It is not possible that every user of SGN will be familiar with this root thing. It is sure that most of you have heard the term but some of you have no idea what kind of beast is this.

Every Android phone has a special administrator access. This is controlled by the manufacturer. The users are not allowed to access the core system areas of the handset unlike a PC. Rooting is nothing but hacking to get entry to all areas of your phone. By rooting it you can recover the full right of your phone.

So, you can use special programs and scripts on it which need to have special administrator permission like changing the clock speed of your phone’s CPU or installing a custom ROM.

Why do people root an Android device?

It is because it gives you freedom to do many things with your cellphone which is not possible without rooting. You can use custom ROMs on your phone. Custom ROMs are better than the company supplied ones. You may update your phone without waiting for the manufacturers or carriers whim. You can overclock the cpu to make your phone snappier. You can make your phone run smoother and faster. A rooted phone can support many special apps which are specially developed. In short, the possibilities are endless.

You shall take some special precautions before trying this method –

1) The phone should be charged enough to be on for the entire process. If the phone can not last long to the end of the root, it can be problematic. So, charge it to a minimum level of 70%.

2) It is better to backup your phone with the emails and contacts etc. Otherwise, you may lose data during the rooting.

3) Seek help from an experienced fellow if you are a complete novice.

This guide is an educational one. You shall be sane enough to understand that rooting your phone is not completely risk free. The author or this website will not be held responsible if your phone gets damaged during the rooting. So, you shall have to proceed on your own risk.
