Is there a *simple* rooting guide?

[Guest macbreakweeklyfan]

Hi folks. No one seems to have written a step-by-step, clear guide on how to root the SU6. So... who's going to be first? I read scraps of conversations here and there, but with much ambiguity. So, again... is there any chance of a well written, step by step guide that has been tested without errors and app crashes, please?

Thanks everyone :)

• Install Kingoroot
• Run Kingoroot

Pretty much is as paul said its a single apk to install and run. The complications come when switching to a more err trusted root binary and app.

[Guest PaulOBrien]

To switch to SuperSU...

• Install SuperSUMe from the Play Store
• Run SuperSU Me
• Reboot
• Update binary when prompted

Thank you.

 

Any errors or crashes to report? Paul, the link to SuperSUMe doesn't work.

 

1. Do you REMOVE KingRoot?
2. When do you remove it, if so?

The link works for me. Think the Play Store is a bit flaky this afternoon.

1. SuperSUMe does it.
2. See 1.

How do you go back to stock if you install SuperSuMe and Kingroot is uninstalled?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Always the best way to go back to stock is the stock ROM download.

Pop it on a SD card, boot into recovery, select 'apply update from SDcard' and choose the file and bob's your mum's brother.

Does that wipe your previous install though?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Does that wipe your previous install though?

Yes, that goes completely back to factory box fresh.

If you just want to get rid of SuperSU, use the 'unroot' option in the app.

[Guest macbreakweeklyfan]

So, to clarify, the "KingORoot" app (what a silly name!) does the rooting, then the "Sue me for damages" app removes the "KingORoot" app part, leaving the binaries, and gives you a "normal" SuperSU app?

[Guest NegativeOne]

Yeah thats it.

[Guest neilmasters]

Looks like the developer of SuperSuMe has removed the free version - as of yesterday, only the Pro version is available, priced at 77p. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro

Can somebody re-host the free version apk?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

That might have been a move by Google...

P

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Ah, looks deliberate - XDA topic now links to the paid version.

I haven't got my su6 on me and I think I may have deleted the supersume app, but the method described here replaced kingroot with supersu on my Alcatel pop s3.

It might work on the su6.

[Guest macbreakweeklyfan]

I've still got the APK; here it is:

Kingroot latest version didn't give me root access. It said it did not renaming the boot animation proved it didn't.

[Guest NegativeOne]

If you're renaming it is es file explorer you have to switch root explorer on in the menu up in the top left.

[Guest eLJay]

Cheers my rooting skills are a little rusty.

Last phone I rooted was a g300.

Got king root saying it can't root it now.

I did a root using Kingroot. Then I installed SuperSume. Everything went okay I began SuperSU, but I can not update the binary. Always give me an update failed. I can only give the OK and restart. Any advice?

[Guest PaulOBrien]

Sounds like root may not be working at all, install Root Explorer and browse to /data or use a root checker to verify?

P

[Guest LiNe171]

I've also noticed one thing.. I can't uninstall KingRoot after run SuperSume, i only can deactivate it, it's normal? SuperSu works fine.

[Guest PaulOBrien]

SuperSUMe should remove it itself. Something not right there.
