Same here, I would stay away until a dev and/or mod has a chance to check it out, mainly because its on a Chinese website and this would be a perfect way for them to get all your info and you did all the work for them. Kinda like the iMessage app.

A discussion about the root tool the original poster posted a link for has been going on in this forum since 12 Sep 2013. Read thread titled [ROOT] SGP312 FTF 10.3.1.C.0.136 Root (No need OTA). Several people have said they successfully gained root access using the tool. Also read threads titled Root for SGP311/10.3.1.C.0.136? beginning at post 14, and [ROOT][SHARE] VRoot 1.6.0.3690 - 1-Click Root Method - Lenovo A706, Walkman F800 etc.

I have bot used this tool. Just wanted to day that on my other tablet (a china retina tab) i allways use a chinese tool with great success.

Be it hiding from a country, a company or an individual, if you want to stay safe, take the battery out of your devices, unplug, disconnect and stay away from all networked infrastructure - telephones, easypass, credit cards, passports, store loyalty cards...

How does being suspicious about a root exploit that popped up on a Chinese site overnight make me blame Chinese hackers for all my problems as normal? I don't blame the Chinese for anything, I would be suspicious of this no matter where it popped up if they went about releasing it the same way. It is always good to be suspicious about root exploits and to look into it instead of just going with it.
You need to take a chill pill and understand that not everyone is badmouthing people all the time, when they posted a warning to ,make people think before they just went with a root exploit and to double check that nothing malicious is being injected along with it.

so does this actually work? I just got my tablet, it did an update as soon as itr connected to the internet, im assuming it was a software/firmware update...
I want to root the tablet, but i dont think i will change the ROM bacause the standard one seems really good, but i do want to be able to use titanium backup!
With this rooting method do i need to have an unlocked bootloader?
thanks

Kingo root malware?

So before finding out about this I have already rooted with it and now all of the xda admins are advising not to use this. After a good bit of reading I guess this app has sent www.wmshua.com my imei. It uses their exploit and their patches and makes it seem like they made a root method. This is a deceptive app and I wish I would have never used it. The lest this app developer could have done was change the layout of the program and download all the patches and hosted them himself. Not I fear some conglomerate in China has my imei and will use it at a later date to do a worldwide hack or something. I understand there is no going back so I'll just uninstall the app and hope nothing bad comes from this....

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Yea it was. Someone needs to dissect the program, see what info is collected, what is downloaded, and what's transfered to the phone and all that dissected. I don't have hardly any knowledge on how to do this but I'm about to attempt this. I wish I had a whole day and a couple adderall I could dedicate to digging into this.

I'm in no special hurry to root my 9005, so I can happily wait for the next version. Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than I can take that *.exe apart and so what load it carries, if any.
In any case caution is a virtue...
Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk

The reason manufacturers and carriers do not like rooting is the security issues. It has nothing to do with them trying to prevent tethering or modifications. With that said any root method not developed and hosted on XDA by a known developer should be used with extreme caution. Exploits are not required to have source posted and it takes a great deal of time and effort to reverse them to see what they do.

I would encourage everyone to make their own decisions on this. I'm keeping my Kingo root, as I contacted them and was satisfied with the response I received. I like open source as much as the next guy, but not every piece of software can be open source. That doesn't mean that the application is malware.

So what exactly could they do with said information? There's nothing extra running on our phones after using it to root. Plus its not like they didn't actually supply us with a simple root method. I could understand the concern if it didn't work

I have to agree with you. I'm not even remotely worried about it. The program works.
It scares people on here, so maybe not host it on XDA, but Kingo has their own site.

I understand the fear. Its also interesting that they have a root method for many devices. So maybe they have a reason to not be so open. Maybe they've found the mother of exploits and they don't want it to be closed.
Or with all this talk about how they want to keep root free but pay their devs means they are going to use this super exploit to lock devices and charge people to unlock them in order to use it. Idk I'll wait a day or 2 and see what comes of this whether that's a good idea or not idk. Time will tell. Either way I've got designgears' one click stock on my PC just in case.

If you wanted to be safe, couldn't you just disconnect from the Internet while you root and then reconnect after? Or does it require an active Internet connect to root?

As far as can be seen the information is grabbed and sent during the rooting process which is why it will not work without an active internet connection. Kingo is working on a revision to remove the data collection.

Root question

Before the entitled members say use the search bla bla bla
I've used the search, I've looked around and can't find a good answer.
I got my phone from Verizon, came with the MJ7 update. Is there a safe root for this yet? I dont trust Kingo and that other one they claim is malicious.
Thanks..........:beer:

I wouldn't use vroot. Mainly because I don't speak or read Chinese.
I think I read somewhere that they are working on an update to Root de la Vega. You might check that thread.

hoping this thread don't get shut down.... so before i say this (USER RESEARCH KINGO BEFORE USING IT... it sends information to a server so BEWARE)
I've tried multiple times to root with KINGO and it will NOT work.... I have no clue why...... got debugging set etc..... wtf.. anyone else not working for them? i'm on MJ7

They won't close the thread for mentioning Kingo. At least I don't think they will. You just can't link to it.
As far as will it work, it definitely will. I had my doubts too after putting MJ7 on via Odin. I must have tried close to 20 times on 3 different computers and just when I had all but given up, it worked.

I can't honestly answer that with 100% certainty, but I used it. The problem that the XDM guys had with kingo was that it collected and sent your IMEI back to there servers. According to kingo they don't use that information, shouldn't have been collecting it to start with and will remove it in a future update.
My experience with them is that I used their support email link to ask about the problem I was having getting root back and received a reply in about two hours. As it turns out, I had already gotten it to work by then, but the guy emailed again to make sure I had verified that Knox hadn't been tripped and to make sure I knew that the status would show "custom". This did not strike me as a person who was trying to steal anything from me or use my info for any malicious means. Why would someone go to that much trouble, or even testing on the first place if they were only out for MEID info. Of course, I've been duped before.

Make sure your AntiVirus software is disabled on your PC also.

I did not disable my antivirus when I ran it. It said it failed not supported but supersu ended up in app drawer anyway. Used it to get safestrap installed, boot to SS flash the good su from chainfires site. Thats what I did

I gave in and used kingo after the root de la vega method stopped working. I also had my reservations about this, but as far as i can tell, tons of guys have used them with no issue, including a lot of prominent devs on this site. So far so good, running the beans rom and i have no regrets.

Most antivirus programs will see any root exploit as potentially bad. I think you should do some light reading on how root is obtained, you'll quickly realize it's essentially a virus/exploit. If you are this worried about security you probably shouldn't root anyway.

On the s6 we rooted just by repacking the ramdisk with some scripts to install busybox and superuser and then flashing in Odin. I'm not sure if that's how it works here too but I may give it a shot.

If you use Kingroot, I'm sure it will happen soon, I personally have not seen one device that Kingroot can't handle. You may just have to do it a couple of times.
Don't use chrome to download it detects this as virus or a bad file. They don't want you to root android phones.
