What is "Root". exactly?
You've probably heard of people "rooting" their Android phones, but don't know what is it exactly, right? Actually, rooting, for those of you that don't know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. But from a technical level, rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a means of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved (by Google) apps, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize just about anything, and so on.
After rooting your Android phones & tablets, you'll have full access to the entire system and can run special types of apps that require root permissions. What's more, you also have the ability to use some Android recovery program to find back your lost or deleted data from Android phones and tablets.
Is the allure of being a superuser tempting you? It is undeniable that Android rooting opens up a world of possibility, but it can also void your warranty, or even leave you with a bricked device. The important thing is to be careful. Furthermore, some manufacturers or carriers will use rooting as an excuse to void your warranty. But actually, rooting will never damage your hardware. And you can "unroot" your device all the time, and these manufacturers can't distinguish the device if it is been rooted. So when you decide to send your device to factory for repair, just simply flash the original backup ROM you made.
Now, let's us to see how to root your Android devices in detailes!
