Hello people of XDA, I don't know if this is the right place for the post, I'm sorry if it isn't. I have a problem with Kingo Root, I used it to root my BL locked M2 Aqua (D2403), root checker confirms root, but whenever I try to use anything with root, even if I grant access it says I don't have root (Xposed, BusyBox, Root browser, ROM Toolkit). Now I'm guessing it just pasted the files and my guess is that root checker works only by seeing if the SuperUser program grants it permission. As I've seen a lot of people have had problems with rooting the device, so I just want to give up and restore unroot. The problem is, I can't remove the SuperUser app from Kingo Root, I've tried substituting it with SuperSU via the Terminal, but as it is not rooted properly, it cannot be done, aswell as trying to unroot with Kingo Root, but failed, so I want to ask you if there is a way for me to remove this, and maybe possibly root the device with the bootloader locked? Thanks in advance!
Hi there
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. There definitely isn't a dedicated section for your device on XDA, however a quick search uncovered the following thread:
[Q] Root Xperia M2 Aqua(D2403)
It doesn't seem very positive at first but take a look at post #9, he links to a root method that he says works. So I'd start there.
Good luck

What I would do is a clean re-install via PCC/SUS to the latest firmware-that way the the root files are cleaned up, then root via the method faizalotai has linked to.
Also you may want to refrain from using VRoot. Apparently it was deemed risky on XDA recently, I can't find the post saying so but am sure I've read it somewhere.
rooting and bootloaders have nothing to do with each other.
you can root and not unlock the bootloaders
or
you can unlock your bootloaders and not root
Rooting gives you admin level access on the phone, to change system files and access stuff a normal android phone can't unless rights for applications can be elevated to root.
Unlocking the bootloaders allows custom kernels that are flashed to the phone to boot.
This is my first post!
Hey XDA! I'm looking for a way to root my htc one mini without a computer because right now I have no access to a pc. I've tried towelroot kingroot Framaroot apks but they don't work does anybody know if there might be any apps out there that can root the phone?

Hi all,
I have a query and I hope you can help me. If this is a wrong forum please direct me to the correct one.
I have a Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653) on Android 5.5.1. I have done following -
I installed kingroot from their website and ran it. I got root access which was checked by root checker.
When I restarted, I lost my root access.
Having done some reasearch, I proceeded to unlock the boot loader. It has now been unlocked successfully but the phone was reset to factory setting.
I have then tried the king root method. Again I got the root access, but lost it after reboot. I thought unlocking the boot loader will fix this but it hasnt.
Please help and advise what options I have now ?
Regards

I'm referring to the ZE511ML/Z00AD on build MMB29P.WW-ASUS_Z00A-4.21.40.223_20161216_7766_user .
I've tried Framaroot, iRoot, Towelroot, KingRoot, KingoRoot and Root Genius.
I've also tried with this, this and this but they all give me something like a "You're not allowed to flash to this partition" error.
Is there a currently working method to root the Zenfone 2 WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader?
Extra question: if I manage to get root access, can I still download official updates, do I have to unroot first or will I be forever banned from the updates server?
Hello, I am trying to root my Alcatel A466BG. Eventually I'd like to install Kali Nethunter. I've tried all the root software (Framaroot, Kingo ROOT, Super SU) but none have worked. My phone is really cheap so I think that's the problem. Does anyone know how I can root my device? After that, what about bootloader, unlock etc...? Can anyone give me instructions for my Alacatel? Thanks
Hi, me again...Can anyone help? I was told xda is the place to look for help on rooting my phone. Please reply. Thanks
A quick search shows that there are a lot of questions about how to unlock the bootloader and root this device. But, not a single success story... Sorry.
