To get root we must first get out of production mode else we can not remount the file system in read write mode.
I've got so far to get in recovery modebut saidly my mandedrijn language is so bad I have no idea what I did and it was kind of freaky. It looked like it was doing some self test or so but the buttons are totaly a mistery to me but ok I will try to explain.

now in this menu on my phone it's in chinees i think i don't know for sure. maybe someone has a english version or can translate it somehow.

If your like me and don't know what ur doing It might screw up your phone after i played with the buttons and menu i got all sorts of weird things but never pulled the battery cause that can just brick your device if you don't know what it's doing.
so I saw some gps wi-fi bluetooth gsm1 gsm2 mmc got a black screen with redblocks on the border screen changing colors low beeps high beebs stuff like that came by and i was just pressing buttons to get out of it hahaha.

Soooo be carefull Backup before you enter here. After restarting after all this my phone was reset to factory default. SD-card was not touched.
but no garanties here.

Advice to not do this unless you know Chinees Mandarin
1. Turn off your Acer Z2 (z120) Duo sim
2. when powered off hold the volume down button
3. while holding volume down press power button 5 sec till it vibrate
4. acer boot logo is shown still holding the volume down
5. Acer factory recovery or acer factory restore is shown you can release volume down.


Button Volume up/down move the highlighted up and down in the menu
Powerbutton does nothing. ( to get out of this menu select the last option in the list and touch the home button or pull battery )
on the front most right button or menu button does nothing on the first page of the menu.
on the front middle button or home button seems to apply as a enter.
on the front most left button or back button I'm not sure about this one yet.

To get out of the menu Select the lowest option and touch the home button.

It's interesting to be in this mode but it does not give root access to the file system just yet. We need to figure out if there is a option to
1. Change the language to anything but chinese ex. english, dutch, spanish, german, italian, french.
2. announce itself to the usb
3. backup the firmware

I'm very interested in rooting my Acer Z2 4.1.1 though i'm also happy with what it can already do for this price.
If you find something out keep us informed
