Install twrp recovery and flash twrp recovery,BUT DON'T REBOOT.....FIRST UNINSTALL KINGROOT:

Uninstall all kingroot, kinguser, Chinese char apks

Reboot to twrp with twrp.apk

Make full backup

Flash SuperSU.Zip

1. Get full read/write to system per [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] tutorial

If you get a black screen with your led light blinking red, and green hold power button until it powers off, if it keeps rebooting hold volume up while you do this. To get out of booting into black screen with green and red flashing led you have to boot into twrp, and wipe cache, once you wipe cache you can reboot system and should have everything setup, rooted with updated su binaries

Once rooted if you would like to have full read write while keeping your twrp recovery there has been a solution made by Masterchief87 he created two zips one that flashes twrp to boot partition and your boot to recovery, with boot on your recovery partition booting into recovery boots up normal, but with read and write to system, while keeping twrp on boot if you boot normo you boot straight into your twrp recovery

Is were you can check md5 and see Masterchief87 original post

Flash for read write to system to boot into android you must choose reboot recovery, or hold volume up + power or you will boot into twrp again.

The second zip allows you to boot into android with only read as it has twrp on your recovery partition and only boot on your boot partition.

Flash for twrp on recovery, this will allow you to flash ROMs, zips, but will only mount system ad read only if you boot into android

To boot into twrp with this one flashed you must use reboot recovery or power + volume up

As always be careful when flashing any zip from recovery, and ones that write new boot.img I myself and or anyone else are not responsible if you brick your device

OK if you permrooted with kingroot, and are having issues getting SuperSU to read binary here is what you have to do

(this means you didn't uninstall kingroot, kinguser,Chinese char apks before a reboot)

Method 1 backup restore

1. Get su binary on sdcard

2. Make a backup of your system and boot

3. Run Restore from twrp(this restores your backup you just made)

4. Don't reboot yet

5. Mount system in twrp

6. Copy su binary from sdcard to /system/xbin/su

7. chmod 755 with twrp file browser

8. Copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

9. Chmod 755 install-recovery. sh

10. Copy daemonsu /system/xbin/daemonsu

11. Chmod daemonsu 755

12. Cleanup delete old ku.sud from /system/xbin

Delete /system/use/iku

Delete kingroot.txt in system folder

Reboot

Enjoy SuperSU
