Just bought Kyocera Hydro Edge C5215 with Android 4.1.2, tried several known rooting methods - none worked.
Joining you in your call to the community - can this model be rooted??
Thanks.

its brand new so no root yet. its not a "popular" critter like the original hydro (the edge is a HUGE upgrade btw really nice bit of hardware for a cheap entry level phone) upgrading my pop from the original hydro today.
we will probably get root eventually but it won't be a "complete" root meaning you frack it you brick it IE no "restore"
that is how the original was. we shall see. I am looking forward to it though JB is much nicer than ICS

As much as I hate to say it, Cydia has the solution for rooting this device. Here's the linky-link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384297&goto=nextoldest

Not working bro, Poot is a waste of time as well. I too have a Hydro and would love to root it just to remove some of the factory apps. I could care less about a custom rom, some of the **** they have on the phone from factory is crap
I will keep my fingers crossed that some XDA wizard will take up the challenge and help a honky out
P.S. been a member here for nearly a year and still have to wait 5min between posts ?

Root Success on 3 Hydro XTRM's
After much trial, and frustration aand a couple weeks later, I found a method that works flawlessly for mine and my 2 other family members Hydro XTRM's.
I used this---> Framaroot-1.6.1.** :good::good:
I rooted 3 Hydo XTRM's with it successfully, once open there are two methods, they are the names of people, I cant remember which 2 so forgive me its been 2 weeks ago that i rooted them so the names are not at the forefront of my feeble mind
Any way, if one does not work simply try the other, and if I am correct the first name at the top of the list worked for me all 3 times. It also requires superSU and busybox.
I hope like hell that I have helped other Hydro users because most places play down Hydro devices as not popular and not worth the trouble, so I suffered through a lot of "sorry's" and vague answers.
I was glad to solve this, and even more happy to share it. PeAcE
** The link I had to the download is no longer valid, so you may have to search a bit to find a good download, sorry.

This worked!
Thanks so much! In another thread I was pointed at framaroot 1.4 .1 which did NOT work! Luckily I came across your post installed 1.6 .1 and it worked with the second name only (gandolf). :laugh:
I have a Kyocera Hydro XTRM running jellybean 4.1.2

Well, let the big kids figure out how to remove Bing and make some tools that will make it easier for you to root, give it a week or so and we will have them

[Q] Any chance to root Galaxy S3 Mini clone aka Bephone I9300

Recently bought an android phone hoping it was on ICS 4.0.3 as it states in the About Phone. Just read through a forum @ forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?t=24021 that it wasn't. Is there any hope this device can be rooted at least? I'm having a lot of apps which can install from Google Play but aren't working properly sometimes downright shutting down (ie. Temple Run). I even get the error 498 while trying to download some apps. Hoping you could help me root it.
Here's some more details about this phone.

ATT SGH 1537 ML2 (Galaxy S4 Active)

Have been lurking on XDA for awhile now but as a new member am unable to post in developer area.
I just received my S4 Active this week.
Ordered it as I had read in the forum that there was an easy root for it, thanks to Geohot.
Of course that root works only if you are on Android 4.2
Unfortunately, my active arrived with factory installed 4.3
1. Tried Geohot anyway, no go.
2. Tried impactor, no go
3. Can't remember what it was. If I can find it I will update this
4. Tried Vroot, no go. I know, guess I was getting desperate
I'm not afraid of bricking this phone as I got it for free and can easily get another one.
Am willing to be the Official UN-Official guinea pig.
So, the question is, does anybody have any suggestions as to what else to try?
Would prefer to start trying the, relatively speaking, safest then progress from there.

[Q] Need help Root Asus Zenpad C7.0

Hello!
I'm using tablet Asus Zenpad C7.0. Model Number P01Y, Android version 5.0.2.
I want to root this device. I have tried two different ways: Kingo Root software and Dingdong but all failed.
Please everyone help me!
Thank you so much.
Regards.
Danny.
Please help me .
Thanks.
Actually really interested in the topic as well, using p01z, really want to root it to get rid of the bloat and possibly if there is a way get an ozon or cay. to run on it, spent several days on the net and have tried several methods including the above mentioned everything failed. Surprisingly there is no info on P01Z anywhere... like zenpad does not exist lol
Waiting for this also
Should we assume this just isn't going to happen? I don't know enough to figure it out myself.
same here just tried without luck
I have no experience at rooting at all, but I tried using the adb debugger and figured out a way to monitor the tablets' data.
Although it didn't help me, I'm still looking for a way to root my new ZenPad C7.0.
So this really isn't going to happen?
I'd really like to root this device but I'm having no luck in doing so..
I tried the method described here but with almost all combination, it still does not work. I get a fastboot remote unknown command.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096
So my conclusion is that there is no known method exist now. Some of the hits one got from searching the internet are bluff and fake.
Any Luck? Asus ZenPad C 7.0 P01Z
Anyone in this thread alive? Or is it dead??
I recently purchased the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 P01Z and am looking to root. I tried "Kingo ROOT" and got no luck. Did a little bit of investigating and it looks like it may be the Bootloader that is preventing it from properly working. Trying to "Unlock the bootloader" and running again. Not sure if it will work, but figured id ask anyone here.....
Please let me know if anyone here has any luck.... I really need to get this thing to perform better. Overclocking is my goal... any other advice on how to improve performance is welcome as well! Feel free to message me here or email me (best way to reach me) at either:
[email protected]

Thanks everyone!!!

Hi there,
I just googled this and I got this guide:

Please try it on your responsibility, and give us your feedback.

That guide is for both kingo root and ding dong which the OP lists as non fuctional. I have also tried king root (both PC & APK versions without success).
I believe this unit cannot be rooted anytime soon. Better to find another device that is rootable.

Well, i don't really understand Russian but by the video what we can assume is that he's factory resetting it. In the second part of the video at least, we can see that he is using Kingroot to root the tablet.
Hey good news I've officially working on the root,
I will be using the sdk manual method.
I will also upload the files on XDA.
I will also need time to do this because I don't want to brick my tablet.

Agreed, thanks so much Kibs. Really appreciated; I picked up this tab the other day in the sales and the battery life is pretty poor thanks to all of the crapware and such. I cannot wait to load up Titanium and remove it all! Thanks again buddy.

hi guys still trying to do everything I can
it is harder than I expected
I tried to use the method for ASUS Zen pad 8.0 because its root has been released.
But when I tried it wouldn't work
so wish me luck again
*IF YOU WANT TO JOIN IN THE FUN IM GOING TO UPLOAD THE ROOT METHOD WHICH IS USED FOR ZENPAD 8.0*
F.Y.I
THIS METHOD WON'T BRICK YOUR DEVICE
YOU CAN FIND THE INSTRUCTIONS ON GOOGLE FOR ROOTING ZENPAD 8.0
IF YOU DO THE METHOD YOUR DEVICE WILL GO TO BOOTLOADER MODE SO TO SWITCH TO NORMAL MODE
PRESS THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON TOGETHER. THE DEVICE WILL BOOT TO NORMAL MODE.
Kibs, did you manage to get into recovery? The triggers I am using does not seem to be working. "unknown oem command".
Also, I'm stuck on what is presumably Fastboot (green background with the Android). Pressing power down + power doesn't allow me to boot into normal mode.

[Q]TWRP/CWM/Philz for Mega 6.3 AT&T Variant !!

Hello Guys it seems there is no any custom recovery in sgh-i527 .
can someone please help me to find one i was searching about it almost 2-3 days and still no luck.
hope someone will help me. provide me some link plss..
Thanks in Advance !
Just recently they managed to get root to work on it for 4.4. While I have heard that someone managed to get a copy of the bootloader, I don't think anyone has developed an alternate that works. Mainly because the phone is so old and that dealing with the bootloader on this phone tends to be problematic. (Can you say "BRICK"). Enjoy root while you can and look for another model of phone that has lots of mods still working with it. I did....
