Kingroot, How dose it work is it just a FAKE? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed Kingroot on my Retail note 4. Root Checker says I have root but it dose not function as if it has root.
For Example: If I first install the app called "App Backup & Restore' on my Chainfire rooted DE note 4 on the first run the app prompts me to change the directory of the backup to my external SD Card.
But when I first install the app "App Backup & Restore" on my Kingroot rooted Retail note 4 on first run the app warns "Risk of Backup files and wont allow me to change the directory to my ext SD Card.
Most applications I have tested with Chainfires root make changes to the system after reboot. With Kingroot when you reboot you lose root.
Anybody get Kingroot to function properly as if you are really rooted?

King Root is only temporary. There is no permanent root for the Retail VZW Note 4. Supposedly they're still working on it though so don't give up.

temp can get root

there is a way to get temporary root permissions with stock rom and S-ON to run Titanium Backup ????????????
On WFS i dont think so. Temp root was achieved only on HTC Sensation by alpharev
So there is no way to get up because I wanted to put it in titanium S-OFF and maybe some cooked rom
No there is no way. XTC clip is the only way.
So I have no way to save all the apps I installed?
Mybackup pro can do it.
does not require root permissions?
Without root access MyBackup Pro would backup only the .apk files (your installed apps).
With root it would backup your apps + their data (settings, etc.)
ok but saves only the apk app I have installed or related data of the application?
It just saves the apk. It cant save the app data so if you restore your apps it will all be fresh.

[Q] R800X zergRush rooted but not really rooted?

Strange stuff. Just rooted my R800X via zergRush but when I try to remove stock apps, I keep getting "Uninstall not successful". The root process completed successfully and Superuser and BusyBox were installed. Not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas?

You still can't uninstall system apps from the stock launcher. you have to use apps like Titanium Backup or Root Uninstaller.
when i dump system apps on my evo 4g i use root explorer &
use root explorer-go to system folder then.... Switch root explorer into r/w (read/write) mode button on top right.
Sounds like your in r/o (read only) mode.
To make sure you have root,

(Root check on android market, very useful app)
Try Bloat Freezer from the market. Thats what I'm using.
Edit: its the free one

[Q] Bloatware keeps installing

Hi,
I have used WinDroid Toolkit to unlock, flash TWRP and root the HTC Desire 820u which worked fine. I then installed System App Remover (ROOT) which I have used on all my past phones.
I have removed all Chinese apps including AppMarket & Hidi, but when I restart the phone the apps are all back. I've also tried to remove HTC Blinkfeed as I use Nova so have no use for it and then same thing happens. It appears to be removed, but on restarting the phone, it's back?
Is there anyway I can remove these without them coming back?

how about trying this?: use a root file manager to rename all the unnecessary files (apk & odex) in /system/app and /system/priv-app. and, if the phone reboots and works fine, delete the renamed files altogether.
that's what i've done on my past phones (once i got root access and custom recovery) - with a full nandroid backup and backups of all data and apps+data at hand, of course.
fyi, i used online nandroid backup script, mybackup pro app and es file explorer app for these tasks.
Hello.... I'm using HTC desire 820 device which is unlocked and rooted too. I want to remove preinstalled apps from my device for free up some memories. When I try to uninstall the unwanted apps with the help of ES FILE EXPLORER or TITANIUM BACKUP, I'm getting​ that uninstalled successful. But, they are there again after rebooting the device......
Please suggest me to do uninstall permanently......

Marshmallow M with SuperSU 2.65

S-0ff M9, took OTA yesterday. Installed TWRP3001, then SuperSU 2.64. Got SuperSU Pro from Play Store. Updated everything.
Everything works fine, Root Explorer and Titanium both get superuser permissions OK.
Deleting bloat apps with Titanium proceeds with no errors or issues.
Upon restart, any programs removed by Titanium return, as if never deleted.
Reset root for Titanium in SuperSU and restarted with no improvement.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried with root explorer, that's my go-to for deleting apps. Check in system/app+priv-app and data/app

I've seen this before when rooting the stock ROM. If I'm remembering correctly, for whatever reason, running the kit-kat sd fix apk (search market) to provide rw access to the sd fixes this. Run this-- then download ES Explorer, check the root access box, then add a random file (can be deleted after) to both the ext and internal sd (it puts you through a protocol that mounts both rw).
The other thing I remember doing is going into the actual apps dialogue and uninstalling "updates" on the bloatware apps (the ones that don't give you the option to simply uninstall), then returning to TiBu and uninstalling the same (underlying) apps from there-- essentially removing the ROM version of the app as well as the "*-1" version of the app.
*I'm fairly sure one of these steps fixes it, but will respond again if anything else hits me
EDIT: Make sure that you tell twrp to modify the system-image too-- should prompt you with a check box (if you haven't done this already)

Apps not uninstalling after root

as
if you want to replace kingroot with supersu,
download kingroot & supersu from this thread... check that threads attachment for links..
Read that thread carefully... & uninstall current kingroot or reinstall this new downloaded kingroot..
& only follow all steps of kingroot replacement with supersu...
reboot your device once before following his steps!
OR
if you only want to uninstall any apps.. download & grant root access to System app remover (ROOT) & remove apps you want to remove.... also check & empty that app's recyclebin..

Hey y'all,
I rooted my phone with Kingroot and I was trying to get SuperSU on it. I tried a ton of different methods like SuperSU Me but it didn't end up working so I settled on Kingroot.
I was trying to uninstall Google Apps I don't use with Titanium Backup but every time I try, it just doesn't remove itself. I tried using Kingroot's version to remove the apps but that didn't end up working either.
I know my root works because I can use Root Checker and terminal emulator to 'su'.
Any suggestions would help!

You may have a partition mounting error.
If you have twrp recovery then goto the mount section and make sure system and data can be mounted. If yes then it may be a permission for R/W access for system.
I had all kinds of issues getting permission to write to /system.
You need to start by getting rid of King root. I used it to root initially also but swapped to super su. I also installed busybox the app. If the app can install the busybox tools then you should be good to go.
Also check a root file manager for the ability to mount "root file system"
If you have a terminal app then you can check your partitions permissions my typing 'su' then 'mount'. The mount will display the current state of all partitions without making any changes.
