Root Root and CWM Recovery for ZTE Concord 2

What I did was RM hangouts* and rebooted. But it was still there. Thing is, in app info, instead of disable, it said uninstall.
 
YES! YES AND MORE YES! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THIS ROOT! I CAN FINALLY BE AT PEACE WITH THIS PHONE! I do have 1 question though, because of the ROM's write protection, how will this affect the full functionality of root apps?
 
OH YEAH THANKS FOR ROOTING THIS BUGGER!

Ok, so I also have 4 of these phones. Very disappointed that google decided to lock down moving apps to the sd card. So I specifically wanted root to enable that ability. But I think that not having R/W access makes all the methods I've seen not work, as I'm pretty sure they're all just (re)writing config files.

Preferable method:
root external 2 internal
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.codlab.int2ext&hl=en
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92aS5Nh7cFw
might be possible to do through adb, if I knew what they were editing?

Alternatives:
sdfix - allows apps to write to ext sd card, so I think this would allow app2sd (appmgrlll) to work again...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix&hl=en
might be possible to do through adb, if I knew what they were editing?

Directory Bind - allows moving apps, but I think this would require R/W access?
[TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external… | Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 | XDA Forums

Found a very long video that talks about using [HIGH]adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2[/HIGH] to set the install location for future apps to the sd card, where 2=external 0=internal

Any help or ideas?
Yes, very important functions. I was wondering this myself.
 
I have multiple of these phones and I would love to get Reverse USB Tethering (make the phone use Internet from the computer) working on these. My wifi signal is pretty poor and I'd like to get a wired connection for multiple of these (hence the Reverse USB Tethering).

Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?
 
First of all, thank you. Secondly, is there any chance you would be willing to share the source code so I can try to make a working version for Linux users? Thanks again.
 
Hi!
thanks for all the good work and help in using it.

All I really want to do is convert this phone over to T-Mobile.

Could you point me to the T-Mobile FW for this ZTE Concord 2?

thanks

The day after this was announced, got an OTA update... Bc of the timing, I have not installed the update... Anybody know if that is the reason for the OTA "update"??? Anyways, my primary question is this regarding the OS used to in the actual routing process... Is it possible for me to utilize my MZ600 instead of a Windows computer to root my ZTE730??? Very excited about FINALLY being able to root my phone! Can't wait to work through it and figure it out... Thank you so much for everybody's hard work! :-)

Hmm, I have not installed the update either, did not know about it.

Not sure if they would be able to push out an update for this that quick though.

Windows computer needed
 
I have been trying to figure out how to do this all day. Had to learn hands on on how to install drivers and what not. Now I clicked the app on my PC and managed to get cwm on my phone.. But rootchecker says phone isn't rooted and I don't have superu installed. Please help.. When cwm came on my phone the first time to install root it said something about not being able to find superu

are you sure you do not have a yellow icon in your app drawer that says Super SU ?

if not

can you try to run the script again

watch the phone closely, and tell me what it does

I had the same thing, I was dealing for couple of hours until I edited the script and added the "pause" at the end of it, then I could see that the script was telling me that couldn't find a file with the .sh extension and that this caused the device not to be found and with this I figured it was a driver or something missing so I went ahead and installed ADB, Fastboot and Google driver and right after that i ran the script again and it worked PERFECTLY, I hope this helps to anyone with the same problem as us, IDK if its OK to post the link to the xda thread I downloaded all adb, fastboot and driver I was missing if it is Ill post it gladly.
:D

too bad more people do not do this

the root for this phone was downloaded 950 times

and there is only 21 thanks on the OP

I know that people like to lurk and not join and such, but it is really not that hard to spend 5 minute to register and say thank you
 
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong I went to cwm by holding down the power button and pressing volume up but I'm not sure what to do
 
HELLO! I can not install the superuser because of this problem:

https://www.dropbox.com/sc/bsd2a1tq...0-bXwKT5a?no_redirect_to_collection_link=True

And the phone in recovery screen says below:

E: failed to open/data/media/supersu.zip (no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed

By the way, if "achievement" successfully rooting the phone, would lose the release???,Please help me, a video explaining step by step the root of concord 2 would be soo helpful for people like me

if you have an sd card in, take it out and try again
 
Ready thank you very much! but I have a small problem and I can not delete the factory apps, I have root access according to root checker and SuperSU installed, but I can not delete with ES file explorer and titanium backup.

By the way, do not know if there will be any cyanogen rom for now that this phone rooted?,I created a post to draw attention to it.
