It doesn't work? Try meefik's Busybox, the creator of Linux Deploy recommend people to use this, which I did, and try again, if that doesn't work then can you tell me what happens in PM.
You need busybox for any of the root functions to work at all, busybox is a set of commands that lucky patcher and other apps utilize, I like this app to install busybox.
Even though I absolutely abhor it, try using kingroot http://www.kingroot.net/ it works on other kyocera hydro variants, but beware the purify option. The purify option has been known to cause some low spec phones to bug out and become unresponsive. (Not recommended without a factory or thirdparty restore option) But kingroot's purify can be uninstalled and ignored, so just keep that in mind.
If kingroot is successful, use the busybox installer from meefix in the app store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox Its the only one I've found works with kingroot.
Once you have successfully got root and busybox installed, congratulations you are now root on your phone, becareful and make backups!
edit: the Purify error is not just "I need to reboot my phone its frizting out" more like "damn I can't use this P@$ anymore, even after a reboot!"
