It depends on the phone. You will have to try it yourself to know. If it does happen, you will most likely have to unlock your bootloader.

Why would you use a one-click-root app on a custom ROM? Those usually have root access already... and if not, you had to use a custom recovery to install it, that way you can just install the SuperSU install zip...

Worked for my OPPO R7f! Fantastic work, thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] louiscar:
I just want to record my thanks to you and the team for a solution that helped me root the device. Although I did this in Kitkat and wish to stay on Kitkat it worked for me.

I do wish though that you would remove your restrictive policy regarding the removal of Kinguser. Remember we wish to root to gain control not to have something else forced on to us. The main reason we do that is because you are not as well known perhaps as other devs and you should work to change this naturally. Many of us have used Supersu and are used to it and have paid for the pro version.

For whatever reason we have the right to choose what runs on our device, but I also disagree with the policies of Chainfire who now appear to force SuperSu if you want to run Flashfire.

More people would try out your software if it weren't for the doubts and uncertainty however unfair they seem. It's a natural reaction till people fully trust in your motives.

You can only fix this by trust as time goes by but by appearing so desperate to force us to keep and run your software on our device you are creating more suspicion - please understand that this works against you not for you. Doing this because Chainfire is not responding is punishing the user not the Chainfire or Supersume who will not change their minds just because you did this.

Most devs here have gained a lot of trust - motivation is a challenge, they do it for themselves and they share the solution. Not many do this for a complete living (at least I don't think so) donations and appreciation don't allow them to give up their day jobs. What about you? What are you working for? People need to understand this to have some kind of idea don't you think?

I hope both sides will end up discussing this and in the meantime I hope that everyone that appreciates both of you to put some pressure on both parties to come out into the open and discuss this properly. We do not want an open war in this community.

Either way thanks are due to you for your efforts and because perhaps solutions for different devices are posted on other threads which include Kingroot as part of it, people don't come directly here to say thank you.

This needs to be corrected at least as many would not have rooted were it not for you.

So thank you!

[Android Apps and Games] elliwigy:
lol im sure hes aware of that since he was asking if there was any way to block exploits/viruses such as king root....

this is the wrong thread for sure.. asking in king root thread if theres a way to block king root is poor forum etiquette..

and to answer his question, NO. They do patch found exploits/vulnerabilities but as in any similar types of devices, new exploits are waiting to be found and then eventually patched.. its impossible to know of every exploit concievable and patch them before they are exploited.. it really works the opposite as in companies work towards finding exploits and then they work to patch them but they cannot patch something until they know the exploit exists

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

I have been reading a lot of threads about rooting & the losing root. I wonder if they actually lost root or can not get access to root.

When I ran chainfire SUME it un-installed chainfireSU so I thought I had lost root . Then I thought maybe it did not need it thats why it uninstalled it. Once I re-installed chainfireSU and ran Flashfire root access kicked back in. Now everything works wonderful .

THANK YOU GUYS for a great job.

[Android Apps and Games] Cave Canem:
Solution: Let those who want full control after rooting with KingRoot, pay KingDev for a version that allows the users to install/remove their choice of root manager/apps. (Essentially, pay KingDev for developing a tool that gains root access to otherwise unrootable devices.) If users want a free version of KingRoot, then use the version that KingDev deems appropriate, that is with their root manager and apps. Everyone wins.

Bootloader and Recovery after King root on Verizon GS4 5.0.1

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else has successfully rooted a Verizon G4 running 5.0.1 using King Root and SuperSume method, and verified root using root checker, but run into issues when trying to use Recovery method to go to bootloader, which should be Clockwork Mod Recovery, buy phone continues to boot into Android Recovery. Does King root not unlock the bootloader? Has anyone had experience with this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Wow, I was coming here to say the same thing, except I was thinking something more like a donation. You have to donate a certain amount to use any other super user (I say $5), but you can donate as much as you want if you are feeling really generous and grateful for the hard work the [MENTION=6674985]Kingxteam[/MENTION] has done.
[Android Apps and Games] heywheelie:

[Android Apps and Games] xda___:
Still wondering if this method will unlock bootloader or if the bootloader is even an issue on an international unlocked Huawei device... ?
[Android Apps and Games] Masterchief87:
You are making it sound like SuperSU is attacking you when in fact this could not be farther from the truth. It doesn't matter what Superuser app you have installed SuperSU will ask you if you want to uninstall it, whether you are using Superuser by Clockworkmod, Superuser by ChainsDD, Superuser by Kingo, or Kingroot. Also, if someone installs SuperSU that means they already want to use it instead of whatever other Superuser app they may have installed previously. Finally you must have forgotten that SuperSU has an option that allows the user to uninstall it while leaving the door open for another superuser app. This means that if I have a device that can only be rooted one way and that way requires me to install SuperSU, I can uninstall SuperSU and replace it with kinguser if I want to. SuperSU, instead of blocking me from replacing it with a different superuser app, actually HELPS me to replace it with Kinguser or whatever other superuser app I want to use. The least you can do is offer the same courtesy instead of forcing me to use your app or go without root. You are so intent on sabotaging efforts to use different superuser apps that even when a user chooses the option to remove root access you still leave your binaries in /system/xbin so that even if there is another root method available for their device, once they use kingroot, no other root method will work other than installing a whole new ROM. When something installs itself to my system and does not allow me to remove it I consider that to be MALWARE.

Don't want another phone, but I need the app more than this specific phone.
[Android Apps and Games] telbany94:
Thanks for the great tool but plz allow us to root the phone only without installing unnecessary apps. Just give us the option to install or not to install extra apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Cave Canem:
Yes. A donation is more palatable...

and if they can implement this on ATT Galaxy S5 Lollipop (with option to use any super user) I would be very, very generous as I'm sure others with same crapware phone will be.

Any senior/dev xda members have a good rapport with Kingxteam to propose the "middle ground/donation" idea to Kingxteam's devs/management?

It might be helpful to find out their motivation behind insisting on their superuser. Is it a matter of pride or profit or both? (Or perhaps someone is looking to earn enough cred to get picked up by Google, just like geohot was poached from the xda community...)

From Google's hiring manager:

“The odds of hiring a great person based on inbound applications are low,” ... Preferred is the scout, the long stalk... the recruiting corps at Google might eye a target for years... we want to be there at those moments, when someone’s like, ‘You know what? I love what I’m doing but now’s the time to try something different.’” (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/apr/04/how-to-get-job-at-google-meet-man-hires-fires)​

Just my opinion but if you do not like it don't use it. Develop your own method for Rooting and put it out there with nothing attached. Simple right? Until you are in the position where you can do something like that you really don't have a right to ask for things like you are. To me it comes off very rude and ungrateful. It's kind of like bugging the developer for ETA for something that he's developing.

Dear dev.,

I have used almost all the available (English/Chinese) versions of Purify/Kingmaster but none of them can sufficiently hibernate Facebook apk & Facebook Messenger apk. Facebook always stealthily wakes up & run in the background. I have my phone duly rooted by Kingroot. Even Greenify apk can not stop Facebook from auto wake up. Please, provide some stronger version to hibernate Facebook with Purify/Kingmaster. I have already set Facebook as purified apk on Purify with Deep Purifying mode. But all fails. Facebook apk still automatically wakes up.

Please, make Purify apk stronger.

I am using Micromax Canvas Fire-2 (A104) handset rooted by your latest Kingroot mobile apk.

[Android Apps and Games] Masterchief87:
Your phone probably has system write protection which prevents changes from being made to system while booted in Android. If this is the case then what you had was temp root which only lasts until you reboot. I have a zte zmax which has system write protection so the only way to truly root it is to get temp root with kingroot then install twrp and flash SuperSU through recovery.

Don't bother. It's not worth the time. Just look through the thread and you will see hundreds of requests for kingroot to root phones that have already been rooted. Most of them are samsungs that take 30 seconds to root with odin and cf auto root. Some people will not settle for anything else except a one click root method, no matter how simple an existing root method may be.
