Awesome!

The desktop version of your software was the ONLY thing that helped me root my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (upgraded to latest OTA build OC4) in a matter of minutes. Thanks so much!

The root persists after reboots too. I have already removed almost 90 unneeded system apps/services and it feels so good to have the much much longer battery life and smooth performance.

Now, how can I go about installing a custom recovery and then a custom ROM? Is that even possible for a rooted SGH-I337 on OC4 build?

Thanks!

If you find the right recovery and roms made for your model your good to go
[Android Apps and Games] shikhanshu:
Well that's just it. TWRP website scares me by saying:

Since my phone is having the latest OTA from Samsung, I am not sure if it is vulnerable to loki or not. I don't want the device to be bricked.

It would be great to know if someone has installed a custom recovery on a rooted SGH-I337 with latest 5.0.1 OC4 OTA installed.

i kno on vzw s4 you had to have the mdk bootloader.. it might b different for other variants.. best bet is to look in your device specific thread, not in a general root thread

It took me about 200 tries, but i finally got it on my ZTE Zmax. A phone they said was unrootable. Also after about 50 attempts, i rooted a alcatel one touch fierce 2, another unrootable phone... Don't give up guys, keep on keep on, keep on, never retreat, never surrender. You CAN get it to work. It just may take 17 hours and 500 tries.

Good job devs! I have already provided requested information to someone collecting it for the Zmax community.

[Android Apps and Games] auburn2eugene:
Well on my phone (ZTE Zmax) it would reset my device around 20%. I would then unlock my phone, and open it back up, and it would start where it left off. Usually going to about 60% then it would fail. At that point, I would have to clear cache on both king apps, then reboot my phone and try again. It literally took over 200 tries to get the app to successfully root my phone. Also, i forgot to mention on both unrootable phones that I rooted with this app, I had to install AnTuTu benchmark program, start it, let it get to about 10-15%, then start king root. If it failed, clear cache on both king apps, reboot phone, start AnTuTu, let get to 10-15% then run king again..... OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. after about 12 hours and 200 attempts, i now have a rooted ZTE Zmax. It was "unrootable" last week... Same for my son's alcatel one touch fierce 2... Same process... Both phones were unrootable last week, with people trying for MONTHS to achieve root, with no luck on either device... Now I've got em both rooted. Just keep trying, it WILL EVENTUALLY work.

These devs are top notch.

[Android Apps and Games] buggerritt:
I'll share my experience.

I had first updated to OC3 and rooted with Kingroot. Then, I tried to update to OC4 via the OTA. It failed. Then, I tried SuperSUme. It successfully switched me to SuperSU but, the OTA update still failed. So, I then used flashfire to flash stock rooted OC3 by following this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/how-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814

After doing so, the OC4 OTA succeeded and kept root with SuperSU. The flash to rooted OC3 automatically wipes system and data. To get rid of the "custom" padlock nag at boot, I used triangle away to reset the flash counter. All is well.

Note: I tried the same with the deodexed version of OC3 and the OTA update to OC4 also failed.

I'm inclined to agree. The fact that they're actively blocking Super-Sume is really gross. That app was made specifically because people want root without the garbage apps that King likes to force on us. Kingroot is malware, whether it roots or not.

[Android Apps and Games] Masterchief87:
Banning them from XDA wouldn't make kingroot cease to exist. It could still be downloaded from kingroot.net

It would just give them a reason to quit embedding their files into your system so that they are nearly impossible to remove. If you have a device which does not have a custom recovery, any ROMs, or any stock firmware you can flash, kingroot can never be completely removed from your system which means that when you use it your warranty is permanently voided.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

In the kingroot app, they tell you "warranty will not be void after unroot", but this is not true because even when you use the option in kingroot settings to unroot, it will still leave its binaries behind inside your /system/xbin folder. As long as you have files in your /system partition that aren't supposed to be there, someone who knows what to look for can tell that the device has been rooted and refuse to honor the warranty.

[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:

Ya well nowhere in first post or second says that bootloader should be unlocked ...if bootloader should be unlocked then there is no point to this app ..I could unlock bootloader in HTC dev and root how ever I want ...the whole idea behind this craproot app is at least achieve root if my bootloader has been modified ... But it didn't root .
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Actually in Some cases in order to use Sunshine which S-off's your phone you must need Kingroot.

And BTW some devices can't be unlocked on HTC Dev...

I also have some issues with kingroot... but i will not call it craproot app cuz it does it's thing very well, next time you should do a drop research and see that it's impossible to have permanent root on a HTC without a unlocked bootloader...

+1 This is really an issue you need to address Kingroot Dev Team please....

Also, to be fair, I wanted to thank the team for helping successfully root my Xperia ZU running the latest stock Lollipop ROM. But there are issues with several apps asking for root access and expecting Super SU. Titanium Backup is one instance, but there are several others. From what I have gleaned through what I have read on this thread this is probably down to the fact that Kingroot's version does not work in the same way as Super SU.

kingroot does not uninstall

i have a nexus 7 (2013) and kingroot dont uninstall

removing root permissions only removes root but you get stuck with an app that crashes on launch and is not deleted

when trying to open it it crashes after root permissions are removed.
[Android Apps and Games] truth57:
Sorry, but I disagree. If there are incompatibility issues with other apps who expect Superuser or Super SU, then it becomes incumbent upon the team to find ways to make it universally acceptable to app devs.

There is one particular case with Apps2SD which I just discovered which seems pretty important to me, quoted from the Apps2SD FAQ:

"Apps2SD is saying something about Chainfire's latest SuperSU is required. What is this?"

"Chainfire's SuperSU is the Superuser access management tool of the future. On Lollipop devices which has Selinux enabled you need Chainfire's latest SuperSU to use mount command (used to mount 2nd partition (if mount at boot is not supported) and bind folders) because Selinux employs mount namespace separation. Google "mount namespace separation" for more details."

In other words, without SuperSU you cannot use the mount command to mount a second partition. That means if I want to use apps2sd/link2sd or any similar apps I am forced into finding a safe way to change from Kingroot to SuperSU....

That is a real issue for the Kingroot team, considering the lack of storage most devices suffer from, and it's a vicious circle too, because without root you cannot use any of these apps.

Titanium Backup also gives a warning message when it recognizes that SuperSU is not installed, although it seems to accept the Kingroot version now.

In addition to this, all my anti-virus apps report Kingroot as malware and offer to block it.
[Android Apps and Games] elliwigy:
im confused at what you disagree with since your post has nothing at all to do with my comment lol.

i simply said that king team doesnt have time to update each device and rom version that works in their supported list and that they most likely are spending time finding new exploits or finding ways to block supersu/supersume since theres a few complaining about support list not updated.

i NEVER said supersu wasnt the best option as i completely agree with you lmao.. just was completely not what i said or was referring to at all.

P.S. As for my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-900V Running Lollipop 5.0 .... I'm going to splurge an extra $200 and trade in my consumer version of the device for the DEVELOPER version. That version has an unlocked bootloader, so I can replace the stock ROM with CyanogenMod - and instead of getting ignored and no support from Google (as it should be), the developer version of the phone is SUPPOSED to be played with, and Google employees probably are ready and willing to help me experiment with this version of the phone. :)
