If you have root then you should also be able to install a custom recovery. Why don't you just download flash SuperSU from recovery AFTER removing King root instead of doing it through normal mode? I personally would not keep an app with such a behaviour installed on my phone...
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
>> Phone: Samsung Galaxy Core LTE (SM-G360F)

>> Country: Europa/Norway

>> Android version 4.4.4

>> Kingroot version 4.5.0
[Android Apps and Games] badboy47:
I agree but I would still like to know of why the app constantly connects. So far no one has any clue yet.
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
First off, your steps are almost unreadable for a non-naitive english speaker...

"Why don't you just download flash SuperSU from recovery AFTER removing King root instead of doing it through normal mode"? doing what? and how was I doing that unnormally?

Secondly, my question still is "why does KingRoot connect to these IP adresses all the time" (flashing supersu from recovery does not fix/explain my original question)

My idea is to keep the app, as long as it doesn't sendt ital personal information away from my phone (that I have not already opted YES to send)

The app itself, does the job I want it to do (Rooting, enable/disable autorun) but it has some unknown data-transfers... my concern is with the data-transfers...

(I wanted to test the SuperSU idea as previously posted, as I could do much the same with SuperSU (but without the unknown data transfers that KingRoot does) - The test I did to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU, ended in me having to reinstall KingRoot to gain root again, SuperSU did not load correctly, and could not update its binarys. But apps that previously had gained root, now struggles to find their already previously granted root permissions, so after trying this, im basically worse off than before....Root apps that doesn't work properly, root permissions that doesn't work properly, and still KingRoot sending information away... (tested with NoRootFirewall)

Still have KingRoot installed (to obtain root) and SuperSU did not install properly (when KingRoot is already there) so for the time being, Im stuck with KingRoot...

(unless someone knows a link to a STEP-BY-STEP, well explained -noob like explaining, guide for rooting Samsung SM-G360F using other tools)
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
I started messing around with king root and had to install again over the top to regain root permissions. I'd disabled a couple of its services to try and stop the pinging. I think it worked but it broke other stuff. Can't you use no root fire wall and maybe servicely to kill it on a regular basis?
[Android Apps and Games] Creed14:
Why not just get rid of Kingoroot and install Supersu?
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
I am currently using "NoRoot Firewall" as I realized that all firewalls not using a VPN type connection, actually leaks stuff on other ports (non standard ports)...

So the only way to stop most of the leaking, is using "NoRoot Firewall" until someone with a packetsniffer/proxy/wireshark type program, finds out about what is really transferred (and then maybe also why it is transferred)

But, if "KingRoot" did not 'leak' info (or whatever it does) then there would be no big need for the "NoRoot Firewall".... So still im curious about what KingRoot is doing with those connections....

(PS: I've also done a "factory reset" on my phone today, and reinstalled only "Kingroot" and "NoRoot Firewall" but that app is still leaking....)

Thanks for your tip about "Servicely" ( play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.servicely&hl=en )

I will install that right away, and give that a test aswell, since whatever kills "KingRoot" also makes sure that no info is transferred...
[Android Apps and Games] s629c:
If possible, ALWAYS try a different method than kingroot. Sorry to the devs but the way they design they're exploit, you can't uninstall kingroot without breaking something. It's a shady Chinese app that i wouldnt trust.
[Android Apps and Games] Marcovanbasten:
Why the app is connecting to their servers? The reply is obvious...

I asked many times on the app thread,just filter on my nickname.

Do you really think a Chinese company will pay devs for this kind of free app?

First: I'm not a native English speaking person. If you didn't understand what I meant with my post it's not due to my "simplified" english but in regards to your language barriers.

Second: I wasn't telling you how to do it. It can be put simply as "flash SUPERSU from recovery after removing KingRoot". Google and search in xda will help you with that. Get used to getting your answers from those instead of expecting others to give you step by step instructions on how to do something that is so widely known and posted.

On a side note, it seems to me that the ONLY people that can give you the answer to the question of "why" King root does what it does are its developers. If they don't answer you, that on its own should be enough for you to just stay away from it and find another rooting method. Same thing as saying that something you're eating is causing abdominal pain, and instead of stop eating that all together, you keep on eating it while taking a ton of medication to aliviate the symptoms and attempt for someone to do some sort of analysis of that food and explain why that's happening...
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
You're just about right...

Now your English was more readable to me, so I guess simplified English, when explaining steps, isn't my thing - Reason I believed you were native, is because native people can use quite a lot of that simplifying in their writing, so thats my bad... Truce?

Reason I asked for a detailed step-by-step is becuase i've already tried to replace KingRoot with something else (like SuperSU) - I did test this guide:

( www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html )

But that ended up in the following way: KingRoot was partially removed, SuperSU got partially installed (installed, but not updated, so not usable), All the apps that had ROOT, lost their real root acccess, only 2 out of 15 apps managed to keep their root, and SuperSU could not "take over root for KingRoot", so I had to do a "factory reset" of the phone, and reinstalled KingRoot (only working way I've found to root that phone -yet) and then installed "NoRoot Firewall" (to prevent KingRoot from leaking) and "Servicely" (to kill the KingRoot service, over and over again)

I do agree, its a bit like that, but with "NoRoot Firewall" and "Servicely" I have managed to remove the two "problems" with that app (and other apps with the same behaviour) -- So I guess im gonna keep eating my medicine, so to speak, until I figure out if the traffic is some update stuff/some heartbeat stuff/just logging of the app, and what the app finds out about the system, and its usage while being KingRooted, or if they do indeed leak personal information aswell...

And i'd really like to know - do they leak personal info? So guess i'll keep trying, and asking... hehe...

FOR EVERYONE:

But for those that has seen a good page, for rooting, using some PC-Cable-Phone-solution, instead of an one-click-app, for a Samsung Core PRime LTE (SM-G360F), then please tell me... (preferrably a method you've tested with a similar phone)
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
I did find that you asked this question: ( xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60793447&postcount=144 ) but no easy answers discerned from the rest of the tread....

Your question is basically answered, by my question...

Whats in it for them, well, seems to be our free information....
[Android Apps and Games] :
I can confirm the super SU issue with kingroot you have described.

My device is a UK Bush Spira B1, and my own googling/looking for a rooting solution found the Bush Spira B1 to be in fact a rebranded Archos Neon CN50E.

The device runs stock Android (no bloatware) 4.4.2 KitKat.

Keen to root to use xposed, ect, king root was the only working root procedure for my device.

If I try SuperSu, I'm getting the same error message as described previously, and like you, there is no available custom recovery or roms available for my Bush.

I'm now running xposed, with various UI tweaks to give me the true and full stock lollipop/marshmallow look, the only thing I have noticed is xposed does cause my device to lag and slow down, sometimes quite severely, as I've found out in other forums on XDA.

Just thought I would add my experience to this post.
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
Thanks... So im not the only one to have tried, but failed, in replacing KingRoot with SuperSU (something in the system breaks, root stops working, you get stuck, and you reinstall)

Any new experience, is usally good experience...

PS: When it comes to the speed of your unit - have you ever tried downloading all the apps you like (plus google services, the updated version, after you have used google play, on your phone) (back them up to external sdcard), factory reset the phone, and then; avoid entering your gmail adress into the system at all costs, install the updated google services, then install your already downloaded apps, all without activating your gmail account on the phone (and use "Servicely" to stop parts of "Google Services" (like all the ads-services, and more, you'll see) then your device will probably run really smoothly, just like mine does....

PS: this breaks the SYNC feature of Gmail/Contacts(uploaded to gmail) and some other sync features (but my firefox sync between pc/mobile browser still works) But you can download all your contacts as a Vcard file from Gmail(contacs tab) and install your contacs from that file, inside your "contacs" app....

So basically no tracking from Google, the "google services" doesn't do that much when its not connected to a google email, and thus, more cpu-power for other things...

CCproxy and WireShark - Test 1

Well... I have installed a PROXY SERVER on my PC, called "CCproxy"

and, i've installed a proxy-settings-configurator (ProxyDroid) on my phone.

Thus, when I enable WIFI (only) on my phone, everything internet related connects to the proxy server (middle man server) on my computer (CCproxy)

So it can be logged and seen, most of what the phone does regarding to internet...

I have here, as you can see from a snapshot of my computer, a few POST (sending info away) requests to a site in China (the 14.17.43.* ip range) and these are from KingRoot app (they appeared when i restarted the kingroot app that i had disabled and force killed earlier, on my android)

[IMG="Wireshark and CCproxy logging traffic, between phone-pc-internet - Test 1"]http://alexdata.net/CCproxyAndWireshark.png[/IMG]

But the Wireshark program (also listening to my traffic, from pc to internet and back) also logged some hits during the same time, but I cant really say that I understand the info that wireshark has gathered...

[IMG="Wireshark and CCproxy logging traffic, between phone-pc-internet - Test 2"]http://alexdata.net/CCproxyAndWireshark2.png[/IMG]

And as you can see, it is uploading something to some ANALYTICS part of their site...

(wish I knew how to read WireShark logs)
[Android Apps and Games] badboy47:
^^interesting...thanks for your analysis. I am still digging on my end to see what I find and will be happy to share it once I do.
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
Nice!!!

Im a somewhat quick learner, so what kinds of approach are you using to figure out more? (I would love to help, and if it can be downloaded/installed/tweaked/learned then Im all for it) so what methods/idea's do you have when it comes to figuring out this traffic?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeFCaputo113:
Anyone who actually trusts KingRoot dev team is just digging their own grave. They're a shady Chinese company, and I would NEVER, EVER trust their app on my phone, let alone an app with root access!! I would uninstall ASAP and stay the hell away!
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
Well, by controlling the services running on the device, with "Servicely",

and funneling ALL internet traffic via VPN with a dedicated FIREWALL "NoRoot Firewall", and also using "Xposed Framework" with "Xprivacy" to change permissions for apps, I feel rather safe... Not completely safe, but as safe as one can feel on Android (remember: google is surely sending a LOT to their servers aswell, so if you're afraid that someone might listen in to your phone, you're on the wrong OS....

I stopped over 40 services, running under "Google Play Services" - lots of stuff there, that could potentially be used to track your every move on the phone....

I would claim that google also "has root" on your device - they made the system!

Also, stuff like location (gps/wifi/phonenetwork), keeps sending away information, as long as your phone is on and connected to a phone network, google also "read your mail" in order to produce ads based on its content.

I find "Google Play Services" just as bad as "KingRoot" when it comes to sending away of my personal information.... Just saying... And Facebook, Chrome, Snapchat, Whatsapp, Twitter, Hangouts, bla-di-bla-di-blah (too many to mention, puuh)

So most of "Google Play Services" has been disabled on my device, (i do use some of it) and my device is NOT connected to a Gmail account, most apps and services are denied access to most of the system via "Xprivacy" and all apps are routed through a firewall, so im feeling pretty okey about my phone now - much unlike how I felt when I bought it, as a leaking boat, it was, back then... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Yes, I've done that now, and have noticed a big difference, thanks for the heads up :D
[Android Apps and Games] alexdata:
You are most welcome!!!

I am always on the lookout for achieving the fastest speed/response on my phone, and the most secure setup, so if you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask, ask I might have tested something that worked for that specific problem... hehe ;)

One a nerd, always a nerd - once a modder, always a modder....

I have been trying to sync my Facebook contacts but it is not working. Is this a Facebook issue? I went to settings and added the Facebook account. I checked sync with your device. But just above that it says sync is off. I opened the Facebook app and went to the settings. There is no longer a box to check that says sync contacts. I tried using haxsync but it failed to pull any contact information.

The sync assistant only adds the info of the already existing contacts on your device

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKorbenDallas:
I have a SM-T810, which works pretty well when it comes to using my fingerprint to unlock the device itself. However, when I try to setup fingerprint login into BofA app, it always fails after reading my finger. The error message tells me to "try again later", but it is obvious that it just doesn't work and there's no point in "trying again later".

I tried to contact BofA mobile app support and received varying responses from them. The first guy said that even though Galaxy Tab S2 is not on their official supported device list for fingerprint login, the very fact that I see "fingerprint login" option in BofA app already means that the device should be supported.

The second guy took some time to figure out what device I have, initially claiming that it has no built-in fingerprint reader and that it is an "older device". When I explained to him that this device does have a reader and that this is actually as new as it gets, he suggested that I contact Samsung, since this is supposedly "their issue".

Anyway, did anyone have any success setting up fingerprint login for BofA mobile app? What about any other third-party apps?

It could not auto identify my device build number and failed to install factory image. When I checked online, it appears that LYZ28M is a T-mobile image. How can I get it back to factory to update the OTA or get my phone back to a build for Verizon. I have no idea how I manged to install a T-Mobile build on a Verizon device, is that even possible?

Hey guys, just wanted to say that I've already searched endlessly on this before making this post, appears to be a somewhat common problem but any solutions are few and far between.

I have an unlocked D850 that I am trying to use overseas (Personal, in Argentina). My phone is indeed unlocked, as GSM and Edge networks work without a problem. My phone is not receiving any 3G or LTE service. I have a D851 with identical APN settings sitting right next to it showing full bars of LTE, so I know that is not the problem. My carrier here uses 850/1900 for 3G and 1700 and 700 for LTE, the phone should be compatible with all these bands.

I have tried switching to Cloudy 2.5, CM12, and other roms, no luck. I have tried the intelli3G trick posted in another thread, no luck. I have tried purchasing another unlock code from a different service provider, no luck, the phone says its already unlocked. I have tried changing the bands in the service menu, but the phone does nothing, and forcing the phone to LTE only in CM and stock based roms, and the phone loses signal completely. I haven't tried switching to a different radio/modem, but I'd be willing to try.

Does anyone else have any suggestion or recommendation for me, I'd be able to provide screenshots and logcats, but please don't tell me that I spent several hundred dollars for a phone that can't even stream music without stuttering. Thank you for looking
[AT&T LG G3] tanaysrivastava23:

Do on your own risk.

I was able to re-enable 4g back on my device.

3845#*850#

go to LTE ONLY menu

modem settings

VoLTE Radio NV

Turn it On

Reboot.

4g would start working.

For 3g : Make a backup of your EFS using twrp.

tinker with WCDMA settings using the same code.

See if you can enable back your 3g as well.

go into settings and search all networks will tell you if 2g/3g/4g are being detected by your phone.
