z3x shell is a mobile phone tool developed to enable skilled and enthusiast users to unlock access to developer-level areas of hardware of several smartphone brands such as LG and Samsung.

However, be aware that this application is just a part of the larger package that was developed by the z3x-team, and it includes a physical box and a card that will unlock the full potential of this application.

One of the core usage scenarios for the z3x shell is to enable access to protected software areas of the operating system and boot sequence.

With that access, users are able to not only enact changes in the Android OS but also remove its configuration to the default state or even completely wipe the phone from all data and prepare if for loading of the new version of OS. Some users also use this application for removing locks from various Android smartphones and tablets.
 
To start using z3x shell, users will first have to download and install this app using a streamlined installer. The user interface of the app is simple to use and features a no-nonsense layout with five main tabs – Shell, Support files, Station, Settings, and F.A.Q.

The most interesting and time-saving feature of the app is its Support Files tab where users can access an online depository of tools, utilities (recovery tools), custom firmware and other software written for a wide array of compatible handsets. These files are organized in a large directory library, with built-in tools to download files with several methods – directly inside the app, through the web browser, and even torrent files.

With all those tried and tested software solutions being available for download from inside a single application, a technically minded user can easily work on numerous compatible handsets without the need to create his own library of (potentially unreliable) software.

Itrepresents one of the best mobile phone tools available in today's market. The app is 100% FREE and optimized for all modern versions of Windows OS.
