More suspicious KingRoot/KingUser/KingMaster

najoor .... could you look to see if you have these files.

I'll preface the rest with this was done on a Samsung Galaxy S3 Prepaid, 3G only phone and not a Fire Phone, but the procedure worked. The lastest version of KR seems to be trying to hide more things.

I think I found some more KingRoot/KingUser/KingMaster files.

I found one "/system/ikm/ikmsu" and deleted it without looking into it (dumb I know, but maybe not given the next file).

This one "/system/bin/ddexe" has the contents:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/xbin/ku.sud -d &

/system/usr/ikm/ikmsu -d &

/system/bin/ddexe_real

Then there's "/system/bin/ddexe-ku.bak" which has the same contents.

"/system/bin/debuggerd" is a KU script that does a bunch of stuff and then launches "/system/bin/debuggerd_real" at the end.

The debuggerd script references "/system/xbin/krdem" a file that has a modification date that matches my root date. I moved that file to krdem.ku

I moved debuggerd to debuggerd.ku and copied debuggerd_real to debuggerd.

I copied ddexe to ddexe.ku and then I had to

busybox chattr -ia ddexe

before I could

cat ddexe_real > ddexe
busybox chattr +ia ddexe

"/system/usr/attrch" has a change date consistent with my rooting date. I moved it to attrch.ku

No ill effects seen so far from removing / renaming these files.

The latest version of kingsroot(got an update a few minutes ago) is now in English, including its companion apps but there may be those that still prefer SU, I'm just wondering why?
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
Kingroot uses different files and methods to root different devices. That seems to be one of the reason that it fetches information from the Internet. I am aware of the kind of files that you mentioned because I have seen a similar arrangement when I used the same technique to root Sony Xperia tablet Z. However, none of the files that you mentioned applies to the fire phone root.

To the best of my knowledge the method posted in the OP completely removes Kingroot from the system and I don't see any reason to modify it. Unfortunately I cannot comment on how to modify this method to use on other phones and I suggest other users do not use this method on anything other than a fire phone, unless, like yourself, they are competent enough to trace and remove all the files manually.
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
It is not about the language of the app, it is about the general lack of trust among the Android community in root agents such as Kingroot. I wrote a few lines about that here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60694078&postcount=12
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the info.
[Amazon Fire Phone] hmoobguy:
This worked PERFECTLY! Forget the manual ABD crap that isn't working.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Frustrating so far...It appears that Kingroot did its job but when i type su from inside adb shell i get su "not found"

Tried a couple of different versions plus king user

***Update***Somehow I'm all set--rooted with supersu installed and updated binaries and just installed safestrap...I do have one question on this subject...should I install busy box? Is it running in the background? Unnecessary? [MENTION=5769394]najoor[/MENTION], Thanks a lot for the guide!
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
Yes. After sideloading, clear cache send data in recovery.
[Amazon Fire Phone] najoor:
You said safestrap? You tried this thread on a Samsung phone? And no you don't need busybox.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Not sure what you mean when you said "You said safestrap?" But no I don't own any samsung devices. But thanks for responding to the busy box inquiry.

Rooted with MobileGo from WonderShare

I just got my Amazon Fire phone over the weekend. I took part in the one day Amazon sale last week where it was listed for $169.00 US. That included a year of Amazon prime. Not a bad price for an unlocked no-contract phone!

So as part of my new Android device ritual I wanted to root the phone. I read and re-read all the threads about rooting the Fire phone and I didn't want to go through the KingFire route. Too risky for my tastes. I picked a less risky venture by using WonderShare MobileGo.

This link pointed me to it: handytechplus.com/easiest-root-amazon-fire-phone/

I saw other postings in some blogs that said that approach didn't work, but since MobileGo was now a free app, I decided to try it just for the heck of it.

It worked much to my surprise, to say the least.

A bit about my setup. I am running a Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit desktop. My Fire phone is at version 4.6.1 with an AT&T sim card in it. I had already put the Google play store on it using the non-root option mentioned in another thread on this website.

I had a devil of a time getting my USB adb connection to work though. It turned out to be the USB drivers, of course. I downloaded the Android Studio and followed the directions at developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/devices/fire-phone/docs/setup to get the drivers. There may be a quicker way to do it, but that's the path I followed.

Once I got the adb connection to work, then I installed MobileGo from WonderShare's web site on my desktop. I connected my Fire phone to the USB port, and MobileGo saw the phone no problem and installed the MobileGo app on the phone itself. I then clicked on the Super Toolkit on the desktop application menu and hit the One Click Root option and followed the instructions. Easy as pie.

My MobileGo application on my desktop then crashed during the first attempt at rooting. I panicked at first, but I checked my phone and it was OK. I then re-ran MobileGo and did the One Click Root again to make sure it took, and this time it came back successful. SuperSU was installed on the phone. I had already bought SuperSU Pro, and that worked as well. Binaries updated successfully. Root also survives reboot.

I then removed MobileGo from my desktop and phone, as well as L5 on the phone. Don't need that stuff hanging around now that I'm rooted.

I'm not sure if this post belongs in a separate thread, but I just wanted to share my experience.

I used Super Sume to uninstall KingRoot

Super-Sume XDA thread.
[Amazon Fire Phone] gnash.s:
Just followed the above script to replace KingUser to SuperSU, everything worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing this info.
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Good to know it still works. The script from Wolfdroid is a good method for advanced users who already use "terminal emu." on their device, Super-Sume is the easiest way for novice users.

The Kingxteam is always eager to improve KingRoot (e.g. v. 4.5 combines KingUser & Kingroot, changes to root engine) so people will need to check if Wolfdroid keeps his script / gatesjunior keeps his app updated in the future.

They also sound a little butthurt... :laugh:

[Amazon Fire Phone] Jaxidian:
Are the instructions in the OP still valid for modern US/Unlocked devices running 4.6.3 (463001620)? I just got my Fire Phone in from their $130 fire sale and wanna get CM11 on this puppy so it's actually usable!
[Amazon Fire Phone] :
Yes, since you wanna use CM, you can:

Install Kingroot

No need for ADB commands

Flash CM from Safestrap recovery (TWRP)

Flash SuperSU

Your device will be properly rooted without "spyware" from Kingroot/Kinguser. ;)

Make sure you have alle the ZIP files (ROM, SuperSU, etc.) stored on your internal storage ("sdcard") partition before you start. Saving the Safestrap APK on your device can be useful as well, when you install different ROMs and want to access or en-/disable the recovery.

You can use Kingroot 4.1 (if you have saved the apk earlier) or 4.5, doesn't matter, get it from the official Kingroot thread here.
[Amazon Fire Phone] Robix90:
Hello, first of all, thanks a lot for helping out all of us.

I side loaded Google Play on Fire Phone (v4.6.3), and used Kingroot 4.52 for rooting. I checked root access with Root Checker and everything was fine. I then followed the OP instructions step by step to replace kingroot with SuperSu -

1. Transferred su and busybox to the /data/local/tmp folder, and Superuser.apk to the /sdcard/download foler.

2. Using ADB, ran the first part of the script.

3. Removed kingroot as instructed. Since it was 4.52 version, I just need to take care of one app.

4. Ran the rest of the script and there was no error at any point.

5. Ran Superuser.apk and it installed SuperSu without issue.

6. Rebooted the phone and went to check root access with Root Checker.

7. Disappointment!! it says - Sorry! Root access is not properly installed!!

8. Opened SuperSu and it says - There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it ....

I am wondering what went wrong!!? Please advice....If I need to restart, from where should it be?

root Fire Phone

Hi!

I bought a used Fire Phone recently which is running Fire OS 4.6.3 (463001620). I just followed the steps in post 1 twice today ('cause I made some mistakes the first time) and got few errors both times, but - IT WORKS!

Installed Xposed, rebooted, installed Xprivacy, rebooted again and everything stills works. VERY NICE!

Didn't work for my ASUS Memo Pad Smart 10

Problems started with command:

rm failed for /system/bin/rt.sh, Operation not permitted

I couldn't chmod the file in ADB nor Root Browser

Then some rm commands tried to execute on directories that didn't exist.

Nothing I've tried has worked so far. ALL scripts, commands, etc. in websites have at some point failed.

Just a note, with ANY kind of sim card in phone KingRoot fails. Even an incompatible one (for example installing China Telecom card in a China Mobile device)
[Amazon Fire Phone] romario3600:
You sure it's not just your device? I've never had an issue with kingroot under any circumstances

Of course this is just my device, but most probably KingRoot uses the same exploit for most devices, yours may have some serious security flaws that allows KingRoot to get root.

I am running Android 5.0.2.

[Amazon Fire Phone] BanaSplit:
Hi,

FYI, used these instructions successfully to replace Kingroot with SuperSU on Fire HD6 tablet with FW v.4.5.3

Only in one place the code needed to be adjusted:

In code of section 7 from you instructions had to insert another "busybox chattr" line before remove rt.sh command (see red marked line below). Otherwise the remove command would fail due to missing permissions.

cat /data/local/tmp/su >/system/xbin/su && chmod 0755 /system/xbin/su
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/ku.sud
busybox chattr -ia /system/xbin/supolicy
rm /system/xbin/ku.sud
rm /system/xbin/supolicy

[COLOR="Red"]busybox chattr -ia /system/bin/rt.sh[/COLOR]
rm /system/bin/rt.sh
rm /system/bin/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/bin/shipclean
rm /system/bin/start-ssh

busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
busybox chattr -ia /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-ku.bak
rm /system/etc/install_recovery.sh

rm /system/usr/icu/icusuflag.conf
busybox chattr -ia /system/usr/iku/isu
rm -rf /system/usr/iku

rm /system/kroot_*
rm /sdcard/kr-stock-conf
rm -rf /sdcard/Kingroot

rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.RushRoot
rm -rf /data/data-lib/com.kingroot.kinguser
rm -rf /data/data-lib/king

Also, your script could not remove all traces of Kingroot when using actual Kingroot v.5.0.1

So, probably better try use the old v.4.0.0.233 provided within your root.zip file.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frandroid-v95:
Yes & No

I love my G3 on AICP 9.0 but I must admit he sometimes get really hot and I haver 2,5h of screenon on an average day... If you can buy one cheap he is really worth it. Great screen (although a bit dim in direct sunlight), nice handeling experience and a top camera. :D

I'm not fan of the LG UI so I can't recommend it for the software experience :p

I think you should test one and look if it suits your needs :good:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
Since I have experience with both LG G2 and G3, If you are not to much involved into race for the newest smartphones on the market, I would recommend to you LG G2.

Why?

- Perfectly balanced battery with easy 6+ SOT and two days of usage with one charging

- Perfect size for average male hand, with full HD 5.2 screen

- Perfectly capable hardware and lag - free experience without overheating.

- Excelent camera - it is virtually impossible to feel or see difference in quality when comparing with G3 in everyday usage

- WIth CloudyG2 ROM G2 gets complete G3 user interface

Weak points:

- No microSD slot, so 32GB of internal storage could be insufficient for some users. I had 16GB version, and haven't felt usage issues at all for more than year. Responsible user should move videos and photos to computer or other external storage regularly anyway.

G3 looks better, have larger screen, a little bit better hardware, and that's it. CPU can be quite hot from time to time, but phone works nicely. With custom stock - based ROM (CloudyG3) there are no lags at all, and with stock ROM sometimes phone can look a little bit lazy, but no real lags.

Since in beautiful Marrakesh air temperature can be quite high, I would consider that also :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Rex:
thanks man for the advice the main raison why i want a flagship device because a want a phone to use for the next 2 years and i want it to be able to run games and new apps you mensioned that with coudy G3 ther's no lag at all and that's what am asking for am currently on my galaxy s2 and i suffer with both battery and performane so i will not complain a lot because am not coming from a hight end device
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrookley:
I recently came from the S4 where I had pretty massive lag issues and most of it had to do with the phone always being maxed out (even with 2 GB of RAM). If you get the 32GB G3, it comes with 3GB of RAM (I think the 16GB only comes with 2GB of RAM, so you might see some of that lag you're referring to).

That said, I just bought the 32 GB G3 and I haven't experienced hardly any lag with just the stock (rooted) OS. That said, I use launchers so there's little difference in setup from one device to another.

One thing worth noting is that, because this is considered a "last gen" phone (ie the G4 is out now), it's possible that many of the developers have moved on to another phone. Getting responses to basic questions takes quite a while (in my experience) so if you're looking for a phone with an active developer community, you might want to look at a more recent phone. However, If you're looking for a phone/media device that has a lot of the information available for you, don't mind reading, and are comfortable enough with development, I'd say get the G3 (I'd aim for the 32GB version).

So yeah, that's my opinion. Let us know if you end up picking up the phone or if you decide to go with something else. Good luck!
