So I'm in the process of trying to Root my ZTE Smarttab 10 on firmware v03b.
Ive been following instructions on the following pages:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629630
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555
The instructions are spread out across those threads and my problem starts kind of early in the process.
My goal is to use ADB to boot in to the Bootloader and then use a recovery rom to use TWRP to install a rom.
What i have done:
I have installed the ZTE Drivers
I have installed the SDK tools and updated it.
Now when the tablet is running normally I can see it in ADB and is able to run the command.
ADB Reboot Bootloader
This reboots the devices to a black screen (I assume this is the bootloader) and windows recognizes that a device is there.
The problem is that when I try to see this from ADB i cannot see the device when running ADB Devices.
This makes the next step impossible as I need to use ADB to boot a recovery rom.
So I would have posted in the development treads listed above but as I dont have 10 posts (this being my first post) I cannot post in the threads above.
I'm confident that this is a driver problem and I have uninstalled and re-installed all the drivers related to this including SDK.
But no luck yet.
Where other people say they have succeeded is when in the device manager they have ADB interface and ZTE Handset ADB interface listed.
This is the state where I'm at but I still cannot see the device in ADB.
Anyone have any insight on this kind of problem and can offer any help for a solution or direction to get to the solution.
Thank you for your help and attention!

You can't use adb in bootloader mode, you want fastboot. So when you do 'adb reboot bootloader'. It reboots to the black screen (that is the bootloader). Try typing 'fastboot devices' and see if you're device comes up. It should if you have all drivers installed correctly and fastboot on your system. Then you'll be able to do 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to install the custom recovery, then a 'fastboot reboot' and lastly an 'adb reboot recovery' will get you into your custom recovery to flash a new rom. Don't forget to make a backup.

Thank you for the help ! it cleared things up for me.
Now the trouble's continue.
With the firmware im on (v03b) you cannot use the fastboot flash method but only fastboot.
And they way it is supposed to be done is that you run
fastboot boot recovery.img (recovery being a twrp recovery for my device)
When its booted to TWRP i should be able to see it in ADB to be able to run the following commands to it:
--> adb remount
--> adb shell
--> ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
However I cannot get it to show in ADB (or fastboot) when its booted in to TWRP.
Any ideas?
I managed to solve the last bit to.
Now it was actually a driver problem, so i just updated the driver in device manager and located the ADB driver from ZTE and it worked to boot in to TWRP and then to flash the device.
Now I have CM10 installed and is smiling!
Took me 4 days but damn it its done!
Thanks for the help!
Glad you've figured it out

Hi there!
Please help me...
My Infocus M210 is rooted and I've edited the build.prop from a build prop editor to speed up internet data connection but the editor goes wild and changes everything written on the build.prop then forced my phone to shut down and when I start my phone, it stuck at boot loop.
I've already wipe data/factory reset on its built-in Android system recovery <3e>.
but I think its the worst thing that I've done.
Coz I thougt it disabled debugging and removed root permission from my device.
I've used Apply update from ADB.
I tried to sideload stockrom.zip but when its completed sending on my phone, then says "installation aborted" I've tried different ROMs but same result.
I have also tried shell commands:
adb pull /system/build.prop
adb -d -e -s <serialNumber> shell am start options -D
but all shell commands doesn't work and says "error:closed"
So then I've tried Fastboot mode
but my devices wasn't found
so I have followed some threads and watched youtube tutorials:
So I removed drivers via "usbdeview"
Then installed Fastboot device/ Fastboot interface drivers manually.
but I almost tried all drivers from official to many google drivers
but still my device wasn't found in cmd
says "waiting for device"
Now I'm thinking if there are some tricks to fix adb "error:closed"
or try different computers for fastboot
I already used my Windows 7 64-bit from my friend
and Windows XP 32-bit from my friend
Please Help me...
Hi,
I am having TWRP recovery, version - 3.0.2-0 (multirom)
Android Version - 5.1.1
OS - Cyanogen 12.1 - YOG4PAS1N0
1.
When I connect my phone via usb and try to run
Code:
adb devices
, I get -
Code:
List of devices attached
624225fe unauthorized
And after that when I try any command, I get error -
Code:
adb shell
error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
No confirmation is being asked in my phone at this time.
When my device is on (not in recovery) and then when I connect it via usb then everything works fine (drivers already installed in my PC, android debugging enabled in my phone).
When I am in recovery then only it is throwing this error.
Also in the TWRP recovery there is an option of 'Terminal' in 'Advanced' and there I am able to run each command of adb and others.
How TWRP is not able to identify that permission has been granted already for adb.
Is it a TWRP version issue?
2.
when I am trying
Code:
adb pull /data/data/somefile
when my phone is on (not in recovery), its saying
Code:
error: device not found
.
Did not get this as I have already used this command many times before also.
Thanks.
Hello! I have a problem with old tablet it is Prestigio multipad 4 quantum 7.85. It is that this tablet doesn't have OS installed so I tried to install it manually with adb . In recovery I turn on ADB update and ADB with command "adb devices" detects it as "sideload" so I tried command adb sideload update.zip (I put it in ADB folder) which contains original software which I downloaded from internet but installation starts and after completion on tablet i see installation aborted. Tablet doesn't have TWRP and as I said only stock recovery is working is there any way to install software to it and will start working?

I just got a new F(x)tec Pro-1X and I want to root it. I'm following the instructions to use Magisk from the F(x)tec team which involves 1) installing Magisk, 2) connecting adb and authorizing, 3) adb pushing the Pro-1X boot.img, 4) Running Magisk and patching the boot.img, and 5) downloading the patched .img.
Then I run "adb reboot bootloader" which leads me to a screen where I can choose Recovery mode and then I get to an Android screen that says "No command". I believe it's here that I'm supposed to run "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_HsxJg.img"; however, when I run "adb devices", I get unauthorized, and trying to run fastboot anyway fails:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
8ce396c8 unauthorized
$ fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_HsxJg.img
< waiting for any device >
I found elsewhere that from this screen, I can hold the power button and press the volume up key and then release both and I see the Android recovery screen. Then I scroll down to Enter fastboot and press power to enter that and I see fastbootd, but I get the same "waiting for any device" output if I try the fastboot flash command here.
If I go back to recovery mode, and instead go to Apply update from ADB, I then see the following from adb devices, but I still can't run fastboot flash:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
8ce396c8 sideload
I'm running the latest Android Studio and platform-tools on a Lenovo X270 running Fedora 37 and Linux kernel 6.0.17. I'm connecting using a USB-2 port without a hub and tried multiple USBC cords.
A commenter on the F(x)tec forums said that he could never get his Lenovo X250 to work and he had to buy a Raspberry Pi 3 model B.
Are there any alternatives or diagnostics I can run to help solve this "unauthorized" error?
Did you enable usb debugging in the developer options and validate the box after connecting with a USB cable?

Yes. That was required for steps 2-4 for pushing and pulling the image. When I did that, I had to authorize my laptop on my phone. There's no such dialog during recovery mode. Is there some way to pre-authorize recovery mode with my laptop, or otherwise disable this authorization?
Option below USB debugging, which is: Revoke USB debugging authorizations.
or
read this:
ADB Android Device Unauthorized
Since I reinstalled Eclipse (simply deleted and downloaded it again) I can't debug my applications on Samsung Galaxy i9001 (with CyanogenMod - Android 4.4.2). It worked fine before reinstallation.

Thanks, but none of that worked. My problem is authorizing during recovery mode, not during normal operations. It seems what I really need is to either modify /data/misc/adb/adb_keys on the device, or run adb disable-verity, or set ro.adb.secure=0, but I don't have permissions to do any of those.
It's interesting that another F(x)tec user says this works with a Raspberry Pi, and also says it does not work with his Lenovo X250 running Linux, which is similar to my laptop. This suggests there's some sort of limitation or additional security related to the Linux kernel 6.0.17 and/or Fedora, but I can't find what that is or how to diagnose it. I don't have SELinux running on my laptop.
Good day,
I'm use adb tools from my fedora 37
Your issue is related to how you call adb.
Try this:
adb kill-server
sudo adb start-server
sudo adb devices
The same game with fastboot tools
Its works perfect with selinux on

Doesn't work:
$ adb kill-server
$ sudo -i
# adb start-server
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
# adb devices
List of devices attached
8ce396c8 device
# adb reboot bootloader

# adb devices
List of devices attached

# fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_HsxJg.img
< waiting for any device >
For reference, attached are pictures of all the places where I try the commands and they fail.
I bought a Raspberry Pi 3 B and microSD, installed Raspbian, installed adb and fastboot, connected to phone (normal boot), authorized the Pi, ran adb reboot bootloader, entered recovery mode, phone goes to "No command" screen, but then I get a popup on my Raspberry Pi desktop that says:
Unable to open MTP device "001,013"
Clicked OK and ran adb devices, and I'm back to the "unauthorized" status and adb and fastboot don't work. Tried this in the Raspberry Pi as both a normal user and root (with adb kill-server in between).
Tried with another USB C cable and got a similar error, although it ended with "001,016".
Any ideas?
Resolved by running fastboot on the START screen! (And worked through my X270)
