Kingo Android Root is a well-designed, aesthetically pleasing application for Windows based computers that forgoes the device specific route, and offers rooting for a lot of Android devices from a variety of manufacturers. Supported phones include the likes of Google Nexus lineup, several HTC devices including HTC One, One X, One V, Droid Eris, Motorola Defy, a number of Samsung phones, popular LG devices and some smartphones from Sony. It offers a true one-click root experience, where you have to just download the application, install it, connect your device and click Root.

​

There are a few things that you need to be mindful of. When connecting your device, you need to have USB Debugging enabled in Android settings. There’s no requirement for pre-installed device drivers, as the software will take care of that for you. In fact, it will give you the Root option only after the drivers have been properly configured. Past that, all you have to do is hit the Root button, and let the application work its magic.

The app pushes SuperSU binaries which are slightly outdated, but get instantly updated to the new version thanks to Google Play. However, it won’t install a custom recovery, so that part you’ll have to take care of manually. Kingo Android Root supports Android versions up to 4.3.

So, can someone please explain the reason why this thread was closed, and then re-opened!? And what was all that talk about security issues, sending data to chinese servers, etc.!?
[One (M7) Android Development] superchilpil:
Rooting our device without a unlocked bootloader is pointless

The kernel implements write protection that prevents you from making any changes to the system partition

You're better off unlocking your bootloader and taking the slightly longer but right route to root your device.
[One (M7) Android Development] rvc:
I agree. Someone at XDA closed the thread, and they had a reason. And someone at XDA reopened it. Why?

What gives with this Kingo software? It's a slick site. It's free. It's simple. It roots different phones. And it does not appear to be sensitive to OTA updates. If the DLVR root required an exploit to work, and ATT issues an OTA update that closed the exploit but the Kingo root just breezes right by it all of it, what gives.
[One (M7) Android Development] antolfredo:
these work on one x + ?:confused:
[One (M7) Android Development] cokey77:
just downloaded this software but googled it first before using and this has been said to have a lot of flags for this software.it is said to send imei number to chinese servers as well as other info and a few other things so until i know this is ok to use its a no go and would advice caution to anyone wanting to use this.
[One (M7) Android Development] viktorak:
Hi guys,someone with Samsung Galaxy s 3 LTE has root with this software?I am from Spain.

Another thing, this will change the status of Knox?Thank´s!
[One (M7) Android Development] Bllooi:
CAUTION : DO NOT USE. The app requires full internet connection as you can test. It sends data about your phone to servers in China (IMEIs and Serial Numbers). It was said to be removed in version 2.0 but do not trust it.
[One (M7) Android Development] cokey77:
So is this software ok to use now and does it work clarification on this would be nice .
[One (M7) Android Development] K-alz:
I used it on my note 3 and nothing happened. And didn't see any cops at my door. People just keep making up things. I don't know where this sending data to China come from. They can't do anything with that number. Cops are not that stupid. LOL
[One (M7) Android Development] Dioky:
Hi all,

Come on you all, let's face it!

I think data possibly (as nothing is proven, only rumors) going to China is about as bad as leaving it on USA servers and NSA saving and mining it all for their own purposes of which we know nothing about either. :eek:

I happily used Kingo on quite some phones now, all to my satisfaction :victory:

Regards,
[One (M7) Android Development] Jonny:
It was proven and the makers of this app were contacted and have subsequently fixed the issues XDA moderation had with it, hence why this thread is open ;)

Regardless, using this application is somewhat pointless on the international version of the HTC One because HTC supply a bootloader unlocking tool which enables us to flash a custom recovery, from there we can install SuperSU in flashable zip format, gaining root access. We do not need the exploits contained in KingoRoot to gain root access. KingoRoot is designed for devices where the manufacturer isn't as kind as HTC and so exploits are needed to gain root access.
[One (M7) Android Development] afraaa:
anyone tried htc bootloader unlocking or toot with this device ? please share if u did
[One (M7) Android Development] seqas:
yea both unlock & root. worked just fine for me) found the normal way [MENTION=223784]HTC[/MENTION] dev confusing and some intimidating back then

which was why i used this and why i know it work as well :p
[One (M7) Android Development] afraaa:
thanks . what is your phone model ? u did unlocked it ?
[One (M7) Android Development] seqas:
you welcome :) htc one m7ul , yes unlocked & rooted
[One (M7) Android Development] imfuzzyyy:
I used this kingoroot for unlocking my bootloader then use toolkit for installing custom recovery
[One (M7) Android Development] afraaa:
anyonce faced losing IMEI !? someone said that on a thread and he was not expert .. will appreciate ant feedback by thanks
[One (M7) Android Development] flipmode_11:
That conversation up top is funny :D

IMEI is like a MAC address. There are only so many in the world!

I have purchased 10+ network cards in the past, and YES, had the

SAME \ IDENTICAL

MAC address on

both

network cards :\

So it's not the end of the world if someone get's your IMEI... I would be ****MORE CONCERNED**** with all the other crap software we download! They all have access to this and web access! No one can hack anything! No one can do fraud! No one can steal your data! Got it???

To prevent other applications distributing your info, use AFWall+ to block applications that simply don't require internet access (90% of them!)... The others you can remove permissions or rebuild APK's.

QUESTION

Have any other Galaxy S4 users (i9500 \ i9505 etc) had issues with a stock new phone and problems with KNOX rooting?

KINGO says success. Done it twice. However, SuperSU and KingoSU both say they are unable to update binaries (or along those lines)... :(

Thanks for any help!

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Wait, wait, wait. How do you know if you have an unlocked bootloader? I thought only stupid manufacturers did that?

Can you please provide a link to a step-by-step guide for first Checking if locked -or- Unlocking the bootloader for Galaxy S4? i9505\i9500

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillybizzle:
Long story short...I was screwing around in the engineering menu on my Note 2,(SCH-R950) and accidentally hit something and my signal bar will not go past 1 bar. I seem to have 4GLTE connection. But when i switch to CDMA only the bars start to light up. Is there anyway to reset that menu back to defaults? I have ODIN back to stock and that didn't help.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
when i was still using wm2003se; i could change the default sounds by simply overwriting the existing one with another wav file (by renaming it to the same as that of the default). example; if i wanted to use a specific wav file i renamed it to "default", copied n pasted it on windows of the ppc, question would come up if i wanted to replace, click yes and there you go.

i tried doing this with wm2005 and it said something like "write protected". question; is there a way around this? do i go for unlocking the ext rom?

cheers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asaqwert:
So this is a pretty weird problem here.... I've noticed that whenever I'm browsing these forums on my Note 3 (it also seemed to happen sometimes on the sgs3 as well) I will run into this problem. What happens is when I go to a page that lists threads or forums, so a device's main page, the main forum page, or a forum itself, the page loads fine but when I actually try to interact, be it zoom in so that I can see things easier, or scroll down, or even click a search box, the whole page will begin to reload. Then once reloaded, half the time I can use the page without it happening again (all though hardly ever on the sgs3) and the other half of the time it would just happen again. The only way to keep it from happening that I found is to simply load the page, then when I go to interact with it I just do so near the top of the page so that if the thing starts to reload then I can quickly tap on the x button to stop it. If I do this then it won't bother me again like that on that page. I can scroll or type or whatever. But as soon as I go to another forum, device page, or even the next page of the same forum, the same thing , will happen.

Does anyone know why this is happening and any way to correct it? Is it an issue with chrome itself, as this only seems to happen on chrome, but my issue there is that I like chrome abd o especially like the way my bookmarks settings and passwords are shares across my own personal devices. So any ideas to fix this? It's driving me nuts! Oh and yes I know I could use the app but I'm just not that fond of it. I've even bought the premium one to support the forum a little but I'd just rather use the browser. Thanks for any help....I'm sure some others are experiencing this issue.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tony yayo:
Using stock browser on my Note 10.1 it does this every time I try to use the XDA search. Havent tried it on my N3 though.

Anyone know how come the N3 stock browser acts like Chrome when you zoom? I cant figure out how to have the text format to the page either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimmydigital00:
I shut off Java on the mobile chrome browser and this issue stopped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asaqwert:
I like having java though that's such a limiting way to deal with the problem

Where is this button Tony it's talking about? I don't remember seeing any buttons hardly in chrome.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Yep happens to me too. I can't stand it. I find Firefox works best. It never refreshes like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asaqwert:
Yea every other browser works fine except chrome it Is stupid as all get out.... what can be done to fix it I don't want to stop using Chrome because I use the bookmarks all the time etc.... it's just much easier for me to use Chrome for like 99 percent of the stuff that I do.... so any ideas? What is this auto reload feature that one guy was talking about? I've never heard of or seen it anywhere in chrome...has anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ilostchild:

and I've got the premium version. I don't like the layout as much as the website(when it works)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] asaqwert:
Thanks....at least that fixes it.... though you lose a couple features I guess it is what it is until they fix it that is.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jequan:
Thanks for the workaround. I also bought the premium app and i feel ripped off because it is really, really bad.

They should not activate a default setting that is bugged on a browser most users browse these forums with!

Accidentally flashed international version of a rom. Now i can get into recovery and fastboot, but can't get a rom to run properly. It'll start and go to a black screen with the status bar showing. Is there a 3.04 RUU out? I already took the update and have no idea how to get my phone going again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
You're ok... All you have to do is run the old RUU In fastboot. OMJ has the thread laying around here somewhere. It's the 1.29.651.10 RUU. It's saved my ass many times
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bleichtman:
Only problem is I'm s-on and already took the update
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
You can flash the new firmware with fastboot. Note it needs to be the full firmware, not the one that says s-off only. You are s-on so you can only flash unmodified firmwares. You may need to reflash the recovery too

Here's a link for the full firmware

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880933344

make sure your TWRP is @ 2.6.3

rename to firmware.zip, flash from bootloader

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Fastboot reboot

I dropped my XDA IIi, I've been luckier than many as the phone is fine, the only thing that isn't fine is that the touch screen and the LCD have become misaligned.

There's no problem with the majority of the screen because I just re-aligned it with the screen aligning software, but theres a 3mm or so are on the left of the screen that will not work due, I assume, to the screen slipping when dropped.

How easy is it to fix?

HI all,

Just bought a Z1 (Nova Launcher installed) and have noticed that when I'm on a call and bring up the keypad to make a selection (ie: 'Choose 1 for more options"), I cannot see the numbers that are being inputted.

Hello :D

So, i flashed 4.3 Leak with all of the package selected to my i9500 (MJ5, with all selected , such as modem, bl, csc)

and these are my questions

1. if i flashed another modem/CSC using odin, will it trip my KNOX warranty? i.e , DX code modem (I9500DXUEMJ5) , and my country's CSC(I9500OLBEMJ5)

2. if i upgrade to higher version if it is available (MJ6 for example, if it is already available), using odin, will it trip the warranty?

Thanks :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
What firmware was on the phone?

MDB/MDL or MF3?

If MF3, you have softbricked your phone and may need to go to Best Buy to have it fixed.

Review the Stickies in the General section about MF3 (if you haven't already).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Grona:
Looks like I'm mf3 but I'm still able to use my phone normally.

Is there a different unlocking method or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rayburne:
Good to hear you didn't soft brick your phone.

MF3 has a locked bootloader that no one has cracked yet.

Read through MF3 stickies in both the General and Q&A sections for more info.

Long story short, you can Root the phone then use Safestrap as your recovery to install custom roms.

BEFORE you make assumptions that I'm crazy for installing something that shouldn't work correctly...

I have found a way to install aircrack-ng suite on Ubuntu (works) via my i9505 kernal galaxy s4 by this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2338179

This is done by way of:

• An OTG Cable -- (Micro USB male to USB female)

• A wireless network Adapter

• aircrack-ng in Ubuntu chroot, getting your devices kernal (by doing so on a Linux PC), and including

So, I installed Ubuntu chroot correctly, I got on terminal and did:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev nano
wget http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-1.1.tar.gz

make
Sudo make install

You can run aircrack natively on android because it is unix..that's what the guys at that project are doing. But you'll need patched drivers from that project when it is released.

Since you really really want to... i'm trying to think of other ideas for you.

If it's worth it you can buy old phone for $50-100 and use that for your testing...

Any of the phones listed on the broadcom project page are good. So GS1 or GS2..

Or, according to this site you can use a Nokia N900

http://aircrack-ng.blogspot.com/2012/02/aircrack-ng-on-phones-android-iphone.html

Or, possibly cheaper, buy a external wifi card for your phone and do it like this guy
