Kingroot Suspicions


Recommended Posts

I've had the error when re rooting that has caused Chrome to stop working. Blank white pages etc.

Now trying in vain to figure out what is wrong with Chrome I've noticed King root wasn't removed from system app. I removed it with root explorer and rebooted. Uninstalled chrome updates etc and it says that an app has crashed... Com.kingroot. I was sure I had removed every trace of it. But its back again in system partition.

So I've got a broken chrome and a suspicious root app I can't get rid of. So unless I can get a repacked stock ROM to fully wipe and flash in recovery I think I may just flash back to stock for now.

Hmm...

I had the same problem, but i use UCBrowser, its better and have Adblock inside the browser.

I fixed the problem rebooting the phone, rooted again then used SuperSume. Sometimes it doesnt work, but try a few times until it does.

Sounds a bit sus, ib haven't removed king root yet because each time I've tried it fails and I get errors.

Sounds like for now it's best to stay stock for a while, were just need a way to get back to it.

Its easy enough to go back to stock I just want a way to root that involves removing every bit of king root or no king root at all.

Guys, I'm struggling to get back to stock. I've flashed the recovery image via flashifly and then the big stock ROM zip from the link paul posted via the recovery update from SD card but it fails each time. Think I may have lost some files from the kingroot to supersume move and have the lost chrome etc that a few are experiencing, any thoughts welcome

That worked for me flashing stock recovery then just using stock recovery to flash the main ROM zip. Hmm?

I lost Chrome after the Kingroot / SuperSuMe process. Everything ok for me after I ran the basic stock rom as update via recovery.

Thanks. Tried again and getting a footer loader, signature failed issue. No idea what I've done! At least all else is working fine and hopefully sometime soon I maybe able to flash stock or a custom ROM via TWRP instead!

I had the same problem as you, chrome not working and kingroot as a system app.  I fixed it by flashing the stock rom, rooting with kingroot, rebooting and then using the process described here. I had to use Terminal Emulator twice before SuperSU took. Then I disabled Kingroot and then uninstalled it using "System app remover (ROOT)" from the play store. Rebooted the phone and kingroot is gone and chrome works.

My chrome still doesn't work and I've tried almost everything.

How about this as a solution... I repack the stock ROM but for TWRP and without the data partition. Then we can kingoroot, flash TWRP, reboot to recovery, reflash stock (without wiping) and flash the supersu zip.

All traces of kingoroot removed...?

That would be perfect I was going to ask if anyone was willing to do this but thought it perhaps a bit long winded.

I've done a backup with Google, formated phone, restored the phone from google backup, rooted with kingroot on sdcard ( it shows a pop-up of where to install, choose sdcard ) installed SuperSUme, run SuperSUme and all KingRoot folders and icon gone.

I've repeated the same method at least 5 times now. Only once i got the chrome issue. Can't pinpoint what actually goes wrong...

I rooted with kingoroot and then used supersume, this broke chrome.

Then I rooted with kingoroot and then used the wolfdroid method to replace the kingoroot apps with supersu. Chome wasn't broke using this method.

Chrome doesn't work.. Chrome sucks. I use UC Browser, faster and with ad block.

It's not the best, but if i do something i want it to work 100% can't settle for anything less, otherwise it just sits in my mind irritating me haha.

For me it's the best. Simple, fast, secure and with adblock, all i need.

Not irritating for me at all, just deactivated Chrome. I hate Chrome on PC, so i wouldn't use it on Phone.

Firefox always haha :)

i meant chrome is not the best. 

even if I never use an app and it doesn't work I can't settle until it does. 

im also a Firefox fan on PC, but Firefox on android is shocking!

Gone back to stock now, see if I can figure this chrome thing out, Well see if it happens again.
