Use the easy root toolkit (found in the cross device development section). It works perfectly for me.

easy root kit didn't work for me ...
to correctly root with towelroot u got to have flashtool installed then u could root with it by pressing on devices icon on top left and choose root then select (root with towelroot)..
it will install towelroot automatically and then follow the instructions on ur pc screen....
if its rooted successfully then ur device will reboot and u will find supersu installed

So I used the guide on Condi's AiO tool to get ICS rooted and everything said it was going fine and root was successful and everything but then I installed it and it was a custom file and everything, it even said "Installing root" and then "Successful" but I am not rooted so what is up with that?
The system update button even still shows up...

Maby you've forgotten to put in your sd card xD. i had the same stupidity re do the steps again, maby that works you could give it a try and if it wont work and you dont want root access anymore just apply the update and wait for the ics update and also wait if devs can root ics, remember you could have a chance that you get a kernel 9 or above with "3.2.1 release 2" and will not be able to gain root anymore.

No, it was definitely on the SD card. It even went through the update and everything. I tried redoing the steps but I no longer have root so they failed. I definitely do want root, but either way I don't have it.
On my 3.2.1 I have kernel revision #1...

It's because you had SuperSU... Didn't you?

Nope, I did not... I used SuperUser...
So if i get it right your on 3.2.1.r2 now without root?
If you havn't fixed this already there might be a solution for you try this:
1. Connect your tab.
2. Enable usb debugging.
3. Open device manager
4. Disable SONY TABLET S
5. Start Condi's 2.7 AiO Tool
6. Choose option 1 for root.
7. Press enter so your device will reboot.
8. look in device manager list and wait until SONY TABLET S re-appears
9. If it appears then you must enable it again and wait for the AiO tool to finish.
This might work just give it a try!

Hello,
Thank you for your reply, unfortunately I am actually on ICS without root. It is quite annoying because all of the root files are there but it still says I am not rooted. I can even use the hacked recovery file, unfortunately signature check is not disabled so I can't reinstall the rooted ICS file...

Auch, Thats a bummer then its not possible to obtain root acces which you already knew, but that means that the rooting process whas half finished, that it has installed the Super User app but not changed any permissions or values,
too bad you cant see where it went wrong, but i think the devs will find out how to deal with the "Unrootable kernels"
Too bad i didn't helped you at all,

There are two scenarios - one - please check /system/bin/ directory - if there is 'tempsu', and /system/xbin/ if there is 'busybox' - if yes, then just let me know.
Second scenario - you've created custom update, then accidentally flashed 'decrypted_update.zip' - without root etc.

As the title states, I'm trying to root my phone using towelroot, yet everytime that it runs all it does is reboot my phone which according to the splash screen for towelroot, says that it's unsuccessful. How do I go about correcting this?

Have you downloaded SuperSU yet? I had the same issue until I did. I think I remember that was the solution.
Here are the complete instructions for rooting with Towelroot, not much to it.

Install SuperSU and busybox onto your phone before you try towel root, these will install but not set up. make sure you have usb debugging turned on, then try it again. SuperSu will bond with towel root and then ask to turn off knox...knox is trying to block it. You need SuperSu and then busybox running. if you get it rooted you'll be able to update SuperSu and set up busy box...maybe rom tool box, lucky patcher blackmart alpha, and rom manager after you get rooted too.
I had an instance where towel root said it worked and apps were saying I still needed full root access, so I used kingo android root to finish over it.
you can also try kingo android root (your decision and you own risk) it worked for me most times without any crap installed. even the chinese version rooted my phone but it puts its own program and SU, but if you already have SuperSU and busybox installed, the SuoerSu will uninstall those other SU apps and still have root. (your decision and you own risk).
Idk what those programs are that the post above me refer to, but all I did is download selinux mode changer and set to permissive, then use towelroot. See if that helps any

@ryant35: Thanks for the insight, I had it downloaded, and I was following that guide - it didn't mention installing SuperSU until the device is rooted ( and SafeStrap installed )
@Neontc: SELinux Mode changer depends upon the device already being rooted from what I read on the download page. I'll give it a shot though.
If anyone knows how to fool TowelRoot into thinking that it's online, I'd be very happy to hear that news. I'm going to be out to sea without internet for my phone for about a month, and I'm still actively trying to root my phone...
Thanks again for the quick responses, and I'll try to update when I can as far as what's happened and how I fixxed it!
Maybe I am wrong more than likely I am but I was under the impression that busybox was included somehow with the towel root install. I went with the towel root first then came back with the su after the root was installed after I checked to make sure the root took using root checker from the play store. Jesse
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.
Also, I tried to install supersu from the play store and it didn't work.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.
Last question, Is it possible to flash your phone using a computer?

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

So how do I do that?
Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
I have seen roots posted for the Y530Q but not the Y534Q. I tried Framaroot (1.9.1). It only gives the Aragon option and fails. Kingroot both offline (APK) and via PC fails. The RootGenius method posted here, also fails.
Kingo Root worked for me:
Uninstall any other methods you have tried.
Install the adb-driver-installer here.
Install and run Kingo.
Check your Superuser app after the root is successful. You may need to allow it to update. If so, choose the normal method.
I hope this helps.
This method Works!
Thanks man nice little tool.:good::good:
Note: Mine didnt read the blu phone till i rebooted my PC.
KINGO IS A FAUX ROOT METHOD (Don't Use)
Use WondershareGO which you can easily find a .torrent for on KAT or TPB and use the "One Click Root" Method w/o any data loss and a TRUE rooted bianary!
Need Help
i tried this method and the PC seems to recognize the phone, also the kingo ROOT program and even it install a APK on the phone, tried 4 times and even reboot the PC but it doesnt seem to work it always fails, do i have to do a special process or someting?
I'v ran through all root methods (that i know of) for this phone (4.4.4) and none of them work. at all. Whats the point of a root dir if its impossible to access? Seems to be limited info on a root method for this phone. Is it root proof?

For now because of the locked bootloader
Root Achieved!!
UPDATE
I got Kingroot to root the zte speed!!!
but it doesnt keep root for very long. usually only stays rooted for a matter of minutes, and you have to reroot it everytime you reboot
I had to install "certificate installer" from google play and install a root certificate.
now im just trying to figure out how to keep it rooted
me to i cant get root to stay there maybe the kingroot guys can fix that in a updat.

Wanted to post update on this thread for people who come by via Google wanting to root that zte speed, as I was sick of coming by this thread as seeing no answer from the search results.
I did the following and was able to get permanent root with SuperSU
Source/Inspiration for this guide (thank you hroark13): androidforums / zte-speed-n9130-permanent-root-achieved.1061137
With ADB enabled and hooked up, run " adb shell reboot disemmcwp "from your PC. This helps to unlock some key parts for Kingroot to work much quicker and persist. That was the secret sauce that was not known in 2015 when everyone was trying to root this at first.
I used Kingroot 5.3.8 from APK mirror as that was easiest (no need to install the Kingroot application on PC just downloading the APK is enough to the phone). I was also running AnTuTu Benchmark Stress Test at the same time as running Kingroot, but this might not be necessary.
I installed Busy Box, and got the SuperSU downloaded ahead of time from the play store as well. I had tried to run Super SU but it couldn't replace the binary, so:
Finally, replace Kingroot with SuperSU by using the Super-Sume Pro app, pretty much just follow through the prompts in the app, but before you start be sure to disable Auto Updates in Kingroot first to prevent a possible conflict. The app will prompt you to reboot, which you can do.
Should have permanent root on your ZTE speed now, you can skip the last step if you like the Kingroot manager but generally people like Super SU better so I changed it to that (less janky).
Warning, if you screw any of this up there is no way to recover your ZTE speed so therefore you could end up with $20 brick.
Thank you, hope this helps someone out who has one of these in their junk drawer.
