I rooted my phone using Kingo. It has been perfect. It appears to be totally fine. I get up this morning and find the below comment and closed thread. Do we need to undo root and flash back to stock? Someone please help with this situation. I'm sure a bunch of people did this and would like to know what we should do now. Thanks Devs.
Kingo and vroot have been determined to be malware and unsafe for use, as such all threads will be closed and links removed.
Thank you

This thread would be more helpful if it had an informative subject line, such as "What to do about Kingo malware?". The subject you provided ("What should we do now?") gives readers no clue what the thread is about.
Anyway, does anyone know how the malware determination was made, and by whom? Does the purported malware afflict the PC that runs the software, the phone that gets rooted, or both?
Also, I notice that the locked Kingo thread in the dev forum only mentions the malware determination in the last post of the thread. Anyone who just reads the initial post, or who doesn't read all the way to the end, will still think the software has been confirmed ok. (I know the download link in the initial post has been removed, but that has little effect since the software is trivially Googled.)

Looking at it now, I agree with the subject line needing to be a little better.
I was just told by a MOD the following. >
So now that I already have Kingo, what do you think I should do ? Keep it, our undo it? Please let me know, because I dont see anything wrong with it. Phone is working great.
MOD Get rid of it, it steals your information and sends it to remote servers and leaves back doors on your device and pc
MOD Correction, it's thought to do these things
Okay, I will undo it......When I plug my phone back up to PC and run Kingo, it has an Unroot option. Should I do it that way? Or should I look for STOCK files that came with the phone and us Odin to flash it? Thanks for your time.
MOD Stock, don't use the app anymore
If it's really malware (I don't know how that determination was made), any passwords, credit-card or bank-account numbers, etc. on your PC or your phone may have been exposed and should be changed now. Your PC and your phone may need to be disinfected, preferably by clean-installing a known-good system.
Just for future reference, when a company with no known track record offers free, unvetted, closed-source software, it's risky to install it on any system whose integrity you care about. That's especially the case when they claim to be a commercial venture but they say that their product will always be free, and there's no apparent way for them to profit from it.
I still don't know what evidence, if any, shows that this software is malicious. But it seemed blatantly suspicious from the beginning, so I've refrained from installing it.

Well lets see here. The Devs and Moderators do a lot here at XDA. We trust them, and we do things to our phones.
Why wouldn't we trust what they say about certain methods? Threads and links being closed. I'm just saying...
Now I really want to make my phone go back to how it was when I bought it.
If there is anybody that's done it, I would love to know how.
It would be great if I could just use Odin with a file and not trip anything and go back. Please help me/others if this is possible.
Im sick to my stomach now. I knew I should of waited. **** !!!

So far, no dev or mod has claimed here to have specific evidence that the software in question is malicious.
Sure, there's reason to be suspicious. But that was already obvious just from looking at the Kingo website.

I don't know what to do. I have been rooting and modding phones and other electronics for years and now I feel like it's just not worth it. I trusted XDA and the Devs a lot. Heck a dev said that this way was easier and closed an old thread. So I ran with it and now 2 days later it's closed as well. I'm disappointed

I think you need to look more closely at what it means to trust someone.
I do trust the devs here regarding the integrity of their own software, because their track record gives me evidence that they're trustworthy in that regard. I've flashed ROMs from here many times.
But I don't trust the devs--or anyone in the world--in the sense of automatically believing what they say about everything. I'm sure they wouldn't expect me to.
So if a dev makes an offhand remark that someone else's software (that they have no way of examining) is safe, then of course I'm not going to just take their word for it. And if they make an equally offhand remark that the software is malicious--but fail to mention why they think so--then I'm not going to automatically believe that, either.

Why don't you reroot using De La Vega by DG? Although his method will wipe your phone back to stock but at least you know it works and it's safe.

I think your course of action depends on how much you have at risk. Do you have sensitive/valuable passwords, account numbers, etc. on your phone or your PC?
If you don't, then you might want to just ignore the risk until and unless someone establishes that Kingo is really malware.
But if you do have sensitive information at risk, your decision is trickier. The only really secure course of action would be to wipe both your phone and your PC, and to reset all your potentially-exposed passwords and financial accounts. But that's a lot of work to go to for a threat that might not even exist. So it really depends on what you have at stake.
In any case, I wish you the best of luck!
If all it does is send info to their servers I ponder if I could just start it under a virtual machine with no internet connection and root.
is the internet connection required?
I would much rather flash two second than a 2 gig file it just sounds alot riskier

I was thinking this as well but if the application leaves a back door open on the device itself then unless you plan on having your phone in Airplane mode 24/7 it would eventually send its payload over the wire.
I think the PC portion is controllable, its the mobile portion that has a lot of people on edge.
I found this website:
www[dot]majorgeeks.com/files/details/kingo_android_root[dot]html
Which seems to have links back into XDA about who made the claim and what not.
I see it like this, until someone can prove without a doubt that it is opening holes in devices and leaking information, its just another "he-said-she-said" argument.

Or someone is mad because they didn't come up with a root solution like this first, LOL just saying.
I tried the Vroot first, and it had a superuser app (from playstore) but its all in Chinese letters.
So I uninstalled that super user app and used Kingo to unroot (Which works perfectly)
Then I rebooted and rooted using Kingo. (Worked perfectly)
It put the superSU on there (In English) and has been awesome
Now Im going back to stock and never rooting again in my life because it pisses me off I can't trust ...Never mind
I will be using Vega method soon as I get home and Im done. This sucks. Battery life will also suck. Aw well. At least my info will be protected
I guess. Kingo,,,I wish they wouldn't of said that about you. Now I want you gone.
I've contacted Kingo on their website and asked them to comment, hopefully they will respond to the possibility of their app being permanently declared malware on the largest Android forum on the net. We'll see what they have to say about it, if anything.
Response from Kingo.

Im back on stock and honestly, the phone fly's better.
I also have the watch so I'm going to wait for a new root method on new updated firmware.
This phone feels better and I got a better AnTUTU score without root.

Root De La Vega works fine. Yes it does take a little more work and you have to wipe data but I've rooted/unrooted/rooted again and I've had no issues using DesignGear's method. DesignGear's is a great Dev...I don't think him telling people to use Kingo should change that opinion. Kingo seemed really, really weird to me from the beginning...but it does root the phone!

From the looks of the article, it seems that the guy who has the solution has trouble writing English. Either way, it's a good thing developers are resolving this.
Clicking that link renders the "invalid forum specified" error.I truly hope this mahmoud007 fellow's theory proves valid and his method works. I just scolded him for cross-posting a hypothetical solution for the S4 i9505 because the reason he cited for not wanting to test his own creation was that he was still under his Manufacturer's Warranty. After I clarified that the KNOX Warranty bit was unrelated to Samsung's service warranty, and asked why he felt it appropriate to request others risk permanently altering their own devices using a method he created and wasn't confident enough to test out on his own, each and every copy of the cross-post vanished within minutes. With luck, some admin wiped them out so his work couldn't be plagiarized before the applicable bounty could be announced.
Good luck, mahmoud. Here's to hoping XDA's senior developers are working with you at this very moment and that you've made history by cracking KNOX.

My small team made a decision. We are finnaly creating our own custom ROM and it will be called Android Open Source Dark Project( based on AOSP as how name suggests), and for sure it will have official support for this device and P8Lite 2017, and many other. Currently we are recruiting members since we are too few to make a ROM by ourselves.
News: ROM Development has officially started.
I will not leak too much features now but first version will be based on nougat Oreo, will have a full, true dark mode and will be blazingly fast. The rest you'll find out when we'll release it.
If you think you have all what we need and you want to work with us, here is a form where you can apply freely: Android Open Source Dark Project Application
Estimated release date: November 2018
Best Regards,
Anyone who wants to find out the latest news about the ROM join the Telegram group: Android Open Source Dark Project Telegram
suport for chc—u01?

Here a beta tester for you. I own P8 Lite 2015 and I am using now other phone as a daily driver so I can do tests without problems and provide logcats.
Luck anyway
Hope you and your team may add hardware nav button mapper(like on aospa and dot os)
Good luck ?

My only question is.... Why? Aren't here already 10+ roms, 100+ garbage custom ones with 0 support? Why you need to make 1 more? How will this help us or anyone? Why not just sending patches and commits to other custom roms and use those, or join them?

Okay. You want a public explosion? Here's a public explosion.
First of all, the beef isn't with you, so you should've stayed quiet because it has nothing to do whatsoever. Until now.
You are a great dev, and you did indeed help me a lot when I was a begginer in Kirin development, but that was a month ago when I didn't know anything. And as much as you help and as much as I like your work, you need to make up your mind. May I ask how many times have you left Kirin development then came back? Is that how it works for you? Why can't you try and develop for both of your devices? You also claimed you got DU Oreo working with everything except til, why didn't you publish a beta? And why did you delete most of your sources? You do realize that kernel sources need to be availible publicly for roms to stay on XDA right?
As for the other guy I asked him ONCE for help, and he didn't even reply, so I can't say he helped, I still figured it out on my own. But that guy that you trust so much and protect like he's your son, is the same guy who dmd me a few weeks ago asking me to build lineage for him to publish on XDA.
So stop. Both of you aren't powerful and mighty, and neither am I. This has nothing to do with you, it's between me and the other guy (who asked me to dm him on telegram then blocked me lol), not between you and me. The fact that he even asked you for your help just shows he needs his buddies to go and step up for him because he can't do it himself.
Was this supposed to be a public beef? No. But it seems like it's what you wanted, so here's a favor for you.
P.S how the living hell is it immature to ask for help when you don't know something?
This is all that I am going to say, and I have no more ****s to give about this. I like who I like and don't who I don't. I don't like the other guy, so what?

I have some of my personal points to say:
1. This is not the place for fights here. If you all fight like some children, well find another place since this is not the good one.
2. Everybody has the right to a opinion and if we think your ROM is crappy this is how it's going to be. In life you won't find anywhere happy guys which will like everything.
3. You should't complain at all since ~1 hour ago you came into our pubilc AOSDP group and started begging my team members to get you in our team. Didn't you say you don't have any time to work even on your ROM? Then why you want to work on another one?
And last, 4. If I was developing EspositoOS I would've considered the AOSDP a threat and not a place to beg team members to get you in the team.
Do not continue your fights here, this is a announcement thread and not a fight club.
Thanks for understanding,
I have used the FH method with success and updated my firmware to 9.0.0.171 global firmware. I have my bootloader unlocked and FRP unlocked too. There is currently no way for me ATM to revert back to my stock Optus 9.0.0.122 firmware so I am now stuck on the global firmware till an update comes for it.
The issues I currently am having on this global firmware is a big delay in the phone connecting when I try to make a phone call. It either cuts out or I have to wait like 20 secs for it to connect to the call and start ringing.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the modem/radio and it being a global region firmware.
The consequence of flashing using the FH method in my opinion would be the lack of firmware support and it being not available to revert back to your original stock firmware.
The upside is I can now flash stock firmware img files through fastboot when better firmwares become available.
Similar sort of situation.. Did the same via FH method to 171 firmware.. Tried to revert back to at least 146 or 122.. Was on a Lya-l29 9.0.0.126 (AUSC636) Rom.. Have tried revert to earlier firmware via FH with no luck and have also tried via SD method with no luck.
Not having the same radio / modem call issues though.. My only reason for wanting to revert back to earlier rom was due to Google Play Certification not on the 171 rom as yet.
Someone at FH did mention that a modification Server Side End might work but am waiting to hear back on that one.
How is there absolutely no way to downgrade the firmware? Can't it be done in erecovery? What happens if you try, does it just give a error message or brick? I'm having issues as well I was with Optus 122 and went to 171 and I'm having 4g issues it flicks to emergency calls only sometimes.. as well as some of the Huawei apps weren't there when I installed the firmware had to download them all again...
Have tried the Erecovery method but all getting are package not available errors.. Have even tried mixing up preload packages with base packages and tried to flash that way with no luck.. Haven't managed to brick phone thankfully

So Souljasteve and pafc66.. You have an optus branded single Sim model I'm guessing.. Same hardware as the dual Sim but I'd be thinking there would be a different radio/modem img asside base firmware mods that convert it to single Sim.. So theoretical resolution would be to flash a radio / modem img from a single Sim build onto the 171 build as perhaps the 171 global image didn't touch the radio when it was flashed?
Hmm would that modem file be available anywhere and how's that done? Sorry new to this.. used to flashing Samsung roms

Really hope someone from FH can share some light here on not able to downgrade to earlier version.

I agree. I emailed them and they are stating it's not possible at the moment...would of been good to know this before advertising this method. What issues are you having?
All credits to FH tho for establishing the method and making successful, I say now we just need to wait for a higher firmware to come out for your region then we just flash it over 171. I'm having no issues at all ATM on 171 the only issue I would say is battery drain but it's not a big deal of concern to be honest
We've enabled downgrading server-side. It's been tested, but only on EVR-L29 (Mate 20 X) so someone brave will need to try with the Mate 20 Pro. You'll still see C432, but you can downgrade to 9.0.0.122.
Just select the version you want from the LYA-Global section, then do the normal method.
I've said my piece on this in the other thread, the bottom line is without an absolute rock solid way to revert to pure stock everything you tread a very dangerous path. I would go further and say that having done what you did without a method to fall back to stock, I would hope you did so fully understanding the implications. If you did, you don't have the right to complain if your phone explodes in your face, and if you didn't, you are a fool.

So do you know if OTA will function after downgrading back to 122.. Like has this been tested on your EVR-L29?
BTW I'm not ungrateful as you guys do the work and providing a method to upgrade in first place.. I'm happy with 171 but just either need to wait for Google to play certify or downgrade and hope for the best ?

It doesn't do anything to stop OTAs from being received.

Is the C432 firmware designed for single SIM ?
My original firmware was LYA-L09-CUST 9.0.0.122(C34) is that what you meant? Can I just download the LYA-L09-CUST 9.0.0.10(C34)? I'm currently on the global 171 firmware? Whats worse case scenario , brick? Lol

Or wait for the firmware after 171... Probably the best bet really ...

As a "senior member" on XDA why the sudden paranoia over modifying an Android phone? Which is what XDA members have been doing for as long as XDA has been around?
It sounds like you either read a lot of Trump tweets and have an underlying political agenda, work for a Huawei competitor like One Plus or possibly just ran out of meds.
Do you even own a Mate 20 Pro? If not there is no legitimate reason for you to be making any posts in these threads.

Probably just a typical American drinking their Kool aid.
Are you guys for real? You are paying money to unlock your phone, which by itself was something that links to which were banned here not that long ago. It goes against everything XDA stands for. You have no way of reverting back to stock, you are possibly already trapped into a situation where you may never be able to even flash any future builds, and you are very much at the mercy of the people who have already gouged you. Yeah, XDA is all about 'taking risks', but not those risks.
It isn't me warning about Huawei spying, in fact the entire witch hunt is laughable. It isn't even Trump, but by all means throw an Orange Man Bad! grenade in every direction. It is the American media, at the behest of their masters. Look at this 'journalism' as an example:
https://nypost.com/2018/12/22/how-arrest-of-chinese-princess-exposes-regimes-world-domination-plot/
Huawei products *are* getting banned around the world, countries are bowing under the pressure daily. Attack me, though. I must be a 'Trump supporter'? Seriously?
I'm making this post from my Canadian carrier Mate 20 Pro, does that make it okay for me to point out the laughable irony of you guys paying money for a one off hack with zero fallback and then posting about serious issues with carrier handshakes from day one?
This isn't a $200 phone you guys are throwing this dubious hack at. You aren't brave pioneers, leading the charge. No one will be developing full root for a handful of people who paid unethical hackers for a crude jerry-rig on a phone that is heavily dependent on extremely niche localized firmware.
What's next, demands to have the Pixel camera app support the triple Leica's? Hey, I want root/Magisk on my phone more than anyone, but what you guys have done is akin to giving your child to kidnappers and then signing up for a monthly ransom. Don't worry, this will be the last post I make in any thread discussing paid unlocks.

Borderline trolling though surely? Adding nothing to this thread other then paranoid ideation.

Also Huawei products arnt being banned anywhere except U .S nothing happening here in Australia other than we've no longer continued our 5g infrastructure with them.
Hi,
I'm typing this question on my phone using the xda app, so I might have missed a post pertaining to my question. I do realize that the specifications on these particular tablets aren't that great, but I still enjoy using mine. I used an application here in the forum's to disable the amazon app's that I didn't want to utilize. So now my tablet more closely resembles an actual android tablet. I've got the google files app installed on both my tablet and my phone, it really does a decent job of keeping them rid of junk files. Over time though I've noticed that my tablet has slowed down, just like when using the popup keyboard, sometimes it takes a second or two before the desired character to appear. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so were you able to correct it, and if so how ?
Thanks,
David

Hi,
This is the wrong forum for talk about the New Fire 7 2019, instead, use the correct forum please
About your tablet, the described behavior sounds pretty common due the poor hardware and the lack of RAM on that device. I I would try to unlock/root it and install LineageOS 14.1 to see if the performance goes to better... If you don't want to switch to LineageOS, at least fully-uninstall the junk from Amazon with root.
Regards.
Hi Rortiz2,
Sorry about posting in the incorrect forum, if I could contact a moderater, I'd ask them to move my post to the correct forum. Can you please let me know how to contact one ? Also, thanks for taking the time to provide the information I was needing.

Fully concur having owned several generations of Amazon's least expensive gizmos. There are 'tricks' that yield modest improvement (eg: establishing a static swap file; tweaking swappiness) but the most effective generally need root. A factory reset will speed things up for awhile but you'll loose personal data and customizations.

No need to move unless you wish to continue the conversation; responses here are what you'd get in the other sections/threads. There are plenty of existing threads that discuss performance on these low end devices. Most conclude with similar outcomes.
Hi,
Supposedly a forum moderater has already moved my post to the proper forum. Sorry for any inconveniences I might have caused.
