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.
Both Didn't work

I tried using both the wasy for the first one the device not going to fastboot mode it just restarts for "adb reboot bootloader".

Hi everyone.
I apologize if this was already asked.
I own a Symphony H50. I am trying to install windows via change my software but it shows device too slow or protected by manufacturer.
So googled it and found that i need to unlock my boot loader.
So I installed adb,fastboot,drivers including bootloader interface driver. And booted into fastboot mode. And typed "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" and the command prompt shows 3 dots (...) And the cursor keeps flashing. And no confirmation message shows up on my phone.
It only shows "FASTBOOT mode".
Another thing i found out while installing adb drivers that it listed my phone manufacturer as HTC.
So is the problem with my phone?
And how do i fix it?
It may be a problem with driver, uninstall the previous one and install Koush universal adb driver from kaushikdatta.com
Use the link given below for a thorough tutorial to replace drivers.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/android-wont-connect-windows-adb-fix-it-three-steps/
Thanks for reply,
I'll try the drivers.
Though my adb drivers are working fine. My issue is with fastboot.
When i boot into fastboot mode it shows "FASTBOOT mode" on a black screen.
But i would try with the
That black screen with fastboot mode written at the bottom comes up on every phone when you boot into bootloader.
Please read the whole guide before proceeding.
You may skip the driver and adb installation part if u have already taken the measures I stated before.
Try this,
Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.
Run command prompt as administrator.
Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.
Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.
Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.
If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"
Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.
Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".
Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.
When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.
U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.

Hi, still in progress, i trying everything but still without succes. Someone know how to easily downgrade to 5.1.1 with this phone?
Now it give me this : <waiting for any device>
Hi everyone, I have a Samsung S6 from verizon (SM-G920V). My build number is NRD90M.G920VVRS4DRA1. Last updated Jan 2018. I accidently deleted some pictures through MyFiles and am trying to get them back. I have researched quite a bit and have found that all of the data recovery software available require my phone to be rooted to actually find anything. I am not opposed to rooting, but I am new to this. I tried lots of different "one-click" root programs, and nothing has worked. They all either freeze or tell me they aren't compatible with my phone. I either need a quick/temporary root that will work with my phone, or REALLY SIMPLE instructions to do it manually. I have a windows and a mac computer. PLEASE HELP. Thank you!!

Press the "Revoke USB debugging authorization" in Developer Options.
Connect your phone with pc with the phone screen on and unlocked.
The phone will ask for permission, press OK.
Then type "adb devices" in the terminal as directed in the tutorial before.
It will probably show your device.

Thanks either way
Yeah, sure -->
You need to have the unsigned boot.img for the q452, download it from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/127pySEIXj-uRyZpWycfRjaihkYgGv9tR/view?usp=sharing
Install the Magisk Manager apk, open it, click on the Install button next to "Magisk is not installed" and then click on Install again.
Then select "Select and Patch a File" and select the unsigned boot.img. Magisk will patch it, and then flash the patched boot image using adb (you need to have an unlocked bootloader). That's it!

Install the Magisk Manager apk, open it, click on the Install button next to "Magisk is not installed" and then click on Install again.
Then select "Select and Patch a File" and select the unsigned boot.img. Magisk will patch it, and then flash the patched boot image using adb (you need to have an unlocked bootloader). That's it!

THIS WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
Ok, first you have to enable "OEM unlocking" in the Developer options. The adb commands are-
1. adb devices (to make sure that the device is connected)
2. adb reboot bootloader
3. fastboot devices
4. fastboot flashing unlock OR fastboot oem unlock Then press the volume up button on the phone to unlock the bootloader
5. fastboot reboot bootloader
5. fastboot flash boot boot.img (where boot.img is the unsigned boot.img, you have to put it in the adb folder)
6. fastboot reboot
That's it! Hit the thanks button if I helped you!

Hey all i dont know what the deal is but ive got an lg g5 that just will not boot to the bootloader. I've tried factory resetting it and all the methods to get to bootloader just reboots the phone fully. Adb reboot booloader, key combos, nothing seems to work. Any ideas??
First, connect your smartphone with your PC; plug in the USB cord in order to establish the connection.
On your computer access the Android SDK folder.
From there open a command prompt window: press and hold the Shift keyboard key while right clicking on any blank space.
Next, in the cmd window type “adb reboot bootloader” and wait while the bootloader mode is displayed on your smartphone
That's basically what I did and worked first time..make sure the adb and fastboot package is installed and open the command window from that folder

Did all that.. I mean I've flashed custom recoveries and roms to other phones before and never really had a problem i couldn't google..this has me stumped. It simply refuses to even access the bootloader.
If it helps it was a koodo phone and is running the latest official patch from lg on nougat. The only thing i could find online was that sprint supposedly removed all access to the bootloader on theirs, but i cant find any real info on that either. It reboots when i send the adb reboot bootloader but its like fastboot just isn't there..?? It reboots right back to the android home screen. Ive tried all possible key combos as well... Ugh
Which model is it..mines the h850
Ive got the h831
I think I've sort of answered my own question. From browsing the forums it appears the Canadian variant has the bootloader locked down and inaccessible, which would explain a lot..lol.. I really hate when this kind of thing is done to the consumer...ugh. Back to xiaomi i guess lol

Interesting - my xianomi hat an locked bootloader and i had to ask for permission (for the phone I bought!) to unlock the bootloader.
LG is also locked, but the unlocking procedure is way easier.
