yep, ive tried everything. been trying for 2 days now, no sleep.
z4root doesnt work, easyroot doesnt work, manually doing it myself doesnt work...
all i want is superuser access to use rooted apps. thats it... i want to keep my original android version, just with su. dont want to flash any rom or anything. all i want is su, and no method at all has worked so far...
Did you make sure you had the appropriate drivers installed when you were doing easy root? how about usb debugging?
HTC Sense is just not my thing, I don't like it one bit. I need to root so I can flash a ROM onto my phone. I don't need S-OFF because I don't plan on flashing an ICS ROM.
I looked for ways to root but you need a usb cable to proceed with the rooting. Thing is, I don't have one... Is there a way to root without the use of a computer? Perhaps a certain one click root method? My phone is 2.3.4 gingerbread.
Thanks for all the help!

You're definitely going to need a computer. Sorry if that's not the answer you were looking for. Luckily you can find a cable like this one pretty cheap.
Good Luck,

If you already have clockworkmod recovery installed, then you can flash a ROM from your phone without a computer.
If you were S-OFF then you could use one of the custom PG59IMG.zip packages I've made to get clockworkmod recovery onto the device without a computer.
If you are S-ON and stock, then you need a computer to hack your device.
If you can figure out a way of escalating yourself to root level privileges without a computer on a fresh factory device with security enabled, the entire community would love to know about it.

Would z4root work?
Just hook it up to a computer. If you're not using any of the OTA patches use Revolutionary. That takes about 15 minutes tops to do. The hardest part is to flash the Superuser.apk through recovery (that has to be tried about five or six times for it to stick).

Can u give the link to download the PG59IMG file. I have S-OFF but no access to pc. Also please give me the link to the noob tut to flash the file
If you're still on stock GB or recently unbricked and don't have a computer handy, you can download framaroot and you can root your infuse that way without a computer.
Don't try to copy the recovery using this root method. It dosen't seem to work for me.
Just some handy tips for people who have slow internet and/or downloaded the wrong thing and just want to root without a computer
Title pretty much says it all. I've tried countless one click root programs with no progress whatsoever. I've spent hours searching and nothing comes up for this phone. Does anyone know a way to root this thing??

same here, a guy who works for kyocera told me that this model cant be put into recovery mode. Any help appreciated
I'm joining the request. As stated above, I've combed the web for anything on it with no success. Is this because of the fairly new release? Or possibly the trouble they're in because of Microsoft?
Either way I feel there should be an exploit out for it by now...
I too am looking fir an exploit for this device, and have scoured Google, Bing, and Yahoo, only to find nothing.

This model (Hydro Wave C6740N) CAN be put into Recovery Mode, using ADB.
Since Windows (edit: XP) USB drivers for the C6740N Wave are not released by Kyocera (yet), you (edit: can) use a Linux or OS X machine to connect using USB, to use ADB on the C6740N. (Since USB connection to C6740N "just works" on those platforms.)
I have used ADB on a Macbook running OS X to reboot my Hydro Wave into Recovery Mode, and performed cache wipe successfully. Also performed backups using ADB.
Kyocera advised (via email) that the Wave can be put into Recovery using Volume Down + Power key combo. Not true, the key combo does not work.
Kyocera also advised (via chat) that the Windows USB driver for any Hydro family device will work for the Wave. Also not true (I tried it). (Edit: I tried the drivers with Windows XP. It looks like the Kyocera Windows USB drivers may simply be USB modem drivers only, on any case.)
OS X or Linux using ADB is the ticket, no USB driver necessary. (Edit: But see other posts about using Windows 10 too.)
I'm also keenly interested in rooting the C6740N, but an absolute noob. The C6740N has a lot going for it, but a few shortcomings that root would enable resolving. If anyone knows of a way to root it, we would be most grateful to hear about it.
Tried about everything else too and nothing works
There's a working driver in Windows 10, but KingoRoot still fails. I almost tried King Root, but it's all in Chinese. I was going to try Framaroot but gave up when the download link resulted in an endless survey loop to win a free $100 Visa card (yeah....... GO F**K YOURSELF). I really want to root this thing. MetroPCS has this thing loaded full of bloatware and the Google BS I never use (google+ MUST DIE) is just eating storage space and what tiny bit of RAM is left. It's a nice phone but the inability to overclock the CPU, delete bloatware, and turn my 4GB SD Card into RAM really leaves alot to be desired.
The phone can be put into recovery using adb on windows.but that's as far as that goes.Cant find any way to root.Hope we get one soon.
So I think we should make a list of what root methods that did not work. That way we wont get hassled of what does not work
Kingo Root: FAIL
Towelroot: FAIL
Framaroot: UNKNOWN
King Root: UNKNOWN (Can't read Chinese)
Could you use a kill file that would reset all data including disabling some things
Root genius fails
King root fails
Kingoroot fails
Iroot fails
Framaroot fails
Towelroot fails
I'm thinking you gotta unlock the boot loader , but I can't put into fast boot mode or boot onto the boot loader for any adb fastboot commands to work. I can get to recovery in adb , and in the recovery menu I select boot to boot loader but it boots normally. I really want to root this thing!!
I just noticed that they're are any way to root the latest lolipop unless your on 5.0.2 ( BTW I checked kingroot and checked the request of our device and its almost to 1000
Subbing 'cuz I just got it and want it rooted. How do I request it from Kingroot?

If he rooted the phone he sent the reply from, he's unfortunately in the wrong thread. The C6530N is the Hydro Life. We're trying to root the C6740N which is the Hydro Wave. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
On the other hand, if he's using the Hydro Life to post in the forum but has successfully rooted the Hydro Wave, we would all love to know just how you did it. My Hydro Wave is running worse than an Alcatel Evolve on the stock setup. We need root badly.
Speaking of root exploits such as Framaroot, see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...droid_users_creates_hijackable_global_botnet/
Which links to the original exposé:
https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html
...which notes that this Android botnet malware uses Framaroot and other root exploits. I wonder if some of these Chinese root exploit tools themselves (Framaroot, Kingoroot, etc.) carry a hidden malware payload.
....
Hi I've tried everything also but I also tried this program for tablets called zuse toolkit & it seems to get something through cause it reboots & optimizes or upgrade apps I'm not too sure which one but if someone out there knows how to modifie the way this zuse toolkit roots then maybe we have a chance of rooting this new phone oh & after it optimizes or upgrades the apps I check for root permissions and it still says it does not have root permissions so yea...
I'm trying to root my S6 6.0.1 without a PC due to the fact my USB port no longer works for data transfer or fast charging. The port will only slowly charge my phone, sometimes 4-5 hours. I mainly charge wireless.
CF Auto Root is the only method that has my build number listed (G920TUVU5EQC2). But the only instructions I find use a PC and Odin.
I've tried other APK root apps, Kingroot, Kingoroot, Pingpong, and others. They don't support my build so they obviously didn't work, but I tried them anyway.
Is it possible to use a custom recovery like TWRP to load the CF-Auto Root file? But in order to install TWRP I need root.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks
You may be able to implement the cf auto root file as an o.t.a. update. here is some info but research it the hell out of it if you don't previous experience with this type of thing and maybe practice with an app that wouldn't possibly brick your device.

There's no way to root phone without USB connection if you don't have a custom recovery like TWRP.
