Like many other threads I have browsed through, I too am having issues with King Root rooting and then suddenly rebooting my phone. After a successful reboot in the midst of not even 30% complete of rooting being complete, it still says my phone is rooted until the reboot occurs. After the reboot, it says I am not rooted. So, I still assume that King Root still has no methods to root this model yet. However, I am dealing with two issues I was hoping to get someone with experience, expertise, or just very smart with rooting Android platforms.
1. I was wondering if there is a way to root this model whether it can be done with with or without a computer or laptop. King Root has now become a system application that I can't remove because I don't have root access. I've tried everything to get rid of it. It constantly on a daily basis notifies me that it's trying to or that I need to try to gain root access. I would not have any issue reverting back to original firmware as hard reset has done nothing.
2. Is there a different firmware (I prefer the most recent update) available for this model? I could live with reverting back to the original firmware when I bought the phone in July 2016 from Cricket Wireless. I am not able due to the hardware or software thinking I'm rooted or suspicious of rooting so the update won't process after downloading.
This is my first post. Sorry, if I seem like a newbie here. I just haven't found any relevant answers on Google or searching the forums for similar posts. If there is a way to root successfully, please provide links or some instructions on how to do so. If not, I hope someone can help me revert my firmware to the newest or factory bought. Anything to just get rid of King Root and I know and have already accomplished disabling KR for the time being despite doing hard reset twice already. Is it possible to replace firmware with a new ROM as well?
Thanks for your time and God bless.

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

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.
Well to start this off, many thanks to those of you have helped the community in any way, and those of you who have made exploits, mods, and other useful utilities for the use and greater good of technology. If this isn't in the right place, or has already been listed elsewhere, let me make my apologies now. And please by all means relocate it to another place if it is necessary.
To be honest I have searched the web using google and XDA and all other sources confirmed to be good in my future travels of modding and rooting devices. And I was unable to find any information on being able to root this device since the new update. So for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a little brief history (and why updates are made typically.)
~There was a new update that made this 4.1.2 Jellybean SGS3 variant phone into a newer number from ".....MH1" to ".....NH2" respectively.
~Patches, updates, and other similar software add-ons are used for patching exploits, security flaws, and other potentially harmful things as well as bugs.
~This system update obviously was made to patch this phone and keep it from being rooted.
So, a client came to me and asked me to root his device and I googled for hours as he waited patiently and calm as I had ever seen any client of mine. I told him that this was odd and he agreed as he tried googling and tried using Cydia Impactor and was unsuccessful himself. At this point I was unsure of what to do. So naturally I decided we should downgrade his device to an earlier version. We checked and there was only one earlier version for this device at sam mobile. I take no credit for doing this. Just something I found out. Unless of course it isn't already known in which case, I will gladly accept all credit.
******And as usual with posts as such, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT ANYONE DOES TO ANY DEVICE AFTER READING THIS. This is just a walkthrough of what I did to fix the issue. And as usual TAKE VERY SPECIAL CARE TO MATCH UP MODEL NUMBERS BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING !!!******
Before this update I kept getting an error regarding the exploits not functioning as I can reboot the phone using Cydia Impactor but not root it successfully.
Steps to fixing the not being able to root on Impactor:
I followed the steps at this guide -----> http://androidbiits.com/samsung-gal...ndroid-4-1-2-jelly-bean-uduamh1-s968cuduamh1/ to downgrade the system to ".....MH1" so that the root would work using the exploits used by Cydia Impactor.
Then after the update finished and the phone returned to the home screen, you should be able to close odin and use Cydia Impactor to root it afterwards.
Then install SuperSU from the android market and let it update to be rooted.
Hope that helped someone out there, and usually there are so many answers out there for problems I don't need to help. But I felt the need to do so. By all means please if I did help you, be kind enough to smack that thanks button upside the border on your way to success! Good day.
Hello,
I've been trying to root my note edge for two days with no luck, I read a lot of guides and how tos but I end up with the two problem (either the phone keeps restarting, or it freezes at the android logo.
I would like to root my stock firmware, I don't want any custom rom or anything custom. please forgive me if I have said something that might not sound right, I am just a beginner meaning this is my first time rooting a device.
If someone could please take the time to guide me through the process to root my device and include the links for everything that needs to be downloaded.

I have a Droid Mini with Android 4.4.4 from Verizon. Years ago I successfully rooted a cheap tablet running Android 4.4.2. After that I tried to root my phone and failed. I tried everything I could find. At the time, the system was new, so I decided to just wait.
Fast forward a few years, and Android 8.0 is here. Once again I attempted to root my phone, because there has to be something that works now. Once again everything I tried didn't work.
Is there really no way to root 4.4.4? Have people really stopped trying to root phones?
It is highly possible that there may not yet exist a guide but the device may be rootable.
Please consider posting details to what you have tried, as this can build a road to success.
If feeling adventurous I recommend being a digital pioneer for your tablet. Please give these methods a go.
If a developer never gets a device or someone roots the device but doesn't post the solution a guide may not yet exist. Remember that each device is "poked" and "tested" individually. The pains of trying everything may pave the road to discovery. Developers know these pains. Most developers only make guides available once they can reproduce the root safely and consistently. Warnings still exist for rooting as it is not possible to test every make/model/version/revision.
If you are successful consider posting a guide for other users on the forums.
First of all I need to preface this by saying I know nothing about rooting.
I have a Nokia 3, Model TA-1020, Android version 8.0.0 (which apparently is Oreo, even though I got this phone as a Nougat) and Android Security patch level May 5, 2018.
From all the research I attempted to do regarding rooting a Nokia 3, most times it would be for a specific model (which apparently is important) but never TA-1020 (the one I have).
So it makes me wonder if I can root my phone. I don't want to do anything serious, just to basically give root access to a couple of apps (from what I understand).
Any guidance would be helpful if it is possible.

There is already a thread and tutorial on XDA for rooting the nokia 3 (TA1020 and TA1032) on Nougat 7.1.1 and Oreo 8.0.0
Here is the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-t3785768
The important stuff......
You have received an android 8.0 update - so your device is an Oreo device.
It does not matter what was on the device when you purchased it - for future reference, just quote your current android version - Never quote previous versions or what was on the device when you brought it, as I can guarantee someone will see NOUGAT in your post and assume you have a Nougat device.
(Things like that cause all sorts of confusion and issues here that if you was to follow the incorrect instructions you would brick your device and render it unusable)
I'm also using a Nokia 3 TA1020 on Oreo (8.0.0)
After reading the rooting thread I've decided not to proceed with rooting my own Nokia 3.
As the procedure isn't very clear and it seems many users have had issues afterwards.
If you know NOTHING about rooting I suggest you also stay well clear of trying to root your nokia 3 - it's a very complicated process that even I'm not confident enough to try - and believe me Ive rooted many devices in the past!
With the Nokia, it's not a case of flashing a file in a custom recovery to gain root - there are several things you must do using a PC and complicated button combinations and perfect timing.
You get any of this wrong or miss a step you have a rather useless paperweight rather than a Nokia phone and trying to root will invalidate and void any remaining warranty your device may have left.
Ask yourself why you need root?
If you root your device, you have to keep the system recovery as if you flash a custom recovery you won't receive any system updates.
Also if you do keep your system recovery and receive a system updates you have to go through the process of rooting all over again and system updates can then fail, as confirmed by users in the other thread......
Newer android versions (8.1 and 9.0) will also block some of things users get round using substratum and xposed.
These apps will be almost useless in android 9.0 because Google is taking away the ability for rooted devices to change system UIs and draw over any apps.
Most xposed modules will be obsolete.
Obviously what you do is your own choice, I'm just saying it's not for me and I really don't want to try.
There isn't not any real benefit from having a rooted device these days, especially on this device which looks so difficult to get rooted.
Obviously you don't have to take my word for it, just look at all the posts in the thread I've linked to you above of users who tried the rooting process and missed a step or didn't follow correct instructions or even in one case followed instructions for the wrong android version and wrong device and have now bricked their device and rendered it unusable.
In my opinion it's just not worth it as the risks involved outweigh any real benefit gained.
Regards
@bubba1601 one slight modification to your post, rooting won't stop you from receiving system updates - as long as you still have your stock recovery. That said I agree with you on everything else especially the fact that it's a lot of hassle. Even after you have rooted your phone, once you install an update you have to go through the whole process of rooting over again. Half the time, my system update fails. If you're not familiar with the process it can really be daunting

Thank you for correcting me @redweaver.
I've edited my comments accordingly!
After reading the linked post It really doesn't give me any confidence to try it and I personally see no benefit from doing it.

Thanks you both for all the advice you've given me and I want to ask 1 more thing:
If I mess up something during the rooting process, is my phone forever a brick or can I fix it with a factory reset of some kind ?
Because even if I can't fix it, I am still willing to give it a try since:
I got this phone for free. (literally $0, not that someone gifted it to me).
This is my secondary phone (I have a Windows Phone as my main).
I have sent this phone for repairs at least 4 times and it took 3 weeks to get it back each time and the problems return every time.
I have factory reset it 5 times so one more isn't going to be a problem.
It still has problems.
I am not really a phone person and only use it when I am outside of my house (something that doesn't happen often) and only for games.
So my biggest concern is if it is possible to reset my phone after not following an instruction properly. But even that isn't really going to stop as long as it is possible to root my phone since I had the impression that only certain models could get rooted so far.

Yes it's possible to restore the phone if something goes wrong, but not via the traditional factory reset proceedure.
I understand resetting if flashing goes wrong involves using PC software called "SP flash tool" to flash some system files.
This isn't done inside android from the phone, it's done with your Nokia plugged into a PC in fastboot / download mode, again, I'm not sure of this part and that's
the bit I'm not really understanding and why I'm very reluctant to do it.
As I said, the choice is yours, but bear in mind the author of the rooting thread has now moved to another device so will not be supporting the Nokia 3 or the Nokia 3 rooting thread.
Is nokia 3 TA-1020 ROOTABLE
