D620r rooting issue
So I've followed the steps but it doesn't seem to budge.
Here is what I do exactly, and tell me if I do something wrong.
1. I install the kingroot thingie, and root with it. It instals KingUser and something written in Chinese/Japanese/Korean (can't differentiate between those).
2. I install the SuperSu from playstore (did try with the one in MRW folder as well, didn't do anything different).
3. I attempt to install binaries but it fails (tried rebooting, still the same)
4. Using ES File Explorer I copy the MRW folder to the internal storage.
5. I am installing the Terminal Emulator on play store.
6. Then I'm opening the terminal emulator, type in "Su" (without the ") and hit enter and as a response I get "/system/bin/sh: Su: not found
7. Then for the sake of it I try inputting "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
8. As a response I get "mount: operation not permitted java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: killBackgroundProcesses() from pid=10412, uid=10117 requires android.permission.KILL_BACKGROUND PROCESSES" and it follows by several lines of code and that is that.
After that KingRoot, KingUser and the Chinese/Japanese/Korean thingie are still there, SuperSu still can't install binaries and root support is crappy at best. Some things work but most don't since the permissions are managed by KingUser which is really crappy.
Any idea why the thingie won't work?
I have a LG G2 Mini, with Lollipop 5.0.2 bought from T-Mobile, updated it to Lollipop myself.
When I had it on KitKat I had proper root managed by SuperSu.

Try everything from the begining, install Kingroot and without installing SuperSU from market execute root.sh from terminal (with 'su' previously).
Yai!

okay using "su" instead of "Su" did change everything, now SuperSu binaries are installed, KingUser is gone. Thank you! I've been busting my head over typo. -.-
Finally I can start customizing my device now

Kingroot needs active internet connection, maybe you switched it off.

Hello,
I rooted my 8.9" and lose root after i installed busybox. Right now, i cannot install SU binary. I tried factory reset, unroot, and reroot without any success. Is there a way i can install SU binary manually?
Thanks.
anyone???
It appears that I will have to live with it.
Thanks.

I don't know what or how you did what you did. You won't get many answers without providing specific examples.
I for one have NEVER heard of ANYONE losing root from BusyBox, but everyone I know, including myself, uses BusyBox Pro v. 10.5 currently. Most of the people I know also use SuperSU from Chainfire. Generically saying tha some busybox installation messed with some generic root or SU installation/binary, really does not give anyone much to go on.
You can apply the root exploit again. There is no issue with that, or you can use adb to copy the su binary over, set permissions & ownership & the cp it to the correct directory.
At any rate, there are too many possibilities & possible solutions depending on what you did & how you did it.

Hi GSLEON3,
You have given me hope. Thank you for the respond. I rooted my HDX 8.9 with no issue. Without knowing if I have busybox, I downloaded and installed the attached busybox apk. After that, I lose root. When I open SuperSU, I was asked to install SU binary, but when I click "Normal", the SU binary installation will fail. I tried unrooting and rerooting (with Bin4ry method as well as manual) without any success. Error messages such as "must be SUID to work properly" when I tried unroot and reroot. Guess i lose write ability. I will really appreciate it if you can tell me how to adb to copy SU binary or help me get root back.
Thanks.

I will never test it. I don't trust a root app which need internet connection. For what does it need internet? Sending something to someone? I do not trust it. If you say it works, post some screenshots of working titanium backup, betterbatterystats or other apps
I tried another method for other LG Lollipop firmwares, but not working (but at least it works via ADB and download mode, with no internet connection needed -.-)
I just installed the Kingroot app and clicked "START ROOT" and it worked perfectly, i don't even did the rest of the tutorial...
I attached a screenshot of greenify with auto hibernation active (you need root for that, sorry for the Portuguese language)!
Big thanks!

"Do a risk or leave it", wise words. I gave it a try because of XDA translated it into english (but it's still a suspicious app -.-). Now, any idea on how to use SuperSU instead of KingUser? I want remove everything without installing anything else from shell

I meant 'Risk it or leave it'. You are so grouchy today (or always?). You will use this app only once so just do it.

If you're so damn wise just inspect scripts that are used from mrw folder and see if it has something suspicious.

I do it like this:
1. Use KingRoot to root.
2. Install SuperSU and Terminal.
3. Open Terminal and type: su then sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
4. SuperSU will open automatically and will ask for binary, accept it and you are done

use last version of supersu (v2.49 - BETA) it has improved Kingroot removal :good:
Just to make clear to everybody, you don't need to install supersu from Play Store you already have it in mrw folder, and when you start root.sh script it will automaticaly install it from folder. I did it a couple of times in the last few days with no problem.
good to know. now just use KingRoot and type command in terminal.
maybe now nobody will have problems with it

that's weird, bcoz i uninstalled bloatware and no problems at all. probably you deleted not that folder
i got rom from D620 (without LTE) and phone D620R (with LTE) and i don't really care for LTE for now so i got no problems, everything works fine.
SuperSU says update binary failed. Its some another root method or somebody knows where can be a problem?
I have d620r.
After rooting we instal busybox and SuperSU (or Superuser) and avail the benefits of rooting. When we unroot through SuperSU, is it possible that 'su' still remains inside '/system' folder? I came across a strange phenomenon : I rooted my Celkon Q 500 ( by Root Genius or One-click method or something else, I do not remember) and installed many root apps. After somedays, I decided to unroot, I uninstalled super su, busybox. Then, I tried to root it again. But, I noticed that one root checker says ur device is rooted(specifically through Root Genius PC software I got the message rooted and pressed the 'unroot' button, but it said failed), 2nd root checker says it is non-rooted, 3rd one says it has root access through ADB. I checked 'su' is present in some folder inside '/system', which could not be deleted , because I think, I do not have RW privilege. I had tried many method to root it again, but all failed. When I open Supersu, it throws an immediate message that 'su binary' needs to be updated and when I try it fails everytime. Can anyone meke me understand, what is the real proble.? Celkon Q 500 is Broadcom chip based, running android 4.4.2. Also I found One message in the root checker that "SELinux enforced".

reinstall super su from play store go to settings in super su app and unroot there
selinux enforced means that your kernel is not permissive. has nothing to do with root
If you was one of those who root their devices by using KingRoot App and would like to remove kinguser and related files, you can replace it with the well known SuperSU.
Here's a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, all related files and folders, and install SuperSU.
This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminal, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files.
Before starting :
Download and install Terminal emulator appTerminal emulator app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Download and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip
http://tiny.cc/fo78zx
Steps :
Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files
Open Terminal emulator and type :
"Su" (without "")
Allow root permission
Type :
" sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh" (without "" , notice there's space between sh /sdcard.)
It might display some error, but wait for 30-40 seconds and at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.
Done !
I ran the script and it went thru to installing Super Su but I lost root and couldn't update binaries. I redownloaded King Root and opened it and I instantly had root back. Are there other files that King Root has installed that don't allow this script to work. If you have any insight it wouldbe appreciated. I know I am on a different phone but script seems to work up to a point. ZTE Z820 Android 5.1 Thanks
I can confirm this method works on Lenovo Vibe X2 running Android 5.0. New Kingroot 4.5, the one with crown icon, successfully replaced by SuperSU while root status remain intact. A process crashed upon Kingroot removal, however restart seemed to get rid of the problem.

May I ask did you have busybox already downloaded and installed? I see that the zip contains busybox as one of the actions of the script. Maybe that's why it didn't work for me?? Also I have Kingroot 4.9.2 and I'm thinking that is the main reason the script fails for me.

I had KingRoot v.4.85, on a KitKat 4.4.
The script didn't work, so I plug the phone and connected to the computer, opened a console, executed the adb shell command and start to give each of the script commands manually one by one.
The failure was at pm uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser (com.kingroot.RushRoot wasn't installed anyway).
The packet manager wasn't able to uninstall Kingroot. I had to uninstall manually using the phone
Code:
H:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140702\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
[email protected]_z10:/ $ su
[email protected]_z10:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system

I have rooted my phone (Android 5.1) with kingroot 4.8.0, I also want to remove KingRoot and replace it with supersu.
I plan to execute the script line by line via an ssh session as root on my phone.
finally how have you uninstalled Kingroot manually ?

I modified the script in this way:
After
Code:
pm uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser
I've added
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.buak.Link2SD/.Link2SD
echo "Press any key to continue"
read typedkeys
The first of the three added rows launches Link2SD app (that I've installed on my phone since I rooted it); the last line pause the script execution.
I used Link2SD to uninstall Kingroot.
Anyway I have to say that, even though the installation of SuperSU seems completed without errors, the apps that asks for root permissions didn't receive the answer from SuperSU and they aren't granted root permission, so... it still doesn't work.
it did not work, superSU can not update binary and can not uninstall the other root app (kingroot)
guys,I am telling you a working method which worked for me..
but you are going to need some version specific apps for first time..
things you need...
1. clean MICROMAX a311
2. kingoroot KingRootSetup_v3.2.0.1129 (i can upload it if you want)
3. Supersume.apk {MUST BE VERSION 6.4} (application used to change from kingroot to supersu)
note -- Pay attention to versions,messing with them will not allow you to achieve target.
steps..
1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)
2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option
3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...
4. after rooting,install supersume on phone
5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...
done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

Just used this solution on a Vodafone Tab speed 6 (VF-1397).
Seemed to work fine but after updating superSU and rebooting the Tablet, screen went black when boot reached unlock screen and couldn't see or do anything except using the power button options.
After some reboots (lost count, ~5/6, and failed atemps to enter recovery), (and the removal of the sim card) the tablet finaly started to optimize all my apps as if the dalvik cache had been wiped.
Afterwards screen went black again and couldn't do anything again.
After some time was finaly able to enter recovery and i'am now trying to format everything.

Sorry to hear that...
can you tell how you were UPDATING supersu ??
i also updated from 2.4.5 to 2.6.5 without any problems...
were you using genuine zip of supersu meant for your device ??
or just regular zip ??
don't you have backup of your tab....you were rooted..
1st thing you were to do was to make a full backup...why didn't you did that ??
Script didn't work for me, tons of errors because the path wasn't right. Fixed it to have exactly the same but still plenty of errors and SU binary would not update.
That supersume.apk thing though... MAGIC!!
Thanks heaps!!!
Device reboots
Any idea why the device reboots when I press enter at the last command? I did everything correctly, step by step like you describe it but instead of replacing the KingRoot with SuperSu the device reboots and the KingRoot is still there.
The device is Sony Xperia SP (C5303)
Any help would be great cause I used the exact same method some time ago in my tablet (Lenovo A8) and it worked perfectly. But not in the Xperia and I don't know if I should fully unroot it and try a different method or what.

If you was one of those who root their devices by using KingRoot App and would like to remove kinguser and related files, you can replace it with the well known SuperSU.

All is done how you describe, everything was just fine and now I have a Lenovo S850 with android 4.4.2 rooted with SuperSU Free 2.78
Thanks a lot.
Does it also work with Kingsroot 5?

Hi,
I need to root a Zebra TC56 to install some other apps that require rooted Android. There is very little information in the way of rooting the Zebra TC56. I 'm pretty set on using Chainfire's superSU, but I cannot find any information on whether it will work on this hardware. Does anyone know if the superSU works on this device with Android 6? If not, is there another Root Tool that will work.
Any advice appreciated.
THANK YOU!

1. Install BusyBox applet-suite what contains the SU-binary
2. Install latest SuperSU APK

BusyBox installed fine.
SuperSU will not install all the way. When I select to root, it says root not detected and then, "How to Root", which launches my browser to a site that no longer exists.
Now what?
Thank You!
edit: Still stuck at this point. I read about TWRP, KingoRoot and some other random apps. I cannot brick this touch computer; it is $1600; that would be a very expensive brick. :crying:
So, I have no idea if I am right, but maybe I need to open the terminal emulator and "su" install the SuperSU apk. But I have no idea and I don't want to experiment. Hopefully, someone can help me.

Don't confuse things:
SU is the super user who unrestrictedly can perform any operation on Android OS. As soon as SU got installed Android is rooted! Again: BusyBox you successfully installed contains the su applet.
SuperSU is merely a root-manager app: it maintains a database where is stored what app can act as super user. SuperSU app doesn't grant super user rights.
BTW:
TWRP has nothing to do with rooting device's Android, as this is also true with Magisk.
The device is still not rooted after the "BusyBox Installer (No Root)", from your link, was installed.
I installed BusyBox, I followed the directions to then copy a command, then open a terminal, paste the command in and hit enter, then nothing happened. SuperSU was not installed with it.
So, as you told me, I then installed the latest SuperSU APK from your link. It says it installed, but when I run it, it says root not detected and then has a link named, "How to Root", which launches my browser to a site that no longer exists.
I followed what you said. Where did I go wrong?
Thank You!
You didn't get it. Sorry to say this.

Didn't get what?
I installed the BusyBox you gave me the link to.
I semi-installed the SuperSU you gave me the link to.
SuperSU did not fully install, because the Android is NOT rooted..
BusyBox had no SuperSU as part of it --the file you said to use even says "BusyBox Installer (No Root)".
(That should have tipped me off right away you had no clue, but I thought maybe you knew something.
So, you gave me the links for both of those files and it doesn't work.
I don't think you have any idea what you are doing; and shouldn't be explaining things you do not understand.
The "no root" BusyBox, does not include SuperSU.
If it did, why did you give me the link for the separate SuperSU file?
All the "no root" BB did was install a terminal emulator (with no su abilities).
The SuperSU didn't install, because the Android is NOT rooted.
If the Android WAS rooted, SuperSU would run and allow me to grant su privilges to the apps that require it to work.
You basically just wasted my time.
I would have just said "thank you" and moved on, but you are rude.
You don't know what you are talking about either.
Hopefully, this will help others, to not do what you say to do.

You're right: BusyBox (No Root) doesn't come with SU-binary. Wasn't aware of this. I misinterpreted APK's title. Pitty.
ERRARE HUMANUM EST ( To err is human ).
Installing BusyBox containing SU-binary requires your device's bootloader got unlocked before, because Android's /system partition gets modified. Hence manage to unlock device's bootloader as 1st thing of all things. Good luck.
DL BusyBox latest: https://github.com/meefik/busybox/releases/download/1.31.1/busybox-1.31.1-46.apk
My last 2 cents here: SuperSU and SU binary are totally different things.
