Many [Android](https://www.kingoapp.com/#) users now wonder how to root Android 5.0/5.1 (lollipop) since it has been released for quite some time. "Is there any safe and easy way to root it?", someone might ask. Kingo offers every user of Android 5.0/5.1 a truly one-click rooting experience with both _[KingoRoot Android](https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm "KingoRoot offers the best one-click Android root experience for 5.0 and 5.1")(PC Version)_ and _[KingoRoot](https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/ "Kingo offers the best and free one-click apk root for Android.") (APK Version)_.

It is suggested that you try _KingoRoot (apk version)_ first in that it has integrated several universal and powerful exploits and it is fairly convenient. It can save you the trouble of connecting to a computer via USB cable. But if KingoRoot apk failed to root your device, it is highly recommended that you try again with _KingoRoot Android (PC Version)_, which intergrates more rooting scipts and has a much higher success rate.

    KingoRoot is an exploit-based root tool. If you have no knowledge of "_[Android Rooting](https://www.kingoapp.com/help/android-rooting.htm "Kingo Root")_", well, you should. Kingo exploits system vulnerabilities in order that your device can be rooted, which will be considered by Google or Manufacturers as a malicious act. But it is your choice to choose, to root or not to root. On kingo's behalf, the only thing we can do is that to make sure of our integrity and leave the choice to you.

*   Step 3: Tap the icon of KingoRoot and press "One Click Root" to begin.
