Hi
I have a EE Kestrel.
I ran Towelroot on it. Towelroot says that it has been successfully rooted, however SU will not work, and check root apps say that it is not rooted. I only wish to root it to rid it of bloatware and run an adblocker !
It is running the latest OTA update and is Android 4.3 I think.
The bootloader is not unlocked (although I have asked Huawei to unlock it).
Is that the issue or is it something else?
Thanks.
PS I have read all the threads I could find and no solution ....

Sorry if this is posted in incorrect place. I need a Root Method with Kit Kat 4.4.3 Update
I know Weaksauce used to work but since update it won't but does anyone have a root method that won't wipe device?
I really just want like a Temp root for access to Files

Please read the forums this has been discussed many times at length since prior to the release of the update.
If you have taken the update you can no longer root without unlocking the device.
The release notes for the update state that the root vulnerability has been patched.
You need to pay the $25 for the sunshine unlock app.
Thank you will do

Do not update! Use sunshine to unlock then upgrade all you want with out worrying about the bl becoming locked again!
Sent From My Droid Ultra
I purchased the phone brand new thinking it would come with the very first firmware so I wouldn't run into this issue.
Well. I'm scratching my head debating whether or not to send it back.
I have successfully obtained ROOT using Towel-Root. But I'd really like to unlock my boot-loader!!!!
I have Googled everything I could think of, watched NUMEROUS videos. But no one else is running 9.30.1.
I have read that if I take the OTA update to 184.x.x then I would be screwed with ROOT and boot-loader.
Am I missing something? Or is it not possible to unlock boot-loader on 9.30.1?
If it's not possible, is it possible to use fastboot to flash Cyanogenmod to my XT926 without custom recovery since I have obtained ROOT?
This really sucks. I just upgraded from an XT907 running 184.46.15 and was upset because I could not gain root.
Can I update to newer android OS and still obtain root on my XT926?
I've done it!
Download the 183.46.10 update.
Use RSDLite 6.1.4 to flash the update.
Towelroot to root.
Motopocalypse to unlock bootloader.
PROFIT.
Question like in topic. I upgraded to Lolipop as soon as it was avaible, but now I want to root my device(I dont trust KingRoot). Is there any good and relativelly safe mehtod to do so, or rather method of unlocking bootloader for this soft, Im asking becasue I didnt find any such opic on this forum or over internet, plus my attempts to unlock BL via flashtool failed.
have you checked the service menu to see if you can unlock the bootloader??
and i have used kingroot seemed to work fine got rid of all the bloatware on 5.1 with root explorer
anyway look at this
Hi.
I know that my device is bootloader locked (Was on O2) and I would like to root it. However I would like to keep Android 7.11. Is there a temporary root for it? I know there was for Android 5 and 6.
Also someone else on the forum managed to get their bootloader unlock to yes. If there is a paid for utility that does that I would pay for it.
Many Thanks,
