HOW TO REPLACE KINGUSER WITH SUPERSU
Iroot and Kingroot are arguably two of the most popular rooting applications because of their efficiency and ability to root most android devices with just a single click.
But the only problem with this apps is that instead of the traditional SuperSU most android users are used to, kinguser is installed instead. Many people are always looking for ways to replace the kinguser with SuperSU because kinguser doesn't grant proper root permission to some apps like cleanmaster, lucky patcher e.t.c
I will be sharing with you guyzz two different methods to replace kinguser with SuperSU.
1st Method: By installing supersu.
Though this method works on most occasion but in case it doesn't work for you, then try the other methods below.
Procedure:
>> Download SuperSU from playstore.
>> Open SuperSU and you should get a popup message asking you to update binary, select continue and choose normal.
>> while trying to update binary SuperSU will request for root access, grant it root access and reboot your device after the binary have been updated.
Note: in case SuperSU does not request for root access or you get binary update failed message then try the 2nd or 3rd method.
2nd Method: Through cwm
This method involves installing the flashable zip format of SuperSU through recovery.

The kinguser should be automatically replaced by SuperSU. Just update binary and enjoy.
3rd method: Through terminal emulator.
All thanks to wolfdroid for his sript file. This method does not require custom recovery. All you need is to install terminal emulator.
Requirements:
>> terminal emulator. Download here.
>> Replace_VRoot_With_SuperSU.zip. Download here.
>> terminal emulator. Download here.
>> Replace_VRoot_With_SuperSU.zip. Download here.
Procedure:
>> Download and install terminal emulator from the link provided above.
>> Open the zip file you downloaded and extract the folder "mrw" to the root of your sdcard.
>> Open terminal emulator and type:
"su "
to grant root access.
>> Type:

>> Download and install terminal emulator from the link provided above.
>> Open the zip file you downloaded and extract the folder "mrw" to the root of your sdcard.
>> Open terminal emulator and type:
"su "
to grant root access.
>> Type:

You phone should automatically reboot after the process.
That's all. You have just successfully replaced kinguser with SuperSU.
Note: if you still get binary update failed message after trying the 2nd and 3rd method,

DeleteI downloaded supersu.zip and tried to open it it says cannot open file
ReplyDeleteyou are to flash it via recovery not to open it.
ReplyDeleteAnd are you sure the download was succesful
Hi, I'm concerned about using Kingroot given comments online that it uploads your IMEI to an unknown server ?where. If I gain root using Kingroot, then use your methods to change to superuser, then uninstall Kingroot, does that fully eliminate kingroot from my phone? Do we know, at what stage the IMEI is uploaded, just from installing, or at the time of rooting. Would very much like to try this method to root but not happy until sure it's safe, thanks
ReplyDeleteits all rumour buddy, what kingroot does is that it gets your ROM information so as to deploy the most suitable method to root your phone.
ReplyDeleteNote that most rooting app does that and note just kingroot.
Hello, none of 4 methods worked for me. I don't have custom recovery, so 2nd was not applicable for me. after third method, I've ended up with the condition "kinguser" was removed, however supersu was still not be able to update binary. So I've tried 4th method, it says my root is broken, and suggests to fix it, however it cannot. No application can gets root access, I'm in worst condition, pls help.
ReplyDeletewhich app did you use to root your phone
ReplyDeleteHello, 3rd method worked for me, it replaced KingRoot with SuperSU but now it doesn't want to update binaries, and I tried the other SuperSU version supplied by that link but still no sucess. Now I have SuperSU.apk in my system/app and can't delete it. After I did all this, my device is unrooted now, but the SuperSU app is still there. What can I do to properly unroot my device and start looking for other solutions?
ReplyDeletere root your phone with iroot for pc
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried 3rd method. But when my phone reboot the Kinguser was gone, SuperSU isn't installed, and my root status changing to unrooted. Any solution? I tried to re-root but it doesn't work anymore. (Lenovo S660)
ReplyDeleteIf after trying any of the methods listed above, you lose your root access... Just Download this version of supersu from this LINK or reroot with iroot for pc
ReplyDelete^^ The link is broken dude. Reupload please
ReplyDeleteI allowed my king root on every thing now I reset my phone and I can't login in to my google account It just says couldn't find surver and it messed up my wifi
ReplyDeleteI don't think that was caused by kingroot
DeleteI followed the procedure with my Samsung G360F.
ReplyDeleteSuper SU successfully updated and rooting was OK BUT (!!!) after rebooting the root is lost and I got a message from super SU saying “no su binary installed”
Try re rooting your phone with the rooting app before while you still have the SuperSU installed
DeleteThanks a lot! had to use the third method on my Huawei p7. First i clicked the wrong SuperSu program and thought there was an error...
ReplyDeleteOkay
Deleteabout the 2e way...
ReplyDeleteWhen you say "sdcard", you mean the internal or the external sd card?
We put it on wich one, and we unzip it on wich one?
It is important to say it...
And maybe add the requirement to install somme unzipping app like winzip or 7zip...
It didnt work for me on a Kyocera ...
On most device, it should work on the external sdcard....
DeleteBut it only works on internal sdcard on some other devices
i have kinguser and my mobile automatically download apps....so my question is when i download supersu then i face same problem or not........
ReplyDeleteYou may face same problem
ReplyDeleteWhere is "The root" of my device? Is it some folder??
ReplyDeleteIt means directly inside your sdcard without putting it inside any folder
