[Q] Root ZTE Rapido Lte

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.

ZTE Rapido
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

new news
any news on root i want to update it to lollipop

Solved!
I just rooted mine with king root apk. http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application or Google it. Make sure you download the latest version and if you don't get success on the first try keep trying it took me three tries. Please confirm if it works for you...

No root
Tried the KingoRoot download. Tried 17 times. Never once got a positive from any root checker app

this phone uses the same board as the zte n9511, and the n9511 has cwm and custom roms. im gonna try zte source flasher and see what happens

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.

root for the rct6303w87dk w/ 5.0 lollipop

hey, i just registered here to inform you all that ive figured out a way to root the new rca viking pro, but i cant seem to get supersu to install its updated binaries... i went about it like this, i searched google for kingroot app, installed it, followed the instructions it came with, and for my own benefit, i ran it twice just to make sure it worked. and wala, root! but the downside is they have their own form of su called king user. and i hate it. i hope this info helps someone, as ive came to this site on so many occaisions and everytime something on here bailed me out of a jam, i figured it was bout time i gave to a site that contributed so much to me. i love xda, and i hope someone here can get some nice things going with this tablet. thanks for your time... May

info on the RCT6303W87DK
also, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, DO NOT CHANGE THE GENERIC.kl file on this device!!! the keyboard that comes with it, and the volume and power buttons on the device will NO LONGER function!!! just got a replacement from wallyworld because of my epic failure.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! :good:

I tried a few different methods last night to install supersu binaries effectively breaking root a few times all resulting in using king root to "reroot". The main issue I'm having is it immediately has an update to version 1.9.1 (tablet firmware).. To get around this prompt lock the tablet, turn screen back on but unlock it with camera (bottom right). After doing this you get home rows back. Now since root I'm getting failures to install the update and every time it comes on I'm promoted for the update multiple times. Any ideas?

you have to be unrooted to apply system updates... then re root. king root should have an unroot option in app, so un rooting isnt hard. or you can hook the tab to your pc and use kingo to unroot. it will unroot, but it wont root...

I can confirm that kingroot does in fact have an option to unroot. I can also confirm that it is able to reroot after the 1.9.1 update.
Mine updated to that the first time I turned it on and I lost the update file. Can anyone tell a difference before and after the update?
I'm going to do a full stock ROM dump tonight to share. Just in case me or anyone else screws theirs up. I want to install a custom recovery and don't want to take any chances with it. Locked mtk bootloaders are ugly. Especially on these newer chipsets which cannot be unlocked as easily as the old ones.
Btw, before I finally found kingroot I must have tried about thirty different ways to root this thing. I tried several on phone root apps and a bunch of ones which required a pc connection to work and I came up short.
I got partial root with iroot 1.7 something for PC. It installed kingroot and would say that it was granting root to apps but noting actually had root.
Finally I found the latest version of vroot. V1.8 something, it had the same root database number as the earlier iroot which I had, though. Then I installed the pdanet drivers and ran the vroot and it worked! Finally! I spent hours on the stupid thing.
I did try the kingroot (iroot) apk and it couldn't root it and suggested I try the PC version.
What I'm getting at is that possibly fw 1.9.1 is just a security patch that makes it harder to root. Because when I tried the apk it couldn't handle it and I had to use the PC version with pdanet drivers to get it to work. While the apk worked for you on v1.9.0 (mine updated the first time I powered it on).
So if you install the update you might want to watch out for that.
It may be possible to stop the forced ota with fotakill. Just Google the apk and place it in your /system/app folder, then delete it rename the update in your cache folder and restart.
That has always worked for me so far on all of my other Android devices.

Used titanium back up to freeze the updater. Went to Dev options, enabled show processor usage or something to that nature.. Watched for any thing popping up that said update. I don't remember the exact apk but a simple search with in titanium for the word update returns the only app containing it. This did indeed solve my problem about the constant update. Also another work around to bypass the update, tell it to "download and install" then immediately his stop/cancel download. This will be my last post for now on the device as I no longer own it.
Have a blessed day!

For those wanting wired controller support, tincore works wonderfully. Im using an official xbox360 control and it controls the ui and a majority of my games. Emulators as well. This is pretty much the only way to use a wired control on this tablet as far as i know. I've tried dozens of methods to no avail. Still trying to get su up and running as well. King root does function but id prefer something im used to. Anyone know of a custom recovery that'd work on this thing???

When I first got the tablet, i let it update then got the kingroot apk, installed it and it rooted. The one i used is in chinese but it had instructions and i followed them to the t. It worked. And the back up of the rom would be greatly appreciated by ALOT of us trust me. Especially me...?

Overall, this is a pretty nice tablet to own. The space alone is worth the price of admission. The specs are decent as well. Quad core, mali gpu, one gb ram, the detachable keyboard, oh i could go on. Im a heavy gamer and this is perfect for me. I have all the power i need to run everything i use. And with a 32 gb sdcard and 32gb internal, thats plenty storage for pretty much anything. I recommend this device to anyone looking for performance on a budget. 10/10

Yes, I'ts very nice. I couldn't find anything else that would even come close to it in that price range. Even used ones....
I was able to edit some config files for mrkdroidtools and got it working properly with mt8127 for the most part. At least now it will create the proper scatter file (in the correct format) for mt8127. Even though it's working properly to create the scatter, you have to use Windows enabler to allow to click the greyed out scatter file button. Before if you did that it would create a scatter in the old format without correctly identifying partition types and even not setting the correct partition sizes in the scatter. Also the chip was identified incorrectly before and now it's not.
All of the mt8127 scatters I have seen use scatter v1.1.2 (not the old format) and now I got it to output that. With proper scatter you can manually pull each partition correctly in spft.
Mtkdroidtools will now partially work for backup. It will pull firmware.info, mounts.info, and phone.info. along with NVRAM and /system only. Can't pull the others because the partitionsions are locked. Even with insecure adb (root ADB) and selinux set to permissive.. You can get old style scatter from firmware.info and mtk studio, but better to let mtkdroidtools pull the correct one.
It will try to make the CWM recovery but fails out. Magic twrp will now create the correct recovery and push it to the phone (with files from spft backup) but the recovery won't work due to the locked loader.
At least I know my backup works now because I was able to reflash the original recovery with it (this is how I screwed up my first one, which ended up going back to Wal-Mart). That first one stopped booting, but it was still recognized by spft. I just had no backup to fix it with. If they rma it, I'm sure it can be reflashed with original firmware and resold.
I will be putting this all in a toolkit and uploading. This can benefit all devices with mt8127, not just us. I also have the latest spft and I even found the checksum.exe in another package somewhere. This can be used to generate the firmware checksums for spft so you don't have to flash with checksum turned off (safer).
Haven't tried to reroot with mtkdroidtools because I think the supersu is pretty old. Don't think it will work properly in lollipop.
I wish there was a way to unlock the bootloader. I poked around in my backup of it and it clearly references files from NVRAM. Files with checksums and lists. I would think that there would be some other tablet sold under a different brand which is unlocked out there
Somewhere which is the same as ours.
Gotta run. I'll try to upload the toolkit after work if there is time. I need to clean up my backup to remove personal files from data before uploading. If it's an emergency and someone needs backup without /data I can provide now. Don't know if it will work though because kingroot resides on data. Perhaps it will work just can't authorize root.
Cheers!

Again, with the new one I got I couldn't root with the latest iRoot from the PC until pdanet was installed on the phone. Then it worked fine.
Without pdanet it will get temp root, then restart and when kingroot automatic root check runs it says no root and will try again and again in a loop.
With pdanet, temp root, reboot, and it's permanent root.
Just in case anyone is trying to root via this method.
Cheers!

You may be right... The first one i had i let kingoroot on the pc download and install some drivers. And i used pdanet awhile ago for a previous rca tab and never deleted the drivers, so maybe thats why it worked flawlessly the second time. If you have a custom recovery installed, which did you use and how'd you install it?

I tried the "magic" auto-build of CWM and TWRP, but neither one works because of the locked boot loader.
Which also makes me wonder if my backup would work on someone else's tab... The 7" RCA tab on here with the prerooted ROM works because they found another tablet which was the same and had an unlocked bootloader. At least that's what understood from it. I could be wrong though. I didn't read all 35 pages (or however many).
I'll try and double check that

any progress yet? ive been searching hi and lo for custom recoveries that work to no avail. i want to try and unlock the bootloader but im afraid i may screw somthing up if i cant restore a backup. i guess its a chance im willing to take if it furthers development on this tablet. i honestly want to rip lollipop off of here and run jb 4.2.2. personally i think thats the best version of android yet. at least with funcionality. and the fact you can just plug and play on that version is a plus for me!!! hope you come across something....

I'm planning to return mine. I started looking around at tablets in this price range and have decided to buy a Pipo M9S instead. The price is pretty close and it absolutely spanks this device in hardware specs.
I'm somewhat biased, because I have an Android tv device based on the RK3288 and I know how fast it is. The hardware video decoder is the best I've seen yet. Plus it is so nice not to have to deal with the locked bootloader.
I wanted an RK3288 based tablet before, but was put off by the $200-300 price range which I had seen on the Pipo P9 and the P1. Then just recently I found that I could get a p7 for ~150 and an M9S for ~$175, so I've decided that I would much rather go that way(M9S).
I will hang on to my backup of this device in case it will come in handy for anyone else in the future.

if you still have it, can you upload that stock image and the tools you have? or send them to me via email? ive done something terrible and i wish to go back to stock until i figure something else out. if you can do it via email, heres my [email protected]- thanks

How can I contribute
While I haven't had any issues with my DK on v1.9.1, I'm always interested in the latest and greatest Android ROM. I've got my fingers crossed for you on making restore images so you can get another ROM built on this. So, if I can contribute, even if it is paypal'ing $20 to pay toward a second tablet for you to work on, let me know.

David

Is anyone working on unlocking the bootloader of this device? Fastboot allows me to see the "press volume up key to unlock" screen using fastboot oem unlock, however it does not respond to volume keys. Being that I got that far could it possibly succeed if it didn't have to prompt for permission?

It's going to be really tough to try and crack it. The RCA 7" tablet here on xda that got an unlocked loader because they found out that there was a Cube branded tablet which was identical, except it had an unlocked boot loader.
RCA is not the actual manufacturer (I forget who is, but cpu-z will tell you I think). Perhaps if someone were to contact the manufacturer and find out which other companies they OEM that tablet hardware to. Then check them out for unlocked bootloaders.
I would be willing to bet that they may not reveal that info so easily, so try looking around for similar hardware.
I found on a benchmarking site that the RCA 10" which doesn't have the keyboard is also the same spec and model number as a model sold by gigabyte. I don't know the status of the bootloader, though. If you flash it you risk bricking your tablet.
MTK is pretty much the opposite of rockchip, who has made their devices nearly brick proof. MTK devices with locked bootloaders are very likely to brick because of the security measures built in, odd and often encrypted filesystems with specific hashes for certain partitions, write protection on the main system partions. It's really a massive pain in the neck. Those are the reasons why I decided to get rid of mine.
It's rooted and someone who doesn't want to build custom ROMs will be perfectly happy with it. Me, I want full access! Really the tablet is pretty nice. Just not if you want custom recovery, kennel, unofficial ROMs, etc.
I'm still looking. It's probably out there somewhere. I'll be sure to post if I see anything.
Cheers,

How do you know the bootloader is locked? I see walmart has cut the price on them, I haven't seen any rca tablets with bootloader locked.

[Completed] Kingroot works, SuperSU and Super-SUME don't...

Ok, I'm relatively new to Android and modern mobiles, but I've learned quite a bit already on my own, without much help from others.
The fact some communities provide little to no help is why I came to XDA, but I'm afraid I'm already disappointed about this particular issue.
Ok here it is: I'm not using a custom ROM, and I don't think I want to use one. I'm using the stock ROM, but I've rooted my device with Kingroot, which seems the only one that REALLY WORKS for any device. That's what makes me mad (I don't know if mad is the exact word, but.... I don't know how else to put it).
When I try to install SuperSU, it won't work because it can't update or install its own binaries. When I try the Super-SUME solution, it also doesn't work. In Super-SUME's case (which a friend thankfully helped me test most versions):
6.0 = successfully uninstalls Kingroot, but that's it;
6.2 = same as 6.0 and installs SuperSU, but that's it, nothing works, nor are the binaries updated/installed;
any other version above 6.2, including the latest one (9.2.3): hangs/freezes in "processing, please wait..." and does nothing.
And I don't know who programmed Super-SUME, but I think it's pretty bold on their part to charge for the app when it won't even work on people's devices, as noted above.
So, forgive my rant, but even though Kingroot is infamous (because it's Chinese perhaps ?), at least its devs are capable of successfully obtaining root on all devices, whereas SuperSU's and Super-SUME's devs make it impossible because of the binaries or just because their app hangs on "processing". If a team of devs can successfully root a device, why others cannot without making the user go through extra steps ?
As for these "extra steps", there's not one tutorial on the web (that I had come across at least) with a clear, step-by-step process to install SU's binaries, or to fix Super-SUME's hanging/freezing issues. So after rooting my device and getting rid of Kingroot, all I can work with is an unrooted device with most bloatware out of the way.
I just wish these other devs would go the extra mile and make their apps successfully obtain root without complications, just like Kingroot does. The complications just make their apps useless.
Thanks for hearing me, and maybe for helping me.

Hi and thank you for using XDA Assist
Kingroot is not always the best choice cause it's not fully compatible with every device.
But i suggest you to head over here

Thanks. Unfortunately, I have already tried this root solution in the past. It's the only one where I managed to get SuperSU to work, but... the phone will always boot up in recovery mode. So I gave up on this solution as well.

Root a Pro12 tablet ct9223w97

I picked up a 12.2 inch 2 in 1 Android tablet from Wal-Mart with a brand name of Pro12 with a model number of ct9223w97. It came with Android 6.0. I can boot into fastboot. Developer options are enabled. I have rooted many devices. I'm just waiting to see if the note 7 through T-Mobile is ever able to be rooted. I know a spring debug version is out but I'd rather wait. In the mean time I'd like to figure out a way to root the tablet. There is an app I use that I need root for.
Thank you so much in advance!

Ok I was mistaken. I somehow downloaded kingoroot. Now When I download kingroot and open it I get a white screen with the text KingRoot at the top. Any idea why? Thanks for any help you might have

I have the exact same device. Has anyone had any luck rooting it?

any luck getting this thing rooted?

I am very pleased to know that I am not the only person that wants to root this device. The main reason that I would like to root this tablet is to change the dpi and resolution. I have tried running Antutu Benchmark and King Root at the same time as this method has worked on previous android devices in the past but there was no success. For those that were not aware The Pro12 and the RCA Pro 12 are produced by the same Manufacture which I believe is Alco Electronics. The only difference between the two is that The Pro12 is 64GB and the RCA Pro 12 is 32Gb in storage capacity. Otherwise the form factor and hardware specifications are the exact same. The keyboards are interchangeable between the two. Where I am going with this is that if someone manages to root the RCA Pro 12 it should also work on this tablet so be on the lookout. There are some untested root methods I have been looking into but I am so busy. They have been posted below if anyone has the time to consider attempting a root. I feel confident about root method 3 since its focused on rooting Mediatek devices which is the processor make of this tablet.

I just got one of these also-wondering the same. Also, some random screen pops up sometimes, usually upon waking. It displays something to do with available ram. Any ideas how to ditch this, I can't find?

Did you install many apps that are running in the background?
I would honestly run factory reset or look into this task manager app.

I kept it lean, I don't think anything is running that didn't come with, but I'll check, and check that app. Thanks

I am very pleased to know that I am not the only person that wants to root this device. The main reason that I would like to root this tablet is to change the dpi and resolution. I have tried running Antutu Benchmark and King Root at the same time as this method has worked on previous android devices in the past but there was no success. For those that were not aware The Pro12 and the RCA Pro 12 are produced by the same Manufacture which I believe is Alco Electronics. The only difference between the two is that The Pro12 is 64GB and the RCA Pro 12 is 32Gb in storage capacity. Otherwise the form factor and hardware specifications are the exact same. The keyboards are interchangeable between the two. Where I am going with this is that if someone manages to root the RCA Pro 12 it should also work on this tablet so be on the lookout. There are some untested root methods I have been looking into but I am so busy. They have been posted below if anyone has the time to consider attempting a root. I feel confident about root method 3 since its focused on rooting Mediatek devices which is the processor make of this tablet.

I've tried all of these. Sadly, none of them work. I'm curious how hard it is to do this on my own. I would have no idea where to begin. Or can we request this somewhere?

There is a root that has been successful on this forum for the RCA Maven Pro. Maybe we can request for some help with this since its kinda similar and they have already developed a rom for it. They might have more experience.

Any luck here?

Hopefully this will bump the thread up. Still looking for root, any updates?

I am still trying. I was attempting to gain ADB access but was unable to get the drivers detected when connecting to the PC via USB. I have been on top of King Root and Kingo Root updates and still nothing. I even tried running benchmarks simultaneously running King Root which has worked in the past with other devices that use Mediatek hardware but I had no luck. Alcatel Fierce 2 Root " https://androidforums.com/threads/root-for-fierce-2.875644/page-45 ". Still searching for an exploit. I think our chance of cracking it is by USB to PC at this point. We need some working ADB Drivers. Im always so busy. Can someone try these and see if it detects the Pro 12.
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
The Site below list 5 PC applications to root by USB. We can try these once we have a working set of ADB drivers. If anyone knows of some more software we can try please post.

SRS *said* mine was rooted but it did not root. Never installed superuser. Got into it with ADB but can't unlock the bootloader due to the fact that the volume controls won't work to select anything.

404 error =(

How to root after updating to 6.0 OTA (6045O)

I recently updated to marshmallow, and am currently trying everything to root it. I have done everything from trying to unlock bootloader in fastboot, to using apps such as kingroot and framaroot.... to no avail... can anyone help? It would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!!

I know you can't really do anything using MM, but can anyone help me flash stock firmware on my device? (I AM USING LINUX!!) I tried running the windows programs with wine.... Did not work...

Dropped my previous 6045O, Cricket variant on its screen on a bunch of gravel and cracked the screen. Since I am a klutz, I had taken out the insurance/phone replacement with Asurion. Received my replacement, and discovered it was loaded with MM, only, as others have noted, the fastboot commands are not there....
I've tried all the methods folks have offered, and, apparently Cricket is in collusion with Alcatel not to make it merely difficult to root and administer (worked entirely too many tech-support gigs... the uninformed tend to screw things up even with documentation), but to make it, seemingly at present, impossible. I'm stuck, and none of the previous methods have worked. (and, yes, I've read every applicable thread I see... at this point, nothing seems to work to root the beast. Since the ability's there by default to shove the apps that will allow themselves to be shoved to my 32GB SD.... that gets rid of my need for Link2SD, until the gentleman, Bulent Akpinar, gets around to recognizing that Marshmallow's been out a while. (paid for the Plus, and completely unusable, even as a widget, with the new Cricket variant of 6.0.1
I've tried the ROOT .rar, our other gentleman's Suite, and the various methods, and at this point, I'm just kinda lost.

Nobody searches the forums anymore ,it has been discussed in depth in many threads, you need to downgrade using eluga switch firmware to get back unlocked bootloader n fastboot, then install TWRP and then you can pick whatever rom you like... If you want stock MM with TWRP use the marionettes v1 MM rom, you loose LTE after using Eluga so you need to fix that also I have posted this link several times read all the threads attached and you will get there

Actually I did search before posting my comment, and I have the Eluga executable... after expanding it and trying to do the deed, it doesn't see the phone... I've got the OEM unlocking enabled in the Dev. options on my device...
I admit, though, I may not be doing something correctly, and will try it again.
--- edit ---
Silly me... didn't remember I had to have the phone off... for that matter, since it was a while ago that I rooted the previous one, and that it was running Lollipop 5.0.2, I didn't have to jump through as many hoops as with 6.0.1... Alcatel and Cricket don't make it impossible to do with this phone, as Cricket seems to specify with the ZTE device, and the LG Stylo... Just difficult, but not impossible. Working on it as we speak, and will respond in a bit.
BTW... was a little snarky that no one reads the columns... I obviously missed a few things, but I have read... just sayin'...

Is the phone off? You must have phone off so it can go into download mode.

Been referring to Alek Dev's (and others') instructions, have booted into the Panasonic rom, in the process of erasing, and will flash the rest going forward.
Thanks for the links, and I admit a "Doh!" about how to go into download mode... a few devices I'm kinda maintaining around here, and each seems to have a different button process to get there.
Thanks again, and I think I've got it from this point (with multiple tabs up in my browser for reference, of course...)

Sorry, if I seemed rude, been dealing with a few foster children, who want to push every button I have, lol teens.... was just in vent mode I guess....

No need to downgrade to LP, use Alcatel Flasher to flash twrp
Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-sahara-firehose-test-alcatel-t3454855
install twrp and roo with supersu.zip. That all.

Isn't that still in beta status as test only? The dev has discontinued development?? I have never tried it as I believed it was just still conceptual... I will look into it further..... Was flashing ever implemented??

No, it's not a test, it work. You can read/write boot and recovery on 6039, 6045 and 6055 for all variants
Look at new howto made by decker.su: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-4s/help/howto-idol-4-6055-installing-twrp-t3486077
You Just have to choose "6045" in the app and twrp recovery for 6045

I used the Panasonic eluga software lol.... That program didn't work for me at all...
