So i've searched this entire forum for topics dealing with the samsung appeal. Not only does this site have not much if anything no other sites have much either. I've got an appeal and im looking to root it as well as other tips and tricks. It's similar to the captivate with the qwerty key board but i've yet to find anything on how to root this phone. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem. I bought the appeal when switching to AT&T, but did not want a contract.
It does not seem to be a popular phone for developers. I am hoping there is a older root guide that will work with the Appeal (I827). If not I am willing to try and root the phone manually. I have not worked with Android coding much and could use a guide.
Thanks for any help!

I have the same phone. Samsung Galaxy Appeal SGH-i827
Android 2.3.6
AT&T
It would be a much more decent phone if it was rooted.
Samsung Galaxy Appeal Root
First off, I take NO credit for this guide. I do not know much about rooting phones or exploits.
However, I have spent a considerable amount of time searching for a way to root this phone.
I have not tried this yet, but a few friends who have rooted various phones say it should work. It was last updated early September, 2012.
The only download (aside from drivers) is hboot.
I registered specifically to include this, so I cannot link it yet (just remove the newlines).

appeal.html
So I just tried this, and it turns out the z4root exploit doesn't work.
I'm using Android 2.3.6 with kernel 2.6.38.6 on a Samsung model SGH-I827, if it makes a difference.
Further attempts show anything using the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work. This rules out most of the One Click-based applications.
I'm trying GingerBreak 1.2 when I can get a microSD card.
Sorry if this is bringing up an old thread, but I just got this phone... is there any chance of ever seeing root for this phone?
Have you tried Gingerbreak? Its worked on 4/5 Android devices I've owned.

The phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.6. From what I have researched, Gingerbreak only works only up to 2.3.3. I have read that some other people have tried it, but no success. There is also something called SuperOneClick (I believe), which, apparently does not work on this phone as well...?

Extremely frustrating. been trying alot my self but nothing works yet and no one outside the usual copy paste linkers will help. i fear the devs of the rooting community just don't want to help on this one as i hav'nt recieved a single response on the many forums i've asked about this, even under thier official rooting pages etc. quite frankly i'm getting fed up.
In all honesty I fixed my infuse a while ago and it started acting upagain so I dreaded it but used the appeal. The appeal is basically the cheapest most standard type of smartphone there is. Yes it would be better with root (and better ram) but I don't believe it has the capabilities to be rooted without making it unresponsive over worked and generally being hated by all. So I'd hate to say it but no one wants to root this phone bc of all the complaints it would cause like bricking ect. But do not get discouraged. If you want to root talk more about it and I'm sure someone will write a root code for this phone. On another not it still has quite a bit of functions and customizable aspects like go launcher ik works to fully theme ur phone and speed it up.

Yo Appeal guys. I come from another low activity device board so I feel your pain. I do operate primarily from another forum entirely but hang here as well.
Anyways, more to the point: I may have a method that should work for you guys. It's been up for a couple weeks with no "yay" or "nay" to it's functionality though. Anyone familiar with the "update.zip" root method?...
Root update.zip
The results of this, like I said, have yet to be seen, but common results are as follows:
1. Full root and userdata wipe (something weird in the recovery framework]
2. Signature verification failure and no root acheived.
XDA tends to be more daring than the general public, so this is a good place for such a package.
Enjoy!

Well crap... Gotta find another signer...
Anyone ready for a round 2?
Appeal CWM 5.0.2.8
This recovery should work with that zip, no problem. Installs with odin3 v1.8 somethin, whatever works on the Ace+
(original thread: http://androidarea51.com/***-all-things-root-***-197/(recoveryroot)-clockworkmod-5-0-2-8-appeal/)
if you follow the link Motorhead posted, we have gotten CWM working and Root on Galaxy Appeal, info is in the thread... and you need odin3 v1.85 to install cwm and the you flash the root update.zip from cwm, so wait no more Appeal users have at it lol...
i have been lead tester on the appeal, i have tested these things myself and we also had another user jump on as i was testing CWM and then Root, i walked him through it and everything went well for him, i am going to be working on a basic deodexed debloated rom build for the Appeal as well in the next couple days, my first shot at android development, so check out http ://android area51. com/ to keep up on our latest developments... we specialize in prepaid android devices, mostly straight talk, but if you troll around the forums long enough you might just get somebody to take your phone on as a project like i did lol, big thanks to Motorhead, DroidHost and everyone over at AA51 for cracking the blind open allowing me to slide down into the rabbit hole lol, and a big thanks to XDA for being such a wealth of information and source of research for me to go deeper and deeper, i'll be sure to credit individual users on my ROM release.
That didn't work for me either.

I have the ZTE Rapido Lte from straight talk and was wondering if anyone has found a way to root this phone yet. I have tried program after program and no avail. I am on android 4.1.2. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also just got this phone. I have been religiously trying different root methods. None have worked out for me. I've run out of answers. I imagine there is a dev out there somewhere trying to release a new rev of Framaroot that would cover this phone. As of rootandroid.com this is not rootable of yet. I am not used to having an unrooted phone and I hate not having root. I hope someone else replies so we aren't stuck in the grip and mercy of the manufacturer.
I just got one today, I tried a bunch of methods as well to no avail. If there is anyone that can help I can pull an image from the phone so that others with more technical expertise might be able to go over it and find a way to root it.
More specifically,what kind of image would be needed? Any statistical info is available on the manufacturers website. In the case of a system image, what process and software would be needed? i will image mine if I have a procedure to follow.
I'm very interested in this myself. I just got one a few days ago and am already missing my rooted and ROMed Droid X. Please someone save us.
Same here I have tried framaroot z4root towel root root master root genius poot and none worked. Someone please help

Damn.
I just bought this phone for my Mom--her first smartphone since Verizon is the only thing in her coverage area. She's having trouble with the ringtones being too flat and not loud enough on the device.
I was hoping someone would've figured out a root for this beautiful little prepaid ZTE so I could somehow increase her ringtone/alert volume level. Maybe I'll poke around with the phone next time I'm near it.
So far she can answer calls and get on Skype

so it didn't go well?
Has anyone got root for ZTE Rapido LTE Z932L?
Any progress?
Just checking in to see if anybody had any progress on rooting the Z932L.
I haven't seen any posts online on any site of people making any progress or even talking about this phone anymore, but it would still be nice if it was rootable.
It's been years since I've played around with rooting but I received a Verizon Tab 2 10.1 (5100) which is on 4.1.2. I have been trying to decipher all the information on here to root the device but can't seem to get it. I am able to get into odin and have tried multiple "tar and zip" files to load CWM but it won't complete the root. It fails every time. I have been searching the forum, but there's a crap load of info and I'm hoping someone is kind enough to help. If someone can help I'll throw some beer money in their PayPal account. Thanks
From what I understand from days of studying all this for my new toy: If you don't want your flash counter to increment, the easiest way to root your Tab is by flashing a pre-rooted stock image.
I'm gonna guess towelroot would work just fine. Several vulnerabilities should be open right now for this age of device. I own a 7 inch WiFi I know I just used cf-autoroot but I would imagine towelroot or kingo root would be easier.

Look up Cydia impactor (Google of course ) , this will root "network tabs" but that's as far as you'll get, no development or custom roms available.
Anything that's for Wifi Tab2 10.1 will brick network tabs ( Verizon, Sprint, Att.) .

So the Samsung Galaxy Prevail LTE (aka Samsung Galaxy Core Prime) has been on the market for almost 3 months now, and I've yet to find any applications or methods to root this device.
Maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places?
So far I've tried the following:
-iRooot (formerly vRoot)
-Kingo
-TowelRoot
-OneClickRoot
-SRSroot
Also I've tried to root via the ADB push method to load busybox and su. However, hooking the Android up to a machine running Ubuntu and launching Nautilus, I'm unable to see or browse the directories on the device.
So does anyone have any recommendations or know of any apps or methods that might work?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Unfortunately these phones don't seem to be very common or sold in certain territories making it difficult for developers to root them. Keep looking for a root as you never know when one will come out but as far as I'm aware the phone has not been successfully rooted yet.
kingroot_4.0.0 so far is what ive found. not like having su but i can install viper and xposed and both work so its a improvement.
There is a root available over on Androidforums.com under the heading "prevail LTE root". It uses another recovery and rooting for another model samsung but it does work ok. I tried it on my prevail LTE and is currently running rooted right now. When you first do it I recommend you do it after a fresh wipe and then wipe again immediately thereafter because it will give you a system UID error if not. So use Titanium Backup to restore apps and settings after you wipe ( judiciously). I've talked to shabbypenguin to see if he would develop a recovery for it. He's busy so I guess I mean I'm waiting right now for him to get to it.<br />

CF-Auto-Root-fortuna3gdtv-fortuna3gdtvvj-smg530bt with odin 3.07 will root phone. extract recovery img with 7zip from firmware and change format to tar and you can reflash stock recovery.
Now how do we get a custom recovery cause im having a brain fart. But this is only my second phone to root and last one was pretty much 2 yrs old and i just followed a forum.
I used the latest version of Kingroot and it was a simple one-click root. The version i used was in Chinese, i think, but i went to their website through chrome on my laptop and just let google translate the page and then followed the instructions from there...Now im real new to all this so im sure there may be easier ways...My phone is rooted, I have my MSL, so i have to ask... Now what?

You and me both are wondering this. It would be sweet to run this device on CyanogenMod.
I second that

I hope they come out with a custom recovery and custom rom SOON . There's so many things I'd like to see happen with this phone . If a dev sees this i hope he/she can make something happen Plleeaassee !!!!
Anyone making progress on this phone? I too would like to have Cyanogenmod on it if possible!
I used the method show at androidforums. com/threads/prevail-lte-root.906261/ to root 2 devices mine and my wife's both work fine with SU enabled too. Now I just need some custom roms to make it work like it should have from factory lol
Bump!
Just wondering if there is a user friendly rooting method for this Samsung Galaxy Core Prime out yet?

My bad for n00b question but where do i find the correct custom ROM & hotspot & cf?
Any idiot proof tutorial or youtube on this for step by step how to?
The ones ive read of using custom ROM enough have reported bricking their phones some of which have been recovered & others not.
Then ive read some missing features like tethering/hot spot.
Mainly i want to easy move all 3 parts of data of an apps to my 128gb SD cause the available on-board 5gb ill use up in less than a month.
KingRoot has a root exploit for the newest Galaxy Prevail LTE. I'm rooted and running the Xposed Framework.
Can give u hotspot for $20

Hi there, My names K.C. and ive been having trouble (more then i thought id have) trying to root and in learning how too root my Samsung Galaxy SIII, and other devices I own. but its been one headache after another with this device, currently I own three of these little buggers and of all the three ive settled down with my Verizon SIII Model: SCH-I535, Android: 4.3, Baseband: I535VRUCML1, Kernel: 3.0.31 [email protected] #1, Build: JSS15J.I535VRUCML1, SE: Permissive, Hardware: I535.10
Now I've tried to gain root a number of ways, and to no success in any of them, For the longest time I was trying no too use a computer, or anything other then my device and still nothing yet. I have tried kingroot, kingoroot, towelroot, and many others all say the same thing, "Your Device is Now Rooted" "Root Gained" "Made it Rain" so on and so forth, I am currently still in need of Root, but I have gained some root, and I have tried too boot into a custom recovery to no avail. I have downloaded so many files, programs, and have tried everything I can think of though I havent much experience with linex, IOS, or Android, and have very limited experience with any OS as is but I joined XDA with hopes of finding good help, that wont confuse me with a long list of details that doesnt even play a factor into wat i am doing. Cause everytime I search for something about my phone or any device, theres always a million and one posts about every other verient of the device and maybe one or three of the one im currently using so please i beg you all, if theres anything you know or may have too share please I ask you to share and help an ignorent dum dum like me too learn. thank you all for your time and efforts ahead of time, it is greatly appreciated

Is your phone still stuck in download mode or did you recover from that? Honestly, since you can get into download you can still fix your device I believe. Have you used Odin yet?
