How to remove KINGroot? I installed KINGroot and regretted it. Now I can't remove all of its files because of permissions only KINGroot has. My friend tried to remove it by using towelroot and other methods but my phone crashes them. I need a PC method to remove all KINGroot files but also having my phone permanently rooted. The friend I mentioned and my other friend have rooted phones without KINGroot. 

Can you please help me solve this issue.

I have:


Samsung Galaxy S3 mini - model number: GT - I8190
version 4.1.2
Phone manufacturing date: Jul 28 2013


If you require any other information about my phone please let me know. I messed up.
Firstly, soon after uninstalling KingRoot be sure to get another SU management app, to protect your device against malicious attacks since it has elevated privileges than a non rooted device,

A checklist just in case;


Check if KingRoot is enabled as device administrator (under settings≥security), sometimes it's difficult to uninstall apps with such privileges
Try to uninstall the app from  within itself, rather than dragging to uninstall (you will need to reinstall su binaries with this method, but if your goal is to just get rid of KingRoot for another SU app it's worth a go)
Navigate directly to /system/app/ and search for a package with name com.kingroot.kinguser and delete the contents.


If the app is still stubborn, then try the PC method

Connect your device via  USB with debugging enabled,

On your PC open ADB terminal and type the codes one by one

# mount -o rw, remount /system

# am kill com.kingroot.kinguser

# pm uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser


Check if the app is removed
