Root Root and CWM Recovery for ZTE Concord 2

I've got decent WiFi. I read a post somewhere recently that recommended formatting my sd card vfat would help. Gonna try that. Otherwise, maybe I'll try the other rom and see what happens.
 
Awesome! I released the J011y Xper!ment2 ROM, comes with FOTAkill.apk (blocks updates) and further MetroPCS debloated, I hope.
 
JR#2 just stalls out on the zte splash screen for me. I have the T-Mobile iteration. Idk if that has anything to do with it. Re-installed the first one, still works great. Love it.

I don't think Tmo is the issue, I had a similar problem with the first JX! and it's from removing certain metro bloat, but I had someone on your end (@The-Truth) testing constantly until we found a happy medium of debloat and still maintain functionality. This was technically my last debloat try while adding the FOTAkill.apk to stop update nags. Ty- for letting me know! I appreciate it. Just flash the FOTAkill.zip to make use of that app if needed. I'll remove the bad ROM and link. [emoji6]

Edit: forgot to post the FOTAkill.zip, working on it now..
 
Still kicking em out a bcrichster? you're the man bro I swear. Wow kinda wish I still had my concord 2 sittin around so I could check Jolly Xper!ment 2 out!!! Even happyer I snagged this device on a wimb when I did. Sure have learned a ton since you decided to help an Ol' boy out!!! & I'm not the man so being the first to come up with Kingo as a working One click root apk for this device and flashing CWM with rashr wich didn't hold me up when I needed a custom recovery with no flash apk but rashr up for the task that I could find anyway due to SU rights still tickles me man!!! Again Thank you for helping a guy a lil green around the ears with all you have BCRichster!!! You rock man!!!
 
Hey guys, im having a problem, after I successfully rooted my concord 2 with kingoroot and reboot my device, my root goes away. Does anyone have a fix? Would be super helpful.

Yes! That's only temp-Root. You need to use Rashr.apk or Flashify to install CWM so you can flash a ROM with built in permaRoot.. Like my Stock ROMs or my tweaked J011y Xper!ment. Cwm will be your phone's lifesaver and enabler cuz your system is "write protected". In fact, I collaborated with @The-Truth to do those ROMs.. He may be good assistance for getting you where ya need to be and give those ROMs a try.. The Xper!ment ROM is as debloated as you'll be able to get without System crashing, plus also deodexed for the possible use of Xposed installer, which many ppl love. [emoji41]

Make sure your downloaded CWM & ROM is on external SD (sdcard1). Use Flashify to install the CWM recovery

then reboot into recovery, wipe Data/Factory reset, install the ROM you want.
Here's my J011y Xperi!ment http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7093067
That CWM may not be touchscreen usable so use the volume buttons to move the selector and the Pwr button as "enter"

im trying to find the cwm i am suppose to download and cant quite find where it is
 
Download the zip and extract the recovery.img from the zip and use Flashify to install it. No PC needed. Go from there..
