So I updated my Kyocera Echo (pauses for jokes) to android 2.3.4, I know there's not any development at all going on for the phone but all I want is root access. I've tried everything I could find, rage, visionary, superoneclick, etc.
I know 2.3.4 was patched against the rage root exploit, so I was hopeing to find another way since we also don't have a custom recovery, but I've had no luck.
Does anyone know a way to get this rooted? Your help is much appreciated.

Try gingerbreak? Though 2.3.4 is new enough that it's probably patched too.
Sounds like you might be in the same boat as EVO 4G users if your bootloader is locked down.

Gingerbreak is a no go, it was patched unfortunately. I'm not sure but I don't think the bootloader is locked, just don't have any recovery to try flashing.
If the bootloader is locked, we can't tell. adb reboot bootloader boots into fastboot and only shows the Kyocera logo.
Unless there is a way to get rooted from fastboot or someone else comes up with a custom recovery, root probably won't happen until there is a new exploit found.
I'm making no progress in porting a recovery and getting no answers from any devs who actually know how. :/

Haha, hey Jamin. So no luck with the recovery so far huh?
That's one of the reasons I posted here, I've come to the conclusion that we probably need help from a real dev if we're gonna get anywhere with this soon. But with no current exploits I won't be surprised if we don't get anywhere for a while
Lol yeah, no luck with the recovery. I can't figure out why it won't work still.
I doubt the devs even consider it. You are probably right with what you said about first generation of a phone.

PLs, I hope we get some help from some dev team to make some custom roms / root the phones.
I know a fair amount of people who have an Echo and are seemingly happy with the same.

Can any one come up with a recovery for the HTC wildfire bee cdma NOT the HTC wildfire buzz gsm. I have rooted the bee but can't find a recovery for it. I was told that we need a kernel source. I have tried other recoverys alot with no luck. I have rom manger and there are different recoverys and went through alot of them even the alternative recoverys. This phone is on alltel and is going to be released January 28th for version.

Bump. Been looking for a way to get my phone fully rooted and start throwing roms on it.
Have you guys gotten past the nandlock? You may have temporary root, but you probably will not have a permanant root (as the nandlock needs to be removed first).
If you have, I can try to get CWM to compile. I don't think we need a kernel, it uses a dumbed down version of the base kernel, with binary drivers.

Not sure I did get it rooted but can't find a recovery for it and I'm afraid to do any thing without being able to make a backup. This is on the bee wildfire cdma not the buzz wildfire GSM.
I have tryed to get xda to start a thread for the bee it comes out for version 1/28/11 came out for alltel oct29. Alot of people think they have the buzz to find out they have the bee like I did after I got it rooted. I used unrevoked root for the buzz it worked for the bee.
I have tryed all kinds of recoverys with no luck.

The problem for recoveries are that they are device-specific. Say you have a recovery for the hero-cdma. You try and flash that to your bee/wildfire-cdma. The recovery fails to boot because A) wrong kernel and B) wrong device drivers.
Compiling a clockwork mod recovery for a new phone is fairly trivial. But if the phone is nandlocked, you have to bypass that nandlock beforehand. I can probably do it, but I'd need a dump of the phones hboot (to dissassemble and reverse-engineer
I'm fairly certain the phone is nandlocked (if you can, grab z4root and use the temp root exploit, remount /system rw, and do 'mkdir /system/test', it should fail. if it succeeds, your device isn't nandlocked). I have a bee, just have not had a chance to get adb running to test this.

Can I use terminal and do
su enter
remount/system rw. enter
mkdir/system/test. enter
Would this work. I used the buzz root method and tried to update the bee with the buzz ruu 2.2 update. When it got done it had an error and I unplugged the phone from the PC with out stopping or ending any thing and the new market stuck. So the phone has the new market now.

when did you get the 2.2 update the twe htc bee phones we have are still 2.1 we are on alltel. and where did you find clockwork recovery for the bee at if you dont mind me asking.
theres a kernal on the htc developer page thats supposed to work with it but i have alltel on it to and there was a thread somewhere online that a guy used clockwork mod flashed for the htc aira and he said he was able to change the rom but i cant even find a rom for the bee anywhere let alone a 2.2 update for alltel for that matter so im like really lost on this phone

i have not tried to get it soff. was hopping to find a recovery to make a backup in case any thing goes wrong. but i will be able to do more with them at the end of the month. if not sooner.
I guess the next step would be to contact clockwork and see what they can do.
It would be nice if unrevoked would do it I did my uncle's desire and it worked great. and I miss carebears.

Model number: Lg-e739
android version: 2.3.4
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf
build number: Grj22
software version: V10k-oct-11-2011
any help will earn my thanks :d oh an i am also able to help with directing anyone who need the perm root if asked!! An please no negativity i know how some of the htc guys feel about the phone lol!!
an please press the thanks button if this helps you or contains information you need too so the thread can be moved up
Wouldn't we need to unlock the bootloader first in order to install CWM? Even then, wouldn't we also need a custom version of it made for this phone? Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't we have to do this first before any modding can get done?

i don't know to much about boot loaders but i was able to root my phone without unlocking the boot loader. But if i do need it unlocked, i would need to be ran through how to do it for my phone. An i suppose a custom CWM would have to be made unless another version would be compatible with it
From what I am reading about installing CWM on other phones, an unlocked bootloader would be needed. You don't necessarily need the bootloader to be unlocked to root this phone since we are using SuperOneClick. We also need a custom CWM unless another version is compatible that is correct. There is currently no known ways of unlocking the bootloader for this phone.

Yes that would be correct. But it would be great if this phone's boot loader was similar to another phone's boot loader so that i can test the settings to see if the commands would work. Then no really hard work would have to be done i guess But I also just opened up this topic so if someone is working on a solutionn soon us lg mytouch users can be notified of its coming arrival.

so i've read so many forums, done everything i can, every method, but to no avail; im still not able to root my htc raider. the most recent forum i came across, which supposedly the simplest and easiest method to root my phone, is this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 " i thought the video was supposedly a step by step tutorial, but not as much as i expected it to be. because of my previous attempt before using this toolkit, i was only able to unlock the bootloader, so i skiped the part were u have to do it. i went straight to flashing the cwm and was successful. with that, i was able to use backup/restore. then i went to permroot and all i got from the command promt was adb stuff out of date. i thought maybe i have to flash my kernel so i did. but then i got stock on the htc logo. can anyone plz help me

I rooted my stylo last month and shortly after I flashed a twrp recovery in which I thought it was for my ls770. Well after I did that I got that error 1003 thing when I try to boot into recovery. So I now can't boot into recovery So I found a factory recovery file and flashed it also and I still can't boot into recovery. Can someone help please and thanks..
What version of Android? I did the same thing and luckily I had backed up a recovery with Flashify. I can see if I still have the backup. The recovery was for 5.1.1 ZV5
The one I found I think was for 5.0 but I'm on 5.1.1. That would be great @mabry

Do you have the stock recovery or what cause I need it asap
My bad bro. When I updated to Marshmallow I formatted my external SD in hope of the new storage feature. I lost it. I am sure 6th Hokage, or Dominick might have one laying around. They the main devs on the Boost Stylo.

Anybody get any news on this?
The TWRP that is available out there right now with all the tutorials isnt for our devices (LS770). Theres not much going on with our devices because of the locked bootloader that lg seems to know nothing about; let alone any support for this devices alongside marshmallow. My goal is to port TWRP to our phones and find a backdoor in but im caught up in a bunch of different projects right now and juggling it with work. Plus ive gotta learn how to build these things. If anybody could tell me anything about our phone that i cant figure out thatd be wonderful. Ill try to get the recovery image posted on my drive when i go on my computer next.
Lg lls770
So I've read even just using King root it will lock up your phone, i had done that with my other lg ls770 and tried installing the twrp recovery. Any ideas if i will run into the same problem just using King root? And how would i go about making a back up of my stock recovery?
The ls770 has a locked bootloader. You can't just put any twrp recovery on it. You may be able to use kingroot temp, but I bricked twice using it, and can't offer any advice. If you have read enough of the ls770 brick stories including mine, you'll see there is no real pattern to bricking with kingroot. I successfully used it and restarted and re temp rooted for days, changing build.prop uninstalling google apps, then WHAM, brick out of thin air. Some were bricking straight away after kingroot with only restarting. If you do use kingroot to temp root I hope you'll report back and tell us how it is going, Thanks
So any idea if checking the oem unlock box in developer options and then going to fastboot/download mode would unlock the bootloader? I'm not very advanced with tinkering with android but i can go about the basics i guess

The oem unlock will not unlock the bootloader.The bootloader is locked by Boost/sprint/virgin. It's probably not going to be unlocked. The only LG's I know that have unlocked bootloader are Tmobile/metropcs. I hope kingroot gets this worked out as we know they have no future without being able to root phones. I made a post on the kingroot page here at XDA asking about what they might do now with marshmallow. I haven't heard from the main @Kingxteam but I keep hearing they are working on it

Honest answer is wait for the 6t and see if someone figures it out.
If your device is ever soft bricked but you can still access TWRP - you can sideload OOS using fastboot "adb sideload *rom name.zip*. If sideloading fails, you can "adb push *rom name.zip* /data/media/0".
It's next to impossible to brick the oneplus 6 however.... NEVER EVER relock the bootloader with a custom recovery that's the only way I know of which WILL brick your phone.
Despite what you may have read, this is an easy phone to root and mod, it just works differently from other phones, particularly non-A/B phones. This is what has a lot of people salty and frustrated because they don't want to change from the way they think things "should" work.
I don't know of anyone here who has hard-bricked. There is an unbrick tool that works well.
