Just got one of these and framaroot 1.9.3 worked fine, using the 3rd option to root, Barahir exploit iirc.

I think farmaroot isn't working with KitKat, use Kingo Root instead

Already tried Kingo Root . .. Seems like it is not possible to root this phone after the KitKat upgrade... When was running Jellybean on this phone , i was able to root it using Framaroot, but not anymore ... ZTE is evil LOL, now i can't change the bootloader and rom either :crying:

How to root zte blade l2 that has been updated to kitkat
Hi guys, I recently got a ZTE Blade L2 its a nice device but it has only 4GB of internal memory and as you know a portion is used for system apps and such. This made it really annoying when installing apps to this device. It was made even more annoying by the fact that my specific carrier had upgraded the device to android kitkat 4.4.2. Write access to a user's SD was not permitted in android KitKat, this made having this device absolutely maddening for a heavy app user such as myself I couldn't even install the social network apps I liked to use.
I scoured the internet, forums, blogs in all sorts of languages and tried several methods to root this device but to no avail. Apparently when you upgrade to kitkat, rooting this device becomes a total pain in the nether regions.
Anyway just tonight I found an app that successfully rooted my device and its easy as one two three.
You simply install the app
You tap root and wait
It will ask for permission to install the kinguser app, you allow it
And then poof you're rooted
Trust me it works.
The app is called Kingroot.
NOT KINGOROOT which is totally different.
Here's. Link, just tap the first one on the page to download the apk.
The page is in Chinese but its way easy to understand.
Best of luck.
Now you're on your way to circumventing those pesky limitations that this device has.
Link to Kingroot apk:

towelroot schi705

So i used Towelroot On my SCH-I705 - VRBMI1 on 4.1.2 - Stock Official Root Achieved Su installed and confirmed by Root checker, Just Thought Id Share!!
(Side note: Shout Out to @shakatu For Helping Find Stock Firmware!)

Can you please mention any specific threads or write ups that you used? Thanks.

Just go here: https://towelroot.com/
Tap the lambda, install the .apk, then "make it rain"! After that, download SuperSU from the app store. Run that. Afterward, download Rootchecker from the app store to confirm root.
It's nice to have root on this device, but it seems ROM development is dead. Mainly due to the locked bootloader. This device is becoming a fancy paperweight more than anything else, sadly.

Sadly most verizon devices are slowly becoming dead as far as rom development. Thankfully I have the WiFi version 3113 and don't have a locked bootloader

[Q] SM-T530NU not full root help

It's the 10.1 inch
I just rooted my tablet today and gained su.
I can give apps su. I get the give su prompt box.
I used the Odin method from this site by chainfire.
Now I managed to kill knox. I closed and un-installed all 6 knox stuff with titanium backup. I did create a back up file for all of them but I don't think you can restore them.
I need busy box for some of my root apps to function because I need the killall.
For some reason busy box gets error message saying there might be a problem with my root.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the SM-T530NU rooted using the Odin/chainfire method (I assume you're referring to the Play Store busybox app). The problem went away for me when I installed and ran Root Browser, which installs components of busybox on its own. After installing and running root browser once (follow the setup prompts), and then rebooting the tablet, I was able to run the original busybox installer app with no issues. No idea if this'll work for you but since it was the exact same set of circumstances, hopefully it will.

With custom recoveries available, cf autorooot isn't really needed.
At some point you are going to trip knox. But if you have successfully disabled knox, go ahead and flash
a custom recovery. Then flash chainfire's latest supersu update zip. Then find your busybkox install via market
or a custom binary.
If custom binary, push it to /system/xbin, then open terminal and su, then
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
reboot

Settings > General > About Device tell me your Model number (e.g. mine is SM-T530NU) and I can tell you if it can be rooted. IF AND ONLY IF you have the same model number as mine, SM-T530NU (and by extension the one in the OP, the one in the title) this method will root your tablet BUT it will also trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty.

SM-T530NU is mine. That's what you needed right?
Now will I be able to unroot my device to play a game that won't run if I'm rooted?
Or is there a way I can run it and still keep my root?
I used the chainfires way of rooting and I just did the superuser unroot.
I went to the Samsung website and got the stock file for my device which is like 1.2 or so gb.
Can I put that back on my device and then wouldn't I be completely unrooted?
Also I used titanium backup to remove all the knox files while I had root.
Will this be a problem when I flash over my Samsung file I downloaded from the Samsung site?
I want to have full root but still be able to play this game ragnarok. Can it be done? Oh and using that lame hide my root from the Google play store didn't work. I hide the su binary and removed the suapp and it didn't work.

This will root your tablet BUT it will ALSO VOID YOUR WARRANTY

And what about my other questions? Can I hide the fact I have root? How?
What about if I want to unroot it? Will it be fully unrooted? How?
What if after I root it and then unroot it, can I root it another time? How and will it cause problems?
Is there a program like macro touch that I can use without root?
I feel that my questions are very simple and straightforward could someone answer them?
Someone that had actually done it and not just someone that thinks they know what their talking about.

Jesus Christ dude are you illiterate I was providing a link to the other guy to root his tablet. But yes please, get me banned. Sic the internet police on me for all I care. You want your answers questioned? There are two invaluable tools just waiting to help you find your answers. They're called the xda search button, and google. You're a human being living in an age where we have the most immediate access to just about any information imaginable. I have around a dozen devices all rooted using a variety of methods and I am able to install and run any program on any one that I darn well please. If you're really going to tool around and hem and haw about a bunch of apps I don't know that I can help you.
You have the SM-T530NU? Fine, this is a surefire way to root your tablet. HOWEVER, in doing so you will trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If you don't understand that sentence, I revisit my earlier point of READ. Learn on your own, that's what I've done. But stop coming at me with your confrontational language, especially coming from a position of such a persistent insufficiency in knowledge and a lack of the motivation to rectify that shortcoming on your own.

You can unroot in SuperSU. It's an option called "unroot"
Yes it will be unrooted. Or you can just reflash system firmware.
I don't foresee any problems with rooting, unrooting, and then even re-rooting your tablet but even so if problems arose (which they probably wouldn't) there are ways to wipe/reset the tablet.
I don't know what macro touch is. Use google, the play store, xda, etc. to search for apps.
Yes maybe he shouldn't've asked his question here. Don't jump down my throat for answering it. I can read perfectly fine, I do it more than most and have been blessed with 20-15 vision.

Galaxy S5 NEO SM-G903F user thread.

Hi All!
I didn't see any thread yet for this phone, the Samsung Galaxy s5 NEO (SM-G903F).
Here you can share your experience and tips and tricks.
Unfortunately I didn't see any root for this phone, as well the custom roms aren't there.
So if you have a trick to root it, let it know in this topic!
I have this phone since last Saturday, till now I'm happy with the phone. I installed nova laucher on it, because it works better.
Can't wait to install a custom rom on it, with stock android.

Is this maybe something that can help? Also a Exynos processor.

Someone posted request on Chainfire`s SuperSU thread, maybe he will notice

Step 1. Go into settings and enable installation of apps from unknown sources(settings>security>tick unknown sources)
Step 2. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and tap the brown lambda symbol to download towelroot app
Step 3. After download completes open the file, the android package installer will appear, press install
Step 4. Open the Towelroot app and press the "make it ra1n" button
Step 5. Enjoy your rooted S5

Last time I checked towelroot didn't do the S5 Neo... has this changed?
--EDIT-- Checked... it still does NOT support the S5 Neo.

Towelroot won't work for 2 reasons: its made for Snapdragon CPUs and it was only could be used on older versions of Android (KitKat).

hopefully we will get a alternative rom and root soon!

I've checked last week towel root and I confirm too that it does not work. Later I'm going to post here 2 pages that show how to root it but 1 one of them at least, I think is something like a fake because I don't trust pages requiring to complete surveys for files downloads...
The other one shows other methods but I tried some of them without success....
Maybe someone can do it.
By now my new s5 neo continue waiting for a root working method....
I've too much apps that need root access like titanium backup or xposed for example, and without all of them, my I9100 with resurrection remix last rom is by y now still being a better useful phone than s5 neo

I was on these sites as well, they're look kinda shady. Because you have several sites with different names, but the same lay-outs.
I don't trust these sites.
Maybe it's an idea to spam Chainfire's his topic? Because someone already asked to make a root for the s5 NEO in there.

drippydh said:

DO NOT - repeat - DO NOT go on that survey site publishing an alleged S5 Neo root: it is a scammer.
I already confronted him directly, he also posted a video where he shows that he can download the APK file after submitting a couple of surveys but it is fake.
He's the only one claiming to have a rooting method (isn't it strange? and so soon?) and when confronted directly about his peculiar way of allowing download he hides away... DO NOT trust that, he has NO ROOT whatsoever, just a bunch of ads to make easy money.

If you try the newest version it will say that there is no means to root. And you can request for them to research it like i believe 30 have done this according to the app. The more people who do this the more they'll think people actually want this.

Issues in unlocking Bootloader of Zuk Z1
hi guys,
I am trying to unlock Bootloader of my phone. After the first command given in your website, the response is ''Device <null> not found" or something like that. There was another link in comment section referring the same problem. That link said something about unlocking bootloader of 'untouched phone'. After the first command of that link, the response is '(waiting for device)' . There is no other response. Please help me root my phone. It is much appreciated if you guys give me step wise process (along with respective download links). I am a first timer.

If MIUI doesn't come pre rooted you can do it with supersu. The all in one tool isn't designed to root roms. It is for unlocking the bootloader and install custom recovery in first.
As you have already MIUI installed, then you have already unlocked your bootloader, installed a custom recovery and a custom rom.
Do you really know what "rooting" means? It's only giving more user privileges over the standard ones to obtain deeper access to the system to modify things for example.

so, after i unlock the bootloader, shall I follow the steps in this link? https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/general/guide-how-to-unlock-root-install-twrp-t3394037

1st before all: read again the pros and cons of unlocking bootloader and read the instructions twice before doing anything. Your alone responsible for your doing!
1st: you have Cyanogen OS 12.1 installed, that's not the same as cyanogenmod. That's just for information
2nd You don't understand what rooting means. Please read again.
3rd Yes you can follow the steps from the link until step 6. After that you can flash a custom rom which is in most cases rooted.
