I bought this tablet from Sears. It has KitKat on it but I have not been able to root it. I have tried towelroot, kingroot, Rootmaster, Cydia compactor and a few others with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like to root this tablet. Thanks in advance.

I tried Kingo Root and now have factory reset loop.
I started to ask on tableroms for any answer. Nothing. Any help from the XDA community would be wonderful.

I have 3 elite 7q tablets. I rooted one with kingo and have had no problems at all. I tried to root another that my daughter uses the same way but kingo will freeze mid way. I tried many times with different programs and apps until I finally gave up. Maybe try an older version of kingo. I dont remember which version i used as it was about 6 months ago. The new version of kingo declares my rooted 7q as unsupported. Hope this helps and good luck

I just got a Samsung gem and it is currently running 2.1 need help rooting and installing 2.2. If you know of any programs or know of any site that can help I would be very grateful.
Phone model: Samsung gem SCH-I100
Sadness, no one has replied yet. I have one of these phones too and I want to be able to root it too. I really don't know how to root it or create a method to do it nor create or cook a rom. Let's hope someone does it soon.
I have this phone too. I have tried many ways to root this phone and none has work thus far. Methods I tried are z4root, SuperOneClick, and Universal Androot.
none of these methods works for the samsung gem running on eclair... i am unsure of the one running Froyo on US Cellular tho
try z4root or superoneclick

I've tried both. Z4root doesn't work and superoneclick doesn't give permanent root. I've been able to root w/ superoneclick and somehow the root disappears randomly without even being rebooted.
Same thing happens to me with superoneclick root.
And unless you have a CellularOne version of the Gem, you don't want to install Android 2.2 from the Samsung site. It will break the Market and it also makes the 3G fail intermittently.
Yes u can put 2.2 on gem goto Samsung site for update like I did months ago
Samsung.Com then I have ntelos so I used generic ruu update and gem much better faster gps works too

How do you root the ZTE Compel running Android Kitkat 4.4.2?
Here is how I got the phone and why I need to root it.
My parents got me my first android phone for my birthday and I thought "Hey the ZTE Compel looks good. Its got the latest version and everything" I was so wrong. It came with 4GB of storage(The OS took 3GB) and it won't let me do anything with this 32GB SD(or any SD) I have. I can't put any apps on SD so I decided to root. I am decent in Linux so I already know what rooting is. So I download towelroot and its not compatible with my phone. Tried all the modstrings. They all froze. Also I can't seem to find a manual method. Can anyone out there help me root my ZTE Compel?
Seriously.
Its been like a24 hours now and not even a reply saying "I don't know about the phone." I posted this thread hoping to find some expert out there who knew. Im good at computer programming and decent in Linux, but no way an expert in android. If some expert out there sees this maybe you root this phone the exact same way as another new less common ZTE phone.
Thanks.

Thanks but I have already tried that . Any other method or a modstring that works? Temp root modstring won't even work.
Im getting impatient now.
Its hard to believe that some phones can be rooted in just 1 click and I have tried a lot of things but if you have something(even if it requires a computer) please let me know.
Thanks.

I too need help to root ATT Compel. I've tried kingroot Towel, Superoneclick. Not tech enough to understand how to use manual.
I have the same issue. I thought this being a newer phone it would be looked into.

Yes please someone root this phone or find a way to get rid of all the crap that comes preloaded on it. I had to buy this phone because my SGS4 broke and I'm not up for the promotion price for a new one. Got this phone and its a powerful little phone. But man is the internal memory crap and it doesn't support app2sd. So I am always running into insufficient storage problems. I would appreciate someone rooting this device. Whoever roots this device or sends me info on how to root it successfully you got my donation. That's a promise.
Oh and I have tried towelroot, root genius and basically searched the web and there is very little talk on this phone. Maybe it is still too new. Obviously it is not a SGS5 or a Nexus but it is still a cost efficient phone with a quad core processor. Besides its horrible limited built-in storage its a great phone without having to be locked into a contract. Its limited storage can be easily fixed by adding the app2sd feature or just giving us root. That would help a lot. If a dev couple step in and help us out that would be great. You'll have my donation.

Mark me down under 'also interested in this.'
I'm also waiting to find a rooting solution on this phone.... Here's hoping someone is cool enough to help us Compel owners out!
Doesn't look like they are interested in advancing the Z830.
Hi Boys. This Lady Is Your Savior.
Awesome. Ironically I decided to trade it in for an Asus PadFone X Mini. Now I am waiting for root on that. Just did the trade 2 days ago. The irony. However I said I would donate and I am a man of his words. Send me a PayPal or Google wallet link. You deserve a coffee. Thanks!

So where's the help? I don't see any post or nothing in your post...
Please help!:crying:
Near as I can tell, no one has found an exploit by which to gain root on the ZTE z830 Compel. That's why none of the downloadable root-kits work on it. The "manual method" (as worked on my ZTE Valet) of copying SU & such over using adb, then changing their file permissions won't work for the same reason... There has to be something to exploit in order to get temporary permissios to muck about in the OS files.

hi!, I'm form Guatemala, and beliave or not I have this phone, wich is a great phone, good hadware, but is not way to root it.....

I bought a verizon galaxy s4 a few weeks ago and foolishly updated it. I now want to root it and i havent rooted anything in months but i wasnt to worried until i cant seem to find if you can root with version VRUFNK1. I found 1 thread where someone said they bricked there phone trying on this version. If it possible please let me know and what method to use.
you can actually root it safely only if you downgrade back to the VRUFNC5 bootloader , the use the vroot method.

I done some research and am very lost as to what to do. there are no clear instuructions on how to downgrade from vrufnk1 to vrufnc5 at all that I can find. can someone elaborate on this and give me a little more detailed instuctions and possibly links to the files ill need or websites where to find them. And is it possible to even downgrade without first being rooted? Sorry its been years since i have done this and it was way simpler on the kindle fire.
I have a buddy thats in the same boat, he's got a newer s4 and wants to rom it for his first time.
I am also in this predicament. I had a galaxy nexus that I would flash different roms to every week but I upgraded via Verizon to the S4 a few months ago -- bloatware is awful and is taking up over 7GB of my 16... Would love to get a jump on rooting, but I can't find anything on this build aside from this thread and another few posts that were also unanswered. Any help or direction would be great -- do y'all think there will have to be another way to root this build, or can downgrading be okay?
Same boat
I too am in the same boat, for some reason with i545vrufnk1, I can't root so want to downgrade the firmware to a firmware that allows me to root, tried all the various methods to root but for some reason I can't, think it might be the firmware or the knox software package.
I believe you could root with Towelroot.

I tried it with the latest official update and it won't work. I'm looking to root as well.

Look for this thread on xda search tab. It worked for me. Just follow closely.
I followed the downgrade instructions and got root back. Is it Verizon that makes it a pain in the ass? I don't know what I would do without this place and helpful people

I purchased a next book NX785QC8G with jellybean 4.2.2 already installed. Specs are in the screenshots that I have posted. I am trying to see if there is way to root this tablet. I've looked into towelroot, stumproot, cydia impactor, and others but can't get concrete answer as to if any of these would work. I don't want to risk bricking or doing worse to my tablet. I was hoping there was any information that anybody knows on rooting my tablet. Any help would be very much appreciated.
