Rooting ANY Android Phone Clear Explain :

Rooting Your Android Phone:

To begin, you’ll want to root your Android phone using the instructions below. You might be wondering, “What does it mean to root my phone?”. Rooting means that you’re adding back superuser permissions on your phone (so you’re jailbreaking your Android phone).

When you have root permissions, you can add, change, or remove anything in the Android operating system. For example, you can uninstall apps that you don’t ever use, that normally wouldn’t be able to be deleted as a regular user.

A Linux function was removed from your phone, and when you root your Android, you’re adding that function back. The su (Switch User) file is what changes when you root your phone, making you a superuser.

Important:

Using this method from your direct account could result in Google blocking your ability to access the Play Store. As such, it’s recommended that you create another account and follow the steps below.

Another important thing to keep in mind before rooting your phone is that, once your phone is rooted, you are solely responsible for your phone’s security through Android and any and all apps you have installed.

For more information on the benefits and possible risks of rooting, read the notification that pops up when you install the KingoRoot App using the instructions below.

Before You Get Started:

It is important that you make sure you have all these things in order before you try to root your Android phone, whether you’re rooting it with a Personal Computer or not:

• Your phone is turned on.

• Your battery is charged at least 50%.

• You can connect to the Internet (Wi-Fi recommended)

• Your phone will allow apps from unknown sources to install. You can change this setting on your phone through the following menu options: Settings > Security > Unknown Sources.

Follow These Steps to Root Your Android Phone:

These are the instructions you’ll follow if you’re rooting your phone without using a Personal Computer.

1. Go to Settings, then Security, then hit “Unknown Sources”.

2. Download the KingoRoot app on your Android phone. If you get a pop-up box saying “This type of file can harm your device. Do you want to keep KingoRoot.apk anyway?”, 
click “OK”.

3. Install and open KingoRoot.

4. Hit “One Click Root” on the main screen.

5. Wait a few moments until the result screen comes up. This will tell you if the rooting was successfully completed or not. If not, please go back to Step 4 and try rooting again.

If you have tried to root your Android phone multiple times and still aren’t able to, please try rooting your phone with a Personal Computer (using the instructions below), as this tends to be more successful.

How to Root Your Android Phone Using a Personal Computer:

1. Download the KingoRoot Android App (PC version) on your computer.

2. Open the KingRoot Android App on your computer.

3. Using a USB cord, plug your Android phone into your computer.

NOTE: If you have Windows 8, you may get a message saying “Driver Installation Looping”. Please see the instructions below on how to resolve this.

4. Enable USB Debugging Mode on your Android phone. You will get a pop-up box on your phone asking you if you want to allow USB debugging. Click “Always Allow From This Computer”, then click “OK”.

5. Read the possible risk notifications before rooting your phone.

6. Click “Root” to start the rooting process. This may take a few minutes, and your phone may restart multiple times. This is normal and to be expected.

NOTE: While the rooting process is underway, it is important that you refrain from touching, moving or unplugging your phone.

7. After your phone has been successfully rooted, you’ll see a screen that says, “Root Succeeded”. Again, please do not do anything to your phone until it has successfully restarted.

8. After your phone has restarted, you will usually see an app called “Superuser” on your menu screen.

Not Sure Your Phone has Been Properly Rooted?

You will want to install a root management program, like Root Checker, to ensure that your phone has been successfully rooted and you are now a superuser. You can download Root Checker or other programs like it from the Google Play store.

How to Resolve “Driver Installation Looping” Message for Windows 8 Users:

2. Click “Advanced Options”.

3. Select “Windows Startup Settings”.

What to do if Your Phone is not Supported by KingoRoot or if it Still Won’t Root:

2. Save the KingoRoot Android log file. You can do this in the KingoRoot app by going to Settings on the upper right and clicking “Save Log”.

3. Send the log file, the model and build numbers of your Android phone, kernal version and whatever else you think is relevant to include to KingoRoot at support@kingoapp.com. They will investigate the reason for the error or failure to root and follow up with you accordingly.

4. Follow KingoRoot App on Facebook, so you can respond to posts or message the company directly.

5. If you still can’t get your phone to root, have a friend with a rooted Android phone install the app you want and transfer it o you using Bluetooth.

4. On the top part of the screen, below the menu, click a button that says “Save current settings”.

5. On the top, in the middle, you’ll see a button that says “Settings List”. Click this button.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind:

• Being able to successfully install an app doesn’t mean that it’ll work. It’s recommended that you check your Android device’s compatibility with that app before installing it.

• If you’re browsing for apps on Google Play on your Android phone, you won’t see incompatible apps appear in your search results. However, if you’re looking through the Google Play website (as opposed to the Google Play app), you may see incompatible apps.
