I kept getting "Kyocera update tool" download so I finally let it finish and upgrade the phone.. here is what I have found:

New or Updated apps:
-Google play Magazines
-Voicemail
-Connections Optimizer ( this is under wireless and networks > mobile networks ) and a few system fles.

a total of I think 8 files came up in Titanium backup... With brings me to the next topic.. (because I was getting pauses and T.B. wasnt working how it should)

I removed and reinstalled T.B. a few times and kept having issues one app even said try removing app in superuser. This did not work so I removed superuser, and now I am no longer rooted. I have tried "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and V2" both worked before.. now I get:

Running ...

And it runs forever any suggestions? I am going to make a wild guess that in the last update they removed the back-up apk? I get the starting restore... then a second or 2 later it says ending restore.
 
After several attempts and I feel thet I may have just gotten lucky.. V2 finally came back with:

again before the update this ran without problems every time. :-(
 
After trying several methods.. I was able to Root using POOT. more info here:

New Root Method No Pc

Prior even posting how can I make this my own thread instead of being sticked especially when I'm the only one so far who has this?

On my initial/first reply was solely asking to have this as a seperate thread and not being moved by a mod into the sticky.Basically you do the following:

1)Enable usb debugging in dev ops

2)Download poot: http://db.tt/0HqxEURT

3)Download minstro 2 from store

4)Download superuser from store

5)Run poot

6)Pushes su to xbin

7)Go into superuser and update binary (I skipped this step for some reason I lose root after doing this)

8)If done right you now have root

9)For testing on already rooted phones use temp unroot through superuser and repeat

this worked for the rise, and for me for the hydro. Bin4ry's root I could not get to work (after the "Kyocera Update Tool" downloaded and installed new formware ) hope this helps someone here.
 
I've been getting the notification for the new firmware update for the last 2 days. I'm scared to update because I don't know if it will cause me to lose root access. I rooted a few months ago using the Poot method. Will I have to RE-root if I update? Please help me.

Mine updated and did not remove my root. However, my wife's has not updated yet. I don't know why.
 
mhmm no problem. i also use the rise and one reason was to see how the files get flashed. we really need cwm imported to all three phones. and it would be great to see how these files get flashed
