How to Root the ZTE KIS Pro

The ZTE KIS Pro is a low-end device designed to not burn a hole through your wallet and so comes with features that match its price, like a 1GHz CPU with 512MB RAM, a 3MP camera, and a 3.5 inch touchscreen display, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS.  We can now root this device with relative ease and if this is what you think will make your device better, read the guide below.

I.  Before You Begin

1.  Back up everything you feel is important.

2.  Charge your device to 75% or more before you begin.

3.  Make sure that the necessary drivers are in place before you start.

II.  Necessary Downloads

Impactor_0.9.13.zip [or the latest version available]

III.  Rooting the ZTE KIS Pro

1.  Extract Impactor_0.9.13.zip to a folder on your desktop.

2.  Enable USB Debugging on your device.  To do this, go to Settings > Development and tick the USB Debugging checkbox.

3.  Connect your device to your PC.  If your PC installs drivers at this stage, let it do so and then continue with the procedure.

4.  From the extracted folder, double-click on Impactor.exe.

5.  Choose # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su from the drop-down menu.

6.  Click on Start in the Cydia Compactor app.

7.  Once Cydia Compactor has finished its job, your device should be partially rooted.  To complete the rooting process, go to the Play Store and install the SuperSu app and Busybox.

To verify root access, download an app like Root Checker Lite from the Play Store or any other app that requires root privileges.
