You shouldnt use KingoRoot. It's makers are unknown and they don't even have real contact information associated with a business or person.

Essentially untrusted.

But I digress, I too achieved root according to KingRoot(search XDA for it) First attempt to execute 'su' resulted in a segfault. Second rebooted the device. Third made everything but USB/Shell freeze, was forced to issue 'reboot'.

As I've said before, there's something on the device that is removing the su binary/killing the execution. Some kinda self preservation. I wish someone had the knowledge to stop it from doing this.

Its called verity check or verified boot.

https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/

Any ideas on how to pull the images off the phone?

I'm assuming the RAM is still writable. Is there a way to cat to RAM, and then pull it from there?
[General Questions and Answers] Fawxy:
Im struggling to understand the tools you provided. Its not snatching the port so it cannot connect to the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Xzanah:
I have posted this on many forums, but have not gotten responses yet, so idk if it works with other devices...

1) Download Kingroot

2) Download Flashfire

3) Download SuperSU binary update zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

4) Flash the zip in Flashfire after granting Superuser privileges

5) If it works, uninstall KingRoot, and run SuperSU app

If this doesn't work, please give me some feedback. I haven't gotten any, and if I get good feedback I will keep posting this solution. If I receive bad feedback, I will not post for this device manufacturer.

Thank you, for your eyes, and time,

Xzanah

any one wanna try this ^ (my phone is down atm)
[General Questions and Answers] ccpm120:
Hi there. First of all you gotta go to "Developer options" in your phone then set "usb debugging" feature on there. After that you should get one more com "high speed" port in your PC device manager. One is gonna be used by the flasher we are given. I assume you've gotten the appropriate Kyocera drivers installed already. Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] Fawxy:
Heres what I get when I try to connect the phone using USB debugging on the phone. ADB commands work fine, so theres that. But its not being read as a COM Port, just an Android device.
[General Questions and Answers] Xzanah:
I don't know if anyone saw this. Just a heads up
[General Questions and Answers] oblitersmash:
I have started the process andI have downloaded and installed Kingroot, FlashFire, SuperSU & The SuperSU Binary update you've linked above.

I ran KingRoot multiple times and each time I got "root failed"
[General Questions and Answers] Xzanah:
Thank you for your input. This device will not have this posted again, for it is obvious that KingRoot does not even work for it. If anyone else somehow gets the solution working, I will post it again in a thread for this device, under the SOLVED bracket. Perhaps I could find a way to inject KingRoot's script through adb, but I doubt it. Maybe someone else could try different methods? I dunno.

Thank you again for your time,

Xzanah
[General Questions and Answers] ccpm120:
All right, I got you. Now try to do the following:

-Go to your Kyocera phone dial keypad then type ##3424# (##DIAG#)

-Enter 000000 of SPC as prompted.

--Then drill down DIAG option and turn it ON (Enable)

- You'll get what you've been looking for.

Do not enable "Qualcomm USB Function Mode" cause the "high speed" driver won't work with the ports you'll get (req. diff. drivers), so leave it as is (disabled).

That's all.

You can either re-flash your phone or do it a factory reset with the SST software. The Factory reset brings the phone up to its default state so If you had one network unlocked you have to perform the unlocking procedure again (via built-in Unlock app). Just reflashing the phone has nothing to do with its network unlock setting.
[General Questions and Answers] Stevenlb 2:
I seem to be a day late and a we.tl short.

Can anyone re-up those flash tools?
[General Questions and Answers] nitrusinc:
Just to add. I tried Xzanah's method with a KingoRoot Temp root, but FlashFire refuses to acknowledge root.

Ironically it looks like it's expecting to see a updated binary for SuperSU to allow usage.

Any progress on how to pull images?

We've got to disable verity, somehow.
[General Questions and Answers] Xzanah:
I didn't use kingo but I did use kingroot.

Here is why...

Kingoroot is annoying to use. Every time I use it it crashes my phone, almost as though it isn't working with my phone but against it. Anyways, thanks for the update.
[General Questions and Answers] nitrusinc:
Just tried KingRoot, again. It failed, again.

The phone doesn't have the same problems during the temp root with KingoRoot when running a custom launcher.

Once we figure out how to actually disable verity, what we use for rooting will be more specific.
[General Questions and Answers] Mosthated78:
Kingroot can temp root the phone.

But this presented 2 problems for me

#1 the oem unlock option disappeared from the developer menu as soon as kingroot rooted it temporarily.

#2 the adb backup option in recovery mode disappeared also.

I was told the oem unlock option diapeared because I unlocked the bootloader. But I did not ever run the command in fastboot to unlock it so unless kingroot did it I don't know wtf happened but hard reset and normal factory reset and both options are still missing.

Kingroot temp rooted and on reboot oem unlock was missing and so was the recovery mode options for adb backup.

Anyone know a fix to get the oem unlock option back?
[General Questions and Answers] nitrusinc:
I've never seen OEM Unlock in the Developer Options Settings in System Settings.

Do you remember which section inside of Developer Options this was in?
[General Questions and Answers] SinCitytycoon:
Well I hope we can get this fixed hoping cuz it's actually a good Phone
[General Questions and Answers] aaronrules69:

I too like the phone it would be great if we could remove all the garbage apps and clean it up.

[General Questions and Answers] batman202012:
Hello Kyocera cousins, I rooted my hydro vibe using kingroot. I'm wondering have any of you let it try to run through multiple times? I had to do that on my old tablet that is running ics and after 3 times it finally took.

If it restarts multiple times don't be worried, it states that this might happen and might be required for your phone.

Mode Switch

This is from Post #306...concerning the Kyocera Hydro Wave....: "The mode switch tool is use to open the com port and enable ADB no matter if the developers tools is not enable (even if the phone is user locked)," Is it possible for you to provide a download link or website where I can find this software tool?

If not, thanks for responding to this message anyway... :fingers-crossed:

[General Questions and Answers] skippyffs:
so I have got kingroot to give me some kind of temp root, root checker sees it, TiBU sees it, root browser etc, even terminal emulator allows me to invoke su

BUT

I can't delete bloatware

TiBU can freeze but not uninstall, root browser says it deletes things but they don't go, and trying to remount on terminal emulator produces "mount: read-only file system"

so looks like what someone has said about it locking the system down is right

flash fire doesn't recognize root

anywhere to go from here? I don't mind to try things out just was really hoping to delete the facebook app and stuff

possibly run Viperfx stuff like that

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687590 does this help us at all?

edit: okay so I have been able to remove a few things permanently, namely pinyin IME ,galaxy4 wallpaper and google TTS confirmed that they are no longer taking up space in phone with root explorer

everything else has come back when deleted so now I have simply frozen most of it with kingroot and or TiBU

Facebook app I have tried to delete in like 70 ways and it keeps coming back, I have even tried replacing the odex file with a dummy and changing permissions and it returns undaunted

any other suggestions for clearing room on the phone??

edit2: pretty consistently able to get a temp root, seems to last a few mins then can't be redone without restarting the phone

adb can invoke su in a shell,

and I pulled a recovery and kernel .img using a program called Rashr, they are each 32mb not sure if that's useful at all

I tried going from kingroot to super sume but didn't seem to do anything but delete kingroot

BTW I am using kingroot 4.6.2 as mentioned in this thread earlier, seems to work better and more consistently than the latest version.

is there a SuperSU that doesnt require updated binaries?
[General Questions and Answers] lomilia:
Kyocera hydro wave recovery mode

I was able to get to recovery mode by using vol down and power and when I did one of the options is to reboot into boot loader
[General Questions and Answers] I'll Be Diddly:
Hello everyone, created an account just to document my experience with the C6740N so far. As with everyone I've tracked down everything I've tried with Google searches and ADB commands, but I think I've come to a sad conclusion. More on that later. For now, though, here are the steps I took to attempt to reboot into the bootloader of my phone:

First attempt: Use "adb reboot-bootloader" and "adb reboot bootloader" (without separating dash)

Result? FAIL. Reboots normally.

Second attempt: Boot into recovery using VOLDN+PWR.

Result? Success! Here is a picture of the recovery as seen by my camera (sorry for the reflection, I couldn't take a screenshot since I wasn't in any OS)

(PM me for a link, sadly new accounts cannot attach or link to other websites)

As you can see, at the top it says "Android system recovery <3e>"

And simply states "LMY470" underneath. This is the version of Android the phone came with, 5.1 Lollipop.

The options listed are:

"reboot system now"

"wipe data/factory reset"

"wipe cache partition"

"reboot to bootloader" (we'll get to this in a sec)

"power down"

"view recovery logs" (more on this in a later post, but only if someone asks for it)

The obvious choice would be to reboot into the bootloader from recovery, which I attempted.

Unfortunately, as the first attempt proved, that would not work.

Third attempt: Finally, defeated, I looked into using "adb reboot fastboot" and "adb reboot recovery"

Result? Fastboot command disappointed me again, rebooting into regular old Android.

Surprisingly (at this point), the Recovery command worked like a charm, sending me to the recovery without pressing the keys required.

But... as you may have guessed given my sour tone during this entire post, this just looped me back into my second attempt's results, which were failure. My conclusion is below

TL;DR

My conclusion at this point, I'm sorry to say, is that the Kyocera Hydro Wave (C6740N) does NOT have a bootloader. Additionally, it does not seem to have any other boot method aside from its standard and recovery (so no fastboot, for you quick root enthusiasts. :( )

[General Questions and Answers] JugginJugs:
Ok, forgive me if it has already been mentioned in this thread. I've read the beginning pages, then kinda skimmed to the last few due to the age of this thread. But has anybody found a successful root for this phone yet? The Hydro Wave. I've gotten the mobile version to give me root access from KingRoot. But that didn't last long. I got rid of some bloatware then lost root access after a few minutes and super user or BusyBox could not be registered or found. And the root checker pro even came up with nothing. KingRoot on the PC might work if it was in English, so there goes that. I've tried multiple ways and haven't found anything else to even start root access. This is a really nice phone as it is, but has some bugs that root access can take care of and it badly needs an OS update rather than fixing the bugs. Anybody know what we can do about this phone? Something is telling me not to give up on it quite yet.

Finally c6740n "Root Successful"

So after well over a year, I finally succeeded in acquiring "Full Normal Root" on my "c6740n". Thx to the developers of "King Root". The program connected to the Internet n auto-loaded the necessary files, n executed w/o any issues. Simply use King Root as u would on any other device, hope everyone that has been as frustrated as I, will also be as happy as I was when it actually worked.!!! I hope this is exactly what you been hoping to hear, Enjoy...
[General Questions and Answers] wmhawkjr:
Update wth, I too lost root after a re-boot ..

So sorry guys, I really thought they finally figured it out, it lasted so long. I did manage to delete "ALL" the bloatware, and even some unessarsry system files. (Be careful what you delete). The reason I believe this worked is I used the "optional" purify system optimization program, that continues to believe you still have root and gives you this one opportunity to tweak everything you want, I even deleted Facebook, and youtube and re-installed as non-system apps. Tweaked my auto start programs etc... Mine also showed as "Not Rooted", but "purify" continued to function and get the job done. They must be very close, think of it as temporary way to at least tweak your phone the way you would like and "it's a one shot deal" (so do it up and don't mess it up). Not a bad deal, I completely changed all my Apps, settings, and tweaked up my phone the best way I could to my liking. So I'm still quite pleased the way it all turned out. Hopefully there working on it ... Good luck and "Remember be careful what you delete or change".!!!

Best of luck ...
[General Questions and Answers] JugginJugs:
Yeah that's where I'm at. I gain root access for 10 minutes or so, but loose it after that. Been sitting here the past hour redoing one click. Kingo, but getting nowhere. I'm in the same core as you. Would absolutely love to be able to keep a root. But sadly I don't believe there to be a full exploit yet. But at least now we can get into the boot loader. If only we could flash.
[General Questions and Answers] wmhawkjr:
Lost Root

I don't get it, how can it Root let u use purify to remove bloat etc. N then have Root just disappear.? I mean if they can get it that far, y won't it stick.??? I'd b happy if we could update to marshmallow, just to move apps to SD. Sucks.

[General Questions and Answers] JugginJugs:
So, I've had several conversations about this, and I'm wondering if it would be possible to install roms thru a flashdrive and use autorun.inf And launch.bat where it forces the installation of a root? Would that require ADB? It's something that I do want to test. But at the moment my PC is out of commission. I did see that we can now load bootloader in the recovery mode now. Wonder if we can install a custom ROM thru that way?
[General Questions and Answers] yourmom6996:
I dont think there are any custom ROMs for this device.
[General Questions and Answers] JugginJugs:
Not that I found at least. I did manage to get root today from KingRoot. But it didn't last very long before that went. I've been playing around with terminal commands lately, trying to force the permission, but that post earlier about being able to install gnu/Linux got me interested and it says it takes root access in the command prompt. Maybe you can install that supersu download that supposedly works for every device. Idk. Or find the right commands to grant root access somehow. I'm not giving up on it just yet, I have faith in it still.
[General Questions and Answers] yourmom6996:
I love my kyocera phone but mine has way too much issues. Like the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen don't work, I also can't use the navigation button area at all but the buttons work when they are on top of my screen. It freezes way to much, and my final issue is the battery life on the phone. It charges really fast, and drains really fast. Also why would you use autorun? (Autorun is a windows feature not android)
