This is my first post. I've added nothing constructive to the forum, and i'm here to get some help. Just wanted to come clean, i'm definitely that guy right now.

To cut to the chase i need to root a Kyocera Duraforce Pro (E6810)

Kingroot is a no go. To the best of my knowledge, there does not exist a forum where someone has successfully done it. I don't mind to get a little sketchy, i have a junk Duraforce pro that still works (half ****ed screen) and ill gladly try something that might brick that one.

Im looking for a direction to go, doesn't have to be a step by step. Anyone personally rooted a Duraforce Pro?

Why do i NEED to? I need to edit the apn settings for my mms to work on bluegrass. The settings are locked, neither verizon nor kyocera is any help. Ive searched far and wide for ways around the grayed out apn menu, my phone has to be rooted first. If you know how to edit apn settings on 6.0.1 without a root let me know. Gotta get my **** picks, cant live without it.

Thanks in advance,

-Senior Bumble****

Hey Senior Bumble,

I was just about to try this on a new phone that I purchased. If you have one that you don't mind bricking, would you mind giving it a shot? Here are the links to root the device. I have a Verizon phone.

Any update on this. Was it successful?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
Try this,

Download adb and Koush Universal adb driver and install them on ur pc, always install the driver first and don't install the drivers adb setup asks u to install.

Run command prompt as administrator.

Open the folder in c drive where adb is installed, u can use file explorer for this.

Press Shift+right click and select open command window here.

Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to the pc by a USB cord.

Enter command "adb devices" without quotation marks.

If it shows some device connected, only then proceed further.

Enter command " adb reboot bootloader"

Enter command " fastboot devices", if it shows some device to be connected, only then proceed further.

Enter command " fastboot oem unlock".

Ur phone may then ask for final confirmation on the phone screen, select yes.

When procedure completes, type "fastboot reboot" and ur phone will reboot.

U can now use Kingoroot or any other tool for rooting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmillam:
Sorry i took a while to get back to you, no luck.

Both of Sirachi's options ask me to "Put your Mobile in Boot Loader Mode" after this, my computer will no longer recognize the device. "adb devices" returns nothing and "reboot bootloader" fails.

If i use Augustoandro's guide i can get a little further until i reach a dead end. When i run "reboot bootloader" it does take my device to the Kyocera startup screen, it then appears to freeze and is unresponsive. I first tried to proceed after checking "fastboot devices" once, only to have "fastboot oem unlock" fail. I then pulled the battery and retried this time waiting a while on the restart screen. I checked fastboot devices a few times to see if it would change.

PS C:\adb> adb reboot bootloader

PS C:\adb> fastboot devices

e1898b6 fastboot

PS C:\adb> fastboot devices

e1898b6 fastboot

PS C:\adb> fastboot devices

e1898b6 fastboot

PS C:\adb> fastboot oem unlock

...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.016s

Good news is i've been dicking around with the junk phone (pulling batteries, navigating bootloader menus without being able to see them) and haven't bricked it yet.

Any ideas on why its failing? I would guess its related to adb not being able to send the duraforce directly to bootloader menu? Drivers maybe?

Thanks for all the suggestions, i'm picking up more and more knowledge of the process as i go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebno:
Hey there!

I have the same problem as Senior Bumble...

First attempts I made in rooting was with an E6820 (AT&T branded). With it i did not even got the devices into bootloader. So i bought an E6810 (Verizon branded), and could activate the bootloader. But any attempts to unlock the bootloader failed.

Is there anybody who has another idea how to unlock the bootloader?

Thanks!

Greetings Norb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agladservo:
What version is the E6820 on?

Enabling "OEM unlocking" under developer options in MM doesn't do anything in terms of enabling unsigned bootloaders to go unchecked & unhaulted by what comes before & after if flashed, or even enabling fastboot flashing, etc. in the first place
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndt44:
Has anyone succeeded in flashing and/or rooting the DuraForce Pro? Mine is an E6820 AT&T variant, and I haven't been able to get in either bootloader or recovery mode with the various key combinations found online. The E6810 and E6830 versions all seem to be different devices although they are all "Kyocera Dura Force Pro" models. Any recommendations on accessing the bootloader on my E6820 (I've already enabled Developer Mode & "unlock OEM bootloader" in the settings with little/no effect)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzryu21:
Kyocera Duraforce Pro E6820 (AT&T)

This smartphone's bootloader is encrypted directly from the factory.. I also have the unlocked AT&T version & even enabling OEM bootloader unlocking doesn't do anything particular that I can see.. The farthest I have gotten is to an Android error screen with the robot's stomach open saying "no command".. I contacted Kyocera directly and was told by a representative that if you were to forget the pin number the phone is essentially bricked and has to be sent into the carrier or Kyocera directly to reflashed because she said there is no way for the user to enter into recovery mode with any button combination!! I shared my concerns & irritations with her and she even said that it didn't make any sense.. I don't think this phone is rootable due to the excessively high levels of encryption and without any help from our carriers or Kyocera we're stuck with bloatware and a slow phone unfortunately.. I'm having major issues with my phone's speed booting up, along with intermittent "drops" with my mobile data connection, and my camera is constantly attempting to auto focus causing me to not be able to record videos or take decent pictures.. If we could root these phones and put a custom rom on them, I really believe that it'll fix many of these issues and other problems we're having but I'm afraid that I'll have to abandon this device for another manufacturer because I have exhausted all efforts to get this thing rooted..

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] LordLugard:
I've been reading about all the Note 8's (Snapdragon) being the same hardware but different firmwares which can be flashed vice-versa. I'll assume the ESN/MEID of the unlocked models are in Sprint's database. (Still have nightmares trying to activate a Nexus 6P with Sprint)

I'm wondering if it is worth it to get the unlocked model and then flash/ODIN the Sprint firmware (for Wifi-Calling/Calling Plus, and VoLTE, etc).

Why go through this? If I can get the unlocked model cheaper than the Sprint branded version, is it worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krazieboy:
I'm on unlocked note 8 with sprint. Activation was simple. easy and no trouble. I do have wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] LordLugard:
Did you flash the Sprint firmware for WiFi calling or just the way it came out the box?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
As soon as the SIM activates, WiFi calling enables...as soon as LTE Calling is available, I bet we get it too...could be mistaken though...

How are you getting voicemail? Without the sprint visual voicemail app, do you have to dial into your own number or hold "1" in the dialer to check ur messages?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
I used *73mygooglevoicenumber to forward no answer service to Google voice...I like the transcriptions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Bang321:
That works terrifically. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] centran:
*73 works but FYI it forwards calls after 23 seconds or if you hit END

*28 is what gvoice recommends which forwards on no answer or busy.

Almost the same thing but you get the busy signal forward as well as when it goes to voicemail with 28. 73 is more of a timeout or on reject.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Right on...I'll have to do that then...the website said *28 was no longer being used for no answer and th at *73 replaced it...I'll check it out anyways..

Ordered Unlocked on OCT 3rd for Sprint, coming with SIM card, so i assume once its activated that ill get the WIFI Calling, but whatabout HD voice and VOLTE?? Its already in BETA on my wifes S8, THanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] LordLugard:
Most likely might need to flash Sprint firmware to get Sprint network specific features ...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Sprint WiFi calling already works on unlocked version...for VoIP we are waiting for update...Sprint will enable provisioning for your imei if you call them...mine is enabled awaiting the VoIP update when released...Verizon and AT&T are the only ones having issues with WiFi calling and VoLTE...Video calling is not even offered by Sprint

My unlocked on Sprint has:

Download Booster

WiFi Calling

Hotspot (shortcut master lite method)

HD voice (shortcut master lite enable enhanced lte)

VoIP (provisioned by Sprint but awaiting app (like Sprint's WFC for WiFi calling) to be installed in future update to work)

VVM by Google Voice (Sprint VVM needs root and build prop edit with required files pushed to system folders)

No Video Calling will be available because Sprint and Google agreed for Google duo....which is sometimes better anyways
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] urirx98:
Duo does work great, have tried with both my wife and father ( both have s8s) . I got email today that my Sprint SIM CARD was shipped but the phone is still on backorder, errrr. Hoping to get update in few days since when i bought it said would be shipped after the 15th.. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Ps, did you have to do anything to the phone to get the wificalling or hotspot working?? I have hotspot on my sprint plan so i plan on using it for tablets for the kids., and deff want VOLTE when its ready

So, i bought this samsung phone sm-a520f/ds. It worked smoothly on marshmellow until the nougat ota arrived... So I did a factory reset as many stated that would fix the issues I was having with the new android version.

Now I am unable to connect to any wifi AP and I get the following message on screen after selecting my language:

"unable to connect to wifi due to unauthorized factory reset"

I have access to my google account which I was using on this device, but due to being unable to connect to the network, it is impossible to reach the login screen.

Any idea or solution will be appreciated !!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Proweedsmoker:
So, I have an unbranded unlocked N8 I bought from Best-Buy assigned to my VZW account that was missing the "Advanced Calling" menu in settings. My wife's branded VZW S8+ has this menu. I tried the guides for other carriers to unlock WifI and HD calling, but alas, none of them worked. (I did however get the camcorder in the phone dial pad, but it didn't do anything) *******Still working on WifI calling**********

I spent hours testing settings in the IMS config via the shortcut app, all with no luck.

TIP: I called big red (VZW) on the phone and told them I bought the phone from bestbuy (didn't mention it was the non carrier unlocked version) and that WifI and HD calling menu wasn't on my phone. She told me my IMS wasn't configured on their end and she would update it. (This did not affect my grandfathered unlimited data plan)

Steps:

1. Call VZW and tell them you dont have access to HD voice on your phone and need help.

2. They will update the IMS on their end.

3. Turn off WifI, turn on mobile data.

4. Reboot and profit.

Ive uploaded a SS of the new option which wasn't there before I called VZW.

*****WARNING****** I seem to have lost the ability in the shortcut app to access the IMS launcher settings. Not sure if the 83mb update I took today caused it or not. Just warning you. I can still get into WifI calling via the app, however, it still crashes every time I get into it.

(Yes I know I shouldn't have taken any updates while we wait on eng. code to be released. Oh well I guess. )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
You can always flash back to stock then...as long as it is server side as soon as it provisions, you should still get the goods...and be back to stock...this update does not lock you in...congrats though...

Does your Wi-Fi calling still not work? That's my only hangup of going with the Verizon rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WinDroidGuy:
Nope; works out of the box with Sprint & T-Mobile; haven't tested my AT&T SIM

You can get into IMS Settings by using Nova Activity launcher; under DEBUG INFO > IMS Information all should be true; if not VoLTE isn't enabled on the account or provisioning isn't completed; this can be done with a simple reboot.

Also; IMS Service Switch, make sure VoLTE Video is on for video calling; if/when VZW uses universal RCS profile you will have access to "iMessage" like features which Sprint/T-Mobile can currently use.

Is there any way to enable "IMS Service Switch" thereafter enable VoLTE so that VoLTE option would appear under Settings->Mobile Networks?

Please suggest.

I am not sure on how can you debrand this to US version as I dont have the files yet, mainly OEMINFO file. Once I get it, I can guide you step by step. in fact there is a guide in my signature to do it the best way. I have published this guide yesterday and of you want you can debrand to Indian version BLN-L22.

For US version these 3 files are required (Plus the oeminfo file which couldn't find yet) but 2 of them are same as you downloaded but through a different channel.

Main ZIp- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1279/g104/v82849/f1/full/update.zip

Data file- http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...BLN-L24_hw_usa/update_full_BLN-L24_hw_usa.zip

This below may not be required to debrand but in case you face any issues after debranding then you can use this.

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...49/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip

Once I get the oeminfo file, I can 100% debrand your phone to US version.
