KingoRoot is software intended to provide root access on smartphones, tablet computers, etc. running all versions of the Android operating system from 4.1.2,[1] available since 2013.[2] There is another very similar Android Application [3] with the same purpose, KingRoot[4] launched at about the same time; the two very similarly-named applications are often confused.

KingoRoot was used in an exploit by ZNIU along with the DirtyCow exploit in September 2017 to gain root access.[5][6]

KingoRoot was banned from the XDA Developers forum along with vRoot in November 2013 due to concerns with the information collected by the app during the rooting process.[7]

Reviews[edit]

CNET gave Kingo Android Root 3.5 out of 5 stars, [8] and Rick Broida, a CNET editor, says the KingoRoot app "makes rooting a one-click affair", while noting that it does not work for all devices.[9]

Digital Trends said that using an app is "one of the easiest ways to root your Android device", and included KingoRoot in its list of most reliable rooting apps.[10]

A long thread on the respected xda-developers Web site concluded, with detailed information and links, that the similarly named app KingRoot should be considered adware and malware, although it is often successful in gaining root access.[11]
