This root method is easy as slicing through better took me different root methods to try to root this phone and finally i figure it out and hopefully somebody will come out with cwm and stock rom.
notes to root:
1.Download framaroot and Install it
2.Open up the framaroot
3.Dont touch it where it says install superuser
4.on the bottom you need to select either Aragorn or Gandalf once its selected your phone will freeze what you do is restart phone by the way power button still works.(the freeze part is on the app only)
5.Finally you rooted and enjoy

have you managed to find any custom roms to use or have been able to get anything of that nature to work yet? i followed your root method for my phone and it worked like a charm but there are no custom recovery scripts in cwm or twmp so i cannot add any custom roms since i cant even read my phone on my computer for some reason. feel free to pm with any help please.

Hey. I can download framaroot, but when i try to install it tells me there was a parsing error. What does this mean and how do i fix?
I just bought the Zte Warp n9510. I went right to framaroot and rooted it.. Works like a charm like always. Used framaroot for plenty of phones. about a few hours after my phone started freaking out and freezeing. Screen started glitching, and freezing. I havent installed anything else after rooting besides Root checker. When i press the power button to turn the screen on after being in idle i just get a illuminated black screen. When i restart it with holding down the power button it just shows a black screen, no andriod, no zte logo no boost logo. sometimes it takes me 10 restartes just to be able to see my screen.
I have did a factory reset twice from the settings menu and reset from the Volume+power button menu. Any idea what could of happened?
U probably did something wrong to it

Well Ive been trying to root my galaxy 10.1 and no matter what method I try, I load odin and try to install cwm it always fails. I have all the latest drivers. But my model number is differetn from every rooting guide I can find.......I have the 10.1 running 4.1.2 and model # sch-i925. Anyone know of a method to root this model or know why odin keeps failing on me?
I think the Problem is with CWM. The device is very, very new and because it has LTE the Hardware will definitely be different from other modells. I think I've read the device number somehow in the context with TWRP. You might want to check the TWRP Thread if TWRP is compatible.
If you just want root, Try the framaroot app. Worked on my n8020 lte

Actually the Framaroot did work to give me root, but it acts strangely. It doesnt stick when I reboot and have to re-run the framaroot almost everytime I reboot, but at least I get some root access, to over-clocking apps and titanium back-up and a also my sdcard speed reader apps, but like I said, it doesnt stick and for a temp solution it works. Hoping someone is working on a perm root method for the sch-i925 witha working recovery, thats where Im really stuck now since no one has developed a working recovery for the sch-i925, tried all sorts of the cwm updates and also tried twrp. No recovery method will give me an option to install zip files from sdcard. I also cant load the new radio and/or flash any new splash screens. So any devs out there that want to work on this, Id gladly donate heftily to get some dev support for this new model.
Root
I tried Framaroot on my galaxy note 10.1 4.12 with MK1 build
i told it to install superSU when done
i clicked on sam got error of try another exploit error 9
i clicked on Frodo got error of same
i clicked on Aragom and it took a while and then came back like it worked
i clicked on superSU and got an error of There is no SU Binar installed, and SupierSU canot install it this is a problem
and if i try to unroot using the same method it gives me the same errors but it will not remove SuperSU
Any ideas???
Is anyone working on a root for the sch-i925 anymore? It's a great tablet, but it needs to be rooted. Is there anyone out there?

i just flashed TWRP recovery thru Odin 3.09 then it detects that im not rooted and it rooted it few clicks
1.) download Odin 3.09 and TWRP(recovery.tar) - all attached
2.) put tablet on Download Mode (Power Button+Volume Down+Home Button)
3.) flash the recovery.tar thru Odin 3.09 use PDA/AP button on Odin
4a.) put tablet on Recovery Mode, this time it would be modified recovery TWRP (Power Button+Volume Up+Home Button)
4b.) Do NOT boot to android
5.) reboot device to TWRP directly from download mode. TWRP will detect that tablet is not rooted and ask if you want to intalls root. Slide to Install
6.) find SuperSU installer, follow instruction to install.

I was having the same issue with vroot 1.7.7 auto updating I went as far as to do a system restore on my of to delete vroot and unplugged
the modem. Huge thanks for this guide shinyside.
I con.quer
Despite kind of clumsily clicking through, I managed to get her rooted/Verified with root checker from the Play store/Installed Titanuim Backup pro and froze a ton of useless apps - Runs fine and kind of nice to be able to freeze things. I did disconnect the wifi connection from my pc before I did the install of VRoot and I never had an issue FYI.
it failed. I tried several times. Can you guys help?
when connecting the tab it takes 10 minutes to establish the usb connection. after clicking the root button it takes another 10 minutes. meanwhile the chinese app shows a green field the a blue field and so on.
can you guys confirm that behaviour? thanks.

root issue
So I accidently updated and ran 1.78 file as opposed disconnecting my Internet and run 1.7.7. It was successful but i am getting su not found when running from android emulator terminal. Am I screwed to fix this? I did factory default tablet not it doesn't update 1.7.7 anymore..I could not understand the Chinese wording but clicking on green button it doesn't update like I saw finished when I did it on 1.7.8 version. When I rebooted, i checked root checker of course it's not rooted. Can anybody assist me?
I ran this root, which went well...random question, will the root hold if I do the system updates? I know some do, some don't. Figured I should ask before updating at all. If it won't hold, do we have a source for the updates?
so i have vroot 1.7.7 but still get the bluescreeen with a x meaning its not successful what am i doing wrong?

I kept, having the same problem, it's because of the August update.
You need to revert to the previous update. You can go to sammobile dot com and get the previous firmware for your tablet. Get the latest firmware that does not have Kies. Instructions for how to install it onto your tablet are on sammobile. You'll use Odin 3.09, and once you've flashed the previous frimware, turn off any wifi connection on your tablet so that it doesn't re-update. Then root using the method in this forum and you should be good.
Hey guys! im Cole. Im new around here .
Anyways I managed to fix my phone from a soft brick using the 5.0 OTA Update and decided to root the phone.
Also This Didn't trip Knox for me. Im on 5.0.1
NOTE: I am not responsible if you happen to brick/Break your ATT GALAXY S4 (I337)I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WORKS ON THE I337M
Anyways on with the rooting tutorial:
Ok, On your S4 I recommend that you have the OTA Package which you can get from Here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934552137
And You should have at least 50% battery life left.
Ok. Go and download Kingroot V4.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
Install it. It should say that root access is unavailable. Click on Try to root.
It takes around 3 to 5 minutes to get root access. once done you should see at the top Root Successful or something like that.
If it fails I suggest that you either try again or just give up on rooting your phone.
But since ATT Has a LOCKED Bootloader we cant install a recovery i think. Anyways I hope you guys found this tutorial working and have fun rooting.
Oh yeah I forgot: Thank You Kingxteam for providing us with kingroot

I'm using my phone so I just looked up photo uploader.
I can't upload images yet since I'm new but this does work as long as it's the newer kingroot I had to reflash the 5.0update last night because I installed a recovery and as all ways it fails due the locked bootloader so I tried to root again and it works fine.

If you don't like the kingroot su binary, check out super sume in the play store. It replaces kinguser with supersu. Costs $1. Well worth it imo.

Cool story.
But, this is so simple. Instead of having to flash this and that with flashfire and safestrap, you can just go straight from lollipop, use a one click root tool, and then use another one click app to switch to SuperSU and remove the other. It's simplicity, compared to keep root method, is great. Now, if we could just get someone to figure out how to do it with one step, we'll be golden. Many are thinking there is still no way to root straight from lollipop. This works. So, if these cats can do it, then another dev can figure out how to get SuperSU injected instead of Kingroot. If that can happen, then safestrap can also be updated to work with lollipop instead of having to swap kk kernel. This is progress.
edit: When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I tried several times to update to 0C4 after using this method. It failed every time. Then, I flashed the rooted 0C3 with flashfire and the update worked flawlessly. I wouldn't suggest this kingroot anymore to anyone. Cheers.

Just used KingRoot to root my I337 with OC4. Took a few minutes and then took off with a percentage rapidly climbing to 100%. Unfortunately for those of us who cannot read Chinese you have to feel your way through the user interface.
Here are some notes to help (I should have grabbed screen shots and will try to do so):
Make sure your PC has the I337 drivers and they work.
Enable developer mode on the I337.
Download and install the desktop version of KingRoot.
Connect the I337 to the PC with USB. Let Windows do its handshake stuff.
Launch KingRoot, it will find the phone and give you a screen (all in Chinese) showing how to turn on USB Debug mode. For English that is in Settings | More | Developer Options. Check the USB debugging box.
Phone will ask to verify the computer RSA key, accept it.
Phone also asked twice to allow Google to check for security threats. I declined both.
KingRoot will see that it can talk with the phone and do its thing.
A few minutes later I had KingRoot and root access on my 5.0.1 OC4 phone as verified with Root Checker Basic. It has survived a power cycle with battery removal.
Added screen shots from phone. Need to get some from KingRoot.
When KingRoot has everything ready you will see some Chinese text followed by Root on a blue (IIRC) button. Click that to launch the rooting.
I'm on lolipop 5.0.1 and I actually flashed a stock rom, and I can't get this thing rooted. I've tried multiple one click methods and the manual method, and nothing works. The command line one click way goes through and says complete, but doesn't install superSU or root the phone (downloaded superSU from the app store and it said no binary) and the GUI one hangs at 90%. King root doesn't work. I'm completely out of ideas, please send help.
Here is a video on how to root LG G3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KijSEtdIOJs
I've tried every video I can find following exactly what they say, and it doesn't work

i just downloaded kingoroot and plugged my phone in (the pc version) my phone is ZTE Zmax 2 Z955L from straight talk i think i just got it rooted BECAUSE
Kingo root says "root succeeded", and on my phone, a thing popped up asking to give root access to "super user"
however, the root check apps return it as not rooted. i dont know what this means and i am up for sharing screen shots.
Also most, if not all apps tat require root, will not work (at least for my case) because eventhough it asks for root permission, it will say that its been denied.
Please give me your thoughts about this

okay so i trie getting SuperSU from chainfire, asked for the binarys, so i hit install. but it wouldnt do anything but sit there at the installing window so i rebooted my phone and root was gone. in the kingo super user app, all the root access items that i allowed were still listed but it said there was no binary.
i tried rooting again with kingoroot and it said it failed.. not sure what to make of this
but do please give me your input
Kingo PC is working now. But your need to uninstall kingo superuser app in order to get root. or you need to go into kingo superuser app to Deny and Allow a few time for it to work. it's only a temp root. we need TWRP now!

You could try factory resetting the device... I haven't tried that but just a thought.
I'm hoping this might be the first step to getting root on Zmax 2!!! (I also hope I helped a bit)
King root via PC worked fine for me. I have debloated so far with success. I'm check for a super user dependant test, like hot-spot for super users and we'll get back at ya!

Wow, can you double check to make sure you actually rooted the phone, Hemanolio? If the Zmax 2 is truly rooted (and not just temporary) then a lot of people out there are going to be really happy! :laugh::laugh:
I just bought one myself from best buy. just waiting for it to get delivered in the next few days.
The Kingo App (kingoapp.com) worked as a temporary root. Kingroot didn't work for me but I didn't have the drivers installed when I attempted to use it first. This worked for me on two Zmax2 phones and allowed me to remove all bloatware. Both my devices are firmware B12 (ATT GO Phone requires ATT sim to update). Works like a charm but seems to be temporary.
AFAIK ZTE sells an unlocked version of this phone that isn't carrier branded so eventually it might be possible to get more reliable updates that way or perhaps a clean stock rom with just ZTE bloat. I don't have much hope on all that though.
What are you using to remove bloatware? KingoRoot successfully rooted my phone and the Root Checker is reported that it's all good, but every app that I use to remove the apps is failing. I can't manually do it either, I get errors.

You can use the Kingroot app itself to remove things you don't want namely the ATT software all of it plus all the Google apps minus the play store.
Not really
Kingo does not really work. All I succeeded in doing was changing my search engine in firefox. I'm sure it's great for all the other phones, but this one does not work.
EDIT: Should mention mine is Z958
Using Kingo root and all it tells me is unknown network error.

Wow, can you double check to make sure you actually rooted the phone, Hemanolio? If the Zmax 2 is truly rooted (and not just temporary) then a lot of people out there are going to be really happy! :laugh::laugh:
I just bought one myself from best buy. just waiting for it to get delivered in the next few days.

So, apparently it was temp rooted by kingo, but was able to install king root (which failed to root), but every so often king root pops up with a root error warning...I press the back button and it takes me to the full king root app with all the options, including debloating, and now Wifi Access Point app works. Tethering was my main desire, so I'm satisfied. Again, I temp rooted with kingo and then installed kingroot
zmax 2 does have perma root
mine is currently rooted (fully & permanently) just had to disable system read/write protection with this method: androidforums(dot)com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/
afterwards i ran kingo root pc, then ran the droid version* then used supersume. voila persistant root working on z955a zmax 2
does this help anyone? hope so
ran both pc and droid version because pc version was not detected by supersume. droid version was. using droid version only might be quicker and still work. not sure

Does that work for the Z955l from straight talk? Also how do I run adb commands?

Yep. Makes sense because the Z955A is the unlocked version.
For folks who have the Z958, the story isn't as easy. But the info should help the Z955A users.

I'd bet the Z955L is locked in the same manner as the Z958.
I may attempt to root my Z958 but not until I get my new phone (the Z958 is a backup since my Nexus was destroyed).
Any update on the z958 status?
Thanks

What particular version of kingo root did you guys use to get temp root?
I have not had any luck yet, a link would be helpful, thanks!

Kingo PC is working now. But your need to uninstall kingo superuser app in order to get root. or you need to go into kingo superuser app to Deny and Allow a few time for it to work. it's only a temp root. we need TWRP now!

I have a ZTE ZTEX2 model Z955A, by mistake, I installed a customized recovery of another model and now I can not access the recovery mode, the black screen remains and I have to restart so that the cell phone can restart, can you help me to restore the original recovery?
