Omg I'm on the verge of squishing the poop out of my phone.

So ok, this is my problem, I have obtain temp root with kingroot, then I install the recovery from twrp, then when I click boot recovery, when my phone restarts in twrp it says that my phone is not rooted...

How did you guys get it to work?


Carrier: Metro


Please help.
Thanks in advance.
 
You then use TWRP to flash Chainfire's SuperSu zip. There is a link in the "Rooting Links" thread.
Or you can use TWRP to flash Butternoob, which is pre-rooted.

I don't even have temp root right now, you are saying that all I have to do is flash Christine's superSu and I'm all ready to go?


Thnx so much for answering btw
 
If you have TWRP installed, you should be able to just flash SuperSU and be good.
 
Excellent. I'm going to root mine pretty soon too.

Edit: Just did. Took 4 tries to get Kingroot to work; ultimately opened about 22 tabs in Chrome, each loading a different Flickr gallery. AdAway and Xposed are loaded and working (MinMinGuard and SDcard fix).

I hate you. It took me 12 hours and 200 attempts... And I have quite a few Xposed Modules open and running. I've only found a couple to give problems...
 
I tried running 3 browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera) at the same time, which didn't work; tried running those plus a few launchers, didn't work; tried running a bunch of launchers at once as some have suggested, didn't work; finally tried the RAM-hoggiest thing I could think of and it worked within 10 seconds. First time I've rooted an Android device without using a PC since my Motorola Defy running Eclair!

(All I really wanted from this was ad-blocking and the SD card fix, but I'm sure it won't stop there.)
