Hello everyone.

I am the user that originally found that running apps in the background helped KingRoot achieve root with higher success rate.

My original test was using a game "CounterSpy" and game console emulator app "PPSSPP". I ran the game Final Fantasy Type-0 in the PPSSPP emulator along with the CounterSpy game. Root was achieved within 2 attempts.

Fast forward to today (after many many tests). My original device was broken during testing. I have purchased a new device and run 3 phone benchmark apps along with KingRoot.

Antutu, Quadrant, and Geek Bench. Ran all 3 apps, ran KingRoot, phone rebooted once. No root yet. Force Stopped KingRoot from Settings (did not clear cache or data), ran 3 apps again and KingRoot. Phone Root Success.

One thing that you need to keep in mind. If your phone has a built in Task Manager app, you need to go into Settings > Apps > All > [Task Manager] and FORCE STOP it before trying to run those apps and KingRoot.

If you do not, the Task Killer will try to close those programs as you leave them to run another. Thus, the app will not be loading the system with tasks, ultimately not helping.

Your task killer might be named different on your device. It varies from manufacturer (Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc.)

All this was done on my ZTE Zmax. I have also attempted this on a Moto E (XT830C - Tracfone model) and it did not work.

I can not explain with facts as to how or why this works. It was only a theory that proved to be effective.

It can be very hit or miss. All you can do is try.

Good Luck.

Hello,

About my case:

Sony D6503

23.1.A.1.28

Android 5.0.2

It worked, but, restarting phone, System show 1 Android update before to start menù and then the main root partition "/" is no more writable. In fact all apps who granted before superuser access still working in root mode but can't access anymore to modify system files (easily, when "ES File Explorer" app try to create a folder under /system, it fails, also if before to restart phone, it worked).

What to do to grant root access permanently?
[Android Apps and Games] Kingxteam:
Thanks for your feedback and we will do more works on this~
[Android Apps and Games] Kingxteam:
Hi, I think this case caused by SONY_RIC, you can search it on internet. Next version kingroot(4.1) will have more powerful ability to close RIC , may be you can have a try. What's more, you also can find out how to close it manually. Hope information here can help you. Cheers~
[Android Apps and Games] Trakkiggio:
Hi,

thanks, I just googled a bit but I was unable to find more info about how to close manually this module. Could you Help me?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Kingxteam:
Hi, I just search some information for you.

There are two solutions

1. use this command: echo 0 > /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric/enable however, you need to do it every time when you restart your phone

2. To fix your Kernal, however you need to unlock your bootloader first or your device will become brick....

For more information you can ask in SONY forum I think, they will help you.

What's more, you also can try to use kingroot 4.1 which will be released in this week. I hope new version can overcome this problem

Watch this one ; http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-sony-ric-killer-t2953141

[Android Apps and Games] Trakkiggio:
Hi,

thanks! It's a very interesting topic!

I prefer wait for your next release anyway! I think that I will anyway try to play with your commands maybe! You're great!

About next version: will be able to check deeply real rooting status? Actually, my phone is detected as rooted by kingroot check, but in fact, it stills partially rooted. You should implement a check that verify really the ability to write on /system. I'm just suggesting this, because at this moment, the only way to root my phone correctly with your actual tool version is to reflash phone and install kingroot again.
[Android Apps and Games] Kingxteam:
Thanks for your suggestion, and hope your problem can be resolved~
[Android Apps and Games] Tachikoma_kun:
For the Sony RIC problem, install the xzLockedDualRecovery by NUT, that solved the problem for me on locked bootloader.

[Android Apps and Games] dadrumgod:
If I'm not mistaken you hsmave tripped Knox security and I do believe you can get that straight but in not sure of the method exactly and it may vary between models. I know you should check out an app called Triangle Away which is what most people use. There's probably additional steps but it surely will tell you what to do. Also you can still use it with it like that just anoying to look at cuz I had a samdung and it did it too lol

to my knowledge u need to unlock the bl to use custom kernel that has wp removed or else it reverts back on a reboot..

of course in order to do this you need to trip knox.

Try to flash note 4 with N910FXXU1ANK4 kk 4.4.4 -newer, but still no luck with any version of kingroot, except 4.0, and only for temp root.

Why only this old version of kr wokrs on note 4??? Isn't logical that newer wersion covers old versions, and add something new?

[Android Apps and Games] Rustamveer:
The main reason why people dislike kinguser app because it contains useless functions. People only want Root permission feature like supersu.

It will be best if you talk to supersu dev and make a combined app. I am sure it will be best root mgmt. app.

MY PROBLEM:-

In my mmx unite 2 a106, kinguser app is not showing in app drawer.and my root permissions are lost. the app is showing in settings>apps>all.

If I click that kinguser app, it only has disable option. Other options are not clickable.

If I reinstall it , it gets installed but 'open' option is fade.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REINSTALL CLEAN ROOT PERMISSIONS???

I see that mobile odin from cf can flash without changing counter, but kk 4.4.4 is not supported.

Now Chaifire is making a new app- Flashfire, still in beta. Maybe I can flash supersu or cf auto root without triggering knox with flashfire, but the problem is that I need supersu installed, not kingroot, and I can't install supersu because I have only temp root (can opener is in the can).

I ask qvestion on flashfire topic, now we will see what next. Maybe we find some some solution.

If you want to change to SuperSu you can try Super Sume or This.
[Android Apps and Games] dadrumgod:
The reason people switch is because kr uses out of date su binaries, that's why most modern root apps won't even read root access. The devs need to update their binaries, but I bet then they wouldn't be able to root as many devices as easily.. But also true about kinguser being to loaded people don't want all of that

ppl need to understand that king root uses root exploits at which carriers PATCH.. in order to use root you either need to downgrade if possible or refrain from taking updates..

its silly to think a root will last through updates lol

sounds like if previous mention isnt applicable you must wait for new exploits to b found.. you shouldnt have updated

Samsung Core Prime SM-S820L Is Listed As Compatiable But Is Not.

KingRoot does NOT work on the SM-S820L even though it is on the supported devices list. I have tried a couple different version of KingRoot desktop and app, as well as every ROOT application I can possibly find and have been unable to successfully achieve ROOT on my SM-S820L. I may have to just suck it up and purchase a different phone. I originally purchased this phone because I was under the impression KingRoot was effective on it. Had I known this was going to be an issue, I would never have purchased this phone in the first place. I guess it was just a $130 lesson learned. I'm not sure what was changed on these devices but it appears that whatever "loophole" KingRoot was using has been patched. Someone may want to update the "compatible list" for KingRoot. :cool:

[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Yes, it would be nice if it worked, but the only known way to achieve root with locked bootloader in a 5.1.1 ROM for the entire Z-series is to go back to either 5.0.2 or 4.4.4, root it and install recovery. Then, put a 5.1.1 ftf file into PRFCreator and include, at least, SuperSU beta v2.52 zip. You could also include both xzdualrecovery beta v2.8.22 and Xposed v75 sdk22 arn zips. Then, copy the output, named flashable-prerooted.zip to your phone and install it in recovery mode.

[Android Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Access www.flashtool.net/downloads.php, download and install Flashtool. Launch it and click on the XF icon (the last one on the upper icons row). XperiFirm will be automatically downloaded and launched. In its window, choose your model to the left and its available ROMs to the right. When you click a ROM, a download window vibes up. Keep the unpacking checkbox ticked and download the ROM. When XperiFirm's job is all done, close the download window and kill XperiFirm completely. Flashtool will resume its tasks, which will culminate with the creation of the ftf file. It will be located at C:\Users\your_username\.flashTool\firmwares.

EDIT: you've asked for the other zips, and I've forgotten to include them on my post. Let's go. Latest SuperSU beta can be found here: download.chainfire.eu/743. For XZDualRecovery, access nut.xperia-files.com, click on XZDualRecovery and BETA TESTING. Download the flashable version for your phone model.

If you have kk 4.4.2 (are you shure???) than maybe you try Towelroot or other version of kingroot. Kk 4.4.2 is much easier to root, I have galaxy tablet with that version, and I get permanent root with kingroot v4.5.
