just received my white one.

it came with 2 dents on the right side. bummer.

there's a molding line around the case that's sharp. it cuts my finger when i'm holding it.

i have to use a penknife to smooth out the edges.

personally i like bigger cutouts around the buttons, the cutouts on this is pretty tight around it.

this makes the buttons flush with the case and thus it's difficult to press the button to wake up my phone.

you can't see the nexus logo under normal light, it's only showing in the pics using flash light.

overall it's 4/10 for me.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] finalhit:
Just got mine. Not quite sure if I like it. Very plasticky texture.

Snug fit except the bottom. I can see dirt getting in from there.

I don't think the case itself can scratch the phone though.

Just got mine in after waiting forever for it to get here from China.... and it's defective, of course. It's all warped by the volume rocker and looks like crap. This is a VERY cheaply made case. Even if it wasn't warped I'd probably never use it. It is super thin, which is nice, but it is among the lowest quality cases I've ever bought. Just a cheap, flimsy, POS.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abdel12345:
Wow I'm glad I didn't make the impulse buy then. Thanks for that. At least you didn't lose much but I know how you feel waiting for something and finding out it sucks and can't be used.

Is Kingo Android Root application SAFE ?:confused:

Many people are scratching their heads thinking whether Kingo's application is safe or not:confused:

So this thread is made for everyone who is in a dilemma about the applications usage, Ban and removal of ban from XDA's thread and rooting their phones with the kingo app without any hassle (NOOBS GUIDE FOR ROOTING).

So, I contacted kingo for support and information and they came up with a very satisfactory explanation about their application which has been attached below.

Moreover, some people are still concerned about the ban and thread that was closed by XDA, for their information the thread was opened and this application was declared as SAFE to use.:good:

Final verdict from my side is, every one who is afraid of flashing kernels for rooting (like auto-root) and the people who are concerned with KNOX warranty (MOST PEOPLE did not trip their knox warranty) should use this simple root & unroot tool to get the administrative privileges on their device.

Enjoy rooting :D
[General Questions and Answers] androidkitkat14:
not a good experience for me.

I did Follow all steps, everything was going good up until my note 3 reboot and reboot over and over, when kingo said successfully rooted, it didn't work that way, instead to my surprise, when finally hard reset it, came to find out that it tripped knox, and have my warranty voided, this is my personal experience and wanted to share with you all.

[General Questions and Answers] Angjinhang:
Well Kingo Root helped me to root my SGA+ whereas others failed, including Odin. Didn't have any problems until now, and the only advice I can say is just use the computer to do the rooting work. I never believed that on the fly rooting is working on any branded phone.
[General Questions and Answers] altgraubart:
Well, Kingo was the only tool that managed to root my phone.

After putting my hands on 20 or 30 devices, this was the toughest rooting.

(Alps - GT-i9502)

Now, if I were an employee of General Dynamics or Boeing, I might be a little cautious given how the way the tool looks up the method;

basically, anything could be happening under the covers and it could happen on a case-by-case basis.

But since I'm pretty uninteresting from an industrial espionage perspective, I'd say it was worth it.

[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
Kingo has gone apes#&t AGAIN!

I've been using Kingo Root for well over a year now. It keeps asking to install most recent version of the program every time you run it on your desktop. I have kept accepting the new updates as I was assuming that the reason for all these updates was because they kept adding root methods for new models of phones and most recent OS versions of Android.

I just updated to VERSION 1.3.6 within the last couple weeks.

Yesterday, I rooted a friend's phone (Huawei Y320) and Kingo rooted as usual without any problems. HOWEVER, when I went to look for the SuperSU app (from Chainfire) which it normally installs on the phone ... IT WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!! Instead, there was a KINGO USER super user app instead. But that was not the real issue. I noticed the following problems which I NEVER have seen prior to yesterday:

1. Kingo User BLOCKS the Chainfire SuperSU app from installing its binaries and replacing Kingo User.

2. In the program's status window on the desktop, I could see that it was downloading A LOT OF STUFF! Normally, it will download just a couple of packets of root payload and then say ROOT SUCCEEDED after checking the root status. This time, it downloaded so many packets of payload, I lost count!

3. After rooting, there was a bunch of other Chinese crap that was installed by the Kingo Root program on the phone including INSIDE THE SYSTEM FOLDERS. Wtf????

4. I noticed that immediately after root, the phone started making a ton of connections to the internet. The activity was off the charts! I could not even do a Google Search with the phone because Google complained that a lot of query activity was emanating from the phone! What on earth it's trying to do via the internet activity is anyone's guess. WHY ALL THE INTERNET ACTIVITY KINGO?

I think Kingo Root has done an end run around XDA Developers. I am now EXTREMELY suspicious of this program and I strongly suggest others be extremely careful too. I also would like some Senior Members of XDA to chime in here.

At this point I suggest you NOT update Kingo Root to the latest version which is 1.3.6. It appears to be a TROJAN HORSE for rogue Chinese software. It is not simply installing binaries any longer.

KINGO ROOT MUST BE RE-EXAMINED BY XDA-DEVELOPERS. IS IT STILL SAFE?????????????

I've been using Kinguser for sometime now in my Xperia C, using it to root my phone is my last resort at that time :) i also tried other rooting app like Framaroot and it worked for a while then problems comes out after a few days of using it, i forgot what are those problems but that's why it caused me to research other rooting app and came up with Kinguser, i remember it was installed automatically by the application in 1st attachment and until now i didn't encounter any problems yet, im still observing it because as i search and read about Kinguser, it is creating some hidden stuff in android system, it shown in 2nd attachment, its activity is shown in 3rd to last attachment, please let me know what are your thoughts about this app, it seems fine with me. :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
I'm still observing the Kingo User

But Kinguser and Kingo User are not the same! I have heard that the Kinguser app is the mobile version on Kingo Root desktop program, so it MAY be that these are from the same source. However, in my experience, King User comes from rooting with the iRoot (former vRoot) desktop program, and Kingo User comes from using the Kingo Root desktop program. It's possible that there are other sources which use provide root access with these same superusers.

In any event, I have allowed the Kingo User on one of my friends phones (to see what if anything it ends up doing) instead of flashing the SuperSU BETA version 2.49 from Chainfire which employs a script to replace the Kingo User (AND Kinguser too) . So far so good for my friend. If there are any issues I will flash the SuperSU beta to eliminate the "king".

lately kingo only installs Kinguser.... and kinguser is making it very difficult to uninstall itself...
[General Questions and Answers] flipmode_11:
Yes it is safe to use. Smashed my S2 in under 10 mins from visiting their site.

However my S4 is having issues. Spontaneous Reboots etc. It is not 100% rooted. Stock Galaxy S4 i9505 with 4.4.2

It says Kingo cannot install the binaries due to Samsung's KNOX. So I open KNOX and try and backup and uninstall, but it just has "Welcome....." and animated start-up. Then changes screens and continues initiating. Then it just closes and dumps me back where I was before!!! WTF? SuperSU is unable to install binaries too...

So how the hell do I get this to work? I have executed the root process once again, but doen't appear to make a difference.

When I reboot with VOL Down, I see "ODIN" in red and text. I was a bit worried about the KNOX_WARRANTY_VOID = 0x1 (True)!!!

I would really appreciate any advice or step-by-step info on what I should do. I have\had 18months warranty left on this, but looks irreversible with this Knox biatch!

note:

some things that do not require SU for root access work (e.g. 2 way call recording). But anything that requires elevated access, just fails. E.g. Root Checker says YES, ROOTED, but below it has issues with permissions and access.... :(

Thank you

ON ERROR, REPEAT ROOT PROCESS.

The issue I had above was due to dodgy USB connection. After paying $50 to get it replaced, it rooted in under 15 mins.

ATTENTION

IF YOU USE SAMSUNG WITH KNOX PRE-INSTALLED, TRY AND REMOVE KNOX BEFORE ANY ROOTING STEPS!

IF YOU ALREADY ROOTED WITH KNOX STILL INSTALLED, KINGO SUPERUSER WORKS GREAT!

BUT SUPERSU 2.4.x CAN STILL BE USED IF YOU FLASH ZIP AND USE "Super Sume" (Android Market / Google Play).

Seriously zero issues so far with Kingo SuperUser. ZERO.

Titanium Backup has a warning as it notices it is not SuperSU.

I use AFWALL+ and only allow chosen apps to internet. Not even SuperSU had network access on my S2! Nor does Kingo SuperUser on my S4.

Hmm..

WELL, this has been an informative morning to read up on Kingo, so muc h so I finally made myself an account! Personally from everything I'm seeing I'm glad Kingo hadn't yet succeeded to root my phone, I was going to try it with pc later, but honestly I've become so skeptical of all the one click apps that shorten the length of the process that I don't even feel safe to download them any further. Especially after one seemed to try and pump several applications into my system last night without my knowledge or without tripping so much as a notification, I'd like to say which but I was pretty wild with it last night so hard to tell. Personally though guys, think I'm going to fall back to the safer plan at this point myself and do it myself through cmd and ADB with fastboot, these apps just can't really be trusted it would appear.

Oddly Successful ROOT

Samsung Galaxy Grand GT i9082 is not easy to root. Even if it was then i couldnt get the right apps. I mean there is the manual way by cmd and adb methods with odin. But just now i used the KINGO root app and it rooted it within seconds..but it was only working as the sole super user app. The Super Su by Chainfire wasnt succesfull with installing binaries into the system.. nor the other super user apps did.

When I removed the Kingo Root app thinking it was interfering with the other Super Su apps, then the ROOT Checker app said that the phone wasnt rooted properly. But when i installed back the Kingo Root app then it was alright.

How is it possible? Does this mean that KINGO ROOT is temporarily siitting there in the binary? And removing it would mean unrooting my phone?

BUT this was the app, when i tried Kingo root via PC, it was failing several times. But then i rooted again with the app and then connected it to PC,, funny thing is that the PC version of Kingo Root said it was rooted. Then i clicked ROOT AGAIN and at the end it said ROOT SUCCESSFUL.

Its really confusing. and now again. the original Super Su attempted to uninstall existing super users to run fine but failed :eek:

bad experience for me ! (sorry for poor english it's not my native langage)

I've got a huawei y550, I'm a noob and this is why I choose an app to root my phone. I was afraid to brick the phone with "classicals" methods.

I just wanted to get more memory space because on my huawei EMUI is taking all the storage space --' ...

I choose Kingoroot app because I saw on forums that app can root my phone.

Now Kingo superuser is installed and I can't remove it -_-'

Root is working, unroot is working but it's impossible to delete the superuser :mad:

I emailed them to know why we can't uninstall/delete or remplace the superuser by another one ... they don't want to reply ...
[General Questions and Answers] flipmode_11:
Read the steps I posted I how to switch.

It was I the last 2 - 6 weeks. I didn't have to run .sh files, or perform cryptic bash commands.

I simply installed SuperSU, said no to updating binaries. Coveted to /system, rebooted (automatic), then converted Kingo to user app. Frozen Kingo. Updated binaries.

It was somethingI like that.

Give it a go. YOU can always just re-root! :/
