SmartphoneHow to Root or Jailbreak Your Smartphone
If you're looking to break free from the limitations imposed on your smartphone by its manufacturer or carrier, you'll need to root or jailbreak it. Here's how. #root #jailbreak #android
Rooting is the process of gaining full control of your Android device. Once you've rooted your phone, you'll be able to install custom ROMs, remove bloatware, and enjoy other benefits of having a superuser account.
Jailbreaking is similar to rooting, but it's specific to iPhones and other iOS devices. Jailbreaking gives you full control of your device, including the ability to install custom apps and tweaks that aren't available through the App Store.
Both rooting and jailbreaking can be tricky procedures, so be sure to do your research before proceeding. And remember, rooting or jailbreaking will void your warranty.
If you're still interested in taking the plunge, here's a general overview of how to root or jailbreak your smartphone.
Android Rooting
There are a few different ways to root an Android device, but we'll focus on the two most popular methods: using a rooting app or using a computer.
Rooting With an App
There are a handful of rooting apps available, but we recommend KingoRoot or One Click Root. Both apps offer a simple interface and step-by-step instructions, so even if you're new to rooting, you should be able to get the job done without any problems.
Before you begin, it's important to note that not all Android devices can be rooted using an app. If your device is not compatible with either of the aforementioned apps, you'll need to follow the instructions for rooting with a computer (see below).
To root with KingoRoot or One Click Root:
Rooting With a Computer
1. Download and install the app on your device.
2. Open the app and follow the instructions for rooting your specific device.
3. Once the process is complete, your device will reboot and you'll have full root access.
Rooting with a computer requires more steps and a bit more technical know-how than using an app, but it's often the only way to root certain Android devices. If you're not comfortable following the instructions below, we recommend sticking with a rooting app (if your device is compatible).
To root with a computer:
1. Download and install Android SDK Tools on your computer. This will give you access to ADB and Fastboot, which are necessary for the rooting process.
2. Enable USB debugging on your device. This can usually be done by going to Settings > Developer options > USB debugging. If you don't see a Developer options menu item, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. This will enable Developer options.
3. Connect your device to your computer via USB cable.
4. Open a command prompt or terminal window and navigate to the folder where you installed Android SDK Tools. Then type adb reboot bootloader and press Enter. This will boot your device into Fastboot mode.
5. Type fastboot flashing unlock and press Enter. This will unlock your bootloader (which is necessary for rooting). Note that this will erase all data on your device, so be sure to back up anything important first!
6. Type fastboot reboot and press Enter. This will reboot your device back into Android.
7. Download and install SuperSU on your device. This will give you root access. That's it! You've now successfully rooted your Android device.
