Hi. I believe I have unlocked my HBOOT, as it sais unlocked. And I have flashed the CWM as I now have super su installed.
I would like to root it and want to know what else i can do to it?
I have on android 4.0.3 1.27.0000
what else can i do? can someone help me please? thanks in advanced!
If you have SU installed your phone is rooted. CWM is a recovery, and doesn't have anything to do with SU other than you need root to get either one.
You are already rooted.
Just out of curiosity, why did you root your phone if you have no idea what it does? What are you trying to attain with root access?

Well yes it is on there, when i flashed the zip and rebooted, it was on there.
And well, a friend of mine had a s2 and he had the hacked sky go app, and tbh that sounded amazing.
That is what i wanted. The main reason really. But someone said about having s-off on it. But it is still on s-on.

I see, I'm not sure what the hacked sky go app does, does it enable you to watch Sky Channel wherever you are?
You can still be rooted with S-On, you just cannot perform certain low level functions.
You currently are rooted with CWM installed, so go ahead and install the APK you are looking to and grant it root permissions when asked, but be careful what you install.

Yeah I have tried to install the apk, but it wont come up on super su for permission. I try and open the sky go apk and it says sky has stopped working. When I click on the super su, only lucky patcher is on there. No other apps are on there. Do I have to install the full verson of super su?

you have to successfully open the app in order for it to ask for SU permission and then for you to allow it, the fact that it force closes means it's not even getting a chance to ask for SU before it FCs.
Either the apk is bad or conflicting with your system.
Boot into CWM and go to Advanced, Fix Permissions and reboot, see if you can open it now. Otherwise try to find another hacked APK and let's see if that works.
I tried opening SU after I accepted an OTA update (like an idiot, I know) and I used Root Checker and it seems I've lost my root. I have a GS3, 4.1.2
I want to root it again, what should I do? Will it brick my phone if I root again, or will I be fine? Should I delete SU also? Thanks in advance.

You can try to delete SU but it prob won't go away this happened to my galaxy tab 2 damn updates, you should be able to find a root guide for 4.1.2 if you need any help just ask and I will look at lunch break or later

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Looks like root didn't survive something, sounds like above the SuperSU update (usually it's the system updates that get you). It means the system files required for root (su) are no longer on system, or the permissions for it are not set properly. Can always re-root and see what happens.
Other than that, what is your device make, model and carrier? Thanks.
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.

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!
