Some users have noted that the KingRoot website is no longer available, but you can install KingRoot directly from APK Pure or any rooting app.

Wink Relay Hack - Rooting and Google Play Store - All Services Working! *** Step by Step *** How to

This video will demo each step till it’s all done which is to follow after you watch the other WINK HACK Video which is shown at the bottom. This will also work if you want to use it for Smartthings and rooting is at your own risk, these videos are just help guides and does not take any responsibility. Now got that out of the way :)

First download and install from APKpure a rooting program. Install and run the root feature, do not install the security features as this will remove the button at the bottom and disable a few other things that are needed.

Next download the Google Suite ZIP to your PC.

Make sure the “Developer / USB Connect” features which are showed in the Wink TIPS video for ADB Connect are enabled. This allows for ADB connect to work with accepting the connection

Install a program called Airdrop on your PC and Airdrop on the Relay from APKpure or a similar program that lets you copy files remotely over to the relay. A few other programs offer this so any will work like TeamViewer etc.

You can use Linux or Windows command prompt (First install “adb“ for windows or Linux, just google it) apt get or download .exe

Type the following from the prompt (shown in video)

Adb connect WINKIPaddress:5555
Adb shell
You should see "shell@edison_dvt:/ $"

Type the following commands (following steps in video on timing)

Note: shell@edison_dvt:/ $ SU (Might prompt on relay screen to allow permission (I didn't need to)
shell@edison_dvt:/ $ su
root@edison_dvt:/ # cd /sdcard
root@edison_dvt:/sdcard # mkdir gapps

Now you have to copy the downloaded file over to /sdcard/gapps then unzip the file so the 3 folders and one file are in the root of /gapps. This is where you will use airdroid or a similar program to copy the files over. After you copy it you will then need to extract it using "easy unrar" or a similar program. After you extract it copy the folders and file over to /gapps root as it should look like the following
sdcard/gapps/system
sdcard/gapps/optional
sdcard/gapps/META-INF
install-optional.sh

Each folder should have folders and files

Now type the following commands one by after the root prompt as shown here and follow the video for timing as well.

Notes / TIPS: In the video it shows it being done from the /GApps directory which you can ignore as well as the uppercase letters you see in the video, has no bearing since the commands were run in the actual directory. You can run them from either the root or the actual directory does not matter. "LS" is to list files, "CD .." is to back a folder and "CD SDcard" will go into or "CD SDcard/gapps" etc.

Commands to run: (mounts, sets permissions, copies files and reboots)

root@edison_dvt:/ # mount -o rw,remount /system
root@edison_dvt:/ # cp -R /sdcard/gapps/system /
root@edison_dvt:/ # chmod 755 /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh
root@edison_dvt:/ # chmod -R 644 /system/app/*
root@edison_dvt:/ # chmod 755 /system/app
root@edison_dvt:/ # reboot

After it reboots you will see the play store now in the apps folder and after opening you will be asked to login to the store. The other google apps will update and become stable about an hour or so, this is normal and will stabilize. All apps get updated and function as they should.

That’s it enjoy! Please subscribe and please give a thumbs up!

Here is the first video to watch as you need to modify the stock relay first.
