[Q] HELP NEEDED! Rooting Android Phone

This is my phone:
View attachment 2936156
My goal is to root an android phone that I just received today in order to install custom ROM's onto it. I have no experience with rooting android phones and everything I did was based purely off of things I found online. Naturally, when things didn't go as planned, I didn't know how to trouble shoot the problem.
At first, this is the website I followed for rooting: androidxda.com/root-coolpad-f1-8297
Following that website's instructions, I got to step 6 of using framaroot to root my phone. Step 6 is where I got stuck at. Instead of saying success, I got error #9 that told me to try and use other exploits. I tried all 3 and all of them and all three failed. What went wrong?
Besides, using Framaroot, I've also tried using Kingo Root.
However, upon opening the program and waiting a few minutes, there was a popup saying something along the lines of me not being able to connect to the server.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong. Please help!
EDIT: I tried using Kingo Root today and it seemed to be working okay until my phone just suddenly restarted by itself. On the Kingo Root app, it said that the root failed because of timeout. The phone restarted by itself all other times I tried rooting with Kingo Root. Besides Kingo Root, I've also used vroot and my phone also restarted. Is it supposed to be restarting automatically?

Even check if the bootloader was unlocked? The coolpad I had was unlocked. Just flash a supersu zip.

I googled it and followed the instructions from this site: androidxda.com/root-android-device-cydia-impactor
At step 5, I occurred into a problem. After I pressed start, a popup appeared saying, "Signature bugs unavailable" after a few moments.

Anyone else?

Bump!

Hello bro try to find if there is any custom recovery for your device.. Like cwm, twrp etc...
If you find any custom recovery for your device then flash it. You should Google for it.
Then download superSU.Zip. You can download it from
download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
Then with custom recovery install this zip and reboot...
Your phone will be rooted... 100% working

For some reason, both CWM and TWRP don't have the Coolpad F1 8297 listed as a supported device. When I searched up "custom recovery for Coolpad F1 8297", there wasn't really anything related to it. Any advice?
Stuck at step 1 :crying:

Zte blade s6 rooted!

Hello guys, I'm new on here so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. I have owned a ZTE BLADE S6 since May 15 and is great value for the price, however It couldn't be rooted after trying various methods and tools. But as of today I went on-line again searching how to root this phone. I can now tell you that the phone is now ROOTED!!! YES ROOTED! using KingRoot-4.1.0.249 release-nolog-20150521_105001.apk. I did try KingRoot before but without success, alas this updated version did the trick. Google KingRoot and click download, once the app has downloaded save to your sdcard on the phone, unplug from computer and and install app using the file manager on the phone once installed open app and follow prompts on the phones screen. You should now have a rooted zte blade s6, to confirm download rootchecker from playstore. PLEASE REMEMBER ALWAYS DO BACKUP FIRST! I do NOT take responsibility for any bricked phones using the above method you DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
thanks and good luck hope it works for you.:fingers-crossed:

There ius no News inside, S6 and S6Plus can be rootet with this Version since 1,5 Month!

Hi! I really want to root my Blade S6, does this method still work??

Yeah, after you habe rooted your phone with kingroot, you can also usw the APP SuperSU me this APP removes kingroot APP and installs supersu + binaries. Root is still there!
Sent from my Blade S6 using XDA Free mobile app

I have Blade S6 (EU variant) and I tried Kingroot and then SuperSuMe and it worked first time. Then I got a message saying that there was a FOTA upgrade available. Downloaded the FOTA but wouldn't install because Rooted. So flash stock ROM (GEN_EU_BLADE_S6_V1.0.0B08) then downloaded and installed FOTA to go to B15 (GEN_EU_BLADE_S6_V1.0.0B15) retry KingRoot and it failed.
Tried EasyRoot, eRoot, BaiduRoot, KingoRoot and all failed.
As last resort installed MobileGo app on PC and it chugged away for about 20 seconds and phone now Rooted with SuperSu installed.
Just uninstalled the MobileGo app from phone and "Jobs a good'un" as they say.

Anyone having problems with adding shortcuts from Chrome to homescreen ? Wifi not connecting to certain 'open' routers and having to dial numbers twice before
pressing send ?
Will rooting my S5 help ?
Do you have a download link to the correct Kingroot for my S6 ?
Thanks
maxmix

How did you flash stock Rom
Did you use a flashtool?,if so where can I find it,I've read this phone is very easily hardbricked and before I do anything I need to know I can easily re flash the firmware should things go belly up,thank you in advance

[Completed] SuperSU binary update failed

Hello guys
So i have a problem complicated i tell you:
i ve rooted my phone sonce like 4 month with supersu and everything was working great.
one day supersu told me binary update so i put yes and then its loading for 2mins it says normal or twrp i choose normal and after binary update failed
a friend downloaded me kingroot idk why and didnt have the time to say no so
now my phone is rooted with kingroot working and supersu with binary update failed.
so one time supersu told me that some apps needs to be remove for the update and it didnt say
which so maybe it was kingroot and idk if its brick my phone so i just close the apps and i try the update every day but its not working and i dont have this message now.
please consider that i dont have money for buy a new phone if its brick so... thanks for understanding
i want to update supersu binary and remove kinguser & kingroot.
i have a samsung galaxy A5
!!can u tell me if i use cleaning options in supersu like delete other root apps so kinguser it can brick my phone? And after i used that use reinstall supersu from play store option?
Thanks

Hello, thank you for using XDA Assist.
This is pretty easy so i'll answer you right away, go HERE and download the latest binary files from chainfire and flash them via recovery. Then boot up and uninstall kingroot and all other root apps. You should then have working root and a working root controlling app.
Good luck!

Help! Lost Root??

Hi all,
I am having problems with my phone and its starting to drive me crazy. I have a ZTE N817 (Obama phone) which I rooted and flashed TWRP to about 8 months ago. The rom is stock because I've never been able to find any custom roms. I used the kingoroot PC application to root the device (the app I've found that was able to root it), and replaced kinguser with supersu. Everything worked great, or at least as good as one can expect from a device with such lown spec hardware.
About a week ago I opened my busybox installer (Busybox Pro (Stericson) and I noticed the app said either I didn't have root or I needed to update the supersu binary. I had the most recent supersu binary but I reinstalled it and updated the binary anyway. The binary updated fine. Busybox still said I didnt have root. I then down loaded a root checker app from the store, it said I had root and my busybox installation was fine. I opened a few more apps that require root (titanium backup, root explorer, etc) all said the device was not rooted. I installed a couple more root checkers, both said the device was not rooted but one said busybox was installed and the other said it wasnt. The first root checker app still said the phone was rooted and busybox installed.
Whenever I run an app that requires root, I get the popup from supersu asking me to grant root access. I grant it but then the apps just tell me that they are unable to get root access and my device is not rooted. I reinstalled kingoroot on my PC and ran it to root the phone again. It said it ran successfully, supersu installed fine and updated the binary. Still no change in anything. I tried to use kingoroot to unroot the device (just so I could root it again) but kingoroot was unsuccessful, but it says it has no problems rooting it.
At this point I have no idea what is going on or how I can get root access back. Any help or ideas anyone may have will be greatly appreciated.:highfive: Like I said, its seriously starting to drive me nuts. :crying::crying:
Happy Memorial Day to everyone!

Yes, I still have TWRP. If I install supersu from the play store without the binary installed the app will tell me immediately after opening that my device is not rooted and it won't work. If I flash the binary through TWRP first, then supersu installs from the play store no different than if the device was still rooted, but I still don't have root. I get the toast notifications whenever an app requests access, but of course it is unable to grant it. I am still on the exact same version of Android as when I got the phone, nothing other than apps themselves have been updated. I have zero idea how I lost root, and even more confusing to me is why I cannot reacquire it. Again just last night, I tried Kingoroot (what I originally rooted the device with), Dr Fone, iRoot, eRoot and Framaroot. Every one failed.:crying: It's a real pain in the rear because the phone's hardware is so lacking that root access is needed just to make the device somewhat usable. I have not ever been able to find a custom rom despite searching all over many times. But last night I was thinking, since I stil have TWRP if I can find someone else with the same handset with root....could I flash a backup of their stock rom? Would that work?:fingers-crossed: I'm becoming extremely frustrated

Here are some things to check.
Maybe you need to make sure you have root access in developer options set to "apps and adb".
Make sure you have a root explorer and that it is enabled.
Check SELinux to see if it's set to "enforcing" or "permissive", set it to permissive if you can.
You might need to use SuperSU in "systemless mode"
Yes, in theory, a rooted backup from someone else should work.
