Hello, I have the rooted s6 and how I was able to obtain it was kingroot. Recently I used "stubborn Trojan killer" app from the play store and when it scanned my phone it says there is one push Trojan found. Is it detecting Kingroot as a ghost push trojan? I'm afraid to click "remove trojan" because it won't give enough info and I think (but not sure) it's detecting Kingroot. Is it?
Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist,
KingRoot isn't a trojaner. Because it'll use a weak spot of your phone to root it, it will be shown as a trojaner.

So I have the ZTE Midnight (Z768G) and I am getting the classic "low on space" message and I know what rooting is as I rooted my Nook Tablet 4GB but I can't seem to find a root that will work for my phone so that I can set my default storage to the SD card and I was wondering if someone could help me. Or if there's alternatives to rooting it that would also be nice. I installed an app that can erase cache but it's not doing much for me right now. I can't even update my apps. Any help would be nice!!

any updates?
I have been doing some research (xda and google) about a method on how to root this phone (ZTE Midnight Z768G) The only thing that appears to have worked is an app called "VROOT". It is a chinnese application that you install on windows and connect the phone via usb to root it.
On my phone it says that it is rooted, but any aplicaction that tries to get root privileges gets automatically denied with no prompt asking to allow or deny.
Everything gets denied. A toast message appears and says "[app] has refused to super authority request" thus any app gets denied.
The 'vroot' app installs a chinnese 'superuser' app that is supposed to grant/deny root access but it doesn't work.
So basically something is wrong...
I am able to gain root access via ADB shell and mount the system as read-write. When I type 'su' I even get the prompt "#". However, on the phone, the 'superuser' app does nothing.
If you have any info let me know.
Try installing the app called "SuperSU" from Google Play.

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.

Use Super SuME to uninstall the Chinese crap and will install SuperSU

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.
i rooted my phone by iroot.but it says that not properly rooted when chcked by root checker.sombody help
Hi everybody!
I bought Goclever Quantum 700M, and I scanned it with ESET Mobile Security. The antyvirus found "Gedma.C" in "Device Managment" - pre-installed app ww.virusradar.com/en/Android_Gedma.C/description. The problem is, that ESET can't delete it, because it is a system app. Here is my question. Is this trojan really dangerous for my privacy, and how can I delete it? I have searched all internet, but I did't find any way to root my device. Maybe there is other method to make harmless this Gedma.C?
Thank you for any anserws

Without root you can't do anything. Either you delete the malware (need root to delete system apps) or you use a firewall (need root to work properly) to block the app's internet traffic.
Hey
So I have a rooted Lenovo TB2-x30l running android 5.1.1-
It is rooted with Kingroot.
Now I am trying to install Applock and it wants usage access, sure i find the app in the list and i activate it.
But when I go back and try to lock apps again it asks for the same thing but it is already ON.....
I have even tried using the app (AppOps) to see if it has root acess and it has.
One strange thing I have found, I do not know if it is related is that under accessabiity and services Kingroot is ON and some other programs are OFF,
No matter which order I do it if I put kingroot OFF, or just try and put any other service on ON in 10min they will be reset like it was before again..... WHY ?
I do not have SuperSU installed, should I install that? Would that help somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Try alternate apps
If you root Your device with kingroot app, You wont have SuperSU. Instead, you'll have the same kingroot app to manage superuser rights. The kingroot app will do the same work you suppose SuperSU to do. Don't worry, thats not the issue. I too tried Applock app on my lenovo vibe smartphone without any luck. Use CM SECURITY app. It is an all-in-one security app with app lock feature. It's free and easy to use as well. It doesnt require root permissions. Check it out in Playstore.
Hope this helps!:good:

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-
Try kingroot app

King root is same -and maybe worse- as iroot I don't recommend it
What is the official site/latest official version and where would you download it?
/I can google, yes, however if you promoting it and trusting it I would like to see what is your source on this/

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
