hey hello,

Unfortunatly I tried this way too. It didn't work.

I tried all this lol :

Es explorer file (to delete/uninstall)

Root browser

Tried too Gatesjunior apps :

super-pro sume

super unroot

ginger unroot

Other apps :

SuperSU

Superuser

Tried to install a new rom. (the way with the 3 buttons power etc ... and the way in settings/local update).

Tried factory reset too.

nothing works, only fails. Kingo's superuser is still here :eek:

I'm afaraid to re-root in a "classical" way, because I don't have enought knowledge to do this, this is why I choosed an app to root my phone. (don't know if my sentence is correct ... --> I mean I'm noob lol :D)

And I saw too late that many people have the same problem than me :(

You've been nice to try to help me, thank you :)

Works Fine to notice...

I tried several other applications and its a good think to tell that it worked for me perfect on my Huawei Y530 where others failed.

There are some phones that need to unlock the bootloader first in order to work , it happened to me that kingo root failed at first because i didn´t have the bootloader unlocked. After that, it rooted it really fast and with no problems at the moment.

So in my oppinion i must say its a trusty application.

Not to mention i was looking in forums opinions before taking the risk. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] pranKster78:
I agree with some of the members that had raised concerns about this s/w. This App does things that I am not aware. Plus we see that it says "Downloading requisite dependency files (100%) .... " multiple times. I have some Questions bugging my mind

1. "What exactly it downloaded ?"

2. Why it downloaded files multiple times ?

3. In Odin / auto-root method(s) we know there are 1 or 2 files that are needed other than the Odin to root ! not many files as this app needs. So I simply just don't know what goes under the hood ? Defeating the purpose why we wanted to root our phone --- that is to gain more control on my phone !

I don't intend to hurt any one's sentiments but these are some of the thought running in circles in my head. I thought I should share them with the experts in the forum. May be some one will shed little light here.
[General Questions and Answers] PalmCentro:
Just saying, CFAR isn't using any exploits that's why it can be one file, king0root on the other hand is using exploits and that's why they need to download multiple stuff in order to find which exploit will work for that specific device.

Btw I'm not of the people who defend kingo/kingroot... Just pointing out on your specific concern.

i tried downloading and ESET blocked the website.

after temporarily disabling ESET, the files were flagged as Malware.

both files were 1 MB each.. which is suspicious.

and incorrect file names. (from screenshot)

Maybe it's the wrong site, but this is what comes up in Google for the first 3 listing.

UPDATE: i found a different version from DownloadGeek and installed it.

Unfortunately, after a few hours.. it didn't work.

Kingo SuperUser taking over...

The Kingo Super User just updated to 2.1.3 and among other permissions, it now can turn on Bluetooth devices, hide itself, and turn on at will. I tried uninstalling it only to have it reinstall the update itself.

Let this be a warning to anyone who may be thinking of using this method of rooting a device. I'm rethinking my reasoning for doing it in the first place.

[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
Malwarebytes, Avast, AVG...NONE of them will get rid of the KingRoot super user. Once installed to root your phone, you cannot unroot it EXCEPT with Super-SuMe, a $4 app in Play Store. You essentially can only replace it with SuperSu (using that app). After you replace the KingRot with SuperSu, you can fully unroot your device as needed.

EDIT: OOOOPPPPSSS! I should have clarified that I'm talking about KingRoot which is NOT the same as KingORoot. The O or lack thereof makes ALL the difference! Sorry. You can disregard my post if you've rooted with KingORoot. I didn't listen to my own advice. ???

Success

Well, I love my EVGA Tegra Note 7 so much, I wiped the whole hard drive to get rid of both Kingo root and Kingo Super su... But it followed me from v4.4.2 to 5.1 initially before I wiped the HD. It was successful after I wiped it though. As much as I wanted a rooted tablet, I realized I don't know enough to not get into trouble...

Most of you guys know what you're doing; I can't say that I do... As a matter of fact, Kingo has a way of uninstalling itself by hooking it up to your PC but at that point, I didn't trust it and was willing to just do the 5.1 install.
[General Questions and Answers] krustybaguette:
Why "not a good experience"?

Was the end result that your phone was successfully rooted? That's the goal normally.

I understand that having to reboot several times then do a hard reset may have been unsettling, but then you complained

about having knox tripped. Perhaps that's true, but unless your phone is still under factory warranty that shouldn't make much

difference. Check this article about knox

I don't use my Note III in a corporate environment. I just want to be able to root it and get rid of all the crapware that Samsung and Verizon have added to it.

Your complaint sounds like you have bought into Samsung's propaganda about knox's value.

I'm still not convinced about using kingo but I've yet to see a way to root my Note III using more traditional rooting methods.

[General Questions and Answers] bajatrvlr:
Bricked 5.1...

I finally got up the courage to try to re-root my Tegra Note 7 in LP 5.1 and the KR program churned and churned until it finally said "Success, your device is Rooted"... Not so fast, not only wasn't it rooted, but was in a boot-loop that took opening the case and snipping one of the battery leads. I tried desoldering the lead until I discovered it was silver braised and my iron won't put out that kind of temperature... As I looked around, Invidia braised every solder joint throughout the whole tablet. I'm impressed; I've never run into that before...

Anyway, I sent KR an email asking for help and haven't heard a peep from them. This was all after I sent them a donation that appears UN-refundable. Now I'm hoping Root Junky's method will work for unbricking it. My computer will not recognize the Tegra since this whole disaster finished with a blank screen.

Anyone with any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] PalmCentro:
Just saying, it's not kingroots fault that you bricked your device, rooting your device can brick it and you need to be prepared to be able to reflash.
[General Questions and Answers] FireDemonYT:
hello guys

OK so I got king root 4.9.0 and it updated to 5.0.0 and it was successfully. However Google told me I went to Ireland and uk during that process and that scared the **** out of me. Now I'm thinking to switch to towelroot or su. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
It's difficult to understand what you're saying about Kingroot updates and Google etc. Anyway, sounds like you're saying you want to switch from Kingroot's superuser to SuperSu.

You cannot "switch" to Towelroot as that is simply a rooting method. But you can switch to SuperSu.

You first have to eliminate Kingroot's superuser because it will not allow itself to be replaced simply by using a different rooting method. To eliminate it, you need to run a special script. Download the Super-SuMe app from PlayStore. It costs $4. It's the only way to eliminate Kingroot. It will also attempt to install SuperSu.

If SuperSu is not installed by Super-SuMe, you will need to install a SuperSu zip from the SD card. Which means that you should have a custom recovery installed just in case. So installing a custom recovery is the first thing you should do before attempting to eliminate Kingroot from your device.

Finally, please be advised that everything I stated above assumes you had rooted your device with KINGROOT (even though you posted on the Kingoroot thread). Kingroot is not the same as Kingoroot! Kingoroot is a lot easier to switch.
[General Questions and Answers] FireDemonYT:
Hello

This will not work as there's no available custom recovery for my device. Shall I try to unroot from kingroot's settings?
[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
Kingroot won't let you unroot in a way that will allow you to reroot with another rooting app.

What's your device anyway? If it is an MTK device, you can possibly create your own CWM (Clockworkmod) custom recovery for your device using MTK Droid Tools (just make sure you've set USB Debugging to ON). If you are able to create a CWM recovery, you can then use Rashr or Flashify to install it on your rooted device.
[General Questions and Answers] FireDemonYT:

You can ask for more information thx
[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
You've got two elements of bad luck. First of all, I can't make a CWM for you...you've got to do it yourself with your own device connected to MTK Droid Tools (with USB Debugging set to ON). MTK Droid will create the custom recovery for your device...but it may not work with KitKat. If you can't make your own, just search XDA for your device. Usually, someone else has made the CWM or TWRP for your device and you can download it from the thread.

Second, there's no way I'm gonna pay for an app that I don't need and send it to you to fix your problem. Sorry bro. Get the app yourself. Otherwise, just learn to live with KingRoot.

Hello,

I just used kingoroot and could root my Archos Helium 5 (French make). It seems to work. Add the Kingo Super User authorization system, of course. Seems to add also "Super Battery" and "pure cleaner", but I may have been able to remove them (I may because I don't care to reboot too often), because I don't need such app, but that don't mean they are harmful.

I couldn't root my wife's Dodgee X5 pro with it.
[General Questions and Answers] JackCheng:

I guess it depends on what you consider "safe".

I used KingoRoot to root my tablet, and after it was done, I found under Developer Options, Process, these KingoRoot background apps ...

SuperUser (ads.process)

SuperUser

Its the first one, that fits my definition of "unsafe".
[General Questions and Answers] donluz:
IMEI removed yet?

My Kaspersky picked-up Kingoroot and was not happy about it. Uncertain whether to "add to exclusions" or eradicate the bugger, I came to XDA.

I read the PDF of Kingo's response and am curious... on 02/10/2014 their response was that the "IMEI was unnecessary and would be removed in the next version". My question here is... did this ever take place? Lastly, is it still of popular opinion that this program is safe to use with regards to security, one's privacy, etc?

(by the way, I did use it on my GS4 and it worked after several reboots and reattempts)
[General Questions and Answers] jdanield:
I used it (with success) on my Archos Helium smartphone and didn't notice any suspect activity. My "data" link (gsm) is most of the time unset because it is it that make my battery low. But wifi is not.

Kingoroot install two apps: pure cleaner and super battery, but these app are pretty good, so it's not that a problem.

I don't know if it's possible to track what a root app do :( - probably not at my level.

And by the way, my phone have to be rooted again fairly often, at least at each reboot
[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
It does not just install apps, it also installs SYSTEMS PROCESSES which the typical user cannot see. So you really have no idea, do you?

And if you lose root every time you reboot your phone, then clearly, your phone is not fully rooted by Kingoroot. You need a different root solution.

Use MTK Droid Tools to create a custom recovery for your phone. Flash the recovery onto your device. Then install any SuperSu zip from the SD card while you're in recovery mode. Done. You'll be permanently rooted with a quality root manager.
[General Questions and Answers] jdanield:
yes, I know that, but what kingoroot do is enough for me - I mostly wanted to get rid of the unwanted preinstalled apps.

of course, I can't know if some infos are hacked from my phone, but I don't use it for sensitive action (no bank account there). Info here seems to show it's not overly dangerous, that is not so much more than many other apps that display adds

thanks for your input I may use if I get the time :)
[General Questions and Answers] edychen26:
Of course if you contact kingo side, it will said good. They wont say not good for their product. You should ask all master in XDA who can give the wright answer. In my experience something always happened after use for sometime. System and apps will crash. Factory reset wont give any positive result, kingroot n apps non bloatware come back and still crash. Hopely can remove kingroot in error device IF YOU LUCKY. Flashing with tool 50-50.

SO KINGROOT / KINGO NOT RECOMENDED.

BETTE TO USE SUPERSU FOR A BETTER SYSTEM
[General Questions and Answers] flipmode_11:
I used Kingo to root S2 and S4 without any issues. I also used it on HTC and another phone, when no other known way to root was possible. Only device I had issues with was HTC Diamond (old) and mini HTC model - probably MY Fault!!! So Kingo does have benefits! I forget the model of device that, but nothing would work.

#0. Connect phone to PC and execute a full phone backup using ADB.

#1. Backup all SIM + Google Account contacts.

#2. Remove SIM card and optionally insert old/dead SIM.

#3. Remove ALL Google accounts. All email accounts, calendars and contacts should be removed. Delete if still there. All data will be later re-added and populated with next re-sync after addubg accounts. I don't trust Root toolkit not to steal this data...

#4. Remove non-root applications - e.g. BK Package Disabler (export XML). Later update to newer root-friendly Disabler. Import XML to auto-disable everything.

#5. Use a FIREWALL on PC and Android during root process. Accept and reject each requests for network access - You will use a USB cable and run the EXE installer on your computer. Repeat trial-and-error until root procedure finishes for your privacy, or skip if you do not have any concerns (e.g. new device or all personal data already removed).

What else... What have I forgotten? SMS backup I guess...

After root, repeat with another full ADB backup. Keep ALL your backups and always give them sensible file names - 2017.07.24-S5-Stock-NoRoot etc.

Someone needs to write an updated list of concise steps to replace the Kingo SU with SuperSU, so that you do not lose Root in the process, or cause any issues. (I used Titanium to freeze Kingo SU and install Super SU, however had ongoing messages about binaries... :( I suspect file names were conflicting.

But you can always copy SuperSU to SD card and the reboot into recovery or boot, and install it that way, to get KingoSU out of the way. Exact steps with pre/post would be helpful for everyone though. :D :P

But the 2014 KingoSU was fine. Had no issues with it. It had diagnostics and logging. For most people, they just want root, plus prompt to allow/deny access.

I just HATE those apps that check for root and then reject/deny operation... Why they have to stop workign if they detect root access. 3 apps I use do this, and I have not rooted my current phone... :( :(

[General Questions and Answers] CVAngelo:
Actually, it's really easy to replace KingoSu with SuperSu. You need to flash a custom recovery (one that is specifically made for your device). Then put the latest SuperSu zip onto your SD card. Boot into custom recovery and install the SuperSu zip. It automatically deletes all files associated with Kingo and replaces the KingoSu with SuperSu.

So I have scoured the internetz for the same problem I am having and I cannot seem to find it. So I guess ill ask here.

2. Tap pay was not working so I uninstalled google wallet, cleared the cash and data and re-installed.

3. Authorized tap pay and now the wallet app is working fine.

4. Problem.. It does NOT activate when I use the NFC at the register. Nothing happens.

I have also tested NFC. All other NFC functions are working properly, but when I pas the NFC by the reader at the register it does not activate the google wallet app and request the pin.

I am completely boggled. I meen I love google walled but I love TiBu even more.. soooo and theories? :confused::eek:

The response wraps up by citing Professor Patrick Traynor from the Georgia Institute of Technology, who previously expressed concern over the researchers' findings. According to Traynor, "Proper configuration of mechanisms available within KNOX appears to be able to address the previously published issue. Samsung should strongly encourage all of their users to take advantage of those mechanisms to avoid this and other common security issues."
