Kingo Root is like one click and you are done. It's that easy.
Once you root your phone using Kingoroot...You can install Safestrap recovery. Which will allow to flash custom rom located in here. But you can't flash kernels using Safetrap since our Bootloader is locked.
Google "TWRP recovery FAQ" (Safestrap is based off TWRP) or something along those lines and it will give you an idea of what you can do with custom recovery.
P.S. You got lot to learn young grasshopper. Start Googling. Trust me, I didn't knew jack about Android until I got my N3, about 2 months back.
Hey guys
I have been trying to root my AT&T note 3 mj5 with kingo but have had no luck. Every time I connect my phone, it says it's an s2 instead of a note 3. I have tried with kies 3 installed and uninstalled, I have deleted every samsung driver from my PC and reinstalled the note 3 drivers. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers from kingos website and from Kies. I am having no luck at all. I have restarted my phone and PC probably 25 times in the process. Every time I try, I also get the pop up on my phone saying something is trying to access my device. It's the little shield icon...not sure if it's Knox or not.
Can anyone help me out?
Edit: after looking here more, I realized I still had lookout running...so that's part of it. So now I have to figure out why it still says s2 in kingo.
If kingo don't work go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48243768 and download rldv.zip
Extract rldv.zip to the root of your internal sdcard Reboot, then once SuperSu installs, Reboot again.

Feature Request: Install Without Root

Yes I have read the FAQ, and I still think this is possible, if you install via custom recovery.
Currently the flashable zip generation requires root access. If there is any way to generate that flashable zip file without root then only a custom recovery would be required to install Xposed, as a custom recovery can write to /system without needing root. Since I am currently installing root only to install Xposed and then immediately removing it I would greatly appreciate an install option that doesn't require me going through the rooting process.
So my request is for the two recovery installation options not require root to generate the zip file. Thank you.
Open recovery, flash ZIP file.
You don't need at all.
That part I know. Once I have the flashable zip file I am fine. However, on my phone I cannot create the flashable zip file without root. It just fails. Hence my request.
Stupid question, but can you install recovery without root?

Yes, some manufacturers include recoveries pre-installed, but those often have restricted functionality.
Also, recovery can be installed on some phones without root with the use of a PC (again, it's brand-dependant).
And finally, a few (too few) manufacturers ship their devices with unlocked bootloader which means you can do anything you want with them.

Yep. I personally have an HTC device and they allow anyone to unlock their bootloader by filling out a form on their website. Once the bootloader is unlocked no root is required to flash a custom recovery. That is how I typically run my device no root but custom recovery. Occasionally, I revert to stock recovery to install a system update. Then I run into this issue where I have to root just to reactivate Xposed, then unroot again. I would much prefer to avoid the root/unroot part of reactivating Xposed.
I'm hoping that since it is only creating the zip file that I am asking about this is a quick and easy change.

In Moto G you can install a custom recovery and mount /system and /data (I need a custom recovery to flash SuperSU.zip), so, I think it's possible.

Not the stock recoveries, installed recoveries. I didn't think you could install TWRP or CWM without root.

Have you heard of flashtool or Odin?
Using flashmode/fastboot you can do more than with root.

I have installed both without root multiple times. Here are a few guides.
Nexus Devices (Note rooting comes after custom recovery is installed.)
General Advice (Note: First option requires root, second two do not.)
In general as long as you can unlock your bootloader no root is required. I have only ever purchased Android devices that let me unlock the bootloader, so I have always gone that route.
Again for my feature request though I just want the flashable zip generation to not require root. That (hopefully minor) change would allow a completely root free use of Xposed. Which would be wonderful for me.
Stock recovery will only flash officially signed packages. If you have a custom recovery, you can easily gain root access. So what point would it serve?

That question makes no more sense to me than a comment that Xposed does nothing more than a custom ROM, and if you can install Xposed you can install a custom ROM so what is the point of Xposed?
However, I will provide a few of my answers to your question pick your favorite.
Requiring root without needing to doesn't serve any point so why require it?
Root is required "because it replaces a file in /system/bin". However, on my phone /system/bin is write protected by the kernel, so root does not grant write access to /system/bin only recovery does, So why is root required to create a zip file that I install via recovery?
I like to be able to run apps that don't work if you are rooted. (DRM protected movies, corporate apps, etc.) so rooting causes me problems, and fully unrooting afterwards is a bit of a pain. (I have had to develop a custom script to do it efficiently.)
So, I just did some more searching and discovered that I'm not the only one who wants this. jurben requested this back in September and even wrote up the code to make it possible.
So, I went ahead and turned it into a Pull Request on GitHub. Hopefully it gets accepted.

Help Rookie - Which Nexus 6 Root Method is Best?

Hello,
So I am still newer to the Android / Modding world (Had my Nexus 6 for about 3 weeks now, first Android phone). The extent of my experience is manual flashing 6.0 to my Nexus 6 and Nexus Player and flashing custom recoveries and boot images. I am a bit confused right now. I seen a post in the XDA News that you can now root 6.0 without modifying /system. I thought that was already the case when rooting the Nexus 6? All you had to do is flash TWRP, flash the modified boot image, and install SuperSU through TWRP. There appears to be two different root methods now. Could someone please clarify what the difference is and which I should go with? Here is the link to the XDA Post from Chainfire on the rooting methods.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
Thank you in advance.
1. unlock your bootloader with fastboot oem unlock
2. fastboot flash twrp recovery
3. flash any marshmallow custom kernel(if on marshmallow) and the latest supersu in your new twrp recovery
4. reboot with root

Thank you for the info but I do know this. I have done this already. I am trying to understand how doing this modifies the system. How does this method differ from the newer method that has been posted? I am trying to learn all I can about Android, Root, etc. I have learned so much already in a very short time. I would like someone to explain the differences in / in the outcome of these two methods. I don't want to be a noob forever here. lol. Thank You.

There is no difference in the outcome. Root merely lets one modify files (root files) that you could not before. It does not put anything else on your device.

there is no other way to root a nexus.
whichever method you choose to root a nexus with, even a root toolkit, they all do it the exact same way.
/system is always modified by root. You need the su binary and scripts to call it in /system. You have to add these files to get root access and adding files counts as a modification. You cannot root any phone without this.

Request for Root on NWS2.170620.003 Security Patch level July 1, 2017

hi,
i am new in these forums,
i searched over the web and also tried many root methods, but none worked.
root method for NXH19X is not working for me i tried multiple times.
the main error i am getting is "unable to mount /system; no such thing found" in TWRP
i also tried multiple Supersu files official ones and unofficial ones as well.
after some research i found out about new file system squashfs FS
then i tried this rom which supports EXT4 File System
here is link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/rom-ext4all-g-watch-r-skin1980-t3589917
but it didnot work out as well,(get boot looped)
so flashed stock rom and now on latest update as told earlier,
so its my request, i need help. if someone please come up with any working method to root latest stock rom and security patches(build number and security patch in title)
why stock rom?
i personally like stock rom and it is working fine for me.
why root?
i have root on my phone (one plus one), i felt like i am unable to use my watch on full potential without root.
and we all like root that's why we are here right
thank you
(i actually don't know the how to write any threads so bear with me please) :fingers-crossed:
This post of mine will work. Tried on many roms and it works.
Some play store apps says i dont have root but I do as the app i use that needs root works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skin1980.buttonremap
So use this procedure :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/nxh19x-boot-img-rooted-t3651039
The problem is that u need a TWRP for squash images which you can find in the mentioned post

hi
i tried your given method,
twrp seems to work fine first time,
but i lost twrp as soon as i boot into system,
some how system replace recovery with default one each time watch booted into android itself,
however i am able to boot into recovery, when tried directly from fast-boot after flashing it,
but still unable to obtain root,
the zip files seems to flash perfectly, but there is no su in app drawer,
thanks for your support, but i think new version makes it harder to gain root,
and i am fine without root i can live without it.
thanks again.

Rooting Honor 8

Hello, I'm very new to rooting, but over the last few days I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out how to root my phone. Last year I used KingRoot on my Galaxy S4, but it inundated my phone with ads and malware stuff, so I've developed an untrust towards these one-click root apps. I also read how that Android 5.0+ can't be rooted with these one click programs anymore. So I searched up how to root Honor 8, with one of the coming up being on this site. I followed the steps (as confusing as they were), and ended up unlocking my bootloader, flashing TWRP and SuperSU. Now, the reason why I want to root is to use GameGuardian to mess around with some games. The title of the post on how to root the Honor 8 said, [Guide] Unlock Bootloader // Install TWRP // Root - one of these being root, but not once in the actual post do they actually specify when the root happens. I've completed the process, tried to run GameGuardian, and I still can't use it. I downloaded a root checker and it says that my phone isn't rooted. (Heres the link to the guide btw: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-tested-root-t3443946) So now I'm very frustrated as to how to root my phone, cos ik rooting can mean many things - including unlocking bootloader and all that with the TWRP custom recoveries and SuperSU, but all I want is a permissions root to let me get run GameGuardian..... Please someone help. I've looked high and low and I'm at a loss.

Flashing SuperSU on an unlocked device should yield the desired outcome if properly performed. Suggest you reflash the latest SuperSU build (at present 2.82 SR5) which can be obtained from here.

Didn't say that. I confirmed the procedure should work on a device with an unlocked bootloader caveated with "if properly performed". Recommend retrying with 2.82 SR5.
