KingRoot ANDROID ROOT TOOL

"Kingo" includes a series of system debugging software for Android devices, including Kingo Android Root, Kingo APK Root and Kingo SuperUser.It is designed to help Android users to root their devices, i.e. gain superuser access (also see Android Rooting).

Kingo was initially released in 2013 and offers rooting methods for a large number of Android devices from different manufacturers including Samsung, Google, HTC, Sony, ZTE, Lenovo, etc. In terms of Android versions, it supports Android versions from 1.5 to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Free utility KingoRoot makes it a snap to take total control of just about any Android smartphone. Here's how to use it.Rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved apps, deleted unwanted bloatware, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize anything and so on.

Of course, for the average user, this sounds like -- and can be -- a scary process. After all, "rooting" around in your smartphone's core software might seem like a recipe for disaster. One wrong move and you could end up with bricked handset.

Thankfully, there's a utility that makes rooting a one-click affair: KingoRoot. It's free and it works -- though not with all devices.

I originally tested Kingo on a Virgin Mobile Supreme and Asus Nexus 7; the process proved quick and easy. More recently, I used it to root a OnePlus One, and this time it was even easier -- because an app did all the work.

The app version

The easiest way to use KingoRoot is to install the app version, which literally performs the root process with just one tap.

In fact, the only complicated part is actually getting that app onto your Android device. That's because it's not available in the Google Play Store; instead, you must download the KingoRoot APK and manually install it.Ideally, you'll just point your device's mobile to the KingoRoot Android page and download it directly. If that doesn't work for some reason, or you're working from your PC, download the APK and email it to yourself as an attachment. Then, on your device, open that e-mail and download that attachment.

To install it, however, you'll need to make sure your device is set to allow apps from unknown sources. In most versions of Android, that goes like this: Head to Settings, tap Security, scroll down to Unknown Sources and toggle the switch to the on position.

Now you can install KingoRoot. Then run the app, tap One Click Root, and cross your fingers. If all goes well, your device should be rooted within about 60 seconds. (On my aforementioned Galaxy S6, the process made it to 90 percent, then the phone crashed and rebooted. Luckily, no harm done.)
