Cyanogenmod has Root packed with it, no need to root the device again after flashing Cyanogenmod.
You could try to do a full wipe and re-flash it again to avoid problems with root in the future, also after flashing test root with a app on the Play store, just type in Root checker and you will find some that works.

hi people,
i am on firmware 800d20y, just bought the d800 today. i did the 'brute force' method, which initially worked, but after a short while, i lost root access. I literally have no idea what happened, the stump root app still says 'device is rooted', but the root checker app says i don't have root access. I tried a couple of different apps to check for root access, and all show that I do NOT have root access.
any help, ANY at all to get root would help immensely! I'm trying to get a custom recovery (prob twrp) so i can flash a cm12 nightly rom...
im still a little new to this, any help would be appreciated!

i did, and it even worked (it showed 'rooted' on the download mode on the g2), and when i checked on the phone, it had supersu on it. BUT, supersu failed to update its binaries.... and root checker still said i was NOT rooted.
i am considering putting a stock rom on it to 20c (the update before 20y) using LG Flash tools. any links/suggestions would help!
thanks
I guess you have done permanent unroot under super su app in the past. If so then you have to flash stock tot again.

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!

I have a ZTE ZTEX2 model Z955A, by mistake, I installed a customized recovery of another model and now I can not access the recovery mode, the black screen remains and I have to restart so that the cell phone can restart, can you help me to restore the original recovery?
Does anybody know if there are any decent ROM ports available for this phone? Custom recovery? I can't even manage to root it.
The stock 5.1 ROM is terrible. So is the battery life, incidentally.
Thanks in advance.
Got root no ROM
Hi there, I have just managed to root my 5022x with kingoapp and then I uninstalled kingoapp and installed SuperSU (because I don't trust kingo enough to keep it on my phone) and now I'm rooted. However I still haven't found any ROMs
Hope you find one.

Hi there,
Sorry I'm late.
Anyway all I did was I uninstalled the permissions manager installed by kingoapp and I uninstalled kingoapp.
Then, I downloaded SuperSu from the play store and then opened it. After that it will say "binary update required" or something along those lines.
All you have to do is click on the normal method.
Anyway I hope it works out for you.
NN.
