Question about iRoot: What is app cool that it tries do install on my phone? - General Questions and Answers

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

[Q] GS4 installing superuser

i just rooted my phone using motochopper. and am trying to use ltm launcher. every time i open it, it says root context not able to get permission.
and then when i go to the superuser, it says the superuser binary (su) must be updated. and it ask if i want to recovery install or just install, but none of it works. i even downloaded supersu from chainfire and it says there is no su binary installed. so i need help getting root permission to apps so i can get lmt launcher to work.
i read an old post with they guy with the same problem and u told him to flash it with something but i am not really sure how to do that. so if u can kind of explain how to do that.
thanks

Just installing the super user app from play store doesn't root your phone.
SuperUser app only manages root permissions. It itself does not root the phone. Head over to your xda section and read there how to root your phone .

Like I've said I have already rooted my phone using motochopper. That's not the problem. The problem is not getting super user updated

Did you follow the official rooting procedure as given in your xda forum? Because if your phone is rooted then you won't face any problem related to SuperUser app and updating binary and all these stuffs.
I've had the same problem as listed above.

Follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Play Store and install SuperSU.
2. When SuperSU is installed, give it permission as Super User.
3. Uninstall KingUser.
4. Done.

hI! I try on my HUAWEI ASCEND G6 and... dont work ... is possibel that an update that Kinguser had done make it impossibel?????
I root with RootGenius_en, was ok, kinguser ask for a update, done. But Now i whant to change do SuperSu and dont work. I had permissions and every thing...
Help! :crying:
Me too
I'm trying to do this too, but I aint sure how to do it. I mean I guess if its not super necessary I can leave it the way it is. Tried this method and its a no go. I don't think the KingUser SU is letting superSU update its binaries. I already have twrp, but not sure what next. If its not necessary I'll leave it alone, but I was just wondering if theres any reason to change over or if it could even be done.
P.S This way never worked for me as superSU can't get past trying to install the binaries. I got twrp so I'm wondering if I'd have to flash it. Nothings wrong on my end are anything, but I just assumed having superSU would be better then kinguser but not really sure.
many people have this problem.
first of all, kinguser is great to root the G6, and in most cases the only working method without custom recovery,
but because it flashes kinguser.apk as system app you can't uninstall it the normal way.
the solution is to flash supersu.zip and then uninstall kinguser. this way supersu will be your systemapp.
find the files and tutorials you need on our facebook group,
we have 1500+ members, CWM + TWRP, android 4.3 + 4.4, we can root your g6 and unlock your bootloader.
but we still don't have a subforum on XDA....
https://www.facebook.com/groups/328261053999820
Must vary from device to device cause I've did all that, and it gives the message "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says " Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again" and if kinguser is removed in superSU when trying to update/install the binaries it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device."
This aint the g6 though but this thread is the kinguser replace with superSU thread. So I thought I'd post in it.

Install SuperSu rom magazin play.
Then instal rom lite box.
Open the app, and uninstall kinguser
easy, and it`s working.I just deleted kinguser 2 mins ago
Hum
@andruala Never worked for me that way, anytime I remove king user root gets removed. Never was able to flash superSU rom correctly because binaries couldn't get updated from superSU because root was removed once king user was uninstalled. I've heard people mention it working the way you suggested, but I've also read posts where people have a hard time getting it replaced with superSU because root gets removed when king user is replaced, which doesn't allow superSU to install the binaries correctly. Most people probably can't get the binaries installed correctly from superSU which is the same problem I had so they end up just leaving it king user. I could try whats suggested here but I very much doubt its going to work as explained from my conflict that when king user is removed, root is removed and whether you flash a SU zip or not root still aint enabled because SU binaries are nt installed correctly. So until I actually can confirm this works myself I'm gonna prob say its a no-go for me. Could be device specific but I did all this to a tee and still had problems. There was a post on freak tab where someone had the same problem. I might still try this, I just dont see it working like as said.

Yes...i`m really sorry.For me wit worked before i restarted the phone...
After de restart i`ve seen that the root is not working anymore...
Sorry for my bad.
No worries bro. Probably varies depending on how you root from device to device.
Its not your fault. No worries. I'm just thinking it varies from device to device and how you actually go about rooting . I'm also thinking that maybe if I rooted with another app/prog that it would have been easier to switch from king user to superSU. I use lookout premium security on my phone and kingroot and king user have never been flagged with any viruses so I've just left it on and running the way it is and so far so good. Other then the two errors I mentioned in the previous post king user/kingroot has been working good. I'm sure if I did a whole restore/wipe/clean and root with another program there might be a possibility to remove king user and replace with superSU but in the end I just decided to roll with king user/kingroot as I didn't feel like doing al that and its been doing its job fine.

Well I thought about leaving kinguser sitting there on my system too until one day I installed network monitor stuff and noticed kinguser sure likes to make HTTP connections every time the Internet is available. Imagine that. Also have a look, there are /system/bin/.usr/.ku etc. hiding all over your system.
The earlier versions of Kingo Root were much better

Those earlier versions were putting SuperSU binaries into the root. But now they are putting on this King User crap. Reason I say it's crap is exactly what you mentioned. As soon as I root a phone with Kingo Root, Google Search immediately tells me that it will not allow me to search for anything because "your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now"
Good God! What the heck is Kingo Root putting onto these phones now? It sure isn't putting just su binaries in there.
Indeed. What is needed is for someone to take a vanilla phone into a cleanroom, install the mess, and report back on exactly what ended up getting put where, in order for somebody to make a "kinguser detox/.antidote" APP and/or shell scripts that would clean the mess totally back off.
don't know if it's gonna help you ( have alcatel onetouch idol 2 mini s):
i also couldn't update binaries su and had kinguser.
then i downloaded the beta version of supersu (on xda) and flashed it with my cwm. after that when supersu asked if i wanted to update, i said yes and choose normal update (not the cwm/t... one) it than updates and asked if i wanted to remove the external root apps (ie: kinguser) and voila!
(sorry English isn't my language, so don't know if i explained myself well^^)

Oh. I wasn't angry at you Was just asking.
it took me like a year to root my phone then i couldn't make it work well with kinguser, and i wanted supersu anyway, so i found that i could install manually the app with cwm .
anyway, i don't now if you can use cwm without a root?

You can, but it doesn't really make much sense to.
Use Eroot, then try superSU installation

I had the same issue with my mobile, (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray (ST18i)), I then rooted my phone with EROOT Software which installed a superuser app, then i got the .apk file of SuperSU via Bluetooth from a friend and installed it. one has to grant permission when it asks for superuser rights, then updating binary files is no longer a problem. It also asks for removal of the Superuser-app that was pushed through the EROOT software, you do that. Then I installed link2SD and link2sd pro key from google play store and converted the SuperSU app into a system-app. Now SuperSU is working perfectly again.
You both should try it!!

Some other app that you've installed is doing it.
Have you rooted your device?
What method did you use to root it?
Did you use Kingroot or KingoRoot?

You didn't answer me question, by the way.
Did you root your device with Kingroot or KingoRoot? If so, that is what is doing it.

not with kingroot!
i rooted it with framaroot about a year ago.but the 'self install' thing began two weeks ago. new apps i hv installed are AIDE,,SCR pro & apk editor pr
Go to “developerettingUncheckInstall apps from external sources”(or something like that).
If the app is installing from play store delete the last install app. It maybe any thing like anti virus, phone booster, battery booster, twrp, recovery etc.
If the app is not installing from play store but downloading from internet then Go to settings> enable developer options> uncheck the box which says “Install apps from un trusted sources (or something like that). Then uninstall the last installed app or the app which u think is causing this issue. Same as above list.
Try closing all tabs in ur browser also.
Then install C cleaner app. Run it. Delete the files which u don't know. Then back to normal

Just got an Android phone few days ago..

And already root problems...
I've been following this video from a dev guy in here, but can't find the post right now. Anyways, i did exactly every thing he did, step by step.
The only difference between him and I, is that his baseband-version is: "G965FXXS9DTD7" while my baseband-version is "G965FXXU7DTA3"
In his video as i've givin' a link to at top of my post, in his description he have everything needed to be loaded, and also a webside;
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9-plus/firmware/#SM-G965F
Where i can find other versions, but mine is not on the list.... So i just tried his version and hoped for the best.
But now when i try to go into /data by the app called "Root Explorer" it says my phone is not rooted. But when i go into Magisk Manager, it's all updated to latest version and all good.
I don't know how to check what i did wrong or how to fix it... Can someone please help me out here. And maybe guide me step by step or direct me to an already existing guide..
PS:
If this thread is in the wrong section, please move it to the right one - this forum is also a bit confussing for me, but maybe thats because of the headache....
Regards
Martin S

But how can i block Ecplorer's permission? Haven't done anything in the Magisk Settings? :S

If root explorer asked for permission and you skipped it may have not given it root access , you could try reinstalling root explorer and give it root permissions right away

When you just said that i came in mind, when i downloaded the app and opened it, it had a "allow" or "not" window to storage, but when i tried to click on that some came up for a second when iu was tapping on the screen.
Must have been that, for now i reinstalled the app and it came up again, where i could grant Superrights.
BIG THANKS!
Glad it worked!
