Root success with KingoRoot
KingoRoot can root the S800, download this:
http://d.kingoapp.com/default/KingoRoot.apk
It is a one-click solution, if that doesn't work or freeze the box, reboot and try again.
Some app from China will request root access, please DENY it as we don't know what they do.
WARNING! Once you root, you can't get OTA update. I will have to publish the updated ROM manually in the future for that so you can flash it. We'll see and please have the Recovery SD made and kept aside just in case you brick the box.

I've also tried iRoot, 360Root, TowelRoot and Framaroot. None worked.
Is there a custom recovery that we can flash via update.zip somehow, so we can install SuperSu via recovery?
WHAT Stock Firmware Version you used ? or date ???
I used Kingroot and I had to have it done twice to get it to go, but then I don't feel I am getting much out of rooting it unless I need to explorer the device. It also makes OTA update not possible because the patch won't apply until to restore to stock.
I have the S800 Plus and it worked for me.
Sadly, I left the box unused because I was tired of it. lol
I had to re-flash the firmware in order to get OTA updates.
