Great work admin. Thanks.
Now I can uninstall the Chinese apps using KingRoot app.
Hi,
Great job to you also. And thank you for leaving positive comment
Should busy box be installed if I am going to install gapps?
Could you recommend me a gapps package suitable with this model?
It ok if you want install busybox, busybox contains root commands and it ok if you install it. Just search at google gapps package that suitable for your operating system. Recommended that you use minimal package.
The SU binary is not installed, so no root permission.
How to solve this?
Thank you.
su binary on the 4.4Root.zip, you must install it from recovery.follow the ink on the requirement section to install custom recovery then back to this guide to install 4.4root.zip that contains Su binary.
Dear admin,
The kingroot has been installed, but the su binary is not installed.
So I need to reinstall it again via recovery, right?
Thanks.
yes, install it again with recovery, use custom recovery. it will not work using standard recovery so please install TWRP or CWM first
I really want to install CWM help me please to have it on VIBE UI 2.0,TWRP give too much failure while restoring..
Cwm is rare for lenovo devices only available for certain device and i think Lenovo S650 dont have it
Hi Andy, this 4.4 root have Google application ?
No it only root program, for install gapps on vibe ui 2.0 you should install custom recovery and the install gapps from it. Please ask one by one.. Thank you
So the custom recovery is twrp?
not always TWRP. CWM is also custom recovery Carliv Touch is also custom recovery. depend what you install on your device but all custom recovery have same functions
