I installed and rooted with vroot but from some another source (because it showed estimated download time over 2h) the superuser app was all in chinese, after second attempt with your second attached file everything is fine. Thanks

Any downside in keeping the Kinguser (now called "Superuser") app for SU? I mean the rooting method came with it, chances are there are some tweaks, etc. specific for Kinguser? Or am I thinking too much. :p

Well afer restoring from TB all the toasts are chinese but I it's fast at least.

Note :- If you want to change the Kinguser (Chinese Superuser app) to SuperSU , just download SuperSU from Playstore , open it , it will ask for Root Permissions , grant it , then follow the screen instructions to update the binary. Now open SuperSU , go to Settings and click on "Install SuperSU into /system" . Your phone will reboot and Kinguser will automatically get uninstalled :)

OR

Download this file - LINK
Extract it somewhere and run 'runme_win.bat' .

    2. Enable USB Debugging , Go to Settings > About phone and tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options, now Go to Settings > Developer options to enable Enable USB debugging mode.

    3. Enable Unknown Sources. Go to Settings > Security and check Unknown sources.

    4. Download vRoot from here - http://www.mgyun.com/vroot

    If any one has problem removing kinguser via SuperSU (In my case, SuperSU always failed to get root access from kinguser), Download Root VROOT.zip (2nd attachement) from here, extract it somewhere and run "runme_win.bat"
    Kinguser is replaced by SuperSU now

    I hope you have enabled usb debugging, then most probably a driver issue
