How to root your android???

           Rooting is just the same as jail breaking iOS. Basically it means giving you the super user privileges. Once your android is rooted you can run apps that require lower level systems permission  and changes of your os.  

Caution

“ROOTING IS NOT ILLEGAL, BUT CERTAINLY VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY “

1.       Check which version of android your running.

2.       If you are unlucky and running v2.1 aka Éclair. I’m sorry I’ve dealt with v2.2 or above only.

3.       For v2.1 you’ll have to downgrade to v2.0.1 and follow a series of steps manually.

4.       Or one could try simple one click root tools like z4root etc.

5.       Problems faced are all phones are not supported by one click tools. So before rooting Google “Phone Model + version + root “.

6.       For people using v2.2, z4root works fine for software version v10a , v10b.

7.       I couldn’t root my optimus one v10c using z4root.

8.       Universally gingerbreak apk works fine for all software versions.

So once you have chosen your one click tool. Follow these steps to root.

1)      Copy the downloaded apk to your sd card.

2)      Use any file manager to navigate to the location of the downloaded apk file.

3)      In case of z4root make sure it is placed in sdcard:\downloads folder only.

4)      Install your apk. Make sure your antivirus is disabled as it can potentially raise bugs while installing.

5)      Once installed , open the app and you’ll find options

1.       If z4root:  You’ll have options to do a temporary root and permanent root

i.         Temporary root stays until next reboot.

ii.       Permanent root stays until unrooted or new original firmware flash.

2.       If Gingerbreak: You’ll have options of root device and unroot device.

6)      Just click the appropriate choice and let the system do the job. Max 5 min you’ll have a rooted device in your hand.

7)       If any problems faced , leave your comments.
