How to root an android device?

 

           How to root an android device?







                         
 Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other    devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.



       Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming
limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices,         
resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications

and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level
 permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise
inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can
also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the
device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of
its current operating system.

As Android derives from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device
 gives similar access administrative permissions as on Linux or any
 other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

Root access is sometimes compared to jail breaking devices running              
 the Apple iOS operating system. However, these are different
concepts. Jailbreaking describes the bypass of several types of
Apple prohibitions for the end user: modifying the operating
system (enforced by a "locked bootloader"), installing non-officially
 approved apps via sideloading, and granting the user elevated
 administration-level privileges. Only a minority of Android devices
 lock their bootloaders—and many vendors such as HTC, Sony, Asus and
 Google explicitly provide the ability to unlock devices, and even
 replace the operating system entirely. Similarly, the ability
 to sideload apps is typically permissible on Android devices without
 root permissions. Thus, it is primarily the third aspect of iOS
jailbreaking relating to giving users superuser administrative
privileges that most directly correlates to Android rooting.

Thankfully, there's a new Windows utility that makes rooting a
 one-click affair: Kingo Android Root. It's free, and based on my
 initial tests with a Virgin Mobile Supreme, it works like a charm.
 (Be sure to check the compatibility list before you proceed, keeping
 in mind that although the Supreme wasn't on it, the utility had no
problem with it.) Here's how to get started.


             


Step one: Download and install Kingo Android Root(http://download.cnet.com/Kingo-Android-Root/3000-2094_4-75996768.html)

Step two: Enable USB debugging mode on your phone. If it's running Android 4.0 or 4.1, tap Settings, Developer Options,
 then tick the box for "USB debugging." (You may need to switch "Developer options" to On before you can do so.) On
Android 4.2 and later, tap Settings, About Phone, Developer Options, and then tick USB debugging." Then tap OK to
approve the setting change.

Step three: Run Android Root on your PC, then connect your phone via its USB sync cable. After a moment, the former
 should show a connection to the latter.

Step four: Click Root, then sit back and wait while the utility does its thing. The aforementioned Supreme
 took all of about two minutes, including the automated reboot at the end.

And that's all there is to it. If you decide you want to reverse the process, just run Android Root again,
 connect your phone, then click Remove Root.

With that done, now you can take advantage of options like USB On-the-Go to make your unexpandable phone expandable. Hit the comments to share your favorite tricks for a rooted Android phone.
