  1. pls when i connect any phone to my kingo root on pc what i see is unsuported device. hw can i solve the problem?

  2. Take note of the following
    * Enable USB Debugging mode on your device
    * Change to another USB cable
    OEM ones if you have.
    * Try an alternate USB port
    USB 2.0 port.
    * Try unchecking "Media device (MTP) " in the USB Connection Settings.
    * If there is an USB icon in your notification center, click it to uncheck MTP.
    Or, go to Settings > Storage > Menu item in upper right > USB computer connection > Uncheck MTP.
    Correct those things and try again or go for kingo root .apk rather.
