So I have lately bought this awesome Cubot X12 Smartphone with Android 5.1.1 and want to get root on it to get rid of suspicious apps/services, some tools which I have checked for rooting only supports up to 4.2.2 (Kitkat) but I have heard that iRoot might root my smartphone but I'm scared a bit because I have search a bit and few users claims that this rooting app have installed "more apps" than it should as well as displayed some unremovable ads in WhatsApp and such. I just don't understand why official rooting apps can't root my smartphone. I have tried Root Genius but it says it's unrootable and I have tried to do this and my x12 stuck on 48% and is rooting in a loop. I just don't get it why closed source apps such as iRoot can root Android 5.1.1 but official ones with open source can't ? So is the iRoot/Vroot/Kingo Root safe & Reliable to use ? I have tried:
1) Download Vroot but Firefox blocks the page as it's dangerous.
2) I have tried Root Genius but it doesn't work.

KingRoot: ads on lockscreen and uses A TON of internet - no.
KingoRoot: shady Chinese company - no.
vRoot: adware and downloading things - no.
iRoot: same company as vRoot - no.
dr. Fone: bricks your phone - no.
towelroot: safe but get it from towelroot.com - try it!
framaroot: safe but get it from XDA, Google Play lies that it is a virus - try it!
Baidu Root: Chinese - no.
Magisk: safe from XDA, implies flashing - try it!
Flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU - maybe, but a bit harder, but you can find some advice here - yep.

Just ROOTed an MTK6582 device with Chinese iRoot PC application (not vRoot but the successor of vRoot) and everything went well. I now find two (Chinese) apps "iRoot.APK" & "SuperUser.APK" in "/root/system/app" path with same icon (white horse head in Blue shield). My current knowledge tends me to think a single super user manager app is suppose to manage the app SU permission requests. So now I am confused about the purpose of these two apps and am not sure if both of them are needed for real. In my launcher app drawer I can see the Chinese super user app icon (single app icon) and tapping that icon brings up the Chinese super user manager app, but am not sure which app this icon is launching!
So, my question is, are both the apps necessary for keeping the ROOT state and managing the app SU requests. If not, which one is safe to remove (delete)?
Thanks is advance.

iroot (formerly vroot) installs two apps, a superuser app and a app that no one really knows what it does.
you can safely delete the apk called iroot.apk, you ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT delete the superuser.apk.
in any case, i highly advise getting rid of vroot and going to supersu completely with this handy tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532818
Actually, the file name is "iRootSU.apk", and what I discovered is, deleting this app makes the "SuperUser.apk" (Chinese) visible in app drawer (before deleting the "iRootSU.apk" none were visible).
Trying removing Chinese vRoot apps with the advised method was bitter It revoked ROOT privilege and SuperSU was not installed. Mine is KitKat 4.4.2 on MTK6582. The only ROOTing method worked on this device is iRoot.
iRootSU.apk & SuperUser.apk are the same, iRootSU.apk is the successor.
Is there any special reason we should not be using the Chinese iRoot apps?

from my research, no one has been able to find out if there any bad things with iroot, except that during the process they harvest imei numbers.
i personally would not want something on my phone which i cannot understand what i am clicking.

I've used the iroot app also on my ulefone u7. Kingroot isn't an alternative as the supersu app conflicts with titan backup. With the iroot superuser app TB works.
Is there anyone who could provide a translation of the menu of the chinese superuser app. (app with crowned lion head) Perhaps it is the same menu as supersu as it resembles supersu.
edit :
I replaced the superuserapp with supersu pro. I was able to make it compatible with titanium backup.
app with crowned lion head
How can I remove the. chinese superuser app. (app with crowned lion head) from my tablet. I do also factory reset but I can not remove it.
I used iroot on my Lenovo B6000 tablet because no other tool would do the job. I'd rather get rid if it now and replace it with supersu, but it seems to protect itself against removal: Even when I remount /system rw, and have root in the adb shell, trying to remove the binaries gives me "operation not permitted". That's kind of nasty. I wonder how it protects itself.

Yes, did that. It's well worth the 1 € and does the job just fine. I just wonder /what/ it does that I couldn't accomplish on the command line. I suppose it has to do with killing some services installed by iroot, which prevent removal.

Downloaded aptoid searched kingroot ran it and failed to no green dot in kingroot no foreign languages either. You posted that it was called aptitode no such thing came up with Google search what am I doing wrong?
.
After all, I have succeeded in ROOTing my Hisense Sero 5 (HS-L691), here are the instructions how you (hopefully, if successful, please write feedback/say thanks ) can (hopefully all) ROOT your Hisense Smartphones & Tablets.
You will need:
• Kingroot in the latest version (currently I have installed 4.6.0).
Official Homepage: www[dot]kingroot[dot]net
[If you want to try it instead with Towelroot, Framaroot or similar, please post here, if it was or wasn't successful. Thanks! ]
1) Start Kingroot and wait until your smartphone model and "Root access is not available" appears.
2) Go (via the notification bar) to Settings -> Device: Apps -> Manage applications -> All.
3) Look at the end of the Apps list for the App with Chinese characters and a lock as an App icon (see screenshot).
4) Click "Force stop" and confirm the warning message with OK.
5) Switch (on the most recently used apps, home button double tap) to Kingroot and press the "TRY TO ROOT" button.
6) Wait until Kingroot reports the success (and share it with others, if you want. )
7) Now you can install Busybox, the modified Play Store, Lucky Patcher etc. (or for what ever you need ROOT. ) and enjoy yourselves life and possibilities of your Hisense Smartphones and/or Tablet.
Best wishes

Hisense F30 unable to root
Hi guys,
requesting your help in findings the ways to root Hisense F30 so that Play Store can be installed.
I have tried pretty much everything, from Kingroot to Framaroot to no success.
Any ideas?
same here with hisense f23,there is no easy way to root this model except modifiy the rom then flash it then root.
Is there no easier way to do this with adb..etc
Trying to root my Mi 5s Plus with iRoot. I've downloaded iRoot from iroot.com
I've checked numerous guides about iRoot. Every one of the guide says that once you push root the device might restart, and it takes a couple of second to root the device.
HOWEVER...
My device asking permission to install an app called "App Cool".
I've denied this and the phone rooting fails.
What is this App Cool that no one mentions in the guides? Why I don't find anything on google regarding this process with iRoot and ANYITHING about this app?
This is too suspicious for me to continue.
Asking the professional community, what is this, why no mentions about this step anywhere?
Ok,
Disregard my question. It is clear that EVERY iroot website is fake, and contains trojans and viruses.
Don't download any of the iroot apps guys, dont try to install it on your pc.
The second Iroot I've installed downloaded a file in the background and asked admin permission to an exe file with suspicious chinese characters and numbers in name.
Dangerous guys, rooting a phone doesn't worth loosing all your personal data.
I'm stopping this now and I won't trust any iRoot software moving forward -or anything else to be honest-

Your phone has a twrp, just unlock bootloader flash twrp using fastboot then flash SuperSU zip file
Note that unlocking bootloader voids warranty + triggers a factory reset

I'm curious what that 4days old account is promoting to me.
But that account is suspicious too. All he is doing on the forum promoting that app, with his 9 comments so far.
I assume admins will soon delete its account but he will make another one and the thing goes on and on.

Forgot to mention about " cool app" good thing you didn't root with that usually Chinese one-click-root apps install other apps that becomes a app in the system (can't be removed) also the root itself is unremovable ++ suspicious

Go chinafire web site and find your device model. Then download the root files and flash it to your phone

Hi everyone.
to see if anyone can help me get full root please.
I have tried to root my "poco x3 pro" many times but to no avail.
According to magisk and root checker they say that if there is root but when using the apps, they request root access and according to magisk it grants it but then it says that the option is temporarily unavailable.
this happens to me with "es file Explorer", "root Essentials" "sixaxis controller" etc ,.
I already tried it with the global official miui, miui.eu and xperience rom, I installed it with twrp and with orangefox. Thank you very much and greetings.
Edit:
Well, it's appear that the apps I used, are incompatible and obsolete on android 11.
Magisk can grants root very well.
Thanks everyone

Do you have other apps that can use root access?
For example: root explorer, MiXplorer, termux, terminal emulator... any apps that can use root.
Try them and see if those apps can get root access.
A) If those example apps can get root permission and works properly, then the problems are within those apps that does not work properly with root.
es file Explorer : original ones cannot be found on Play store, suspect lack of maintenance for new Android version
