kingo root is safe, if it dumbs anything onto your phone just delete them, i have safely rooted a couple cheap phones with it and see no problem.

I can verify this, too. I rooted about 5-6 devices with it, and it did it flawlessly with them all.
What I remember using it with is the Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100 and i9100g) and a Tab 3 and others which I don't remember.
However, all it does is that it installs SuperSU to your device only, and nothing else. One Click Root is also as known as Kingo, but it installs a custom recovery, too, if you choose to.

I never heard about it, but I just googled it and you seem to be right. But I had it rooted for more than 8 months now, and I see no problems at all. I think that it uploads your IMEI code to their servers for 2 reasons. To know what is your device and get the correct rooting files so that it doesn't load your computer with a huge amount of files for devices that you don't have, and the 2nd reason is maybe they keep a counter or something like that of the number of devices rooted using their app. I said I am not sure about this, but I predict these are the reasons. And again, I didn't have any issues at all since I rooted my phone. However, if you just want to feel safe you can use One Click Root.

It's about trust! I don't know which phone/s you own, but for Sony smartphones/phablets there's Flashtool.
Personally, I prefer rooting my phone with Flashtool.
Some of its key features:
- unlock bootloader
- root
- ROM flashing
- kernel flashing
I never tried Kingo and I've heard only bad things about it.
What I used in the past- never experienced any trouble- is Vroot. Just to be sure, I followed these steps:
Install Vroot
Let it download the drivers for your phone
Turn off your Internet Connection
Connect phone
Root it
uninstall Vroot
delete all "leftovers"
It won't work with Kingo. Kingo wants you to stay connected to the Internet for some odd reasons. I'm paranoid, so I would never recommend it! What if it sends your phone's IMEI, ID, number to their servers?
Again, it's all about trust!

How do you know it doesn't send your sensitive info to there servers before you turn off your internet connection? ??

I guess it depends on what you consider "safe".
I used KingoRoot to root my tablet, and after it was done, I found under Developer Options, Process, these KingoRoot background apps ...
SuperUser (ads.process)
SuperUser
Its the first one, that fits my definition of "unsafe".

I know this thread is old but I thought I'd add more warnings to Kingoroot.
I just tried to root my phone using Kingoroot. The apk installed and root just fine on Android 4.x.x. and it does require internet connection. It doesnt tell u what it uses it for.
Any ways, I tried to use Kingoroot again on Android 7.x.x and the apk failed the root so I downloaded the PC rooting program from their site. Low and behold, it downloaded a bunch of malwares and virus as bundle.
Long story short, stay far far away from Kingoroot.

KingoRoot update 2018
So installing the Kingoroot Android for PC on my laptop = loads of ****e installed on laptop
Running kingoroot and connecting phone = failed root & loads of ****e installed on phone.
So NO. This software only installs crapware, and does not root android LG phones
(tried with 3 phones - silly me!!)
PROOF AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
(wankers)

Thanks for your suggestion, will leave away from it.

Can Kingoroot be made "safe"?
I've read plenty of sketchy stuff about Kingoroot. Even so, suppose you use a phone that has no SIM card, that has no Gmail (or a fake Gmail) account attached to it. If Kingoroot would root such a phone, couldn't you get root with it then install TWRP, use TWRP to completely wipe the device, then either reinstall rooted stock or a custom ROM?

Sure I have, and you can expect this to be common practice on every corner. That's just the reality of today's big data collection. So I wouldn't exactly call the root "unsafe" based on that.

Sorry, which craps installed on your laptop?

Currently I didn't see nothing suspicious, so if you give me the name of the crap installed I can search on my devices.

[Q] Acer Talk S A1-724 Root Method

Hi There,
Does anyone know how I can root an Acer Talk S (A1-724)?
It's still new but I'm hoping someone knows?
Thank you.

1. Try Framaroot or Towelroot app
2. If above do not work try on computer: Kingo Android ROOT, Root Genius, iRoot etc.
3. Best root method is flash Chainfire SuperSU (hxxp://download.chainfire.eu/supersu) in custom recovery like CWM, TWRP.
PS. When you find custom recovery sometimes bootloader prevent from flash it to your device and the only way is to unlock it.

Tried all the above root methods, still no luck...
Any other ideas? I really need to root this unit since it has a battery issue that constantly states 100% I never know when it's going to shutdown.

How to root Acer Iconia Talk S A1-724 for sure

Trying to root Kyocera Hydro Wave model C6740N

Title pretty much says it all. I've tried countless one click root programs with no progress whatsoever. I've spent hours searching and nothing comes up for this phone. Does anyone know a way to root this thing??

same here, a guy who works for kyocera told me that this model cant be put into recovery mode. Any help appreciated

I'm joining the request. As stated above, I've combed the web for anything on it with no success. Is this because of the fairly new release? Or possibly the trouble they're in because of Microsoft?
Either way I feel there should be an exploit out for it by now...

I too am looking fir an exploit for this device, and have scoured Google, Bing, and Yahoo, only to find nothing.

This model (Hydro Wave C6740N) CAN be put into Recovery Mode, using ADB.
Since Windows (edit: XP) USB drivers for the C6740N Wave are not released by Kyocera (yet), you (edit: can) use a Linux or OS X machine to connect using USB, to use ADB on the C6740N. (Since USB connection to C6740N "just works" on those platforms.)
I have used ADB on a Macbook running OS X to reboot my Hydro Wave into Recovery Mode, and performed cache wipe successfully. Also performed backups using ADB.
Kyocera advised (via email) that the Wave can be put into Recovery using Volume Down + Power key combo. Not true, the key combo does not work.
Kyocera also advised (via chat) that the Windows USB driver for any Hydro family device will work for the Wave. Also not true (I tried it). (Edit: I tried the drivers with Windows XP. It looks like the Kyocera Windows USB drivers may simply be USB modem drivers only, on any case.)
OS X or Linux using ADB is the ticket, no USB driver necessary. (Edit: But see other posts about using Windows 10 too.)
I'm also keenly interested in rooting the C6740N, but an absolute noob. The C6740N has a lot going for it, but a few shortcomings that root would enable resolving. If anyone knows of a way to root it, we would be most grateful to hear about it.

Tried about everything else too and nothing works

There's a working driver in Windows 10, but KingoRoot still fails. I almost tried King Root, but it's all in Chinese. I was going to try Framaroot but gave up when the download link resulted in an endless survey loop to win a free $100 Visa card (yeah....... GO F**K YOURSELF). I really want to root this thing. MetroPCS has this thing loaded full of bloatware and the Google BS I never use (google+ MUST DIE) is just eating storage space and what tiny bit of RAM is left. It's a nice phone but the inability to overclock the CPU, delete bloatware, and turn my 4GB SD Card into RAM really leaves alot to be desired.

The phone can be put into recovery using adb on windows.but that's as far as that goes.Cant find any way to root.Hope we get one soon.

So I think we should make a list of what root methods that did not work. That way we wont get hassled of what does not work

Kingo Root: FAIL
Towelroot: FAIL
Framaroot: UNKNOWN
King Root: UNKNOWN (Can't read Chinese)

Could you use a kill file that would reset all data including disabling some things

Root genius fails
King root fails
Kingoroot fails
Iroot fails
Framaroot fails
Towelroot fails
I'm thinking you gotta unlock the boot loader , but I can't put into fast boot mode or boot onto the boot loader for any adb fastboot commands to work. I can get to recovery in adb , and in the recovery menu I select boot to boot loader but it boots normally. I really want to root this thing!!

I just noticed that they're are any way to root the latest lolipop unless your on 5.0.2 ( BTW I checked kingroot and checked the request of our device and its almost to 1000

Subbing 'cuz I just got it and want it rooted. How do I request it from Kingroot?

If he rooted the phone he sent the reply from, he's unfortunately in the wrong thread. The C6530N is the Hydro Life. We're trying to root the C6740N which is the Hydro Wave. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
On the other hand, if he's using the Hydro Life to post in the forum but has successfully rooted the Hydro Wave, we would all love to know just how you did it. My Hydro Wave is running worse than an Alcatel Evolve on the stock setup. We need root badly.

Speaking of root exploits such as Framaroot, see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...droid_users_creates_hijackable_global_botnet/
Which links to the original exposé:
https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/09/guaranteed_clicksm.html
...which notes that this Android botnet malware uses Framaroot and other root exploits. I wonder if some of these Chinese root exploit tools themselves (Framaroot, Kingoroot, etc.) carry a hidden malware payload.
....

Hi I've tried everything also but I also tried this program for tablets called zuse toolkit & it seems to get something through cause it reboots & optimizes or upgrade apps I'm not too sure which one but if someone out there knows how to modifie the way this zuse toolkit roots then maybe we have a chance of rooting this new phone oh & after it optimizes or upgrades the apps I check for root permissions and it still says it does not have root permissions so yea...

Hello guys. Its been a few days since i joined this wonderful forums. After going through the threads and posts created by our fellow users, i found out that atleast 30%-40% of the users face rooting issues or many are unaware of how the rooting process goes about for their device. Some brick their phones while rooting and then come panicking asking for help. Now you don't need to worry guys because in this thread i have covered all the available rooting methods with and without PC (However if i have missed anything please do mention in your posts ). If one method fails to work then you can always try the other. Further this thread also includes the general and common methods of recovering a soft-bricked phone or a phone which entered a bootloop while rooting.
Rooting with PC requires you to either flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM on your phone and then boot into the recovery and flash your root.zip file (or) by simply connecting your phone to your PC and let the rooting program do everything for you in one click or maybe two :fingers-crossed: . Rooting without PC is a simple android app that roots your phone in a click.
NOTE:
1) ALWAYS TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES, SMS, CALL LOGS ETC.
2) YOU NEED AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER FOR ANY FLASHING! SOME GUYS SIMPLY ROOT WITHOUT UNLOCKING THEIR DEVICE BOOTLOADER. SO IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG NOTHING CAN BE DONE.
3) YOU CAN TRY WHICH EVER METHOD YOU WANT TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE BUT I WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND YOU TO FIRST TRY THE ANDROID ROOTING APPS FOR YOUR PHONE BEFORE GOING TO PC STAGE.
Advantages of Rooting:​
Rooting your android mobile has several advantages but here i have listed some of the best advantages, you will get after rooting your phone.
1) Access all files of your mobile which are present in the root directory of your storage or else by giving root permissions, you can Edit or Delete any system file.
2) Increase your mobile performance by over clocking, by changing the frequency of CPU using 3rd party applications or by simply installing a custom kernel already developed for your device.
3) Increase battery life by under clocking CPU of your device.
4) Installing Custom ROMS which will change the entire looks as well as performance of your device.
5) Internal Memory can be increased which means more room for your apps.
6) Finally, Truly Own your Device, Make it appear in the way you want.
Disadvantages of rooting:​
1) Your phone might hard brick. The process of rooting android mobile is very risky and has to be carried out with extreme caution. Any wrong step in rooting can cause your phone to hard-brick.
2) There may be data loss while rooting your mobile. However this is only with those phones which require their bootloader to be unlocked.
3) Warranty of your android mobile can be lost when you root it. This is one of main reason why most decide to keep their android phone unrooted as they cannot take risks with warranty of their mobiles but you can still unroot anytime to get your warranty back as some apps listed below provides unroot. For samsung users, your knox warranty will get triggered if you do any sort of flashing. Using the mobile rooting applications is quite safe if you dont want to destroy your warranty.
For samsung users, your knox warranty will get triggered if you do any sort of flashing. Using the mobile rooting applications is quite safe if you don't want to destroy your warranty.
Pressing the thanks button will hardly take a second. Your thanks encourages and motivates me. :good:

I know there are some more programs available to root android devices but these are confirmed working. By now you would surely be having root access. If not and you used some other method to root then send me the link so that i can update this thread. To check whether you have root access or not download rootchecker app from here http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/qghHr9UD/file.html
ROOTING USING TWRP/CWM/PHILZ TOUCH​1) Download the custom recovery for your device. It will be either recovery.tar.md5 for samsung users or recovery.img for fastboot users.
2) Flash with ODIN or fastboot.
Fastboot command used:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery[COLOR="Red"] recovery.img[/COLOR]
Please note your recovery must be in the same directory of fastboot. recovery.img is the name of your custom recovery.img file.
3) Now you have a working recovery installed on your device. Next step is to download the flashable rooting zip file. I will recommend SuperSu always. Download from supersu.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip
4) Navigate to the location where you have downloaded the .zip file and flash via recovery.
HOW TO RECOVER YOUR BRICKED DEVICE (COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS)
​What Is Bricked Android Phone and Tablet
Before getting to the guide of unbricking your Android phone and tablet, try to know the 2 types of Android brick device, soft bricked one and hard bricked one.
Soft bricked device - It can still boot into recovery mode or be stuck on the logo. And you have big chance to unbrick it just by flashing a stock ROM or flashing a recovery file.
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button. Thus hard bricked devices cannot be recovered as they are just dead.
If your device is soft-bricked, it may:
1) Keeps Rebooting;
2) Be unable to boot;
3) Boots Straight Into Recovery;
4) Boots Straight Into its Bootloader;
5) Freeze at the start up screen;
BOOTLOOP FIX:
Your device is stuck in boot loop, that is your device keeps rebooting when you are flashing a new ROM and you forgot to wipe all the data of the previous ROM, and your device boots every time with some error and hence will keep rebooting. I would always try the classical method of removing the battery for a few seconds, then put it back in, enter recovery, clear cache and reboot. It always worked for me. In case it doesnt work for you then follow these steps:
Go to recovery mode – press volume up + home screen button + power button does it.
Scroll down to “Advanced”.
Choose “Wipe Dalvik Cache” option.
Return to the main screen.
Choose “Wipe Cache Partition”.
Choose “Wipe Data / Factory Reset” to delete all your settings and apps, using the correct ROM.
Reboot your device.:good:
RECOVERY BOOTLOOP FIX:
OPTION 1: I have taken a samsung device into consideration here. For others you have to use fastboot for flashing the respective files.
Run Odin using an administrator account on your Windows PC.
Switch off your device, go to download mode (volume plus + home screen button + power button ), then press volume up to continue and connect to your PC. When Odin recognizes your device, click PDA option and navigate to the recovery.tar file where you have downloaded it. Select recovery file and hit START. The flashing process will complete and Odin will show a PASS button with green background, your device will be rebooted.
OPTION 2:
If the above method doesn't solve your problem then you have no option but to flash the official stock firmware either using odin or fastboot which may result in apps and data loss in some cases.
BOOTS STRAIGHT INTO ITS BOOTLOADER; FREEZE AT START UP SCREEN FIX:
Simply flash the stock firmware.
NOT BOOTING:
If you can enter download mode or fastboot mode then you are good to go. Simply flash the firmware. If it doesn't boot at all then i am sorry, you have hard bricked your device.
I hope my thread has helped you out. I would recommend you to try KIngRoot first (both PC and W/O PC).
Regards.

Hi, I have a Asus Zenfone Go ZB452KG
And Im trying to root it but I only see guides to the Go ZC500TG/Z00VD (using the search of the forum and around internet).
I even found a person with my same question but the link they gave didnt contained info for the ZB452KG but for the ZC500TG.
I found a couple of websites around internet but they seem suspicious, someone have the same phone and knew how to do it ? Or someone else know where i can find a trustfull root way ?
Thanks

Hi, I've been active on the XDA forums for a while, and spend most of my time in the forums for my samsung galaxy note 101" 2014 smp600. This puppy has been flashed, formatted, bricked and fubarred many times. I'm currently running the Orion build of Marshmallow from this site. I recently
got the same model for my wife which has OEM upgrades to Android 5.11
Both of these tabs need work which my usual forums won't provide support, (or a response)for. I need to A: change my bootloader to the KK version in order to comply with the requirements of a Nougat ROM (which was unstable with my current bootloader. Funny that when I asked about identifying a bootloader, all I got was a snippy reply that the bootloader is "named" the same as the droid version it came with??? All I know is that I NEED to getthis bootloader onto my sp600. HEREIN lies my concern: I HAVE ODIN setup on a laptop, with CFautoroot, and the Windows drivers, etc. I DID work on my tab a few years ago. But I do NOT, in any way TRUST said setup to run on either of the sp600 I have.
So, I am NOT a noob, I have experience flashing almost anything on several devices. THIS is MY question: CAN I download and flash a KK bootloader WITHOUT ODIN or a pc??? And are ANY of the one-touch-root apps that you THANKFULLY wrote about usable and SAFE to use for such things? I have no experince with these and it is damn hard to find info on them anywhere. I just need to know about the bootloader and basic root access setup without a pc. I saw several suggestions to use King root and then an app to removed and repkace it with SuperSU for security.
Please give me a direction of some kind. All is appreciated info. ODIN and WINDOWS SUCK!! ;-DeaNoD

Yes if u are on linux, use hiemdall ..its a tool used for flashing firmwares and an alternative to odin ( i have no idea on how to use that as i never used it) ...i would suggest u to use kingroot ... its a good option as they can root almost all devices... then flash a custom recovery using flashify app ... whole process takes place without a pc as u wanted

In case someone experience the same problem/doubt as use the search in the forum... my solution was KingRoot.
Thanks for the reply KingWilliams.

Thanks for the info. From what l've read about Kingroot is that it installssome pretty dicey "extras". What have you heard about the SuperSU Me app? It is supposed to remove Kingroot and replace it with SuperSU. I am now reading up on flashify to learn more of how it works. Any further attempts to use ODIN are off the table for me. I'm surprised that someone like chainfire of ssu fame hasn't come up with something better than running ODIN on Winblows. Thanks ;-Deano

Supersu me doesn't work well on higher versions of android and may cause a bootloop.. That's what I read...chainfire is not the developer of Odin and neither are the other developers here related to it..its samsung who own that ... Did u try hiemdall?

Made one last valiant effort to run Odin or Heimdall on my laptop. Then I found that EVERY download of any .rar files related to their use were corrupted. So that put the final nail in the coffin for ALL PC based solutions in this case. As for chainfire, IIRC he was involved with Odin lite which then became Flashfire. I could find no further suggestions that indicated FlashFire could be used to root a device PC -Free. I have just tried several different CM 14 versions n my 600 over the past day or so. After much grief and a close bricking, I landed back on CM 13 Liquid Dark. Will not likely try CM 14 again untilI can fix my LP bootloader probs. Thanks for the input, ;-DeanoD

Thanks king, i have been searching for root without pc for my micromax tab for a long time, but couldn't find successful methods.
Finally rooted with Kingoroot app.
Now trying to get a custom recovery for it. But i looked in flashify, my device wasnt listed there in flash twrp/cwm list, which recovery should i download or install? I need it to remove kingoroot apps and kingo superuser and flash supersu.
Tried using the search but couldnt find anything on my device - micromax p680.

Galaxy J7 Sky Pro (SM-S727VL) Root Help

Title says it, apologies in advance for my noobiness on the entire topic of rooting. Got lucky and my previous device was supported via kingroot. Just looking for SuperSU permissions so I can enable my hotspot really.
This phone is through straight talk btw. I've tried Kingroot, iRoot, and quite a few others to no avail. I don't currently have internet due to me moving to the butt-crack of nowhere, Tried srsroot but seems like it interferes with USB tether and says it's successfully rooted but nothing happens upon reboot.
Anyone had any success with this? Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Please help for the love of god.

CF- Autoroot might do it. I see that it works on other variants for the J7. Here's a link with CF-Autoroot and detailed instructions. Hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

Is this your first time rooting a device. after srsroot says successfully rooted did you verify root by going into playstore and trying a root check app.

I tried srsroot 5.1 multiple exploit and it said rooted. I open root checker and it said phone wasn't rooted. I also tried dr. Phone and they didn't have a working root method for j7 sky pro and i was desperate enough to try king root. None of these worked. The guy than mention c.f. auto root, thats for a version of the j7 that was released in other countries. Those variants of the j7 have exoynus processors and us version have snap-dragon processors so the root procedure might brick your phone.

When ever I get some free time I'm going to try using adb commands to try and root.

Hopefully not too much longer before someone can root this thing... I'm also looking!

wondering if anyone has seen this video or tried it??
Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtktE0jccnw

I can't open the link but all the videos iv seen on YouTube seems to be j700's and other variants not for s727v.l From my research the devices are a listed under samsung j models but the they all have different hardware, i.e. boards, processors, chipsets,. I did a cross referience with cf-auto root to try and find a divice with the same hardware and builds, there wasnt any other device with the same hardware that would suggest compatibility. Cf-auto root flashes a root file to your device and if it's not compatible you could completely brick your device

Hello, First of, you shouldn't have used kingroot whatever the situation was
However https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkwired.droidinfo&hl=en
download this and capture the system and device tray

Yeah but it was worth a shot. I figured if it worked I could replace it with superSu. I will post those specs In a few. When ever. I get time and free WiFi in going to try adv root

System and device
I'm going to try adb root method when ever I get the time

Trying this again. I try posting last night but it didn't go through

Hello,
It did pass, however, your device seems to be a Verizon varient, it's hard to root it and there is no really a method to root it.
Sorry I couldn't help

Verizon bootloader is most of time locked you can't flash it.

I may have a method for rooting s727vl. I can't test until I get home where I will have unrestricted data in case something goes wrong. I'm gonna keep this short and simple assuming everyone have
knowledge of using odin.
Developer option usb debugging oem unlock no frp or passwords
Download odin
Download latest superSu, this isn't the same as superuser in the playstore. It's used for rooting systemless root os. Yes that what marshmallow is.
After downloading supersu place it on your phones sd card
This is what I'm not sure on. Download clockwork mod RECOVERY. Zip , not the one in the playstore. And place on pc
Use odin to flash cwm to s727vl
Please refer to guide on installing cwm
After flashing cwm go to it in recovery mode and use cwm to flash the supersu zip file and reboot phone. It could take a few minutes but it should boot with root access. Or wait for auto reboot.
What I'm not sure on is cwm compatibility with s727vl, I couldn't find a yeah or nay on compatibility. Cwm say it's compatible with any android.
Hopefully this will work. Make sure u have your data backed up and your stock rom in case things go south. If anyone try this please let me know the result. I'm anxious to try it but I travel a lot and I can't afford to have data throttled by downloading everything I need and I can't risk doing this until I'm i get home.

Modt of Verizon phones has a locked bootloader, they can't be flashed with unsigned images
