Having root access on the ZTE Beeline Pro is like granting your device full administration permissions. Our devices don’t come with administrator permissions out of the box because it’s the only way Android developers know how to prevent malware attacks on your device. It is still possible to download malware from the Google Play Store as soon as you buy your device, but the malware cannot go anywhere.

The reason for that is because when we don’t have root access on the OS the apps cannot read each others data. They are isolated and in their own yards so to speak. That means you can prevent any malware from getting additional access to other apps — and other apps which might have important data like your banking for example. While that sounds great for staying safe, it also prevents us from using many of the best apps out there. Most great apps require having this root access to the file system in order to work and without it we cannot install those apps.

The Files You Need

Rooting the ZTE Beeline Pro Smartphone

  1. Download the KingRoot APK from the link above directly to your computer.
  2. Move that same KingRoot file over to the desktop on the computer.
  3. Point your device to the Menu > Settings > Security > Unknown Sources and enable that Unknown Sources option. Now you can install any app outside of the Google Play Store.
  4. Connect the ZTE Beeline Pro to the computer using the USB cable.
  5. Copy the KingRoot APK file to the root of the ZTE Beeline Pros internal SD card. That means keep it on the topmost folder and not in any sub folder.
  6. Disconnect the ZTE handset from the computer.
  7. Install that KingRoot APK file on your device. You might want to check out some file managers for that job.
  8. Once done, navigate to your apps section and find the KingRoot app on your device.
  9. Tap the Root button on the inside of the app.
  10. Now the universal one click rooting tool will take over and attempt to grant the rooting permissions on your device.
  11. Wait until you see it reach 100% and then reboot your device manually the way you would normally reboot it.
  12. Now install the root checker app from the Google Play Store and see if it says your device is rooted.
  13. You are now ready to install every app on the Google Play Store which requires root access to the file system.
