Having a ridiculous amount of issues rooting the Hydro Life C6530N running Android 4.3. I have ADB and Kyocera drivers installed, I've attempted to use RootGenius 1.8.7, it restarts the phone a couple times, has a progress bar, and the final screen says Such a tough phone! Root...failed... Ok so then I attempted the Root with Restore by Bin4ry v36; followed it step by step, slowly, carefully, using option 3 in the shell which is the Standard-Root, as none of the other options seem to apply to the C6530N. Looks as though it's going to complete, reboots a couple times, and then says After reboot all is done! Have fun!, ok cool, but the root checker app says the phone is not rooted, super su and busybox also confirm this. Does anyone know a third method to rooting this phone? Or is mine just the black sheep, because I see other people having success with rooting this beast.
Thanks!

This is what I did, download kingo superuser app, and kingo root, also turn on USB debugging, don't forget rootchker basic. Install kingo su, then kingo root, both can be found in playstore, run rootchker and done, I've installed busybox, flashify,from toolbox pro,rom manager premium, working great.

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

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.
Can some one help me root a Kyocera hydro view with no computer . its from cricket it runs lollipop.
Try either kingoroot or kingroot... Kingoroot worked on my Hydro Icon.
Sent from my KYOCERA-C6745 using Tapatalk
I was able to gain root access for about 2 minutes before phone reset itself using kingoroot. Has anyone found an exploit or any other rooting methods?
I have been trying to root my kyocera hydro root since I got it but have had no success, I have tried every root method I could find but all have failed. The closest was kingoroot that did get su installed 2 times but the location of su was not able to update and upon reboot disappeared.

ill touch base with you it i find something out also i have the same phone it has been a real a$# kicker:crying::crying:
Has anyone had any more luck rooting the Kyocera Hydro View? As the others before me, I've had temporary luck with Kingo Root, but nothing beyond that. This phone desperately needs Marshmallow or at least root so that the default app install location can be changed. I can live with all it's other faults, but the storage situation is hard to get past. I had hoped to be able to root and use something like link2sd or even do a 'pm set-install-location 2' to make use of external storage and get more than only a few apps installed at a time, but no luck with only the temporary root provided by Kingo Root. The improved storage management available in Marshmallow would be ideal, but I'm trying not to get my hopes too high for that.
Have you tried Kingroot? you can usually get temp root to uninstall apps, but it might reboot itself, but if your fast, you can make changes before you lose root. But you will lose your ability to get cricket updates. You'll get a warning that the device is suspected of rooting.
Still no root for this device?

I finally got it to permanently root with Kingo Root. Took numerous times running it and phone sometimes rebooted, updated and optimized files. Did eventually root and stick permanently but took A LOT of patience. Have to keep running Kingo Root and rebooting phone. It will also reboot itself sometimes, have to let it do its thing. Again, lots of patience, rebooting phone, restarting Kingo Root, waiting, rebooting, re-starting Kingo Root...................on and on. Like 10 times or more maybe.
After root, how to get the system?

After those 10 times, did the root finally stick? Bit confused by your post? Do you still have to re-root after reboot or is it permanent?
Did any one root and flash this Kyocera Hydro View from Cricket?
Was any one successfully to root this one and install new Nougat or other OS ? is this compatible?
Does any one know how to flash this with coustom recovery TWRP etc ? as I know this doesn't go in to recovery and don't want to brick this with out having a reimage Any insights are welcome!

I see two websites for Kingo Root. Which one do I trust?
While KingoRoot was a failure, KingRoot seems to temporarily acquire root after much work, only to lose it on next reboot. Unfortunately, but has allowed me to at least remove some bloatware on this 3.5GB internal storage device. Wew.
While signing up for Cricket and finding out my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G from 2007 wouldn't work on their network, made a snap buy of the Kyocera. None of the 3 people spoken to while signing up with Cricket mentioned an online promotion for portaling an existing number in which I could have gotten a better phone for free or a good discount on a much, much better phone. Found out next day and wanted to take advantage of the promotion but everyone says, 'portal already happened, you missed out, we own your ****, too late.'
So far I am not impressed with their customer service. My bad for snap buy of the Kyocera deserves no praise, however.
Will try it!

Thanks for the information, well lets get started
I have an HD6 that's on 5.3.1 that was successfully rooted. I've always used Kingroot to handle root access without issue, but going on the recommendation of the thread I followed to root (and many suggestions I've seen on here) I replaced Kingroot with SuperSu. All was well for a few weeks, but I started noticing instability in some apps that I use all the time. I never had such problems with Kingroot, so via process of elimination I figured SuperSu must somehow be to blame. Under settings I chose the "tidy up" option for if you want to uninstall SuperSu and replace it with another root control app, so I chose it. I DID NOT choose the full unroot / uninstall option although that's what seems to have happened. The steps were simple enough. SuperS would uninstall and close out. I then rebooted to finish the process and installed Kingroot. That should have been the end of it, but Kingroot informs me that I'm not rooted. There is no direct root for this tablet on this is version afaik, and the process to root is long and I don't care to repeat it. I don't need root that bad. I'm mainly curious since this should not have happened. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and is my root completely gone or just hiding?
Just need to boot into TWRP and flash SuperSu.zip, boot to OS, authorize SU to Kingroot, then unistall SuperSU. It should work fine
