Warning It's your phone if you break it blame yourself. I can't help you if this script bricks your phone. I have used and it worked great.
After a successful root it is recommended to Flash a Recovery and make a nandroid backup. BE CAREFUL. REALLY.

You will need the proper adb drivers for this to work .

[GUIDE] Checking your drivers and adb connection
by Junkie2100 Read has some helpful tips and troubleshooters

How to root
1. Put your device in usb debug mode from developer options setting menu.
(try different usb modes at least once, generally "charge only" mode is what is recommended but each person gets different resuslts)recommended by Junkie2100
2. Download DoomLord Script and extract it to a folder. DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip
3. Connect your phone via usb and make sure you have adb drivers already installed.
4. Open the extracted folder run the runme.bat
5.Click any key to start the script the device will reboot be patient can take a couple minutes.
6. After script completes hit any key script should close you now have root.

i tried and did not do anything. what i did wrong?

mauricio1717

did not work.

mauricio1717

a little help here please.

unclejimmyb

Didn't work for me either. Can you post a detailed how-to along with a link to the correct adb drivers? It would be greatly appreciated.

codyjohnson198

Worked great! According to busybox installer, Im rooted!!! Woot Woot! Thanks guys!

codyjohnson198

can also get msl with alogcat. nice

yaggermr

Without any details about what happened when you ran the script it is difficult to help. High percent chance that adb drivers are not installed or not installed correctly Youtube or xda developers have tutorials on installing adb drivers. I installed adb drivers about two years ao and don't remember the process. Also might help to put display timeout to thirty minutes and make sure allow install from unknown sources in security settings. Added adb drivers help link in the tutorial at the top of this page.

Is there something like Clockworkmod as a ROM manager and installer I can use? The stock ROM manager won't let me browse my entire directory. :-( If so, how do i go about installing it?

yaggermr

No currently there is no working cwm or a way to flash a rom or make a nandroid backup. I have tried a little to get cwm working but no results. There are currently no roms to flash.

mauricio1717

the link to download the driver do not work.

mauricio1717

Here try one of these many links. I changed the link in the tutorial. I am sure one of these will work.

Random FAQ:

I installed the driver and am still getting errors when I plug my phone in, "device unknown" etc

...Try turning the phone on. (Derp, self.)

I ran this and it got stuck waiting for the phone to be on!

The bloody phone needs to have its screen on the whole darned time.

What if I have a second copy of ADB installed and on my DOS or Windows path?

I had to make a modification to the DoomLord script to get it to work with my PC, which already had ADB installed and part of the Windows path:

1. renamed files\adb.exe to adb.exe.bak (optional)
2. right click -> edit runme.bat
3. find > replace
4. files\adb
5. to
6. adb
7. re-ran script (which immediately used global ADB command).

This shouldn't be necessary for everybody, but it helped me.

still having trouble with getting pc to recognize this phone

peasarecool

try another pc and see what happens

rocketman228

ok I rooted my phone and was messing around with other recoveries and lost my stock recovery. Now when I press power and down button all i get is a black screen with an android guy on it. I lost the 3e recovery that the phone came with. Any suggestions or instructions to get this back ///

Thanks Shawn

groncki32

i rooted my zte warp sequent with the root guide and my device now reboots after hitting the volume button while device is on and has trouble connecting to the boost mobile network and the phone app won le me display dial pad.

sean82007

do it again then, im being serious sometimes it takes a few times to get it rooted

animusfl

If all else fails check the cwm sub threads, there's a zte factory reset tool

chrisjv3393

So just to make sure, b4 i brick my phn.....does this root fully work? Nd has anyone bricked their phn by doing this?

chrisjv3393

nvm it perfectly fine for me... thanks bro.. now to install CWM

Dementei

Worked for me, first time rooting. Waiting on stable CWM release, with working microphone.

downthemachine

Mic doesn't matter for cwm, mic now works on my kernel

Use the update tool posted on ZTE's site put your phone in FTM mode and reset it to factory.

so i tried to run the script and all it says is "waiting for device"
i disconnected/connected the phone. restarted the phone, restarted my computer, unplug/plugged phone and now i dont know why it wont work. anybody have any suggestions on how to get it to identify my device?
i already have the correct adb drivers installed too

Is there a way to use this method in Linux? Maybe convert the bat to sh using the same adb commands? I started converting the file but I am terrified to try it for fear of ruining my brand new phone.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Make sure you have debugging enabled in developer options

gamikzone

gamikzone

On another note i already had the sdk installed but i went ahead and used the sdk manager to uninstall sdk tools -platform tools and google usb drivers and reinstalled them but im still have this path issue.

uknow

Try reinstalling device drivers

I have converted the runme.bat to runme.sh for Linux users. I have NOT tested this file to achieve root for this phone as I am scared of bricking. Could someone take a look at it and let me know if it should work? I don't have access to a windows box, so I am kinda screwed if I can't get it up and running in Linux. Thanks :-)

edit: here is the new file. I am fairly sure it will work and will test later and report back

The Linux script does NOT work for me as is. It gives me read-only filesystem errors and will not push the files.

However, I got the phone rooted using the method in this post on a 32-bit Windows 7 box Thank you very much for the wonderful tutorial and download !

Observations: The Superuser.apk is an outdated version (according to Play Store) and I was notified of an update. I proceeded with the update and everything seemed to get slow. My wifi connection went from 8Mbps to 2, opening apps took 10 seconds, games were choppy, etc. Things seem back to normal after an uninstall and reboot. Anyone else have this happen?

After re-installing again it seems to be ok. I also updated the su binary through Superuser app with no problems so far

benjiu3

its still not detecting my device. i installed and reinstalled the adb drivers and still nothing. can someone make like a youtube video showing the entire process lol i need help

benjiu3

it still says "waiting for device" i even reinstalled the adb drivers but still nothing. can someone please help me

superr

Is your phone in Media Transfer mode? Mine only connects to adb in this mode. Hope it helps

edit: also make sure you have installed the phone drivers. I used the ones on the phone by choosing PC Software mode, installed the drivers, changed to Media Transfer mode, adb connected

i did exactly what you said, and it still says waiting for device.

Did you follow the link in the OP to get ADB setup correctly?

benjiu3

you mean the link that ultimately takes me here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108

if so then i did half of that. i installed the adb driver that way but i didnt install the android bootloader interface driver. is that whats missing?

benjiu3

i found out what the problem was. i didnt restart my pc for all the changes to take effect. now im rooted yay!! but now what. how do i remove all my bloatware

superr

I think we wait for deodex instructions to remove bloatware
