So I have an iphone and as you know iphones have only one sim card slot so I needed to use two lines at the same time and I asked a friend for a cheap phone for my other sim and he advised me with a phone called xperia E4, ok I bought the phone it was cool way too cool for its price but then I wanted to root the phone,so here the madness began I installed an app called kingroot that app can get root without me having root here is why the app has been a system app when I installed it but when I try to root my phone with it it fails and every other rooting app/program failed either and some freaking add viruses could even be in the system apps, please if aby one knows a good rom post the url to it because I don't trust the roms I find and can somebody explain that s*** is going on with my android.
Ps sorry for my terrible English.

HI,
I want to be able to take mobile chip and pin payments. World pay (and a few others) have a solution for this however they do not work with rooted phones.
I have found this thread which is smiler and tried what they mentioned however it does not work.
You can download the app from here and have a play https://mobile.worldpay.com/app/
Does anyone have a work around for this?
Thanks
Mathew
Is there something I can do with my phone to allow this to work?
Has anyone be able to get the Worldpay app working on a Rooted phone?

Think I'm going to have to unroot my old DHD for Worldpay to work as I've just sold iphone4 (although was was jailbroken so would have been ruined going back to stock) and Nexus 4 is on its way so this will be wifes phone (which she will basically hardly ever use. Shame there isn't a work around, now I need to find out how to unroot
Unroot via SU app.
Sent from the little guy
What a great idea!!! I had never thought of this so thanks for pointing it out.
Unfortunalty this did not work so I guess the application does not look at the root or it could be looking at a couple of things. Does anyone have a different idea?
Get root checker, maybe you're not rooted at all.
Sent from the little guy
Got root checker and everything checks out. Any other ideas?
Iam gutted as I thought we had cracked it!
You can Always reflash.
SU full unroot should've worked tho.

When you say SU do you mean supper user?
Mathew
Yeap
Sent from the little guy
Great I chose Temp Un Root is that correct?
Huh? You open SU app, go to preferences/settings and select full unroot.
Sent from the little guy
Interesting I open up SU I dont have a preferences option. However I do have an info option that allows me to temporally unroot the device,
Are we talking about different things
Just to let people know there is no way around this issue you have no chose but to go back to a stock ROM.
So recently bought the straight Talk ZTE Valet, and have been searching for a root for this device if anyone knows of any or is interested on trying to develop a root exploit. I'm willing to dump any and all files, as well as try any and all rooting methods. If there is already a root im sorry for making a duplicate post.
I'm also looking for a root process that might work on the ZTE Valet now available on Tracfone. Help please!
Any luck?
I am also looking for a root solution for this phone. Either of you had any luck?
I have tried many methods that have worked on other devices, but no luck yet.
I'm also interested, mainly to move more apps, data. The phone does move some apps to a micro SD but not all.

have you guys tried superone click? i have to ask is it gingerbread or what os android version is it?
It is JB 4.1. I haven't tried Superone but will check it out. My root experience has been limited with a Hisense tablet and methods specific to that.

The ZTE Valet Z665 has JB (4.1.1).
So far, I've tried Bin4ry (v32), framaroot (1.6.1), and poot (current version). None worked. In looking at superoneclick, I might not be understanding things very well but it appears to require a CWM image which does not (yet) exist - is that right?
What other methods appear to be worth a try and what have people tried on the ZTE Valet? Anyone aware of a source for the stock ROM? Are there other phones sufficiently similar where the CWM recovery would function on the Valet?
BTW, I just picked up my ZTE Valet at Fred Meyer where it was on sale for $49.99 (Tracfone, no contract). It's a great buy for that price. The sale is over but if interested, keep an eye out for the ads.
Like others, thanks for any ideas.

OK - tried superoneclick and z4root. These in addition to Bin4ry, framaroot, and poot didn't work. I'm a novice at this and am nervous trying some of these options that seem to lack proper pedigree and openness. Also, since I don't have a backup, a more invasive technique also worries me. I'm hoping one of you brave souls will try something out and hopefully give some of us some specifics on what you did to get this phone rooted. It would also be helpful to know what you did actually try (details) that didn't work. Thanks.
Update: Also just tried the adb method which didn't work for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224774[/adb root guide].
Although I took care in trying each of the methods mentioned above and repeated them, I could have screwed up. So ... maybe someone else can report their results just to be sure. I would not re-try z4root but the others don't seem too harmful and my phone still works.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224774

Tried all of the above also z4root really seemed to take a toll on the device a question I was wondering is if we had an almost identical phone would the cwm for that work?

My ZTE turned out to be defective. Screen become unresponsive even after going to recovery, trying to wipe caches/reformatting and even finally attemting to restore to factory state. K-mart wouldn't accept it for an exchange since I bought it out of state. TracFone says they will'll replace it after I ship it to them on their dime. Up until this I liked the phone, except for sound clarity outgoing seemed poorer than mt LG290c from one test from a noisy place.
New phone received and checks out OK enuf to keep. WiFi OK at home but only fair with weak source. Doing this on my Hisense Sero 7 Pro which does better with less than strongest wifi. Screen slightly less crisp at lower brightness than original when it worked. Got 9x more min, text, MB than expected when transferred from old phone so definitely keeping.

Hey I read some place that I could root my 1717 running 4.1.2 without a computer.using my sd card. I have already tried all the one click apks. I know it said something about a app I could get in play store to use from my phone by chain fire. Could someone fill me in on the correct steps so I don't brick my phone. Sorry I'm new at all this and have no access to a P.C , Thanks in advance for any help its means a great deal to those of us that are just learning!

Ya that's what I'm beginning to fear, after a little more investigation I found out chain fires mobile odin is the app I was talking about but is able to flash from your phone but not root.must already be rooted to use.
yes I have already tried it, and tried make it rain. And have tried every other one click method that is out there I have been searching everything for like a week now my phone was rooted using the application before but then I done the update from 4.0 4 to 4. 1. 2 and unrooted it and now it will not let any application root it again without a computer I guess unfortunately I do not have access to a computer so I guess it's time to pinch pennies and buy a laptopbut. thanks for your reply.

SO when do you think Samsung will release 5.0 for us?

I mean I've been known to be wrong plenty of times in my life so I could be wrong about this also. But I really don't look for them to push the 5.0 update to us because our phones were brought out in 2012 so there almost 3 years old and they look at that like its a old device that is becoming obsolete. So I think the last update may be our last one but like I said don't hold me to that because I've been known to be wrong before. But if it happens it will be a surprise to me.
you know the last reply I got to my post about asking if I thought they would push the 5.0 update to us got me thinking if I have to spend a bunch of money on a new computer just to be able to root this phone then I may as well go ahead and update and buy me a new phone seeing how this phone is now approximately 3 years old. So has anyone have any opinion or a word of advice on a nice smartphone that is easily to root without a PC and rivals that of the new Samsung models if Samsung is going to start putting lock strap loaders and other fixes and technology in the phones to keep us from rooting them then I don't think I will buy Samsung devices anymore. And switch to something else so does anybody have a idea on what one of the top phones would be to switch to that is easily to root?
I want to know if there is way to root the new MAX+, I had the old one n9520. Now I want to root the new one but can't find a root for it anywhere.If someone could help that would awesome. Iv'e tried Towelroot Kingroot and Framaroot none have worked if anyone can find me a working root method it would be helpful.

I believe this is a good phone, and think it would be a great phone if we could achieve root. I am not a Dev but I will be glad to help someone smarter than me to push this device in the right direction. Let's not let this one fall through the cracks.
Kingroot 4.95 causes brick.You have to go to recovery and do factory reset!!!
Thanks this is the only root I could get to work zte max N9521
It is a PC root from kingoroot if u can take out the super user app after u get it rooted u could try to install a different su binary file but I don't know how to do that yet so I'm stuck with a half rooted device....
Can anyone help???

I agree and I'm really surprised this phone hasn't gotten much more attention considering how nice it is. For what is a prepaid phone for many (via Boost), I can lay it down on the table next to my nice Oneplus One and honestly it holds its own for day to day use. Plus, it even has the rare microSD!
But, these Boost and ZTE people apparently have created the only damned unrootable device I personally have ever experienced. I mean, even my darn Nook readers are rooted. And I say unrootable because unlike others (even IOS) that may not be "this version" so we "wait".......apparenlty there has yet to be ANY version of this phone's build that can be rooted.
I'm so confused as to why since the "Kingroot" can get an apparent temporary root, but then for some reason the partitions are "read only" and some other similar phones take a command (makes sense, I'm still following) to first change to R/W, then use the temp root and install perm root like I have on every other device using either TWRP, stock recovery (whoops this phone they removed it), or let SuperSU try it. But, from the many hours I"ve spent trying to force the temp root to get R/W or even get a recovery running on it, it seems to me that the hangup is there is some special sauce in the way that the filesystem is locked and that is the key.
So, for any gurus reading, is it just that this phone isn't "popular" enough, or that it's just not in use in the scene? It sure seems there is always some part of the xda scene that touches every one of these devices even a tad, heck even my ancient crappy 1st gen Nook tablet still get help if I ask LOL.
I'm wondering how many would donate a few bucks if a dev would dedicate some cycles to finding a way to free this really nice ZTE Max+ N9521...I know I would!

Bump. How do we perhaps set up a bounty for this phone? I see multiple people have already said they would donate so how do we set up a bounty for root?

Hi all, first i'm new so, nice to virtually meet you ! let me introduce ( a bit ) : i'm not a developer or anything, classic phone customer, i can try things with softwares or app but i'm lost when it goes on writing codes/commands.. now you know me, my phone is a iRulu Victory 4 1ghz 8go 4core running on Android 5.1.1 it's a Chinese phone, i can't root it, tried kingroot, one click root and every popular root tool but it doesnt work there is no thread specific on this phone ( only iRulu x11with same specs but tab) on INTERNET except on Amazon,ebay.. Problem is : Specs are nice for price but it's a pain in the ass for app managing, i can't uninstall app correctly, i can't factory reset even with SDK software because my phone reboot then freeze on the iRulu logo, i can just reset by battery and when my phone restarts everything is still in place.. I can't even clean cache/ erase data of an app or it stays on the load ( even with Appmgr ).. And i can't root it as i said before so i can't manage it... Exept this, all is running fine Does this phone really exist somewhere else and can i do something for my app managing problem or should i fix 4 mini wheels on it to make a skateboard? Thank you
Edit: Sorry I surely post in the wrong category but there's so many..
I have Victory 4. Paid $100 for it on amazon. Not enough people own one to make it worth the time for someone to figure out how to root it. Chances are there will never be a root exploit for this phone.
Before you buy a new phone, first check this forum to make sure that what you are going to buy can be rooted.
Uh yeah u right.. That's so bad, this phone could really be nice for price but this app management/impossibility to factory reset just ruin the experience.. Anyway, ty
Kingroot now works on the irulu victory 4 at least it did on mine (5.1.1)
