I think MCarek has summarised the steps already. According to what you wrote, you seem to install drivers after clicking the first button of the program.
What I did was the other way round. I plugged in the phone (the phone is on) to PC, installed the drivers. After that, opened rooting program, clicked the first button. The phone then restarted. This was how I rooted my phone.
Best of luck!

sorry im not explaining correctly. i do exactly like the instructions. i plug my phone to computer, put it in debugging mode and in install driver mode. i install drivers. i reboot the computer. i start the chinese root file. i click the first butoon. but nothing happen on my phone, it does not reboot. i do the same on my laptop, and there, when i click the first button in chinese file, my phone vibrate and stop. but it doesn't reboot. in driver pannel (the screen where you see your peripherics), i see that i have a android that doesn't have corerct driver. but i can't install any ,even by Microsoft update online. this is why i asked what driver i have to install?
to restart the phone, i need to remove batery and replace it.
thanks.

Hi, I just got my ZTE Grand SII. It was delivered with the B04 and I'd like to update it.

I wanted to download the root-tool. But the rar that was downloaded was corrupt. Or at least my winrar wasn't able to open it. Is there another place to download this tool?

Thanx in advance 4 the answers

Root worked out, after updating the usb port an trying new ones. I installed the Slim Rom with gapps. It suddenly worked. The only thing that I find strange is that I had a few more point in antutu in the b04. But that is not important. The telephone runs, that is more important. Thanx a lo for the rom :cyclops:

    13. Turn your phone off and enter the recovery by holding volume up + power button until the phone vibrates , then release the power button.
    14. You are in recovery now , go to the second option , than choose the first option , select your file , than choose the first option, this will install the google apps.

    Danger ahead

    Hello everybody,

    I wanted to warn you, I followed this guide and after doing the root procedure my phone is bricked DEAD.

    Won't turn on, won't do anything, not even charghing when power plug is connected, I just killed my phone after about 30 minutes of ownership. :/

    PLEASE WAIT A LITTLE BIT BEFORE DOING THIS.

    My phone is a grey ZTE Grand S II (NBA Edition, from what I see on the box...).

    Does anybody here have an idea HOW I could get this back from the dead? :angel:



    *** UPDATE ***

    I was able to make it work!! Sorry for sounding so alarmed before... I was in panic mode.

    If this doesn't work at first please try it on another PC, or switch USB port, and make yourself a big favor by using this:

    http://visualgdb.com/UsbDriverTool/

    to install your Android ADB driver.

    The ZTE Grand S II (S291) is a GREAT handset and I hope the devs get interested because it's one of the BEST prcie/value ratio around...

    Got it for 280 € on Aliexpress...

    Thank You.

    Yes, that's what I did! Then the software asked me to replace adb_usb.ini and perform adb kill-server, which I did...

    C:\Windows\system32>adb kill-server

    C:\Windows\system32>adb devices
    * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
    * daemon started successfully *
    List of devices attached
    d70ec4e0 device


    I can confirm USB debugging is enabled and my connection mode is "Connect to PC software".

    I checked and re-did everything twice and still, adb reboot bootloader makes my phone die: screen black, no lights and won't even turn on unless I remove the battery...

    If I'm doing something wrong, I really don't know what it is :(

    Ideas?

    Hi Jozco,

    sure you're right, I edited my post 'cause all is doing good now, this phone blows my mind!

    The only issue I'm having is that Google Sync isn't updating my contacts... so I had to migrate them manually from my old phone, is it like that for you?

    Thanks!

    BTW you are right the phone is just great :eek:

    I solve the problem ! When my phone shut off i goes to windows driver and install the driver adb again ! You have to do that two times, before lauch "中兴天机S2一键ROOT_Recovery" and when you phone shut off.
