This app lets you root almost any Android device with one click


A Chinese app which is not available in the Play Store is offering Android users a new luxury - rooting devices with one tap. The app, called KingRoot 4.0, was used in a new YouTube video to root a Verizon Galaxy Note 4 running Android Lollipop.


The app can be downloaded at Kingroot.net. Just visit the website on your phone and tap the blue button. The app will begin to download, but you will need to tick the "unknown sources" box in your Android "Security" menu. As Google has not verified this app, AndroidPIT advises readers to be aware of the risks associated with installing apps from unknown sources. Read this article for information on Android app permissions and what they mean.

So, is KingRoot 4.0 safe? The video uploader says in the comments that “it won't mess up your phone,” but “it may send your info to China.” We haven't tried the app ourselves yet, and we’re skeptical about its inherent capabilities. There are a vast number of hoops to jump through to root any device, let alone carrier-specific models. That being said, it appears to work in this video, so maybe it is possible.

Let us know in the comments below if you have any success with this app. The permissions it requests look relatively standard for an app that roots your device, but remember that rooting your smartphone will void your warranty.
