ok first of all, cwm doesnt root, it requires the phone to already be rooted if im not mistaken
...youd think i would know considering i wrote it, but anyway
you are running windows im assuming?
and you made sure to go into the settings and turn on usb debugging and all that stuff?

and in order to check and see if the phone is correctly connected to adb, you can go to the command prompt and run
adb devices
to see if its listed, if you dont see anything on the list then its not connected to adb properly, it may be connected to the computer as a mtd or whatever but that doesnt mean it will work with adb

its ok, command prompt is in the start menu
all programs
accessories
command prompt
and make sure to right click and hit "run as administrator" if youre on win 7
to continue from here tho we need to know where you installed adb to
but before we go through all this crap, did you download the drivers from the zte website? and enable usb debugging in the settings menu on the phone?
newest official zte drivers found here

probably not, doesnt need it tho. the rooting package includes adb. the problem is most likely the pdanet drivers or that the phone is not in usb debugging mode
did you turn on usb debugging in the phones settings? if not that is why it wont work
and also, pdanet may or may not work with adb, but it WONT work with fastboot, which is used in the install of cwm, get the zte drivers

it is said to work for the rooting, but you still havent answered a very important question
did you enable usb debugging on the phone?

k
now when you are running the runme.bat file, are you trying to run it directly out of the zip file without copying it somewhere else first? and when you copied it did you copy the "files" folder with it?

k just making sure, gotta go through the normal check list ya kno. but if you still have issues after installing the new drivers, try uninstalling pdanet, and if that doesnt work, try uninstalling pdanet
but heres a question, did the phone restart when you ran my cwm installer?

no, you have to use cwm to install roms, they will normally be in zip form and you will put them onto your sdcard and choose the install update zip from sd card option
to tell if the root installer worked though, you can go into your programs list and see if you have the superuser app installed, might be called SU, but its a black box with a picture of the green android guy, if that is there you are rooted
to check and see if clockworkmod is installed you can just turn your phone off, hold the volume down button, and then press and hold the power button, then dont let go untill the black screen with nothing but the android guy on it goes away, and the recovery screen pops up, it should say clockworkmod 6.0.2.7 at the top and bottom and have a picture of a gear with a hat on

np, and if you want custom roms make sure to install my cwm as well, id recommend the last link with the auto installer package unless you feel like learning command line

Alright I found this at radio Shack for 99 dollars so I had to get it plus my of warp headphone port got fried some how so.... But I have a general understanding of rooting I rooted the first warp so with that said could someone answer a few of my questions... To root the sequence I need the runmebat that's in another thread on cool now from here would I need to set up adb or just plug in the phone and put on usb debugging? I want to get this rooted tonight because I see shin is getting ready to release his rom
