ZTE Zmax rooted with kingroot topic

OK if you permrooted with kingroot, and are having issues getting SuperSU to read binary here is what you have to do


1. Get full read/write to system per @jcase tutorial
2. Get su binary on sdcard
3. use either adb or terminal emulator and grant su
4. Keep the adb or terminal emulator as su and uninstall kingroot, make sure you unchecked all three of the root options in kingroot, keep updated, backup, and the other one I already forgot lol.

5. In adb or terminal emulator use

cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/su
chmod 755 /system/xbin/su
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/daemonsu
chmod 755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
cat /sdcard/su > /system/xbin/ku.sud
chmod 755 /system/xbin/ku.sud
cat /sdcard/su > /system/usr/iku/isu
chmod 755 /system/usr/iku/isu

This should allow SuperSU to see su binary, the problem we are having is that install-recovery.sh instead of running daemonsu as a service with /system/xbin/daemonsu --auto-daemon &
is its just linking to another su in system/xbin and system/usr/iku,
so were just going to replace those extra su with SuperSU binary instead, when we permrooted with kingroot it added a /dev/null for its recovery-install.sh to survive ota update and Its beyond my knowledge to change that, but I can tell you how to change kingroot su to SuperSU, and thus we have SuperSU instead of kingroot.

After binary is pushed in all spots install SuperSU and enjoy!

After this please reinstall twrp recovery so you don't brick your device.
