Do you need a sd card to do this? I just got the zte awe and have never rooted before I really want to root it but it seems a little confusing sorry for being a noob
 
A can not parse file message usually means the apk is corrupted (download it again).
i tried downloading it again and installing it with the system installer and total commander still wont parse i have tried both curtis's method and roadkills witch seem to work for all other virgin n800's so im wondering could it just be my phone?
 
U on stock ROM right if so there is a ROM u can down load and in stall with stock recoveries which will root and put a customs recoveries on for u
