I used the KingoRoot APK to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 GT-S7275R (stock ROM, android jellybean 4.2.2), but the superuser app that comes packaged keeps crashing after a couple seconds and doesn't even load.
I am looking to unroot my phone to switch to Xposed, but am at a loss as to how without access to the app.
Can anyone help? I can provide any other info necessary ?
Hi !
In order to use xposed you must have root access .

1. Uninstallation of superuser cannot effect to the root? (Just confirming)
2. After uninstalling superuser will i be able to install more root needed apps? apps data will automatically install in their respective place just without any superuser permission..????
3. After unrooting phone root needed apps (which are installed) will work fine or not? and will i be able to uninstall those root apps?

Answers:-
1. Uninstalling of superuser with clean Unroot will Remove Root Binary from System and will effect Root, as without SU app you cant play with Root..
2. No, You Can't.
3. No they won't Function. You can uninstall Root apps if they are in System Folder other you will be able to uninstall.
Thankyou,

Thank You very much.. I am satisfied by your reply..
But tell me one more thing what superuser does.. i think superuser app only gives the permission to the root apps to install something in root area.. right? superuser app work is just to allow or deny the permission to the app right..?
So if i don't unroot my phone and if i just simply remove superuser app then i still should be able to install root apps in the root? because my phone is rooted.. and i have just removed superuser app which gives permission only.
I think superuser only gives the permission to the app SO apps will be intall in the root just without any permission of superuser?? this is what superuser does ONLY?
I think i am misunderstanding something about superuser.. Correct me please if i am wrong.. :good:

Yes,
It gives permissions to access, modify your Root area[Restricted when you are Non-Rooted].
No,
Removing SU app will remove permissions with It. So after that you cant use those Rooted app which you gave Permissions when u had SU App.
Note:- Without any SU app you can't Play your System Files..
nor your rooted apps will work..

This is the link I started dealing with:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
Problem is, I uninstalled a system file or two...or 15...and now the phone will start up, but no apps show up, just black screen. I can navigate still and work around it, but what i CAN'T do is give permission to that batch file once it recognizes the phone.
Obviously, I didn't know what I was doing, so I didn't realize that unrooting it wouldn't solve the problem, so I need to root, and then somehow get my system files back in place. Titanium Backup says my back up doesn't exist...pretty frustrated, I've spent 10+ hours on this site and some others trying to get back in, so I apologize upfront for possibly missing a post elsewhere

Hello Everyone, few days ago I rooted my device, Then I decided to check if it is rooted or not. So I downloaded root checker and It Says, "Sorry Root access isn't installed properly in this device". While I am able to use other rooted apps like nobloat, adblock, etc.. but having problems in installing Xposed firmwork and renaming etc/install-recovery.sh into etc/install-recovery.sh.bak..
What should I do? And is my device rooted or not?

Do you have an app to control root access e.g. SuperUser. If not download superuser and use it to control permissions as it may be that you have root but applications can't gain access as theres nothing to grant them access.
If that doesn't work just root again.
Thanks, I already have superuser.. and root explorer solved the renaming problem.. but Still having issue while installing xposed

try rooting it via flashing the zip file for device
I tried to root my device "Infinix Hot" Which apparently has the same build as HTC devices using KingoRoot
5 min after i plugged my device to my pc and had usb debugging on and kingoroot installing drivers it displayed a message "Root success"
But i noticed that my device didn't reboot during the process , which goes against what i have read..........
So i rebooted it manually , and now i have an app called "KingoUser" that i can only disable but not uninstall even if i factory reset( I tried ) ....... But with no root access
I tried many root checking apps and they all displayed that i didn't have root access but i have SU installed
Can someone explain what is going on please?
And can someone please tell me if i can remove this "KingoUser"
Which doesn't appear to have any uses
When i open it all what's there is just a white page with only links to Kingo Websites

Try downloading ES file browser and enable root feature, see if you have root...
You never even get a toast notification from kinguser asking if you want to grant permissions??

I did try several apps from the playstore that require root access like titanium backup ...
And they just keep trying to ask for root access for sometime then display a message "Failed" without any reaction from the "KingoUser" App
Anyway ~ i tried another root program called Vroot ( Or iRoot ) and this time root actually worked and installed superuser that ask for root permission for each program ( Allow of deny dialogue ) And titanium backup has root access now
But the app called "KingoUser" Cant be uninstalled even after doing several factory reset ( Without loosing root status )
I currently have it disabled but i want to permanently remove it cuz it's useless
One more think , i disabled the "superuser" app that automatically installed after the root process and installed the newer version from the play store that works perfectly and it updated my su binary it seems
So is it safe for me to completely remove the outdated superuser app the came with iRoot ? ( Cuz it wont update by itself and i cant find and option to update ) ? And how do i remove it ( Same problem with "KingoUser" )

yeh it's safe to remove, go with any root file explorer to system/app and delete it!
You may also try first freezing that app and then uninstalling it

Yep same thing. After disabling this app uninstalling it will make no problem
This chinese su apps gave me a lot of pain in the ass
So, It's been a month since I've rooted my phone
I rooted through Kingoapp.com, and it was easy
My OS is Android 4.4.2 KitKat and as the title says,
I want to change from my Kingo Superuser to any other,
Like a normal superuser or SuperSU.. It's because Kingo Superuser
Won't let me use apps like lucky patcher, AdAway etc
I've tried many methods, changing to SuperSU, but its binaries fails
To download, and the other superuser app just sits there, doesn't ask for
Permissions and stuff... That's why I wanna change my superuser app
Any help or effort will be greatly appreciated
Hi
(SuperSU) I suggest you to have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/support-update-failures-t2907365
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
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:
