Hi.
So here's the issue. I was trying to root my Fire 3 LTE, and the root failed after hitting 90%. I was using Kingo Root. I thought that well, the root failed so I'll try again later when a surefire method is available. But now whenever I try running an app that requires my devices to be unrooted, it doesn't work. I've tried rom flashing, but wasn't able to find any official link to firmware. Factory reset didn't work either. Is there any way I can manually remove the root and reset my phone? Any and all help will be appreciated.
PS it's running Android 6 Marshmallow.

Hey all, anyone try using Kingo on android 4.4.2? I tried using it to root my phone and I get this error: Stop! Offline Device. Anyone know how to fix this?
I haven't found anything in Google, nothing on their website (I just emailed them a few days ago) addresses this issue, and the search bar on this site is giving me error messages instead of results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you thought of using towelroot sir?
Yes I was trying to root my note3 N900 with Kingo since it has been declaring that Kingo will not flag the knox counter. In the beginning, It was on its way of rooting. I saw messages keep rolling on Kingo interface saying updating files or downloading things like that. At one stage, it stopped with error message that root was unsuccessful. I tried again but Kingo said not connected. When i checked the phone, it was bootloop. Crap software ever after. I keep connecting my usb and Kingo never detected my device. And to be honest, I was panicked and ran Samsung Kies and Kies didnt detect my device as well. I didnt touch or move a single millimetre while rooting process. Im very sure that I installed Samsung driver properly and have been using Kies for couples of month before and never face driver problem and I just used Kies a few mins before i started to run Kingo. I started to realized Kingo messed up my driver in mid-way of rooting. Since then I just kicked it out from my pc and never looked back at all.

I wanted to see if I could try fixing this first before exploring other options. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look into it if Kingo falls through.

Towelroot is also a KNOX 0x0 rooting procedure that works on a lot of Samsung 2014 devices
I used Kingo on 4.3 and it worked fine, but I thought Kingo wasn't working anymore on later firmware, since it was patched? Towel root works very well, but again the latest firmware is patched against it as well and developer works for Google now, so the way to do it properly is to load newest firmware, then downgrade just official Kernel to version before June 2014 with Odin, root with towelroot and then update just the kernel back to same version as the rest. This will give you root and keep Knox cool at least it did for me.
All,
I need help re-rooting my phone. I had a stock recovery, rooter phone (to remove/ disable bloat). I received an update from TMobile (the version is still 4.4.2, but build is now KOT49I.D80120g. I could not stop it from applying the update and my phone lost root. I'm now unable to find a way to root it again. Towelroot does not work (your device is not supported) and ioroot says it does not work on 4.4.2.
Please help with what could I try.
Thanks a lot in advance.
wondering if you ever found the solution,. i am on that build as well.
even worse is i can't get into download mode to go back to an older version and install a custom recovery.
Hey Guys, I'm brand new to these forums, and to this whole community so bare with me.
Basically I bought my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 phone around the time it came out, and I also had installed root on it via towelroot when Towel Root was first released. I did not update the phone at all for a long period of time and everything was working fine, until one day I was browsing under settings and accidentally tapped the "Software Update" button, then T-mobile auto-pushed an update onto my phone.
This update has caused the root on my phone to not work at all (Deemed useless) So I clicked SU and only a black screen popped up when I tried to open the app, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled it then got a message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU Cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root your device" So I tried to re-root via towelroot method again. It seems the T-mobile update made my phone "Unsupported/Uncompatible" with TowelRoot's obsolete techniques, so now I'm in dire need of help.
My phone tried to push another t-mobile update (This time to upgrade to Lollipop) but it failed after attempting to install it after a reboot. So not only will my phone not update to Lollipop, but I'm not even rooted anymore and am unsure on how to get back rooted, or what to do next since I used rooting as a primary source to store apps on my SD Card. Kind of like i'm stuck in one spot? (Can't update your phone/can't root it the old method)
I'm brand new guys, Please can you break down to me what I should do, in order to obtain root again, and possibly be able to upgrade to Lollipop As well as prevent further pushed T-mobile updates? Here's some info if you need it
S5 Model Number: SM-G900T
Android Version:4.4.2
Kernel Version:3.4.0-262.. etc. (Tell me if you need the full kernel details)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank YOU!
Flash this with ODIN
http://download.chainfire.eu/407/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kltetmo-kltetmo-smg900t.zip
(Will trip KNOX and void warranty)
Or flash a pre-June 2014 KK Kernel, root with Towelroot again, then flash back your current Kernel
Is this the only solution? And also is it the right one? o.o
Can anyone else please give me some feedback on the situation? I want to make sure I do this right, please just a little helps.

Hey I did exactly what you said and it worked I got root back, but I was wondering how to flash back to my current kernel and keep Root?
I have a Note 3 running 5.0 (model # SM-N900W8 ) that I rooted using Kingo Root and then I downloaded Freedom. This caused Google Play and several other apps to stop working so to try and fix this I uninstalled freedom, unrooted and factory reset my device. Turns out this wasn't a very good strategy now I get the error cannot establish reliable connection even though I know I'm connected. So I read that you have to have your phone rooted to fix this but Kingo Root isn't working anymore. If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Reflash the same rom via ODIN.
I've lerked for three days with no success, I did trapkernal just fine but it broke the wifi and any attempt to recover or change the kernal through odin has yielded nothing. I don't know if it's roofted or if I can do anything. I followed the guide exactly but with the wifi slider permanently off I couldn't download checkroot or any rom mannagers. please help, I haven't had any luck flashing anything after flashing trapkernal to it.
I had same issue with a family members phone. The latest security releases aren't fully compatible with trap kernel. I fixed by downloading an older firmware version and rooting
Found a Solution
Hey everyone.. just wanted to chime in and let you know that I ran into this problem as well on my T-Mobile Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T, and after some trial and error, I found a root method that worked.
Ok... My spare phone is a stock Galaxy Core Prime SM-G360T w/ latest stock rom update. I wanted to try my hand at rooting it, so when I attempt to root my Galaxy Note 4, I don't run across any issues...lol
Well on my first attempt on rooting the Core Prime... I got the (custom binary lock by FRP)... reinstalled factory rom, and tried again.
Second attempt... Was the TrapKernal method witch achieved root, but wi-fi and internet was inoperable.... reinstall stock firmware, and try again...lol
Third attempt.... was just install TWRP & SuperSu, and again achieved root, but when booted in recovery, the screen wasn't responsive....so reinstall stock firmware, and try again...lol
Fourth attempt... I used the CF-Root method, and finally achieved good root, on my Core Prime, and no issues so far.
Anyone have firm for this flushable in twrp as all i can do as boots twrp all the time that's it and system gone too
just do a google search for it... it's been out long enough that it's easy to come by.
