Root Root for Fierce 2?

ugghhhhh. i wonder why i can never go pass 20%, then the phone restarts. I've seen people say they've been successful on first try, other took all day. My patience is running out. I've followed the Antutu 10%, clear data method and still nothing. Has anyone found an easier method? (and to think i was going to attempt to root my Zte Zmax too, no wayyyy!)
 
ok this what i did to root mine i used Antutu 15% then kingroot i think it when up to about 30% and then it when off i turn it back on did Antutu 15% and kingroot but when i did kingroot again it just show that blue circle thing for about minute maybe or two never when up to 100% just show that blue circle but it gave me root
 
Does anyone happen to know where some system apps such as chrome or google plus is kept in the system. I was hunting in root explorer and can't find them anywhere.
 
Been at it for over a week with no luck. :/ At first it wouldn't go past 17, then 20, got to 70 one time too!!! But no root for me... :/

Captain look just do this exactly okay backup ur stuff and factory reset ur phone then just leave ur phone alone for 30 mins then come back to it after that just download antutu and download king root once u all ready do these steps run antutu and get ur results after that run it again and when it hits 22% hurry and get kingroot open and just wait if it reboots ur phone at 22-30 do this immediately open antutu and wait for 10% or 22% and hurry and open king root and don't touch the screen or anything or it's gonna get slower and power off so yeah and if it didn't stop at 22-30 just let it go on but don't touch anything okay u can charge it tho

Dee, I have both the Zmax and this phone. King did both. It didn't take quite so long on this phone, but took over 12 hours and 200 tries to get the Zmax to root. Just don't give up

Yes you can. The original person who found that tying up ram helped king didn't even run AnTuTu. They ran an emulated Final Fantasy game along with something else. AnTuTu is just something someone else posted to easily tie up the system ram. I will go find exactly what it was and come back and post it
 
The trick was run Antutu Benchmark and when it neared 10 percent I ran King Root (the English version) from the desktop shortcut . Then I went back into the Antutu Benchmark UI which would not allow the screen to timeout. When the device rebooted and began to enter the OS I immediately ran Antutu, then deleted the cache and data for king root and ran king root immediately again. This time the device did not reboot. To my surprise as I have tried repeatedly like many others I was expecting failure but after running root check I was indeed rooted.

By the way please share the apps that have been deleted that will not crash the OS. FYI if you remove the system launcher you must push the replacement launcher as a system app. If not when you factory reset there will be no launcher and your device will crash.

Hey man, sorry it took so long, I have literally been reading through HUNDREDS of pages on XDA and just found it.

I ran CounterSpy and FinalFantasay Type-0 in the PPSSPP v1.0.1-411 emulator. I would not advise downloading Type-0 just to test it. That game is nearly 3gigs LoL

You could also try the Dolphin emulator Alpha in the Play Store. That emu is still in early stages and is pretty demanding on the processor.

The antutu benchmark/kingroot method worked. However I had to use an older version of KR and I had to wait until antutu was 22% exactly. This is when it tests multiple cores, as soon as it starts that part I switched to KR and tapped the root button. Due to the test it should lag slightly, tap the button an insane number of times and u should see the progress indicator shoot up to 70% rapidly. It may reboot, only took me three tries.
 
Iv gotten this to work 3 times so far, I wasnt getting any results running kingroot when antutu benchmark reached 10%, kingroot would reboot my phone at 17-20%, but I noticed every once in a while, after failing to root, the phone would start back up super laggy, and thats when I would get it to work. After it reboots, and its lagging run antutu right away, and then clear kingroots data and cache, it takes some time since its a bit unresponsive, but after that it would get to 59% and tell me that it failed to root, but it actually passed, also I dont know if this matters but, I wouldnt let the screen timeout while on kingroot, I would tape the screen every few seconds, but it would go black anyway once it hit 59%, after waking it back up, I was rooted. Since I noticed this it took me about 30 tries for the 1st phone 10 for the 2nd, and 3 for the 3rd. Hope this helps.
 
So I got it to root successfully once, but all the Google Apps and services kept crashing until the phone rebooted itself and lost root. Is root supposed to survive the reboot?

I just got it successfully a second time, but this time none of my apps recognize the device as rooted and can use root permissions. The KingUser app shows rooted, but the KingRoot app still asks to root it. Hmmm.
