how do i root my nextbook NX785QC8G? is there a way - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] Root Samsung Galaxy Legend SCH-I200PP

I can't find any threads on this device but it is a really good phone and it was just on sale for Black Friday at Walmart.
I have tried everything to root this phone but to no avail. From what I can see, this phone is identical to the Galaxy Stellar except it is for Verizon Prepaid. Any ideas?
I have the same curiosity!
I forgot some details. I have tried the Bin4ry root tool and DebugFS. Both gave me "Permission Denied" errors which seems to indicate that this phone has a new security patch to work around.
I finally found the solution. Use Cydia Impactor. I can't post a link but just google it.

can someone please post a linkl to a stock rom cause i didnt back mine up and now it is screwed.
If you have received the MK2 patch and lost root or just now thinking about rooting your Legend, There is still a way.
It's called Safe Root. It's designed for the S4 but it works on the Legend just fine. I failed to do restore root when the patch went to my phone, I consequently lost root, tried to root again with Cydia and V Root, and they both failed. After going through the search process again, I found Safe Root here:

Thank you!
In case someone needs to know...
When I connected my phone via USB it initially was "Connected as an installer". Running the saferoot script in this mode didn't work as it would revert to MTP mode midway through. Putting the connection into MTP mode before running the saferoot script worked like a charm.
Thanks to all involved in making this happen and finding out that it works for the Galaxy Legend.
sch-I200pp factory rom
I have a samsung sch-I200pp factory os, trying to get familar w drop box to help out where I was having the same problem. Tips?
Prepaid to postpaid
I ended up getting a Samsung Galaxy Legend, but of course it is a Prepaid phone and I'm on postpaid. Does anyone know by chance, if I root this phone, is there a way to reprogram it or unlock it from prepaid so I can use it on postpaid? Thanks for your help...There's gotta be a way, right? It's just unlocking it, I think all Verizon does is put in a code. Thanks in advance!
Anyone with a rooted SCH-i200PP can please provide me with a copy of the /system/etc ??

[Q] Lost root with update

First let me say thank you to all of the developers on here who work so hard to help everyone, and give us resources to get the most out of our devices. I've been lurking on this forum for a while, and it's enabled me to root my last two Kindles, and two smartphones over the last couple of years.
I had to finally register because I need some help with my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9". Like many recently, I was able to root my device with towelroot, I installed rootchecker (which confirmed root) and SuperSU, as well as the Google Play Store. So all was great, but when I went to run the toolkit so I could block OTA updates that's where I couldn't succeed. Whenever I tried to disable updates or check root status it just kept giving errors and saying device not found, and asking me to please allow root to my device.
I made sure ADB was enabled, but I still couldn't get the toolkit to do anything. So, I lost root today because of the latest kindle update. What am I doing wrong that's not allowing the toolkit to disable updates?
i faced same issue of device not found while using toolkit
here follow this
https://developer.amazon.com/appsan...etting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
Try rerooting
Try rerooting your device with the tool and then try again to disable updates. This might work. What version are you on now?

[Q] Rom for hauwei raven H892L?

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.

Rooting RCT6773w22b (RCA Voyager II)

This is NOT to be confused with the RCT6773w22 (Notice the "b" at the end of the model number for the tablet I'm using)
Been searching on and off for about 6 months now, with no luck.. Have tried all the usual suspects (FramaRoot, iRoot, KingoRoot, KingRoot, etc) to no avail. KingoRoot even said it was able to be rooted, but fails everytime. iRoot says it succeeds at rooting (Android application only, PC application says failed)
Root Checker on Android says that it's possible and has been done, but hard, and of course they give you no instructions.
So I guess I just wanna know if anyone can point me in the correct direction of where to root it, or if they don't know, someone who can help me get it rooted.
Edit - Assuming this is all correct, here are the specs.
Kernel 3.10.54
Sat May 9 20:16:53 CST 2015
Android 5.0
The ROM is just whatever the stock ROM is. If needed, I can extract it if I'm given a tutorial (Unless obviously it's not something a standard person can do)

[Tutorial] How to Root the G850A (AT&T Galaxy Alpha)

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.. ?
