Hi, I have a samsung galaxy duos, android 4.0.4. pretty old, i know.
anyway a few months ago i found a way to finally root my phone(i couldnt find a good root app that worked) i used kingo root which automatically roots my phone using my pc, after a few months of having my phone rooted, the main root app stopped working and would crash every time an app would request root permission or when i tried to open the app itself.
now the deal is, i cant use my root, i cant uninstall the root, i cant replace the root app, any solution to this?
Well in such case you have to manually remove it by flashing a custom recovery and deleting all the files created by kingroot such as base apk. And the su library planted by it.
All the best:good:

it is rooted.... i can clean dalvic through cwm recovery but cant gain root permissions I think that part of the stock root manager or something like that is left on the system that denies root permission to other apps but don't know what to do, I have million settings and phone numbers and apps and other stuff that I don't want to lose but titanium backup is not working either..... If I wanted I could have flashed the same rom (it's still on the sd) and I think that would fix it but I don't want another flash if possible

Look man, superuser is ROOT. Either your phone is rooted or it is not. A rooted phone can run apps that require it like ClockworkMod ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Wireless Tether for Root Users, File managers like Root Explorer or ES File Manager if you want to be able to access the system areas of the phone. So far as I know, there is no "SuperUser of ClockworkMod". If your phone is rooted (You will see superuser or "Super SU" in your app drawer. Here is a free app from the playstore that will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
Root Checker
Install it and use it to see if your phone is still rooted or if you lost root somehow. If you still have root, then when CWM starts, it will ask for root privileges and the first time it asks, you will be prompted to grant it, once, for a certain time period, or forever. For stuff like CWM, root file managers, and Titanium Backup, you always grant root forever and you will not be asked again until the app updates and requires you to okay granting root privileged or not, then you grand forever and leave it alone.
If you find out you do not have root or lost your root, then you have to root the phone and the procedure is different for different devices, versions, and ROMS. For that kind of help, you have to search for rooting <your particular device and android version number>

Thanks for answer, well I thinked that too, because my phone cant use root privileges if the aplication superuser isnt installed, however with te superuser aplication my phone have root privileges but with the previous version, with actual version my phond dont have root, even the people in google play say the same "with the new version my phone losed root" and similars comments...
maybe the root version (clockWorkMod) work in this way and need the app for work.

Solved it? No problem
I have searched the web for rooting this kind of phone, and I have not found anything. All I know is that it's possible, since this guy did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641478
I presume it's the same as for the older versions, but I want to make sure.
OS version: 4.2.2
Kernel Version:3.4.5
Thank you.
According to this: http://www.srsroot.com/\supported your device is supported.
And how does this work?
This does not work, I tried it, and it said the rooting was complete. After I tried to install some root apps, they did not work. So I tried it again, but it says that I do have root access.
Hmm. Which superuser app did it install? It's not uncommon to need to either update the superuser app and / or update the SU binary (should prompt through the app if needed). Go to the Play Store and see if there is an update to the app, then open it and see if it prompts you to update the binary as well. If you don't have the Play Store on your device, just let me know which version of the SU app was installed and I'll see if there's is an update available. I don't get the chance to mess with many off brand products like this, so do not have direct experience, just tons of android experience in general.
Found some more info from a random Russian site (via Google Translator) http://translate.google.com/transla...rch?q=prestigio+duo+5450+CWM&espv=2&es_sm=122
Might try and install CWM recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip if all else fails.
I used SRSroot if that is what you are asking.
If you are asking about what app I downloaded to test it, I used titanium, which told me that it could not access the root. I just downloaded it.

No, was referring to which Superuser app was installed during the root process. Typically this should be either Koush's SuperUser or Chainfire's SuperSU. And test with another app as Titanium can be a little weird with root access on some devices as well as needing Busybox to run properly and not all root methods also set up Busybox. Try any of these: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=rootchecker

Hello,
I have Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO, I tried all rooting crap and it didnt work. BUT one did worked. It is used on PC. You connect your phone to pc and then run the program, and choose which method you want to use(depends on phone). After some tries it worked. I dont remember what was the software called, but if I find it, I will surely edit my post.
There was no program installed during the rooting process.

Then VERY unlikely it worked. You can doublecheck and install this and see what it says: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu . It'll most likely say you are missing the SU binary and fail to install it for you without proper root. Other options include CWM recovery and a custom prerooted rom.
Rooting
If you still nid a root for PAP5450Duo I have this phone and this root app worked: download Framaroot 1.9.3 (use the Boromir exploit).
So, I've tried probably EVERY method for root. I've used iRoot, King Root, Kingo Root, Towel Root, etc. and none of them have worked. Has anyone found out how to root this tablet?
I'm just commenting because ive been trying the same. I'd like to know an answer also.
I'm also looking for a root method. It's very worth it.
I have tried to root my tablet also and cannot find a way to do it. Please, someone help to root the DL718M
I've got root
So there is another thread here on XDA where another user was able to get root with KingRoot apk one click root v 4.8.2 that you can get by searching for it here on XDA. I was also successfully able to root the device and also switched to SuperSu instead of the KingRoot app as it is kind of notorious for being a bit shady. This was done with the app SuperSu me pro from the playstore. It was all fairly easy to do. Only thing is I can't figure out how to get custom recovery and or Xposed framework to work. But all other root apps work such as changing font, root explorers, etc.
I've done exactly that without any success. I've tried KingRoot versions 4.8.2, 4.8.5, and 4.9.0.
I have the same build, kernel and model, and I've turned on Debugging and turned off "Warn about potentially harmful apps". I have tried each version of K.R. 5 time each without any success. Any tips?
Didn't work for me...

I've tried with KingRoot as well, but so far, no luck with it on this device. Worked great to root two of my other devices, tho.
Is there any easy way to root this, preferably without pc?
I rooted my phone using kingroot before and after removing al root authorization i found that kingroot has been installed as system app
also whenever i open the kingroot app it restarts my phone
how could i completely remove it
there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)
my phone is NTT Docomo Sony Xperia SO-O4E
tried factory reset twice, deleting cached apps data, still doesnt work
a basic rundown on how it all happened :
-uninstall some bloatware from phone
-phone starts to restart randomly
-deleted cached apps data, no more random restart
-remove kingroot root auth and uninstall
-found out that phone cannot connect to play store, also kingroot has installed itself as system app

If your bootloader is already unlocked, the easiest way would be to restart the phone in fastboot mode, then boot (you don't need to flash it) TWRP and install SuperSU from a flashrecovery zipfile. This will remove kingroot app and running processes (mind you, there may be some dead kingroot traces left over on the filesystem - if you want to remove these too, you'll have to do so from a shell with root permissions). I haven't tried this with the Sony Xperia ZR/NTT Docomo Sony Xperia A (SO-04E), but it seems to work with most phones that are supported by TWRP. I wrote a short guide on how to do this (it's for a different device but these steps should be mostly generic if you have the necessary prerequisites in place).
Another good thing about SuperSU is that if you don't wish to keep root, it will remove itself cleanly and completely from your system (you'll find the unroot option in the apps settings). If however you would like to keep root, then SuperSU is an app that doesn't spy on you and doesn't phone home (I did a thorough check of the shell script used to install SuperSU and a rough check of the SuperSU apk using strings and wireshark only yesterday and as far as I could tell, it doesn't attempt to do anything malicious or touch files that it doesn't need to touch for its purpose, nor did it start a single internet connection by itself). The automatic NVISO analysis at https://apkscan.nviso.be/report/show/99a7841aa3eeaefa69f767602b0c454c confirms this too. Just saying this in case you decided to move away from root due to spyware concerns.
TWRP is an open source project. Their Homepage is https://twrp.me/
The TWRP image files for your device arel located here https://dl.twrp.me/dogo/
SuperSU homepage is https://www.chainfire.eu/ , the latest flashrecovery zipfile can be found here http://www.supersu.com/download
Both projects also have their own sections here on xda.
SuperSU also has it's own sections here on xda.
there's also the problem of the phone not able to connect to google play store (no connection, cannot login account)

Was this problem related to the rooting process in any way?
Does your internet access work otherwise?
What happens exactly when you start google play?
hi, thank you for the reply
the phone has only been rooted once with kingroot app, which i have removed (both the supposed app and the root auth), but kingroot app installed itself as system app without my permission and whenever i open the app my phone reboots
i'll try looking for ways to flash the phone
as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem
i tried following the steps from google help page but it doesnt seem to do anything
i'm thinking that the hosts.txt file cause this so im trying to delete it, but i found no other way to delete it without rerooting my phone
i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either
thanks before and sorry for the late reply
EDIT : i dont think i can unlock the bootloader officially so i need an exploit

In that case, you will have to root first. Once having gained root access you can unlock the bootloader. To root, you can either use the kingroot app you used before (not much to loose, since you already installed it and its spyware the first time, and you will later be able to remove it with SuperSU). Or you can try towelroot, although if your smartphone has seen firmware updates, that will propably no longer work. There may be other, more current options - search trough the Xperia ZR Section.
Once you have root, you can use adb and fastboot to boot the latest TWRP for Sony Xperia ZR, then install the latest SuperSU recovery flashable zip. Using that you can completely remove Kingroot even as a system app and afterwards remove SuperSU itself, which will cleanly uninstall itself via Settings.
Code:
as for the play store, it always show the no connection screen even though i can browse the internet without any problem

i tried factory reset twice but it doesnt seem to help either
I would try the above first, see if the playstore works again after you SuperSU has completely removed Kingroot (reboot), and if it doesn't take a look at the hosts file. Then uninstall SuperSU when you don't need root anymore...
I can help along with adb/fastboot commands, but you need to root your device first (and install the necessary drivers for your phone on your computer).
Good luck!
