I didn't some research. It seems I have to unlock the bootloader first. Which means I need a code. And I have to buy a code from here?
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
Does this still work? The guide is over a year old.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/bootloader-unlock-guide-t3781275
Any advice would be appreciated.
Yes but you need to downgrade the firmware (<8.0.0.136 or similar, i cannot remember exactly) . Because they have fixed, with latest versions, a backdoor used by dc-unlocker to get the bootloader code.
Cheers

Hmm. This is interesting. I actually haven't opened it yet. It's still sealed in the box. Just in case I had to return it. So there's a chance that it could be at a low enough firmware.
I remember i get the code with the 8.0.0.86 firmware, but check the right thread (here) to find the last one to get the code.

Cool. Thanks. So I need to buy number 3 from this list?
http://i.imgur.com/KfOQDZ8.jpg
If you read the forum, the correct item is number 40 "Read Unlock Codes for Huawei Hisilicon Kirin Android phones".
Bye
I just opened it. And it says that my build number is SHT-W09 8.0.0.173 (C567)
So I'm guessing this means it has to be downgraded.
I ended up getting rid of my M3 and never upgraded to an M5 because of not being able to root or root easily. I ended up running the M3 stock for a while and it was a great tablet, but with all the US bans and back doors to your info from Huawei, I got rid of the M3 and had to move to an iPad mini 5. I would have loved a mini pro version, but this will work for now. I liked the media aspect of the M3 and M5, but all the security issues and lack of root I couldn’t do it anymore. Not to mention there isn’t much other there that are good 8” tablets on the market.

... especially because the iPad is so easy to root ...?
we all know jail breaking an iPad isn’t easy, if it is even possible anymore. Most of the reasons to root an android have better applications than a jailbreak on iOS. I like android tablets a lot more than iOS, but the 8” tablet sector isn’t great anymore. Last great one was the Samsung tab s 8.4 that I thought hit all the marks. I’m just saying I like the M3 and wanted to get an m5 but there are way too many negatives to that brand and tablet now.

There are a few variants of the 'original' S7 and the more recently released S7 Slim. First has a resistive screen second has a capacitive.
It is rumoured that they are identical inside so any accessories (should they appear!) will work on both.
Just make sure you have Android 2.2.2 or above.
I really hope the slim gets accesories but the support from huawei is horrible so i wouldnt hold my breath
Sent from my IDEOS S7 using XDA App
I thought they were both the same? IDEAOS that is.. Only new one was the slim?
I was thinking about getting a Huawei tablet. They're relatively cheap and I'd think they'd be alright for general use. Was doing some research and they're different? Have they been rooted yet?
Yes, i rooted mine half an hour ago infact! I did a writeup sometime ago, however i cant post it due to low post count, or post links so info is lost!

Rooted and upgraded to Android 2.2.2 (Froy) they become a great tablet.
Unlocked ROM, flash enabled, 1gHz CPU unlocked, Apps2sd, more sensitive screen, OTG support for USB host, and cheap!
Can you tell me how you did it?
Hello,
I recently got an S7 Slim. It is a great device, especially for the price point. My only complaint is that the BB version does not come with an active SIM slot. Who knew?
Can you tell me how you rooted your Slim? I have tried oneclick z4 and universal and have not been able to get access.
Thanks

What do you mean? The BB version's SIM slot is fully active.
However the baseband radio firmware that ships with the device has SEVERE bugs that cause the cellular radio to fail in many circumstances. For me, the device only worked in towers with the same area code as my SIM.
The Froyo (2.2) ROMs had new baseband firmware that fixed most if not all of these problems. USA customers never officially saw them, but the Indonesian 2.2 ROM works well on our devices - look at joenilan's ROM in the Development section, it has a link to the Indo 2.2 update.
Edit: Sorry, ooops, missed that you had a Slim and not the original S7. Yeah, I don't believe the Slim has any 3G capability.
Thanks for the response, I also figured out how to root my device successfully! What should I do next?

There is no known root exploit working on the Z667T yet.
Someone needs to go through all the modstring variants on towelroot for it but if the rom build was made after June 3rd it will never work.
Other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/-t2936545
Where would be the best section to post so a dev would see this? I'm sure we can get a bounty going.
First ask for a ZTE Zinger forum, ask on the new devices page there you post a request for a new device, I will also post a request for a new device, I really am surprised at how well the ZINGER works for how cheap it is, Target is having a black Friday sale for 9.99 on the phone, but it's locked to brightwater or some off mobile company. If we could get some devs to unlock it, it's a very good dual core 1.2 ghz and I bet it could be overclocked if we get it rooted, there is a funny screen you can get to by pressing up and power menu might be a,boot loader or exploit we can get in there, or the recovery is volume down and power. It has developers and sub debugging so with some help I bet we could see it rooted and unlocked
I just got one with a coupon for 8$... I got it unlocked by generating the code via IMEI... however I can't root this damn thing.
All the exploits I've tried fail. If anyone would like to try some remote rooting/dumping I can setup an ADB SSH server.
These devices are dual core and QUICK so it would be a waste not to have root. Even the stupid cheap Net10 LGL androids have root.
Thanks
How do we get some devs interested? We already have a bounty going in the other thread. I don't have any I'm not using, if I can find another for $10 I'd gladly send it to someone with the skill to try and root it.
" I just got one with a coupon for 8$... I got it unlocked by generating the code via IMEI... however I can't root this damn thing. "
How did you swing that deal?
I need root for this too Z667T
Just got this little phone and I like it. Very impressed, when was it released??
this is the only info I've found on any of the forums regarding rooting it.
Power + Vol UP = recovery <---it allows an adb sideload update process. Kinda neat.
Power + Vol Down = some sort of firmware thing??? Screen says "FTM"

I love this little phone but I don't think any dev wants to touch it.
It's sad because I remember owning the TMobile Comet (Huawei U8250?) and it came with Froyo and it was put on CM version of ICS.
Ah well.
At least it's stock Kitkat (give or take that stupid Amazon app.)

Why do you say that?
I don't know. I've been around the block a time or two, I've seen unexpected suprises with low-end devices getting a lot of support from the great devs out there. I've seen some high end devices not get touched ever, ie The LG Revolution.
Just a bad feeling I guess. Perhaps I'm jumping the gun because this phone is still so new.
IT seems it's always my luck that when I get a phone, something is always in the way....in this case I read that ZTE has tried something new and locked it down so tight as to make it difficult if not impossible to get past the bootloader (?) to get to the nitty gritty. No know methods work...I've tried them all (along with folks at other forums.)
Patience I must have now.
From what I've read from other owners is that the phone as it is is wonderful. Vanilla (almost) Kitkat...but root could give us the opportunity to get Xposed involved in improving it overall....not tot mention a shot at a CM build in the future.
As I posted here, our best bet in the short term until a real developer shows up is to get ahold of the at&t version of this phone which is physically identical but has Android 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...ndroid-gsm-t2936545/post57227556#post57227556
that at&t 4.3 version hopefully will be rootable and then the firmware can be backed up and then flashed to these phones
it would be downgrade from kitkat to jellybean until a new root method for kitkat is found but I would happily give up 4.4 for 4.3 temporarily to get real control over the phone
I'm just trying to find the at&t version for less than $50 somewhere, it doesn't appear to be sold in stores, only online at at&t and cricket (at&t owns cricket)
developer volunteering to help root, someone needs to step up asap:

I have one of this too. It isn't a quick. 1.2 Ghz is slow. I only have it as a back up. It's really a piece of **** phone. But for $40 with no contract it's worth it. I'll be messing with breaking the security tonight.

I don't have my phone yet, wonder what to expect of it. Hardware and software seems good, done a nice bit of research on it.
to buy or not to buy
I'm very interested in this phone. Love the form factor and OLED screen. The only thing I'm worried about is the support for the phone. Like you mentioned, we seem to be the first ones talking about it and there doesn't seem to be any information about rooting, ROMs or simply reviews by other people. I'm also wary after a similar-ish phone(umi zero) encountered LOTs of issues after people received them.
If someone could disprove my concerns then I would buy it instantly.
Well there is a coolpad site for support of the phone and I will have Warranty from oppomart where I bought it, but development seems to be nowhere to be found.
www.coolpad.com/en/service.html
Must be forums somewhere for this phone.....
meh
Think I'm going to get it anyways
Cool UI looks bearable but not that polished. Hopefully can find a way to root it.
@Rod, if you could post impressions once you receive yours, that would be fantastic.

Ordered the mediatek variant. Think the snapdragon sale was a scam...
Will receive in about 12 days...
The phone is also getting released in India so there has been a surge in interest from the indian phone reviewers.
Rooting the device doesn't appear to be a problem but like you said, there doesn't seem to be any ROMs for it.
Yeah I seen talk about the Snapdragon but never seen one or heard of it being built.
Hopefully when the phone gets over to India some Roms will come out. I hear coolui is supposed to be nice though, especially the 6.0 version that's coming soon
Found some more ino on this phone. I think this is firmware and usb drivers, but not sure til i get my phone next week to see what model it is.

Just found this site diearthelloverat. There IS a Snapdragon version, maybe not released from China yet.
http://www.coolpad.com/goods/3571.html
I actually did purchase the snapdragon version.
Will arrive in about 10 days.
Good for you. ?. I wonder what one got the better performance.....
Finally got my x7
Ordered the Snapdragon version. Has 800 not the rumored 801
2.7 gb of ram
Most importantly, Google Services doesn't work on the phone. That means I can't use Google Play Store, Gmail or Snapchat and any other apps that require Google Services.
Also, my sim card fails to register! At the same time, even though the language is set to English, large chunks of the phone is still in Chinese. The provided apps are also all in Chinese making management of the phone difficult. In short, unless I can find and flash the Indian Coolpad x7 rom(which has full english support and has Google Services), I can't use this phone and will have to return it.
I caution anyone looking into this phone. At least, don't buy the Snapdragon version...

Did you get your tabled rooted?
No dice =-(
Ended up doing an OTA update that I couldn't stop from pushing through. Still searching around for something that works, I just hope I'm not too late. I absolutely love this tablet.. For the performance , build quality, and price, this thing can't be beat. Samsung and Huawei had a couple of decent tablets in the same price range but they looked and felt "cheap" to me. Unlike my HTC 10, I don't think I will lose any sleep if it never gets rooted but I certainly wouldn't mind a custom ROM on this thing
Rooting Z500M
I very much hope someone responds favorably to rooting the Z500M.
I have seen several websites that offer instruction on how to do it. I posted links to some of those pages that offered solutions, but when I did my post was deleted and I was accused of some nonsense from the head of the forum.
I have also seen a site that gives a tutorial on loading Nougat to the Z500M, I would share it but I don't want to get criticized again.
In that meantime, will Asus ever have a upgrade for Android Nougat, at least to 6.01, which had been out for quite a while and I use on my Asus built Nexus 7(2013).
I really want to root and install Adaway to manage all the ads.
Thanks

I would appreciate that very much as well.
The z500m looks like a very good android device but unfortunately I would like to be able to root it before I buy it.
If anyone knows a way to achieve this I would really appreciate that.
Thanks to all. I have had the ZenPad Z500M for about two months and it is a fantastic Tablet, especially for the price.
I am waiting to read from someone who has successfully rooted it. I have read several posts around the web with methods that "should" work, but no comments from anyone who has successfully done it.
I also am waiting for an upgrade to Android 7, Nougat. After signing a petition for Asus to allow upgrades to Nougat and several tech emails and calls, Asus tech support says it will happen.. When?
I would very much like to root it, use Adaway and a custom ROM if I need to.
Thanks,
Jon
i got the nougat update for this tablet about a month ago. android 7.0.

Depends on your firmware. If Security Patch is June or later you won't be able to, at least not if you're on C432.
If you are on security patch may or earlier you will be able to use HCU client to get unlock code, but it's paid.
I can only confirm that it's not possible to get unlock code on C432B145+, I can't confirm for other cust but it will most likely be the same.
Edit: if it's a brand new phone it will likely come with factory firmware, unless the shop you bought it from updated it.
Even if I was able to unlock think it's likely that development will be very limited would I be right in thinking this.

I wouldn't say "limited" it depends what your looking for, obviously the best device development is for OnePlus and Pixels imo, but we still have RessurectionRemix, LineageOS, CarbonROM & OmniROM, that's 4 pretty recognisable ROM's :good:
Link to ROM's : https://openkirin.net/download/
To be honest, I had my first Mate 10 Pro rooted, and apart from an Ad blocker and YouTube Vanced there wasn't much I felt any need to install. Now Vanced can be installed without root, and Ad Blocker can run on various browsers, I don't see much point.
The Mate 10 Pro is a brilliant phone, I'm seriously considering selling my S9+ and going back to the 10 Pro - the battery life was far better, and I think the camera was better. I also hate the bent sides on the screen on the Samsung. Only thing I might missis Samsung Pay, but I'll just go back to contactless card.
Thanks to you guys and some further reasearch i was able to reach out to the person on ebay i had bought the phone from and cancel the purchase after explaining the situation with bootloader. I am still reeling from Huwaweis decision to stop bootloader unlocking and hope they one day reverse this decision. I really had my heart set on the mate 10 for obvious reasons but possible lack of bootloader unlock is just a no no for me on my current phone a xiaomi mi6 i regularly change roms and kernels sometimes twice a week so i certainly could not live with being stuck on Mui with no possibility of modifications xposed etc. And i did not want to take the risk of buying to only find out that the bootloder had been patched or something and id be stuck.
So now i have turned my attention to either the oneplus 5 or perhaps galaxy s8plus. Again thanks for your help guys.
