Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone might know a tried and tested method for rooting these android boxes.
I believe some of these boxes come pre rooted but not the ones running lollipop. Just my luck. I have checked with root checker and it's definitely not rooted.
I was thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) that the correct twrp file along with the correct supersu would do the trick?
Could anyone post me any links?
I have rooted Samsung phones before so I'm not that new at this but im far from ana dvanced user, but there appears to be very little information concerning rooting this particular box.
Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks.
Try Kingroot first . Then Kingoroot. Then download supersume and you are rooted with SuperSU.
[STEPS]
1. Download Kingroot first.
2. Run the application and let it do its thing.
3 If it didn't work uninstall it and download Kingoroot. (IF IT DID DOWNLOAD SUPERSUME AND RUN IT)
4. Download Kingoroot.
5. Run the application and let it do its thing.
{{IF KINGROOT OR KINGOROOT SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED YOUR DEVICE DO NOT RESTART IT. RUN SUPERSUME FIRST}}
[YOU SHOULD BE ROOTED. IF NOT PM ME AND ILL HELP YOU FURTHER]
You can use SuperSu: download it on play store!

So, I thought I rooted my phone correctly. I followed these instructions from the page "Root I545VRUFNK1 Galaxy S4 I545 Without Tripping Knox" on androidayos. I downloaded root checker basic from the google play store and it said root access was not properly installed on the device. Anyone know if that app is credible? I also downloaded SuperSU on the Google Play Store and it told me there was no SU binary installed. I then got impatient and attempted to find an easy way to unroot my phone. I downloaded Root Uninstaller on the Google Play Store and uninstalled Towelroot APK using Root Uninstaller. I still have Root Checker Basic, which keeps telling me that root is not properly installed on my device.
How do I unroot my phone and then properly root it. Should I just send my phone back to factory settings first? I have android 4.4.2. Sorry if I seem clueless about rooting. I'm a total noob and this is my time trying to hack a device and I know what the average person does about technology.

Did you use odin to flash the NC5 kernel BEFORE rooting? If not do this. You must flash the NC5 kernel, root, install SuperSU, then flash the NK1 kernel.
I'v ran through all root methods (that i know of) for this phone (4.4.4) and none of them work. at all. Whats the point of a root dir if its impossible to access? Seems to be limited info on a root method for this phone. Is it root proof?

For now because of the locked bootloader
Root Achieved!!
UPDATE
I got Kingroot to root the zte speed!!!
but it doesnt keep root for very long. usually only stays rooted for a matter of minutes, and you have to reroot it everytime you reboot
I had to install "certificate installer" from google play and install a root certificate.
now im just trying to figure out how to keep it rooted
me to i cant get root to stay there maybe the kingroot guys can fix that in a updat.

Wanted to post update on this thread for people who come by via Google wanting to root that zte speed, as I was sick of coming by this thread as seeing no answer from the search results.
I did the following and was able to get permanent root with SuperSU
Source/Inspiration for this guide (thank you hroark13): androidforums / zte-speed-n9130-permanent-root-achieved.1061137
With ADB enabled and hooked up, run " adb shell reboot disemmcwp "from your PC. This helps to unlock some key parts for Kingroot to work much quicker and persist. That was the secret sauce that was not known in 2015 when everyone was trying to root this at first.
I used Kingroot 5.3.8 from APK mirror as that was easiest (no need to install the Kingroot application on PC just downloading the APK is enough to the phone). I was also running AnTuTu Benchmark Stress Test at the same time as running Kingroot, but this might not be necessary.
I installed Busy Box, and got the SuperSU downloaded ahead of time from the play store as well. I had tried to run Super SU but it couldn't replace the binary, so:
Finally, replace Kingroot with SuperSU by using the Super-Sume Pro app, pretty much just follow through the prompts in the app, but before you start be sure to disable Auto Updates in Kingroot first to prevent a possible conflict. The app will prompt you to reboot, which you can do.
Should have permanent root on your ZTE speed now, you can skip the last step if you like the Kingroot manager but generally people like Super SU better so I changed it to that (less janky).
Warning, if you screw any of this up there is no way to recover your ZTE speed so therefore you could end up with $20 brick.
Thank you, hope this helps someone out who has one of these in their junk drawer.
I have an LG G3 32gb D85521A but I can't root it with the 5.0 firmware it came with. I need to downgrade to KitKat in order to root it, but I don't know which KDZ to use.
Which one is for the 32Gb version and what happens if I use the wrong one?
At this moment I have
Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz
Greece D85510L_00.kdz
Spain D85521A_00.kdz
The way I see it, the Spanish seems to be the one I need (D85521A matches my model), but what happens after I root the phone and need to upgrade back to 5.0? Will LG Suite install its Spanish counterpart of 5.0?
GOOD NEWS!!!
I've managed to root my LG G3 without the need to downgrade to KitKat. PurpleDrake's method helped me do that and Root Check confirmed it, but:
1) I've followed PurpleDrake's instruction and went online to install SuperSU and it said something about a binary update, that there is another root in the system that prevents SuperSU from updating and that I should uninstall it in order to proceed.
2) In one of my attempts to root my phone I've installed Kingroot but it failed to root it. (there were some ads and when I scrolled down there was something about a memory boost and a button TRY IT. It required internet connection so I gave up. The root didn't work so I've uninstalled the app, or so I thought.
After PurpleDrake's root I've performed a factory reset to see if SuperSU stays in place, but instead of that I saw Kingroot stuck in my system.
Is there a way to totally get rid of Kingroot and keep SuperSU even after a factory reset?
Is Kingroot the program that prevents SuperSU from updating, or PurpleDrake conflict with it?
Hello. I have a vodafone smart prime 7 with android 6.0.1. I try a root with kingroot apk and sucessfull. But in 1 minute the smartphone restart alone and after i dont have root permissions. Someone can help me? pls

Hello, after you root your device, go to google play and install chainfire's super user. Uninstall kingroot's su. Run chainfire's super user, update it, restart device, and voila.
Hope is helpful.

Thanks. I try it. But without success, because I can't actualize the binary in superuser, go failed.
Okay so I have not seen anything new in regards to us unfortunate enough to have the Cricket variant of the grand prime, so I decided to put together a little step by step to get xposed installed and running on this device, I think it may work on others as well, but since I have not attempted it then do not just assume it will. This guide is as stated in the sub line of the post for the SM-G530AZ running 5.1.1 Lollipop. I am not responsible if you brick or bootloop etc etc your device. So long as you can follow directions you should be fine.
1. First of all you must already have root access on your device, mine is using SUPERSU to handle root requests. If you do not have root yet then check forums for way to do so it is there already, however you must root with kingroot or manually with the same exploit that kingroot is leveraging in order to obtain it before attempting the install of xposed, otherwise it will fail.
2. You need to download the zip file attached to this post to your desktop or device and unzip it into your device sdcard.
3. Once you have extracted the apk and zip files into the sdcard you need to install the xposed installer apk so make sure you have enabled Unknown Sources from your settings/Security menu and you may get a warning from the device as well that is okay just tap okay and finish the install.
4. Now you need to download flashfire from the play store and install it as well. Open flashfire and flash the xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip that you will have extracted Choose flash zip in flashfire and make sure you leave automount unchecked. You can open the xposed installer app to make sure it recognized it, which it should if you flashed it properly.
5. Now you can enjoy the Xposed Framework on your device.
I am currently attempting to learn as much as I can about the trust zone and smc as I can tell you that is the only way we are going to get custom recovery and roms on this thing sadly. I am also following someone who claims to be able to rollback android from 5.0+ to 4.0-4.4.4 via jtag which is something I too have pondered on if it was possible and honestly I think it would be, I would like to explore the possibility that their may have been more vulnerabilities within the device prior to the 5.1.1 update I currently have 5.1.1 installed which is what the device had at time of purchase for me, however some may still be running 4.4.4 if you happen to be using 4.4.4 still then I cannot say whether this guide will work or not for you I think it would but you would probably need to use a little older version of the xposed installer but I am not certain, I would probably just update to lollipop if you really want to be safe about it and the firmware has been posted on these forums as well. Please hit the thanks if this helped you out at all, and if you are confused or have an issue you can pm me and I will try my best to get back to you whenever possible. But this is how I got xposed working on my device by simply rooting with kingroot, then using the mrw script to remove kingroot and replace with supersu and enabling unknown sources. The root guide that exists for this device however stated to flash some other boot.img and I actually had issues when I did that step, so after i went back to stock again I did the root guide with kingroot and did not ever flash that other boot image and all worked fine for me.
Awesome thanks. I assume install King root then flashfire then SuperSU binary then uninstall king root. For SuperSU?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Thank you so much!!!!!! I have been trying to do this for 3 days now!!! I have soft bricked my device, restored it, got it going again, soft bricked again. Over and over. Until finally, today on my first day off all week I took the time to read your posts over again. I found this one and it finally got me there! I have the same exact phone, Cricket Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Model SM-G530AZ. I have been struggling to find a TWRP or CWP recovery and I am pretty sure there isn't one available currently. So then I found this method and FINALLY SUCCESS!!!!! Anywhere I can donate to you?
