Come on, there is already available 1-click root with Framaroot. Why would you flash anything if you can do it from within the OS?
Partially, like most if not all attempts to root without reflashing a rooted firmware. You’ll get some access to system configuration, but, say, access to the root file system will still be blocked, so you won’t be able to install a .hosts-based adblocker and things like that.
Just reflash before you install too much to not want to lose it.

I’ve installed the brand new firmware last night, and removed that E-root thing… Not working, dot-period.
As a matter of fact after I reflashed to the new official firmware, I lost root but this time Framaroot rooted everything back successfully, full root.
Hehe, true, I did the very same think, with Framaroot too, and it’s working (so far)
Pa5t1s ??? how did you get RW in system ?? I’ve reflash with STOCK firmware over 20 times.. and also FORMAT /SYSTEM /DATA /davilk and cache from CWM advanced feature.. then I’ve tried with Framaroot and also Vroot (in separate way) bu I always have the same issue, /system is mountes as READ ONLY ::(((( HELP !!!!
I ain’t done anything special… updated firmware through OTA, installed framaroot (check the thread about GizROM_ZP998 to get apk or check XDA) using third exploit, and that’s all 🙁
BusyBox installed fine… and, in RootExplorer, I could “mount r/w”, create a file under /system/media/ and delete it…
Confirmed,
Just installing the new firmware through Flashtool or over OTA… and then rooting it with Framaroot it worked !!! /System is mounted as RW now 🙂

Does framaroot works with zp998?

Hello guys, anyone can confirm if after rooting with Vroot v1.7.5 you can enter into /system/media for example, mount as RW and write ?? just try to create a file or folder in that path.. 🙂 please feed me back.. I’m getting ROOT privileges but /system is mounted always as READ ONLY :(((( It’s so frustrating ¡¡¡
Yep, you’re right, adding a file will failed: read-only, even if mounted as read-write :S
Umm, not so good after all, or missing some thing…
Too good to be true 🙂
Thanks for your prompt answer 🙂 the issue it’s my colleagues just get RW in /system after flashing-install Vroot.. but I’ve tried more than 15 times without success yet… I hope to get lucky soon.
Regards ¡¡
Let us know then 🙂
I was unable to install BusyBox as well… Half-rooted definitively, which is consistent with reports on forums here and there…
