The Samsung Galaxy Grand Max just received a new way to get root access thanks to the KingRoot tool. Dubbed the new rooting tool that can root just about all Android devices, the KingRoot tool is simple to use. Just download the application and open it from the application drawer and press the big blue button from the main screen. This button will now ping data back from the KingRoot teams cloud servers.
The only problem which people hate is that the developers must ping your IMEI number and this leads to people thinking that the Chinese have your data. The KingRoot team said not to worry about the data scare because the amount of people who use the tool would require them to spend so much more to store the data that there’s no way they would ever imagine doing so. that sounds like a great answer to me.
The KingRoot tool works for any firmware and software update from Android 2.3 Gingerbread through to Android 5.1 Lollipop. We are sure a new update will arrive where they have a new exploit found for the new marshmallow that’s set to arrive this fall. For now, though, you can root your device with confidence. The new one-click universal rooting tool is known as more of a soft root which typically means you cannot install a custom recovery. However, sources say that you can still flash a recovery. A custom recovery won’t be much good to you with the Samsung Galaxy Grand Max anyway, since there are hardly any custom ROMs available. Most people will want the root access in this instance because they can then install the root-requiring apps from the Google Play Store.
The files you need
