[GUIDE] Root your Kyocera Rise!

[purpulehaze]

I do miss not having a ca custom rom. The only thing about that I don't miss is for some reason the gps on gingerbread stock or ics stopped working after a custom rom (I'm talking about location lock) only reason I changed phones is because the quattrimus rom went dead. One small problem I'm having with this phone though, also my reason for rooting, is the ram. This phone uses a lot of ram. Deleting some bloatware helped but it is still using a lot of ram. Hopefully there will be some help on this soon

There is a little help at Android Forums.
The Porting Clockwork mod to rise is very help full there.
Some one pushed Kyocera to consider releasing how to unlocked the bootloader. I'll posts a link.

This phone is terrible with ram. Its the slowest smart phone i used so far. If you find a way to make it better please let us know. My apps say we only have 384mb of ram.. while i thought it was 512mb.. but if its really 384mb then i see why its slow.

i got to the daemon successfully part and i waited but nothing happened. then i unplugged the phone and tried again but it just keeps saying that i have to plug it in when its already in. what do i do?

 

[cole2kb]

Try a different USB port, and try running the script as an Administrator by right clicking on it and choosing 'Run as administrator'

Do you have the drivers installed correctly and successfully?

Like zack said make sure u have the correct drivers. Its listed as the sprint rise. That had me baffled tto until I researched the phones drivers. With the correct drivers it should be as easy as 123

Seems like you missed the step where the steps told you where to place the files. Put them in the folder "c:\rise" and try again.

So I downloaded the files, but when I go to unzip and extract the files, it says that the files are password protected and I cannot open them without it. Any help? I am using Windows 7, so it cannot be my computer settings.

 

[Josh Fraijo]

so, how to you get the "c:/rise" folder? it doesn't allow me to create any folders with any symbols ( /, :, etc). ???????????

 

[Josh Fraijo]

Also, I did this with another computer when I was at college yesterday. I downloaded it and it worked, except that when I went to plug in my phone, all it says is "configuring options... you can now plug in your phone with usb debugging mode enabled now" and it stays there. My phone does nothing other than ask me to either charge it, use it as a storage device for a computer, or use it as a media transfer device for a computer.

P.S. that message appeared before I plugged my phone in.

 

[ZackVortex]

Yay this got me rerooted. I did the same thing I just didn't delete the files.

Never mind. I was doing it wrong. I downloaded the drivers but did not install them. Actually, I was only able to download one of the drivers. I know a computer that will allow me to download both of them. If i was to download the other driver and root it to my phone (the phone is already rooted using the instructions at the beginning of the first thread), would it work, or would it just leave me with a paper weight?

I hate being "that" user but is it possible to get a guide or something for those of us that lost root when we updated Superuser? I miss being rooted:banghead:

If you lost root by updating the su binary (like I did) try to do this guide. I did with out having to delete any files or any other step. I just followed it like I did the first time and got my root back.

I wonder if the original xda version will let you unroot from your version, what do you think?

Really? Does everything seem to running smoothly? Also did you uninstill any apps or anything or did you just redo the rooting process?

OK, pretty new to rooting here, so excuse the load of n00b that's about to hit this thread.

So, downloaded the root zip, unzipped it to desktop (I couldn't find the C:\rise as you recommended?), downloaded and installed the drivers, ran the root, phone rebooted but nothing.

Any suggestions?
