I need to use an app but I can't because the phone is rooted and this is not allowed by the application. When I start the application an error mesage appears that is telling me that I can't use it because the phone is jailbreaked or rooted.
Please help me find a solution

Have you tried rootkeeper that is in the market?
Hello guys, since the last tutorial I posted was really popular I decided to post another one for my other phone, the LG G2. You don't even need to use any command prompt for this. The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons.
1. Download this file: https://tr.im/64637 <--- HELP ME! OR http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone.
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognize the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!
EXTRA: Video for "visual" learners!

Post below if you have questions or don't understand.
EDIT: I know you guys might not trust this, but I used it and it worked perfectly. There aren't any problems with this root, and there are no viruses on my PC that I know of. And I regularly scan my PC.
If you want to see my other thread, about 100 people replied and most of them successfully rooted their phone!
I believe that this isn't a virus. If you don't want to use it, don't. But trust me it works and nothing happened to me!

I don't think the issue is that this may be a virus. But, the root process gathers critical phone information (IMEI ans serial number) and sends it back to a server.

Yeah may be, I don't think so, nothing bad has happened to my IMEI or Serial. I still think that you can use this, because many thousands have and none have reported anything bad. What if the data being sent was only information for statistical purpose?

No problem guys!
Just an update on the VROOT/KINGO rooting program.
We have been in contact wit KINGO Software and have received the following response..
Once we received your letter, we realized the seriousness of this whole IMEI issue and we removed it from our code right away.

Again this was from KINGO not VROOT.
VROOT has not been in contact with us.
USE THIS SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I suggest using the newest version of KINGO if no XDA developed method works.
In past versions of both softwares there was XDA dev's work (without credits)
If you use this and find out that someone on the other side of the world has a phone with your IMEI # and your phone no longer works, then you have been warned.

I think that VROOT aswell will take it away if we ask them... but anyway I don't really think they are going to do something bad with the IMEIs..

We did ask already
We had contacted both KINGO & VROOT at the same time.
Kingo has been responsive and made the necessary changes to comply with the XDA rules.
We have not heard ANYTHING from VROOT.
At that time both software's were the same (almost identical). We were thinking that they are a part of the same group.
I still recommend that you use a method developed here on XDA, or the newest version of Kingo's software
However it is your choice.
Thanks for the cooperation on this matter,

Yes I have noted similiarities within the two websites... I really hope that VROOT proceedes to take the IMEI down aswell... although I really don't think that something bad is going to happen; many people have done it and until now there haven't been reports of IMEI misuse... I could be wrong though they may do it in the future, but for now i think it's safe.
Anyone else tried it?
Why don't people just use towelroot?
- download app from Internet
- install on phone
- start app
- click the button "make it rain"
- finished, you just got root
Andriod Version 4.4.2
Software Version VS89022A
Tried looking everywhere and tried alot of different methods, it seems like no one knows how to root it and all the methods I tried didn't work.

You tried stump root? It works with just about any other android 4.4 lg phone. (Check out this thread.)
By the way, I couldn't get adb working on the LG enact. It doesn't even show up in device manager. Any ideas?

Did you enable USB Debugging? Did you see the prompt to accept the RSA key on the phone when you plug it in? Often time on LGs it pops up behind the screen that shows up to select MTP/PTP/Charging modes and it's easy to miss it. Sometimes you have to toggle through all the modes to get it to pop up. Thinking about it now...I know a lot of LGs for VZW need to be in...Internet Tethering mode? or whatever it is they call it, for root stuff to work, so might have something to do with that mode loading the correct drivers for adb.

I used the towelroot app by geohot. Rooted it. No problem.
I just can't seem to find a TWRP or CWM recovery for this device. It's evidently been neglected. I haven't found anything yet on flashing cyanogen (or anything else) on it, which is what I really want to do.

Clicking on random shortened url links and downloading random crap on a video with no comments and hardly any views? Sounds totally legit bro.
Hi, as the title suggests I'm looking for a root solution for the Alcatel Pop 2 (5) Premium 7044Y or Vodafone Smart Prime 6, which seem to be nearly identical. Also would like to know if stock roms are available for reflashing in case of brick. Thanks. :good:
[EDIT]
ROOT METHOD ADDED based on KingRoot, click here!
looking for how to root Vodafone Smart Prime 6 (vf - v895n) too
it was released a couple of weeks ago.
Source code already available!
Source Code:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/Vodafone_Smart_prime_6_20150413.tar.xz/download
ROOT available with KingRoot Method!

How to ROOT with the KingRoot method:
1 - Enable USB Debugging and Allow Unknown Sources.
2 - Turn off phone. Boot by pressing Power + Volume UP to enter stock recovery.
3 - Select English, then "Write Protect Switch" and choose "Set write protect off". A message should show up saying "write protect is off after reboot". Choose "cancel" and "reboot system now".
4 - Install KingRoot: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=654620&st=500 or at kingroot.net (use google translate)
5 - Leave Wifi on and run the KingRoot app. Press the blue button and wait till it shows 100%. If your device freezes, you most likely missed a step so just press POWER button until the device reboots and start over from the top.
6 - Check if you've successfully rooted with Root Checker or similar from the Play Store. Optionally, replace KingUser with SuperSu (link to guide below).

Does rooting enable network unlock?
Don't really want to root if I don't have to, and the common unlockers on fleabay have all said they can't unlock, hence now looking at rooting.
Any "decent" recommendations for unlockers that work, within a decent timeframe (9-10 days and I'd have to send the phone to, I was quoted by one!!)!
Thanks all

I have seen all the posts about being able to root Lolipop 5.0.1 with Kingroot. When I try this on my phone, it fails over and over. Any suggestions?
I've tried everything I can think of and tried what others have suggested. I can't get the apk or the windows version to work. Personally I'm a bit leary of Kingroot anyway.

At least you are not the only one having the problem as I thought I was.
If you're on OF1, I believe Kingroot isnt working currently. OC1 works from experience and people on the forums on the desktop. Check your build number. If on OC1, maybe you didn't turn on USB debugging?
I wish I could say it was something as simple as USB debugging. I'm on OC1 and took the update from 4.4.2 via Kies. That was my fault. My understanding was by doing that or taking the OTA update from Verizon it permenantly locks the bootloader.
I've tried every version of Kingmaster...apk will get to 52% and stop. The only thing I can think of is that I have not clicked the correct buttons on the PC version which is very possible. I have yet to find any English instructions for it. If anyone has them detailed please send.

I get the same thing. Kingroot gets to around 50% and then quits. I do feel that nothing is permanent, and with all the savvy techies out there, someone will figure out some sort of exploit. It is unfair for Verizon to lock down their phones to discourage people from switching carriers.
Well, read the EULA..
That said, Kingroot is still hit and miss.on OC1. OF1 came out in the past few weeks so I wouldn't expect anything for atleast a month.
Yep. It's unfortunate. For me, the reason I need to root is that I can't send texts with Tmo Simi a Verizon phone. This only happens on Tmo 4G. When signal drops to 3G or E, I can send text. I thought I would switch the antenna setting to stay on 3G. There is another post about this workaround somewhere on this forum.
Oh well. Maybe I'll find someone to trade me for a Tmobile S4.
Hello, I've tried running the apk of KingRoot on OC1 and it gets to usually 33% before its done so no root here either. I tried to download the desktop version and it won't even come up, so I guess we're stuck for now. I'm like a few others here, I don't fully trust KingRoot so I hope someone way smarter than me can come up with a program to root!

I tested on my OC1, KingRoot is working perfectly. I can't root it initially, but after changing another computer it works brilliantly this morning
Lots of people have talked about success with OC1 and Kingroot. Doesn't appear to work with OF1 though.
Sounds great...can you let us know the exact steps? I'll give it another shot. For me I guess since it's not in English I have found it tough.

I was in the same boat a week or so ago. I had been rooted but had a problem trying to flash another rom. I had to Odin back to stock but when I tried to root again the kingroot app no longer works. This is what worked for me. I went to the kingroot site and let Google translate the home page. You have to download the root installer zip, which to me, was the hardest part. I just used trial and error by clicking on boxes on the installer page until I got it downloaded. If needed I can download it again and post the methods, step by step.

Initially I was having the same issue while using KingRoot. This was what I did to make it work:
1. Uninstall KingRoot, restart your computer
2. Re-download kingroot from kingroot.net, choose " [windows logo] 下载电脑版本 "
3. Install KingRoot, run it
4. Turn on I545 usb debugging, plug in to your computer and you will see kingroot is running.
5. After loading you will see some chinese words 尚未Root。。。。。 or 发现新的root档案 。。。。 etc, click on the green button to start rooting and you will get it done.
6. I successfully have done more than 300pc I545 yesterday, however, sometimes if it keeps on loading without rooting what you need to do is to restart your computer and re-do it again
I can understand chinese, you may show me picture if you need me to translate
I'm going to try that method when I get home from work today. The app doesn't work for me and the desktop I was having issues with but resolved those by uninstalling KingRoot then downloading it again . It ran that time but never rooted, must've ran the desktop version close to 10 times with no luck. The program tried to root, it would run for about 5-10 minutes then it would show a pic of a phone with a red X on the screen, no root.
I think this is the problem...I see no green button when Kingroot loads and I've plugged my phone in.

I tried again probably 15 times. Uninstalled,reinstalled,shut down PC several times, it just does not work. I don't know what's going on but I can't get it to root. The desktop version gets to about 60% every time before saying no root. Once again a no go but I am curious to see if anyone else is still being successful at it. I almost thought that maybe Kingroot took down the root for the S4 for some reason, not sure why they'd do that but its a possibility I guess.
Kingroot worked for me...

i got my S4 like 2 months ago with of course lollipop 5.0.1 installed and I had to try rooting via Kingroot several times before the root was successful except now i soft-bricked de-rooting to install an update. I believe i read somewhere to keep trying and it eventually works, i used the PC version of Kingroot. Good luck

Initially I was having the same issue while using KingRoot. This was what I did to make it work:
1. Uninstall KingRoot, restart your computer
2. Re-download kingroot from kingroot.net, choose " [windows logo] 下载电脑版本 "
3. Install KingRoot, run it
4. Turn on I545 usb debugging, plug in to your computer and you will see kingroot is running.
5. After loading you will see some chinese words 尚未Root。。。。。 or 发现新的root档案 。。。。 etc, click on the green button to start rooting and you will get it done.
6. I successfully have done more than 300pc I545 yesterday, however, sometimes if it keeps on loading without rooting what you need to do is to restart your computer and re-do it again
I can understand chinese, you may show me picture if you need me to translate

Hi, I'm having issues with step 5. There isn't any green button that comes up. The first time I run the kingroot after reinstalling it, it shows just a blue button after thinking for several seconds.

After clicking the blue button, it goes to this screen: i.imgur.com/wScf2TT.png
There's a checkmark there, but my phone is not rooted. It did install KrHelper4Pc to my phone though.
Subsequent runs of kingroot (without reinstalling) show this after thinking for several seconds: i.imgur.com/HVmqOLm.png
I've tried this several times and the exact same thing happens each time.
