There has been a lot of discussion about this topic and opinions. But lets be clear about a few things that are facts:
KingRoot now installs a ton of Adware on your device
KingRoot takes over your lock screen now and splatters ads on it
KingRoot's Uninstall does NOT remove everything they have modified on your device
SuperSU replace method does NOT remove everything they put on it either
KingRoot intentionally ads multiple binary files to your /system/bin folder that have nothing to do with their rooting method and are even back dating them to try and hide them
AVG has reported this and even warns of possible personal information gathering, that is NOT just a warning of rooting exploits
KingRoot has now included a Wifi option within their latest version under tools, what do you think they are gathering there ?
I have been trying to tell users for a long time that they are up to no good and they have even lied saying they tried to contact me to work with me on what they refer to as my app doing a malicious removal of their tool. That is completely incorrect... They have NEVER tried to contact me about this. They did try and ask my to stop and I told them once they allowed SupeSU to cleanly take over their root and they allowed all traces of their program to be replaced/removed I would then do it, but they never have adhered to any of that.
You the user have been warned and my conscious has been cleared. Install this at your own risk. They even went as far as trying to prevent my program from gaining root, why ? Because it will in fact remove all traces of their program including their custom binaries they have added, etc.. Now, keep in mind, they have many binaries that they add, depending on the device, but I do my best to catch them.
KingRoot, you want all of this to stop ? Then comply with the request of all the users and myself to remove EVERY file modification you have made to their device and allow replacement of your tools with whatever the user desires, cleanly.. You want to make it a paid app for you to get compensation for your time ? Fine, but get rid of all this Adware and malicious take over you have done to their device.
Let all the people speak now. It is your device and your choice of what you want to see, I am just one voice of many...

I recently upgraded my old s4 for hangouts only use (no carrier) to 501 and I used an old version of Kingroot and current SuperSUme. No worries. Thanks for a great app.
Real question is. Why can't someone legit make a kingroot type rooter that's not all jacked. It's there really no one else who knows how to do it that is honest?

Sure, it can be done. But they protect, for good reasons, their rooting methods. I can't disagree with them there. But someone else would have to come out with the exploits and wrap it into a rooting method for everyone to use. They definitely have the team and resources to be able to root devices. I am very thankful for that, don't get me wrong, but the way they make you accept it all is where I take issue.

Xda has a rule about having paid apps/donate version in threads. It does not seem unreasonable to ask for a similar policy with the more important and less costly demand of being able to uninstall the app, or at least not block the usage of other apps (like SuperSU).

After a bit of digging through the same versions released, one on their website (https://kingroot.net/), and the other here on xda (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=9793#downloads), it appears that the payloads have been customized through some variances contained in the following files:
channel.ini, config.properties, KINGROOT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF, KINGROOT.SF, km, classes.dex
Specifically in the release channel# (channel.ini), the encrypted properties file (propertiesconfig.properties), and the (km) file.
So it's possible to have slightly different version of the payloads depending on where you've downloaded it from.
Any constructive input is welcome.

It is a different build number bro.if u look at the build number compared to first realease of 5.05 compared to latest release 5.05 theres a few extra numbers and/or letters in the new 5.05. But like one of the xda devs said if it's to the only way to get root do it because u can uninstall purify and replace kinguser with supersu
Using SuperSU is best.

Hey I was wondering if it was possible to put on apps that I download online and install them on my captivate without rooting.
I know other phones have that check box thing to allow the installation of third party apps, but at&t was stupid and took this off.
I just don't want to root in case I return the phone, because rooting voids the warranty...right? Unless there's a way to unroot the phone and not letting at&t know that I rooted it in the first place...
Thanks

Download the Android SDK and open the tools directory on terminal or the windows equivalent.
Then if you are on a UNIX based system type:
./adb install [location of .apk]
it should then install (note to make sure that you include a / before the file path
eg: /android/apks/app.apk vs. android/apks/app.apk
on a windows pc type:
adb install [location of .apk]

He mentioned apps he would normally pay for. That made me think he was talking about pirating.
Well you're both kind of correct.
I know how to find the paid apps, it's just that I don't know how to install them. I'm not sure what those slideme apps are, so I'm not talking about that. I just mean apps that are on the market, but I don't want to pay for them.
Maybe sideloading is the answer...I thought that required rooting, but I'll go look into that. I'll look into the Android SDK thing later too, I just have been avoiding that because I was reading about it earlier and it looked long and confusing.
edit: ok so I'm under the impression side loading is for 3rd party apps, ie apps not sold/offered in the android market, which is not what I'm looking for.
Unless of course this method works with paid apps too?

It does still work with paid apps. I do not know where you find those though.
A word of caution though. Not only is pirating paid apps illegal, it is also just plain wrong. People can argue that pirating music is ok, so I wont go into that. However, applications require hours upon hours of the developers time and effort, so pirating the app is on par with stealing.

Correct; we do not permit warez or methods to obtain them.
Hello to all,
first of all forgive me if i am in the wrong forum. Second I am not an authority with ROMs and developing. I can flash a new ROM and follow guidance easily but that's it. Up to that.
I will tell you my scary experience with a specific rom which i installed a couple of days ago on my S3. First off all this post is not suppose to be rude to anyone or anything. I am telling you my story and I would appreciate your input as you are the experts.
3 days ago I installed the MIUI (http://miuiandroid.com/community) ROM on my S3.
As soon as I turned the phone on to run it for the first time I went to the typical set ups but then I noticed something.
On he top right corner of the status bar the a green phone icon appeared meaning that the phone was automatically set on "Call-diverting" .I dint pay any attention for about 30 mins as I was setting up the phone.
When I decided to see what the icon does to my sock and horror I realised that my phone was pre setted to call diverting automatically to a specific mobile number in the UK.
I quickly disabled the call diverting and dint think anything more. All of that happened around 12:30 in the afternoon (pay real attention to the times here).
about 10 minutes later I was at the office. around 2 hours after that I got a text message from my Bank to call them about a suspicious money transfer.
I called the bank and the told me that a few minutes earlier someone attempted to transfer 2000 pounds from my account. Of course my on-line banking was frozen and I was lucky not to loose the money.
Now, during these two hours my phone never rang just the text message from my bank. The bank security employee told me that it looked suspicious to them because whoever was trying to transfer the money asked for the 4 digit number via the automated bank security system to be diverted to another mobile number. The bank advised me to call my mobile carrier as I did.
The mobile carrier , when i talked to him, confirmed that someone called them and accessed my account by giving them all the right info, and requested that every time my phone was out of coverage all calls to be directed to another mobile!
have you guess what was the other mobile?? It was exactly the same mobile number as the pre-set on the ROM which I had installed 3 hours earlier!
And my bank confirmed that the same mobile was used in order to get the 4 digit pin.
I was shocked to say the least!!
When after a few minutes I managed to talk to my girlfriend , she told me that she was calling me earlier for about an hour. These phone calls never made it to my phone. As the phone was pre-setted to call diverting it was ringing to the diverted phone and not mine.
It is obvious that as I do mobile on-line banking and I access my accounts from my mobile (as many do), somehow they managed to get all the information about me and I am suspecting dodgy applications on my phone. I hope I am wrong but this experience has really shocked me.
I love android phones I love what you developers do but I am after you opinion in this one.
I am not here to offend any developers but to have a genuine answer and a sensible discussion about this issue. I am not a kid I am professional and this experience has really made me think twice about smart phones.

i think you're right, it wasn't the rom but some malware-/spyware-app.
assuming your phone was rooted, it would be easy for an app to do all kind of bad stuff once it got root-privileges, eg hiding on your sdcard and spying your data and after that establishing the call-divert to catch the 4digit-pin and the rest would be history.
only thing you could do is think what questionable apps with root privileges you installed in the last days before this happened, try to get a copy of it and have a closer look on it, maybe installing it without a simcard inserted or with a simcard without charge on it, to see what happens...
a big piece of luck would be some kind of log from about 1230h to see what established the call-divert, but if i would do such app i would ensure to delete all logs with traces afterwards, but who knows?
though, all of that are just the ideas that came to my mind as i read your post...
good luck for the investigation, would be interesting to know if you could get any information about what happened, so keep us updated, ok?

It would be difficult for me to know which custom ROM is safe and which one is not! I am not an expert you see. And the same goes with apps. I don't think anyone can state with certainty that any are safe.
It is just shocking to know how easy it is for your details to "escape" !
I will keep you informed about how this goes.
jowett69 If you can tell me how to get that log you are talking about, that would be great.
In the meantime can anyone advise on a descent mobile data protection application? something which will prevent any sensitive data from leaking from my phone? Payware or freeware I don't mind.

A start might be to check the Superuser app and click on Log and see what apps received su permissions.
Also, from a cmd prompt you can enumerate all the running processes by running:
Code:
adb shell "busybox ps -A > /mnt/sdcard/process.log"
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/process.log
View process.log for anything suspicious, or post it up and I'll have a look.

I don't think I could do that my friend. As soon as I suspected that something with that ROM was wrong I performed a full wipe and installed omega 9.1 rom.
My question is this. By performing a full wipe should really erase any malware from the previous installation right? Can anyone advise on a descent antivirus/firewall application which will help me (and others like me) monitor and "block" unusual application behavior?
oh and one more question for my information...sensitive personal data can only be leaked when the device is rooted ? if it is not rooted am I safe?

did you wipe your internal and external sdcards too? how did you wipe? cause it depends where the malware was hiding, if it is erased now or not.
a simple, yet powerful firewall is droidwall. you can find it in the market. put it in whitelist-mode and allow only the stuff you know. but droidwall controlls "only" internet-connections (wifi and 3g or such). for full controll over every permission of every app and connection of your phone you sohuld use pdroid, but i don't know if that's really necessary, though i understand your fear. but if someone really wants to harm you and has some knowledge, there are always ways, i think...

not really, think of those apps you can use to root your device. think a bit further and one could make an app that roots your device and afterwards does the stuff it wants. but seriously, though it is possible, who would do that to you? that's what you should think about...

ps: cause you did a wipe, there's no possibilty of going through some logs, sry. (though this too depends on the way you wiped and what exactly you wiped...)

Recently tried installing 9 innings baseball and upon startup of the app it prompted me that "Device is Rooted, Please try again when Unrooted". First, is this legal? Second, is there a way to get around this? Third, How does this app even detect my root?
I'd love to play this game as I heard good things about it!
Thanks in Advance!

been looking for a good baseball app - but I guess I cannot use it now. found this forum though - might have better luck there:
http://global.com2us.com/forum/showthread.php?p=424792
Why would it not be legal? Note, this is the not the same question as whether or not it's the right thing to do. They can stop anyone they want from playing, it's their right. Apps typically block root when they used some type of shared scoring or leaderboard system that is susceptible to client-side hacking. It's a cheap workaround to prevent rooted players from playing rather than having to actually make their app secure.
As for how, a quick Google search turned up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101380/determine-if-running-on-a-rooted-device
That's a very simplistic way to check, and even it would be difficult to hide from. I've no doubt companies that are doing this as an anti-hacking measure are doing things more complex than this.
Yea I did a google search too and nothing seemed to help. I tried the temp unroot but that doesn't work. Was wondering if the XDA community knew some better way as I didn't find anything on the forums.
Legality side of it, Yea I suppose your right. But it's like saying I can't install WinAMP on Windows because I changed some registry files. Companies should defiantly not use rooting as an "anti-hacking" tool against their app. Either way they got a bad review because of it, hopefully they will take it into consideration and fix it.
It's the first time I've ever heard of an app not allowed because of root, is that a common thing?
Not really common, per se, but I've heard of it on a couple of other games. It's almost universally games that are susceptible to some type of client side hacking. There are some other apps that will do more specific things, like block you if you try to run an ad blocker, but very few will outright stop you for only rooting.

Hey it WORKED!
What I had to do:
1) Installed SuperSU
2) Went to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>All and Force Stopped Superuser
3) Opened SuperSU, Settings, and unchecked Enable Superuser.
This app must use the 3rd method listed on shrike1978's link where it checks for su binary. Thankfully because the other two checking methods would be impossible to get around without unrooting. (I'm sure it's not impossible, but more work than I care to do)
Thanks for the help AgentFour20

Zikk is unique mobile to mobile remote support app.
So what's so special about Zikk?
It is designed for consumers and not for IT depatments and operators,
therefore it is extremely simple and user friendly.
It provides full privacy protection - no screen sharing, and no access to SMS, email, etc.
It doesn't require constant internet access, and doesn't prevent the recipient from using his
phone for other purposes during the process.
It supports all Android devices (2.2 and above).
In addition to remote support, Zikk contains a local settings menu which uses Zikk's simple
and friendly interface.
When people have a hard time setting up their smartphones, they ask help from their friends
and family - Zikk enables users to help each other.
APK attached. Also available on Google-Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zikk.alpha)
where you will also find a short and helpful demo video. You van also find the video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsP9-Lpfwpk).
So both people need Zikk installed, I presume? Does the person you are helping get prompted to download it?

Correct. If the selected contact does not have the app, the user will be asked to allow sending
an automatic SMS with a link to the download page. There is also a share option where you can
send this message (via SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.) to one or more people.

The current version is designed for Android phones does not support WiFi-only tablets or
large screen tablets, however in a few weeks I will publish the tablet version, which will
include UI adjustments, tablet related features and a different registration process.
Sounds AMAZING! I'd really like to use this to help my friends and family. I live in India though
No worries, I'll wait
fantastic idea!!! this will surely take off!! kudos to the OP!!
how far this app will go ? I mean can I help someone from anywhere ?
What about phone types? What if my phone is a Nexus and the other device is a HTC?

I posted the app's package name and the title of the demo video
on YouTube. I will replace it with actual links as soon as I can.
Cool

Cool, like the concept of it. But really wish it could do the updates of apps. And PRL updated. The many things my mother and sister never do.

Great ideas for the next version - thank you very much!
I like the app a lot, but what make it one of the best is if I could move, install, & uninstall system apps, and a root file manager so that we can help rooted users also
uninstalled this app from my Galaxy Note i717 and now the home screen is gone and I cant get back into recovery?
oh cool its like remote assistance for android!

Actually a version for rooted users is an interesting idea. Not sure how common "less tech savvy"
rooted users are though. If you have more ideas for features for rooted users I would love to hear them.
I actually have a friend who is just getting into root use who calls for advice when he needs it. Let's be honest we were all beginners once and maybe could have used a little hand. He moved recently so there is distance involved now. This looks like a great idea.
I would love to have access to the settings menus, root file explorer and perhaps apps he already has installed such as set CPU or apps of that nature.
Beginners in root use are just as confused by root abilities as beginners in android are of it's stock features at times.
It would be really great to be able to start a log cat app and have your friend do something that normally causes a crash for example if they are not advanced enough to run one themselves. A current issue I have on hand. Trying to explain how to run one and sending videos to watch.
Hope this keeps going :thumbup:

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I installed a game called Ace Fishing, and since my Galaxy S7 Edge Exynos is rooted, the game detected it and refused to run.
I looked on how I can hide my root, a quick Google pop up suggested to tick off the Enable Superuser in the SuperSU app options. So I did it and it indeed helped.
Until I realized when I try to launch SuperSU again I get an error saying the binary couldn't be found and it mentioned something about android version 5 or something.
I ended up updating SuperSU to the latest version through Google Play and now when I launch SuperSU I get SuperSU Root Undetected message.
I can still see my old options and if I am fast enough even tap on settings in SuperSU.
Basically my question is, how can I tick the option back on? I cannot use some root-only programs now, and I can't reset everything from scratch just to tick the option back on, I'm in base away from any computers for the next week.
Please someone tell me there's a way to close the message screen and tick SuperSU Enable option back on, any way to edit the settings from the folder or anything at all, please.

If you are using mode edit: app name removed and mode edit: app name removed then you won't get any help here. Those are considered warez, warez is software that is designed to steal paid software(the kinds of things the developers around here are responsible for building) or get items free that should be paid for.
This website was founded BY developers, FOR developers(the kind of people your software is designed to steal from), it wasn't created for us everyday users, they just "allow" us access to the work that is done here. You are using software that you obviously use to get paid games for free and to get in-app purchases for free(this is stealing from the developers of those games, they are probably even members here, it is also against the XDA Forum Rules), then you come here looking for help with a device that you have been using to steal from their colleagues. How much help do you think you will get with that?
The truly loyal members here won't help you with this.

How much help? Enough from a decent person I assume. You can't just come barging in spitting that at me, you can't judge or know how much I actually put into buying apps or in-apps. Everyone's used these before, and I believe if you're going to be honest with yourself you'll admit it too.
Either way, the fact here remains that my SuperSU is messing around and I don't seem to have root access tempirarily at least. If your problem lies within what apps I download that use root, you've got a serious problem and should stick to yourself. I couldn't care less about those apps, right now I just want this question answered: can I fix this problem without using a computer or reflashing everything?
For anyone else who may be of help; using root checkers show that I have no root, even though I do and I simply ticked off the Enable SuperSU option in SuperSU settings, I didn't full unroot or something, simply tried to hide the root so I can access a game that ws blocking rooted devices.

My reply wasn't to be rude, it was to state facts to make you aware that the software you use, the activity you participate in and the device you do it on and discussions of "how to" are not allowed in this scenario.
You use software that isn't allowed in this forum which is clearly defined in the forum rules that you were supposed to have read when you created your account here and you most likely use it to steal software and paid items.
Then you want to talk about a "decent person"?
No, I don't use warez, at all, there's nothing I need or want that requires being purchased. If it isn't free or if I don't buy it, I don't use it.
I don't have a problem with whatever root apps you use. The administrators, senior moderators and moderators here have a problem with "warez" specifically, the device it is used on and the people that use it. By the time one of them sees this thread, they'll probably just delete my posts, then leave a post here informing you of the rules and close this thread. Fair warning was all I was giving you. By all rights I should have reported your thread but I try to help members learn their way around to avoid them getting reported. So, in effect, I was trying to inform you and help you avoid the issue here.

Um, okay? I appreciate it, I guess?
I don't need help with warez, SuperSU isn't warez, I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to get my root status back again. Dealing with a headache with no answers to (as far as I've searched) and its all because a single button.

But you need help with the device that you used warez on.
If this thread stays open, you might get help, who knows. I'm just saying that the serious people here won't.
There is a simple fix, I'll give you a hint, the process will probably cause you to lose your data.

Thanks for the tip but like I said, I'm over at my base and have no access to any computers, I can't reset my device and reflash anything. I just want to know if it's possible to tick that option back on.
Still in a pickle here. Has anyone ever had the same issue before? Any help will be appreciated.

The thread got closed since it's breaching the forum rules. It cannot be excluded that the mentioned warez apps are involved in the problem.
The Forum Rules said:
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
