How to Remove/Replace Kingroot (KingUser) with SuperSu

If you was one of those who root their devices by using KingRoot App and would like to remove kinguser and related files, you can replace it with the well known SuperSU.
I have made a small script to remove Chinese kingruser, all related files and folders, and install SuperSU.
This script will do all the work for you without using PC, just by terminal, first of all, thanks to chainfire for his SuperSU files.

Before starting :
  • Download and install Terminal emulator app
  • Download and unzip "Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip" file
Steps :
  • Send the extracted folder "mrw" to the internal storage of your device and make sure that this folder contains 4 files
  • 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.
Done !
Notes :
  • The extracted folder must be in /Phone/ or you will need to change cmd.
  • This script must work for all devices waiting tester.
  • You might need to update SuperSu after rebooting your device. 
  • Please let me know the model of your device, if it worked for you.
  • Check this post also, How to Remove/Replace Chinese VRoot superuser with SuperSu 
Download :
  • Terminal emulator app LINK
  • Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip LINK a new ver LINK.

    Thanks :) I had installed kingroot, did unroot and uninstall from the app, installed supersu from twrp and it always tried to update the su binary and failed. This script cleaned up all kingroot leftovers and solved my problem.


    My phone is a BQ Aquaris E6 (mediatek cpu, mtk6592)


    thanks again

  3. This isn't working for me :(
    I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note PRO 12.2, Wifi version, (SM-P900) with 4.4.2 the last stock firmware.
    I've tried a lot of methods but always the same:
    Rooting with kingroot works great, then I use your script (see first screen attached with the terminal emulator running) and all seem to work. The supersu opens and I select "normal upgrade". Here is all fine (second screen). Then I reboot and when I open supersu always the same thing (third attached screen).
    But the Chinese root works great even after reboot, why? Could you help me? Do you have any clue for me, please? :)



    Thank you for all and sorry for my poor English.

    Needed to run the script twice. After the first time the script removes part of KingRoot, but SuperSu fails. Just restart and go to Apps, stop KingRoot and run the script again. SuperSu will work.

    Wow! Thank you! I've always been annoyed with KingUser root. These steps and files are about as straightforward as they get.

    I had KR and it always set of my MBAM, saying it was a looder trojan (false positive, of course), and like a few others have mentioned, it wouldn't remove the KR upon installing the script, possibly from the latest KR update.

    It gave the file errors you mentioned, then opened the SuperSU (Pro for me), and it asked me if I'd like it to attempt to uninstall KR for me, which it did!

    Then it asked for a reboot, and I went back into SuperSU, updated, as it asked, then it asked for a "SuperUser Request" for BusyBox, which I granted.

    Since then, PERFECT!

    You're AWESOME!

    Worked on Galaxy S3 NEO ( GT-I9300I) Android 4.4.4



    The Steps that worked for me are as follows:
    1. Same steps untill SuperSu installed

    2. When SuperSu launched itself (or you can launch it manually ) , it
    asked to update SU Binary, Click Normal.

    3. Wait until SuperSu says other user management app detected (in my
    case) and will ask you to remove it. Click cancel ( very important ).

    4. When you Click Cancel, it will say Binary updated Successfully. And
    will ask you to Reboot or OK. Click OK ( very important ) and not to
    Reboot.
    5. Now SuperSu will open normally but KingUser app will still be present
    ( in my case).

    6. Now go to Settings in SuperSu App and Go to Clean Up options and
    there you will find an option to remove other User Managemnt apps, just
    click the option and Boom SuperSu will remove it completely from your
    System.



    Hope this will work for someone else also.


    2nd Method:


    Just simply install SuperSu from Play Store and follow the above steps
    from Number 2 onwards. (Confirm if it works for you)

    @ MrWolf
    First I rooted my mobile with Cf Auto Root and now with KingRoot but in both cases I encountered a strange problem now. Problem is with Miss Call number i.e my phone usually (not always) shows wrong number of miss calls.For example if I have 1 missed call it shows 2 or 3 on lock screen and notification panel but in call logs it shows exact number. This is very annoying,problem appears since I rooted my mobile. Hope you will help ....

    It can be done backwards if u download Kinguser apk and rename it to Superuser.apk before placing it into mrw . At least on my DG450

    ReplyDelete
  112. Thanks! Successfully replaced Kinguser with SuperSu. Check screenshots below:

    After running the last command from terminal (sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh), you will get several dialogs that tell you KingUser has stopped, just press 'OK'. The new SuperSu installation will ask you whether you need to uninstall other super user apps that cause a conflict (read, KingUser). Allow it to uninstall KingUser then restart, and that's it!

    sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
    sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
    sh /sdcard/mrw/root.shNB: Just make sure you use the latest SuperSu (i.e. v2.49)

  121. Sony Xperia Z Lollipop 5.0.2 no sim
    I got various reboots (5 right after each other, 1 a few seconds after complete reboot, 1 about 2 min. after complete reboot).
    Since than every time I start KingUser or Kingroot (none have been removed or SuperSU been installed) the device reboots.
    After a reinstall (I did not remove it first) of KingRoot, I at least can use KingUser now, without it causing a reboot.
    Starting KingRoot though, still causes an instant reboot.
    I'll probably end up with a factory reset + restore of a backup and finally new rooting.
    Sucks
    Tx for the effort though ;-)
