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.

Hi, I just got my Samsung Fascinate today, and I was looking forward to rooting it. It's my first Android device, and I've only used dumbphones until today. I've seen the rooting threads yet still have no clue how to root my phone.
Can anyone please take me step by step (starting with what apps I would need, if any) in order to root my phone successfully? Thank you very much!

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

The first links for the drivers aren't working!!
edit:
once i started doing adb push su /sdcard/su, it says "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su': Permission denied."
i'm so lost.
Someone Else posted a link to a guide with a small update to it's instructions,
The Post is in the same forum as this one topic name is Rooted, page 3, user eleazar123 posted it..
I would just drop a link to it, but Apparently i am not verified and can not post any links :-(

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
root

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

hey I'm sure it gets old us newbies asking what you seniors consider stupid questions, but I own the Galaxy Note i717 that was rooted but running stock rom and kernel, I just done the update to 4. 1. 2 and lost root and I live in a new town and state and do not have access to a computer at this time and ofcoarse the library will not let me download the software to be able to root and I have tried every one click method out there including poot debug apk files and still nothing. if anyone knows of any way of rooting without p.c that I could use please share. Or if someone knows if chainfire has a 1 click method to root my phone. I have checked all his post and have went over all the information on his work that I could find on the internet and here and have found nothing for my particular phone. So please don't tell me to read because I have done nothing but read for the last 4 days as I am retired. And I am now desperate thank you so much for your time in advance and any helpful answers that you could give I have been reading these forms for a very long time now and this is the first question I have asked , there is so much great advice from everyone on this site and again thanks so much in advance.

Your best bet is to borrow a friend or family member's PC and get it over with, it'll probably take you 2 minutes to root it.
Okay, I admit, this website indimidates the hell out of me. I'm tech savy and not afraid to mess with things, but the level of new terminology here is staggering.
Anyway, now that you know I'm a wimp: I have a SGP561 Xperia Tablet Z2 from Verizon with Lollipo 5.0.2. I want to root it in order to install custom fonts on Photoshop Touch as I'm living abroad and using my tablet as my main computer while the beast lives back home.
I tried to use the Easy Root Tool but it failed. I assume this is because my firmware is too new and not exploitable as of yet, which means I have to downgrade I believe. I have found some files for flashing (?) but they aren't for the SGP561 specifically - does that matter? All I found were these for Xperia Z2 (not the tablet Z2?)
So, in the easiest language possible, can someone please give a step by step on how to downgrade my SGP561 to a rootable firmware and then flash (?) back to the latest firmware and keep root?
Please, please, please, and thank you.
Bump?
This site is frustrating as hell. Mods are quick to lock noob threads without offering help, and you're not allowed to ask questions in the areas where anyone who knows the friggin answer would ever be anyway! I have a rooted z3V running lollipop, etc, so I'm sort of familiar with the process. But developments had been made where rooting became easier.
I've been wading through endless threads filed with outdated crap trying to figure out how the hell to root my z2 tablet for 3 weeks. None of the way this stuff has been written makes ANY sense.
I'm on 5.02, and want root and dual recovery. Should be simple, right?
I don't even know where to ask the damned question anymore. I've downloaded virus filed $#!+ on my computer, thoroughly screwing it up, TWICE now, only to find I probably didn't even need that file. -Or do I? Download links are so old they don't go anywhere. Can't tell what's what here.
Even this thread ; a WEEK OLD, and no help.

You said it dude. I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. I'm pretty deflated right now and demoralized.
If I ever figure it out, I'll hunt you down and let you know. If you do, please do the same.
Regards.
Seems that you guys are looking for a quick and easy fix, but i dont think that there is one. The method that I used is found in this thread.

I followed those steps in that link. It didn't work for me.
I could not downgrade to 17.1.D.0.437. The device was either in reboot cycle or in the status of in-completed flashed after I flashed the firmware ftf file provided in that post. I had to flash the latest firmware to restore the tablet. I was glad I didn't bricked my tablet.
Need help rooting SM-J327V Android 7.0 Thanks to all.
Will be glad to pay someone to get this done. Thanks.
This is all I found so far I'm about to try it right now
Not yet
You still can’t root sm-j327v. TWRP recovery is making a custom recovery for it soon so I’ll tell you when it is available:good::good::good:
Any news on this twrp recovery yet?
Need this done what's the word
Nothing yet. Time will tell
Bumping this thread in search of new activity. I know it's a Verizon phone (so unlocks are unlikely), but I'm hopeful anyway.
A friend bought a new phone (thank goodness) and asked if I wanted their old one (one of these). I said sure, might be fun to fiddle with. That's about my level of investment.
