Have you used KingRoot one-click Android rooting application to root your Android smartphone or tablet? If yes, are you now looking for a way to uninstall KingUser app from your device? Well, if yes is your answer again, then you are on the right page. Here, I have given a step by step tutorial on how to uninstall KingUser android app for those devices which have been rooted using KingRoot application.
One of the main advantages of uninstalling KingUser application from your Android device is that it will also help you to unroot your smartphone or tablet, thereby helping you to get back the warranty of your device.
WARNING: Uninstalling KingUser app will remove root access from your device, and you won’t be able to use Android applications which requires root permissions. So, beware of it before getting started with the procedure given below.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: The procedure for removing KingUser given here will work only on Android devices that have used KingRoot for rooting. Since we haven’t tried this on devices that have been rooted using other rooting apps, and we can’t guarantee whether this tutorial will help to remove KingUser.
Step 2: Make sure that you have uninstalled the KingRoot application, which you have used for rooting your device. Also, ensure that your device has a decent battery backup before getting started with this uninstallation procedure.
Once you have finished the prerequisites given above, you can go ahead and get started with the procedure given below.
How To Uninstall KingUser And Unroot Your Android Device:
Step 1: To get started, go to your Apps menu, click on the KingUser app icon and open it up.
Step 2: Once the app is launched, click on the “Settings” icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen to launch KingUser settings.
Step 3: Now, in the KingUser general settings screen, click on “Root Authorization Setting” to launch up the settings screen.
Step 4: In the “Root Authorization Setting” click on “Remove Root Permission” option.
Step 5: Now, a prompt will show up with the message “Remove Root Authorization completely and return to Unroot status, Proceed?“. Click on “Clear” to begin the “Remove Root Permission” process.
Step 6: Once you click on “Clear“, you will see the “In Progress” message along with a progress circle as shown in the screenshot below.
Once the progress prompt gets closed, the uninstall process of KingUser will be successfully finished. Also, you have successfully unrooted or removed root access from your Android smartphone or tablet. Now, you can use the Root Checker app to confirm the unrooting process.
Instead of completely removing Kinguser, if you would like to replace it with SuperSU app, follow our guide on how to replace Kinguser with SuperSU.

It looks like your device isn’t rooted at all.

The kingroot app will help you to root your device. Once the device is successfully rooted by KingRoot, it will automatically install KingUser. Now, if you want to uninstall KingUser or unroot your device, follow the tutorial given in this page.
I have kingroot and says I am rooted with root checker. Yet I have found the kinguser apk in the system folder. When I try to install it says install failed and there has never been a kinguser icon anywhere on my phone. Any ideas?
Well, in that case you don’t have to worry about anything at all.

When I try to install it says install failed.

Disable then uninstall
If I DISABLE the KingRoot app it does not then show as an icon on the android screen and so I cannot click on it to try to uninstall it via setting button within KingRoot. If I DON@T disable it , I can click on uninstall BUT it says uninstall failed feedback.. PLEASE help to get rid of this!

It’s same for me. Do You solve problem?
Please follow this guide: https://rootmydevice.com/how-to-uninstall-kinguser-and-unroot-your-android-device/
If you go onto the newest version of kingroot you can uninstall it through the app
After i do that procedure can i update my android version successfully with no bootloop issue?
I want to go ahead and try to uninstall like this, but the directions confuse me. If the first step is to delete the app, how then can I go into the app to remove root permissions? Won’t the app be deleted? I see the same instructions on Kingroot’s website too. To clarify, I used Kingroot for Android. I do not see any KingUser app on my phone, only Kingroot. Another site said to remove KingMaster App as well. I also do not see this on my device. Am I missing something here? Can anyone please clarify? Thanks.

Since rooting with KingRoot, it’s been a night mare. I haven’t been able to install any apks I rooted the phone for. Now, I reset and it’s still there. WTF. Don’t use KingRoot, it takes hold, with none of the advantages.
