What is the right superuser. Why need root rights

I think a lot of you have heard this expression, but not many understand what it is (I'm not talking about how to do it). Now I will help you figure it out.

The article consists of the following sections:

What is root-rights and why are they generally needed?

When you buy a new smartphone, you notice a lot of programs that, let's say, are not needed at all. In one of the articles, we disassembled that prevent your work with the phone. But what happens - if you can't remove them. At the same time, they also occupy a place in memory!
So, root rights are full access to the system. You can do whatever you want from changing the icon on the system application before it is deleted.

It is worth knowing that There are three classes of root rights. Full root-full and permanent rights without any restrictions. Shell root is a permanent root, but without access to changing the system folder (\\ SYSTEM). Temporary Root- temporary root rights.

In addition, depending on the model of the device and its firmware, it is not always possible to get complete rights of the Superwater, in turn, the temporary root can always be obtained. For the most part, Ruta temporary rights provide most applications that are available in PlayMarket.

The main advantages of full access:

• the ability to work with system applications;
• the ability to "endow" any of the applications to the full access to the system;
• unlimited work with an interface: change icons, topics (what can be done not only thanks to the launchers), system sounds, greeting and picture or animation when turned on;
• full access to bootloader, which allows you to change the firmware without difficulty;
• the ability to install applications immediately to the memory card;
• backup with all applications that are at that time installed in the system;
• a special system manager that allows you to see and edit the hidden previous system files.

And the last thing you should tell you before moving to the practical part, this is a warning:

• you lose a guarantee on the device;
• you can damage the operating system if you do actions that are not sure. Therefore: Delete, add, change, but only if they are confident in the loyalty of their actions.

Basic ways to get root access

Naturally, there are special programs that facilitate this business. I conventionally divide them into two types:

• pC programs;
• programs on the Android device.

Below I will tell you about the main of them and we will teach you to use them. But first you have to learn to perform actions that you will need in any way:

• connect the device in USB debug mode;
• allow the installation of applications from unknown sources.

USB debug mode

The algorithm of action is quite simple and similar to devices with any version of Android OS.
1. Go to the settings of your device and select the section "Special Features", item "For Developers".

2. Set the switch to the "Included" position opposite the Usb Debug item. Confirm your decision.

3. After connecting the device to the PC, you will see a message on the inclusion of debugging in the notification string.

Permission to install from unknown sources
Enter the settings to the Security section. Install the switch to the "Included" position opposite the "Unknown Sources" item.

Everything, with preparation finished, now go directly to root-rights.

Full access using PC programs

In this section, I will tell you in detail how to get root rights to your Android device using some PC programs.

Root access using the Kingo Android Root program

1. Download the Kingo Android Root program to your PC.

2. Install the program.

One of the screenshots when installing Kingoroot

4. Next, run the Kingo Android Root program. Only then connect your device to a USB wire PC.

5. When the device is detected and all drivers are set, click "Root". The process of hacking system will begin. When it is completed, restart your device.

I hope you are understandable. Let us turn to the next way.

Root access using the VROOT program

If you failed to get root-access using the previous program, then most likely your Android device is Chinese production. Therefore, try to do about the same thing using the Vroot program. Below the instruction.
1. Download the program from the official site to your PC. Yes, it is worth noting that it is in Chinese, so be attentive. Click to download the green button, as shown in the picture.

2. Now install the program. The installation process is identical to any other, just watch the pictures and follow. Do not forget to check the application to start the application (last screenshot).

3. Now you need to enable USB debugging on your device and allow installing applications from unknown sources.

4. Connect the device via USB wire. And click the "Root" button. Wait for the process of getting root access.

This, in my opinion, the two best programs of this category. Just perform all actions as described above and everything will turn out.

Full access using Android programs

In this section, I will show how to get root rights using Android programs. All actions will need to be performed directly from your Android device.

Root access using Kingroot Program

(Since the article was written earlier, today, the application interface has changed somewhat. The bottom will be described the old option to obtain the root of rights, and in the second part of the article we will describe the capabilities provided to us today. It is important to note that the process of installing the program and receiving root rights - did not change).

This is a pretty simple program, therefore the most popular.
1. First download the installation file from the official site directly from your device (it will be easier than from the computer). Click "Free Download". Confirm the file saving. The screenshot is clearly visible the address of the site, and also shown what to do. In the notification string you can see the download status.

Note: When downloading the installation file, it is desirable to have a connection to a high-speed Internet via WiFi.
2. Now you need to install the application. Before this, solve the installation from unknown sources. Then go to the download directory and click on the appropriate file. Everything is shown in the pictures, be careful.

3. Now install the application by clicking on the Install button.

4. Find the Kingroot application label on one of the desktops. Click on it to start. Immediately, the application will begin to define the model of your device, and also whether it has no root rights.

5. Now that the definition is over, click on the "TRY TO ROOT" button to get root rights. And wait for the restart of the device, which will tell you that the process of hacking the system is over.

King Root Update

In the updated version of the program, the developers gave proper security, namely, the built-in protection against malicious software, optimization of loading processes, improving systemic capabilities that accelerate smartphones. After executing previously described steps, the user will see the following download window:

So, in the right corner will be the information about the status of your root rights. A field of this feature is available to track the authorization of a number of applications installed on the smartphone and monitor their access to the system directory.

The starting window is as follows:

By clicking the "Security" button, Kingroot optimizes all processes and displays a report:

ROOT-access using OneClickroot Program

Unfortunately, this program no longer works for free (from the moment of writing the article has passed a couple of years). At the office Website only paid version for 30 dollars.

This program is much easier than the previous one and, moreover, it immediately informs you about whether it can open root access on your device.

1. I will not particularly tell how to download and install the application. You need to perform all actions similar to the case described above. All (including the official website) can be seen in the pictures. Just follow the instructions.

2. After opening the application, you will be offered to get root. Therefore, click on "Root Device". Then scroll your device for whether the program can open root access to its system. If not, you will see a message as on the third screenshot. You can click on "Notify Me" if you want to be informed about when the program can help you.

3. If you still have the opportunity to provide you with root-rights, you will see such a screen. Click "Root Device".

Root toolcase - get the root opportunities with one click

This is a universal application that allows you to configure and manage a smartphone without any restrictions, remove unnecessary utilities, and much more without the presence of the root of rights. After installing the program with PlayMarket, we will see the following window:

It is important that this program does not roll the device, but provides a number of systemic capabilities that are not available without installation (information from developers in the image below).

The starting window of the application invites us to choose the desired, namely:

The user can configure the process of launching a smart, access a secure mode if problems arise, as well as reset to factory settings, pressing just one key.

1. App Manager.

Allows you to edit the installed applications (including system) and even remove that malware, which is not available to delete with embedded protection systems.

1. Additional system settings.

The ability to work in the ADB development environment using wireless networks, mounting partitions, language change, etc.In the build.prop Editor editor, it is available to change the ROM properties. The installer feature is available for flash devices, which makes it possible to customize almost any functionality on the phone, thereby making it completely individual.

Toverloop.

A kind of "veteran of the root." The well-known application running on almost all devices with an old android firmware (up to version 5 inclusive). Despite this, it is very popular because the ruting process is possible in one click. The list of devices available to upgrade is on the application site.

Rooting android 7 and above

Traditional methods for obtaining super-user rights on new types devices do not always give a positive result. Installing the application will only manage some functions of the smartphone, but not to become Super SU.

We provide a brief guide for version 7 and higher.

1. Unable to unlock the bootloader on the smartphone. Depending on the model and firmware, this procedure will be slightly different.
2. Go to "Developer Mode" (Again, depending on the model, this menu item can be in different places) and turn on the "USB debugging".
3. Download to your PC Wednesday Development - Android SDK Platform Tools.
4. At a specialized site we find the custom firmware you need for your smartphone, usually TWRP.

5. After flashing, our initial TWRP window is loaded, select the Recovery Mode item using the audio adjustment keys, confirm the selection - point pressing the power button.

Brief results

Slightly above, I told you very detail how to get the root access to the system of your Android device, as well as that in general this root access.

I provided you with detailed instructions for working with the most popular efficient software. But know that there are other programs. Try, if it does not work with one, then it turns out on the other. Good luck!

An article on how to get a root on Android devices, why need a root and what may be the consequences of ruting.

All Windows users are accustomed to the fact that they are on their own computer, for the most part, are full owners. You can install almost any programs and games (limitations only in hardware stuffing and version of the OS), produce a thin system setting or its modification ...

After the first acquaintance with the touch Android device, many "Windows Windows" observed some confusion :) It turns out that in the default and the default is quite a lot of different restrictions, and to remove them, sometimes you need to "shock" quite a lot of information on the Internet.

When my Samsung Galaxy Y's smartphone appeared, I immediately strained two things in it. The first is a very small amount of memory assigned to applications (only 100 with excess megabytes). The second disadvantage was the presence of a whole heap of every third-party and unnecessary software for me, which could not be easily taken and removed (customers under classmates, Facebook and others like them).

In order to solve the problem with the place, it was decided to find a way to delete pre-installed applications. Searching for various advice on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that for this I need to get root-rights on my smartphone. Actually, about this, frightening many newbies procedure, we will talk in our article.

What is Ruth and why is it needed?

In the Linux operating systems (android, there is also a rather much of all opportunities in terms of settings. One of them is strictly distinguishing the rights to access individual files or entire catalogs and functions. In Windows, such features also have (editing file attributes and credentials), however, most often we do not use them, working at a computer with a single account - administrator.

Roughly speaking, the analogue of this account in Linux is the mode of superuser or simply "root" (Root - root). The Superwater account in UNIX-like systems has the default "root" login and the UID ID is zero.

Having root rights you can perform any actions in the OS. However, in this and the main prompt lies. If you are not well well known to know the features of the system, then with the active root you can easily spoil it, deleting or renaming only one file. And if you consider that a virus or other user who has gained access to your device can do this for you, then risks are risks at times!

It is based on such logic that most of the manufacturers of modern Android devices do not give the user root rights. Moreover, if you do root, you will lose a guarantee on your device! Another side effect of the root is also the fact that you will not be able to receive system updates from the Internet. Well, in the most running cases, an attempt to get a root can bring your device into disrepair.

Looking a bit in advance, I want to immediately say that for many smartphones and tablets, the routine procedure can be negotiable :) That is, if necessary, we can replace the superuser account again and in the system there will be no tracks of the root.

And now let's see what we can get when unlocking the license of the superuser:

• ability to install any applications;
• the ability to edit and modify any system files;
• the ability to delete any pre-installed programs;
• the ability to set third-party customized firmware and mods;
• the possibility of thin system settings by turning on / off various additional functions (for example, SWAP activation).

As you can see, getting the superuser's rights is a procedure for more advanced users who are at least a little understand in the intricacies of their system's work and want to improve something in it. If you use your device only for calls and surfing on the Internet, then the root you, in fact, nothing :)

Ruting options

1. Usually, under the receipt of the superuser rights, the full root is implied. This type of routine is saved in the device after numerous reboots and provides full access to all system directories and files. A sign of the successful completion of the routing of the device in this case will be the appearance of the SuperSU or SuperUser application for visual management of rights and requests from other applications.
2. Temporary root. This type of ruting involves obtaining the superuser's rights for a while before rebooting. It is useful for performing one-time tasks, such as removing unnecessary applications or set any tweak. This routing does not install anything and after rebooting the device does not leave any traces. Unfortunately, not supported in all devices.
3. Ruth shell (shell root). This type of routine allows you to obtain constant superuser rights, but from full root differs in that it saves the system folder (/ system) blocked. Like TEMPORARY ROOT, you can not get on all devices.

What is characteristic, root rights in your device may be initially, therefore, before starting "dancing with a tambourine", you can check it. Go Google.play and enter the "Root Checker" phrase or go to a direct link and install the application of the same name. Run it and click on the highest line with the name of your device. After a couple of seconds, the program will give the verdict):

As you can see, we have no superuser rights (I destroyed the phone in advance for the purity of the experiment :)). Therefore, now, when we know the whole theory, it's time to go to practice. You can get the root on android in two ways: directly from the device itself using the application and connecting to the PC via the USB cable. Consider each of the ways.

Applications for obtaining root rights

A couple of years ago, in order to get the root on a smartphone or tablet, it was necessary first to find a driver to him, then find the program for the routine, set it up, and then try to get the rights of the Superwater. And it did not always come out and not the first time.

Today, the above algorithm remained fair only for outdated and Chinese devices. Get the root for most modern and popular Android devices has become a pair of clicks! Moreover, connect something somewhere does not even need. It is enough just to install the application and activate it on the device.

I bring to your attention some similar applications. Since they are designed to modern devices, then not everyone worked on my Samsung Galaxy Y, but, nevertheless, thanks to one of them, it was possible to get a root, so ... so ...

- official site .
This application is one of the most popular on various forums and it, almost in the forefronts advise to try to obtain root rights on modern devices. The application features include the selection of the root manager installed (SuperUser or SuperSU), several routine algorithms for different devices and the function of removing the superuser rights (HANRUT).

Unfortunately, the application refused to work on my phone. Therefore, so that you do not get into the same situation, first check whether your device is in the list of supported on the official website.

z4root - official site .
This tool is also recommended on numerous forums. Like Framaroot, it allows you to get and reset the root of the right to one click. But in addition to complete root, it can produce temporary, which adds it advantage! However, on my smartphone, this application did not start at all and fell out with a mistake, so saying something more than it is on the forum on the link above, alas, I can not.

Un-rooting - The latest version of APK file (UN-Rooting 2.1).
Another handicap on the topic of routine without a PC. By title it is clear that in the first place the application is oriented just on the cancellation of the superuser rights. However, as it turned out, it can and give these rights. By the way, this is the only application that gave me Ruth on Samsung Galaxy Y! But first things first.

When I found it on Google.Play, it seemed quite dubious to me. This was facilitated by screenshots only in Chinese and an assessment of 3.2 points. Moreover, most estimates were either "5" or "1" :) But, nevertheless, I decided. After starting, an English screen appeared with three sections:

The first section contains a reference to reference materials, which, in fact, are not needed. The latter allows you to write a letter to the developer. But the average - just what we need. There are two buttons here: "un-rooting", which will be active in the presence of root-rights and allow them to remove, as well as "re-routing". The latter just implies the activation of the maintenance mode. Click it and confirm all requests.

After successfully completing the installation of the root and SuperUser application, the latter will ask us to provide superuser rights for our un-rooting. Let me allow access and see that now the "re-routing" item has become inactive, and instead it turned on the first, which allows you to remove the root if necessary:

In addition to the applications mentioned above, you can find a number of others. Perhaps one of them is suitable for you. Therefore, if you did not manage to rut a device using the programs described above, I recommend entering a request type "application to obtain the root of rights to (the name of your device) in the search engine. Perhaps you will find something useful in your case.

Thus, by summarizing our experience, we can say that the advantage of obtaining root rights with the help of applications is that they cannot in principle lead to a breakdown of the device and do not require its reboot. That is, to include and disable the superuser rights, we can directly "on the fly", which is convenient in some cases when Ruth is not needed.

However, not all devices can be rolled in this way. Therefore, we consider the traditional routine algorithm below.

Obtaining root with PC

As mentioned above, this method of obtaining superuser rights is one of the oldest. It implies fill to your special exploit device (script) that sets the "SU" executable file to the / System folder and a number of utilities, such as those who are already familiar to us by the SuperUser and SuperSU managers, as well as, optionally, the BUSYBOX terminal application.

There are quite a lot of programs that allow you to get a root on android with PC, however, I would recommend using Kingo Root. This utility has a fairly large database on the popular smart devices models, automatically downloads drivers to work with your device and can both provide the right of superuser and cancel them (that is, doing hornrh).

To begin with, download the program from the official website or from our archive and install it. After installation, the program window will start in connection standby mode:

To connect on your device, go to "Settings" - "Applications" - "Development" (or in new versions of "Settings" - "for developers") and activate the "USB Debug" option there. You can now connect the device to a computer using a USB cable. If the Kingo Root program recognizes your machine, it will start loading the driver for it, what will be notified:

When the driver appears the main working window, in which the current status of root rights and two buttons will be displayed, allowing you to remove root or reinstall it:

Actually, to obtain the right of the Superwater, you need to click the right button "root" or "root again" (if the root rights are already there, but do not work as needed). On this, your actions and end :) It remains only to wait until Kingo Root copies all the necessary files to your device and starts it to reboot.

After rebooting the root will be ready. It will be clear by the fact that a new - SuperSU will appear in the list of applications. There will also be another application under the name Kingo Root. This is a utility by which the computer passed the team during the routine. It can be deleted if the root rollback procedure is not planned (although, even if you delete, then when you repeatedly connect to a PC via Kingo Root it will appear again).

If you are the owner of a smartphone from China, then for such devices there is a specialized utility - VROOT. The last one (which you will find in the archive) finally began to maintain English, so it is easy to understand what it will be not difficult to obtain the root there will be only one button).

In addition to Chinese phones and tablets, VROot also works with most popular branded models (its database has more than 8,000 devices). However, to resort to the use of this utility, I would advise only when other methods did not work. Just the problem is that Vroot establishes with the superwater rights also a number of third-party utilities on Chinese (they can, in principle, delete), as well as a non-standard Chinese root manager Kingroot.

Replace it with a normal SuperUser or SuperSU can be only manually through some file manager. To do this, you will need to do the following:

1. Download SuperSU and rename APK file in SuperUser.apk.
2. Pour the resulting file to the device's memory card.
3. Using the file manager, replace this file file in the / System / APK folder.

In principle, the described actions are easy to perform, but these are all extra televiations that could not be needed, we use one of the simpler solutions.

Ruth through recovery

In the last way, get a root (if all previous ones did not work) can be obtaining the superuser's rights using the built-in device recovery system (in the commoner - recovery (from the English Recovery).

Here, alas, there is no universal way. You will have to re-read the popular forums for your device model and, most likely, somewhere in the depths of the discussion (or in the header, like on 4pda.ru) you will find several archives with names, type, recovery.zip, root.zip, superuser .zip or something like that. Next, the algorithm is as follows:

1. The archive suitable for your device needs to download on the device's flash card, in its root (directory / SD).
2. Turn off the device and enable in recovery mode (usually where you download the archive, writes how to do it in your device model). For Samsung Galaxy Y, for example, the launch in the recovery mode is made with the central button and the sound increase key.
3. Select the APLLY UPDATE FROM SDCARD menu and start our archive to execute.
4. Wait for the completion of copying all files and rebooted.

An indicator of successful root will be, as in all previous cases, the appearance of the root manager (SuperUser or SuperSU).

conclusions

In the article we tried to consider all options for obtaining root rights on android devices. The only unaccounted way, which was not said about, is still complete refirmation of the device on an alternative firmware, in which the root is originally. However, it is a rather radical measure.

I think you, read the article, will understand that the root is not so terrible, as it is small :) to get the right of superuser for Android today it has become quite simple and safe today. And most importantly - for free;) This will help you with the archive to this article in which we have collected all the above-mentioned applications and programs.

If you have a desire to get full control over your device, you in most cases can do it yourself without any titanic effort. However, at first, still think and call at least three reasons why you need a root;) called? Then I wish you success!

Android folted the world. This operating system from the American Internet Giant Google is installed on most of the mobile devices of various price categories. It is it that applies to the most attractive scheme, so it can establish any manufacturers.

To access the hidden settings you will need to get the right of superuser.

Android is a full-fledged operating system, so it can be done with its help a variety of tasks. We will not consider the system capabilities in detail now. If you have questions, we advise you to read. In order to fully enjoy all the features and hidden settings, you need to get root rights to Android. In this article, consider what root rights are represented, as well as all available options for obtaining them.

What do you need root rights

First we will talk about the principle of operation of the system. When the user starts the work, the system activates its account in which the basic settings and preferences are saved as well as installed programs. Due to this there is no need to re-configure the device after each inclusion. If you synchronize your tablet or smartphone with Google Account, the parameters and application list will be saved on the remote server of the company.

Most users are quite sufficient to set up the apparatus settings that are provided by the developer. For full control over the file system and settings, as well as for the ability to complete the device, account with root rights is required. In Linux, the branch of which is Android, this is called the "superuser mode", in Windows - the administrator mode. If there are enough computer accounts with a password of the account (Windows) or enter it if you need system settings (Linux), then in mobile you need to implement certain procedural steps to get root rights.

What exactly gives their presence?

• Absolute control over the system system.
• Ability to change system applications, delete or replace them.
• Transformation of the desired applications to systemic.
• Advanced features of creating a full-fledged backup.
• Changing the download menu to install new firmware or modification of the existing one.
• The possibility of fine configuration of the appearance of Android.
• Transferring system applications to a memory card in the case of its small volume in the device.
• Full removal of unnecessary applications.
• Removing advertising not only in the browser, but also in all applications.
• Improved processor and equipment operation.

The list is not complete, you can list many more advantages that superuser's rights gives. But is it easy to get them?

ROOT rights options

The fact is that Google together with the top manufacturers in every way prevents the process of obtaining root rights. First, the user appears the opportunity to turn off advertising, and Google earns on it very well. Secondly, the company believes that most users have curved hands, and if they have a root, they will definitely spoil something.

There are several ways to get root rights. In some cases, you can do with one mobile application, in other you will need a computer and a special routing program. Also, the superuser's rights can be obtained by entering the Recovery mode. The universal method, effective for each apparatus, does not exist.

Types of root rights

Depending on the type of apparatus, you can get one of the types of root:

• full, or Full root - working constantly and without any restrictions, providing full access to the system partition; You can change everything at your discretion;
• partial, or shell root - also works on, but has a number of restrictions, the most significant of which is the lack of access to the system section of the files; Many opportunities are inaccessible;
• temporary, or Temporary root - gives full or partial access to the entire file system, but only before the first reboot of the device; After re-enabling root flies, and you have to repeat the entire procedure again.

Android app

The easiest way to get root rights. You only need to allow the installation of programs from unknown sources (for this, activate the appropriate item in the Settings menu - Security), download the installation file of the application, install it and run. After that, you should perform all actions that the program requested. Usually the whole process takes only a few minutes.

The most famous:

There is another software. If you do not succeed in achieving the result with the above programs, try to find others.

Computer program

It also allows you to quickly get root rights for several clicks on your computer. Algorithm for obtaining rights through a computer:

There are several programs, the most popular of them - Kingo Root, OneClickroot, Vroot. If you can't cope with your device with a single program, you can try another.

Using Recovery Mode

The way is simple, but requiring certain skills and attentiveness, because if you do not comply with one of the conditions or accidentally skip any step, you can only complicate your life. Recovery mode is a recovery mode that allows you to make a reset, clean the system cache or install the update if incorrect work. It starts most often by simultaneously pressing the power and volume buttons when the device is turned on. The combination may differ. To get root in this way, you will need:

• download a zip archive with modified files, called update.zip, and copy it to the root of the memory card;
• log in Recovery mode, go to Install Zip From Sdcard - Choose Zip From Sdcard and select your archive;
• after the process is completed, press Reboot System Now to restart the device.

As far as you are confident in our abilities, we recommend clarifying information specifically by your model on specialized forums. So you will protect yourself from possible unpleasant consequences.

Possible risks

Despite many advantages, there are several greasy minuses:

• Your warranty is automatically canceled. In case of breakdown, you will have to repair completely at your own expense.
• It becomes impossible to automatically update the firmware through the device menu.
• There is a risk of bringing the device in a non-working condition.

Recently, manufacturers produce increasingly improved, which are practically not amenable to hacking.

Conclusion

As you can see, getting root rights for Android procedure is simple, but in some cases irresistible difficulties may arise. We strongly advise you to explore the pages of your device on profile forums, for example, w3bsit3-dns.com..ru or XDA-Developers.com. There you will find comprehensive information about all possible difficulties, comments from specialists or experienced users and more accurately decide which method you will fit the best - through a computer or on the device itself. Do you plan to get root rights for your device? Do you think they need them? It is interesting for us to know your opinion this account.

Many probably heard of some "root" that he gives something, but did not understand what kind of beast was so and how to get it. Let's try to deal with all questions on this topic and decompose everything around the shelves.

Let's start with what it is.

All Android phones initially give their owner incomplete rights for their use, that is, the originally the owner of the phone is considered not an administrator, but a simple user without access to the system partition. Such an approach is a deficuous precautionary measure from the fact that an inexperienced user can delete or change some important system file and simply turn your phone into a technological brick, up to the need for a hike to the nearest service center.

However, there is for those who received the root and their cons.

First, the steered phone is removed from the warranty, and any repair will have to be carried out for their blood. Secondly, the process of obtaining the root for some phones may be quite complicated, and sometimes it is impossible at all (users of the latest HTC are generally especially tormented with the receipt of the root). Thirdly, the universal way to get the root for all Android devices is not, however, the same methods work for part of the models. And most importantly, if something goes wrong in the process of obtaining root, the phone can turn into a brick, so carefully read the instructions and strictly follow them!

If you have not decided after all the above, why do you need root, then it is not necessary to get it.

Due to the varying methods for obtaining the root, we give references to methods for obtaining for various devices (if your device has not been in the list or questions arose, write in the comments, add a link to it and help with the receipt of the root).

Android operating system is known for its openness and "fatigue" - an inquisitive user with root rights for android It may well modify it yourself and turn your smartphone / tablet in the Terminator (well, or in a brick, if something goes wrong).

However, when you try to get to Android system files, it issues a warning that without a superuser's right, which are also called root rights or simply "root", will not do anything. And therefore it remains only to "dig in their sandbox", generously limited by the manufacturer and the developer.

However, get root rights can still be possible. And then the user will finally be able to play with system files, removing Android completely modified the operating system as he wants.

What is root access and superuser rights

Any android device owner knows that it can only work with files on a memory card (or in the built-in storage).
