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 know that not many people may be able to help as this is a long story but here it goes:
I had used a root toolkit (I know that I will receive hate) to root my kyocera rise as rooting by hand has become a pain. Anyways, I had run into an issues where my phone would not run properly (possibly due to malware or the likes) and as such I reset it back to factory data. For months after I had assumed that I did not have root anymore because I had lost the supersu app (stupid me forgot to check root). Recently I realized that in one of my apps that could use root, it was using root and I did not even know it.
Seeing that this would cause some security issues, I quickly installed super su and updated the binaries. From then on, whenever an app tried to request root permission, it would then freeze. I then uninstalled super su and did the unroot setting from software and then planned to reinstall it. When I reinstalled supersu, It complained that it could not install binaries and this was bad (lol).
Anyways, the kyocera rise has a locked bootloader that prevents me from completely flashing over a new copy of the os, which sucks, and now I feel like I am stuck with an unrootable device because I can't seem to reinstall the binaries to allow super su or any other superuser program to work properly. Any Help would be appreciated. FYI, this is just stock android, nothing fancy about it.

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.
Ok dudes just i share this thread, cuz i like to help other dudes that they are juniors or they're beginning .
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 know this model is new, but how do we start a section for this model? It's a great phone with plenty under the hood. It seems to have an unlock oem bootloader option in the developer options. How can I root this phone, but more importantly, are there any custom ROMs which will work with it? Can there be some ported over? Any assistance appreciated.
This is the ZTE Warp 7 N9519 for Boost Mobile

I have this phone it seems unrootable. Help?
I know i have tge same device....someone getthis phone and help us...im stuck in the same spot.
I'm on the same page. Spent a few hours on trying to find a working root method but no success. However, King root, specifically version 4.1.0.703, worked for a bit then after close to 30 minutes, the phone restarted itself and was unrooted. I decided not to try it again especially since I just got this phone yesterday.
I have this phone too... Been all over the forums, all over xda university, and im still lost... If someone could give me a little direction, custom recovery or root access... Do i have to build from source? That seems a little above my pay-grade
so has anyone found a solution for rooting?
i looked at XDA a while back when i first got the phone but nothing.
ive been doing reaserch and placing my findings in a different androidforums.(website)
since i didnt see any options to post on here.
anyone wanna help us with info?
KingRoot works after a couple of tries, root access verified, but phone will reboot anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes and root access is denied upon phone start. Haven't tried anything fancy in the little time I've had root access, then again I am not sure this phone is even compatible with custom recovery nor does it have any development of custom roms.. Wondering why the phone reboots and removed root, set SELinux to permissive to no avail, maybe there's a security package or two that could be disabled/blocked to prevent the phone from removing root access?
Really good phone for the money and the specs lend well to a debloated/custom ROM.. Not giving up on these lesser loved phones, finally got my S550TL rooted thanks to the helpful members here don't want to stop now lol.

Have you tried installing the su file with SuperSu before the device rebooted. Because when I had root for less than 10 minutes I checked to see if there was a su file installed and there wasn't any. Is like if KingRoot was simulating root access and didn't install the su file.

You should try installing the su file with SuperSu because KingRoot doesn't really install the su file and when the device reboots it removes all root access that KingRoot was simulating. I recommend getting root access with KingRoot then installing the su file with SuperSu and see if it works.
Has any one tried adding SuperSu after temp KingRoot? Or tried adding SuperSU and replacing KingRoot with Super-Sume Pro app?
Just tried Rooting with KingRoot thru APK and didn't even temp root

If KingRoot is not temp rooting your device just go to recovery and clear cache then it should work. Also I wanted to update the su file with SuperSU when I had temp root but I fear it might brick or something. I found out the su was located at sbin.
Are we getting anywhere on this? I really like this phone but i need to de-bloat

Not really, I just need someone to update the su binary with SuperSU once temp rooted with KingRoot to see if after that the root doesn't remove after reboot. Or maybe moving the Su file to xbin or bin since it is at sbin.
Tried to install binary through Chainfire SuperSU app and got the "binary update failed" message.
Weird how KingRoot simulates root access without installing any SU binaries, I was able to disable a few packages and verify root access through other apps until the phone restarted.
Can you flash an SU binary through flashify or similar app without restarting to bootloader/recovery (where root access is once again revoked)?
hmmm....thinking of using this as my next phone can anyone give info on a working Fastboot Mode? if there is then we can maybe do the same method of flashing a custom TWRP recovery in order to flash SuperSU
Really like this phone, just got it yesterday. I tried the temp root with kingroot and then after 5 or 10 minutes it rebooted. I'm a bit hesitant to download Flashify and try flashing as I do not know what will happen. But its a good start we have an entry point to work with :silly:

Actually it does install a su binary because when I go to sbin I see a su file there
I was able to confirm root after rooting with kingroot and i tried replacing it with SU but it fails and reboots. I'm very new to ZTE as this is my first phone. I wouldn't think obtaining permanent root would be super difficult since we are able to get some sort of root with king. I am no code expert either so I remain in the dark...

So I noticed something very helpful that will totally or maybe allow us to have permanent root. When I rooted with KingRoot I went to Superuser and it said that su binary can't be updated because of its location /sbin/su, so that shows that the su file needs to be at /xbin or /bin. We can try moving the su file to /xbin or /bin once we have temp root to see if it becomes permanent.

The average is about 5 minutes that it allows you to have root, sometimes it let's you even more but it reboots.
I have an HD6 that's on 5.3.1 that was successfully rooted. I've always used Kingroot to handle root access without issue, but going on the recommendation of the thread I followed to root (and many suggestions I've seen on here) I replaced Kingroot with SuperSu. All was well for a few weeks, but I started noticing instability in some apps that I use all the time. I never had such problems with Kingroot, so via process of elimination I figured SuperSu must somehow be to blame. Under settings I chose the "tidy up" option for if you want to uninstall SuperSu and replace it with another root control app, so I chose it. I DID NOT choose the full unroot / uninstall option although that's what seems to have happened. The steps were simple enough. SuperS would uninstall and close out. I then rebooted to finish the process and installed Kingroot. That should have been the end of it, but Kingroot informs me that I'm not rooted. There is no direct root for this tablet on this is version afaik, and the process to root is long and I don't care to repeat it. I don't need root that bad. I'm mainly curious since this should not have happened. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and is my root completely gone or just hiding?
Just need to boot into TWRP and flash SuperSu.zip, boot to OS, authorize SU to Kingroot, then unistall SuperSU. It should work fine
