[GUIDE] Root your Kyocera Rise!

[ZackVortex]

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

Yes every thing is running smoothly. I haven't noticed anything buggy. And no I did not remove anything just re did the 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?

Try running as administrator.

Under administrator. If it helps, ran it the first time, it said "Restore Starting", and then "Restore Ended" at the bottom of the phone's screen, and the command window just kept running with no signs of reboot.

Phone rebooted once, came back, went to check for Superuser but wasn't there. Checked my root checker, and didn't have any encouraging words for me...

I must be doing something wrong!

Did all of the phone drivers installed successfully?

I installed the drivers and the install wizard said they installed successfully. I'm going to try a different USB drive... I'll flip this table if it's the USB port....

Try re downloading rise.zip.

Tried that too. Unzipped the file, placed it on the desktop, ran the root, didn't reboot the first time. Ran it again, it rebooted but didn't take the root or have Superuser on it.

The thing I see that you two are both doing wrong per the steps in the guide is where you extract the file. You need to create a folder in the root of your C:\ drive with no spaces in the folder name and place all the files in there.

I tried the first time no success the second time no success and then ran as administrator and worked perfectly then i used it for a while and now i cant access system apps plz help and acutally cant access any apps and cant even play music plz help!!

 

[l337n1nj4]

Made the file for C:\RISE. Extracted root necessities to this folder, tried but now it's saying that '/system/app/Backup-Restore.apk' and '/system/bin/ric' are missing. What is happening?!?!

 

[Hayden Luc Dunte]

hi can someone help me out I knew I'm just wondering if it matters that my rise isn't a version 5155 and its not sprint will the download still work

 

[Active_Matrix]

Anyone that is rooted, and has the sprint direct connect app, can you tell me the name of the apk? Or can someone post the apk? Thanks

The drivers you're going to download are for the sprint Kyocera rise. I'm assuming u have virgin mobile? It will work the same

Edit1: created a folder, put the zip in there and ran it. successful.

Now is this hotspot capable?

 

[waltercampbell]

I have two Kyocera rises...one went thru just fine and has full root, the other will not work... the only difference is that i have updated the firmware on one phone, but not the other (new update available as of yesterday) the one that is not updated rooted successfully, the updated one will not, i assume this is because of the updated firmware? Thanks, Walter

 

[waltercampbell]

I'm getting the same message with one of my kyocersa rise phones...did u do the firmware update in the past few days? if so, i believe thats the problem... the one that i didnt update rooted, the one that i did update gives me the same message youre talking about.

its definitely the firmware update...my phone (the one that rooted successfully) just crashed when i tried to update the firmware, and i had to unroot to fix it.
