Hi,
i have used the Kingoapp to root my Mega 6.3. It worked fine. After a few starts i lost Wifi so i wanted to unroot via Kingoapp. That didn't work. Tried several times. It stock on "remove root" every time. Well i thougt, i root it again with Kingoapp and tried it again end no result. With Kingoapp it wasn't possible to get in the menu: power+menu+vol up anymore so i couldn't perform a factory reset.
After tried over 30 times or so i flashed several things via odin.: boot.img, original rom CWM etc but no result. i cant get lost the root from Kingoapp.
Is their a fix, that would be so great! i have been "swimming" for 10 hours now so you now my feelings, haha!
Thanks for your thoughts! ( and sorry for my poor English)

Hi did you do a recent OTA update and does your phone only go into download mode, as if it does then it sounds like you triggered the knox security and if this is the case then there is nothing you can do at this time to fix it as i don't think kingoroot would do this to your phone as i use it all the time to root and unroot and seems to work well for me. Is there a line that says Secure Kernel Failed when you boot your phone is there.?
I read you can use superSu to unroot, then uninstore superSu. Give that a try.
Hi gues,
Sorry for my late response.
No, I didn't do an OTA and there is no line with errors.
Yes, I tried it all but sadly that didn't work but I have good news, pfff. After hours and hours trying this and that and so one I finally booked some success. What I did was flashing cm 6.04
Finaly it was possible to get in the menu [power-vol up -menu] and was able to flash a rom. I flashed a original rom after that wit odin but still there are some lines wich are left behind and where stuffed by Kingoapp. I have tried to clear those lines but I failed. (They are not the red lines you see after a root. It a green line this time haha)
But one thing is for sure, the Mega 6.3 is working again although I get the impression it is a little bit slower then before.
I mailed Kingoapp last monday with the same question and yes you guessed it right: no answer....
Thanks for your help, I really apreciated it!!!

Up until today, I've been rooted. Used the SuperOneClick program. It was a piece of cake.
Today, I decide to check for new software updates..Two new ones.
I updated them and now I'm running 2.2.2 and ed05. Well I'm assuming that's the problem.
Because I've been going through the process today of backing up my ROM and stuff, to flash MIUI for the first time. Well, nothing seemed to work.
I tried to backup my current ROM, but nothing happened. (Should've rebooted and come back on, like normal after 'backup current ROM' was selected and a name was entered for it; Didn't happen. )
So I figured that the new software updates unrooted my phone.
So I go back into SOC and root my phone again, but during the process, it tells me that I'm already rooted. Finishes the process and I reboot my phone, etc.
Well the Superuser app is in my list now, but none of the root-required apps are working. They all tell me that I'm not rooted. I even used Root Check to see the status. It tells me as well, that I'm not rooted.
I go back to the SOC program and UNroot. Well that was successful. I reboot, etc.
No Superuser app. So far so good. So I go BACK again and root, everything went well, except when it said an 'su' command was sent to my phone, I never got one, but I still got the Superuser app. And still, the apps tell me I'm not rooted.
Any kind of help is great. I really appreciate all the time, spent reading this.
Sorry if I went on and on, but it's bugging me now and I really need some answers to what the problem might be. Thanks, guys. ;(
superoneclick does not work on ed05
you need to odin cwm recovery
then reboot into recovery using three finger method
install root.zip file
then reboot
directions for rooting with odin is here:

SOC does work with ED05.. I've used it several times, different phones.
Really? I thought quite a few folks were having trouble with soc after the ota ed05 update? If thats the case, then thanks for the clarification... although odin is still another option for the op since soc is not working.

I read most of the first page on that thread, mostly just read the latest replies about that method. I'll read the full directional tutorial once I'm clarified of questions.
I think I read a couple of users saying this does root your phone, but it will wipe all data as well? I'm not quite sure. I want my phone rooted, no matter if I install MIUI or not. I don't want a factory reset though.
Thanks droidstyle, I'm back to being rooted!
Now onward to flashing MIUI! Wish me luck.

Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 GT-i9300 running 4.1.1 Baseband 19300XXDLIB.
I have been trying and trying and trying for the last few days to root my mobile. I take care following all of the steps and I have tried every type of root program and files I think are available but even though they download to the phone and reboot into their custom recovery, then install the files needed to root, none of them have worked!!
It's strange because the phone is just unrootable it seems. I have tried several versions of Odin. I've tried what should be 1 click rooters but nothing works! The most recent files I have used to download to my phone via Odin were CF-Auto-Root-m0-gti9300, CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4, SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse, SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse and SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse all of which have been recommended to me and I have strictly followed YouTube videos and written guides. I don't think I am doing anything wrong yet I still have no root access. The last root I tried installed a CWM app (I know it stands for Clock Work Mod but not sure what I am supposed to do with it) but not SuperSU which is supposed to come with it.
Please can someone help? I'm tearing my hair out here!
I should probably point out I am not using the stock ROM as I did manage to brick my phone at one point and had to install another firmware, although I would like to go back to my original firmware yet I am not sure what it was...is it possible to figure out what the stock firmware should be? The phone is unbranded from the UK.
Many thanks

No you can only guess .
TO ROOT .
Factory reset the phone and install CF root 6.4 via Odin .
But its really pointless rooting when you don't have a clue as to why or what .
BASICS .

May also be because your computer hasn't been installed with the samsung drivers yet? Kies i think it's called..
Have you tried downloading supersu from the play store? And be sure to not try superuser but supersu.
I had the same thing with cf-autoroot. supersu wasn't there and I didn't have root. Tried several times, never worked. After that I tried rooting with the old cf-root that also installs cwm recovery. Recovery was there but no supersu and the phone didn't get root. Tried that several times too but that didn't help either, although that is how I rooted my phone successfully right after I had bought it. Went back to cf-autoroot, same result, no root. But as soon as I downloaded the app supersu manually and updated the binarys as it tells you to at first start, I had root.

Kies is not required (and its junkie bloatware that doesn't properly clean itself up on uninstall anyway)
Windows can pull the drivers from WU.
You Sir, are a legend! Thank you very much, you have sorted my problem I had SuperUser instead of SuperSU like you stated. Who would've thought it'd be so easy to fix?

You should probably not just imagine that just because someone has a problem that they don't have a clue what they are doing. I have done this numerous amounts of times with several phones, my Samsung was just slightly more difficult since I had made an easy mistake by not taking note of my original firmware and by not realizing that I needed SuperSU and not SuperUser (which I'm sure is a common and easy mistake).
Try next time not to put a fellow site member down.

I rooted my verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 when I first got it with no problem.
A week ago I was misled by Verizon's sucky PC software to "repair" my phone. I inadvertently wiped the whole thing and it was returned to factory preset status, so the root was gone.
Now I'm trying to re-root the phone, but with no luck. I boot my phone into download mode fine. But everytime I try to get Odin to flash the "SCH-I545_MD2_423399_Kernel.tar.md5" rom, it fails at the first step! It just says "Fail", and that's the end of it.
I'm clueless about what to do. I've tried different USB cables, restarted both devices multiple times. I even tried unpacking the tar file before opening Odin.
Can anyone advise? I'm out of ideas.

Unfortunately, it seems as if you took the OTA Update, at this time I don't know if we have root abilities, or Loki/unlocked bootloader hack...
Many people have done this, you're not alone. Have patience, the great team of dev that are in this community are working on it.
Best of kick

Hi folks,
Ive been having a strange problem with a couple Galaxy Mega I9200. I have rooted both before without any problems using KINGO originally. The i decided to update both of them with version UBUCNA2. When i tried to re root them back, even though the process have run fine a couple times the phone is not rooting. At this point i dont know what else to do to try to root those phones. I have tried every single method around this forum i think not just KINGO this time. And have not been able to reach root the way it should. Titanium backup shows not able to aquire root priviledges, and other root apps also. Can someone please help me on this?? Keep in mind im not a newbie so dont give me the recovery method advice without something new or to use KINGO because ive have done that already. Thanks a lot guys
You upgraded your phones to the latest knox enabled firmware which has the knox bootloader. You cannot go back to an older firmware or flash a custom rom now.
To root, try the directions provided in this thread and use the melius3gxx files instead of meliusltexx.

Ok thanks, the phones already had the knox apk so my guess was that it was going to be the same thing. Thanks for clarifying that one. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks again, turns out the only thing that is failling root access is when i try to unlock the phone via box. For some reason when its checking for SU access it fails. But thanks anyway i managed to solve the Root problem.
root.
I rooted through Phill touch Recovery.
i own a sprint slate 8 aqt80 i recently rooted it with king root. and after about a week of it routed everything started freezing up on it. so i came here to see if i could find a solution and a post i had found gave me instructions on the removal of kingroot using an app called super sume. once run it needed another program to aid in the removal and the first time failed and error messages popped every second pretty much so thought my only option was to reboot into recovery and do a full wipe . so i did . attempted to install magisk in place and as i was accepting permisions for magisk in a very quick popup kingroot pops up as im pressing the approval button for magisk. wrll long story short king root made itself a sysyem app and there was no uninsyalling that without root now. ran supersume again followef instructions to a t. and it seemed like it worked after the third phase said king root was uninstalled to restart. so i did . now im stuck in boot loop usb debugging not enabled cannot find recovery for life of me . been to hp website downloaded their update.zip and have tried adb sideload numerous times and aborts somewhere between 40 & 50% evertime . plz can someone help . i dont know where else to look. it would be greatly appreciated
Don't use kingroot. Ever.
