I rooted with kingroot but now i have realised that i cannot get OTA updates and neither can i uninstall kingroot.
I have tried replacing it with supersu and i have also tried the supersume app to no avail... Ssupersume appears to work but when i do a factory reset it returns
Does anyone know how can i get rid of Kingroot?

I tried like 3-4 different app for rooting none of them works.
Problem is it always says NO SU binary, and I've already tried few apps that should like fix that, but it doesn't work.
Currently I have 4.1.1. on factory reset.
Any tips how to do proper root?

If you have one of the newer versions of TWRP and you try to exit TWRP without having root installed I thought it would tell you and offer to install it for you ?
As the title states, I'm trying to root my phone using towelroot, yet everytime that it runs all it does is reboot my phone which according to the splash screen for towelroot, says that it's unsuccessful. How do I go about correcting this?

Have you downloaded SuperSU yet? I had the same issue until I did. I think I remember that was the solution.
Here are the complete instructions for rooting with Towelroot, not much to it.

Install SuperSU and busybox onto your phone before you try towel root, these will install but not set up. make sure you have usb debugging turned on, then try it again. SuperSu will bond with towel root and then ask to turn off knox...knox is trying to block it. You need SuperSu and then busybox running. if you get it rooted you'll be able to update SuperSu and set up busy box...maybe rom tool box, lucky patcher blackmart alpha, and rom manager after you get rooted too.
I had an instance where towel root said it worked and apps were saying I still needed full root access, so I used kingo android root to finish over it.
you can also try kingo android root (your decision and you own risk) it worked for me most times without any crap installed. even the chinese version rooted my phone but it puts its own program and SU, but if you already have SuperSU and busybox installed, the SuoerSu will uninstall those other SU apps and still have root. (your decision and you own risk).
Idk what those programs are that the post above me refer to, but all I did is download selinux mode changer and set to permissive, then use towelroot. See if that helps any

@ryant35: Thanks for the insight, I had it downloaded, and I was following that guide - it didn't mention installing SuperSU until the device is rooted ( and SafeStrap installed )
@Neontc: SELinux Mode changer depends upon the device already being rooted from what I read on the download page. I'll give it a shot though.
If anyone knows how to fool TowelRoot into thinking that it's online, I'd be very happy to hear that news. I'm going to be out to sea without internet for my phone for about a month, and I'm still actively trying to root my phone...
Thanks again for the quick responses, and I'll try to update when I can as far as what's happened and how I fixxed it!
Maybe I am wrong more than likely I am but I was under the impression that busybox was included somehow with the towel root install. I went with the towel root first then came back with the su after the root was installed after I checked to make sure the root took using root checker from the play store. Jesse

So i rooted my Samsung galaxy ring SPH-M840 with framaroot (the most recent version) and didnt know about the OTA survival option in superuser so when i updated i lost root or partially lost root (im not sure). i cant update the binary with superuser or supersu, i cant unistall superuser either.
Now when i try to root with the Gandalf exploit that worked the first time it throws a #13 error and fails
I tried every method under the sun that i know of to try and root this thing again but nothing has worked.
Any advice would be very helpful.

I don't know if it ever received an OTA update, but I just rooted a M840 after several tries. Only Framaroot 1.7.0 worked, and I ran Gandalf exploit twice before rebooting.
Root after OTA!
There is an App named Towel-Root, and here you must only Download/Installation the Towel-Root-App, start it, and the App Rooting the Device in seconds, and installs a SuperUser-Binary!
That works for me on my last 3-Devices! Just in Google search Towel-Root-App, and you should find the App easy!
I have an LG G3 32gb D85521A but I can't root it with the 5.0 firmware it came with. I need to downgrade to KitKat in order to root it, but I don't know which KDZ to use.
Which one is for the 32Gb version and what happens if I use the wrong one?
At this moment I have
Europe D85530B_00_1217.kdz
Greece D85510L_00.kdz
Spain D85521A_00.kdz
The way I see it, the Spanish seems to be the one I need (D85521A matches my model), but what happens after I root the phone and need to upgrade back to 5.0? Will LG Suite install its Spanish counterpart of 5.0?
GOOD NEWS!!!
I've managed to root my LG G3 without the need to downgrade to KitKat. PurpleDrake's method helped me do that and Root Check confirmed it, but:
1) I've followed PurpleDrake's instruction and went online to install SuperSU and it said something about a binary update, that there is another root in the system that prevents SuperSU from updating and that I should uninstall it in order to proceed.
2) In one of my attempts to root my phone I've installed Kingroot but it failed to root it. (there were some ads and when I scrolled down there was something about a memory boost and a button TRY IT. It required internet connection so I gave up. The root didn't work so I've uninstalled the app, or so I thought.
After PurpleDrake's root I've performed a factory reset to see if SuperSU stays in place, but instead of that I saw Kingroot stuck in my system.
Is there a way to totally get rid of Kingroot and keep SuperSU even after a factory reset?
Is Kingroot the program that prevents SuperSU from updating, or PurpleDrake conflict with it?
I have an HD6 that's on 5.3.1 that was successfully rooted. I've always used Kingroot to handle root access without issue, but going on the recommendation of the thread I followed to root (and many suggestions I've seen on here) I replaced Kingroot with SuperSu. All was well for a few weeks, but I started noticing instability in some apps that I use all the time. I never had such problems with Kingroot, so via process of elimination I figured SuperSu must somehow be to blame. Under settings I chose the "tidy up" option for if you want to uninstall SuperSu and replace it with another root control app, so I chose it. I DID NOT choose the full unroot / uninstall option although that's what seems to have happened. The steps were simple enough. SuperS would uninstall and close out. I then rebooted to finish the process and installed Kingroot. That should have been the end of it, but Kingroot informs me that I'm not rooted. There is no direct root for this tablet on this is version afaik, and the process to root is long and I don't care to repeat it. I don't need root that bad. I'm mainly curious since this should not have happened. Has anyone else had a similar experience, and is my root completely gone or just hiding?
Just need to boot into TWRP and flash SuperSu.zip, boot to OS, authorize SU to Kingroot, then unistall SuperSU. It should work fine
