't work for this firmware restore. A simple thank you to the person that know, for helping me with that aspect.

Thank you for this, and thank you for letting others know about the correct serial number used.
For anyone in the same situation, you CAN borrow a serial number from another device to get the download started just as Docmjldds and I did here. I gave him mine, and the download proceeded as normal. After the phone is flashed, it still retains the correct factory serial that came with your phone.

You can also get the serial number from download mode. When you first boot into dl mode and you get the warning page press the home button and the IMEI and SN (serial number) are both there with a bar code.

[Guide] How to get your MSL code

Alright so I was bored and started poking around trying to find a way to get the MSL. Well after a couple hours of trail and error, I got it! Here's how.
You will need: ADB, ADB Drivers, and a rooted device.
Plug your phone into your computer.
Run the following (in CMD) :
1: adb shell
2: su
3: am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
It should open a menu with your MSL at the bottom. Hope this helped!

I was able to find my MSL this way. I'm guessing this only works if you are rooted?

How To Find Your MSL Code
MOD EDIT: Post moved. Please do not create duplicate threads for the same topic in the forum.
Edit: yeah, I wasn't sure if it was 100% working. I made a new post after confirming.
Hey guys, I found a way to get the MSL code for your G920p to edit the DATA menu (##3282# in dialer)
Requirements:
* Rooted S6
* ADB Installed + Drivers
* USB Cable
Steps:
Open CMD / Terminal and run the following:
1. adb shell
2. su
3. am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit
Scroll down to the bottom and you should see "Service Programming Code" this is your MSL.
I hope I helped! If I did, please press the thanks button! I took me awhile to find this! Let me know if you find anything else interesting in this menu.
Also, I wouldn't recommend playing around with the other settings unless you know what you are doing.

thanks,i find my msl using this method

Using idoneapps you can find your msl without rooting. Just downgrade to Lollipop and run the app. Price is roughly $20 to $30 for the app. No avoiding this price unless rooting and using the old idoneapps.

Sadly I can not go back to 5.1.1. samsung locked the bootloader and I am stuck on 6.0.1

Are you sure? I've downgraded mine to Lollipop from Marshmallow. There's certain updates that are locked because the binary level is lower than what's on your device. AOCF doesn't work. Just try the PD2 update.

The pd2 is for idoneapps you have to talk to the guy and pay him. He might settle for $25 $20.
---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------
If the app doesn't give you the msl, you can flash a lower firmware, I'll check which one I have that works and read the log of what the app did after it unlocks your phone. The msl, will more than likely be in the log.

Galaxy S6 Edge + and Note 5 was updated to Nougat. All we're waiting for is the edgeless version of the software to release. Maybe in another week..

what do I put here
Thanks, it worked for me after about three hours of trying to find my MSL or enable tethering, including rooting my phone in the first place. I made an XDA account just to thank you Also, it worked for me typing it in the Terminal emulator on the phone

Call sprint about it. They are supposed to unlock your phone once your contract is up... Do you still have a sprint plan? Your phone needs to be activated in order to do this.

I finally got a hold of a very good sprint customer care this morning and she unlocked the phone right away and my tmobile sim is working. Although I need to research why I can't uninstall sprint call utility or voice mail. I have my phone rooted and using Skyhigh kernal for android nougat. I try dialing 611 to get to tmobile customer care and it reroutes me to sprint.

F.A.Q
Q. What if my IMEI is bad or blacklisted?
A. There are a few times of blacklist... T-Mobile seems to block INTERNAL only if non payment. Others will block if non payment or lost/stolen.
This does not effect SIM unlock, I can do it regardless.... However, you WILL NOT GET NETWORK SIGNAL IF BLOCKED
Check here for T-mobile https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx and also here for all models http://imei24.com/blacklist_check/
If you are not sure ask first!
Q. Can you change/repair my IMEI?
A. HELL NO. This is not only against XDA Rules but it is illegal in most countries, including mine.
Q. Is this really free?
A. Yes, although I do hope for a donation for my time and effort
Q. When are you available?
A. See below.
Q. Can we get on with it all ready?
A. Yes!

I appreciate the unlock you did for me over a year ago, and i personally think its awesome that youre putting this out there for folks to get their phones unlocked mate!! Very nice work sir. Keep it up!! Question for ya tho, the process to unlock something like an S5, it requires a piece of hardware that youre using on your end, correct?

S5 T-Mobile? No idea. I think it's Qualcomm based and all the hardware unlocks are only for Exynos T-Mobile. Hence no support for S7/S8 T-Mobile too

Successfully unlocked my T-mobile s6 edge after i tried for days. Worked like a charm. I love this guy. I offered him sex but he politely declined. Pay this guy for his time!
Edit: Paid! sorry it took 6 hours. errands. and no it was not demanded. donated.

.can you help me unlock s6. From boost. I got hit by a truck and my phone broke. I don't trust people online. But xda always. Boost to mobile. ? Please. Lmk

Hey guys, I just noticed in his original post stifilz mentions there not being a direct unlock for the s7 frmo tmobile but there is a service that does instant usb unlocks on T-Mobile S7 and edge variants. Unfortunately its a paid service and expensive but i have used and know for a fact it works and isnt a server side unlock. If you guys want info just inbox me. I dont want to hijack stifilz thread much other than to say there are definitely hardware/usb unlocks available for T-Mobile S7 variants (ATT and it's S7 active too)

Still offering this guys

This guy is great. It was a struggle because my system was antiquated and my internet is slow, but he managed to GSM unlock my SM-G900P Galaxy S5. I sent a donation.

Im still doing this been very few at the moment :/

Directions Unclear. I've created a black hole, and we're all screwed.
Forgive me, if I'm being particularly dense, but I'm a little unclear about this whole process. Is this Flexihub business mission critical? Or is it just one of the available options. The reason I'm asking is that I can't easily get access to a PC. Is this a deal breaker, or is an alternative available? As far as I can determine, access to a PC is the only qualification that I'm lacking.
Thanks for the effort you must be putting into providing such a generous service

Right... So that means that a PC shouldn't be required on the other end, right? Since it's the mobile device you'd ostensibly be tinkering with?

Okay, I've done some further reading. It makes sense. Guess I'll just have to surilvive without unlocking.

I'm having a problem, in the settings of my s6 edge the phone model is sm-g925f but the baseband is G925TUVU4 it means the phone is a t-mobile phone and now I want to flash the latest nougat firmware of t-mobile and I want to know if I do so will it lock my phone and I won't be able to use another sim card?

Hey, Are you available still?

Bump.
Still doing this.

Unlocked phone locked to Verizon APN. How can I force my carrier APN, Bluegrass?

I'm not able to use some data services, most importantly MMS. This was an issue on my last phone, also (LG G6.) However, if I inserted an AT&T sim card and added my carriers APN settings, then inserted my carrier sim, the settings would stick. I recall doing this before the Android 10 update on this device (Pixel 2 XL) and it worked, but now nothing seems to.
I've tried rooting the phone as well, unsuccessfully. I've followed a guide here on XDA and the procedure would simply fail, even when all steps were followed meticulously. I'm not new to rooting, so needless to say I got very annoyed because I had to factory reset the device, which was a pain to have to set up again...
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. This isn't isolated to just me, on the Google forums as well as Reddit, many others have this problem. Thanks guys.

I'm not sure what guide you used to root, but Android 10 requires a different root method than what you'd normally use on 9. You should get the 7.4.1 magisk manager apk and install it on your phone then use it to patch a boot image which you'll then flash to your phone with fastboot. Also, make sure you have the latest sdk platform tools, fastboot.
When you tried to add an apn did you got to the three dot for menu under APNs?

Hey, thanks so much for replying. This is the root guide I followed.
But the issue I had was "OEM unlocking" was disabled and grayed out. At no point could I toggle it. And that isn't including all the problems I had trying to get ADB to detect my phone while connected to my computer, even with all drivers updated and debugging enabled.
Yes I have tried the menu up top. The only option there is "reset to default"
Here are some screenshots

If oem unlock is greyed out its most likely a Verizon phone and cannot be rooted. Unless something has changed

So, is there no way to edit a locked Verizon APN without root?

You can only edit the APN if you have a GSM SIM inserted such as from AT&T or T-Mobile. Android automatically hides the APN settings when a Verizon SIM is inserted, as Verizon is not a GSM-based carrier and configures the device settings automatically using the network. You need to find out if Bluegrass has AT&T or T-Mobile-compatible SIM cards you can use in the device. Those SIM cards should allow you to edit the APN.
If OEM Unlocking is grayed out, you have a Verizon device and you cannot unlock the bootloader. Using the device on other carriers however is still possible as Verizon does not SIM lock devices.
