How do you root a Kyocera hydro icon C6730 with KitKat 4.4.2?

I have searched and tried many options but nothing seems to touch my phone for rooting.

Hey benny920!
I've merged your posts into this thread seeing as folks are still inquiring about dev support, or root for the device.
I took a brief look around, but didn't come up with anything. I'll search some more later tonight, but perhaps some folks here may be able to assist

Thank you for the reply. I really hope something will come out soon. I can't stand not being able to write to my SD card with third party apps anymore. I've lost so many pictures and drawings I've done and more because files become corrupt.

If anyone finds a boot loader that can unlock the Kyocera hydro icon c6730. Please drop a line to me. Thank you.

This is a link I found but I don't fully understand step 8. Download supersu go into setting and make it a system folder. I don't see anything in setting that would allow me to make a folder for SuperSU. I can make a folder with a file managing app or on PC but not the way it tells me to.

@benny920 Could you assist me in rooting this phone with 4.4.2 on it? I have searched high and low and haven't found a way and I don't know how to revert this phone back to JB, would odin work? It's for a friend of mine but I don't want to brick his device trying either lol

There is no root available at this time, someone tell Ben to calm down

There is root. You have to use KingoRoot for PC though.... I don't like KingoRoot software >..>

But once your done, get SUPERSUME or use a Terminal Shell and get SuperSU manually
