Help ZTE Speed root?

I finally get my phone temporally rooted. I Installed Antutu videotester and Kingroot.
Keep Antutu videotester running in front and Kingroot on background.
Now I need a way to make it perminant.

Try this with Kingroot

Download Antutu Benchmark and start testing
Wait until it hits 10% then open up Kingroot
Then wait, this sometimes brute forces it to root.

Has anyone achieved perminant root yet?
My root was lost even before the phone restarted, and there was no kinguser installed.

The first thing you need to do when temp Rooted is to grab a copy of your system.img (use Online Nandroid or ADB & terminal), boot.img, recovery.img (use Flashify or ADB & terminal) then upload it somewhere and provide a link so a Developer can use those files to build a custom recovery and ROMs. I can make stock ROMs with permanent Root/SuperSu but we'll need someone else to compile the recovery to flash them
 
Could you tell me the ADB & terminal commands?

After I got temp Rooted, I was able to install root-explorer which I can not install before. Then I copied build.prop to SD card, and make modification. When I want to copy it back, I got the phone is not rooted message. Then I found there is no supersu or kinguser installed.

I had no luck to re-root the phone yet. I am planning to reset the phone and then re-root it.

In /dev/block/platform directory, I found 2 folders 7824900.sdhci and 7864900.sdhci.
In 7824900.sdhci, there are folders by-name and by by-num
In 7864900.sdhci, there is only folder by-num.

In /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name , I found out that
boot -> mmcblk0p23
recovery -> mmcblk0p24
system -> mmcblk0p31

So I can use following commands to get the img files.
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 > /mnt/sdcard/boot.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 > /mnt/sdcard/system.img

Please confirm if it will work before I can try it.

I suck at terminal commands.. @SuperR ?
 
I am able to get temp root more frequently by running latest kingroot on phone and kingoroot from PC at same time.
But the root is really limited. The kingroot manages root right for apps, but it with kingroot authorization, I can not copy files to system folder, and can not perform the cat operation which I mentioned.

Kingroot can uninstall system apps though.

Then use the apps I mentioned in a previous post to get said files while in temp Root
 
It does not work, both Online Nandroid and Flashify complaints the device is not rooted. the root check also says it is not rooted.
It seems only kingroot get root right, no any other app has root access, even kingroot give them the right.

Thank you for your help.
I got new progress. This time, I run kingroot on phone first, wait to it reached 20%, start kingoroot from PC. After kingroot obtained the root access, kingoroot remove the root and re-root the phone. Both sucessed.
Now, root checker passed. Both Online Nandroid and Flashify can run.
I got system backup in both TWRP and clockworkmod.
But I can not find boot.img, recovery.img backed up by Flashify.
Flashify says it is on Sdcard, but I can not find it anywhere.
