Is there already a way to root the CAT S40?
yes
Important Update:
A few months after using this method, I realise that now system updates fail on my phone.
I managed to unroot the phone using supersu, but no luck, updates still fail...
If I manage to bypass this, I will update this post, but so far, no luck...

Got root yesterday, but not sure how safe method is...
Steps performed:
- I first downloaded KingRoot-4.1.0.245.apk from an untrusted source that I can't remember I still have the file though, and could share it if needed, but again, I don't really trust it - I just hope there's no malware.
md5 of the file is 8b411efbf70b8d7f70d12bb4984775e2
- Once succesfully rooted with Kingroot, I Installed "supersu me" from playstore and used it to replace kingroot with supersu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro&hl=en
This seems to have removed all the chinese bloatware installed by KingRoot... but here again, I can't know for sure...
root access remains after reboot, titanium backup allowed me to remove some apps (like the cat ones) so it seems to work fine.
nandroid backup seemed to backup things correctly, but the recovery.img with a size of 8192 leaves me dubious....
So far I was unable to find any custom recovery for the CAT S40 though... I guess that should be the next step before starting to try to find custom roms... ^^
Any clue about safety of the method I used, custom recovery or custom roms for S40 would be welcome
edit:
When searching manually, I believe I got a better recovery dump;

I have success root my cat s40 with kingroot but i wanted change root app to SuperSU and phone had software brick :/
Is any method to reset this phone without warrianty? ( i have now on warrianty sent this phone)
Is any program from CAT for recover ROM? e.g. for samsung odin?
And where can download roms for this phone?
No clue about roms or recoveries so far... I got root with the method described, but again, not sure how safe.
How did you brick it? did you do as indicated in post or did you try manually?
someone has problems with the touch?

Do you think this (brick) also happens when i use:
-NewKingRoot (uptodate)
after that
-SuperSume Pro.

i know kingroot working good on this phone but
SuperSU bricked my Cat S40
Now i use galaxy s6 Duos.
i recommended DON'T USE SuperSume App if you want change KingRoot to SuperSU = brick s40.
if you want try you must know
s40 + brick = send for warrianty
Samsung phones + brick = samart switch or odin
Problem isn't program for change to SuperSU but SuperSU.
When i used on my galaxy s6 SuperSU root via TWRP without custom boot.img (lollipop 5.1.1)
I had too brick for using SuperSU on lollipop 5.1.1 must be boot.img MOD but i don't know what. when i used custom kernel with supersu my phone normal boot but zelf rooted = brick this is too in s40.
when you find problem 5.1.1 lollipop + supersu i think you can slove problem with SuperSU on s40.
I don't found this slove to SuperSU i used custom boot.img with my zelfcompiled kernel.
when you find slove to this problem met SuperSU + boot.img write here i want too know what is problem met boot.img in lollipop 5.1.1 met SuperSU

Thanks, then i won't root my Cat S40 for the moment. Because i don't want to keep Kingroot on it all the time.
Oh, and i send Super-sume Pro developer 'MrgatesJunior' a email with request to solve the Super-Sume pro issue on Android 5.1 CAT S40 with link to this postings. Hope he 'll find a solution / update Super Sume pro soon
We can confirm that removing King(o)Root with scripts and replacing it with SuperSU (as would be highly desirable) leads to a bricked S40.
Has anyone perhaps found a way of doing a full backup using a tool similar to SP Flash Tool for MTK devices?
That would help play around without sending the phone in on warranty claim every couple of days...
Cat s40 success SuperSU rooted
Hey i have no idea if there is a new topic for this .....i have a CAT S40 nothing will root it..it's running android 5.1 no app will root this phone and i must have tried most of them

Cat S40 android 5.1
Same problem.
I tried to do it by adb & fastboot. But I cannot make the option "OEM unlocking" visible in "Developer options". Tried to change dates as recommended in www, but nothing. I have one idea - my s40 from USA. Mb use VPN for router... But I lost few days for finding resolve. I'm tired.
I never will buy production of Caterpillar. This production not for people.

Bought less than a week from each other. Same phone, different android versions- mine Android 4.4.4 and hers is Android 5.1.
How can I upgrade mine to 5.1? Upgrade button in the settings menu returns the server is unreachable.

There is no way to update via pc. Look up ZTE USA service number and give them a call. They will connect you with tech support to get it sorted.
Did you ever get this sorted out? I just bought the same phone and it came with 4.4.4. Called ZTE and they said there's no update for this phone yet
Ive got a zte z936l I can obtain a temp root on it with king root but I think its unstabe can't seem to flash a custom
If you want to root this phone, you need to obtain temp root and dump your entire ROM to a safe place, like a computer. Then SWAP boot and recovery. And boot the ROM via recovery buttons. This will give you full root but when youre done using it you newd to switch boot and recovery back. ZTE is known for their system lockdown and this way circumvents it. If you can obtain the 5.1.1 bootstack from your moms phone via temp root and using dd commands to dump we can ALL have 5.1. All we will need is a twrp build.

I seen this above post. Full root can be gained if instructions are followed. Can you confirm this? I may just email them and pit in the request for both of the zte lever phones here in the house.
As for following your instructions, I'd have no issue doing as you say and providing 5.1 for xda. I'd prefer some more detailed instructions and possibly a irc/messaging platform for instant communication.
After temp root, open terminal and dump everything in "dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/" with dd commands onto your sdcard or PC. (dd if=/path/to/partition of=/dump/location/filename)
From there we decompile the candidates for boot and recovery and once we know which is which, they can be swapped. Then you reboot and obtain temp root again, which this time it should give you full root. When you're done using it, just swap them back and reboot.
I'm not sure about that guy saying you can just unlock bootloader because even with twrp the system will have ro lock on it unless boot and recovery are swapped. Look at the zmax if you're curious how it works.

I am installing ADB now and will follow these instructions the best I can.
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), they do not show my device so which one is it that I need? That link I posted about root and boot loader codes, he shows 2.8.70 and the closest device I see is the ZTE Blade.
The fella you replied to said he could get temp root with king root.

They are all .img files except a few. You may simply leave them blank.
As for twrp, somebody has to actually build it for our device. We currently have none.
Once the partitions are all dumped, please zip them and link me.
There should also be a fastboot mode we have access to, if we do, we can all simply flash the lollipop bootstack.

Oh **** yeah they're named. Zte has been known to only use /by-num/.
For fastboot to work you will need the fastboot drivers installed. Not sure if it uses the standard fastboot drivers or its own so Google might help. Try the ones in the zmax forum. You're the guy with lollipop, right?

STOCK FIRMWARE FOR E2303 FLASHABLE ZIP
UPDATE: Uploading because this time IT WORK! Thanks to @TheVektor for updater-script! But this isn't pre-rooted, because it not flash SuperSU. But it's still awesome because if you have problems with flashmode or other you can flash this as a recovery zip! Tested on E2303 with TWRP. Made with PRFCreator

STOCK PRE-ROOTED FIRMWARE FOR E2303 FLASHABLE ZIP
Hey guys! I had a problem entering flashmode and the only way for unbrick my phone was enter into recovery/flash a zip or fastboot flash.
For this, i made a pre-rooted firmware with PRFcreator. Now I am testing it. It will not install a recovery because xzdualrecovery is not compatible with our device. That means you have to flash it manually before start installing this.

Hey! I'm interested in this ROM, my device has a locked bootloader and I think this would solve out the issue of rooting without unlocking the bootloader. I can test the ROM. My model is: E2306

So we need create updater-script using similar formats:

AND
assert(package_extract_file("system.ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p30"));
Im not 100% sure this is the problem, but i hope it can help for you.
Edit:
OK! zip flashing finished (system flashed!), but supersu not installed by updater-script... idk why.
My updater-script: http://pastebin.com/8Lg7UseV
Ohh! Really Really Really thank you!! Now i can unbrick my phone and finally complete the roms!

UPDATE: Uploading because this time IT WORK! Thanks to @TheVektor for updater-script! But this isn't pre-rooted, because it not flash SuperSU. But it's still awesome because if you have problems with flashmode or other you can flash this as a recovery zip! Tested on E2303 with TWRP. Made with PRFCreator

Hello!
I have an off-brand (PumpkinX) Android 5.1 tablet that freezes at the Intel logo screen during boot. I can still get into Fastboot and recovery. The tablet identifies itself in fastboot as inet_w I101B. The serial number starts with Baytrail. When booting, the PumpkinX logo appears, then the Intel logo, at which point the tablet freezes.
Long story short...after several months of operation, some kind of corruption happens, and the tablet will not boot. The first one was replaced by the vendor. And the second one has now done the same thing. I have a logcat (attached) of what happens. In summary, the tablet starts throwing
Code:
E/EM FG ALGO Iface:(xxx): Failed to get File Descriptor
errors shortly after boot, and does this until it is turned off. I am trying to understand what is going on, so I can fix the problem myself.
When I got the second tablet, I made images of all the partitions, so if a partition is bad, I can restore it. What I am trying to figure out is which partition might be corrupted, and I am hoping that someone could look at the logcat and make a guess as to what point in the boot process this happens and what has been corrupted. The partition layout is as follows:
Code:
[email protected]_w:/ # ls -l /dev/block/platform/80860F14:00/by-name

Hey, so I got the new Gionee M6S Plus from China and was having problems trying to use Google Play (downloaded by apk). I also downloaded the Google Play Services apk and ran that (if I didn't, Google Play wouldn't even open). But whenever I try to open Google Play, it only shows the white loading screen and seems to "freeze" on the white screen. Also, I keep getting errors messages about "Google Play Services has stopped" messages and was wondering if that was related.
Thanks

Hi ,
After phone got restarted root was lost. My bootloader is still in unlocked state.
Please find recovery image and boot image link. Please help me to install google apps.
Recovery image URL = https://ufile.io/y88gt

Kindly do the needful.
Thanks
Hi, It seems my bootloader is unlocked .I tried fastboot oem unlock-go
c:\adb>fastboot oem device-info

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false

finished. total time: 0.000s
I have attached boot image and recovery file image in the previous post
Recovery image URL = https://ufile.io/y88gt
Boot image URL = https://ufile.io/sk85f
Please help me to install google apps. Thanks
I've spent so much time on this forum and learned so much that I thought this is best place to go for my last resort. I really need to root this phone. I want to be able to use some rooted apps and especially be able to get more apps on my SD Card. My phone is unlockable (In fact Cricket said all their current phones are) I have no fastboot, no proper recovery mode and not even a bootloader mode. When I type adb reboot bootloader it only reboots the phone. I've looked into flashing a new boot, but I don't completely understand how to make or how to get all the any of the Qualcomm flash tools required files. I'll need help with that if it comes to it. I can't even flash a different models stock, because all LG stock I can find is ARB00 and right now I'm ARB03 it doesn't matter if it's even a higher version stock like Pie or even a it's LG G7 ThinQ unless it's ARB03 or higher I can't flash it and of course I can't downgrade. Which would save me a lot of headaches because the Nougat version at least still has fastboot and is ARB00. Something I can work with.
I am about to go to Walmart and just buy it again, because their version is still Nougat. That's what I'll do if I find no answer here, but I want to give this phone another chance. I read this phone can be rooted with Magisk, but with no recovery and no fastboot unless there's another option I don't know if that's even an option. Is there any way to dd install Magisk? If so please let me know. I've also been told it needs to be manually rooted, but I don't know where to get started doing that. I know it's get the right su files in the right places, and busybox but how do I do that with no root to start with, and being unable to mount the system? Is there a way?
I'm seriously willing to try anything at this point even if it will brick my phone. I have insurance on it that will replace it no matter how much damage I cause it and like I said am willing to re-buy the phone at Walmart which might be the better option since getting it from Cricket will most likely just take me back to where I started with an 8.1 phone that I can't do anything with. I don't care much about custom roms or that sort of thing. There isn't any for this phone anyway. I just want it rooted! please if you can think of anything, anything at all please let me know!
I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu
Also If these will help

Nothing?
Okay from the lack of any reply I'm guessing there isn't a current way to root this device or nothing anybody knows. So I guess I'll get the Nougat version then, and see if I have better luck with it or wait until I save up enough money for another phone that I can unlock and root. If anybody thinks of anything I'm still willing to try, but I'm getting it's about time to give up and just never buy directly from cricket again.

Rooting a phone's Android doesn't depend on its Android version but whether it's bootloader can get unlocked or not what basically prevents rooting Android. Take note that not all OEMs/Carriers allow this.
If phone in question is accessable via ADB then to find this out you run this command sequence
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported"
If 1 is returned then phone's bootloader is unlockable otherwise not.
Thanks!

Thanks this is gave me some hope! I got a 1 so I guess it is unlockable! I can't use fastboot though. If I can figure a way to enable it maybe I can unlock and root it. The Nougat version still has fastboot enabled so that's why I wanted it, but it would be nice to find a way to unlock this one.
@sjjtnj
It's well known that not all OEMs/Carriers support Fastboot as intended by Google. They think that providing Revovery is enough.
FYI: The phone in question has a Recovery partition - as that's default with all Android devices. You enter Recovery mode this way
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "reboot recovery"
Now once you are in recovery, ADB will work instead of Fastboot.
Anyway:
Have you already tried

to unlock phone's bootloader - what requires the USB drivers suitable at 100% to the phone are got installed on your Windows computer?
How-To:
1. Download the Android Fastboot Tool v1.2 from here.
2. Once you have downloaded the file, extract the zip file.
3. When you are done with the extraction you open the tool by clicking on Android Fastboot .exe file as Adminstrator.
Note: Never have tried out this.

Rebooting recovery gives me the little green guy passed out with a triangle with exclamation mark as a heart and says no command. I clicked the buttons you're supposed to click with that error to get the recovery options, but it just reboots. Sometimes though very randomly I do get to a place to wipe data and reset the phone. So I say the recovery works about .05% of the time. Unfortunately I can't flash new partitions with dd without root so no changing the boot.img or recovery.img like I had hoped either. Thank you! I haven't saw that tool before, I'm on Linux right now, but will download it as soon as I get back on Windows. I'll update after I try it.
Still need to try

Sorry I haven't got this tried yet. I was trying to set up my Linux when it messed up and I had to restart the process. I'm keeping backups this time, but anyway just finishing that because I had to stop when I got a concussion. On the picture, it says to get in fastboot mode. I can't do that only download mode. So I don't think it will work, but I'll still try. I decided I'm going to rebuy the phone from Walmart that has Nougat and fastboot still enabled. That seems my only hope to unlock a phone and root it. The Nougat version is also ARB00 so I can flash firmware of a variant on that one if I need to as well. I know it sounds crazy to buy the same phone, but it's really all I can afford at this time. I'm saving up money for a better phone though, and my nephew has a really bad phone right now. So I can just give this one to him. He doesn't need root or anything so he'll like it.
