No, seems like an Asia only model.

It has an upgraded specs from the original Skate! But this Model will no longer be sold here in the Philippines. Zte made the unit On Sale from Php 9900 to Php 5990. and now you can hardly find it on the store. They are now selling ZTE Grand X Php 9990  and Blade 3 at Php 7990!

Masters any Positive news on how can we Root this device and If possible update the ROM to ICS or Jelly Bean?

[C3C0]

Root shouldn't be a problem if you can get me the stock boot.img from somewhere.

Go to this link : http://wwwen.zte.com...10169874154.zip

1. Save the .RAR Compressed file to the desktop , open it and install "ZTE Update Tool"

2. Once installed it may need a couple of minutes to download latest updates

3. Make sure you have an Internet Connection to download the update package

4. After you open , you continue and follow on-screen instructions

5. After the Hardware is detected , new system update will be available .

6. It will ask you where you want to extract or place the Package , place it on the DESKTOP

7. YOU NOW have that full package to deliver to CEC0

The package includes a TPT Flash Card Updater with the files and everything that he needs

the only choice is "back button'' .. tipsypedro already posted the mtd.zip on the first page and

files_build_config.zip.. inside

files_build_config.zip is the boot.img.. is that what you need?

Yes is all the files that is needed

[C3C0]

files_build_config is not the boot.img. Just the kernel configuration. We need full boot.img extracted from boot partition.
I don't know how to extract them without having root already.
Root exploits like psneuter and GingerBreak do not work on Skate.

But ZTE has released new factory updates to the Stock ROM of ZTE Skate.

[C3C0]

This is not a ZTE Skate as we know it. Completely different device.

[dentot]

is there any other way on how to root this device..  do you need any other files? build.prop or something.. i saw that file via es file explorer..  pls. help..

[dentot]

can we root it via cwm recovery? but we only have the stock recovery..

[C3C0]

We need compatible clockworkmod. To create it we need original kernel (boot.img)
I contacted Paul to ask him what exploit he used to gain local root on Skate to extract images. But no answer yet.
