Thankfully we have a very quick and easy method thanks to a developer that goes by the name of yaggermr. The Sequent can be seen as a little lackluster considering its $199 purchase price. Because of this, you should be looking to get the most out of it, and rooting is how to do that. It is, however, without question a step up from its predecessor which was also designed by the Chinese manufacturer ZTE, so hopefully, they can continue to push in the right direction.
Before you begin please ensure:
- You are only performing this root on a PC running Windows.
- You have installed the relevant ADB drivers. You can get these from the ZTE website.
- You have USB debugging switched on. To achieve this simply go to ‘Menu’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘Developer Options’ > ‘USB Debugging’.
- You understand the risks associated with rooting your device. Your warranty will be void and although it doesn’t happen often there is a small chance you may brick your device.
