Third-party Applications Statement
During the installation process of some third-party applications, issues of repeated restart
or abnormal operation of software might be caused by incompatibility of the third-party
applications rather than the phone.
Installation of a third-party ROM or non-official operating system (commonly called ‘rooting’
your device) might bring unwanted security risks and may make your device inoperable.
ZTE Corporation will not be liable for the security threats brought by upgrade of the
operating system.
