Is kingo safe to use at the moment ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, was just wondering if kingo with new updates is safe to use now, or it still steals our IMEI (and potentionaly EFS folder )? I can't find information anywhere.

Kingoroot no is supported by XDA. Write a message/mail to the creator :highfive:
EDIT: Anyway take a look: HERE

Thanks for that, I have seen that already, but I don't know if it works with MKF?

Am I at risk?
Hi,
I used kingoroot before I even knew it was a threat. I was wondering if it continually causes a threat even after the rooting process is finished, If there is anything that can be done about the data already transferred, and if I should unroot and try a different method. If so, which one? Basically how much at risk am I right now? Thank you

Rooting

Good Night guys,
First, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm new here. I want to root my LG Optimus L3 II e435f dual, 'cause, just like any Linux user, I need freedom... well, I've been trying two ways:
First One:
Software: Kingo Root Android 1.2.2
It fails in the end, saying "NeedRoot" as error message. I've tried even shutdown de antivirus, but didn't work
I think I did everything ok, but I can't understand
Second:
Software: framaroot
In framaroot 1.4.1, any exploit gives me this message: "Faile ... Try other exploit if available". In 1.6.0 or above, the program crashes with SuperSU and Gandalf, and gives the same message in other configurations.
Also, I've tried with unlockroot one-click-"something", but nothing
Please, help me understande this issue. Thanks for the help
Need 2 more details

[Q] SM-T530NU not full root help

It's the 10.1 inch
I just rooted my tablet today and gained su.
I can give apps su. I get the give su prompt box.
I used the Odin method from this site by chainfire.
Now I managed to kill knox. I closed and un-installed all 6 knox stuff with titanium backup. I did create a back up file for all of them but I don't think you can restore them.
I need busy box for some of my root apps to function because I need the killall.
For some reason busy box gets error message saying there might be a problem with my root.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the SM-T530NU rooted using the Odin/chainfire method (I assume you're referring to the Play Store busybox app). The problem went away for me when I installed and ran Root Browser, which installs components of busybox on its own. After installing and running root browser once (follow the setup prompts), and then rebooting the tablet, I was able to run the original busybox installer app with no issues. No idea if this'll work for you but since it was the exact same set of circumstances, hopefully it will.
With custom recoveries available, cf autorooot isn't really needed.
At some point you are going to trip knox. But if you have successfully disabled knox, go ahead and flash
a custom recovery. Then flash chainfire's latest supersu update zip. Then find your busybkox install via market
or a custom binary.
If custom binary, push it to /system/xbin, then open terminal and su, then
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
reboot

Settings > General > About Device tell me your Model number (e.g. mine is SM-T530NU) and I can tell you if it can be rooted. IF AND ONLY IF you have the same model number as mine, SM-T530NU (and by extension the one in the OP, the one in the title) this method will root your tablet BUT it will also trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If your model number is at all different do not use that link it could very well brick your device. Just tell me your model number, good chance there's a way to root it
Will someone please help me with this? Why can't I install busybox?

SM-T530NU is mine. That's what you needed right?
Now will I be able to unroot my device to play a game that won't run if I'm rooted?
Or is there a way I can run it and still keep my root?
I used the chainfires way of rooting and I just did the superuser unroot.
I went to the Samsung website and got the stock file for my device which is like 1.2 or so gb.
Can I put that back on my device and then wouldn't I be completely unrooted?
Also I used titanium backup to remove all the knox files while I had root.
Will this be a problem when I flash over my Samsung file I downloaded from the Samsung site?
I want to have full root but still be able to play this game ragnarok. Can it be done? Oh and using that lame hide my root from the Google play store didn't work. I hide the su binary and removed the suapp and it didn't work.

This will root your tablet BUT it will ALSO VOID YOUR WARRANTY
And what about my other questions? Can I hide the fact I have root? How?
What about if I want to unroot it? Will it be fully unrooted? How?
What if after I root it and then unroot it, can I root it another time? How and will it cause problems?
Is there a program like macro touch that I can use without root?
I feel that my questions are very simple and straightforward could someone answer them?
Someone that had actually done it and not just someone that thinks they know what their talking about.

Jesus Christ dude are you illiterate I was providing a link to the other guy to root his tablet. But yes please, get me banned. Sic the internet police on me for all I care. You want your answers questioned? There are two invaluable tools just waiting to help you find your answers. They're called the xda search button, and google. You're a human being living in an age where we have the most immediate access to just about any information imaginable. I have around a dozen devices all rooted using a variety of methods and I am able to install and run any program on any one that I darn well please. If you're really going to tool around and hem and haw about a bunch of apps I don't know that I can help you.
You have the SM-T530NU? Fine, this is a surefire way to root your tablet. HOWEVER, in doing so you will trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If you don't understand that sentence, I revisit my earlier point of READ. Learn on your own, that's what I've done. But stop coming at me with your confrontational language, especially coming from a position of such a persistent insufficiency in knowledge and a lack of the motivation to rectify that shortcoming on your own.

You can unroot in SuperSU. It's an option called "unroot"
Yes it will be unrooted. Or you can just reflash system firmware.
I don't foresee any problems with rooting, unrooting, and then even re-rooting your tablet but even so if problems arose (which they probably wouldn't) there are ways to wipe/reset the tablet.
I don't know what macro touch is. Use google, the play store, xda, etc. to search for apps.
Yes maybe he shouldn't've asked his question here. Don't jump down my throat for answering it. I can read perfectly fine, I do it more than most and have been blessed with 20-15 vision.

3 Read search read.
4 XDA is NOT a tech support site or a customer service desk.
5 You want to mod your device? Cool. You pay the price.
6 Now this POV isn't particularly popular but, I believe Samsung has every right to protect it's warranty. You mod your device, you void your warranty. Fair is fair.
7 There have been numerous responses to your question in this thread which have been far kinder than this one. Try saying thank you.

Can you read anything other than how to register an account? There are stickies that have been out since the beginning of time that details what you can and cannot do, for all phones that have root. Your question is so broad, that a Google search can answer your question. You're also in the wrong forum, and most of your other posts are begging for help/spam.

Bottom line, rooting gives you access to system areas of your phone so you can make changes that you otherwise could not. But you should know that a rooted phone is a greater security risk.

[Unmodified] Pre-rooted firmware for SM-G361F

Hi everyone,
Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.
I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.
You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4
Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.
Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! I tested her out and she is perfectly functional. Much better than that, what was her name? Andro-Woman? Or was it Andro-Man?
She seems like a woman to me.

Pre rooted
Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?
BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1
Build number G361FXXU1AQD1
I can't find it anywhere
I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?
Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.
I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)
So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? )-

I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.
But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.
So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.
Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website
I hope it helps

Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.
And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.
Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...
Hi there,
Will this rooted version work with my phone?
I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.
Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1
Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1
Patch level is 2017-4-01
Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011
I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.
How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?
I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.
I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.
M
Kind regards

thanks for your interest in replying..however it seems that you just replied with rooting method in general and not knowing the real issue about this specific device..
None of this methods works for this device as of the moment.
I think you also do not have the same device as me so it's really hard to provide something that you're unsure of
