What is KingRoot?

KingRoot is a tool that greatly simplifies the process of obtaining “superuser” rights on most Android mobile devices. Simultaneously with the installation of the program, the KingUser application is installed, through which Root rights are managed. Using the tool is as easy as shelling pears – tap on the central round icon and wait for a while, if it turns green, then everything was successful, otherwise you will have to try another method to obtain root rights, of which there are quite a lot now.

Although Root rights give access to all files and systems of a mobile device, those people who regularly use contactless payments may encounter certain difficulties (the smartphone simply will not pass the security check), so it is worth deciding what is a priority. Sometimes when working with KingRoot it is not possible to achieve the main goal, this happens if the device’s firmware does not meet the conditions of the given algorithm, and the gadget itself is reliably protected by the developers from such an upgrade. Fortunately, such cases are quite rare.

You should also warn that the smartphone may reboot several times in the process of obtaining “superuser” rights; you should not be afraid of this. The creators of the KingRoot application claim that their product works reliably with one and a half thousand mobile devices, among which there are devices from the most famous brands (Samsung, Nexus, Xiaomi, ZTE, Huawei and others). The program is primarily recommended to users who want 100% control over their device and make changes to its operation at the system level.

Why does installation fail on newer Android versions (14 - 16)?

Newer Android versions strictly block the installation of apps built for older Android versions (API < 23) for security reasons. Standard installation is not possible. Read our step-by-step guide on how to bypass this restriction using ADB or Shizuku.

What Android version does KingRoot require?

KingRoot requires Android 2.3 (API 9) or higher. Optimized for Android 5.1 (API 22).

Does KingRoot require Root access?

No root is required for basic use. KingRoot works on standard Android for CPU info, RAM, battery, sensors, and network stats. Root unlocks a small set of advanced system parameters that Android restricts by default.

What processor architecture does KingRoot support?

KingRoot supports arm64-v8a, armeabi, mips, x86, x86_64. This build requires a 64-bit ARM processor (arm64-v8a). Very old Android devices may not be compatible. If you are unsure about your device architecture, check the Device Info section on this page.

How to enable installation from unknown sources on Android?

Go to Settings → Security (or Settings → Apps → Special access on Android 8+) and enable "Install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager. On Android 8 and above this setting is per-app, not global. Read more
