I don't know what to tell you, it may just be something with kingroot, I've used superSU to replace superuser, at those times the way it is done is to install one before getting rid of the other, root is retained after removing the original. I'm not sure why it isn't working that way with kinguser, get full root back, get your recovery flashed back, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik then restore your nandroid backup, this should take you back to what you had to begin with before you tried superSU. Once you are restored try leaving kingroot alone, install superSU, make sure they aren't conflicting then before you remove kingroot boot to recovery and flash the su zip just to be sure then boot back to system and try getting rid of kingroot(dont select the unroot option, just delete it) make sure you get recovery fixed and restore your original backup before you try switching su and kingroot.

Android 4.2+ Developer Options after Enabling it

Hello. ;)

Is there a way to reverse the 7-Times tap of the Biuld Number somehow in Android? (Stock Android, TouchWiz, XperiaUI, HTC Sense, Oppo Colour OS, Huawei Émotion UI, SOny UI, all other UIs)

(Don't show Developer Options anymore)

-→ Like it's been,

I'm sure there is but whats the point of reversing it? Its not like its a real hassle or anything. But hey, when you get it let me know what you did.
[General Questions and Answers] :
You can disable Developer Options by sliding the slider (see the screenshot below) to the "Off" position.

You cannot completely "re-hide" Developer Options without factory resetting.

Thanks for reading. The carrier is boost and I am getting sprint updates to the device. On a previous device it would up date like that with no problems but with this note 2 it wont take. I want to update badly to 4.3 or higher but am afraid of loosing carrier flash to device. Is there a certain method I should use to update and keep carrier flash?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not sure, it would be best if you could find other users with your device that have switched carriers then updated their phones with custom ROMs or stock updates to see if it caused a problem with their carrier flash, I never modded a device that had been carrier switched so I don't know.

If you trust kinguser and it works fine with all your apps and how you use your device then just leave kinguser and go with it, seems to be your only option from what you are describing, as long as you're rooted and have superuser control you'll be fine.

Hmm, well that's good to know, glad I haven't tried it yet, I guess its a good thing he'll be using it on his stock (unless his stock is lollipop).

Never really played with Xposed, most ROMs are cool enough and the the low-mid devices I've had that didn't already have cool ROMs wouldn't really make good use of any of the modules, I've been more satisfied with using ROMs than I have been using Xposed.

You might can just go back and start fresh with your device, start fresh with kingroot then after kinguser is installed, install superSU then uninstall kingroot, that is supposed to work, don't know why you are having issues, probably becsuse you lost root the first time you tried, it wouldn't act right after that because its confused. Start over like new get kinguser then superSU and uninstall kinguser(don't unroot, just uninstall), this should leave superSU properly in its place and you'll have root, or if you start fresh and you get kinguser installed with no superSU then just leave it alone.

Ok guys, how do I post a zip file in Tapatalk? I can do it fine through browser but can't get it on tapa
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
Yup already been there done that. Even after kinguser grants superSU permissions and I try to uninstall king user I still get the errors I mentioned. If try to install the superSU binaries after uninstalling king user I get "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again." Thats after king user is removed from the system with superSU installed. If try right after reflash I'll get ""There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device " And there was a couple times I was still able to keep root after flash but it still gives me "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again." And thats with king user removed and superSU installed. Even when king user is removed it removes root, and the only way to get it back is to use kingroot. Once you reroot with kingroot kinguser automatically opens up in the apps menu and it goes right to it. It prompts for an update in king user(which I didn't do a few times because I figured thats where superSU should come in and install its binaries if I opened superSU and tried to install/update the binaries once again I got the same "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again." Right now I'm at the point where superSU # is saying to update the binaries in my dropdown notification panel/menu/alerts and its also prompting me to upgrade the Kinguser version as well?? In es file explorer with root explorer enabled in the System Apps menu I see superSU # and not king user which before I was seeing the big R for the king user. With that said I believe that superSU is somehow in the system but the binaries aint installing because I think king user aint fully removed(even though it aint in the system and I was able to remove it by standard removal means) It still shows up in my apps and prompts for an upgrade and goes directly to kinguser the app itself if I reroot with kingroot. I'm still getting permissions from it I just haven't upgraded Kinguser and the superSU binaries can't/won't install so I imagine any kind of permissons I'm getting, and obviously the permissions which got granted to superSU came from king user.

In the end I'll probably just leave king user and things the way they are. Its giving me a headache trying to remove it. Maybe I'll wait for another rooting app, or a custom rom or just see what people in general are doing/going to do with these tabs. As always if anybody got some wisdom please do share. And thanks again for the help bro.

P.S. You mentioned "start fresh with kingroot then after kinguser is installed, install superSU then uninstall kingroot, that is supposed to work"

Is it kingroot I'm supposed to uninstall or king user? I'm trying to uninstall kinguser. Not sure if its one or the other or both?

Recently switched to android, Need few Suggestions

I was using IOS devices till last year, and decided to move to android environment this January. As of today I am satisfied with Android devices in general, but I need few apps recommendations as in iOS devices (after jailbreak) I was using an app from Cydia known as Slices, which enables iOS devices to use multiple Snapchat and WhatsApp account, even for games simultaneously without any hassle. In android

I haven't found anything similar to Slices, the only app which lets me do this by only rebooting my phone each time, to access the multiple accounts.

So I need to know is their any application available on android which provides the same functionality as slices ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sorry, misspoke there, uninstall kinguser, you should be able to boot to recovery and do a system format (not a normal wipe or factory reset but a FULL system format to wipe everything, check in to how safe it is with your device and whether your nandroid backup will restore properly without killing something important with the system format) this should wipe completely clean anything you've done or anything that is trying to hang around after a normal wipe and reset, as long as its safe for you to format like that then nothing should be left and restoring your backup should take you back to what you had when you first rooted and installed kinguser/before trying superuser the first time. Be VERY careful because a system format does screwy things on some devices. Once you get back to what you had originally with nothing from trying superSU hanging around in system, then you should just be able to normally install superSU with binaries and proper permissions then uninstall kinguser as you would if you were switching from su to superSU. You really need some feedback from your fellow users with your device though, their personal experiences will help you more.
[General Questions and Answers] Milan As:
Hy guys. My Pipo S1 pro got hard bricked so i did a little research how to unbrick it. So tablet did not respond when i push the power button or any other button. My comp didnt recognise the tablet when I plugged it into computer. I opened it up and short pinned NAND chip. Then computer detect it but didn't install the drivers for it so i installed it manually. Computer detect it as a Rockusb Device with exclamation mark. In RKBatchTool i have a blue box, I try to use switch button but got an error. In RKAndroidTool v.1.37 on the bottom writes "Found Rkandroid MaskRom mode" but when i press "EraseIDB" after few second message pops up "Erasing IDB failed".

Can you guys help me because i'm out of ideas... Sorry for my bad English
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
Thanks for everything bro.

I actually already did a full System Format and I get the same thing. Its like as soon as I root with kingroot like it almost installs the binaries at the same time its doing the rooting process when that little circle is spinning to root it. I've did everything we've discussed and its not working. Its not su or anything but I think think some others have had problems with these "Custom Rooting Apps" or whatever you would refer to kingroot as. I'll prob just leave it as is and wait till I hear anymore feedback on anything. Maybe a thread will pop up in regards to it, or they'll start a subforum for these devices or something. I know somebody mentioned about getting one started so I'll wait and see. If they get a little more popular then maybe so. In the end I didn't like having both su's in my notifications panel, and since superSU don't want to go for anything I went ahead and went into king user and updated its binaries/software version of the app and it went fine. After that I used king user to uninstall superSU and now I'm back to normal kingroot mode which I'll just leave. Lookout flagged no viruses so I'm good with that. Only thing that was a little concerning was the warning I got in Titanium backup about " Your SU binary (version "Unknown") is functional but might not work reliably on some android 4.3+ roms ( I'm stock rooted 4.4.2 kitkat so no rom here) if you encounter any issues in TB, please try SuperSU instead". I would try superSU instead if I could::p

Anyway thanks dude. I'll just keep an eye out. I didn't actually realize there was a thread here http://xdaforums.com/android/general/root-custom-recovery-rca-pro-10-t2955541 in which the user tells how he got superSU installed. Although he said it was a bit of a mess it worked. I could do that if I'm feeling adventurous although everythings fine now and I could leave things the way they are as king user seems to have been working fine for my apps I've used it with. This specific tab is like six months old. This Second version came out around november I think, so their fairly new. Haven't been in the game long enough to really get messed with yet. lol!! :o Either that or they didn't get popular enough to get messed with. lol!!

P.S Actually didn't realize I posted in that thread. I'm going to bed its late over here. lol!!
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here, (I'm not reading back through everything because my head is killing me), but rca tablets are very easy to root and modify. They're not very popular so they're not going to take off like Samsung, lg, or nexus, but you can get root access, busybox, xposed, and other stuff to work on your tablet so you can make it like a device with a custom ROM. Several of my younger children have rca tablets and I've tweaked then out quite nicely for them. After you gain root with kingo, you can download and install a lot of Apps, but updating your su binary and other goodies will have to be done via adb since (last I checked), we don't have cwm or twrp for our rca tabs. If you catch me up via pm on what exactly you're trying to do, I'll reply back on here helping you the best I can. I won't reply via pm, but I don't want to dirty up the thread with a private conversation, there's already too much of that in here.

Yo Megaflop666

[MENTION=5867243]Megaflop666[/MENTION] Im not doing anything particular. I just was trying to remover king user su and replace with superSU. I might be able to if I fiddle around, but I have no particular reason are anything in general. Already got busy box, xposed and the usual done. Theres actually custom recovery out for it. TWRP is flashed and works wonderfully on mine. Ive had about 2-3 bootloops that I recovered from with TWRP. I used kingroot and it installed king user and I was trying to remove it and have been having a hard time doing so. I imagine if I do a full unroot/factory restore, or even a dalvik wipe/ cache wipe and reroot with another app or another way, I'm thinking I could get superSU installed and its binaries updated correctly. Dab never worked for it always says trying to recognize device or unrecognized device. It worked when I had fully installed it the long way. Once I had restored my computer after I put in a new hdd and upgraded the os, I tried the one click adb installer and it never worked. I think the whole key is rerooting with another app, but I'm not worried cause everything seems in place and working now. Kernel aditoir adaway and even all them other ones work. Don't know if I want to really go that far as everything seems to be working and theres really not anything super demanding or anything Im trying to do. It was more of an experiment more then anything. I can always do a stock-restore-nadnroid backup if I have to. Thanks to everyone thats helped me. I don't think its really super necessary to remove king user, just thought I'd try it. I imagine if I did the steps like these guys on this thread here http://xdaforums.com/android/general/root-custom-recovery-rca-pro-10-t2955541 I would end up with the same result. I could but don't know if I want too. Everythings working good enough for me now so I might just leave it. Maybe one day king user will catch up with superSU. Thats not to say I might do one of these guys methods just to try it out. Like N_psycho_PD_uh? said its fun and experimentation right? I'm loving it :o

[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Glad to hear twrp has a recovery for it. Might have to play with the kids tablets while they're at school. For adb to work, you have to make sure you have the correct drivers installed. I'll try to find the link again. As far as adb install on your computer, the one click install doesn't work sometimes, but if you have it install the executable, you can drop to c:\adb and use adb (if you're using Windows), if you're on a Linux machine is even easier.

If you have twrp, have you downloaded the latest SuperSU 2.45 from the XDA thread and flashed via recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
I got adb to work that way. Whats weird is it won't recognize my device, yet I was able to push some standard commands so it sort of worked. I know it worked when I had d/l the android sdk and did the long install instead of the one click installer. One click installer must not be installing the drivers all the way/properly/correctly. But I did the c:\adb drop and still same thing in the end. I don't know if I wanna go through the whole effort of that again. EVerytings fine, xposed, busy box, root etc etc. Maybe in the future i'll do another full system format and reroot with another app and get superSU like that. No prob really. I'm up and running and rooted, custom recovery works good, busy box and xposed so I'm actually good. Thanks to all the heads that responded. I might get adventurous and do another full system format, and reroot with another app, and just give it a go for the heck of it. I'll let you guys know my results/questions if I do that.

P.S I should be messing with linux from the get go. I got Fedora 19 partition on my tower with windows 7, and my mBP triple boots windows 8.1,os x and ubuntu 14.04 lts, just never bothered to adb from there :p Not that I think it matters cause in the end even when adb was working I still got the same results. Really in the end I think I'm being more particular then I need to be. But I guess thats how we learn. From doing all this stuff right? lol!! :)
