Root Three Step No PC Required Root,Recovery,Rom Guide [ZTE Awe Only]

Okay. Yes I used this thread to get help rooting my phone as well. I can't tell you how many different rooting methods I tried. None worked. Turned out I had the updated Bo7 stock and that's why I couldn't root. So once I downloaded a zip file someone referred me to and got back to the Bo4 stock, I then used the kingo app and connected my phone to the computer and literally clicked one button and my phone was rooted. It really is that simple. Amd I, like you, just wanted to be able to enable the wifi hotspot thing that my carrier seemed to block on my phone. I had to download a third party app to get the hotspot to work though but it's okay now. I got what I wanted. My hotspot. (: btw just for an extra thing. I don't know if you'll run into the same problem I did but my wifi and 3G were acting up after root. I got it fixed now though. Just let me know if the same thing happens with you. And if you find that you still can't get the tethering thing to work, just ask me for the app I use. (: good luck!
 
Wow. Glad to see some solid progress. You guys are amazing. Unfortunately for me a factory wipe would negate the need for my root. Trying to recover deleted files...

The factory reset won't exactly negate the need for root, it'll just wipe all your data so you'll have to redownload all of your apps/whatever your reason for root is.
 
djmixer...that didnt work only bcuz i got to the" apply update external storage" and the update.zip wasnt on my sd card nemore along with other apps i had on there were gone. But vids n pics were fine...so now what?? This seems more n more complicated..hmmm

Make sure the zip is on the SD card I think u have to manually move it there I done this procedure in five mins b07 to b04 root recovery ROM very simple
 
Yeah, what Devil said. If the zip is in the internal storage the wipe will delete it, but if its on the SD it'll be fine. I made that mistake when I was first installing. If both internal and external aren't showing on your PC change the usb connection to Mass Storage.

I never wiped I just flashed and every thing was fine

When you say apps on the SD card do you mean you had the apks and those were deleted? And where did you place the update file?
 
I just said it was on my SD card..i also made sure before the wipe/factory reset. So what do u mean keep it on the root of sd card. I must b really dumb.. wth guys lol

All u need is the zip root master and recovery place on root of SD card turn ur phone off hit the volume down and power at the same time once u see the green android let go of power one u see the stock recovery go to install click on zip and hit install zip let it do it magic just worry bout the zip for now just keep avoiding the new update once b04 is complete
