I rooted my Acclaim successfully, according to SuperOneClick...but when I check the phone ("su" in Android Terminal Emulator) and try to use Titanium Backup, I have no root access. I have searched other posts, and have seen people ask about this issue, but have not found any suggested answers or remedies as of yet. If anyone has any comments or thoughts as to possibly help me root my phone, I would greatly appreciate it!
I was having the same issues with Moto Droid after the lastest update. I had to install the Android SDK kit and Java SE. Once installed, run the Android SDK and keep it open when running superoneclick. that seemed to do the trick for me.
not working for me none of the methods seem to work for me so far

Hello everyone!
I'm new to Android, I've recently switched from iOS, and I'm starting to love the freedom of an open source platform! I'm trying to figure out the rooting methods etc, but I'm having trouble understanding some details, and after reading many guides I'm still confused. So, here is my question:
I use an htc desire, never rooted before, running 2.2 Froyo (OTA update). I want just a few things: Root access so I can use Autostarts application, manage applications that launch automatically, and get rid of some default applications I never use, like Stocks. Is it necessary to install custom rom etc as described in most guides, or is there an easy way just to get superuser privileges and make those modifications? Can I root my device since I'm running Froyo?
Thanks!

Don't laugh too hard...yes, I own a zenpad. Runs android 1.5. Looking to root and upgrade it to newer version. Tried universal androot...not quite so universal. Could not root. Z4root would not even install. Can anyone provide assistance? Or should I just toss it into the trash? Never rooted or upgraded before, so the simpler the instructions, the better. BTW...USB port is dummy port...charges only. Anything I do must use the SD card. Help?!
try unlockroot 3.0.1 version
Hello,
I have a TracFone ALCATEL A564C. It's Android 4.4.2 and the kernel is 3.4.0. I have searched tirelessly for a way to root this phone, but to no avail. I've tried several one-click roots as well as a "manual" root method using the Android SDK and ADB. I find it extremely difficult to believe that it's impossible to root this phone. Has anybody, anyone, found some way to root the device? Would someone be willing to look into crafting a root solution?
Thank you.
Hope you've got 'er done.
Howdy,
I've got the same problem. It looks like you've tried more than I and I'm hoping you have since found a way.
My main reason to root is to use my phone to tether the car radio ... Also android 4.4.
I've found a post that says "WiFi tether router" from the playstore does work but it requires root.
Thanks for sharing what you've learned.

Try King Root, the download is at KingRoot.net. I have the phone but never bothered doing it as I don't have money to get a new one or fix it if it gets bricked or soft bricked.

This is a method to obtain working root & Super Su by chainfire with up-to-date binaries for the
AT&T Variant of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (SM-T217A) on 4.4.2
Let me make very clear, I did not develop these apps!
This is just a method I found after searching & some trial and error.
I thought it may be helpful if it were available here on the forums.
I spent too long looking for a method that still worked on an OTA up-to-date device etc.
Nobody bothers for an old device with a locked bootloader. :crying:
I'm sure everyone that has had or currently has this model knows that Kingo Root works (at least for partial root), and a big thanks to them for their effort & hard work.
But if you're like me, you want the freedom to use Super Su or any of the other available options out there for managing permissions.
Either way, thanks to Kingo for a temporary solution.
And thanks to gatesjunior you can have your freedom of choice back.
(Although I highly recommend that you use the version found at the bottom of the post, because the newer version I tried stalled at the 1st stage.)
If this method ends up working for you I think it would be worth the $3.99 to support the developer by purchasing his app!
(If you feel adventurous you can attempt using the google play store release, but I had no such luck.)
I had originally tried to use Super Sume version 6.5 with Kingo Root but, it just ended up losing my root access and I had to re-root my device.
Yesterday I attempted to run Super Sume v. 9.2.6 I believe, but for some reason it didn't recognize it Kingo, or Kingroot as being installed on my device.
So I ended up uninstalling it and trying an older version I had read worked, and it succeeded!
Instructions for obtaining Root & Migrating over to Super Su are as follows.
If you are currently rooted using Kingo Root, un-root from within the Kingo app 'Superuser' and proceed to uninstall the rest of their apps..
Install & run Kingroot 4.5; When this is finished, restart your phone and run an app to verify you have root. (I use the free version of Root Checker.)
This may not be necessary but at this point I re-installed Busybox.
Install & run Super Sume v6.7
Restart & Verify Root!
:fingers-crossed: Success! :highfive:
If for some reason your device failed to achieve root using Kingroot after removal of Kingoroot; you may have better luck leaving your device rooted with all the Kingo Root apps installed until after you install Kingroot.
(Although I'm sure most people would advise against it, I actually skipped the un-root/un-installation procedure until after I had installed Kingroot 4.5 because I my battery was at 9%)
Honestly it shouldn't really matter though Super Sume is supposed to remove everything like that anyways
Required APK's can be found below.

Hi, I would really like to appreciate your efforts for this but the links you gave at the end are not working so I am unable to even try your given method.
Thank You!!

Sorry about that, I went ahead and put them on my google drive. Let me know if it works out for you.
Fyi, this method worked for me on a sprint sm-t217s galaxy tab 3 7.0 running kitkat 4.4.2 baseband OH1..

Glad to hear it!
I figured it would probably work on all the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 variants but I only have the AT&T model.
If you don't want to flash your system(or can't in my case) this is probably the next best thing.
Worked for me on my AT&T SM-T217A on 4.4.2 T217AUCUCNI1 & T217AUCUCNI2
Thank you!

Let me know if updated link works, otherwise... I will update OP when I get home.
I know this thread is quite old but it helped me get back on track thanks to r4e_hafintosh and his great instructions. I am working with a Galaxy 3 7.0 SM-T217A (AT&T) version. Wasn't working right so I did a full reset. Tried to get TWRP installed and things went to hell quickly. Biggest problem then was finding a stock 4.2.2 and/or 4.4.2. I finally located both here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=T217A so I was able to use the repair files and get back to stock 4.4.2. Then I followed instructions from r4e_hafintosh to get KingRoot installed along with BusyBox. I'm currently waiting for SuperSUMe to install and it appears I'm back on track. Thanks to r4e_hafintosh, the unknown person who posted the repair files and everyone who has posted at XDA and other Android sites that allowed me to finally hunt down what I needed. Probably a small victory for those much more well versed in customizing ROMs but I big win for me. Hopefully the next person trying to find stock files for the AT&T SM-T217A will find this post as well. Thanks all!
How can we unlock bootloader for it
Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me rooting my smartphone. Right now it's running with the stock Android 6.0, but I would like to install the lineageos 15.1. The problem is, I do not manage to root it!
I tried with no success the:
- purpledrake script (PurpleDrake-Lite_R03.tar.gz) (by the way, my desktop PC is running with a linux ubuntu 18.04 OS and I have a virtualbox environment as guest with WIN7 32 bit).
- towelroot apk
- LG one click root 1.3.0.0
If it's not possible to root the 6.0 Android version, can maybe anybody guide me through a solution for installing a free ROM such as lineageOS? Please go easy with the explanations, I am not very android skilled already read about "first downgrade", but if this is the only possibility I don't really understand how to do it without ending up with a brick.
Thanks in advance for any guideline
Kingroot worked for me initially, and also Towelroot at a later time (which I see you've tried), only thing is it took several attempts (10+) before either app could finally obtain root ......maybe just keep trying with either of those
