I've had the Kyocera hydro air for sometime now and tried kingroot and many similar apps but nothing seems to work to root my phone so if anyone has any information on how to root my phone I'll be very thankful and will appreciate any help I can't get.
I've tried everything... Seems to be locked up tighter than a gnat's behind.

Use kingroot apk, but you need to remove your SD card(that's the reason why many say Kingroot doesn't work)The bad news is that, it won't be permanent rooted. So do what you wanna do with your phone as long as it's rooted and if you wanna keep it rooted, don't turn it off or restart it. I rooted mine that way and installed titanium backup and got rid of some bloatware

So just use the app without the SD card in the phone? Do I remove it right before I open the app and root, and do I have to restart after? I got temp root once with the kingoroot PC app but titanium backup didn't actually remove bloat, it just said it did. Thanks!

I had an issue with this phone, i did temp root it and install supersu instead of kingroot using supersume. First of all, everything was going well, but after a few days the kingroot app started to increase its size up to the point it almost reached 1Gb in size. So I decided to uninstall it, and I got rid of that phone, I gave it to my son, he doesn't need a rooted phone anyway!
P.D. I did not reset my phone in the days it was temp rooted because it would lose root access after a reset. But anyway, I've got me a LG G Stylo H634 and I did root it using kingroot. This is everything left of my bloatware

I had this same issue with my Kyocera hydro air C6745
I was able to temp/broken root my phone with the sd card still installed with kingroot and it said it rooted, tried to do supersu and it failed saying something was locked.(been a few days).
Rebooting obviously gets rid of the fake root. Titanium Backup did not really remove bloat at all, the space was never actually freed up either.
Seems to be a lost cause. I decided to unlock the phone through ATT's online method and had it pin unlocked within 5 minutes.
Just collecting dust as a backup phone for whenever it is called to duty.
On to the LG G Stylo. I have the LG G Stylo H631(T-Mobile variant, the best of all of them), man this phone is still beautiful to this very day.
It's my main phone, I bought it on eBay for around 20 bucks+Free S&H about a week ago and it was clean IMEI just google account locked(I removed it easily) and in amazing condition.
She is better than my Samsung note 4's and 5's I've owned.
Muuuuch more stable as well. I have not had a single hiccup with it.

Just wanted to see if everyone is diving in and rooting their devices or not. As of right now, I'm still running stock. Haven't found much of a reason to root but would be to nice to have wifi tether and adblock. With one click root, I'm so tempted but still holding off in case any updates. So, have you gone ahead and rooted your new G3 yet?
I rooted mine specifically to disable updates. I'm not so much afraid of root exploits getting patched as I am any potential bootloader exploits being patched. I came from the galaxy s3, which got a bootloader update mid way through that was never cracked, so I'm little worried about that if I wait to long I can never unlock the bootloader. So far I've installed titanium backup, root explorer, and the kit kat sd card fix (no need for hotspot hack since I don't have unlimited data). I'm holding off on anything too major until the bootloader is unlocked and I can do a nandroid first.
I rooted the day I got my g3. I rooted and installed custom roms on my g2 and can't wait to do the same on my g3

I actually got a demo model from VZW, rooted that one, just to see how hard it was going to be, When I got my permanent one a few days later I rooted it out of the box, before installing anything else.

I rooted mine before I even set it up.
Had my G3 a couple of days before I rooted it. It was so simple to do. one of the 1st things I did was get it setup as a hotspot.
As with most of my phones, my G3 was rooted as soon as the battery was charged, and usually before being activated. Now if we could just get a bootloader unlock. :fingers-crossed:

which method are you using for the hotspot? That's a main reason I'd want to root but I believe the method in the dev. section, based on reading peoples comments, it's still not that reliable and requires extra steps to get it working.
I want to root just don't want to screw up my brand new phone. I've always rooted my phones but past couple phones I didn't cause they were locked down so I'm weary to jump back into it lol Everyone using stump root? Seems pretty straightforward with that method for us Verizon guys.

You honestly asked that on XDA???
The question is not "who rooted", but who didn't root?
Me?
1. Out of the box.
2. Activated enough with no SIM to get to ADB
3. Root.
4. Turn off and remove bloat (includes de-activating OTA).
5. Now activate normally and use phone.
My phones go from box to root in under 5 minutes.

1, download HotspotProvisionVsG3Mod.apk from 1st post and rename to HotspotProvision.apk
2, search for HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex in /system/app. I added .bak to both of them.
3, now copy HotspotProvision.apk that you remaned to /system/app. Change permission's to rw-r-r-
4, reboot

I also used IORoot and it's very easy, Stump wasn't out when I rooted mine but from what I've read Stump is super easy and reliable.
I walked out of Best But, phone activated and Battery at like 70% and hopped on my laptop which I had with me and rooted the phone right there in the parking lot so that I could freeze System Updates right away.
Although Verizon is so slow with OTA updates anyways I really could have waited lol
Root that thing then remove all the Verizon junk and use Greenify... You'll be even more happy with how your G3 runs after doing that and it's quite easy to do.

Becoming more tempted everyday lol My only fear is if the bootloader unlock takes longer than expected, and no recovery access is created so if Verizon releases an update, even if someone pulls the update we won't be able to install because our modded phones and of course, no rom due to no recovery. Maybe I'm thinking too much into it. It's been awhile for me.

The flip side of that is the first update could lock out all root methods and any potential bootloader exploits. There are a lot of smart people on this board, so I'd wager someone will find a safe way to update if no bootloader unlock is discovered by the time it's released.

Very true. Thanks for that link. I'm just afraid of my screwing up my brand new toy haha Not sure why though, it seems stump root is really straight foward. I just know once I do it, I'll start messing with xposed a lot. I know when I had my S3, I was flashing roms like once a day. My gf thought I was crazy.

Try either kingoroot or kingroot... Kingoroot worked on my Hydro Icon.

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.

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
Hi, i was wondering if Kingoroot is safe to use. I want to root my phone but i'm really new at rooting and i don't know too much about rooting.
Thanks in advance
Yes
It is however I recommend KingRoot as it is better and safer (kingroot.net)
kingoroot worked to root my old lg volt but....
...but I have a moto g3 that I rooted with twrp, and I now recognize the danger of the rooting apps. See after routing my moto g3 I installed all kinds of stupid apps that I really didn't understand. I screwed up the phone about five times now. The reason I could do that though, is because twrp has my back. Every time I have the phone running great, I create a backup in twrp. So when I get things too screwy I just go back to one of my backups.
What I'm saying is KINGOROOT is NOT AS DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN BE TO YOUR PHONE WITH ROOT PERMISSIONS AND NO RECOVERY. Every app in the playstore that requires root can screw up your phone. Believe me ive screwed the pooch enough to know.
So a few months ago I bought my first Android phone in years, a ZTE Max Duo from Straight Talk. Unfortunately, since then I have found absolutely nothing about the phone on forums like this, let alone any way to root it. Has anyone managed to root this phone, and if so, how? I don't have regular access to a PC, but if the only way to root it is through a PC, I might ask for permission to use one.
I am looking for the same with this phone.. It seems like a great piece of hardware thus far bit could use some tweaks that a root could certainly take care of but no info whatsoever.. Any help with this would be great.
I figured out how to root the ZTE max duo (z963vl) via (iroot) I have the exact file and can tell u what to enable for root email me at [email protected] il send the file
Any Success?
It looks like there are a few variants of this device. I have the Imperial Max that is sold on US Cellular. Exact same phone and specs except for the radio.

KingRoot now roots the phone but the bootloader is still locked!
The ZTE max duo LTE (z963vl) can now be rooted via KingRoot but only temporarily. When you reboot the phone you will lose root. You can not make any system changes either still because the bootloader is still locked after root. You can not update BusyBox either. Also when you root the phone with KingRoot it says "This model restricts root authorization". To fix that error just completely close KingRoot and re-open it and it will fix the root authorization error. Dev's or anyone for that matter please help unlock this phone's bootloader please I really want to start getting custom roms and recovery for this phone plus I want to be able to write to /system. I hope this helps as much as possible and I hope the bootloader will become unlocked with all the Devs help. Also I did this with the apk version of KingRoot only because I do not have a PC.
Great news...

Wall here's what my whole setup was... I ran King root... It said I was rooted but didn't restart my phone... I installed superuser and ran it... This is the one I used... Supersu by chainfire... I installed busy box also but had the same problem about need to update binary files blah blah blah... I then installed a root checker and said I was rooted... Super su was found and busy box... Still no reboot... So I tried installing a few root apps... I installed a app remover for bloat were and it worked... But... When I reboot my phone I lose it all... And can redo it all again but it won't stay on there... Not tech dumb but don't know enough to figure it out... Hopefully that helps you a little as far as what my experience was... Like I said before... If I boot into recovery there is an adb sideboard option so... Just hope it gets figured out soon... Would love to have this rooted with a good room on it.... Starting to think it's a hopeless cause... One more thing to add... While rooted I installed a boot manager to see if it would go into a deeper boot recovery mode at restart but it didn't...
I honestly wish I could swap out Kinguser for something else. SCR ScreenRecorder Pro doesn't seem to realize that there is root, even after granting it permission through Kinguser, which leads me to believe either I'm not actually rooted, or KingUser is garbage.
Does anyone have the firmware for this phone?
No answers? Nothing?
Did you guys try $su reboot disemmcwp in a terminal after rooting? That's always the next step on ZTE phones.
Going to try that now... Can't find a copy of the firmware anywhere however. Worries me in case I need to reflash

Just tried it myself, but after it's done rebooting, the root's still gone.

Yeah, I'm on the same V30 build, got the update a couple days ago. As you're the only other person I've ever seen to own this phone, I got to ask you - do you ever get issues with GPS? For me sometimes the GPS simply dies (can't see/find any satellites) and the only way to fix it is to force stop Play Store (found out by accident). Pretty sure it's a software issue, but not sure if it's only for me or for everyone.
any news about rooting coolpad torino s?
I did try various King Root versions, but none of them worked. Other one-click root apps seemed way too shady to install on the phone. Sadly I think there won't be any way to root this phone considering how unpopular it is.
I even contacted Coolpad EU customer service about root possibilities (I know some Chinese manufacturers allow root access), but after a quick response they completely stopped responding. Quite unprofessional from them, next time I will steer clear from Coolpad brand.

Just a quick update. Today I managed to get a root access with the latest Kingoroot app on a first try.
Initially I just wanted to remove bloatware like Zumei weather, Facebook, Touchpal and unroot because Kingoroot seemed quite shady, for some reason it connected to internet from time to time and phone seemed to work slower than it should.
BUT by sheer luck I managed to replace Kingo SuperUser with SuperSU. Basically what I did:
1. Root with Kingoroot and reboot;
2. Install SuperSU from Play store;
3. Remove Kingo SuperUser (it was installed when rooting with Kingoroot) and reboot;
4. Run SuperSU and update binaries -> normal;
5. It didn't work the first time, it was stuck on "Installing, please wait..." so I rebooted my phone and repeated 4th step;
6. This time it updated just fine, I removed Kingoroot, rebooted and had a root access.

Hi, thanks for this thread, but I do not work with the Kingroot, is it possible that some other program has come out, or do you know if there is anything else to root the Coolpad Torino S E561_EU?
Sorry for my English
Thanks in advance

Sorry, I've been away from XDA for some really long time. I used KingOroot not Kingroot. Also I forgot to mention, but you need to enable Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking there.
Though it's been some time since I last tried rooting, maybe Kingroot works now too.
