HOW TO ROOT ANDROID
when you root your Android you get access to everything aboard the phone, allowing yo'u to modify the software, optimise performance and delete irksome features, bloatware ,you don't need. Another hug,e advantage of rooting is it allows you to install the latest build of Android on your device. For instance: you've got a Galaxy S3 and just learned Samsung isn't updating it to KitKat. Well, if you root your device, that doesn't really matter, because sooner or later there'll be a KitKat ROM you can flash onto your device. Rooting isn't just for the hardcore coders and hackers amongst us, either. Literally millions of people run rooted Android phones and the reason for its popularity is pretty simple: rooting removes bloatware; rooting can improve battery performance; rooting takes you out of the where's- my-update-loop; and, lastly, rooting grants you more control over your device, which, at its core, is what Android is supposed to be all about.
What You will Need
- An Android smartphone
- The USB cable
- A PC running Kingo Android Root or SuperOneClick
Unlocking The Bootloader
Prior to rooting your phone it's worth unlocking its bootloader. What's a bootloader, you ask? Simple: all a bootloader does is determine what Android loads up on your smartphone and tablet. Once you've done this you can move onto the rooting process. But first, a word on the bootloader...
Not all manufacturers give you access to the bootloader, which is a real pain the ass. Most of the major players such as Motorola, HTC,Sony have given up the ghost and now provide resources for those wanting to unlock their phone?s bootloader
If you're using another device, built by a manufacturer not on the above list (Samsung, for instance), dont worry: it can still be done. All it takes is a quick search on the XDA Developers Forums . Here's how you unlock the Samsung Galaxy S3's bootloader .
Right, Lets Root This Mother!
Okay, you've downloaded Kingo Android Root to your Windows PC. Next you need to go to Settings on your Android phone/tablet and switch on USB Debugging. If you can see ,USB Debugging, make sure you have ,Developer Options switched on , Settings > About Phone > Developer Options > tick USB debugging. Finally, tap OK to approve setting.
Once that's done, attach your Android device to you PC via the USB Cable. Kingo Android Root should recognise your phone (as will SuperOneCLick). Once it does, select the ,Root button and sit back and relax; the entire process should take a few minutes, and you can expect a few reboots along the way. And that's it. Your Android phone/tablet is rooted, opening up a myriad of customization and software options to you. thing.
