Zopo ZP998 root doesn´t work | Vroot, towelroot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a Zopo ZP998 Octocore phone. Yesterday I flashed it to Android 4.4, the latest available version from the vendor.
Google told me 4.4 should be rootable easily with "towelroot" or "vroot". I tried both, nothing worked. Towelroot tells me the phone is not
supported and VROOT worked until to nearly end and tells me "unsuccessful". There is only the option to root by hand but
I didn´t do that.
I am sure I have done all correct. I installed the windows drivers under Win7 and the phone is recognized by the system and
also by the VROOT software. I turned on USB debugging and I also installed the APK part of the vroot on my phone.
Any ideas what I can do more? Root is not that important for me but I´d like to do it.

OK, I found out where the problem was. I had the wrong version of VROOT. You need the 1.7
After that all works perfect. Thank you.

[Q] LG P990 Root problem

hello,
I want to upgrade my phone to android 4.1.2. My phone is rooted and I've installed a rom android 2.2.3 a year ago. But now my computer (more pc's tried) don't recognize my phone (LG P990 Android 2.2.3). LG driver is installed and I've tried many programs. Also my phone is suddenly unrooted (I test it with root checker) And I can't install a root access program. After that I installed 3 programs to my phone to root it again with Z4root, sparkyroot and unlockroot but non of them worked.
I don't know what to do now. maybe one of you?
Thanks,

[Q] [Solved] Maxwest Orbit Z50 USB Driver

Picked up a Maxwest Orbit Z50, overall it is a solid off brand phone, but I have hit a wall trying to find USB drivers for it. The VID is 24E3 and PID is 9025. The phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8625Q Processor. Trying to get the drivers to see if any of the root methods out there will work. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate them.
So if I had read the noob guides like I should have I would have found the ADB Driver Installer program. For anyone that wanders here later looking for the driver for this phone, use the link in the noob guide, this worked like a champ. It is an unsigned driver so in Windows 8 I had to disable my driver signature enforcement to get it to install. After it installed I ran Kingo to root the phone and it worked like a champ. Once again, thank you XDA you guys are my heroes.
z50 root

Ok, so you set flashtool like I said in my thread but there's no progress when you connect your switched off phone to PC. That's probably because your phone isn't recognised properly. I don't know if there's any driver installed on your PC, but you have to reinstall it somehow. The best method I encountered is to connect switched off phone and, when windows prompts, choose to install drivers from specific folder (try ADB folder or FlashTool, there's drivers for xp/vista/7 in each one that worked for me). This is a point when you must figure out by yourself, depending on your situation. Let me know if something changes.
Hello,
I just bought an S850 and I can't even install the drivers. When I connect the phone to the PC, it detects it, but it doesn't ask for drivers. It just says that Windows didn't found any drivers for this device and then it disappears from the Device Manager. Tried to manually install the .inf files, but then I get an error message saying that these files cannot be installed manually. So basically I'm stuck at the very beginning of the root process
Any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] HTC Desire 320 Rooting issues

Hi, I have tried using the MediaTek SP Flash tool, v5.13.52.200, to root HTC Desire 320, but wasn't successful. I think the problem might be driver related.
I noticed that when i connect the turned-off phone to pc then the VCom preloader driver disappears in a few seconds from the device manager.
I tried rooting also with Framaroot but that wasn't successful either.
Can someone suggest me another way?
Or a way to solve this problem (perhaps there's a more suitable preloader driver for HTC Desire 320 than the one I'm currently using)?
The information of current preloader driver:
"PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM...)"
Driver Provider: MediaTek Inc.
Driver date: 12/24/2011
Driver version: 2.0.0.0
have u tried this
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-the-htc-desire-hd/
Hil there.
I tried also various rooting tools, however the one that worked for me was iRoot, and the driver i used was from... Sorry i don't remember the thread i got the program from , and i am not on the PC i did the procedure, but this program search for your device drivers automatically. If you have driver issues i will edit and include the program's name later.
By the way, iRoot also offers an apk to root directly from your device, i did not used this method but it's worth a try if you think there is an issue with your drivers.
Hope it works for you as well!

iRoot worked.
First I tried with apk version which did not fully root

and it worked.

[Q] Root when phone is not detected

Hello everyone, I could not find a good title for my issue but I will try to explain as well as I can. I own a GT-I9300 (International), but since last official Samsung's firmware update(Jelly Bean 4.3) I am not able to get my phone recognized by my computer. Phone is connected and it charges, but neither Windows or Ubuntu recognizes it as a portable device. I am concerned about UMS is not available on device, but my phone it does not even get detected! I also own a Galaxy SII (4.1.2) and it does get detected by my PC. I think that flashing a custom ROM could solve the problem, since it appeared when I updated official firmware, but the thing is that I cannot root my phone! Tried ODIN but since my phone does not get detected, ODIN does not do its job. I also tried rooting with framaroot and towelroot, but no success: first one says "Failed , try another exploit" but there is only one. And the last one says my phone is not currently supported, even if I change modstrings.
So here is my question: how do I root my phone? I don't know what else I could try. I have already reinstalled Kies and Samsung USB drivers but still not working. Also hard-resetted but no luck.
Hope you guys can help me out because this is really getting on my nerves
Thanks in advance!

I have already tried with every port on my PC. I'm using the USB cable that actually came with the device and it is working when I plug in another phones.
And yes, I have activated USB debugging

The thing is that my phone is the only one that do not get detected every single time I connect it. I have already connected one GT-I9100 and GT-S6790L and both get detected. I already tried on 3 different Virtual Machines with Windows XP, Ubuntu, Windows 8.1 but no luck.
As I said in the first post, I think it's a firmware problem since it appeared when I did the official update, which was this one:
Model GT-I9300
Model name GALAXY S III
Country Argentina
Version Android 4.3
Build date Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:33:08 +0000
PDA I9300UBUGNK1
CSC I9300UVOUGNK1
MODEM I9300UBUGNK1

I can see your frustration Now a few things technically it is a misconception that you need root to flash a custom rom you can actually flash a custom recovery with Odin full wipe and then flash a custom rom from custom recovery (only thing is you will lose all your data because you need root to back up your data)
Now I know the above statement is not very helpful because as you said Odin doesn't detect it (but I thought I would mention it anyway )
The reason framaroot and towelroot, didn't work is because at the moment the only way to root S3 is with Odin.:crying:
You may have tried this but I will mention it anyway first uninstal Kies and all Samsung drivers from your computer ( kies can interfere with Odin) Then try installing these drivers here >> http://developer.samsung.com/techni...Lhp1GqlWRy92Q60CX6PP1mF!80806326?v=T000000117 << If you have tried this then sorry.
Also when you connect the phone go to Device manager in Windows and try to look for your device ( it may say unkown device) it should have a warning triangle right click on it select update driver software and then select browse from my computer and point to the drivers that you have downloaded see if that works.
Another thing to note is if you are using Windows 8 you need to disable Driver signature in start up options ( Google it) for Windows to recognize the drivers.

I already tried uninstalling Kies and Samsung drivers. Also I tried looking for device on Device Manager but it does not appear when I plugin my S3, but it does appear when I connect other devices like S2 or Galaxy Fame Lite. They appear as portable devices.
I'm using Windows 7 on my PC and have already tried with different OS over Virtual Machines and still doesn't work.
And thanks for that note, didn't know there was possible to flash a Custom Recovery without root, but I can't since ODIN doesn't detect device :crying:
Then it looks like you are running out of options I would use another computer not Virtual Machines
Okay I'll give it a try but as I said before, looks like an firmware issue, not computer's. Why would my computer detects two another Samsung devices but not mine (which used to work until last update)
Me, too!
I'm having a similar problem. Last week my GS3 stopped working, and I bought another one from Ebay with a cracked screen and swapped out motherboards. The phone seems to work as well as a stock Verizon phone on Jellybean would, but I can't get my Linux, Win 8, or Win XP computers to even recognize that it's attached. Different cables, each and every one of the USB ports, not even a blip. Device Manager in Windows doesn't even see it, and yes I got the developer options unlocked and have enabled USB debugging.
I've got the Samsung drivers installed, and tried to install the CWM device drivers from the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT V9, but there was an error and that didn't work, either.
USB connection issues are usually due to Windows conflicts, driver problems or the lead itself. If all these have been excluded then you have either a firmware issue in the bootloader, which is very uncommon, or a hardware problem. The usb port is easily worn/damaged/dirty also the motherboard might be the cause.
There is no silver bullet to cure, test each possible thoroughly.

I'm 100 percent sure that it is not due a Windows issue, I have already test every option. I have not considered the usb port to be damaged or worn, which could be possible but phone charges every time I connect it to computer. It just does not get detected as a device. But in order to assume it is a motherboard issue I will have to put away my feeling that the problem is caused by last OTA official update, since this problem started there.
If it is a firmware update issue, is it any option to flash another ROM?

As I said on previous posts, I have already installed and reinstalled Samsung USB drivers and made a factory reset -one from config. option and another one from Android stock recovery 3e (since I cannot install any advanced recovery -or even root it- to flash a custom rom). Doing those factory reset did not downgrade my last firmware update (when all my problems started).
I also said on previous posts that I tried towelroot and framaroot with no success. As tallman43 says, seems like international version of S3 does not support those kind of one-click to root apps.
-----------------------------------------------------
So far the only options available (if my theory about latest firmware update is the problematic one) are:
● downgrade firmware: [Q] How? Odin is not working since my phone does not get detected;
● root my phone in order to install an advanced recovery and flash a new ROM: [Q] Any way of rooting phone without computer (apart from towelroot or framaroot because I have tried and do not work for me)? I read one XDA post from 2 years ago to root S3 via console apk but latest comments assumes that method stopped working.
● install an advanced recovery without odin or root: [Q] How?
● fix USB firmware issue: [Q] I have completely no idea how to do it. (Already played with *#7284# and *#0808# but did not get my phone detected)
Please I need help, this is really irritating me and I am running out of ideas

I guess I have found out what the problem was. It was not firmware (as I thought). It was the micro USB port (as boomboomer said) which seems to not be firmly attached to the PCB. AC charging just seems to work okay, but not USB connections. I managed to figure it out by forcing the USB in a specific position to get it detected for 5 seconds, but then it disappeared.
Yeah, it was not as complex as I thought! I will try to replace that micro USB port as soon as possible, thanks everyone for your help!
