Can the ZIDOO Z9X be rooted?

    After reading through the main Z9X thread on this forum, the answer is - no, not currently, maybe in the future.

    That this is the first Zidoo box that actually aimed for Netflix 4K support (so all DRM layers included), leaves me a little worried that they would not look into releasing a root option for this device...

    For me root is essential, so no root means no purchase in my case. :)

    access all privileged areas/api, bypass all forms of security. basically do whatever you want with the hardware & os.

    Flashing the recovery image removes root so warranty shouldn't be a problem.

    Haha you presume it is still working for flashing but you have a real need for RMA. Not a very likely scenario in my humble opinion. :p

    During the time I played with my own build of Openwrt I've flashed my Z9S 50+ times and never had a problem.

    Not my point. I am talking about a broken Zidoo needing repairs/warranty.

    Some have dificulty just simply updating the firmware
    And end up RMA it back .

    But if thats the case doubt they would attempt Rooting it maybe .

    https://t.me/zidoo_firmware


    Special firmware for Z9s, Z10, Z1000, UHD2000 (with root access, DRM L3). They allow you to watch online cinemas okko, kinopoisk, ivy and others. Firmware for younger models contains a cd ripper, which allows you to copy cd disks from an external drive. Routine, installed from a USB flash drive, as usual. Unofficial firmware, at your own peril and risk !!!
