Kingo-ROOT

[franco.g777]

I have installed Kingo-Root to root my Android tablet. As many others out there, i want to be free from the Google Jail. Kingo-ROOT has installed a s|hit load apps on my tablet in the background, some of which i am not bale to uninstall. Avoid this software at all costs when trying to root into your android device.

Good advice,from what I remember you have to remove Kingo to remove the other bundleware nonsense. One of my phones would only root using Kingo so you can use it to root,then put another rooting app in it's stead and remove it

Thanks. I have installed this on my laptop. With this, it also installed software on my machine, but i was lucky enough to stop it and remove it together with the registries.

Which software would you advise to use for rooting my tablet? Also, should I use software from my android or install it on my machine again?

Unfortunately that question depends on the handset model and the user's technical proficiency

1Click apps are scarce and have limited use,I did find Towelroot to be a decent one for the PC

Personally I flash custom recoveries and the SU packages directly from recovery mode if the phone is capable

Thank you. Your info is much appreciated. Hope this will help other too.

Install it on the tablet you want to root. Haven't seen much bloatware - you just install > root > uninstall anyway. More FUD.

Have a look at Magisk as well.

Kingo is serious malware. Once infected it's a bitch to remove. Read XDA forum if you want to root a device.

How do I root my phone? I am using Kingo. It fails at 98%. Tried unlocking bootloader but that didn't work... J2 Samsung. Jailbreaking iOS is easier than this kark. Just need to extract a stupid bloody key meh... If I watch one more fekking indian mumbling schit on youtube I am going to burn stuff down. Please assist

I might be wrong but just replacing the bootloader might be your best route. Easiest way to do that it to is install the latest version of twrp for your phone using Odin and then installing a root manager like magisk.

Also look at Fanies thread he gives a very good step by step instruction to root a Samsung. I think it'd be under the android section.
Sony's are the most difficult to root Sammy's done in 2 minutes.

Still not sure why XDA doesn't lock/remove the thread.
