Trying to root my ZTE ZMax Pro (Z981) from MetroPCS, keep getting stuck on Sahara error in the QFIL - ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I've been trying to root my ZTE phone for a couple of days now (using this guide: https://androidforums.com/threads/new-root-method-for-z981-zmax-pro.1284305/) but when I try to flash (?) using the QFIL, I keep getting this error:
ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:277 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.
ERROR: function: sahara_main:983 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed
Download Fail: Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Fail: Process fail
I've tried getting the most recent version of QFIL I could find, I've tried allowing unsigned drivers, I've tried finding a new programmer file, updating the Qualcomm drivers but I keep getting the same error.
I'm using QFIL 2.0.2.3 and the ZTE is running Android 6.0.1
If anyone could help me out that'd be greatly appreciated, and if there's a piece of info that I need to provide just reply and I'll edit it in.
Thanks in advance!

Bricked Phone, no screen at all

Hi there,
my brother purchased a used Note 4 and made a software update, after that the phone died. Now nothing is working, no recovery mode, no download mode. The phone does not even vibrate while holding the buttons.
The phone is still recognized in the pc with Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008, also Miflash and QFil (the Qualcom Flash Image Loader) recognize the device but i am not able to go any further. Miflash tops because of error " end of file (EOF) Receiving hello packet" and QFil says:
Start Sending Programmer
Download Fail:System.Exception: Unable to download Flash Programmer using Sahara Protocol
bei QC.QMSLPhone.Phone.QPHONEMS_SaharaArmPrgDownload(String sFileName)
bei QC.SwDownloadDLL.SwDownload.QPHONEMSSaharaDownloadArmPrg(UInt64& version, String armPrgPath)
Download Fail:Sahara FailSahara Fail
Finish Download
I think i am using the wrong files or whatever, it would be GREAT if you could help me/send me the correct files or whatever.
THANKS

Did i brick my GT-I9505 ?

Today i wanted to update my phone from cynaogenmod to a recent lineageos. It followed this guide jfltexx/install, but when i tried to "heimdall flash --RECOVERY ...", the blue progress bar on the phone got to ~99% - then heimdall crashed:
Code:
...
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Uploading RECOVERY
100%libusb: error [udev_hotplug_event] ignoring udev action bind
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: RECOVERY upload failed!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!
Releasing device interface...
Because at that point nothing would change anymore, i unplugged the phone and rebooted. Since then the phone won't boot android anymore and reports "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." when booting to recovery mode. Download mode is still accessible, but worthless:
Flashing the original ROM fails with "Complete(Write) operation failed": imgur
Flashing it with a PIT i found on this forum doesn't work either: imgur
Is my phone completely lost? Is there something i can do?

Hello,
Please follow my Guides. I recommend you to follow the guide "clean install from scratch" and also use Odin. Everything you need it's on my thread and in my collection.
Issue Resolved
The solution was to use a shorter USB cable. Thank you so much for making me not loose my faith!
