Bro see my problem
Seems like your phone is not rooted. After using kingroot to root, forget about Super User.


Kingroot comes pre-installed with King User(variant of Super User)

nice tread
my story
I bought a new gionee m2 last two weeks, I rooted the phone five days later with king root, it rooted successfully, then I started downloading apps, lots of different apps, that was the first time I knew that I could download apk files of apps without using Google play store (am using an opera mini bundle days plan courtesy of Airtel) so I downloaded lots of stuff and installed them, screen recorder , checker, bubble float, data manager etc...
when I switched off the phone at night, it refused to switch back on, it was stuck in boot loop (it shows the phone's logo but remains there, it doesn't pass there) you can imagine how scared I was, I took it to their office at Ikeja and they did it for me, I also noticed that after they did it, the animation logo changed, also, some stuff in my phone changed, I think they upgraded the software.... I lost root access , yesterday I rooted it again using king root ,I tried using v root, framaroot,etc but none worked, so I used king root again, however this time I am afraid to switch my phone off, yesterday night I didn't switch it off because of fear, but surely I will switch it off on Monday or Tuesday when gionees office at Ikeja must have opened just in case.... I don't know what is causing it, I don't know if it will happen again, but I noticed that some apk files have refused to delete from my phone, I use clean master antivirus but no virus has been detected in my phone,apk files like framaroot, vroot, etc has refused to delete o, an also optimistic that a virus might have caused my phone to boot loop last week, any guru with good advice should please help


my phone has not slept since yesterday, i dey pity the phone because am a heavy user
My hypothesis is your phone has been uprooted. Don't be scared to turn it off. Don't be scared to experiment with ur android.


Like my friend would say no android device cam be totally bricked smiley grin

how do I unroot my phone in the future.
will I have access to Google play store after rooting
tnx
Depending on the method you used to root your phone, unrooting can be easy or just outright difficult but....

If you used Kingroot, simply uninstall the app and root priviledges disappear with it, if you have CWM or TWRP, download SuperUser or SuperSU and go to settings and click full unroot

And yes you will definitely still have access to play store


DAhs All

You still have whatsapp installed in your phone.

To install whatsapp+ you need to uninstall whatsapp
PhonesRe: Rooting Android (A New Approach For Tecno, Infinix, Etc) by Gmekx(op):
Now your phone is rooted, the app(KingRoot) can serve as SuperUser or you can download rootchecker to confirm root and SuperSu or SuperUser from Google Playstore to authorize root access to apps


For SuperSu allow the SU binary to be updated via normal mode


For those whose phones could not be rooted via the above method, drop your phone name and mdels and I'll get back to you

If you want to learn how to hack In App Purchases, notify me. I'll make a post detailing the process to do that.

Now I know that you've been told to use different methods to root your phone and it may or may not have worked, for this tutorial, I'll need you to keep an open mind.

In order to start the root process, I'll need you to download KingRoot from this link

http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=14250&task=get

The app is about 6MB

After downloading, install it and open the app

Now for some phones, you just click root and it works but if you get the message root access is unavailable... Continue Reading

Before i dive into this new method which is a variation of an old method, I'd like to define rooting and give its advantages and disadvantages


Root is having the privileged control of mobile phone system. When you buy a new Android phone, you are just a guest user on the phone. You can use the phone, just as a guest would use Windows, but you will not be able to make any changes to the system files. However, after you have a root access over your phone, you could browse your Android root folder and make any changes to the system files on your phone. And that’d mean the ability to make all kinds of changes and install more powerful apps that you can’t use on a non-rooted phone.

Rooting your android can allow you to conduct a comprehensive management and optimizaton on your phone such as removing pre-installed apps, disabling startup apps, replacing system font, hacking games in app purchases, etc. It also allows you to install special apps,cutom ROMs and helps free up phone memory.

Disadvantages of rooting are voiding of manufacturer's warranty and bricking of phone(A ‘bricked’ phone means a dead phone and is the same as carrying around a brick in your pocket). Other uncommon disadvantages are slow performance and installation of viruses

So, you’ve been acquainted and warned. If you think that rooting the phone to run special applications and custom ROM is worth is, go ahead. If you think it’s not worth the hassle, stay put. At the end of the day, it’s depends on your usage and what you want your phone to do for you. Of course, proceeding with caution no matter how great an expert you think you are is always advisable.

The bricking incident never stopped me from rooting my phone again. Is it going to stop you?

[size=14pt]DISCLAIMER: ROOTING YOUR PHONE WILL PROBABLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY FROM BOTH THE CARRIER AND THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT FAULT FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ROOTING, THEN DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.[/size]
