So I have a Starmobile Quest which is a local smartphone and I rooted it using a chinese rooting program called iroot, formerly vroot, as suggested by people using the same phone. At first the superuser app(which is a Chinese one) is working fine and I could use apps requiring root access but suddenly, something happened and now it won't give root access to any of the apps. I think, maybe root was somehow removed, and downloaded the root checker app and when I ran it, it told me that I wasn't rooted.
So I unrooted my phone using iroot and it was successful and again rooted it which was again successful. I go and run root checker again and I was surprised to see that I wasn't rooted. From there I repeated the unrooting and rooting process several times and still nothing. What I did notice was that whenever iroot was checking whether my phone was rooted, a pop up would appear on my phone which is from the superuser app asking for permission to give "shell" root access and I would always say yes.
I believe that my phone is actually rooted but the superuser app isn't promting me for root access whenever I use apps that require root, plus there is no log saved except for the "shell" one. I tried changing root access manager app to supersu and when I run it it tells me that it needs to update su binary. I click yes and use the normal method(I don't have cwm) and it tells me it's installing but after awhile I receive an error saying "installation failed. try rebooting.". I reboot my phone and try updating again and it still fails.
I tried everything the internet threw at me, reroot, factory reset, clear data, clear cache, etc and nothing's working. Can someone help me here?
Note: I can't find a stock/custom rom for my device. So flashing roms isn't an option for me.
Bump.
have you tried to flash another version of superuser?

go to your recovery and go to install zip ..choose your zip ..or just download supersu from the playstore

Do you need a custom recovery for that? Because the model of the phone doesn't have a custom recovery yet.
Also, I tried to install supersu from the play store and it didn't work.

Damn it. I guess I'll have to wait till they make a stock rom which I think isn't gonna happen since it's been half a year since the phone is released and there hasn't been any development.
Last question, Is it possible to flash your phone using a computer?

Yes absolutely. Just note that there are no rooting apps on the Play Store. Simply downloading SuperSU or Superuser will NOT root your phone. You need to be rooted first, and if the SuperSU or Superuser app isn't automatically installed, then once you root you can install SuperSU or Superuser to manage apps that require root.
Popular methods of rooting include z4root, framaroot, MTKTools and iroot (or vroot)
Z4root and framaroot are both android applications which you will need to get from their sites or XDA (just run a search). MTKtools and iroot/vroot are computer applications and use ADB. MTKTools can also create a custom recovery for your device, though I don't remember the process too well.
Once you're rooted you will either have your Superuser app installed or you'll have to install it yourself (I personally prefer SuperSU). I also recommend installing busybox as well.
Hope that helps.

So how do I do that?
Hello my buddy so I 've read your thread, there are many apps to do root like root master, framaroot, towel root, towelpieroot. And the way to install super su is doing again the root. And after to install it again.
These apps to do root.

So MTKTools can be found scattered all over XDA, and Framaroot has a dedicated thread (which I cannot link right now as I am on my phone). If memory serves, Jellybean and below had Dev options enabled by default. If not, go to settings -> About Device and tap on the build number several times until your dev options are enabled. Then simply enable USB debugging. When you plug in your device you may need to authenticate your PC to use the Debug bridge. Just hit accept. (I'm sure that you were aware of how to enable ADB but I felt I had to explain anyway)
I assume you have the ADB drivers for your device, but if not, there is a naked USB driver installer floating around XDA (I really would only trust XDA with stuff like this)
With ADB enabled you can use the iroot and MTKTools PC applications. Both are generally straightforward but don't hesitate to ask me if you have a question.
With the APK apps you can get from XDA and abroad, you can root the device somewhat easily.
Framaroot (last time I used it) has four options for rooting (latest version is 1.9.3) you will see all info you need on that thread.
Z4 root I do not recommend. It is somewhat outdated now, though you might want to try it as a last resort
Towelroot is fairly simple as well. Simply download and run the app and you'll either get root or you won't.
My personal recommendations are MTKTools for a pc toolkit (seeing as it can compile a custom recovery too, which it did for my Lenovo S6000)
For apk rooting, I suggest Framaroot. I've never had any problems with it thus far.
I hope that explained it enough but if not, don't hesitate to ask questions. After all, you never learn if you don't ask ^-^
Nevermind guys. I downloaded a bunch of rooting programs and tried them. Root Genius worked and now I have root access. Thanks for replying to this thread.
ReInstall SuperSU and check with Android Terminal Emulator.

Did you use the apk or the PC version to obtain root?
how did this work
So did you ever find out if the PC or apk was used. Was there any issues, how did it work. Also has anyone figured out a hotspot mod for this device. I have it on the boost unlimited plan. I really need the hotspot.
Kingroot non PC version will work on any device but you ever uninstall king root will not reroot that device
My question is will the PC versipn?
kingroot
So I can just install the kingroot apk and it should root my device. I am kinda new to this. Will it also install SuperSU or will I need to find a way to flash it, if I need it at all. Also. Does anybody know about how to get free hotspot. I read that changing the apk to end in dun will work. Anybody know for sure.
Yes second try but if you ever uninstall you will be looking for a new way king root will not work a second time nomatter how you try but its safe will not brick device and will cover as antivirus phone protection oh if use antivirus get rid myself f it before you try kingroot or your phone will glitch king root is read as threat because it has no limitations on what it can do BTW I use the y538 model
hotspot
Have you found a hotspot hack or mod. I am gonna wait till I know I can get free hotspot before I root it.
I have my y538 rooted but I really want a custom recovery or rom anyone got one or know how
King root didn't work for me I've tried all and PC version, but very new to android and rooting. When I run the app it gets about halfway then stops and wont. Is there anything else I should've done as well, sorry but can't find anything, anywhere else about rooting this phone and version

Use KingRoot APK, does it easily.
I dont like the app myself so im going to remove it with lucky patcher soon. Once king root is installed into the system i cant get him out for fear of loosing root. I just installed SuperSu fromChaindd but now I can not update the binary, Im going to clone superuser from my other phone so hes updated and then may he will stay updated when I install to system app with lucky patcher.
Oh, and by the way, Your bootloader is locked so you wont be able to change the rom. SuperSu couldnt even install himself into the system like he has on every other phone. Dont even try to install a recovery at this point because your phone may never boot again!
Someone is going to have to dump a backup and figure out how to fool the checks into thinking its a real OTA update on the way back in.
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.
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.

I would like a copy of that file if you still have it and don't mind sharing it.
Man I've been trying to find any custom ROM or something that can get me to 6.0+ or 7.0+ because I can't deal with 5.1.1
But after searching relentlessly it seems that it doesn't exist.
I've been trying to find a ROM we could port over but that's looking grim too. I made a request over at CM so hopefully someone gracious enough will make one.

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...

Hmmmmm...
So I tried Mardeys method and it did root like he said... installed su superuser and root checker... they worked... busybox wouldn't install... restarted my phone and lost root... so I did it all again then just powered off my phone and started it with power button and volume up... took me to recovery screen with a few options... one being sideload with adb...
I am new at all this so don't know if that helps but would love to get this thing rooted...

Which superuser app are you using? The one by ChainDD just crashes when I run it, and SuperSU keeps saying the binary needs to be updated but fails when I try to do it.

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
I'd like to get this phone rooted too I've only been only to temproot by kingroot

Just tried it myself, but after it's done rebooting, the root's still gone.
Edit: I've noticed that the XDA Labs app seems to think this is a ZTE Blade. Perhaps I might have some luck there?

Hi, i have the same coolpad and i´ve tried all Root tools but no success.
Maybe our smartphone is not public enough, no developers to get root / CWM or ROMs
We have to wait....
What Build did you have? I have updated yesterday to V30.

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.

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.
