ota firmware zte z820
(31-01-2020, 01:30 AM)gonamec997 i forgot by now it seems i cant find the update file with this model for some reason in the root explorer. all this phone stuff is really pissing me off so much and stressing me out. i have two zte obsidian z820s i have successfully flashed with sp flash tool i cant even boot to fastboot and unlock the bootloader i really want twrp and magisk only way to root this one is with dr,fone root which uses supersu which modify system files.
(01-02-2020, 12:02 AM)gonamec997 how to flash twrp? i was reading up on the patched boot for magisk. also will the settings remain active after reboot? thank you for the help. im thinking about re modifying my phones. after that i would like to find a good custom firmware. im not sure if twrp is supported for this device though however not totally sure as i havent been android modding in a few years. Thank You for your replies and help.
(02-02-2020, 07:15 PM)gonamec997 ok so i restored the stock recovery for now since it is the stock recovery it unlocks the recovery for now. is there anything else i can try to get twrp. the device is rooted for now with supersu. it granted root permissions before the twrp img flash i selected. it flashed successfully even though since the bootloader is locked it detects it upon booting and locks from accessing recovery or the custom recovery until the stock recovery is restored. if there is anyway around this without an unlocked bootloader it would help a lot. so far i tried for a long time trying to unlock the bootloader and it seems almost impossible to do it myself. i tried adb commands and even phone tools and its a no go to unlock the bootloader. even though it can be rooted with dr.fone root/supersu. my goal is to get twrp and magisk installed for this device, however.
(05-02-2020, 01:50 AM)gonamec997 ok so i tried once again and tried to reboot with rashr after the supersu granted the phone permissions and flashed twrp.img file. well the stock bootloader says it has locked the bootloader because of unauhorized software. it lets me boot the phone just the bootloader remains locked until i reflash the stock bootloader i backed up before flashing. please let me know if there is any workaround or i should try to buy a different phone since this one i cannot get the stock bootloader unlocked and have been trying for months. i believe since the bootloader is locked there is no way to get custom recovery. please reply if you think i should give up trying to get custom firmware for this device. thanks
