Kyocera hydro reach 5.1.1 root - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've been trying to root my Kyocera hydro reach from boost mobile running on 5.1.1 lollipop. I've had no success and no one anywhere has been able to help me. XDA you are my last hope.

Yeah I am having the same prob w mine. Tried KingRoot, towelroot, poot, framearoot, one click root, and I guess not knowledgeable enough to install adb? Any suggestions?

Free Wi-Fi Tethering so I'm in no rush....

Has anyone successfully rooted the device yet? or are you basically just trying to get the ball rolling?
With mine(boost mobile) somehow I'm able to use Wi-Fi tethering without root so I'm in no rush to root it but it would be a nice bonus.

soft bricked
had some success with Kingo Root desktop app but it was only temp and flashed wrong file for system update now its stuck in a loop no way to kill it good luck

I'd rather have the bricked one ? I cant seem to root the latest reach, the apk root apps are blocked some how, were any of you able to get dump or adb ?
thanks
I'd like to have a backup of this to work-on
any luck confirming the boat loader is unlock

if you get the MSL, I noticed there's a special usb connection for maintenance in secret codes
maybe a tool unlocks the boat loader in order to root ?

ZTE Score M Root

Is there a root app
I tried Z4root The app closed and I couldn't open it
Gingerbreak does finish in less than 10 minutes
Universal Androot Got a error
Try SuperOneClick or UnlockRoot (both are PC apps, you plug in your phone and click a button in them, it'll try and root your device over USB). They can root many devices.
Super One Click
Try it before found my device stop a step 7 wait for device
Had Android SDK Installed and usb driver installed
Did you enable USB Debugging in the Settings menu on the device? (It's under Applications > Development)

Try this out.
Apparently that has a Backdoor. Courtesy of ZTE.
You can get root right from the phone it's self.
The ZTE Score M is an Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) phone available in the United States on MetroPCS, made by Chinese telecom ZTE Corporation.
There is a setuid-root application at /system/bin/sync_agent that serves no function besides providing a root shell backdoor on the device. Just give the magic, hard-coded password to get a root shell:
$ sync_agent ztex1609523 # id uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
Nice backdoor, ZTE.
Give that try. Let me know if it works for you.

No. It did not work. I looked at that directory. Sync_agent is not even on my phone… maybe I have the fixed version. I can't catch a break with getting a rootable phone.
Is there a way to downgrade to a stock version?
Metro PCS has of vice grip on this phone too.

I rooted my zte-c x500 with superoneclick. Works like a charm.
Found this about hard reset that may help.
"You can dial ##337* from the phone's keypad and it will perform a hard factory reset
*It has been reported that if you have an SD card inside, it will erase it too so take out micro SD card just in case before resetting."
Try this thread for root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257

Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A (AT&T)

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a root for the AT&T Alpha? I saw CF-auto-root has one for the unlocked version (SM-G850F), however, I know that is an entirely different phone, so I'm not even going to attempt it. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Isn't one. Method you mentioned will not work.
Hmm, Thanks for the info. So I guess I'm just stuck on waiting for a binary to be released.

I think we will be waiting forever....the phone has been out for over 4 months and there is no sign of root for the At&t varient. I don't think there is enough following to make this a priority for any developers. I don't blame them.
I love the phone, I would love it more with root.....
EDIT - from what I have read, don't be fooled by the SRSRoot that claims it can root the At&t Alpha....it doesn't work.
i now that filling,same as you have iphon
battery will be calibrate ,boring interface....
So, is there any news on the root for G850A?
Well This sucks wife just got a replacement phone from her Samsung G3 with an SM-G850A and we cant root it

Any news?
Has anyone heard any news about any root for the SAMSUNG-SM-G850A?
Is anyone brave enough to try this
https://chimeratool.com/supportedmodels
I could be wrong but I think that it should be safe to try. Either the root works, or it doesn't and leaves your phone untouched. Only thing I'd worry about is the chance of any viruses the program can come with.
EDIT: Just tried it, it failed.
Thanks for trying. The looking continues.

Do the Chainfire roots for sltechn or sltecan not work for the AT&T version?
Once you do get root though, you'll be in the same boat as me... with no custom roms available out there because nobody is developing for this device.
I'm working on getting a recovery working.. but that's just step 1.

I'm currently working on a universal root method for the Boost/Virgin Mobile variants of the LG K3. I managed to gain superuser access on the Virgin Mobile variant running build no. LS450ZV4. Unfortunately this method has not proven successful on either the Boost Mobile variants or on the Virgin Mobile variants running build no. LS450ZV5. Should I find a universal method -- hopefully in the next few days -- I will post a tutorial in a new thread for the K3.

There are three of us trying a script for the Dirty Cow exploit on the K3. The dilemma thus far has been the paradox of gaining systemless root on a device with a locked bootloader.

There is no root method for the Virgin Mobile variant that I know of. If you are fortunate enough to have obtained a Virgin Mobile K3 with the initial release build of 6.0.1, then you may get full root access by using the latest PC version of iRoot, a one click root utility.

Hey I have a LG K3 (Kricket Wireless) Any Thing for that?
I'm not familiar with the GSM variants of the LG K3.
GSM, CDMA, same smell as far as obtaining root access. Same pinciples and techniques all around. FS structure may vary, I don't know for certain as I have only worked with the Sprint CDMA variety.
I have been working on a Root method for this device for a few months now. Currently I only have two workable theories due to the sboot and firmware almost globally updated to 6.0.1 as the stock ROM and persistance out of the box. I will post what I've got as soon as I achieve stable and permanent root access. I've scoured the internet and I think it will be the first, correct me if I'm wrong. If achieved this Lil LG will actually be worth a damn. Ha.

develop root amd get paid.....Twrp/kernel/root development

Willing to pay bouty for whoece roots j3 emerge aka smj327p aka j3popltespr .mm. bootloadrr unlocked by crom and knox disablrd with package dissl
Update Feb 22 ....i am now compiling a twrp and porting one from zenfone 3 with same chipset....so we are on our way to atleast a chance for permanent root via supersu zip. ALSO i am going to then work on a kernel with ideaa of su already installed via busybox so we can just flash kernel and update via supersu apk . Any collaboration will be via teamviewer and file sharing ....so id you wanna help pm me ....next ill be updatimg as soon as i begin testing twrp ...cheers and lets get this thing done.
Please post any tools or links to programs that will help and i will credit you when i finally post the twrp file.
You will be hard pressed to find anyone working for that device. Dens don't work on knock off devices. If you have an unlocked bootloader then grab the kernel source and make one.

No what I mean is that it is a copy of another device. It is just a rebranded Chinese based device. That is what I mean.
Boost is known for using rebranded knock off devices. Most of the time they don't even use any for of official software. It's normal some unknown, unheard of Android version.

And it's not really an engineering bootloader, it's combination firmware that gives you insecure adb to remove frp lock from frp locked devices.
There is no reason I can see for needing root without twrp. But if u must just reflash the stock recovery after your flashed root
