Install twrp recovery and flash twrp recovery,BUT DON'T REBOOT.....FIRST UNINSTALL KINGROOT:

Uninstall all kingroot, kinguser, Chinese char apks

Reboot to twrp with twrp.apk

Make full backup

Flash SuperSU.Zip



1. Get full read/write to system per [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] tutorial

If you get a black screen with your led light blinking red, and green hold power button until it powers off, if it keeps rebooting hold volume up while you do this. To get out of booting into black screen with green and red flashing led you have to boot into twrp, and wipe cache, once you wipe cache you can reboot system and should have everything setup, rooted with updated su binaries

Once rooted if you would like to have full read write while keeping your twrp recovery there has been a solution made by Masterchief87 he created two zips one that flashes twrp to boot partition and your boot to recovery, with boot on your recovery partition booting into recovery boots up normal, but with read and write to system, while keeping twrp on boot if you boot normo you boot straight into your twrp recovery

Is were you can check md5 and see Masterchief87 original post


Flash for read write to system to boot into android you must choose reboot recovery, or hold volume up + power or you will boot into twrp again.




The second zip allows you to boot into android with only read as it has twrp on your recovery partition and only boot on your boot partition.

Flash for twrp on recovery, this will allow you to flash ROMs, zips, but will only mount system ad read only if you boot into android

To boot into twrp with this one flashed you must use reboot recovery or power + volume up



As always be careful when flashing any zip from recovery, and ones that write new boot.img I myself and or anyone else are not responsible if you brick your device


OK if you permrooted with kingroot, and are having issues getting SuperSU to read binary here is what you have to do
(this means you didn't uninstall kingroot, kinguser,Chinese char apks before a reboot)

Method 1 backup restore
1. Get su binary on sdcard
2. Make a backup of your system and boot
3. Run Restore from twrp(this restores your backup you just made)
4. Don't reboot yet
5. Mount system in twrp
6. Copy su binary from sdcard to /system/xbin/su
7. chmod 755 with twrp file browser
8. Copy install-recovery.sh to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
9. Chmod 755 install-recovery. sh
10. Copy daemonsu /system/xbin/daemonsu
11. Chmod daemonsu 755
12. Cleanup delete old ku.sud from /system/xbin
Delete /system/use/iku
Delete kingroot.txt in system folder
Reboot
Enjoy SuperSU

thanks a lot this really helped without this I would never even attempted to try to root this phone step by step instructions are kind of a huge necessity on my end I don't understand half of the terminology people are using..so thanks a lot I really appreciate it
 
That's because you didn't uninstall before reboot, first make a backup if you haven't already in twrp, if you made axbackup already then just flash the backup, install SuperSU update.zip use twrp>advanced>file manager to remove kinguser its probably a system/app now or under data/app then you should check to see if you have extra su files go to original thread I posted because I originally did what you did read the original thread link at very bottom of my first post should help you uninstall kingroot, BE CAREFULL NOW THOUGH CAUSE ONCE PERM ROOTED WITH KING ROOT YOU MIGHT FIND BOOTLOOPS WHEN FLASHING OTHER ROMS OR THE BOOT SWITCHERS, THE ONLY ROM THAT DIDNT GIVECME BOOTLOOP WAS HROARK13 CM.12 as always read instructions better don't rush threw these things, and I am not responsible for damages to your device
 
Main reason I don't use xda , is because I grew and learn everything here so this. Is mi casa lolz and xda are as little to brought on noobs despite me not being one but still

Nope not yet. So no way of rooting without adb and connecting to a pc?

OK try thus with links in my post use the non English version of kingroot , force close the task manager and download antutu tester , run antutu wait until it reached 14 % and then run kingroot.... Its going to fail clear cache and data ( in that order ) and try again... ( credit to xda member )
 
Shouldn't even need sdk tools, unless you permrooted with kingroot, if you download kingroot and achieve temp root, just install twrp apk from hroark13 then flash his port of the twrp recovery and, this is when you uninstall kingroot, then you can flash SuperSU in the twrp recovery reboot by pressing power + volume uo, and be permrooted, make a backup in twrp before you do anything.

Awesome..thanks.. already got temp root a couple times but didn't want to proceed till I was sure. Deleted data etc and found king root, user and chinese apk did un install so now I will do it all just as you said.. so Will I have r/w privileges at that point after twrp backup and su install or is that where I need sdk adb? And thanks again.. I really expected it to be much more complicated.. I guess if you screw it up thats where the problems listed come into play.

Ok.. I achieved temp root.. cleared data on kingroot king user and uninstalled Kr. Ku and chinese char apk. Installed twrp opened apk and flashed recovery. Bit when I click boot recovery it doesnt do anything.. did I miss a step? So I cant get to the part to make backup and flash su with twrp

I got into twrp was able to boot into twrp by holding down power / vol up it allowed me to make a full backup of system.. boot and data.. ended up being 1.3 gb still said I was not rooted' it also asked if I wanted to install super su and that it would root my phone so I said yes but I dont think it was the update su file that I dled.. I have the update su file listed at top of thread.. should I delete super su and then install the update su file through twrp?.. ahh I dont have twrp installer on root.. its in my sdcard 1/ downloads/rooting files.. I need twrp installer to be in same directory as sys and system? Sorry.. my only phone so dont want a brick
