I was trying to unlock the bootloader in my Atrix but I can't seem to get the fastboot to work.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. The adb works perfectly and when I run the fastboot command it gives me the list of syntax for it but when I try "./fastboot devices" it doesn't return anything. If I use sudo then it goes down to a new line and freezes. I'm assuming I need to edit something in rules.d but I don’t know how to get the proper information.
Any help would be great.

is your phone in fastboot mode? adb reboot fastboot
If it freezes at devices it can't see you phone. Make sure your phone says it started fastboot. Hold volume down while booting. When it says fastboot on the phone press volume up.

Well I tried running the unlock in fastboot mode last night.
./fastboot oem unlock
Waiting for devices.
That was as far as I got. My phone was in fastboot mode but it just wouldn't recognize it. I saw some other posts about it saying things about adding to rules.d but I need the right information for my phone.

Please help me

At prompt, can you see your device with "adb devices" command? USB Debugging is active?
Yeah i can se my device on command prompt, my usb debugging is active. But if i go to "adb reboot bootloader", it takes me to usb logo.
I can't go to bootloader/droidboot/fastboot interface, i just can go to recovery mode

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading the forums for several days and believe that I am completely stuck. My son rooted his KFHDX 7" and was messing with different apks. It was still working at this point.
He thought it was running slow so he put it into recovery mode (power and volume up) and chose to reset it back to factory settings. Now it just boots to the Gray Kindle Fire bootup screen. Now the ADB is not enabled, he lost his root, and the device is locked.
When I plug the device into my computer (Windows 7) it won't even recognize it. Instead it gives me MTP Devices with error. I have loaded all of the device drives and Android SDK with no luck.
The only adb functions that appear to work are:
adb devices -------> This only gives me the generic serial# 01234569789ABCDE
adb reboot -------> This will reboot the kindle but it won't go past the gray logo
adb reboot-bootloader -------> This will put me into fastboot mode
adb kill-server
adb start-server -------> This will restart the ports but has not affect on the other commands
In fastboot mode I am to access all of the normal commands:
fastboot devices -------> This only gives me my actual serial#
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem unlock -------> It says it is unlocked but it is still locked
fastboot oem lock
However I can't use the following commands since it says my device is locked:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem device-info
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img
I tried the 1-Click automated file and it got me all the way through until it asked me to enable the ADB debugging which I couldn't do since I am stuck at the boot screen. And I can't use a tool kit to fix it since I can't downgrade to a lower release.
Therefore I can not unlock my bootloader without downgrading which is impossible without a working system and functioning recovery. I can't root my devices without ADB enabled. And I can not flash a new working ROM due to the locked bootloader. Did I miss anything or is there still something I can do?
Please help, I am trying to get this working before Christmas.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no known recovery from this type of failure. I don't say that casually and wish there was a solution. The symptoms you report are both common and tell tale. The device is bricked.
I just replaced the motherboard on my hdx 8.9
It worked, I had to order a daughterboard also.
Total cost around $50 from where I got them.
Worth looking into. Watch teardown videos on YouTube and get the right tools.

Since fastboot appears to respond as expected on your device,
I'd be **very** interested in testing my long-standing theory
that 'fastboot update' __might__ work even on locked devices.
The "gotcha" is that we'd need to prepare the right package for
your Kindle. So, I gather it's an HDX 7" (3rd Gen?), i.e. "thor" model.
Do you remember what version of Fire OS you had installed?
Iv'e been looking around for a root for my device and I can't seem to find a root. Is there even a root for it yet?
Guys come on. Its been almost 4 months now and still no root. I just want to delete all the bloat ware off my device so that I can use it more.
Well I guess there isn't a root for my device. If anyone needs to root this device your out of luck.
Perfectly fine Android build per se; you want to change what?
You were joking, right? Going into the about/device and tapping on the kernel version lets you pick a ROM from microSD.
One supposes that you would use adb to make verify all your build assumptions are OK, grab Android developer kit and blobs on your development box of choice, and build your new improved ROM. Boot to glamour-shot portfolio FTW.
Separately, Internet reports are that Kingroot.net works, at least from the Windows side (perhaps after a little name tweaking from that side of adb resource names; see the perfectly serviceable P10A7100 note on Reddit. On the Android side I'm still looking at a spinner and '01%' root acquisition progress. But then I should give Kaspersky and Malwarebytes the day off while this is going on, right?
Hello,
New to the adb thing. I want to say first off, that this tablet has to be the worst POS I have even had. Its has 32 gb of memory but I can only use 6 of it for apps before it slows to a complete useless doorstop. Could anyone reccomend a good rom image?
I have the same issues. Can't believe they would sell such a POS! That's Best Buy a crap store that used to be one of the best.
Insignia NSP10A7100 rooting
Any luck finding more info on root for this device? I've only tried kingroot so far from the apk but no luck. Also trying to find more info on how to root manually (without a script) or how to write my own script? I've enabled developer options, enabled bootloader unlocking. I can run adb from my ubuntu box but adb reboot bootloader just reboots? I see the option when tapping kernal to update a .zip file but what file? I haven't seen any roms or recovery's for this device. Any help is appreciated!

I was playing around with adb and fastboot tonight and did learn a few things. I had to use "sudo fastboot flashing unlock" to get the bootloader unlocked. Whatever that switch is in developer options to unlock did not seem to unlock anything. I did a getvar all and the output showed it as locked. sudo fastboot with no options gave me the list of commands to use. After reboot there was a screen that warned about the bootloader being unlocked and that it was not safe. I thought it was going to be stuck there but it did finally reboot into a fresh system. I've got files with the output of getvar all and bugreport if any of that info would help anyone with the rooting. If anyone can point me to more research I'll continue to play with this.

I just got one and trying to access fastboot. I have model p10a7100. When I pick fastboot from recovery mode, I momentarily get resting android with "no command" and get recovery mode again. Because of low ram, I would like root access to install magisk for modules. Please explain your unlock method.

I have had no success trying to get root access. I only got the bootloader unlocked. I used adb to reboot into fastboot mode.

Teach us your adb method. I have tried everything and it won't enter fastboot mode. If I type adb reboot fastboot, it just bypasses fastboot and boots up the tablet to android.
Update: I entered the adb command adb reboot fastboot and I get a giant green screen with a walking android robot in the center. Then I lose contact with the tablet. Never saw that before.

That is what I did also although I used "sudo adb reboot fastboot". Still not sure if the sudo is required? The giant green screen means you are in fastboot mode now. Type "fastboot" at the terminal to see a list of commands. The one I used to unlock was "sudo fastboot flashing unlock_critical". Type "sudo fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" to find out if you are able to unlock the bootloader. This is as far as I got. Apparently I could now flash an image if I could find one that would be compatible. If you get any further or find one let me know.

Are you on Windows? I'm on Ubuntu. Not sure what would cause that. Maybe someone out there with more knowledge will chime in. Good luck.
Here is a link to a temp cwm recovery and root instructions for a nuvision 8 inch tablet. According to the post it might work on other intel based tablets. Disclaimer: You may brick your device. I still can't establish an adb connection to test this. I have adb with the tablet booted. I lose it in fastboot or recovery. I was able to unbrick my nuvision after 2 years of waiting for a method.

I was wondering if it might be a driver problem. You could try Virtual Box and run Ubuntu that way. I may try that cwm down the road. Thanks for the info.

Hello,
I have a Straight Talk ZTE Majesty Pro LTE [Z799VL]. It runs Android 6.0.1. This phone occasionally installs apps and has an annoying app called AppFinder. I have tried to root this phone with KingoRoot and KingRoot. So, I need help figuring out if this thing is even rootable. I would get a more accessible phone, but I'm short on money. I know this is short on information, but I'd be willing to help in any way I can.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Boop.
I'm fairly certain this phone was released recently. Maybe it's just too soon.
I have this same phone and am having the same problem finding info on how to root it. Keeping a hopeful eye on this thread
Any news for ZTE Majesty PRO unlock?
My friend just brought it from USA to Europe and he want to use it in normal way

The OP is running Android 6 but I have the Straight Talk boxed ZTE Majesty Pro and it runs 7.1.1 out of the box.
There is a thread called Universal Method with a file and instructions but my Android device is the only PC I own so I haven't given it a try. The post has a Windows and a Linux method.

Have you unlocked the bootloader?
I recently upgraded to an Android 7.1.1 ZTE Majesty™ Pro Plus LTE (Z899VL) from TracFone,, and was rather dismayed to find out that it has an unremovable Facebook app (among other rubbish that I don't want/don't use).
I've never rooted a device before, and I know that this thread's a little old, but would anyone be willing to post a very-newbie-friendly step-by-step tutorial/walkthrough for rooting this phone (assuming it's possible)?
I have Developer Options enabled, and I can easily unlock the bootloader if that's required. I just want to get rid of these useless (for me) System Apps.
Oh, also: I don't have Linux, so… if it's possible, perhaps the rooting method could work using a Windows 7 PC?
need fastboot to unlock the bootloader. to the best of my knowledge, which aint much. but i can not find access to any kind of dl mode let alone fastboot.

Well, I finally managed to get my 899VL (it's not a 799VL as I'd thought — sorry) to show up as an ADB device; it accepts commands from the ADB program… except that when I execute "adb reboot bootloader", it just reboots my phone.
The ZTE logo shows, then the TracFone logo, and then Android boots as normal. It's as though I simply used the "Restart" option on my phone itself.
Due to this, I can't use "fastboot" commands, because it doesn't seem to enter Fastboot at all.
I do have both the OEM unlocking and USB debugging options turned ON. My only guess as to what's going wrong is that it's TracFone's fault. (Alas, I have no proof…)
Is there anything else that I can do to try and unlock the bootloader? Or is this phone a lost cause?

Well, I don't know about any other method to unlock boot loader.
BTW, in case of some phones, turning on the "OEM Unlock" button in Developer Options unlocks the bootloader automatically, so maybe, just check whether your bootloader is locked or not.

I tried using both the wasy for the first one the device not going to fastboot mode it just restarts for "adb reboot bootloader".
i tried KingoRoot, Dr Fone but it didn't work.
Did you unlock the ZTE Majesty Pro Z799VL with this method???
