I rooted my phone using kingroot before and after removing al root authorization i found that kingroot has been installed as system app

also whenever i open the kingroot app it restarts my phone

how could i completely remove it

there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)

my phone is NTT Docomo Sony Xperia SO-O4E

tried factory reset twice, deleting cached apps data, still doesnt work

a basic rundown on how it all happened :

-uninstall some bloatware from phone

-phone starts to restart randomly

-deleted cached apps data, no more random restart

-remove kingroot root auth and uninstall

-found out that phone cannot connect to play store, also kingroot has installed itself as system app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shevtak:
If your bootloader is already unlocked, the easiest way would be to restart the phone in fastboot mode, then boot (you don't need to flash it) TWRP and install SuperSU from a flashrecovery zipfile. This will remove kingroot app and running processes (mind you, there may be some dead kingroot traces left over on the filesystem - if you want to remove these too, you'll have to do so from a shell with root permissions). I haven't tried this with the Sony Xperia ZR/NTT Docomo Sony Xperia A (SO-04E), but it seems to work with most phones that are supported by TWRP. I wrote a short guide on how to do this (it's for a different device but these steps should be mostly generic if you have the necessary prerequisites in place).

Another good thing about SuperSU is that if you don't wish to keep root, it will remove itself cleanly and completely from your system (you'll find the unroot option in the apps settings). If however you would like to keep root, then SuperSU is an app that doesn't spy on you and doesn't phone home (I did a thorough check of the shell script used to install SuperSU and a rough check of the SuperSU apk using strings and wireshark only yesterday and as far as I could tell, it doesn't attempt to do anything malicious or touch files that it doesn't need to touch for its purpose, nor did it start a single internet connection by itself). The automatic NVISO analysis at https://apkscan.nviso.be/report/show/99a7841aa3eeaefa69f767602b0c454c confirms this too. Just saying this in case you decided to move away from root due to spyware concerns.

TWRP is an open source project. Their Homepage is https://twrp.me/

The TWRP image files for your device arel located here https://dl.twrp.me/dogo/

SuperSU homepage is https://www.chainfire.eu/ , the latest flashrecovery zipfile can be found here http://www.supersu.com/download

Both projects also have their own sections here on xda.

SuperSU also has it's own sections here on xda.

Was this problem related to the rooting process in any way?

Does your internet access work otherwise?

What happens exactly when you start google play?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonweeb:
hi, thank you for the reply

the phone has only been rooted once with kingroot app, which i have removed (both the supposed app and the root auth), but kingroot app installed itself as system app without my permission and whenever i open the app my phone reboots

i'll try looking for ways to flash the phone

as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem

i tried following the steps from google help page but it doesnt seem to do anything

i'm thinking that the hosts.txt file cause this so im trying to delete it, but i found no other way to delete it without rerooting my phone

i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either

thanks before and sorry for the late reply

EDIT : i dont think i can unlock the bootloader officially so i need an exploit
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shevtak:
[/QUOTE]

In that case, you will have to root first. Once having gained root access you can unlock the bootloader. To root, you can either use the kingroot app you used before (not much to loose, since you already installed it and its spyware the first time, and you will later be able to remove it with SuperSU). Or you can try towelroot, although if your smartphone has seen firmware updates, that will propably no longer work. There may be other, more current options - search trough the Xperia ZR Section.

Once you have root, you can use adb and fastboot to boot the latest TWRP for Sony Xperia ZR, then install the latest SuperSU recovery flashable zip. Using that you can completely remove Kingroot even as a system app and afterwards remove SuperSU itself, which will cleanly uninstall itself via Settings.

as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem

I would try the above first, see if the playstore works again after you SuperSU has completely removed Kingroot (reboot), and if it doesn't take a look at the hosts file. Then uninstall SuperSU when you don't need root anymore...

I can help along with adb/fastboot commands, but you need to root your device first (and install the necessary drivers for your phone on your computer).

Good luck!

[General Marketing & SEO] Raisa Grande:
Hello, I’m here to share my thoughts and tips about the Android app promotion:)

Here are the most useful tips which I have learnt promoting my Android Apps:

1) Start promoting your App while it’s still developing.

2) Make an announcement about your Application in news break. List its pros, benefits, emphasize strong sides. It helps to warm up the user’s perception and become more loyal to the newly released application.

3) Maximize its effectiveness in your inner market. I mean it must stand out among the similar applications and become visible for users when they type its name in search line. ASO service will help you to be different and recognized – pay attention on title, description, screenshots, and presence of keywords.

4) Use SMM channel. Talk as much as possible about your application in social networks, thematic blogs and forums.

5) Maintain AdWords campaign – it would provide you solely target audience on your App installation.

6) Use incent traffic service which provide you installs and high rate reviews– it cost not much, but ensure inflow of organic audience.

7) If you have several similar application – not use the same marketing campaign – try different channels and test measurements.

8) Run the keyword install campaigns for the cheapest rankings growth and raise your organic traffic

Would be great if people will add their own thoughts/marketing cases here. Concerning the different ad networks/platforms etc:angel:
[General Marketing & SEO] JimmyBuckets:
Check out APPSPIRE.me

If you really want to invest in making your app the next big thing, you should check out APPSPIRE.me, a mobile app marketing agency. They guarantee results and are super easy to work with. To be honest, they are the real deal. If you have a little bit of money to spend to get your app huge, I really recommend that you check them out.
[General Marketing & SEO] Julia Ozmitel:
pay attention to your existing users

I may share one more tip :)

You might have developed an excellent app, but you might be forgetting about retention and loyalty. Observing recent app store algorithm updates, you can see that retention and app usage metrics are getting more important for the app stores than ever. Loyal users are about to be even more value for both Apple App Store as well as Google Play Store Algorithm.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Kbeinor:
Okay let me explain situation...

I wanted to unlock bootloader,install twrp, root it and install custom rom

I did unlock bootloader with SKRToolHuawei and it was pretty easy,also I installed twrp, then I installed SuperSu in my phone and everything was fine.

Until i dowloaded wrong version of CM 14.1, being a massive noob i though i could change my android 6.0.1 to 7.1 and i got the wrong gaps. In the tutorial it said to wipe cache,dalvid and system. Once i deleted system and got a fail error i realized what I have done and tried cm 13 (Meticulus) and again i got an error message saying that i need twrp version of meticulus.

So I dowloaded that version tried to install with adb using command:

1.Fastboot reboot bootloader

2.Fastboot flash recovery (In the tutorial it said its going to replace old version of twrp so I don't have to delete it)

And I rebooted my Huawei and it does't have a custom recovery for some reason. Now SKRToolHuawei and adb does't see my device and I'm in panic because I don't know what to do: crying::crying::crying:

Nothing works for me and I really need my phone.

Please help poor man out :crying:

So I'm currently on PureNexus / NOF27C.

I'm assuming if there is an updated baseband / radio with O, I can simply flash these and won't have any repercussions?

IIRC the baseband / bootloader has no effect over the version of the OS, right?

Edit: flashed new bootloader and radio from O on 7.1.2 PN fine.

FYI regarding double tap to wake, you need to double tap to wake phone then double tap again to release ambient display, then swipe up to unlock to phone.

It is weird but also seems logical when you just want to check time but not wake the phone by accidentally touching it to wake it completely.

But still sucks ?
