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.

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?
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.

Try an app called SuperSu-Me Pro worked to get rid of kingroot for me!
Not every device is rootable.
Hello, My very first post and I am asking for help (sorry),
My 17 year old daughter bought me a Anson 7" 3G IPS screen Phablet / Tablet PC for my Christmas present just gone, All was going well with this tablet phone until recently when every day a new app is installing itself without me knowing, So my daughter said install and run malware bytes, Which I did and it found 7 threats it got rid of 5 by prompting me to uninstall the apps, The apps that was preloaded and come back when you do a factory reset but two still remain and cannot be got rid of, I have rooted the tablet with Kingo so that I can use Link2SD (which kind of works) Anyway that another story.
The two are:-
Android/Trojan.Downloader.Agent.ea
/system/app/service.akp
and :-
Android/Trojan.Gedma.rp
/system/app/SmsReg.akp
I've typed them out as they look on the Malware Bytes screen shot I took in hope someone will help me get rid of these threats
If I left anything out just let me know and sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place

Anyone ?
This is standard with China based devices. Nothing you can do about it really.
Anti virus apps are really pointless as none of them are made to really work with Linux and android.
I just bought this phone about 2wo weeks ago, & it's actually not a bad for a Tracfone. It runs on version 5.1.1. But forget specs lol. It's currently not activated, & I'm not so sure if that matters when it comes to the actual process of Rooting. I downloaded KingRoot, but I seen that before Rooting I would have to unlock the bootloader. So I followed the procedures only to stumble upon something wasn't right.. I couldn't put my phone in either fastboot, download, or recovery mode.. No matter what I did. I've tried every guide & forum, but nothing. I finally called my service provider to see if they could figure out what the problem was. They came to tell me that I wasn't going to be able to access those features until I activate the phone. (which sounds really suspicious & stupid) I noticed I can access safe mode. What sounds more suspect is that I have to pay for a plan just to activate it, which I never had to do with a phone before. Nevertheless, to sum it all up.. Is there an actual way around this craziness? I never had to go thru this much to root a phone. I honestly feel like there is no point of having an android without unleashing it's true potential. Please, any help would be great. :fingers-crossed:
I have the same phone and the same problem. Still have yet to find a way. anybody?
Looks as though Straight Talk (ST) sets it up that way. I have had other straight talk phones and have always had issues rooting their phones. In fact I have never been able to root their phones. Please someone, show us a work around solution these ST phones.
Same on net 10. Think its an lg thang...
activated my phone and have same prob...help
Funny how I have a LG Optimus Fuel that has really crappy specs and can root easily with android kitkat but this phone is lollipop and better specs and newer can't root at all. I think it is more bootloader locked and only ones that are not locked are mediocre to expensive phones from the manufacturer now. My Optimus Fuel is a Tracfone too, just like the Rebel. I doubt anyone is interested in getting this one rooted. I would not mind because when I rooted my Optimus Fuel it let me put my Micro SD Card into exfat instead of fat32, which exfat sound quality is better and boosted volume a couple db. Only thing with Optimus one is that 512mb makes the music randomly skip. So that is one reason to get the Rebel rooted but we are SOL with this device.
Straight Talk is newer than Tracfone, because Tracfone created Straight Talk. Not the other way around. Tracfone has been around the longest.

Have you tried shutting the phone off, and pressing the buttons after connecting to pc. I don't remember the exact buttons you press. I have worked on a few lg phones before and that was the only way i was able to obtain the mode i needed.
Cannot Root my LG Rebel LTE (L44VL)
I am also having problems trying to Root my my LG Rebel LTE (L44VL) too. My Backup&Restore program of choice is Titanium, but it requires that my system needs to be "Rooted" first. I couldn't find any settings to do this (even when I enter 'Developer Mode'). I've even tried several popular Rooting app tools, including RootKing and Kingo Root (Mobile Version), but they all were not able to Root my system. Please help me with this problem...thank you very much.
At the moment I really only need to backup the critical *system* files, any recommendations?
Looks like this phone is never going to get the root attention it needs. It been out about a year now since release and nothing at all. No one cares about this phone.
Have any of you tried going into developer options and turning on the oem unlock option before trying to get into download mode or anything? Just a thought guys...
As for the optimus fuel,install towelroot. open it, tap the title/symbol 3x, change the 2nd from last digit to "zero". Tap "make it rain". Should root it in literally like 3secs...

No this phone sucks without root though lol.
I've been fiddling with this phone for months, the farthest I've managed to get was a temp root, which is undone when the phone is reset. My theory is that it's possible, if done within the timeframe before the phone resets itself, whether that means pushing files through adb or shell, or flashing a custom Rom. My phone has been through a number of battles, and has seen more bricks than a brick wall..but, I'm still at it.

This phone is the same as the Optimus Zone 3, or the LG Leon, or the LG K4, however the Optimus Zone 3 seems to be its direct ancestor.
I have successfully temp rooted with kingroot 5.2.2 and oem unlock, problem is a random crash/reboot soon follows which of course flushes all the root.
We worked on this phone and the zone 3 a few years back. Never had any luck with this handset. It's another cheap undesirable that will most likely not see any development for itself any time soon.

So Grandma got the my three kids this tablet and even though it has a sdcard slot you can't install anything to it. I'd like to use Appgr III or Move2SD anything to install more than a few games for the kids. I've tried Kingo root (both from google play and from a laptop) but no luck.
Anything else I can try?
Here are the details:
Model:
Y88X Plus
Processor type:
Quadcore-A23
Android version:
5.1.1
Firmware version:
v.3.3rc5
Kernel version:
3.4.39

Tue Mar 22 23:27:08 CST 2016
Build number:

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Bright Tab V90-HD is the same
Other than the processor being an A33 everything you say is the same as this worthless tab I have, I was trying to replace an Acer tab that was slowly dying and when I purchased this one I forgot the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true" you know the rest. After trying to research the tablet and the elusive 16GB that it shows but is inaccessible I have concluded that I just wasted $45 that would have been better invested in a better quality item. The only thing I can tell you is if you can afford it to buy a better tablet that looks the same (most of them do) and not say anything to Grandma about the switch this will save you a ton of frustration that I have already experienced trying to make this work, I wish I could give you a ray of hope but I can only save you the disappointment I have experienced.
Hello,
I have two of this very same tablets, that I bought for my girls.
Since it is only used for playing and videos, I removed and disabled all I could, and I even emailed to support in order to know how to move apps to an SD, since 5.1.1 was supposed to be able to do so. They kindly answered and it was like: sorry you cannot move apps to SD.
I must admit this is a huge problem when you have a couple of paid app (like Disney story central) that are ginormous.
So a few months ago I tried to root it with the Kingo Root from my pc and it did not worked properly (root lost after reboot).
Yesterday I was trying to do some updates with huge problems due to the lack of space and decided to give the Kingo Root apk a try. It took a couple of minutes, got the thing done and moved me to a splash screen that suggested me to buy the premium app (which I avoided, since it was about 50% of the cost of the device ). After that I checked everything and it seemed to work, I removed the cleaner that it installed together with the super user, rebooted twice and still Superuser app was showing the device as rooted. A few ads stated appearing on my device, which annoyed me a LOT.
Since I could not install Titan backup due to lack of space (there are several unwanted bloatware preinstalled) and I am a noob with no big rooting experiece, I decided I would study more, went to Superuser menu and removed the root, the apps and cleared system cache in order to gain enough space for CCleaner.
I will probably try again once the new U1 sd cards will arrive.
Obviously I am not worried about IMEI (no GSM or anything) or data, since the tablets usually run under a Kiddoware parental control interface.
I read about some people suggesting to get rid of the Kingroot/ Kingoroot apps and put Supersu, but I am a bit worried about the risk of bricking the device since it seem less supported and exploited than other major brands.
Any suggestion?
