I'm trying to get use out of this aging tablet. I figured there aren't going to be any updates coming so I would finally like to root the device. However, everything I've read and tried is outdated and hasn't worked. I was wondering if someone could help me root my device. I'm not looking to run any ROM or anything. I'd just like to have root and superuser access so I can uninstall a lot of unwanted apps. Below is my device information. I've just recently done a factory reset and have not installed any drivers on my computer. Starting fresh.
Computer:
- Windows 7 64-bit
Tablet:
- Android Version: 4.1.1
- Build number: 10.4.2.18
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a one-click solution to root that should work on your device if that is all you want to do:

I tried using Kingo. While the program said it rooted the device, I didn't have root access when I checked the app Root Checker and Titanium Back-up to uninstall all the unwanted apps.

Is your device unlocked? If you're not and you don't have any warranty, try unlocking it first then use kingo. It's what I used on several TF201 with no problem, but they were all unlocked so I don't know if being locked would cause the problem.

My device is NOT unlocked. How do I go about unlocking it? After I do so, I'll give Kingo another try.
You can disregard! I tried Kingo again, without unlocking, and for some reason it worked this time! I am currently uninstalling all the bloatware. Thank you all for your help.
I purchased a next book NX785QC8G with jellybean 4.2.2 already installed. Specs are in the screenshots that I have posted. I am trying to see if there is way to root this tablet. I've looked into towelroot, stumproot, cydia impactor, and others but can't get concrete answer as to if any of these would work. I don't want to risk bricking or doing worse to my tablet. I was hoping there was any information that anybody knows on rooting my tablet. Any help would be very much appreciated.

To determine if Towelroot can root it go into Settings, then About Device, and then Software Information. You should see a date under "Kernel version". If that date is before June 3rd 2014, Towelroot should be able to root it. Otherwise it won't be vulnerable. If it doesn't work it won't harm the device as it checks for the vulnerability before attempting it.
Framaroot can also potentially do it. Again, no harm done if it doesn't work.
There are also some sketchy ones- Root Master, VROOT, and Kingo Root. I would recommend staying away from those. Yes, they work, but we at XDA don't know how they do what they do, and they send info to a server in China. Again, we don't know what's being sent there.
There is no date before kernal info it just says 3.0.32+. I have included a screenshot
The build number shows that the ROM was built April 1st of last year. Towelroot should be able to root your device.
Towelroot does not work. I have just tried it. I am looking in to one click root now, have you headed of this method.
Oneclickroot says device isn't in their database to check back in 24 he's.
I've heard of OneClickRoot but I've never used it so I can't vouch for it.
Try Framaroot. It tends to work well with a lot of devices.
Framaroot doesn't work either. Towelroot says it won't work on kernal versions before June 1st 2014.
I believe I have a solution. I found this here on XDA:
Rooting instructions for Nextbook 8 Quad Core (NX785QC8G).
1. Connect to PC via USB, enable USB debugging on tablet, then use*Cydia Impactor*to create ADB device Driver. (USB>Driver Scan>Create Driver).
2. While connected USB, use*Kingo*after device driver is installed to complete rooting.

I hope it works for you.
Next time, you might want to try a Google search. Searching your model number followed by "root" brought this right up. My apologies if you did try a search but were unsuccessful.
OK so I was able to get it rooted using cydia impactor and kingo. I have installed super su, titanium backup and busybox x+. What if any Roms are available for my tablet. Its jellybean 4.2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55321603&postcount=150
From what I can tell it's based off of the stock ROM, but it was the best I could find.
Thank you very much. I googled I binged and I got info and help only here. I will download and let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed
I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a cyanogenmod rom that worked with this phone. Thank you.
UNLOCKING raven H892L
ME too. How can I root or unlock this phone.? Help please.
Try Kingo Root
do a google search for Kingo Root.
Its the only one I could find that worked but i still have a few issues.
Cant update or install recovery.
Cant gain Root for some apps.
Cant update SU.
Cand update Busy Box.
But one caveat is that i Rooted mine using Kingo around mid 2015.
There have been several updates to Kingo since then and while none have fixed my problem it may be able to do yours without error.
Make sure you use "Kingo" and not "king" or some other similar name as there are several and it can be confusing.
I got Coolpad Torino S and was wondering if there's any way to get the root access. It's possibly named differently outside of Europe, model is Coolpad E561. Here's link to GSMArena http://www.gsmarena.com/coolpad_torino_s-7898.php
I have already tried KingRoot, but it was without any success.

Hi, i have the same coolpad and i´ve tried all Root tools but no success.
Maybe our smartphone is not public enough, no developers to get root / CWM or ROMs
We have to wait....
What Build did you have? I have updated yesterday to V30.

Yeah, I'm on the same V30 build, got the update a couple days ago. As you're the only other person I've ever seen to own this phone, I got to ask you - do you ever get issues with GPS? For me sometimes the GPS simply dies (can't see/find any satellites) and the only way to fix it is to force stop Play Store (found out by accident). Pretty sure it's a software issue, but not sure if it's only for me or for everyone.
any news about rooting coolpad torino s?
I did try various King Root versions, but none of them worked. Other one-click root apps seemed way too shady to install on the phone. Sadly I think there won't be any way to root this phone considering how unpopular it is.
I even contacted Coolpad EU customer service about root possibilities (I know some Chinese manufacturers allow root access), but after a quick response they completely stopped responding. Quite unprofessional from them, next time I will steer clear from Coolpad brand.

Just a quick update. Today I managed to get a root access with the latest Kingoroot app on a first try.
Initially I just wanted to remove bloatware like Zumei weather, Facebook, Touchpal and unroot because Kingoroot seemed quite shady, for some reason it connected to internet from time to time and phone seemed to work slower than it should.
BUT by sheer luck I managed to replace Kingo SuperUser with SuperSU. Basically what I did:
1. Root with Kingoroot and reboot;
2. Install SuperSU from Play store;
3. Remove Kingo SuperUser (it was installed when rooting with Kingoroot) and reboot;
4. Run SuperSU and update binaries -> normal;
5. It didn't work the first time, it was stuck on "Installing, please wait..." so I rebooted my phone and repeated 4th step;
6. This time it updated just fine, I removed Kingoroot, rebooted and had a root access.

Hi, thanks for this thread, but I do not work with the Kingroot, is it possible that some other program has come out, or do you know if there is anything else to root the Coolpad Torino S E561_EU?
Sorry for my English
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I've been away from XDA for some really long time. I used KingOroot not Kingroot. Also I forgot to mention, but you need to enable Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking there.
Though it's been some time since I last tried rooting, maybe Kingroot works now too.

Thank you very much.....Done:laugh:
Huge thanks to vadosnake for discovering this !
It's been a wait of 2 years, and King root has finally achieved root on this device. This method was tested on the Lollipop firmware, and others have said it works on KitKat as well. To root the G850A, follow these steps:
1.) Download the two APKs provided below, which we'll need for later
2.) Enable Unknown Sources by going to Settings, then Security, and the option should be right there
3.) Now install KingRoot 4.81. A message will pop up saying that the app is malicious, but just click "Install Anyway"
4.) Now enter the King root app and click Root. The phone will reboot, but that is normal. Go back into the app again and the process should continue until it's complete. Voila, your phone is now rooted. However, we will be replacing KingRoot with SuperSU.
5.) Install the second APK called SuperSume. After it's done, click the big green button, give it root access, and it will replace KingRoot with SuperSU in 1 minute.
6.) Go into the Play Store and update SuperSU. After it's done updating, go into the app and it will pop up with a message saying to update the binaries. Click continue then "Normal". DO NOT CLICK TWRP/CWM, OR IT WILL SOFTBRICK YOUR DEVICE.
7.) After that., you're done. You now have root with SuperSU.
Please make sure to show this to AT&T Galaxy Alpha users. Especially developers, so we can get some roms
Did anyone try this? Why does King Root need internet access to root? I'm afraid to turn on the internet in case it tries to steal data.

It needs Internet access to search in their database for a root solution.
I got SuperSU to install, but it can't update the binaries. It says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again." after trying to update the binaries. The Root Checker app did confirm that it was rooted.

For now, I tend to leave the app closed, and just wait until root prompts appear for root apps

No Luck
I just ran the included 4.8.1 and online 5.0.1 versions, neither worked. So I tried the 4.8.1 a few times (including restarts) and the Super-SuMe anyway, but it didn't do anything past "Preparing environment" for 20 minutes.
Additional note, the 4.8.1 seems to have problems in general. After trying to root and failing, it'll continue using 80% of my cpu on some other processes within it's directory (mostly Schrodinger).
I'm running Android 5.0.2 (G850AUCU1BOC7), Kernel 3.4.0-4486597, Build LRX22G. It's the last update ATT gave us.

Same, tried both 4.8.1 and 5.0.1, neither worked. Same android and baseband version as yours.
Thanks so much for this. I'm curious exactly which version of Lollipop on the g850a this was tested and working on? Was it specifically 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 something like that? I just want to make sure I can follow it exactly so it works.
Root access was lost after a couple of days. I'm on 4.4.4.

Well this is strange, I followed this exact tutorial about 1 month ago and everything worked fine, now the app just freezes and after 5 minutes gives off a "Root Fail" message. I'm still running v4.8.1 on the app and still running on the KitKat firmware. This makes no sense at all.
Edit: The phone is no longer supported by Kingroot
Hey guys, sorry for not replying, my internet has been down for the past two weeks . It seems that everyone is having problems keeping root after a while. I might not be a developer, but here's my advice: Once root is obtained, do what you want to do (ie. change emojis or install ViperAudio), then don't touch the SuperSU app until some more skilled developers put this root to full use . I'm sorry for not being more useful, but I just want everyone to know that this device isn't dead. What we need right now is something like SafeStrap for some some-what custom roms.
Any one having issue getting this to work?

Yeah, Kingroot pulled support from it after people started using supersu-me to get supersu on their devices instead of kingroot. Well, to me, it sounds like a jealousy problem on Kingroots end. It's not like everyone is buying the pro version of the app. Their main source of money is ad revenue. They also pulled support from the Galaxy S5 and many other devices mainly because of people using supersu-me. Kingroot has got to get the stick that is in it's butt right now out ASAP. A 'friend' of mine literally sold his S5 because it couldn't be rooted anymore, and i'm thinking about selling my G850A because it can't be rooted anymore.
Just to clarify this, there's absolutely no way on the internet that the G850A can be rooted, ever?

Not anymore. It only had root for like 1 month then Kingroot removed support, you can blame them. Unless someone is exploit something so we can have root back, there is no way to root this phone anymore. I know, it sucks, just like the Kingroot developers, but that's just life.

Hi
Im doing that and 100% complete but i check root by root check not request from super user
Solution found!
Hi guys. I think I found the trick. Just disable Internet connection (Mobile data and WiFi) just before lunching kingroot app this would evade the app from "searching the best root solution" which is "nothing found".
I used the exact same files uploaded in the OP and it works great, including the supersume part.
Good luck.
I'm very lucky to root my device. waited One year and 4 months and got the fruit of patience. Now I love my device. I have patched Tethering Provision. Now I can easily open hotspot.. no need of foxfi etc... ? Congratulations to those who got there device ROOOOTED.. ?
