Caution using Kingo ROOT on Android
May 03, 2016 06:20PM
My own mileage varies here - it seemed to root/unroot my Android KitKat fine and all appears well.

However when I tried it on Android Lollipop it un-rooted right away, something me and others first attributed to a locked bootloader.
So I'd Factory reset and it was hit and miss whether it would work. Today I reset and started from scratch again and Kingo tried to download PCAccelerator and acdsee and my firewall asked for access. The former is considered a virus and the second an image viewing app, which I don't use (maybe it's payloaded who knows). Bad stuff and I don't plan on using this anymore.

Maybe you're wondering why I haven't asked Huuawei for the boot unlocker, well I got the four informations and tried. The site starts in English and only leads to a Chinese page. I emailed Huawei Mobile with my four informations and got this last night:

Please submit your mobile model, SN, IMEI/MEID and erro message in your e-mail.We also need to know that your phone is rooted, it can be out of the best working state and part of functions may not be able to work normally. In additon, the system is vulnerable to be invaded by viruses once your phone is permitted to unlock.

So I'll keep searching for another way to skin this cat, because logging in for 14 days from the phone is kind if cruel if you ask me.
