Root Root for Concord II - failed with Impactor, VROOT, Towelroot, baidu, framaroot or SRSroot

Hello

I have also an issue for root my ZTE device (Not the same ZTE Blade Vec 4G)

I have try most root tools like Towelroot kingroot vroot etc...

The phone won't boot in fastboot mode.

Have you try a adb reboot bootloader on your phone ? Fastboot mode work ?

What is your kernel version ?

On my device it's : Linux version 3.4.0 (gelisha@SCL-7SH154) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT

no luck yet on a root? I tried a few and came up with nothing. I bought this phone as something to play with so I'm willing to try anything. if someone has any ideas

I'm not sure if this is important or not since I'm no developer and it could already be a well known feature that's hidden, but I have unlocked developer mode on this phone. Happened by dumb curiosity. If you go to settings, about phone and then click on software version 3 times, it'll say "You are now 4 steps away from being a developer". Continue clicking until it says "You are now a developer" and it unlocks Developer Options in settings. It appears at bottom after you exit and re-enter settings. Is this a new discovery? Or am I just a Tool? LOL

cool :D can't beat it for 20 bucks. I got oen just to play around with. Haven't activated it yet. I'm trying to get my mom to move away from the old flip phones. THought maybe i can get her to move over to this one eventually.
 
I sure wish we could root this phone! I can't afford another one and i can't stand having unrooted device! Somebody, please help us! I am going CRAZY!!!

Patience. They're moving forward. Devs are finally getting devices in hand. I know how you feel though. I've been tempted to post an online trade for an LG Motion even though I hate the small screen and it has over 100MB less of physical RAM. With root, this could be a decent phone.
 
Bump again. Highly anticipating a root to this phone. Good luck to all who are working on it. Our best wishes are with you.
 
srsroot just added z730 to the supported rooted devices on sep 10th.

I do not yet have a concord ii, but maybe someone can verify that this works now.
 
So good news and bad news.

bad news? No idea on when could come. This is a low key device so there isnt really a big need to "burn" an exploit on it, not when rooting is getting harder and harder. by making it public it would indeed allow oems to patch it and then limit how many devices it could root.

Now i know what you are thinking, "But shabby, you said there was good news... so wtf?"

Well i guess it depends on what you consider good news? I'm selling my ZTE Concord 2. Now i know they go for brand new on metropcs.com for only 20, but this is a mint condition concord 2. Like i didnt even bother to remove the plastic film on it. i took some photos of it as i thought perhaps someone here would be interested in purchasing it.
