Can't Root

[Guest Unable]

Hi there,

I have a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and I can't root.

 

I have tried KingRoot 4.5, KingRoot 4.1, WonderShare Mobile Go and every single one of them fails...

 

Any suggestion please?

 

Thanks

Try to do a complete clean install of the OS and then try again. Download the update.zip from ZTE Web page, put it in your sdcard boot into recovery, update from sdcard e choose the update.zip file.

Thanks for the quick reply...

Done it 6 or 7 times... No luck :/

That's strange. I've already tried both king root versions with no problems.

Yes, I was also able to root some of my friends devices and I can't root mine :/

No idea what do to next...

What did u try first?

If king root need to be sure that all traces are removed before trying again. It's been ages since I've even bothered rooting but sounds as if that can be a pain to do on this phone due to the exploits used to root.

I'll be using the mobilego one straight off the bat if I do root. 

All I can suggest to try if u haven't already is install stock recovery (u got this already I assume) install stock rom, clear data etc, factory reset a few times and try  mobilego again.  What happens when it fails?

There are a couple of other mobilego type rooting tools u could also try - iroot and root genius - no idea what they are like though

If none of that works then hopefully someone with more recent rooting experience will come along and assist.

Thanks for both helps...

I have the adb / usb drivers up to date and what I did was exactly what  ohyesman said...

1. Format Data / Cache

2. Install oficial rom from oficial recovery

3. Reboot

4. Try root

 

I followed these steps with minor changes so I can try to figure out what I've been doing wrong...

 

Still no progress...

 

Im going to quit for now, until theres a new solution.

 

Thanks

Hmmmm tried to root my phone and it failed using mobilego.. Completely stock from box apart from ota update installed via stock recovery. 

Will try again tomorrow, may try kingroot but prefer not to have to go through all the hoops to remove traces and install su

This phone has done annoying issues to, mention those in other thread
