Yes, but with more limited options than unlocking bootloader. Now we have working recovery but requires unlocking bootloader. Recovery w/o unlocking bootloader is still in progress, check the original android development section.

thanks; I know I have read that unlocking the bootloader currently disables some features in the phone, but I am sure its only a matter of time till the fantastic devs get that sorted out..plus, once they announce who is carrying this phone in the US, there will be ALOT more people, including devs, jumping on board! :good:
Mine is rooted with vroot and i m not sure will it lost DRM keys or not.

Use kingo, think it's the safest atm. Root process is the same for all models.

I'm on the latest update and I can't achieve root has anyone achieved root access on here?

You need to go back to 532 first before you can root:
Use this guide for that part:

You can't root 257. You have to downgrade to 532 first, root, possibly change the CDA (if you don't get the OTA update), update through OTA, and you're done.
So...
- Find a 532 ROM here.
- Flash the 532 build using Flashtool.
- Root it using this tool.
- If you don't get the OTA update, follow this guide and change your CDA.
- Install OTA Root Keeper from the Play Store.
- Once the OTA is available, download it.
Congratulations, you're on 257 again and you're rooted. This is it, and there's plenty of helpful threads here if you SEARCH, so please search before you ask. Answering questions all day long isn't our job.
EDIT: God damn it, @shaolin95, i just wasted 4 minutes on my "Rooting Guide For Dummies"

hahahah I just wanted you to get some rest since you spent so much time helping me the last few days!
still your explanation is very detailed so it works better. :highfive:
@Lord M
You sir.............are very nice to people demanding links/instructions on rooting.
I must've come from "school of hard knocks" forums previous.
Folks like that got shot down with the NOOOOOOOOB CANON!
perhaps its time to grab the old link to the YouTube video.

So, I've read EVERY post on rooting and adding recovery to my phone with unsuccessful results every time. I'm running FM 14.1. B.2.257
Is there something I'm missing?
I was able to unlock the bootloader, so I'm good there but the rest
Any ideas?
Sent from my C6802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You'll have to give us some more than that. You're on 257 and you've unlocked the bootloader? Aaaand? What have you done or/and tried?
downgrade to .532 and use the japanese rootkit.

Read the sticky on downgrading, and the one on rooting and getting ready to flash. Then ask questions in that thread if you get stuck.
