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.

HI! I flashed Slimbean rom on my lg l7 p705. It was a success, then i installed apps for rooted phone but when i try to open them it says that application needs root acces. I also downloaded root checker to check if my phone was unroot, and yes it was unroot, it doesn't have root access. I tried to root it again using framaroot and vroot but no luck. HOW CAN I REROOT MY PHONE?

Sorry I cant give you a link,because I'm on my phone..
Go to google and search SuperSU. Go to his official thread on xda, download flashable zip for the latest version, reboot in recovery and flash
Now you have root access
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.
I'm trying to root my device using PurpleDrake. The installation goes just fine, no errors, I am told that it is now rooted. However neither Root Checker nor SuperSu detect root. Any help?
EDIT: Nevermind, decided to go for different root method.
So I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU using the kingo root apk. And it installed it's version of superuser. But when I rebooted my tablet I lost root. So I attempted to re root using kingo again but when I open kingo it says I have root already and the button to begin rooting my degice is no longer therw. All I can do is go to kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried deleting the kingoroot app and reinstalling and still saying I'm already rooted. So it won't let me re-root using kingo since it thinks I am rooted and the button to root no longer is available. What should I do. I need root back in order to get rid if the kingo Superuser. And I would just like to have root in general since that was my main goal in the first place
Why would you want to use Kingoroot, when you have a perfectly working TWRP available for this device?
Cause I assumed I needed kingo root working in order to remove kingo superuser
