I have a Linsay F-10xhd tab and have been searching everywhere on the net for a way to root this device. I have tried every 1 click method out there and they weren't able to root it. If anyone here has rooted a Linsay device can you point me in the right direction. I have a bunch of preloaded apps I would love to get rid of.
Didi some digging
And read that my drivers were not working properly with Vroot and Kingroot. So I uninstalled my drivers for this device and reinstalled then using PDA.net. Then I ran it through Vroot. After it did its thing it said it was successful rooted. Checked with root checker from playstore and it said it wasn't rooted
So I tried it again with kingroot but when it was finished connecting it said it was rooted and if I wanted to "unroot" or "root again"
That's as far as I've gotten. I didn't want to go further for fear of bricking my tablet.
I also downloaded Supersu, Busybox, and twrp and wasn't able to do anything cause they also said the device wasn't rooted. Anybody know why Vroot and Kingroot would say I'm rooted but these other apps are saying otherwise?
After days of trying to get this thing rooted, I figured out what went wrong. I deleted the kinguser app that comes with Kingroot when rooting. I downloaded the kinguser apk, installed it and got root permission!
So if you have a Linsay F-10XHD tablet, you have to use the kingroot method to root it. I'm still debating if I should replace kinguser with supersu. Don't see any real difference between the two. I might just keep kinguser

Hope this method works for me just got tablet for free today going to try later hope I don't run into issues now
Kingroot worked beautifully no problems here

So this is the story and I myself cannot believe how it all happened either. So, I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce 2. Got it almost to the day it was released. Not a bad phone at all despite all I am about to say. So, it came with a locked bootloader so not an easy root to acquire. After researching, I found a link on XDA about how to root it. It's a very unorthodox exploit and I won't get into it but will leave the link if you want to read about it. So, I used the root method which BTW is with kingroot...but not only kingroot, Antutu is needed as well. Anyway, after a dozen or so attempts, I achieved root access. Needless to say, I was happy. So, I installed Titanium, Xposed Framework, lucky patcher and so on. Well, this is where it gets complicated. Somehow, not really sure, perhaps a conflict with an app I had caused my root go fail....BUT KingUser AND SuperSU were still installed . Root checker told me my device is not properly rooted. Then I tried everything...I mean everything. Factory Reset it well, by now...I'd say 100 times. No good. KingUser and SuperSU still there and no root access. It gets stranger. Some apps I have such as Aptoide will tell me my device IS rooted and some, well...most say it is not. I cannot regain root by any method now because of those installed apps that will not uninstall. And I cannot delete them because my phone SHOULD be rooted with them installed. So that's it for the most part. If ANYONE has a solution, you will win the prize. Trust me, I would be not only grateful but extremely amazed. I have spend I'm sure hundreds of hours doing everything I know and more to repair and....NOTHING. Please HELP!!

Hi, thanks for using XDA Assist!
Please post your question here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Good luck!
Thread closed.
I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.
Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.
I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.
I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.
Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.
Android version: 5.0.2
Build number: LRX22G
Software version: D80130c
Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.
Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?
UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.
UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.
If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.
Guys, just followed nbi1's method and finally got this working! Thanks!

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).

Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.
UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.
UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.

Thanks for the info. Did method 1 not work for you though?
So I finally tried to root my phone. Tried the LG One Click Root first and as posted here it did not work right. I have now SuperSU on the phone but I can't grant root to anything. Rootchecker shows no root. Now I tried Kingoroot and SuperSU asks to grant access but I can't confirm it. Looks like I have to first get rid of SuperSU? Stuck here not sure what I need to do the get rid of the butchered SuperSU install. Any tips?
Can someone point me to where I can get the AutoRec version that works on D801 Lollipop?

I was able to do the same using KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105241.apk and Super-Sume-v9.1.9.apk
If KingRoot tells you "Unable to get root strategy" or "Failed to acquire cloud issued Root strategy", try to reboot once or twice before trying anything else!
Hello I don't know if I can ask here but I can't root my device. I have tried almost everything, from the apk's and even on my laptop. I have a Lenovo A816 running on 4.4.4. I just got this phone, I'm actually an Apple user but my iPhone is being repaired right now. It's safe to say I don't know anything about Androids. I've looked all over google for guides on this phone but nothing comes up. I really want to uninstall some of these system apps. I've tried King root, Vroot' iRoot' framaroot, oneclickroot. I've literally tried every one of them to no avail. When I switched to my laptop, I used Kingo Root and it said root was successful but when I tried root checker it said my root is not installed properly, so no root again. Is there anything I can do to root it. This phone is Chinese. I'm in the UK.
Thanks
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.

So I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU using the kingo root apk. And it installed it's version of superuser. But when I rebooted my tablet I lost root. So I attempted to re root using kingo again but when I open kingo it says I have root already and the button to begin rooting my degice is no longer therw. All I can do is go to kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried deleting the kingoroot app and reinstalling and still saying I'm already rooted. So it won't let me re-root using kingo since it thinks I am rooted and the button to root no longer is available. What should I do. I need root back in order to get rid if the kingo Superuser. And I would just like to have root in general since that was my main goal in the first place
