Hi,
Wondered if anyone would be able to help.
I rooted my phone with KingRoot a while ago, but recently i was reading that KingRoot was a bit 'dodgy'.
For this reason i downloaded SuperSuMe and ran it, and it removed KingRoot but didn't set up SuperSU.
Now it won't let me reinstall KingRoot and SuperSU wont install binaries so i can't get this to work. Is there anyway to force reinstall of KingRoot to get everything back to normal?
Thanks,
uninstall supersume and get the propper root (unlock bootloader, boot to twrp recovery, and from twrp recovery flsh supersu.zip). you cna find the guide here on XDA/idol3 threads.
Thanks Dallas I'll see what I can do over the weekend

Hi, I have an HTC One M8 on 5.0.1 and I have little knowledge with rooting. I want to root my phone because there are some apps I want to use that are only capable of being used if my phone is rooted. I've tried Kingo root and it doesn't work on my phone so I was wondering if someone can give me instructions and download links so I can root my phone. If you can it would be much appreciated, thanks.

You have 2 options at the moment.
1) Ship device to one of the many great people with a Java Card/XTC2 Clip - Look at the OP of this thread to see where the people are located.
2) With some time and luck - King Root, which has been proven to work for a number of M8 users.

I was able to get S-Off using the KingRoot and Sunshine method. Now what? Although I did get root long enough to get S-off, I lose it after each time I get temp root with the KingRoot app again. KingRoot will say that I have root, but I can't get SuperSU to install.
I am doing a factory reset now and will try to use KingRoot to get temp root, then install SuperSU. Will I then be able to install TWRP after SuperSU is installed correctly?

If you are S-OFF, then I would flash a custom recovery and then a custom ROM (if you want)
or flash superSU in the custom recovery if you just want root.
Once S-OFF you are in full control of your device, so do some reading about it as you can end up with an expensive paperweight easily if you don't know what you're doing.
Or try vroot, i rooted my phone in just 1 tap
dexter0218, I think it would be BIG BIG news here if there were a one-click root solution for the newest M8. 5.01 phones aren't rootable easily.
boltz111, no need to fiddle with SuperSU. Now that you are S-Off, make sure you have ADB and get the latest TWRP for the M8. Drop to your ADP shell and do:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip
(sub in the name of your zip)
That's it. Then:
- Power down
- Power up in bootloader (hold down vol)
- Go to recovery
You have to go to recovery before booting or else the rom will overwrite the recovery.
Once you're in TWRP, you can load up SuperSU from a .zip and it will do its thing.
Or flash a rooted ruu from fastboot, loads you back to stock but with perm root, never had an issue
I hace tried every single method and it seems its impossible to root 5042T running 4.4.4 KitKat... Any help will be apriciated.:crying:
Been trying to root mine for some time too, tried all the app ones(kingroot ect), even desktop versions and no luck. Would appreciate some help too.
I need help with this as well.
I found out that the latest firmware blocks root. I successfully rooted mine with Kingroot for the A3CUMC1 firmware. You need to downgrade the firmware then apply root.
it's easy to root 5042t
it's easy to root 5042t
1) KingRoot-5.0.5.apk
2) after rooting reboot and install other version of KingRoot-4.8.1-136.apk, reboot
3) then install SuperSUme-6.7.0-Pro.apk and it will remove KingRoot exchanging it on SuperSU
4) then apdate SuperSU till SuperSU-2.78-2-Pro.apk
5) Plus it's not bad after all to install BusyBox-51-Pro.apk and ADB-Insecure-2.00.apk and Apps2SD-12.6Pro.apk
Hi guys ! I decided to root my moto g3 with kingroot for the first 4-5 hours everything was working fine , I even downloaded some root essentials apps like BusyBox , SuperSU , Titanium backup . Then all of a sudden when i was playing a game the phone automatically reboots and the next thing I know the wifi and my 3G connections was not working . I searched on the net for hours but found no solution pls help :crying::crying: PLS HELP AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION
same issue for me.
after updtating to 6.0.1, i've tryed to root with supersu 2.67 systemless -> stuck on boot.
reflash, try to root with kingroot -> after reboot: no ril, no wifi
strange
Maybe we need to report to the developer! (KingRoot team)

Never use crappy apps like King root.. Sorry but the only clean way of rooting is unlocking your bootloader and flash superSU. You can fix your WiFi by flashing the stock firmware files
I know kingroot is the last chance for rooting. Did you try to root the last official 6.0.1, it's stuck with supersu.

I was in 6.0 rooted with SuperSU
I came back to stock ROM in 6.0.1 and tried to root again with SuperSu.. and it is stuck in boot loop...
General issue or just me?

So why didn't you try 2.62-3? There are numerous reports of being stuck on bootloader after flashing 2.67. 2.62-3 has seemed to work the best for the original root of a G3.
Yes , i saw that, i retry and work fine with 2.62-3
Earlier today i noticed i could not play super mario run because the game checks for root access. After trying it and failing, i decided to install magisk to cover up root. Booted in to TWRP Recovery and flashed magisk and rebooted. When prompted to install SU i accidently hit do not install and now the SU app keeps telling me to install SU. I tried updating the app and it tells me Su binary occupied. If i uninstall it it tells me that i need to update the binary then fails when i try it. Already tried flashing the update of SU through recovery and nothing. Tried removing all root access and it will not get removed. Even tried to root all over again through odin and still having the same issue. All root access apps tell me im not rooted. Anything i can try without getting rid of my apps and data? Only thing im thinking will be to fully unroot and install stock rom and wipe all data.
Im on a galaxy s5 from sprint, running stock deodexed rom 5.0 lollipop.

Its been a while since I used Magisk. But at that time, PHH superuser had to be used?? Not sure if that is still the case though. Sorry I could not be more help
Yes it does need to be used and it was already installed. But after rebooting the app was not in my app drawer and i had a notification to install SU through play store. But when i go to play store it says it is installed and needs an update. After updating it tells me su binary occupied and takes me to a page to help fix it but i already tried flashing superuser zip file through recovery and nothing changes
Similar Problem
Have you fixed it already because I am havibf the same problem here. I am usibg Samsung J7 Core
You can do what you said you would do (reinstall stock ROM) and then you can try again. Looks like thats the only thing you can do, unless you can somehow remove the root binary and the app using something like ES File Explorer (but again, it requires root) or you can try another root provider.
I recently had to unroot my phone for some service. I went into SuperSU, and just clicked unroot. Now I wish to root again, but all the applications do not seem to work for rooting. I have TWRP boot loader already installed. I tried Magisk, but it the install exits with a 1, and does not install. I tried Odin which I used to root in the past, but it does not want to work either. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Edit: Solved, just installed the SuperSU zip from TWRP.
