hey my phone will not go into ftm mode it just takes screen shots... also how or where do i extract the files to because i had my phone plugged into the computer with the (installdriver) chosen and it will not let me extract the files to my phone

Do it while your phone is off :P
 
When I run root it just says " *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully *" , and then nothing happens on my phone, just freezes on the FTM. What do I do?
 
Take a deep breath... With phone off boot into ftm, then plug in usb (making sure drivers are installed) find the zip file you downloaded, extract files into new folder. Open folder and double click on the .bat file follow instructions and you now have root.

Updated... Phone will need to reboot twice into ftm

I have very similar situation. First attempt at rooting ZTE Avid 4G, failed (according to newly installed Root Checker), second attempt succeeded.
I then attempted to use the camera feature (which worked fine 4 hours ago) ---- NO GO ---
"Camera error Can't connect to the camera"

How to fix this ???

Factory Reset fixed this (& a few other problems due to rooting) - naturally, lost all data (accounts, contacts) -- but, at least, am again able to use camera & receive phone calls ! !
 
I was having problems rooting at first. I thought i would make the instructions a bit noob friendly. My issue was with the cd instructions. So I did this. I hope it helps. The different instructions will have an asterisk*

1: Boot phone into FTM (hold the Volume Down key and power on device).
2: Connect USB cable to your computer.
*3: Download ZTE Avid 4g root (MetroPCS).zip and unzip
to root of your C: hard drive.*
4: Open a command prompt (Start+R) type "cmd".
*5: From the command line type "cd C:\6" to get the newly created directory and
type root.*
6: While the phone reboots, be sure to hold the "Volume Down"
button to boot back into FTM. If it begins to boot normally, pull
the USB cable and power phone down to reattempt booting into FTM.
Once you're back in FTM, plug the USB cable back in and the script
should resume the process.
7: Once it's finished, let the phone boot into normal mode and
verify root access. I used "Root Checker Basic"

This should be a fairly straightforward process with minimal risk of bricking your device, however, I am definitely not responsible for any damages incurred during this procedure.

Prerequisites: ZTE device drivers for USB. (Connect your phone via the USB cable and choose the "Install Driver" connection type from your device).

1: Boot phone into FTM (hold the Volume Down key and power on device).
2: Connect USB cable to your computer.
3: Download View attachment 47664 and unzip.
4: Open a command prompt (Start+R) type "command".
5: From the command line, cd into the newly created directory and type root
6: While the phone reboots, be sure to hold the "Volume Down" button to boot back into FTM. If it begins to boot normally, pull the USB cable and power phone down to reattempt booting into FTM. Once you're back in FTM, plug the USB cable back in and the script should resume the process.
7: Once it's finished, let the phone boot into normal mode and verify root access. I used "Root Checker Basic".

Enjoy!

thank you very much for the root.it was my first time installing root.your guide was short,to the point,& EASY to follow.people like urself make this area of operation a whole lot more comfortable to get into.thank you again,ur work is respected & appreciated.now the fun part
 
hey peeps. for those that said they can't get it to work or it made your phone run slow I feel ya. I couldn't get it to work either and when I did finally think I had it working it made my fun run really slow and it still wasn't rooted. so I retried and retried and finally got it work. just followed the instructions for click root.bat but the only difference was my phone had to reboot 3 times not 2. first boot was when it said "file push" then it said rebooting. then 2 reboots afterwards. rooted! ty
 
Can not open Google Play without it crashing, will i be able to update my apps if no Google Play, could someone post unroot walkthrough just in case i want to go back to original,. Good Job kcurtis106 was easy to root
