[Q] Bootloader Bypass question topic

There are a few of use trying to get root for our ZTE Zinger. It seems that ZTE has this little guy locked down tight. Most paritions are r/o set on boot. If you go into recovery, they are not however.
What is needed next to help with this?

I know it's such an unusual question.

We have a couple of talented guys trying to achieve this but help is needed.

This is the page in the thread where things get going:

Here are the specs for the ZTE Zinger. It's just a small prepaid Tmo phone, and it's locked down tighter than fort knox.

Thanks for any direction or pointers concerning this thing.
