[Completed] Can I root a ZTE without losing data? - XDA Assist

Having trouble finding info on rooting ZTE Fanfare. Saw an app that claims it works on this phone. Is it necessary to back up on my desktop first? I would love to remove bloatware, and perhaps add adfree app to remove ads, but I dont want to brick the phone. I am new at this so I would appreciate any advice. Thanks. P.S. I doubt I will ever need to flash the ROM. I just want to remove the pre-installed garbage I will never use, including Google Chrome.

There is no forum specifically for the ZTE Fanfare at this time but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you.

[Completed] [Q] Pre-rooted? Partial root?

I have the Hipstreet Titan 2. There is barely anything anywhere I have found, besides a hint these devices come partially rooted, & Super user needs simply be installed. I've done this, with nothing but errors as a result. Root checker confirms the device isn't properly rooted.
If it makes any difference, it was a 'kids' version (Kids mode app came preinstalled lol). My son just doesn't bother with it, so I thought I'd have a tinker rather than let it collect dust, but it looks like me and two other people have it in total. Only thing found on YouTube is tutorials on how to install apps from Google Play....
Does anyone else have this tablet, or know how to get full root?
Thanks

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
I think something less sinister than popups and redirects being built into the ROM is going on. The first thing to do is download a root checker app, and make sure you are not rooted without knowing about it (as it will affect the next step).
The other thing to do is a factory reset. Be aware, this will wipe apps downloaded, settings, and in some cases pictures taken and other files downloaded. It will, though, keep the operating system / firmware / ROM intact (which is a good thing).
Once that is done, and basic setup is done, don't install any apps yet. Browse around with the stock browser and see if any of the weirdness has returned. If it hasn't, then congratulations, it was a rouge app. If the weirdness persists, then it could be either a clever rouge app (virus), or you may have been right after all.
If it does persist, then please add a post to this thread:

[Completed] I need help! Android effected with virus.

Hello! I have (eSTAR GRAND HD QUAD CORE 3G [MID1058G] S/N: 1058142300251 , by downloading apps from internet i somehow managed to get a virus. I got this app called "clean master" which after searching for viruses it found some trojan viruses but even if i disable the service it would still work , and i wasin't abble to delete it because it was system app. that make my tab to lag and go insane( open diffrent windows, automaticlly scroling and stuff, typing by it self) and wierd apps like omniConnect , and porn apps has been installed. The problem is that even if i delete them after reboot or even hard reset the apps are still there and no effect at all! By doing so reaserch the thing i need to do is reinstall my rom but i can't even find a custom recovery it's probably because my tab is not that popular so popular creators like , clockworkMod , TWRP don't support my device. Then i found this forum know alot about this stuff like flashing roms and stuff so i decided to make a post.
If anyone know how to fix my problem with viruses please let me know.
If you say that i need to reinstall my rom please tell me how because im not really good with androids so i don't really know how to do it.
