Unable to find a root method for this particular model, would appreciate some help, I will provide any information on the phone, and as long as Knox doesn't break the phone if it's tripped I don't care if it gets tripped. Thanks in advance
I found a root method but, it's far too much work to have to run adb commands on a PC every boot through Tethered Root method.

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.
Hello XDA, I have a Alcatel idealXCITE 5044R from AT&T and I am having a hard time trying to root this phone. It comes with Android 7.0, if you found a way to root it please let me know.

I'm also currently trying to root this device. Like it's predacessor, the Alcatel Ideal (4060A), the IdealXCITE does not appear to have a locked bootloader. So, the best method for rooting this device will be to port/install custom recovery, and subsequently flash the SuperSU v2.82 systemless root script from custom recovery. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Please do the same. Thanks
if we could find a way to force it to enter in to the bootloader we could flash a custom recovery. edit: adb reboot bootloader does not work.
here is the buildprop: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634788588. if this phone is exploitable by dirtycow we can create a scrip to get to the bootloader or root it.
i found this line in the buildprop, #GTS force set flash lock to pass cts ro.boot.flash.locked=1. this could mean that the bootloader is locked.

Yes. You made a good find there. Systemless root is theoretically impossible with a locked bootloader, as I'm sure you already know. This device is looking more and more impenetrable every day.
are best bet to get root access is to call or email alcatel. plus that is what they sayed about the zte zinger but it got root access.

Wondershare tunesgo looks like it can root this phone. When I was running it my phone went into bootloader mode.

Hmmmm. I've had luck with Wondershare on devices that nothing else would root. Keep us posted. Thanks
I will
wondershare failed to root this phone, man is this phone hard to root.
Is anyone still working on this device, or has it been abandoned?
I was but I just gave up on getting root access. If you think you know of a way to get root access please let me know.
Has anyone tried KingRoot? I have had it root phones that other tools failed on completly
King root doesn't work. Any ideas???
try NUTSACKrootSystem it works for everything except getting you a life
Yet you're wasting your time posting non sense like that on some online forums. Apparently its you who needs to get a life buddy.
could anyone give me stock rom of 5044r?
im new to Android stuff, so please dont mind me if i do or say something wrong.
Lets start of with what ive done:
Used kingroot windows software to root my phone, it said everything was fine, root successfull and so on. Lucky patcher asked for root (so i know i do have it now), eveyrthing worked fine. Ive rebooted my phone leaving me with KingUser (as a system app) that can not be uninstalled or deleted from my storage. I tried adb shell to rm it, with no luck. The app also installs itself every time i reboot. Ive tried rooting the phone again with kingroot, with 'success' message BUT! if i run kingroot app again, the app itself searches for scripts to root the phone, like it wouldnt be able to detect the root! Ive done a factory restart with no luck. After some search ive found out that it was only a 'temp root' and my bootloader wont let kingroot to gain root after the reboot.
Can someone at least tell me how to properly step by step root with supersu? or flash the supersu? can i delete it witchout root? any help would be great
The Best method Would be To First Unlock Your Bootloader.

The hard way
I cannot get my device rooted, thats tge sad part. Cant replace kinguser with superSU, cant use twrp (probably wrong name, its that custom flashing soft) and kinguser does not see my device as rooted. Its somewhat tricky to unlock bootloader in my device, mamy users tells that unlocking OEM in dev settings does not unlock it to fully root the device. Can i somewhat force the root of my device by any soft? What im thinking is making my phone system soft somehow replaced by a custom ROM but i dont know how to replace it and with what if i dont have a rooted device. Now when i tried rooting it manually, using adb and making busybox, su and superSU apps set to some privilages the device shows as 'offline' and i cant get to its shell anymore. Im going to search for any roms my device would work with and ill try to install it using some recovery soft.
I need to root my Galaxy Alpha to edit just one system file, and then unroot it so I can still use apps that don't work on rooted phones. It seems like rooting is not a problem, however I couldn't find any information on the internet on how to unroot a phone that has CF-Auto-Root applied. Can it be done?
Or alternatively, is there a way to gain root access only on adb so I can edit the file this way? Temporary custom recovery maybe?
By the way, tripping the knox flag, losing warranty etc. is absolutely fine by me.
Hello,
What is the easiest way to root a Samsung galaxy S9+ (model) with an apk or a computer?
I've found some one click autoroot but apparently it's not safe to use it? (like king root, kingoroot, cfautoroot)
Also is it possible to root the phone without having any additional icon of the root app (like supersu icon after rooting).
Also can I root without loosing any data?
Thank you for your help
There are lots of guides on this forum which will show you how to root. Different guides use different methods or programs. Read them and pick the one which you feel most confident performing.
Rooting is inherently unsafe. You always risk bricking your phone. You can follow the instructions to a tee but if a download has so much as one bit incorrect, expect problems. Whether you can recover from it depends on what part of the process is corrupted.
Virtually every rooting method results in data loss these days. Sorry.
