• Optimize the operation of your device, increase the performance of autonomy, overclock the processor;
• Work with applications whose functionality is available only if you have root.

Disadvantages of root rights:

• The ability to receive updates over the air from the device manufacturer disappears;
• The presence of root deprives the owner of the device of the right to warranty service (you can remove root);
• You can delete files, the absence of which may adversely affect the operation of the system;
• There is always a risk to critical errors, due to which the device may permanently fail without the possibility of recovery.

How to get root rights on android: instructions

Types of root rights:

• full root- permanent rights that remove the established restrictions.
• Shell Root- an analogue of the above view with identical capabilities, but without access to the system folder.
• Temporary Root- temporary Root access (valid until the device is rebooted).

Most often you need to get Full Root, which provide maximum opportunities. Be careful after rooting with these features. When removed standard applications you can delete a file, the absence of which will lead to system malfunctions.

You can get superuser rights directly through the Android device itself or using a computer. In both cases, they use special utilities. As an example, consider the two most common programs.

Thoroughly study all aspects and features of obtaining root rights before you start working.

Do you want to rule your own smartphone like a mighty king rules his kingdom? It's possible.

Main features of the superuser

The presence of an unlocked system on a mobile phone allows you to significantly expand it functionality. The very concept of root migrated from Unix systems, from the origins of which the familiar android came to us. If we draw an analogy with Windows, then root is an analogue of logging in as an administrator. Open access to system files makes it possible to make your own adjustments to them. You can highlight the main functions that open to the user with the receipt of root rights:

Kingo Android Root

Kingo Root is a new version of an application that allows you to quickly get administrator rights on any gadget running Android OS. The program is released in two variations - mobile and PC version.

The evolution of methods for opening full access to the device is visible to the naked eye. A year ago, you would have needed to study more than one forum and buy a tambourine.

Installing Kingo Root

First, let's look at the version of the application for mobile platform. In addition to the main purpose, the program boasts a built-in application manager for removing installed and system programs. As a preparatory step, we recommend doing backup all user data (SMS, contacts) and remove the memory card. This will save your data if it is automatically deleted by the application.

Installing Kingo Root on smartphones

There are no tangible differences in the versions of the program, but we still recommend using the version for a personal computer. Judging by the reviews, this approach will increase the chances of getting full access. The sequence of actions when installing on a smartphone / tablet:

PC version of Kingo Root

First of all, install the program on your personal computer. It does not require special settings, you can safely click on the "Next" button.

After installation on a PC, proceed to prepare the device.

1. First of all, enable developer mode:
2. A new "For Developers" item will appear at the end of the "Settings" menu. In it, we are interested in the USB debugging item, to obtain root rights, this option must be activated.
   
3. Another mandatory requirement is the permission to install applications from unknown sources. This option is located in the "Security" section of the smartphone's settings.
   
4. Back to personal computer. You need to run the previously installed Kingo Root program and connect the smartphone to the PC using a USB cable. Kingo Root will automatically scan for active USB ports.
   
5. During the search, you will be prompted to install drivers for the connected device. Please note that for successful completion This operation requires a stable internet connection.
   
6. In the next window, the program will show the full name of your device, the status of root rights. The last step is to click on the Root button at the bottom of the screen and wait for the unlock process to finish.

   

After the installation of superuser rights is completed, your machine will automatically reboot. If this does not happen, we recommend that you reboot manually. As a result, you have unlocked full access to the system on your smartphone.

Covering up traces (removing root rights and root programs)

It was mentioned above that presence of root-rights leads to loss of warranty on the smartphone. Nothing lasts forever and it may be necessary to surrender mobile device to the service center.

The process of removing root rights is simple to disgrace.

You can delete them directly from your smartphone:

If you need a guaranteed result, we recommend that you carry out the removal through computer version programs. If the device is successfully connected, the program will display a window asking you to return the smartphone to its original state. Press the Remove Root button and wait for the process to finish. We strongly recommend that you back up your data before starting any operations with the device.

Uninstalling Kingo Root

Once installed, you don't actually need the program. To remove Kingo Root from the device system:

It should be remembered that during the installation process, the program leaves behind Kingo User - an add-on that allows you to manage the settings open access. In order not to turn mobile phone into a piece of beautiful plastic, we strongly recommend that you do not remove this add-on.

The process of uninstalling the PC version is unremarkable. Standard menu"Add or Remove Programs" will help get rid of unnecessary programs.

Finally, it is worth saying that none of the methods for obtaining open access to the Android system guarantees a result. The mentioned program showed 70% of successfully unlocked devices, as evidenced by reviews on mobile forums. Do not try to get root access yourself if you doubt your abilities.

I think many 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 are root rights and why are they needed at all?

When you buy a new smartphone, you notice a lot of programs on it that, let's say, as they are, you don't need at all. But what happens is you can't delete them. At the same time, they also take up space in memory!
So, root-rights is full access to the system. You can do whatever you want from changing the icon to system application before its removal.

Key benefits of full access:

• the ability to work with system applications;
• the ability to "endow" any of the applications full access to the system;
• unlimited work with the interface: change icons, themes, system sounds, greeting and picture or animation at startup;
• full access to the bootloader, which allows you to change the firmware without difficulty;
• the ability to install applications directly to the memory card;
• a backup copy with all applications that are currently installed in the system;
• a special system manager that allows you to see and edit previously hidden system files.

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

• you will lose the warranty on the device;
• you can damage the operating system if you do things you are not sure about. Therefore: delete, add, change, but only if you are sure that your actions are correct.

Basic ways to get root access

Naturally there is special programs that make this easier. I will conditionally divide them into two types:

• PC programs;
• programs for android device.

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

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

USB Debugging Mode

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

2. Set the switch to the "on" position opposite the "USB Debugging" item. Confirm your decision.

3. After connecting the device to the PC, in the notification bar you will see a message about enabling debugging.

Permission to install from unknown sources
Enter the settings, in the security section. Set the switch to the "on" position opposite the item " unknown sources».

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

Full access via PC software

In this section, I will detail how to root your android device with some PC software.

Root access with Kingo Android Root

1. Download Kingo Android ROOT to your PC.

2. Install the program.

5. When the device is detected and all drivers are installed, click "ROOT". The process of hacking the system will begin. When it's done, restart your device.

I hope you understand everything. Let's move on to the next method.

Root access with VROOT

If you were unable to get root access using the previous program, then most likely your android device is made in China. So try to do the same with VROOT programs. Below is the instruction.

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

4. Connect the device via USB cable. And click the "Root" button. Wait for the root access process to complete.

These are, in my opinion, two the best programs this category. Just follow all the steps as described above and you will succeed.

Full access with Android apps

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

Root access using the KINGROOT program

This is a fairly easy-to-use program, and therefore the most popular.

Root access with OneClickRoot

Unfortunately, this program no longer works for free (a couple of years have passed since the writing of the article). At the office site only paid version for 30 dollars.

This program is much lighter than the previous one and, besides, it tells you immediately after scanning whether it can open root access on your device.

1. I won't tell you much about how to download and install the app. You need to perform all the steps in the same way as the above case. All (including

If you want to dig into the Android system, you may find that many applications require root rights. Recently, there is practically no need to obtain root rights, but still some applications require root rights. This article describes how to open root rights on Android and why you might need them.

Why do you need root rights on android?

Android is based on Linux. On Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, the root user is equivalent to the administrator on Windows. The root user has access to the entire operating system and can do anything. By default, you are not rooted on your Android device, and some applications do not work without root permissions. Like other modern mobile operating systems, Android runs apps in a sandbox for security purposes.

The root user always exists in Android, there's just no built-in way to access it. Getting root rights means that you get access to account with superuser rights. This process is often compared to jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad, but getting root rights and jailbreak are different actions.

Root rights allow you to do many useful things. With superuser rights, you can uninstall or freeze pre-installed applications, launch a firewall, enable tethering even if your carrier blocks it, create backup system and use many other settings that require low-level system access.

Apps that require root access are not hard to find on the Google Play Store, but they won't work until you get root access. Some apps have features that work on rooted devices. Therefore, you need to learn how to open android root rights in order to take advantage of these features.

Warnings

On Android devices root rights cannot be obtained for various reasons. In fact, device manufacturers are trying their best to prevent getting the rights to an Android gadget. And that's why:

• Safety: On rooted devices, apps run outside of the sandbox when running. Applications can abuse the superuser rights that you have granted and climb into other applications, which is usually not possible. Therefore, Google does not approve android usage Pay on rooted devices.
• Guarantee: Some manufacturers claim that after getting root rights, the warranty is lost. However, gaining superuser rights will not break Hardware. In many cases, you can perform a denial procedure and the manufacturer will not be able to know whether the rights were obtained or not.
• Breaking A: As usual, you do this at your own risk. Rooting is usually a safe process, but you do it yourself. If you mess something up, you can't count on free warranty service to fix it. If you are worried that everything will go smoothly, we recommend that you first look for information about successfully obtaining superuser rights on your device to be sure that there will be no pitfalls in the process.

Also, rooting may void your warranty, at least for some repairs.

Several ways on how to open root rights on android

There are many ways to root an android, and which one you should use depends on your phone. In general, rooting will involve one of these processes:

• Bootloader unlock A: Google and device manufacturers don't officially support rooting, but they provide an official way for low-level access to some devices, which allows you to get superuser rights later. For example, Nexus devices are designed for developers and you can easily unlock the bootloader with a single command. And then root download the .zip archive containing the root file through the recovery screen. Nexus Root Toolkit for Nexus devices automates this process. Other manufacturers also offer ways to unlock the bootloader, but only for certain devices.
• Exploitation of a security vulnerability: Other devices are blocked. Their manufacturers provide no official way to unlock their bootloader and tamper with their software. These devices can only be rooted using a security vulnerability that allows a necessary file to be installed on the system partition.
• Installing CyanogenMod or other custom firmware on Android: Technically, this is an extension of one of the above methods. Unlocking the operating system bootloader and exploiting a security vulnerability allows you to install custom firmware, such as CyanogenMod, which are often already rooted. CyanogenMod has a simple toggle in the settings that allows you to enable or disable root access. Upgrade to new version CyanogenMod or other custom firmware will not disable root if the firmware is already rooted.

In this article, we will primarily use the first method, which involves unlocking the bootloader. If your phone requires exploitation of a vulnerability, then we will not be able to help you, as this process is different for each phone. You can search for information on how to root android on the XDA Developers forum. You can use the Kingo Root and Towelroot applications, which allow you to get superuser rights in one click.

Before rooting android, you will need to unlock the bootloader in the official way, and then install the TWRP recovery environment using these instructions. We will be using TWRP to root your phone.

How to download SuperSU to your phone and get root access

So, you have an unlocked bootloader, and you have installed TWRP. Great! You have almost done everything. To get root rights, we are going to use the SuperSU program. This best app, which can grant root access to other applications. SuperSU is also available in the Google Play Store, but this version will not give you superuser rights, it can only be used if you already have root rights. Luckily SuperSU is also available as. zip file, which we can download from TWRP. This will allow you to get superuser rights and install the SuperSU application.

So, to get started, go to this link to download the latest version of SuperSU. Download the .zip file to your computer, connect your phone via USB cable to PC and download SuperSU to your phone.

Next, boot your phone in TWRP mode. This is done differently on different phones, but usually you need to turn off the phone and press and hold the power button + volume up key for 10 seconds, then use the volume keys to go to the item " recovery mode” and press the power button to select it.

Once you do this, you will be taken to main screen TWRP. Click on the "Install" button.

When the process is complete, click on the “Wipe cache/Dalvik” button that appears and swipe the slider to confirm.

When the process is completed, click on the "Reboot System" button to boot the Android system again.

If TWRP asks whether to install SuperSU, click "Do Not Install". Sometimes, TWRP cannot detect that you already have SuperSU installed.

Root management with the SuperSU app

Now that you have learned how to open root rights on android, you need to learn how to manage these rights.

After rebooting your phone, you should see a new SuperSU icon in the application menu. SuperSU distributes rights to applications that require them. Whenever an app wants to ask for root permissions, it should ask your SuperSU app to show that prompt. To make sure that root rights are working, you can download the Root Checker app to check root rights.

For example, let's open and add the Clean Master application, which allows you to clean your device of accumulated garbage. It requires the presence of root rights for more effective cleansing. After starting, you will see a message stating that you need to grant superuser rights. Click Grant.

To manage root rights, open the application menu and click on the SuperSU icon. You will see a list of applications that have been granted or denied superuser rights. You can click on an app to change its permissions.

To remove root rights, open the SuperSU application, go to settings and select the option " Complete removal Root". If this is applicable for your device, then the root rights will be removed.
