On XT1095 - Pure Edition running 5.0 stock, unlocked.
I used ChainFire's autoroot batch (semi-)successfully. SuperSU is updated and prompts normally when apps request access. Problem is that even though they have been given root access, they don't. Root Checker app verifies that my device is rooted.
I have also tried the Multi-Tool which again rooted but same results (then soft bricked when I tried to install custom recovery). I have brought back my device to stock with SolarTran's Guide and tried the whole process over, again nothing seems to work.
Any help would be appreciated.
just updated kingroot and ran it, got root! I couldn't beleave it. checked titanium back up, root was there.
checked root explorer, root was there.
downloaded root checker pro and again root was confirmed!
installed busybox, all good. and super user, couldn't update the binary? (looks like kingroot has its own version of SU and doesn't need anything else)
when I reboot, I lost root, and ran kingroot again, took 3 times to root, but did it. checked everything again, all showed root.
I was able to run TB and backup my apps. I also uninstalled some bloatware.
but every time I reboot, it losses root, and have to run kingroot again.
how can I retain root? but there should be some way to retain the root? I'm guessing it has something to do with where the su files were installed.......Anyone?
how can I install TWRP? OK so I can't install TWRP cause the bootloader is still locked (duhh!)
any help greatly appreciated!
thanks
has anyone else with ATT version been able to rootn with the newest kingroot 4.8.1 ?
could the root files be in the wrong location?
Had same issue with sm-t810, had root, was able to install adaway, but couldnt remove bloatware. Lost root after reboot (crash) of system

I have done it several times. After achieving root with King Root and successfully installing TWRP I chose to remove Kingroot. It worked well but some have said it is a bit uncertain whether or not the developers of Kingroot are monitoring your phone. I used super-sume to remove Kingroot and replace it with Chainfire's SuperSu.

Another method for removal is to do it manually with the following procedure.

I had various problems with either of these methods working until I did the swap without my SD card installed.
Hi, I recently rooted my Z3c using KingRoot. I ten installed custom Rom: SLiM ROM 4.9. Works great, but now I found out Kingroot is very untrustworthy. How do I remove/replace kingroot without loosing root?
I rooted as per these instructions:
whattechsays.com/root-xperia-z2-z3-lollipop
So I have SuperSU installed, but KingRoot does not appear in apps list - so no option to uninstall. I can see kingroot folder in internal memory. Is deleting this sufficient to remove kingroot and any potential back-door?
I am new to rooting, so please explain simply if you can.
Many thanks.
Better remove Kingroot, and unroot all at once. You have Slimrom installed so I'm assuming your bootloader is unlocked so simply flash SuperSu Zip via recovery to get back root.
Kingroot is unreliable and shady when it comes to rooting devices in fact its not even endorsed here in Xda

I already have SuperSU installed already. And when I run rootcheck it says SuperSU has root. I have ' uninstalled' Kingroot, however kingroot folder/files remain on internal memory and I assume it could still be active and hiding it's process?

Came across this thread from Google, but since it doesn't look like you really got an answer, here goes.
When you flashed Slim ROM, you would have replaced the system partition where Kingroot was installed, meaning it is no longer there at all.
The files left on the internal memory would have been written by Kingroot before and can just be deleted.

Oh dear, another Kingroot user stuck, how many warnings about Kingroot need to be posted on the threads before people listen.
Personally, knowing about what Kingroot does and the information it sends to China, I would wipe my phone and start from scratch.
There is a good guide written by bilboa1, which is very easy to follow.
Frenik is right, if you flash a rom, then the system should get wiped also. Just make sure you wipe data as well as dalvik/cache then you might end up with a Slim rom with SuperSU.

I used the version 2.4 and worked like a charm
Although as above... even though i have stepped on the same rake as you... don't use KingsRoot... there probably is a fake copy of my phone somewhere in china thanks to that...

Hi fellas. I write ehre in order to not open a new thread. I recently bought one of this little beasts. I'm running 23.4.A.1.264 (stock in phone), Android 5.1.1. I've succesfully rooted it with king root 4.9.5. I've tried to change it to Supersu without success. I've tried supersu me, the script to remove kingroot to supersu from ver 1.8 to 2.4 and always lose root permissions. Could someone tell me what the f*** I am doing wrong?
None of the methods I have tried is working. SuperSU never gets installed, not showing up on root checker as rooted. I tried both the GUI one and the script one as per instructions but the script version stops at the superSU script and the GUI one says its rooted but never roots. anyone got any tips or newer version of the rooting method?
Just replied to complete this thread, explained this proccess in your other thread. Try to use Kingroot.
