ROOT AND CWM RECOVERY FOR ZTE CONCORD 2
This would not be possible with out the ASEC exploit by jcase, if it was not for people like him, developers like ShabbyPenguin and myself would not be able to do any work on these phones, so we are grateful to him and you should be as well, please show your gratitude to him in some way, even if it just a post in this thread saying thank you.
This exploit was taken from The Practical Android Exploitation document found here

It is a very interesting read, I recommend reading it if you are interested in Android security.
Thanks to Koush for making ClockWorkMod source code, he is an awesome guy.
Thanks to Chainfire for his SuperSU, he is awesome as well
ShabbyPenguin and I worked on the recovery and recovery install script, which is specific to this phone.
THE ZTE CONCORD 2 HAS SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ROOT ACCESS YOU CAN NOT RE-MOUNT THE SYSTEM PARTITION AS READ/WRITE WHEN YOU ARE BOOTED FROM THE "BOOT" PARTITION, THIS IS A FUNCTION OF THE BOOT LOADER AND IS BEYOND MY ABILITY TO RECTIFY
HOWEVER
IF YOU BOOT FROM THE "RECOVERY" PARTITION THE SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION IS OFF, SO THREW A CUSTOM RECOVERY WE CAN INSTALL OUR ROOT FILES AND MAKE MODS TO THE PHONE AND SUCH
THE IS ONLY FOR THE ZTE CONCORD 2 IF YOU USE THIS ON SOME OTHER PHONE AND BRICK IT, THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM FOR NOT READING
FOR THOSE THAT ARE USING THIS ON THE ZTE CONCORD 2, ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND INSTALLING A CUSTOM RECOVERY WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, AND IF YOU USE ROOT OR RECOVERY ACCESS TO DO SOMETHING ABNORMAL WITH YOUR PHONE AND BRICK IT, THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE
You need to have a Windows Computer for this.
You need to have USB debugging enabled on the phone
You need to have your phone plugged into your computer
You need to have the ZTE USB drivers installed on the computer, when you have your phone plugged into a Windows computer, there should be an emulated CD drive that has the USB driver on it, run the setup.exe to install the USB driver

NEW VERISION 3 WITH UPDATED BATCH SCRIPT BY twig123
https://mega.nz/#!GoFmmZQa!NuFYKdVivHU-1Fgk8-VEEG-45kN94QmBEy0tIoFpO4g
old version
ADA-ASEC-ROOT-CWM-V2
Extract it to some location
Double click the ADA-ASEC-Root.bat to install CWM and Root your phone
The phone should reboot a few times, and go into CWM, and install root
You will probably get a message in CWM about "Root access possible lost"
You can choose "Yes fix root"
Now you will have SuperSU installed, you will be rooted, and you will have Clock Work Mod installed
This is how you can boot into ClockWorkMod
From a powered off state hold Volume Up and Power Button and it will boot to CWM
