-Kingoroot (will get to 100 but will say root failed)

-Kingroot PC version (just gives me Chinese letters and root attempt won't even start.

-framroot
-z4root

Are there any other root methods to try? The bootloader in unlockable if that helps.
 
One Click Root, Towelroot and Motochopper just to name a few. Other methods are available but they all have device limitations.

An unlocked bootloader definitely helps, esp. in the next step, flashing a custom recovery and installing a SuperSU root manager apk and binaries.

What device (manufacturer make & model) are you trying to root? The OS version? Finally, your carrier?
 
What version of Android are you running? The one click root style apps won't work on 6.0 and above.

Is a custom recovery available? If you can unlock the bootloader, flashing the recovery then magisk or SU would be your safest bet.

Os is 6.0 and yes the bootloader is unlockable, but I somehow need a way to rip the recovery without root so I can port twrp. Otherwise I'm stuch with using different root methods.

You're right. The no PC required, single click root apps like One Click, King Root and Kingo Root take advantage of vulnerabilities or "exploits" in the older Android OS versions. In the newer OS versions like 6.0 (Marshmallow) those exploits have been patched. Google and Network Carriers are getting better at closing exploitable vulnerabilities making one click root methods as obsolete as the OS versions they once worked so well on.
Your device manufacturer make and model are key now. Look for devs working on your device and see if it's been cracked. Your unlocked bootloader will prove to be helpful. Some recovery roms include an adb root function. Be certain that any method you try is specifically matched to your EXACT phone. The build number is important. No exact match... don't even try to use it or you'll likely end up with a brick.
 
Tried Motochopper and the files get pushed to the phone , but the exploit itself fails. I would try the LG v20's dirtycow exploit but I think you need a 64bit phone for that?
 
SRS root would get to the part installing SuperSU but would fail. If only you can rip the recovery from the phone without root then I'd be able to port twrp over.
 
What dose mount /system in recovery do?

Edit:I just find it odd considering Alcatel and zte tend to take that option in recovery for some reason.
