[Solved] Replace Kingroot with SuperSU
[Solved] Replace Kingroot with SuperSU
(18-08-2016, 04:23 PM)matybazz(18-08-2016, 12:58 PM)Fingers7606 Hello guys... I'm looking for a way to replace Kingroot with SuperSU. I've tried Supersume and it ruined my device(bootloop).
Is there another way to replace Kingroot, that supports both Android 5.1 and Kingroot 4.9.2? Note that I DO NOT have a custom recovery, so flashing is out of the question.
Thanx in advanced.
Is youe phone properly rooted first?.
Try dowloading supersu from playstore if it installs then you can disable kingroot from app manager
What is your phone model?

To replace kinguser with superuser u will need to
download and extract mrw folder(from the above link) and move it into your internal storage
Open Terminal emulator and type :
Su
Allow root permission
Type :
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually.
Update su binary normal, then reboot.

In the mrw folder replace the superuser.apk file with the SuperSU(apk) file you downloaded from PlayStore and rename the SuperSU to superuser.apk.
Open Terminal emulator
and type :Su
Allow root permission
Type h /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
It might display some error, at the end it will launch supersu or open supersu manually. Update su binary normal. If update fails then wait for a minute or so and update again(Do Not Reboot). If success then you can reboot.
If fails 2nd time then Do Not Reboot, instead open any app(preferably ES Explorer) that requires root and check which root window appears. (i) If Kingroot window appears then go back Terminal and type the "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh" again and then try to update SuperSU binaries.
(ii) If SuperSU grant window opens then go back to SuperSU and update binaries 1 more time(it should be successful this time).
Now you can reboot.
Check root with a Root Checker.
If you still have Kingroot lingering around in your device, then you can safely remove it without losing root.

Check root with a Root Checker(should show root by SuperSU/superuser, not kinguser).
