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:

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.
S.1Yes, 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?
S.
I really don´t know :/ , when you can try it on another PC...1
I really don´t know but i think yes i had duplicite contacts , because i updated from .vcf file from my old phone.
BTW you are right the phone is just great
