Root finally achieved on CAT B15Q.
I tried all the simple methods, none worked.
I used PDAnet USB drivers.
To achieve root, I made a recovery using the CWM method with SP Flash Tool V5.1408.00 following this guide
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tutorial-Ultimate-no-root-backup-CWM-MT6582-MT6592-MT6589-MT6589T-MT6577-MT6595
Recovery was patched using MTK Droid tools. However, SP Flash Tool V5 would not flash the phone with the patched Recovery and Boot files, so for that I used SP Flash Tool V3.1332.0sn187. Then root using MTK Droid tools - Superuser (SuperSU failed). Also useful was this guide
chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-Tutorial-How-to-build-CWM-and-root-Bedove-X21-MTK6577-and-other-MTK-phones
Note: When plugging phone in for flashing (this is done with the phone OFF), put battery in, plug cable into phone, hold volume down button when you plug the USB cable into the computer.
Checking with a root checker, it told me I did not have full root access, even though Superuser appeared to be working, I only had temporary root.
I then used Root Genius, which finally achieved full root.
A bit of messing around, but worth it.
Install busybox.

Could you make a tutorial?
Yes, a detailed tutorial how to successful rooting a Cat B15Q would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried with towelroot, but app says phone is not compatible.
Newest chinese version from RootGenius is 1.9.6, but international version is only 1.8.7 from
march 2014. Has anybody tried successfully with one of the versions?

failed at this one...
read back not working.
any more informations?
did i understand correctly, root genius works?
just want to be sure before i try it, thanks in advance
Roor genius didn't work for me. Left my phone in wierd state (screen flickering during call). Had to do factory reset after my root tries.
i hope this thread wont die, there isnt much information on the web on how to root the b15q.
has anyone found some good links, or some in any way useful info that they could post here?
i really hope this will turn out better than with the b15, where after half a year there was still nothing reliable
thanks in advance :good: :fingers-crossed:

Can you tell us which version of RootGenius you used? Chinese 1.9.6, or older international version 1.8.7 from march 2014 ? Or another else?
For info: I have tried to contact as672 for more details, but no answer until today.

It's an apk fille (in chinese). Just download, run, wait, reboot and voila... Root is there. At least i have it on my B15Q since morning. Root is persistent (still rooted after multiple reboots) and controlled by KingUser app that you will get preinstalled after running thar chinese apk. How much is it safe or not I have absolutely no clue nor guarantee. For me it works without any problems (so far).

Dear cityshark_cz,
thank you for pioneering to root @ my CAT B15Q, keeps any reboot, all works fine!
Through rooting installed Kinguser App is near equal to SuperSU or Superuser.
Hopefully without Chinese back door...

Kingroot 4.1 failed for me on D85120g with the message, "Root Failed no strategy now". It looked promising at first as it had a root now buttom but root checker says no root access.

I used kingo root one touch app worked first time tried
Let me start by saying I APOLOGIZE, As I know this may not be the right section but I've asked there as well and couldn't find help. I feel as though I've exhausted all my resources and still can't get my Gpad to root. I've tried the one click method, kingroot, towelroot, various ADB scripts. You name it I tried them all out there. Is there anyone out there that knows how I can get this device rooted? For the past 3 weeks alone my mission had been to simply very this tablet rooted.
Sorry but I think we are lost no Root for this tablet with lollipop 5.0.2 and the bad part no exist a KDZ or TOT to back to stock.
Damn that's what I was fearing. I may just have to return it as, being NON ROOTED is not an option for me. I'll probably get a Nexus.

Even tried that one with no luck. Tried 4 times.
I've tried literally every type of root method that I could find including Stump, King, Towel, Kingo, "new LG root method", PurpleDrake, and several others. No luck whatsoever.

Mine is Sprint LTE LG G pad 7 with Lolillop. I downloaded the Kingroot apk and tried on the tablet. No superSU but something similar from Kingroot to manage root permission.

Not saying that I don't believe you, but would you mind posting screenshots? I'm terribly curious.
And if you are cool with it, I'd like to work with you to get a dump of the 5.0.2 ROM. Maybe we can package it in to a zip for others.
Thanks!

Excellent. Thank you!
This tablet came to me as 5.0.2 and I rooted it with LG One Click Root. Then while trying to fully enable tethering and half drunk I partially-bricked it (it would boot to a black screen and after a moment start adbd) so I flashed the 4.4.2 test-keys image and successfully rooted again with One Click Root (obviously). The trick is to change the COM port of the download mode driver from COM21 to COM17, as One Click Root expects the device to use COM17. Before starting, boot into download mode with the button combo (powered off, hold volume up while plugging in USB cord) and use Device Manager to change the port of the "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port" to COM17. It may take a few moments for the tablet to show up in Device Manager. Reboot the tablet. Now One Click Root will run through smoothly in one shot.

hi all,
I am in desperate need of some help. I have a retail verizon note 4 on 5.1.1 BPA1 eMMC starts with 15, all the prereqs to unlock the bootloader. For some reason Kingroot never succeeds. I have factory reset, tried kingroot version 4.9.2 and a bunch of other lower versions. It always resets phone around 52-55%. I have literally been trying kingroot all day. Please help Ive searched but have no idea why I cannot get a temp root to run the scripts I need root! lol

I think there has been some miscommunication. If KingRoot fails try Kingoroot instead.
Looks like you download it from here: www.kingoapp.com

FYI: looks like some people do not trust it. It looks no more sketchy than Kingroot to me but your mileage may vary. PSA
Here is a dedicated thread to supporting it: XDA discussions
Kingroot worked fine for me so I have not tried it.
kingo Root worked for me, now I will finally be able to unlock the boot loader.
thank you for the post on this was driving me crazy
I used the apk instead of the PC version, worked the first time
kingroot failing use kingoroot
Just to confirm no version of kingroot apk or pc would root my note 4 always failed. Tried kingoroot and worked the 1st time. Good luck!
I'd strongly recommend once you get root to install a custom ROM. Any one will work.
Part of installing most ROMs is the requirement to wipe the data partition. Format the data partition as well as wipe it. That should remove any remnants of Kingroot. Make sure anything you have saved to your internal storage... pictures, music, etc... is moved off before you wipe/format.
Format the SD card that you used to unlock the bootloader and if you have stuff on your daily driver SD card that you can replace, format that as well. One never knows what sort of cooties Kingroot leaves on a phone. It's best to disinfect as best as you can.
i'm also unable to gain root with either kingroot or kingoroot (pc & android versions) Anyone else having this issue, if so how did you gain perm root?
Kingoroot loses the root after reboot
The first root is OK. But it won't shut down smoothly, need to take out battery. After the reboot, the root is gone. Bootloarder is not successful. Is there anything wrong on my Note 4, 5.1.1, BPA1 baseband version?
I have rooted with kingoroot the 1st time. I was able to proceed through all the steps and change the CID, But not a DEV phone yet. I need to run the steps again. kingoroot say rooted, but when I check with root checker it says not rooted. kingroot just restarts the phone.
Update, I kept rebooting and root took about 30 try's. I was able to complete and phone is not DEV
The kingOroot webpage isn't loading in chrome at all (at least the link provided above).. maybe we need mirrors in case it was taken down?
EDIT: I managed to load it into edge.. but where do you find older versions in case the current version fails? (Or is that issue just kingroot?)
