Okay from the beginning. I first tried to root my galaxy s4(mk2) using klingo. That pushed the weird Chinese version superuser and put the custom boot logo on. Strangely though i still didn't have root access (tried checking with root checker said i didn't have it). So then i was like whatever and continued on with my day. After three or so days i came across this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 . So I did it step by step, it pushed supersu onto my device but i still don't have root access and it doesn't let me uninstall superuser or supersu. Any ideas of how i can get root and/or uninstall superuser and supersu and getting rid of the custom boot logo.

Hey guys so i got a brand new GT I9500 today and first thing i did was attempt to root it. I've installed CWM + Clicked root device + New Method..
Now after rebooting and what not; Root checker shows that it IS rooter, meanwhile whenever i launch SuperSU it just shows the loading symbol.. Nor can any applications take root access. To top it off, i cant uninstall/update/reinstall supersu from now ..
Any suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
As dumb as it may be.. Somehow my SU updated via play store which messed up the binaries. I reinstalled SuperSU from CWM package and voila! Perfect now.

I have a SM-G900W8 currently on stock Android 5.1.1. I rooted my device with Odin. My phone was supposed to boot into recovery on it's own during the rooting process, which it didnt. It just rebooted normally. SuperSU wasnt in my apps so I downloaded it from the PlayStore and downloaded also a root checker. The Root Checker confirmed that my phone was rooted. When I open SuperSU, I see the Root Checker app in the apps tab. But SuperSu then asks to update binary and when I press yes, it fails everytime and asks me to reboot and try again. Any ideas ?
I have rooted my L8lite using Kingroot and it was successful (I think), but now I can't get rid of Kingroot if my life depended on it.
Things I have tried so far:
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/tutorial-how-to-root-bootloader-unlock-t3314786
- Replacing Kingroot with SuperSU using SuperSU-Me application from here: https://androidmtk.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu
- Removing Kingroot using the option of SuperSU to remove other SU apps
- Uninstalling from Kingroot options menu
- Restoring a backup previously made using adb
- Factory reset
None of this worked. Please for the love of god someone tell me how to remove that piece of malware from my phone. I am frustrated beyond measure and extreme close to completely giving up.
Is my only option flashing? Would that help with removing Kingroot?
Thank you.
Update: I upgraded to Android 6.0 from local storage using an update I downloaded from Huawei's official website (http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-emui-4-0-android-6-0-single-sim-ale-t3360097). Kingroot is no longer there and Root checker app says the phone is no longer rooted. Curiously, SuperSU and SuperSU-Me are still there, but I removed them using app manager without hassle. Am I in the clear now?
Update 2: After rebooting using "adb reboot bootloader" command it seems that bootloader is still unlocked, which is good. Now I have to find a better way to unroot.
Getting rid of kingroot
Hey bujamin,
Kingroot is a powerful app and removing it without losing root is a near impossible task.
However, I have a solution, not a programmed flashable zip or something but just a way to get rid of Kingroot using existing tools.
My solution :
1. Use kingroot to root your device.
2. Get a custom recovery after you acquired root with KingRoot, preferably TWRP (bear with KingUser).
3. Open Kingroot and in Settings you will find an option to Remove Root authorisation or Uninstall kingroot (depending on the version). This will remove Kingroot completely and unroot your phone too.
4. Since, you have a custom recovery installed now, you no longer need Kingroot to acquire root access.
5. Get the latest SuperSu flashable zip from here.
6. Access the recovery and install the SuperSu zip that you downloaded.
7. A Success message and an option to reboot system will be shown.
8. Reboot.
SuperSu has now been installed and can be found in your app drawer. Your phone is now rooted.
Read my full thread (with detailed explanation) here and leave comments for further clarifications.
Rooted successfully with Kingoroot then after I rebooted I lost root. So I opened kingoroot again so I could re root, but it now says I have root and the option to root the phone that's normally there is gone. Just says "Have Root" and the only option I have is to open the kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling kingoroot and still have the same problem. How can I re root my device.
I also can't remove the Kingo superuser app until I am rooted again and can delete system files. Other wise it's stuck on there. So I need root again ASAP
You could re-install stock firmware with Odin and then re-do kingo root. Or you might be able to install TWRP in Odin and flash SuperSu.
I Have SM-G5520 Nougat, I rooted it successfully here
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...g5520-g5520zcu1brb1-nougat-root-twrp-t3772104
But, as mentioned there, I run Flashfire, Grant root access, Browse for GApps.zip and flash it, but after click on flash screen goes black and didn't show any proccess of flashing GApps.
After waiting 2 - 4 Hours, There was still a black screen like my phone is off and I restart my phone. Now there is not a single GApp installed there. Please help me to flash GApps.
I continue my research on rooting and flashing and i got some points that are below,
1. Magisk is system-less root that's why when ever i tried any app to modify system folder or root directory my phone got restart.
2. I tried SuperSU system-less but the device isn't going to root.
3. I tried King Root, Kingoapp, OneClickRoot, Dr. Phone root, iRoot and much more with and without PC but my device was not going to root but only Magisk root my device.
4. I tried CFAuto Root with all modifications but due to my phone didn't have "OEM Unlock" option, flashing CF Root cause failure.
5. I tried to push GApps into Original Firmware, but that way takes a lot time and i failed there because of security reasons (And that was my first attempt to modify "Firmware" I must failed ).
All the conclusion of my work let me know that i have to root my SM-G5520 Nougat as system root that will going to work 100% to flash GApps.
Now Please help me to root system wise and flashing GApps.
Thanks Advance
