[Q] Kyocera Milano, unable to root after OTA

I initially bricked my phone when I took an OTA update by accident while the phone was rooted. When I got the new phone I decided to let it update first and then try to root it but now the Gingerbreak/ZergRush method doesn't seem to work. It never reports that it failed but doesn't say success either, just the "Blue Hellions" thing. The script fails at the "adb remount" saying that the operation isn't permitted.
I've tried a few other methods but have had zero luck with them but most of them used ZR so I didn't expect a lot.
Since they don't seem to have a recovery image for this phone, there's not a lot I can do.
I'll take any ideas and upload logcat, etc.to help out (if I can...it seems to be about 100k which was double the allowed size for the last forum I asked this on)
Any and all help appreciated.

I just got my phone from Ting a couple weeks ago and rooted it yesterday.
Unfortunately I can't directly post Outside links (Not at 10 posts yet, and have no idea what else to post about other than this at the moment, which requires a link (For Credit Due Purposes) and I know it will be helpful to people that were as desperate as me for something that was starting to seem rather impossible and no one was paying that much attention to it.), but this is important enough that I'll try to just chop it up - You'll just have to put it back together to go to that site.
This works:
androidforums
.com/milano-all-things
-root/709963-no
-pc-root-method
.html
Not sure why the guide says "Enable usb debugging in Settings, Applications, Development" since you never use the PC, I enabled it anyway, and also enabled to install third party apps, or else Poot won't install, not sure why that isn't on the guide. (Maybe they got mixed up?)
A few things you might want to know:
After hours I finally found the solution. But the terminal still doesn't work for uninstalling ("pm uninstall com.google.android.books.apk" = Failure), you have to do everything though your phone (I'm using the app "RootAppDelete"). The phone roots itself with a third party app called "Poot" using libraries from "Ministro 2"
Before doing this you're gonna need something like 25MBs of storage or so (Can delete everything afterwards with the exception of SuperUser (Can't delete that) to get the space back (Also, you need a app to actually use root actions). - The "Ministro 2" packages are huge for this phone's tiny internal storage! 11MB around)
Make sure to install anything small first and anything big right before the phone gets over 15MB full, because at that time you can't install anything else, with low memory errors.
Another thing that might have helped me when I did this is - back when I couldn't root I made all apps default install to the phone with the android sdk platform-tools (I didn't want to risk anything so I moved Poot, Ministro 2 and SuperUser back to the phone before running Poot. since they default installed to the SD)
"adb shell"
"pm SetInstallLocation 2"
Know its been said elsewhere, but this works with the Milano. Wanted to say that in case you needed the space to use Poot.
And the last problem is after I did all this, now my headphone jack wants to think it has headphones plugged in all the time, If I move the phone around it starts playing on the phone's speaker. It seems like something is lose. Not sure if that was caused by the root (since it wasn't doing it before, and I've never used the headphone jack before) or because there was lose hardware, not sure. Still working on a solution to that, which I found
something similar here, almost looks like a common problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817872
I would put my proof of doing this have a screen shot of root checker, but alas its an outside link. Understand though.
And as I've read a million times before this, here's a disclaimer: I'm not responsible and use at your own risk.

[Q] Verizon Samsung S4 i545 version 4.3 Kingo root

Here it goes, I have a Verizon Samsung S4 i545 that received the 4.3 update shortly after I got it, like less than a week. I have followed droidmoddderx for some time now and was able to root my galaxy nexus thru wugfresh and his tutorials. So I go to his you tube page and find a video titled " root anything android" or something close to that. It is a simple process and it is called Kingo root. I followed the instructions and viola I get root access, I get SuperSU , root checker basic and it says I have root access. I get Titanium backup pro, terminal emulator, ROM Manager and more root apps. So, I go to settings find the appropriate box to check for WiFi tether and...it pops up a window stating that it has looked for subscription and I need to contact my provider, which is obviously out of the question since free wifi with my unlimited data is one of my biggest root uses. So I get on here search a few threads leave messages with you guys, some with droidmodderx and I get some suggestions to download a wifi toggle cause it works on theirs.I follow the suggestion and I explain I still have no hot spot . One of the toggles when activated will show a pop up in the upper message bar stating hotspot, but it drops back down and I have no hot spot, I left out that I tried the press the home key as soon as it says its searching for subscription and it has zero affect. I'm at a loss at this point and nothing I've read provides much in the way of confidence that anyone knows what they are talking about when it comes to this problem. I'm guessing the phone is too new and developers just haven't got to it yet, at least that's what I'm hoping. But I'm still willing to listen to and try other suggestions.
Thanks,

[HELP] Can't root generic tablet

Hi All.
I was trying to use some apps to emulate touchscreen in order to play with my gamepad. The problem is that My tablet (A generic one... Known here In Argentina as NOGAPAD 7 "White edition") seemed to not have root access. So, I decide to give it a go on SuperOneClick (So far I've tried with my LG Optimus ME Succesfully, so I was pretty confident about It).
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that SOC said my tablet was already rooted, and aked me to re-root . "Well, might just try and see if it works" I said. The proccess was completed, but when I checked the proccess notifications, It was two fails regarding the install Of SuperUser. It was something like SOC couldn't write data, or something (Sorry for the missinformation, I forgot to capture a shot of this in the moment)
Rebooted my tablet, I tried some "root-requuired" apps. Didn't work. I was pretty upset about then. I searced a little bit deeper, and stumble across this app called "UnlockRoot".
"Excellent, let's try". Guess what, The same "already rooted" thing again. I surpased this and tried to "re-root". This time the device rebooted itself, and SuperSU was installed, so I figured out that this time it had worked. Wrong. Allthe apps didn't get the root access they where looking for.
My specs are:
• Proccessor: A20 Dual Core (1.2 Ghz)
• RAM: 1 GB
• OS: Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2
I'ts something wrong with what I'm doing? Or the tablet? Please let me know, and if you need some caps I can manage to get some. Thanks for reading.
Looking forward to your response

[Completed] Help rooting Emerson EM756

I'm going on a well educated guess that the EM756 is a very unpopular tablet, but I have a hard time believing that it's so unpopular that NO ONE has attempted rooting it.
Going on that hope (what little is left), let me explain why I'm having such a hard time.
I updated the tablet to the latest Android version. Somehow in doing so, it deleted all my accounts. I am unable to add a new one at all as I get the error "Unable to establish reliable connection". Rebooting my router and the device didn't work, nor did switching to another network. I have tried various workarounds and trick to work past it, but without having a google account to sign in with, the tablet is pretty useless as an account is needed to access things like the play store.
I finally read somewhere that there is a line of code I need to delete to get past the error or something to that effect, but to do it I need to root the tablet.
Every "One Click" tool I have used has failed (I've tried about 9 so far I think). The closest I got was using this guide on the forums here. My issue with that one is the programs provided don't see my device even after switching from MTP to PTP (At which point my computer doesn't recognize the device anyway)
I have spent a combined time of 16 hours trying to do this to no avail.... Any help would be nice by this point.

Bump.

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
I believe kingroot works on the EM756 > Android Development and Hacking > Android Apps and Games > [ROOT ANDROID][2.x-5.1] KINGROOT: The One-Click Root Tool for Almost All Devices . I noticed another user in that thread got it to work.
Good luck

Need help to revive an old, but functional PB G100W

I got this tablet (Packard Bell G100w) from a friend who moved to a newer one.
I did the error to reset it to factory settings.
Now I have a perfectly functional tablet I cannot update in any way.
Problem is it constantly tries to connect to GoogleTalk (which does not exist anymore and I don't know how to uninstall) and it seems unable to contact a working PlayStore server (probably because servers/protocols changed in the meantime; this means I cannot install new apps).
I understand this tablet has the same hardware as Asus A500, so I saw advice to use A500 to reflash my device. Before I do some other stupid mistake I would like serious advice.
What I want to do is to be able to use this tablet for casual use (mainly to access the Internet and run navigation/mapping apps) nothing fancy.
Can someone point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in Advance
Zio
