Oh I found the phone as well last week on the base site and thought it was interesting until I saw what kind of interface zte really uses
It's been available from february I think. Whenever I'm looking for info about it I always end up on pages for the SF2 which got quite annoying so I lost interest.
ZTE really has made a mess of the names.

Thanks, I(and others) with this phone would appreciate it.

I tried SuperOneClick and UnlockRoot and they didn't work. Maybe the bootloader is locked?

Do you know how to use fastboot?  and can you get the device into bootloader ?

it should not be to hard to get you a working root if so,

Can you use ADB?  if so can you do a 'mount' and post the results here... I might be being thick but I cant work out if its a MTD device or EMMC

Can't seem to be able to mount but it's a MTD device judging by cat. Wow that sounds weird

Give this a go..

Flash it in the usual way, let me know if it boots, and if it does can you try to do a backup?  and anything else you'd like to try...

Thanks, it worked! The recovery works and the phone boots up normal. I just made a nandroid backup of the stock rom, if you want I can upload it.

EDIT: Flashed SuperUser and the phone is now officially rooted.

Actually it shouldn't be too hard to port a Huawei g300 rom to the Blade II (same cpu, chipset, gpu, resolution)

When you say flash it the usual way do you mean by adb?
