[Q] Need help with rooting off brand tablet

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
Sent from my F-10XHD using XDA Free mobile app

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

[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!

Root solution for D801 Lollipop

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!

Anyone tried Kingroot?

Kingroot is one of those foreign one click root things, but it does have a thread here on XDA. I heard of it because it can root S4's on Lollipop without having to flash things in download mode. It's an option if you're desperate for root and don't care about flash counters, q-fuses, q-fuses, warranty bits, whatever. I don't know if there's any risk of bricking, but if it does work that would be nice to know, and once rooted we can replace Kinguser with any number of tutorials.
If this works, then it can certainly open up expiration for more exploits/workarounds/unlocks so it would be nice. As always, nothing is guaranteed and I know the pain of a locked bootloader life (my phone took an OTA while I was on an exploited firmware and I've been locked to Touchwiz ever since ) but hopefully we can at least get the spark going.

Didn't work with KingRoot, or Kingo ROOT. With KingRoot it told me right away it couldn't. Kingo ROOT restarted into download mode and nothing happened. Had to restart phone. Maybe if I installed all the drivers and tried again it might work.

This is definitely an option I'm gonna explore. I'm not sure how much longer can handle l the adds.

Any update on this? Did it work?

I've installed all the drivers for lg phones on my pc. I have tried kingo root with no luck. It boots into software update mode and stays there at 0% and kingroot I've been checking every day since the release of the phone to try to root. I have used king root on previous androids I have owned and it works just fine on them. This h900 has to root yet that I am aware of and I have looked for hours.

Here's the forum where we are trying to get root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/praying-root-t3215643/page56
Basically right now it's just waiting on us getting a TOT file so jcase can restore his phone if his exploit goes fubar and bricks his phone.
He has stated he has a few exploits he thinks will work on all the carries, but isn't go to test them without being able to restore.

Also I think someone has already released a system pull.

You would be correct. Nothing really came it though. We need a tot before jcase is going to try his root exploits.

The links to download the required files don't actually contain the files needed, unfortunately.

LG G3 Marshmallow and install Kingroot
I successfully rooted my LG G3 with Marshmallow build all from the phone. (Not Rooted)
After Downloading the Kingroot APK file I tried numerous Apps to try and run it and all failed.
Install Total Commander onto your LG G3 from the Google play store.
Install Astro onto your LG G3 from the Google play store.
Run total Commander and navigate to downloads.
Hold your Finger down on the on the Kingroot apk file and hit open with when the screen list pops up
Select the Astro app.(App Info)
Then Install the app at the bottom and follow the rest of the KingRoot instructions.
No Hassle and took 2 min

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.
