Root How to root ZTE Score using Zergrush

I already have zergrush installed on my phone but I need to remove it. I cant get the downloads to work for the uninstall. Does anyone have a link that works please? :confused:

Plug your phone into your CPU and enable USB storage and delete it that way.

umm hard to uniinstall sumtin thats not installed. Zergrush is an exploit not an app, thus it installs nothing. Now a script or SoC installs su and superuser.apk so you have perm root n apps can be given su access. ;)

The file/exploit can be put on the external sd.
Was not exactly sure what he was referring to though. Figured that's what was meant:)
 
Okay, my phone is now rooted.

One question: how can I get my SD card to see all 4 gigs? Right now it's only seeing one, since the rest is reserved for their stupid music service.

Thanks.

Haven't played with it too much, but here are some pretty simple system apps I've been able to remove so far..

Obviously, if you remove the app, you remove what the app does, but if you use another app in place of it, you shouldn't need it.

Books
Bubble Bash
Cricket 411
Documents To Go
Email
Gmail
Home screen tips
Music
MuveMusic
Poynt
Sound recorder
Storefront
Uno

I should be able to play with it more later tonight and I'll update when I can.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
 
Have an alternative that may work for you-will get it posted up when I get home later:thumbup:
 
I might be reviving an old thread, but I'm new here and I have a bit of a problem it looks like.

Followed all the instructions, and I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes and nothing is happening...

Got all the way down to:

C:\Documents And Settings\TsarProdigy\desktop\Zerg rush boot>adb install ./androidterm.apk
1159KB/s <92780 bytes in 0.078s>
pkg: /data/local/tmp/androidterm.apk

Nothing is happening...
Also, I'm doing this on a different PC as the one connects to the internet has temperamental USB ports that occasionally turn off...

Yes, Debugging is on.
Though this has given me a notification: (on the phone)
SD Card safe to remove: you can safely remove SD card.

I'm too afraid to do anything, as I don't want to brick my phone...
Help?

Just run the ZergRushTempRoot.bat file. You shouldn't need to mess with the rest in the folder. Also if your interested I have modified a Zerg Rush to also flash the recovery for this phone However this has only been tested on the cricket version as rooting methods for the scores seem slightly different. The cricket version seems to me at least to be slightly easier. Anyway here's the link to the modified zerg. There's also some fairly detailed instructions on how to use it at the post :-)

Modified Zerg Root Rush to also flash recovery could use more testing

Hope this helps :-)

Glad to hear you got rooted :thumbup:

As far as tether goes it's $10 more a month and apparently a friend of mine could only sign up for it online or over the phone. Not in the store :confused: otherwise as far as I know there's no work around sorry. Hope this helps :)
