Hi,
It's my first post on this forum so excuse me if I didn't post into the best section..
I work on a VAB-820 development board powered by Freescale. I installed Android 4.4.2 on it and I need to root the system to run some applications who needs su rights.
I tried to follow steps to steps to include su in my build image but nothing was very concluent.
All apps like framaroot, towelroot & co don't work for my board.
I would like to know if anyone could help me giving root access to my system, using a special tool after installing stock android or by compiling it from sources.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help of tips you could give to me and sorry my bad english...
Solution !
Hi,
I finally found a solution to my problem.
I made a little script to include root binaries after installing a stock Android build.
You can run this script via the console from serial port.
You can download it from the link below.
Enjoy !:laugh:
I got this phone today and it did an OTA update. I'm now on 5.1.1. Is it possible to root this phone? I'm don't think Kingroot will work and not sure I want to use it anyway.

If you root you won't be able to install updates anymore
You can root with Droid tool or King root 4.0
If you know how to, do a 100% backup with SP Flash tool
Before you try anything.
Thanks. I read on the Kingroot thread that its not working on 5.1.1. I'm a superuser kinda guy anyway, and not sure I want to use Kingroot. I'll google Droid tool to see how it works.

I can confirm kingroot works.
infinix hot 2 5.1.1
I have the same problem with the same device and king root keeps failing any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've tried the OTA and pc versions.
The update with the November security patch can't be rooted for now. I have tried all rooting softwares I know of (apks & PC) and none worked. perhaps a little more patience?
if you wish to root,
flash twrp
flash superuser zip
I'm presently rooted on 11-03 build
Hello,
I'm buying much devices, test it and sell it.
But I like the zuk z1 very much (SOT is awesome)
So I search for a possibility to root the device,
Without going to the pc (adb method or smth) or just lazy like me.
Setup:
New z1 / 3AJ Firmware
Download kingroot Click me
Guide:
Download kingroot and open it,
Follow the instructions. U should be rooted.
Proof in the attachment, I hope it works for u all.
Bugs:
Some apps doesn't work. Better battery stats is one who don't work.
Edit:
BBS worked! , need two reboots to get it to work.
Maybe more, report if u try this method.
Just wait for CyanogenMod, no MS-Apps, no Bing, no 1 million Google Apps, Root just one click...
Hm.
U can freeze or de-install all that ****ty apps. ^^
Won't rooting stop the software updates which it clearly needs? That's what's stopping me atm
You can also get Supersume at the plays store to get rid of KingRoot, and put in CF Supersu.

Don't waste your money on Supersume, just follow these instructions to replace Kingroot with supersu:

I recall seeing that link a while back, but I could not find it, but I heard about Supersume, so I went that route instead.
I have ordered my Zuk Z1 on Thursday. I hope it will arrive until Tuesday. So I'm orientating already about how to root and so on. I don't see why you should root with Kingroot as you don't get updates from Cyanogen anymore when you have rooted the phone. It's a lot easier to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and than flash SuperSu in my opinion, isn't it? Or do I miss something?
As far as I know, the problem is not Kingroot, but rather that in process of rooting the system partition is changed to read and write (r/w). Now every time the ota update script is running, they check if the that is the case and if so won't install the ota.
Just btw. I read in an other post here, that SuperSU replaces some files and that even if you should unroot, they still change them back, which also prohibits the OTA update script from running.
Which ever way you root and whatever recovery you have installed, you can still sideload the the updates, without loosing any of your data.
Download the "...ham-signed.zip" from this link
Here is the link to the post about the OTA files:

And give Breadcrust and Radii a thanks next time you see one of their posts
P.S.: I have no clue of any of these things/ I am in no way a developer, it's just what I have found out so far, what it comes down to...

Hey , I just bought a zuk z1 and would like to root it with the application you have reffered (kingroot) but when I start kingroot it says that there is no way of rooting this model right now .
Can u please give any other app to root zuk z1 without PC or tell me if there is any system update if any ??.
I would really appreciate it ???
My name is Vishnu am from Thrissur my device is Lenovo zuk z1. I cannot root my phone
Please help me guys. My android version 5.1.1. ???
current software 4.4.2 what's the best way to update to update the software to latest new to root
What phone model? G800F, G800H, etc?
Most versions have official Lollipop from Samsung, you can update it using OTA, no root needed and it won't trip Knox warranty. If your model doesn't have a version for your particular country then you can use Odin to flash a compatible version (same model, another country) and it should keep your warranty.
If you want Marshmallow then there is no official version yet. You can get a custom ROM, then you will need TWRP either using Odin or rooting first.
Thanks for the reply ! I'm a idiot ... I have an s4 mini lol

If you meant GT-i9195 or anything other than G800-something then probably you're in the wrong forum, you will get better help in the appropriate forum for your device.
Secondly, if you've used KingRoot then either stick to KingUser app (SuperSU won't work) or you need to replace it completely either using an app or some script, both don't work always...

Can someone please help me root my A6 running android 9. I don't have access to a PC but would really like to root my device. Any help would be appreciated
Most of the time, you need a PC to root your device. I dont think that app like kingroot can root your phone.
It isn't possible to root phone without pc nowadays.
Rooting apps are using security exploits that are fixed today.
