If you use the method described in the thread DON'T flash the SuperSu zip mentioned until you delete Kingoroot s 'superuser'.
I did this and bricked my phone for about 10 days until I could manage to keep the system running long enough to get rid of all the KingCrap from it.
Better yet NEVER USE KINGOROOT FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT AS A LAST RESORT
I've spent many hours fixing the damage it can do to a system.
Recommendation?

Hi, Steven
As a new forum user, what do you recommend to use to root my phone instead? I have just done this and am having a terrible time with it! I can't move any of the bloatware or anything yet.
Thanks in advance,
Dr Cheryl

Did you replace the Kinguser (it might be called something a bit different like Superuser) with SuperSu or another SU? That is the first step to get out of the Kingroot trap.

As probably to be expected with this website, yet another complete failure.
Absolutely NOTHING will ever root an N817. Why are people still pushing the obvious lie??
15 attempts. ALL resulted in "root failed".
If you do not know what you are talking about, try NOT posting suggestions because they all lead to the exact same non-functional outcome.
Tried literally everything. All steps posted throughout the internet. NONE of them actually function as advertised.
I am sick of the lies. It is clear that no one on this site actually knows what they are talking about.
The "apps" suggested on this site, along with dr.fone, and even the debloater apps are ALL non-functional.
What is it going to take to stop the lies????
Face it. The N817 can not be rooted nor cleaned up. It is the sole intention of ZTE.
When you call ZTE and navigate past their red tape, you find out the truth.
The device will never allow ANY user access over the device.
STOP the lies and remove this entire topic already.
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------
Well, you asked for it. NONE of these suggestions, and NONE of the other suggestions this site has offered works in any way what so ever.
"root failed" is the only outcome for everything this site has claimed.
The N817 can NOT be rooted, nor debloated. ALL N817's are blocked. Meaning that there is no possible way to clean up nor root them. ZTE will tell everyone the same if they bother to investigate the claims made by users of this site.
I have tried everything this site has stated numerous times. The only result possible is "root failed" or device not recognized.

360root works, but you will lose root if you restart/reboot your system.

I also ran 360root but I tried to run Root Checker and System App Safe Remover and neither worked. Root Checker didn't even pull up the prompt, yet SASR brought the prompt up but still wouldn't remove system apps. Any thoughts from anyone? When I ran kingoroot it brought the menu up at 70% and restarted and nothing changed. I'd like to remove the bloatware not just disable it.
I have searched countless forums and have tried kingroot, kingoroot, 360, the PC version of kingo, I have tried adb root exploits. I have tried fastboot (I have never been able to type "fastboot devices" and receive recognition) I have downloaded Qualcomm drivers, adb drivers, zte drivers. I have used the software for flashing zte devices which failed when I tried to flash. I have enabled developer options and ticked OEM unlocking and USB debugging. The device I am referencing is the ZTE sapphire from qlink. MODEL# Z3001S. If anyone knows a method I'm all ears and would greatly appreciate some help here
Ive got root before on this device. Helped me girlfriends mom out.

That's if you want to change SU. I installed the ping-pong .apk, installed su like it says, download loaded data then asked for root. It reboot on it's own the first time with no root. Tried again and it worked like a charm.

That is for SuperSU. In the new beta 5.1, SuperSu is in there.
So what does everyone plan to do with root aside from nuke apps? I'm hoping someone can do some fun things for the edge: does anyone know people working on it??

This will likely never happen. You need an unlocked bootloader for a custom recovery like TWRP. As far as I know, the last VZW Samsung devices with unlocked bootloaders were the GS3 and Note 2.
With that being said, utilities like safestrap allows users to run custom roms/etc on locked bootloaders provided there's root access. I'm sure something like this is already in the works.

Anyone else getting random reboots after rooting? Not a lot, but I'm getting at least one or two a day since using this root method.
Does anyone have a list or a link to a list that we can refer to for removing/cleaning bloatware that comes with stock Sprint LG G4?
I've tried bloatware tool but that doesn't remove anything, it simply hides it so its not visible.

Seconded, we should have a community list of apps that are safe to remove from the Sprint version of the G4 without breaking anything vital, now that we have root. OP if you haven't, I'd suggest you go and root your sprint G4.

Debloating tool is obsolete if you have root because you can directly freeze or even uninstall unwanted apps with root apps like Titanium Backup. There was a list floating around somewhere of apps to use the debloating tool on, but now that we have root I'd rather see someone compile a list of apps or apks safe to completely uninstall.

@elsamuraiguapo quick question. I have Titanium used it on my Nexus 5 and I suppose I got spoiled not having bloatware. I'm kind of fuzzy on the freeze option in Titanium since I've never needed it. What does it do? I know you can uninstall apps with it even though I never needed to.
Waiting till tomorrow to root this phone! I can't live without root!

Is this post what your are talking about?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
I've been spoiled so far having a Nexus devices. Had Wug Fresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. Everything was a breeze. So if you'd be as so kind to tell me what KDZ/TOT is. I've see that acronym quite a bit the past couple of days.
Using Titanium I would more likely freeze rather than remove. I don't see how that could soft brick the phone. Mind you I'm no expert so try to understand my ignorance in the matter.
So is this just a matter of the phone being really new and if I just sit on it for a few more months rooting and recover may change?
I just saw that URL you left about the Debloater. I'll have to check that out.

Yes that's the post about KDZ, and Basically KDZ/TOT lets you re-flash your phone back to stock like you just bought the phone from the store.
And evening freezing them may cause an issue, not 100% sure haven't been able to play with it much lol. Because yes the phone is so new, not a lot of development going on.
Hey guys,
Recently, I have been trying to re-root my LG G2 VS980 that was returned to lollipop stock (LG Firmware). However, all the tools I knew that previously worked, (Ioroot, Towelroot, Stumproot, Kingoroot, etc..) did not work. After months of testing, I finally found one app that currently works called KingRoot.
As far as I know, it is the only root method that acutally still works after LG patched most of the exploits so I thought I would share the info with you guys in case some of you are still interested in rooting your G2.
Instructions:
1. Install Kingroot: http://kingroot.net/ (the APK doesn't work for the G2)
2. Go to settings in your phone and click the build number 7-10 times to enable Developer Options
3. Go to Developer Options and enable USB Debugging
4. plug the phone into your computer and launch the program. Make sure you see the USB Debugging card that will pop up on your phone.
Launch the program and allow the program to root your phone.
Sidenote: The only downside to the app is it is all in Korean but it is very easy to tell what it is asking due to excellent pictures
After you receive root, download the app RootChecker just to make sure.
To Install TWRP:
1. Instructions: Go to Play Store and type in the search window, "AUTOREC".
2. Select the correct variant: ex. VS980=Verizon etc...
3. Install the app.
4. Watch TWRP Install on your phone.
5. Reward yourself on your hard work with a pat on the back.
So that's it; A fast easy, and trouble free method on getting root and installing TWRP
Thanks for this. I recently acquired a G2, and will be trying this out tonight.

No problem. Have fun with your custom ROM of choice.
Can you share the setup files? I also need to re-root my Verizon phone. The kingroot ownload links looks dead
i downlaoded it from here. I have usb dev enabled. now what? http://kingroot-pc.en.uptodown.com/download
Stuck on that step. I know its telling me to enable USB debuggin which I have, it doens' do anythong when I click Go in Korean
I managed to enable debugging mode which was by setting the 'USB Type" on the phone to "Internet -> Ethernet"
But Kingroot isn't managing to root the phone. It goes 100 percent and nothing.
Ioroot managed to get the phone into the reboot phase but the phone no longer processed the splash screen of the recover/bootloader. The splash screen which has the android mascot on its back with abdomen open.
"LG G2 One lick Tool" makes the phone go to "download mode" but its stuck at 0 percent. I disconnect and replug in hope of kickstarting it, doesn't work.
What can I do now?

No idea. I was on a downgraded stock ROM, VS980_27A or was it VS980_24A. Can't remember; 4.4.2
Whatever it was, none of the popular rooting method was working. They were managing to do 'semi root' as in root message was displayed in "hard reset mode" and in 'download mode' but there was no root when the OS fully booted. The 'stock recovery' was also corrupted as in it showed a dead android with red exclamation mark. From the searching I did, people were saying there was no recovery installed so I needed one but I could not install. No stock recovery means no 'adb'.
Stump root gave 'complete' root. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Will this work if I am on the 39aa update from Verizon? I am skeptical about this because this is my only phone and don't need to mess it up.

i want to root to enable the multi user option by updating the build.prop file, i've been able to connect with ADB but the device isn't visible in windows or mac (tried both) when you reboot into boot loader, in fact it doesn't appear to boot into boot loader it just seems to power off (when using ADB reboot command or choosing boot loader from the recovery menu) so i wonder if its locked out somehow??
Need it too. Did anyone find a way to root B1-850?
Thanks!

I too just purchased a B1-850 tablet, but I've figured out how to root it. Really quite simple. Just use Kingroot:
1.) Navigate to https://kingroot.net/ from your tablet
2.) Download the APK for android
3.) Install said APK (this requires you to have allowed installation from unkown sources in the "Security" panel of the settings menu)
4.) Load up the app and follow its instructions
5.) Reboot and try it out
For good measure, I would also unlock the "Developer Options" panel and allow USB debugging (adb access) and such; I did this before proceeding. You'll have to search for instructions on that yourself, its well documented.
This all worked for me this morning! Really looking forward to unlocking the potential of this cheapy tablet.
Kingroot worked first try, just swap their super user program with supersu. I am having trouble installing the xposed framework though if anyone has any tips.
I was able to root, now I need to install a custom recovery. CWM says this model is not in the supported list. Has anyone been able to install a recovery? I need NANDROID backup functionality.
I made a thread walking you through how to do it on this tablet in the guides area but just use flash fire for recovery and xposed install
Did the B1-850 hardware updated in anyway? I was able to root it in June 2016, but after a screen repair and factory reset and fresh rom from acer, king root and all others can't work. I'm stuck without any root options. Any idea?
Same here

There was recently new firmware released for this tablet (08/24/16, Build #: AV0L0.RV09RC04.WW.GEN1), and a handful of updates (08/25/16, 08/26/16) from Acer. I have this same tablet, and I'm unable to root after flashing to the firmware released on the 24th, and latest firmware (Build #: AV0L0.RV0BRC02.WW.GEN1) as well. Hopefully someone can find a fix, as the few different methods I've attempted simply will not work with the latest firmware from Acer.
On KingRoot Please click submit search if enough people do they will find a root until then just hold tight.

I have done this a bunch, sadly still no love. It's annoying me not being able to root a relatively cheaper tablet, as these tend to get rooted first since they get in more people's hands faster. Oh well, just have to have patience.
Thanks, I was having problems, two different rooters failed and I wondered if it was the recent software update! The image version on my B1-850 is the same as you have quoted! Please post if you find a solution, some apps that need deleting are annoying.

Which recovery do you install with flash fire; I don't see a link to it in your other thread?
Success!
The latest release of KingRoot is able to root the latest firmware for this tablet. I saw there was a new release of KingRoot back on the 23rd, and it's working as it should. I grabbed the working version here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21707
hi guys. any idea how to recover b1-850 from bootloop?
I no its a little late but i rooted mine with the kingoroot one click root apk. Ive installed xposed framework and customized like crazy everything from fonts to boot animation. Cant find a custom recovery tho.
I cannot root it with any of the tools I have tried (Kingo ROOT, KingRoot, etc). Anyone know any method that works?
Acer B1-850. Is this device even rootable?
This device has made an idiot of me. If I can be of any assistance finding a root exploit for this device let me know. I will gladly write a detailed procedure of the process. I made the mistake of assuming since it was an entry level, inexpensive device, the path to root would be simple. Three months later none of the common "one-click" programs has found an exploit. I have a copy of stock rom for recovery so testing is not a problem for me. It's a matter of pride at this point. So much so I found one on sale for $60 and bought it just for this purpose. I have followed every link I can find associated with this device to a dead end. Any help will be appreciated.

Same here, still no root for me. Usually these cheapo tablets are not as locked down.
Still waiting!?
I have given up getting assistance from xda on this device. Its as political here as anywhere else. I don't drive a Samsung so nobody wants to help with root. I've heard every excuse from locked bootloader (unlockable in dev options) to what one dev actually told me,"There's little interest in spending energy on an inexpensive device." I understand, but why misrepresent the site by implying all android devices are treated the same? Hell on the Iconia One 8 thread, it says that the B1-850 does not have a MTK SoC, but instead has an Intel Atom chip. Then they send you to another thread where, of course, there is no B1-850 listed! That's because it uses a MTK8163 SoC. In both tablets.
I've spent the last couple of days looking for a way to root, but I've come up empty. Apparently not many people own this tablet, even though it's sold at Verizon?
The model number is SM-T567V
If anyone knows of a way to root it, or some alternative method that worked for them, nothing is too crazy at this point, lol.

No chance, it's a bootloader locked device.
Kingroot or kingOroot are your only hope.

Crapsicle; I've been able to get the root to work on kingo root, but then anytime my tablet needs restarting it goes into a bootloop. Any insight in regards to a possible fix?
If not I'll probably return it in exchange for an iPad.

Now you have root, try and reroot with kingroot then remove kingo.
Samsung has Kernels which restrict rooting, but Kingroot has good success at circumventing this.
gained root but still loops
used the kingoroot way mentioned then ran kingroot gained root 100% working removed kingoroot everything seemed to go well tried to reboot and right back into the bootloop so can get root but can not reboot device

just got this tablet my self a few days ago and been trying to gain root since super annoying to say the least but something should pop up soon for it cause its not a terrible tablet so if root can be gained already something just has to be tweaked to fix bootloop i can deff see it being fixed also is any know dev wanna look into this i wouldnt mind throwing ya some money for fixing boot loop issue with rooting.
I got the same result, it seems unlikely that there will be a root mostly because apparently Verizon goes out of their way to prevent users from rooting. But I don't know much about the android rooting scene so don't take my word for it.
I actually just ended up exchanging mines for an iPad, there's currently a working Jailbreak.

If you hot reboot you won't lose root.
DONATE ME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BUY ME A BEER OR HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU
It's not loosening root I'm concerned with as I got it to stick last night just the boot loop is the issue for some reason king root by it self will not give me permanent root so I have to use both programs
