Before I start: everything I'm going to post here, I learned from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/maven-3/help/zte-maven-3-z835-root-t3705687/page9

VERSION OF MAGISK FLASHEAD v17.1 (Unfortunately no one has flashed version v18.1)

What we need (they will be in the links at the end):
-ZPST for AT&T (with this program we are going to flash the modified boot.img)

-Drivers: QDLoader, ZTE AndroidUSB and ZTE_V889F (in case the previous Zte driver does not work).

-Modified boot.img that are already flashed with Magisk, only the following versions are available:
-Z835V2.0.0B10
-Z835V2.0.0B12
-Z835V1.0.0B13

-Magisk Manager version compatible with v17.1

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN A LINK AT THE END OF THE POST.

Let's get started.

I recommend to do a hard reset before starting, however, in one of my devices I did it having data and applications installed, if you have used kingroot or any other software in your phone, erase all trace of it so you do not have problems.

We download all the contents of the folder, install all drivers included, and the ZPST for AT&T.

Starting to flash:

WE NEED AT LEAST 50-60% of Battery

Turn off the phone and turn on pressing Vol Down + Power Button, the phone will start in FTM mode.

Open ZPST for AT&T and select version Z835

WARNING, remove the usim and sd card

Once inside the software we proceed to connect the cell phone.
1. You will see if the phone was recognized by the com port.
2. Download, this is where we will enter to download the firmware
3. You will see your information imei and so on.

WARNING: wait for the device to restart at least 2 or 3 times, one of them will be in FTM mode again, so do not panic, it will take a while in 3% or 5%.

When the phone starts normally, if you did a hard reset configure everything again, otherwise, we will proceed to install the magisk.

DO NOT INSERT THE SD CARD YET!

Magisk asks if I want to update to the latest version, press NO THANKS.

    Nice work! This confirms that the bootloader is unlocked, which means we can then use just the firehose to flash these files. I will work on writing something up for that.

    with this can you uninstall original system's apps such as device help, google apps? install recovery and titanium backup? I need to remove a lot of bloatware/default apps that is taking memory from the device

    You can install titanium backup, twrp is not possible at this point, no one has done it yet, you can delete system apps through adb, using

    Code:
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 packagename

    But i haven't figured out yet how to get rw permission on system/apps so i can delete system apk's.
