How to Root Xiaomi Phone Using KingoRoot Without PC
To begin, follow this link and download the KingoRoot official apk file. Then, head out to your phone’s Settings, tap on Additional Settings/Privacy, and allow installing from the Unknown Sources. By touching the Unknown Source toggle you will enable installation of applications or apk files from unknown sources. Follow the steps shown on the image bellow.
Please note that there is an option to allow installation of apps from unknown sources temporarily. As a result, this setting could grant permission for current app installation to continue from unknown sources. Either way, you can now install the KingoRoot to your device, and once you do, simply open it and tap on “Try to root.”
If you’re successful, you’ll get this notice, and you’re all set! Now you’ll have endless possibilities when it comes to your Xiaomi device. KingoRoot for Android is the most powerful apk root tool. This tool actually allows the user to root their smartphone with just a single click on a button. Quite easy.
However, sometimes the official app will fail to root your device no matter what you try. If that happens, you can use the KingoRoot PC software, which is much more successful. So let’s move on to the next section, where we’ll show you how to use the software on your PC if the app fails.
Using KingoRoot on PC
First, you’ll need to have an internet connection on your device and a USB cable to connect it to your PC. We strongly advise using the original cable that you got with the device. Then, download the KingoRoot software from the official website, install it on your PC and launch it. Once you do, you’ll be greeted with this notice.
Before connecting a phone with the PC, make sure to enable USB debugging first. Here’s how to do that.
Now, connect your Xiaomi device with your PC using the USB cable. You’ll get this notification on your phone, so simply tap on OK.
If you have never connected a Xiaomi phone with your PC before, you probably don’t have Xiaomi drivers installed. But don’t worry, because the KingoRoot will do this for you automatically.
Now, you’ll get a prompt in KingoRoot where it will say that rooting your device will void its warranty and all that jazz. We’ll assume that you are already aware of this and willing to take risks. However, you should know that with the risks come the rewards.
All that remains is to click on “Root” and wait a bit so that KingoRoot will try to root your device using various methods. This can last for a couple of minutes, and your device may restart during this process, so you should know that this is normal. Once you start this process, don’t unplug your device, close the KingoRoot, basically don’t do anything that can interfere with the process.
If everything goes smoothly, you’ll get a notification that says “Root succeed,” and that’s all there is to it! You have now learned how to root Xiaomi phone.
Now, you should have a SuperUser app installed on your device, so you can use it to check your device’s root status.
Conclusion
If you managed to root your Xiaomi device, congratulations! You’ll now realize that you can explore a whole new world of opportunities, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.
