Kingroot works for rooting this device... however... It is not worth rooting as there is no support or development for this phone, and the software verizon puts on it is just crap. This is the 3rd or 4th Brigadier my GF has had now because the software turns to mush it develops reboot and freezing issues... Kyorcera is crap they came up with a hard to kill on the outside phone and put a barely useable system inside... with new update can no longer charge phone when pluggin it in. It says on the phone this phone can be charged wirelessly... never seen that before... to be frank this one is going back to verizon and gonna make them give up a samsung in its stead...
