After upgraded to kitkat, no VROOT or 360.cn root one-click root tools are capable to preform root s930. The only way I got successful to root my phone through install TWRP recovery for s930 and flash root package by TWRP

totally agree! I had the same experience.

I am not denying to you. But I have rooted my phone using vroot only. After upgrading you have to use fress upgraded version of vroot. And one more thing for super user app you can download SuperSU ( chainfair ) from play store. Use latest version of SuperSU app.

I tried to download updated version VROOT but Antivirus prompt it Trojan inside. Even I took risk to download to a computer (brand new computer without important things). I did root phone but not successful. I am interesting that what version VROOT you were using to root 4.4.2?
Other things, SuperSU has problem after flashed to phone. it seems to be OK and grant root right to apps such as Titanium backup. However, when you open SuperSU,it will prompt you SU binary need to be updated. It is NEVER successful the update. I download most updated version SuperSU 2.02 but same error. Finally, a Chinese web site, someone using I post root package and successful. I did root by this package, everything fine.

I am extremely sorry brother , In previous post i pasted the wrong link that is for android 4.2 version.
follow this for android 4.4.+ version::::::::
1. Download driver for your phone on pc. Use pdanet to download driver.or search in google for s930.
2. download it: Romaster_3.4.6.8285
http://soft.mgyun.com/files/products/romasterlab/1000/2014/50595328/Romaster_3.4.6.8285_Setup.exe
3. turn on USB DEBUG in your phone.
4. Install RootMaster that you have downloaded alredy.
5.Open it, Click on ROOT at bottom.Wait for status. Then click on ROOT. And wait to reboot your phone .After that ROOTMASTER will check that status of your phone.
You will get status as Rooted .
All DONE and have fun.
Then Install SuperSU:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
When you open it Then,
You should choose "Normal Installation" when it will prompt.
Done .
Say Thanks If it helps you.

Did you try to open SuperSU and prompt you update SU Binary? I did similar thing of you mention but SuperSU alway prompt me update binary but never successful

Yes I installed it and working fine. Earlier I was also not able to use it but after getting kitkat its working.
Do one thing, first uninstall SuperSU. Root your phone then install SuperSU from play store only. Don't use any backup apk.

Ok, that is good actually. Now go to this link and download Impactor please, unzip the file onto your PC then double click the Impactor application, then on box that pops up leave it on # drop Supersu su to /system/xbin/su and hit start. IF it says successful the go to Play Store and download Supersu, when it opens it will ask to update binary, choose continue then normal and you should have root! Use root checker to verify afterwards if you like. Good luck!
http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/
You might need to install drivers for your device so the root program can communicate with your device, Impactor has a button to help install drivers but if it fails let me know and I can give you some generic android drivers if nothing else
Hope this helps!
I've managed to install all the drivers, but in time will always fail to install the adb drivers
it say
cannot start this hardware
there was a problem installing this hardware
android composite adb interface (Qualcomm usb ID)
windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware
the driver may be corrupted or missing (code 39)

Try installing this on your PC, it will help find drivers for your device. If that don't work we will use the generic drivers:
http://www.snappea.com/
Also - Do you have USB debugging enabled? Go to Settings > Developer Options > and make sure USB debugging is checked otherwise the PC cant use ADB drivers even if correct ones are installed.

I finally managed to install the driver
I've tried to use cydia impactor but it's always like this
error

Ok, do you have SuperSU or Superuser on your device? First we will have to sort that out. Both apps do the same thing, but it is not good to have more than one installed at same time or you get conflicts on whether you are rooted because the apps cant decide who controls root access between them all. How many superuser apps do you have counting the chinese one Vroot installed/ Usually when I use Vroot, it installs the chinese superuser app then I instal SuperSU from play store, when you go to update binary in SuperSU the first time you open the app, make sure you hit the right button in the chinese pop up that should pop up. If you have alot of trouble figuring out this part, feel free to install Teamviewer on your PC and I can connect to you and help you get this sorted, I have tools that will let me see your phone on your PC's screen so it wont take long to fix I dont think.
No i dont have supersu apl in my phone.
What you need about my mobile?
I will send you everything you need.
I check in google and i think my mobile same with innos i6c.
But all site about this product on chinesse language and i cant understand at all
I need install teamviewer only on pc? Or mobile to?

Ok, first go install SuperSU from Play Store. Once installed open the app and it should pop up a message saying it needs to update binary. Choose continue then choose normal. You should then get a pop up box that from the chinese root app, make sure you tap the right hand button to allow the english SuperSU to install binary. Let me know if it fails after this, if it completes with no errors reboot phone once. Upon rebooting look to see if the other chinese root app is still there. If it is still there then I will need you to go back into SuperSU app and then choose setttings, within settings please choose "Install SuperSU into /system" This may reboot phone but that is ok, if it does not reboot then reboot it yourself. (If it reboots phone itself, it had to do that to clean up files first and you will need to go back into SuperSU and install SuperSU to /system again and reboot once more) Upon reboot chinese root app should now be gone and you should have root.
I do not need any info about your mobile, I got everything I need to help already. I was suggesting Teamviewer meaning if you cant get root yourself, I was offering to connect to your PC and do it for you. If you would feel more comfortable just doing it yourself that is fine but I was just making the offer in case you were to the point you just wanted it done and over!
Let me know how it goes.

Root 245 and 254 firmware without flashing kernel

This method allows for ROOT versions 245/254 without having to flash older kernel.
Steps:
1. install the English version of VROOT (see attachment)
2. running VROOT and let you update your latest version (1.7)
3. Once updated, open VROOT and connect the phone with USB DEBUGGING ON mode
4. Press a Button on ROOT and wait for it to finish.
5. Once completed we will say that it is ROOT, but the root that has this in chinesse, to change this file, unzip "Root VROOT.zip" and run the file runme_win.bat (some time need do 2 times for work).
What this does is remove the file ric (random reboots), changes the their to English and installs the SuperSU and busybox (same as V18 does DooMLoRD ROOT).
once completed, the phone will reboot and should be fine.
Enjoy.

offline charger is work or not ?
for me, yes... no prob. at all
Well, I'll be ... it worked!
At least, that's what Simple Root Checker told me.
I had to directly download the 1.7.0 version of VROOT from Mod edit: links removed , since the provided version in the OP simply won't just update.
Edit: Forgot to say, offline charging works!
At least, when I plugged in the charger after shutting down the phone, it *remains* shutdown. A press on the power button shows battery level indicator, then screen turns off again.

Don't do the last step "What this does is remove the file ric (random reboots), changes the their to English and installs the SuperSU (same as V18 does DooMLoRD ROOT)."
Coz it will make ur phone always reboot after booting to homescreen.

There's only one version that I can see in Mod edit: links removed ...
Or, to be precise, I don't understand Chinese, so I just clicked on the "big button with downward arrow and the label 立即下载 "
(According to Google Translate, "立即下载" means "Download Now")
Then, I followed the instructions of the installed VROOT Windows App. The phone did some quirky things, then rebooted. Everything was on autopilot. When the process completed, the VROOT Windows App automatically tested for Root.
The VROOT Windows App said I'm rooted. Simple Root Checker (which had been recommended via XDA Portal) said I'm rooted. There was a pop-up in Chinese as I ran Simple Root Checker; I guess it's SRC asking for root privileges, I just tapped on "Accept" or "Allow" (luckily, the buttons were in English).
Afterwards, I ran the runme_win.bat provided by OP (after ensuring that I've closed all apps connected to the phone). The SU app in the phone got replaced with SuperSU ...
... and now I'm a happy peach

I've done like those steps, then when I used Folder Mount for my Games Data and reboot, then everything's gonna be error.
So I just flash to stock firmware 2.254 then rooting using DooMLoRD methods, it works now
Maybe it's so complicated using rooting steps from DooMLoRD but I think it gives me a perfect rooting, hehehe

Your reboot problem is caused by some issue with mounting /system r/w, which can happen with any rooting method. it's not the vroot that's causing it.

Can you tell me exactly what folder pairs you mount using Folder Mount?
Because, rooting simply means "a way to give you root (UID=0) privileges". You're either rooted, or you're not. There's no such thing as partially rooted or imperfectly rooted.
The possible cause might be a buggy and/or outdated busybox binary.
I myself have installed BusyBox Pro by Stericson. It is one of the most up-to-date and complete busybox implementation for Android.
If you can post exactly what games you experienced problems with, and which folder pairs you mounted, I can test with my phone.

There's the tar files you flash in odin, full wipe and no wipe. Surge hasn't updated the OP of that thread in awhile so some of what it says is incorrect but the files are still good of course.

i don't prefer to flash files because this may make soft brick or play with bootloader.
the hateful thing in android is the bootloader especially on samsung devices.much sensitive.

It's a tar file for Odin, samsung's own firmware software. Those are the files and Odin is the tool that saves you from a soft brick.

i know a lot about tar files and i have flashed my phone many times via odin...i didn't use ota...always odin.
but i mean about some custom tar files or unsuitable files may cause soft brick.

I'm not following you at all.
You want to root. You started with a program (vroot) which is not known to work on Kit Kat. But you think that it's OK, because it's Chinese. Then you refuse to use Samsung signed factory images to recover your phone. Why? Because they're from Japan?
On a clean NC5 build, Towelroot seems to root just fine. Why not use that?

why are you angry like that.
i didn't refuse to use samsung factory images...i have used them many times to recover from soft brick...i have bricked my phone about 5 times..
this happen because play sytem files or build.prop file.
not matter for me if i used factory images from china or japan....iam not japaness or chiness.
my image was clean but only towel root dosen't work for me so i use the two programs...ok
vroot has been updated to work with kitkat if you have the latest version of it...but on some device may not work properly but it can push su file into /system/xbin....thank you.

Angry? No, just confused as I said. You seemed to be worried about running Odin, an official Samsung application to flash factory stock ROMs but don't seem to have any problems running programs like vroot. Maybe the vroot owners have reformed, so maybe it's time to look. However, it seems very likely that they've just tweaked Towelroot, as vroot couldn't root Kit Kat before Towelroot came out. If so, then they should be telling geohot how to make it work on more models rather than diverting contributions from geohot. But then again, they've never been a part of the community. Their choice, of course.
i have runing odin many times to restore/update phone rom.

Are you sure the drivers are installed correctly? Did you update to KitKat using the flash tool? (if so then the drivers are correctly installed). If not, and you updated over KitKat, chances are that you have not installed the drivers correctly which is the hard part. See this post here for correct driver installation http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/lenovo-p780-guide-t2658144

i downloaded the update file from this link " http://studioscue.com/lenovo-p780-8g...n-and-rooting/ " and it was a rar file when extracted i got a zip file and i copied that file to phone and switched off the phone and went to recovery mode by pressing powerkey,vol up and vol down. the file automatically installed.i actually downloaded drivers from lenovo website for p780 and installed it in my pc, i even connected my phone and checked for driver update,the message displayed drivers up to date.
I downloaded the driver file and installed. now my phone is getting detected but i get this error in the flash tool.
PMT Mismatch
I have had this problem before, on another phone Bird V1277 see attached screenshot you need a modified scatter file or try and download file again could be corrupted?
I tried with three different scatter files but its not working i get this error in sp flash tool
"pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded"
what might be the problem

Vroot doesn't give lasting root. After a day or two the root fails. Kingroot wont work and root genius isn't so genius with this ROM. Has anyone gotten lasting root on the newest KK ROM? I have rooted three times. Right now I'm using SuperSU but it is not full root. TB won't work and Mobile Uncle Tools doesn't work fully also. Is there no newer recovery that will work better? I've tried the newest TWRP and the older CWM both won't give full root. I wouldn't ask but I've been looking myself for a long while already. I've even contacted the guy who writes the 4EXT recovery. Maybe he will make us a recovery. I like 4EXT.
What is the difference between the kitkat update variations s220,s221,s214
my phone has s214 and i cant install twrp in it
which is the latest version among all these
Obviously S221.

Kingroot has root privilege not SuperSU, it says, install SU binary I don't know how to replace it.... Installed latest superSU as well, but the problem still persist
