okay so I used towelroot, which said it gave me root access, but when ever I go to twrp app to flash the recovery.
never prompts me for root access.
I try and use the app anyways, and it just force closes.
so i tried using just in general anot root app, but nothing works..
so im wondering if I did something wrong or if there is another root method I should be using.
Thanks so much!
build number: FNC1
Download and run Root Checker Basic. It will confirm or deny root. I also install SuperSU which manages app access to root level activities. Give it a try!
Make sure you installed SuperSU and installed the binary

Hi, i have an Xperia ZL with Locked Bootloader and i tested it and it worked, no need to flash anything, just go in your mobile browser to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28tGmPEAKnOeGhkemVTZlAtMk0/view?usp=sharing, download and install the apk and run it, it will do allt he work for you, i have experienced some reboots but some minutes after my phone goes completly stable, it will install a task killer called kingmaster and the root manager called kinguser, you can uninstall kingroot and kingmaster and just need to keep kiguser, super user and super su doesn´t work but with kinguser installed i have completly root acces
UPDATE: In my first post i posted the direct link to download kingroot from its website, but it was downloading different versions and not all of them are working fine, so i uploaded the correcto version to my google drive, it works perfectly, the version 4.0 is in chinese and doesnt work, but version 4.1 is in english and works fine
Can anybody else comment on this ? I've read shady details about kingroot from other threads but some of it may not be up to date.
I think this method doesn't really works, Titanium backup don't get root access by example...
You can indeed get root using this method, but will need to change it to SuperSU before attempting to use Titanium Backup.
I don't recommend it
can I unroot the phone afterward for warranty service?
Why you dont recomed it Oliver?
Dandy, i have been using titanium backup perfectly with this root method, just open king user, revoque the root acces to titanium and open titanium again, it will prompt you for root acces and then it works perfectly
Dlslith, there is no need to change to supersu or super user, i think this cannot be done

Yes, the Kingroot method does work (you need to have internet access). I have used it to root my Z1, but it is generally considered a "Risky" way to root.
If you need it done fast, it will work. Most people recommend taking the longer process of downgrading to an earlier version, using a root tool that installs SuperSU or Superuser, then installing a recover, and finally installing a pre-rooted version of the ROM you want / need.
The reason that king is considered risky is that part of the root process requires you to have web access and the app sends the phone IMEI number to some unknown IP address in china.
Is that all that Kingroot sends? unknown
What can / do they do with the IMEI? unknown
What else does king user do if the root is sending your IMEI number to china? unknow
Use at own risk. I really was having trouble with my Z1 after I tried to install a rom but it was corrupted and I lost the recovery and root.
I used Kingroot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.
groot to get root access, then used the root to install a recover, then did a clean install of the full ROM I wanted.
Does anyone know which exploit kingroot is using to get root access?
Hi,
I tried to root on Lollipop using Kingroot, It installed root, then I tried to switch the Root Manager App to SuperSU, In doing this I uninstaled KingRoot, KingUser and all other apps and tried to update binaries with SuperSU which obviously failed.
Now the problem is such that - KingUser is installed as a system app and also the su binaries are loaded. When i type su command from the Terminal i get the following error:
[-] connect ui: timer expired.
Unable to root with any known technique
I have also tried to do a system reset but kinguser still persisted.
Is there any way to wipe /system clear and flash a ftf to start from a clean slate and try rooting again.
Hey, i'm looking for a way to root my phone, with android marshmallow (6.0.1.)
Just need the root access, dont need to install ROM's.
If there is a way without installing ROM's tell me, please
Thanks
Hi I just wanted to know on how to root my phone Lenovo k5 plus, for i, to use and run my application GameGuardian APK. Thank you.
Use Kingo root
Use Kingo root. I rooted my phone with stock rom very easily. The Kingo root shows unsuccessful but after rebooting, the root checker says rooting done. Then install SuperSU rather than kingo super user. ... it is full of ads.

I just tryied on A6020l36 (brazilian version) and didn't worked.
before this KingRoot was the only way to root just for simple things now i cant root with the toolkit it did install Custom Recovery but with SuperSU it just says root undetected so im not sure on what to do here. I can get kingroot to root but then after i close the app i cant even open it again but somehow kingroot is not installed. i know before i had trouble getting root on this thing but wow
can delete thread went back to slimkat rom triied pacrom but didnt have any google apps
So I have just received a VK700 LG G Pad 10.1 on Verizon.
I tried the root methods available, kingroot (didn't work, stopped at 34%), the "one click root script" (Says it worked, but it doesn't, no SuperSU), tried the guides for doing it manually using "SendCommand.exe" (Can push files, chown them, but when I try to run the .sh files it just gives another line. It doesn't give any output from the .sh file, so it doesn't run...)
I really hate this right now. Has anyone else successfully rooted their LG G Pad VK700 on Verizon with the latest firmware?
Anyone know what I can do?
Found a way:
Downgrade to 22A, update using built in updater to 24A. Root with kingoroot, uninstall KingSuperUser install V2.79 SuperSU, run SuperSU and update binary, reboot and enjoy. 25A and higher cannot be rooted yet, but there really is no reason to.
