Rooting the Kycera Hydro Xtrm
Starting with android 4.1.2 - I used "safe root" and it worked flawlessly. 1 click go type of thing.
Got my copy from rootjunkysdl
Other methods did not work out for me.
Just thought I'd share.
I know this is an old thread about an old model, but...
I just got one (used, reset) and would like to root it somehow.
(Kyocera Hydro Edge, C5215, Android 4.1.2)
Tried looking there but did not see this tool:

Tried everything I have or could find on this phone:
Framaroot in several versions, root genius, Bin4ry, srsroot, z4root, 360root, superOneclick, towelroot.
The only thing which sort of worked was iRoot, which just installs Kingroot.
I say 'sort of' because Kingroot is protecting itself so well that changing the SU away from the foreign one with SuperSUme did not work.
I hope someone here will point me to a working method so that I can avoid Kingroot.
Thanks.
Best I've been able to do so far is via vRoot/Kingroot - but no way I can manage to replace it with SU or SuperSU afterwards.
Haven't found any 3rd party ROM for this model nor even a recovery specifically for it.
At least after gaining root I was able to de-krapify it though.
Anyone who has found better ways & tools & may be willing to share will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone has tried rooting their Canadian Notes. I'd try it on one of the Notes at my store if I could.
Methods that might work:
S2 Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414&highlight=unroot
This is supposed to work with all Samsung devices
Super One Click 2.3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
There are a couple other Skyrocket methods that could be attempted too. But I don't see why these 2 methods wouldn't work. If someone could try them out and report back, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.
Can't comment on the first method since I don't feel like patching in sketchy kernels, but Super One Click is a big pile of fail on this one, as is the zergrush exploit in general. Both just crash out and fail to get permissions.

Hmm... It probably won't be any different for the AT&T version. I'll give every method a shot though.
I'm going to wait to see if someone will release a kernel that already has root more than likely.

Well when it gets here I'm going to use SuperOneClick 2.3.3 and do temp root and see if it works so I don't break it lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Using the Canadian Telus version - SGH-I717D - the latest Super One Click 2.3.3 fails when attempting the zergrush exploit.
Using the S2 Root mentioned above (without flashing anything extra, mind you), it says:
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SGH-I717D
ROM Build: SGH-I717D-user 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD 207 release-keys
...click "Root Device"...
Checking Device Connection...
Device Connected!
Restarting ADB Server...
Checking ROOT Access...
Superuser Request Has Been DENIED! Aborting...
if I remember correctly, many users of the galaxy s series had trouble rooting at one point because of the signature verification in the 3e recovery. So if the note has the same recovery you won't be able to root using super one click until you remove this verification process. Can anyone try rebooting into recovery to check what recovery they are using.

Hi guys,
I have my note in hand, just gotta run a few errands and I will get root going shortly.
Easiest method will probably be building a kernel with root already included, anyone know of a stock ROM floating about, that would make it a bit easier Reply @ my post in ROM dev forum, thanks

Ways to get confirmed:

If SuperUser popup comes out.. you are done rooting..

Don't call an app junk just because it does not fully work on a particular phone. It actually does work for most things.
The recoveries that u mentioned are just modified versions of the recovery built into Rom Manager.
But of course u knew that!
Try the photon torpedo direct method it will tell you if your rooted and also can apply a proper root if your root install went bad.

How to root my Tecno T3
please I need to root my tecno t3. I've tried all one click solutions and they didn't work
To gain root access, you have to perform the root method by installing POOT apk and MINISTRO II apk.
Download: Poot Tecno n3
Download: Ministro II library(from Google play store)
To ROOT your TECNO N3 is simple
Just install POOT apk to internal memory and run the apps. it will require you to install MINISTRO II, you'll get -error like "update minstro library", just update through google play store.
Then proceed again to the next step. After installing and updating all the libraries of QT, your phone will automatically reboot(or reboot manually)
You'll get two buttons
1. "press here to poot"
2. "built in root check
Click on the first button to poot and wait till you have 3 buttons
, That means you are now rooted.
You can now complete the process by downloading super user application from the play store

3- uninstall pook and ministro
4-reboot N3 and reinstall pook and ministro II
5-Make sure you have internet connection so as to update ministro binary
6-restart your N3 after the update
7-unmount sdcard and run pook
8-select the 1st option and wait. if pook display install superuser then u hv sucessfully root your N3.
If phone vibrate n goes blank then remove battery n put it back. power the fone, as soon as it shows instaling sdcard quickly run pook and n press the first option.

This is originally shared by our beloved friend yosoBR , thank him if u get anything helpful
There is an app called kingo app through which u can simply root ur device by one click. And the most attractive part is ur device status will remain official after rooting and u can unroot also using that tool. This app is working with the very latest firmware update from samsung.
u may download it from http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm
Warning: Though it is safe but do it at ur own risk. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.
Good thanks for sharing...

FAQ 1
1. Can i have the warrant after rooting?
Some manufacturers assert that rooting voids your device’s warranty. However, rooting will not actually damage your hardware. If you use Kingo software to root your phone and will not delete any pre-installed apps. You can “unroot” your device any time with Kingo Android Root, and manufacturers won’t be able to tell if it’s been rooted.

If your sole purpose is to get your phone easily rooted just to use apps that need root access, without flashing cwm via odin, kingo app is the right choice. It's damn easy. Install it to your computer, connect the phone, hit root in desktop application (kingo app). That's it. All process is done by kingo app and you get supersu on your phone followed by a single boot hardly within 4 mins. It also keeps the phone status as official.

If you are already on mj7 right now you have no root. Hasn't been cracked. If you are on a previous version then there are root guides in android dev. And a way to keep root as you flash up to latest version.

Head over to this thread -- very good tutorial that I followed this morning. It worked for me, and I am running the MJ7 fully rooted now.
I have run into one problem though -- and it may be something that has been solved but I haven't found it yet. I cannot get Safestrap to install recovery because the MJ7 "update.zip" that I installed implements SELinux and Samsung has a security policy set that keeps blocking Safestrap's attempt to install recovery.
I have no doubt that someone has -- or will -- figure out how to defeat that, though.
I'm at work and haven't had a chance to look at the video but is this root from stock? Or from 4.2.2 previous root.

The method starts you off by re-flashing factory stock (no-wipe) MI1, then using the Root de la Vega method to gain root but not substantially change any system files. Then you have to have SuperSU Pro, because you have to enable it's "Survival" mode to keep root -- it's $2.49 on the Play store. Be forewarned -- OTA RootKeeper isn't updated for 4.3, so it won't do the job. Once you have Pro's "Survival" mode enabled, you have to swap out one file in /system/bin with the one listed in the guide.
Once you do those things, you can either take the OTA as normal, or use adb to sideload it if you have the "update.zip" file saved. When it reboots after update, you will be in 4.3.3 MJ7 fully rooted. I did it this morning, and found out that you want to follow ALL the steps rather than shortcut since you're already rooted. The update checks the SHA1.digest of a LOT of files, and if you have frozen or uninstalled any of them in Titanium (for example) it does change the SHA1.digest of the file. I ran into the problem because I had FWUpdate.apk uninstalled, then reinstalled to get the OTA -- but the update failed the first time because FWUpdate.apk had changed. So, after starting again (at step 1 this time), everything went through slicker than snot on a doorknob.
Looks as though you have to be rooted to begin with. Because it says KEEP your root. We are trying to root from stock.

Nope -- hasn't been achieved yet. I was lucky that my phone came with ME7; I rooted it then and disabled updates until I saw that the MJ7 enables the new AWS band, and is a full upgrade to 4.3.3
I also develop for Android, and have learned to never install an update from Verizon without FULLY researching what it does -- is it worth getting what it gives me in exchange for what I lose? You gotta watch Verizon -- they are on a program to completely remove any control over our phones from us. "Run what we give you and like it" -- screw them!
Yeah I don't get why Verizon has to make it this difficult.

I heard the MJ7 root is coming soon. Hopefully it doesn't have any setbacks.

MOD EDIT - Quoted post with links removed.
The moderators pulled the links to vroot. There is major concern it is malware communicating to servers in China. I would edit your post and remove the link until word comes it's safe.

I'm talking about another rooting possibility.

As a general warning to members, vroot has not been verified to be safe yet. Because of this we are removing links to it and warning you of the potential risks of using it.
Thank you for your cooperation.

I have rooted my Verizon SCH-I545 MJ7 wit VROOT and have had NO issues. It is very simple, one click. This Chinese site that has VROOT is a site that has custom ROMs etc. There doesn't appear to be any ROMs available for the SCH-I545 yet and you can't install xda roms or kernels from xda & VROOT has its own recovery program though not as extensive as xda. These Chinese guys have done a quick minor miracle with VROOT. I can get rid of bloatware & other annoying programs with this VROOT method. I've been running it for 4 days now without incident. Still, use at your own risk.

i am confirming that vroot works fully. i dont like the superuser but it works. supersu isn't an option because it wont update binary. but i am telling you VROOT fully roots and gives super user permission. just google vroot and it pops right up. download it. theres nothing to do . after the phone reboots it works. BUT I MUST WARN YOU IT SAYS CUSTOM ON THE BOOT SCREEN NOW
