Ways to obtain root rights. Gaining full access using PC programs. Preparing to obtain root rights
To unlock hidden properties of your smartphone or tablet, you will need to obtain superuser rights. This procedure is quite simple and will not take much of your time. Let's look at how to get root rights on Android through a computer, as well as without using it.
Methods for opening root access
To activate the Superuser profile on a device running Android OS, many effective applications have been developed that allow you to achieve the desired result with a few clicks. In this case, such software can be divided into two groups:
- Installed on a mobile device;
- Working via PC.
The first method is considered easier to implement, but it is not suitable for all models of gadgets. Therefore, it is recommended to start unlocking root access from there, and if all else fails, you should use the second option.
Obtaining Superuser rights directly from a mobile device
You can activate the superuser profile on Android without a computer using the following programs:
This list can be supplemented with other utilities, but it is the listed applications that are supported by the largest number of tablets and phones.
Unlocking root rights via KingRoot
This program is one of the most universal of its kind, as it works perfectly with almost all versions of Android firmware. To gain root access using it, you will need:
After rebooting the operating system, Superuser rights will appear on the smartphone.
Using OneClickRoot
Unlike KingRoot, this application can be downloaded from Google Play, so you do not need to additionally provide permission to work with third-party software. Otherwise, the procedure for unlocking root access is almost the same:
Opening a Superuser profile using Framaroot
Another utility that allows you to get root rights on Android without a computer is Framaroot. It works like this:
If the chosen method for unlocking superuser rights does not work, try running a similar procedure using Faramir or Barahir.
Obtaining root rights through a computer
If you can’t open the chief administrator’s profile on Android using mobile applications, the only thing left is to use a computer and special activator programs running Windows OS. Such software includes:
- Kingo Root;
- VRoot;
- UnlockRoot.
Before using any of the suggested utilities, you need to do the following:
If the “Developer Options” section is hidden on your phone, open the “Device Information” menu and click on the build number several times. After this, the required tab will become visible. 
The specified software works on the same principle, so once you understand one program, you can easily master the rest. As an example, let's look at how to get root rights on Android via a personal computer or laptop using Kingo Root:
You should be very careful when working with main administrator rights, because they give the user access to Android system data. If you change or erase the wrong file, the operating system may begin to malfunction or crash altogether. Therefore, after using root access for its intended purpose, it is better to completely remove it. This can be done using the same program through which it was received.
When we mention the Android operating system, we always say that it is an “open” system. And this “advantage” is always mentioned when compared with another popular mobile operating system, iOS. For some reason, many users of the “green robot” believe that this is almost an important criterion that tips the scales in favor of their favorite operating system, in the eternal confrontation between “good and evil.” But, in this article we will not talk about this, but about how to remove the restrictions in the “open” Android OS.
Navigation
Yes, they are. And Google has hidden the ability for ordinary users to interfere in many processes. This is done to ensure that vital files for work are not accidentally deleted. But you and I are not simple users, but advanced ones. Therefore, such rights may open up some opportunities for us. We will talk about them and how to obtain “superuser” rights in this article.
“Root” is the administrator account built into the operating system. Using the rooting function, the user of Android devices can remove some of the restrictions set by the manufacturer.
What do root rights give and what are they for?
Superuser rights allow you to work with system files and processes. Having received this opportunity, the user becomes the full “owner” of his device.
Benefits of rooting:
Very advanced Android users can run on their gadgets after the rooting procedure Linux executables.
IMPORTANT: Having root rights will not give your device new functions overnight. However, this will open up the possibility of “working” with your device in this direction.
Why does Google initially block access to system files?
Editing some files of the Android operating system poses a great danger. Due to inexperience, many users can not only “kill” the device at the software level, but also at the physical level. Using incorrectly used “superuser” rights, you can increase the processor frequency. Which can lead to this important part of a smartphone or tablet failing very quickly.
In addition, Google blocks access to some files because they are responsible for displaying advertisements in free applications. And since Good Corporation makes money from this, removing advertising from such applications is not part of the company’s plans.
How to get root rights on Android?
You can become a “superuser” on your gadget in one of several ways. There are also specialized ways to obtain such rights on smartphones and tablets from some manufacturers. Below we will talk about universal rooting methods.
There are three types of root rights:
IMPORTANT: Some manufacturers install the function in their devices NAND lock, which limits the ability to work with the folder \system. In all other cases, the “rooting” procedure is very simple. For these purposes, special programs su (superuser) are used.
Most often used for rooting Framaroot program.
What needs to be done before obtaining Root rights?
Some manufacturers have especially distinguished themselves in this regard Sony And HTC, create additional difficulties when opening access to system files. In order to overcome them, you need to unlock Bootloader. All “problem” devices have their own methods of unlocking this. Let's see how to do this on HTC:
1. Register on the HTC DEV website
After completing the simple registration process, you will receive a letter to your email inbox stating that the procedure was successful. By following the link from this letter you can activate your account on the HTCdev website.
2. On the specified site, look for the Bootloader section
Find your gadget in the drop-down menu or click All Other Supported Models(if it is not on the list). Click Begin to Unlock Bootloader. And we confirm this by clicking on the “Yes” button. If everything is done correctly you will receive adb personal Identifier Token your HTC.
4.Turn off your smartphone, remove the battery from it and put it back. Then press the power button -> hold down the volume down button and the power button on the smartphone. Then, after the menu appears, release the buttons.
In the menu you need to find the Bootloader item (you move to the menu using the volume up and down buttons) and turn it on (on/off button).
5.Connect the smartphone to the PC and:
a) If you choose Adb Run, then we move on Manual -> A.D.B.
b) If you selected ADB, activate “manual entry” and the command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
After entering this command, a list of symbols should appear. Copy it:
And paste it into the HTC web page:
6. A file should be sent to your email Unlock.code.bin. It must be copied and moved to a folder C:/adb/progbin If ADB RUN or ADB (C:/adb)
On your smartphone, select .
8. Move to position Yes and press the button ON OFF
The smartphone should reboot. After which it can be used to install root rights.
Options for installing Root rights
There are several options for installing “superuser” rights on your Android device. This can be done using the Framaroot utility or special programs for a desktop PC.
Installing root using Framaroot without a computer:
- Download Framaroot and save the apk file of this application to your gadget
- Install the Framaroot file downloaded to your device’s memory
- Let's launch the application. A list of possible actions should appear on the device's home screen. This will include obtaining and removing root rights.
- After which the system will ask you to install SuperSU or Superuser (there is no difference between them)
- Select and install. After which a message will appear on the screen indicating that you have successfully obtained root rights.
- We reboot the device and use it taking into account the rights of the “superuser”
Installing root using PC
Not all devices support the Framaroot utility. It is best to install root rights on such devices using special applications for a personal computer. The most popular of them are: Kingo Android ROOT, VRoot And SuperOneClick.
The principle of obtaining such rights is identical for all programs. Below, we will describe it.
- To begin, go to the settings menu and select "Developer Mode". Then turn it on USB debugging.
- We launch the application that must first be installed on the PC
IMPORTANT: If an antivirus is installed on your PC, it may “swear” at this program. Therefore, it is better to turn it off while working with it.
We connect the turned on device to the PC using a USB cable
- We enable the “Install from unknown sources” modes on your smartphone or tablet, "USB Debugging" and uncheck the USB connection from "Camera (RTR)" And "MTR".
- After the program detects the device, press the button "ROOT".
- A message should appear stating that “superuser” rights have been obtained.
- Disconnect the device from the PC and reboot
How to check for Root rights on Android?
When buying a smartphone second-hand, after repair at a service center or in other cases, an Android user needs to find out whether his device is rooted or not. You can do this using one of two options:
- Go to the folder using the file manager /system. There you need to find a folder /xbin and find the file in it su. If this was possible, then “superuser” rights are installed on the device
- Installing the utility Root Checker. With its help we determine whether root rights are installed or not
How to remove Root rights from Android?
Having root rights sometimes results in “glitches” in the operation of the device. The system may freeze, spontaneously reboot, etc. It must be said right away that the presence of “superuser” rights cannot negatively affect the operation of the device, but their incorrect use can lead to problems. They need to be resolved not by removing root rights, but by restoring the system.
As for removing root rights, very often this solution is resorted to when a device that is under warranty breaks down. The presence of “superuser” rights will void such a guarantee. Therefore, before sending your gadget for repair, you need to remove root rights and forget that they were once installed.
There are several ways to remove such rights:
- By flashing the device via a computer. After which you need to reset to factory settings
- If you installed root rights through SuperSU, then remove the “superuser” rights through the settings of this program
- Using the Root Browser Lite utility. Can be downloaded from Play Master
The last method is the easiest. Download and install the application Root Browser Lite. Go to the section /system/app. Delete the application SuperSu.apk or other application files with which you installed root rights.
Now you need to find the folder bin, which is located in the system folder. If it contains files busybox or su, then delete them. Go back to the system folder and go to the folder xbin. If it contains files or folders busybox or su then we delete them too.
Reboot and go to the SuperSu application. Click "Remove Root".
Android 7 Nougat and root rights
In the seventh version of the Android operating system, becoming a “superuser” will become even more difficult. And if previously blocking extended access to a device in Nougat was more of a rumor, then the other day everything was confirmed by one of Google engineers Sami Tolvanen. On the pages of his blog, he announced that the company he works for will take the installation of third-party software more seriously. And in case of suspicious activity, the device will simply be blocked.

If you opened this article, then you probably already have at least some idea of superuser rights. But in that rare case, if you are an ordinary Android user and opened the article out of idle interest, a small educational program.
Superuser rights, also known as root rights (from the English “root”, which means “root”), are the ability to write, change and delete information located in the system (or root) partition of the file system. This concept is similar to administrator rights on Windows and is used on UNIX-based operating systems (Linux, Android, Tizen, etc.)
Root rights can be obtained on almost all Android devices and we will definitely go through the most popular ways to get them, but first let's answer two very important questions: is what we are about to do now safe, and also whether it is worth it.
What are the consequences of obtaining root rights?
Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/vnimanie.jpg" alt=" please note" width="145" height="121" srcset="" data-srcset="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/vnimanie..jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 145px) 100vw, 145px">

First of all, answer the question - did you read the warranty agreement that came with your phone? If you’ve read it, then you know that obtaining root rights is a gray area and whether your warranty will remain with you at the end of the process depends only on the manufacturer’s policy.
Next, remember one thing - being a superuser gives you full access. FULL. That is, if it suddenly occurs to you to delete important system files, no one will stop you. So keep a close eye on which programs are granting you these rights, and also consult with other, more experienced Android users before you do anything stupid.
What benefits can you get with root rights?

The list of things you can do with root rights is simply huge. Just take a look at the most popular reasons for gaining root privileges!
IMPORTANT: The program that allows you to perform this action is indicated in parentheses.
- Removing pre-installed programs a la Facebook or Twitter from the system partition (Titanium Backup);
- Transferring application cache from an internal memory card to an external one (FolderMount);
- Transferring the application section to a memory card (Xposed App2SD);
- Global modification of the interface with the ability to fine-tune (almost all Xposed modules);
- Disable advertising in all applications (Adaway);
- Hacking in-app purchases from PlayMarket (Freedom);
- Disabling license verification in non-hackable applications, as well as hacking them (Lucky Patcher).

And that is not all! In fact, with root access to your phone, you can do almost anything with it. And if your fuse has not yet cooled down, let’s move on to the actual process of obtaining root rights.
Instructions

Unfortunately, you cannot simply enable root access on Android - manufacturers have tried to protect their creations from the crooked hands of users and this is, in fact, correct - otherwise the number of calls to service centers would have increased significantly. But this does not mean that it is impossible to obtain root rights at all. Moreover, for most phones this procedure is extremely mundane and takes only a few minutes.
There are many ways to obtain root rights and, as in our other instructions, we will go from simple to complex.
1. From the device itself
Data-lazy-type="image" data-src="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/google-play-logo-274x300.png" alt="google play market" width="92" height="100" srcset="" data-srcset="http://androidkak.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/google-play-logo-274x300..png 405w" sizes="(max-width: 92px) 100vw, 92px">

Despite the fact that many manufacturers block access to their smartphones as much as possible, hackers from all over the world from time to time find loopholes that allow them to gain rights with just one tap on the screen. And other manufacturers simply trust their users and even publish algorithms for bypassing their protection. It is on this principle that various automatic recipients of root rights are based, the most famous of which is KingRoot.
All it takes to root your device using KingRoot is to press one button. Among the disadvantages, KingRoot is not the most familiar rights manager for older Android users. Instead of the usual SuperSU, KingRoot uses its own program, which, however, is not very different from SuperSU in terms of functionality.
In addition to KingRoot, the Framaroot program is popular, as well as numerous other applications for Android devices, for example, VRoot,
2. Using a PC and special programs

If it is impossible to transmit instructions for unlocking from inside the Android system, this does not mean that this cannot be done at all. At least, programs such as SuperOneClick, Kingo and many others operate according to this principle. As the basis of their work, they use a USB connection between an Android smartphone and a PC, through which commands are sent.

In order to be able to do this, you need to enable the “USB Debugging” option in the settings of your Android smartphone. It is located in the hidden “For Developers” section, and to open this section (if it is closed), go to the “About Tablet” section and click on “Build Version” ten to fifteen times.
After you have turned it on, simply connect your Android smartphone to the PC (in Mass Storage mode, of course) and launch the program of your choice, then follow the instructions for working with it. You will have to think for yourself about which program to choose and how exactly to use it - the number of Android devices is too large for you to be able to say with confidence which ones work with one program and which ones work with another.
3. Using PC and ADB terminal
For those who do not know what adb is, we answer. ADB is a special protocol that allows your Android device to receive instructions from your computer via a USB cable. Due to the fact that ADB is part of the Android system itself, such commands in most cases take precedence over the phone manufacturer's security solutions.
For ADB to work properly with your phone, you will need at least:
- A computer with the Windows 7 operating system (newer operating systems may be unstable or may not work at all with the necessary drivers);
- A set of adb drivers for your device (usually issued by the manufacturer);
- USB cable;
- Actually, a smartphone with the “USB Debugging” option enabled in the settings;
- An archive with an ADB terminal is unpacked into the “X://ADB” folder, where X is a (preferably) non-system drive.

As you understand, the fastest and easiest way to open Root rights on Android is to install a special application. If you have any questions, write to us in the comments below.
If you are an enthusiast of the Google Android operating system, constantly testing some interesting functions of your device; or an advanced user who wants to install and test more new programs on their smartphone or tablet; or even an ordinary user who needs to gain access to some hidden function of the operating system of your Android mobile device, you have definitely come across the concept of “root rights”.
This concept is very important in the Android operating system, and by obtaining root rights you can gain access to many very interesting and useful settings for your phone or tablet. What are “root rights”, how to check their presence and get them if they are absent, and in general - why this root is needed, you can find out by reading the following article.
What are root rights in the Android operating system?
Root user rights, otherwise called Superuser rights (Superuser in English), came to the Android operating system from Unix OS. In this OS, the Superuser has the rights to perform any operations on the device. Accordingly, in the Android operating system, when gaining access to root, all possible operating system settings become available to the user, including those that were hidden before. Let's briefly list what root is needed for?
Superuser of a mobile device on the OSAndroid has the right:
Change any hidden and system files of the OS;
Change, add or remove the splash screen that appears when the operating system boots;
Remove OS applications included in the firmware by the manufacturer;
Integrate your own applications into the firmware;
Change the appearance of the OS interface, including themes, appearance of system interface elements, etc.;
Control the processor frequency of your mobile device;
Create backup copies of device firmware;
Has the ability to install custom (unofficial) firmware;
Optimize system performance and device battery life by fine-tuning hidden OS functions.
As you can see, the list of possibilities for a user who has managed to gain access to root on his smartphone or tablet running Android OS is impressive, and it definitely makes sense to try to get root rights on your device.
What do you lose by gaining access to Root?
Before making permanent changes to your phone or tablet, keep this in mind. When trying to getroot rights You lose the warranty on your device! This operation is considered by the manufacturer to be one that interferes with the intended functionality, and any attempts to hand over your “dead” smartphone while attempting to root it to an official service center will most likely encounter a well-reasoned and legal refusal of service. In addition, even if you contact the warranty service with another problem, and the engineers discover that your smartphone or tablet was previously “rooted,” you may also face a denial of warranty service on completely legal grounds. So, if you are still satisfied with the operation of your Android device, think about whether you really need to install Superuser rights on it.
If something went wrong
If, after you installed root rights, your device began to behave incorrectly, often freeze or produce program errors, you can try to return everything back by resetting the settings. You can do this by going to the "Settings" menu and then selecting "Backup and reset".
If the program has caused a serious OS crash and your device refuses to boot at all, there is a way to reset the settings using the Recovery menu. First, you need to find out how you can access this menu specifically for your device. Usually this is some combination of hardware volume keys and the power button of your device. Then, once in the Recovery menu, go to "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm your choice to erase all data from the device. After that, select reboot. Navigate through menu items using the volume keys, and select an item using the power key.
Sometimes, after obtaining Superuser rights, the antivirus application installed on the phone or tablet begins to complain about the presence of viruses in the system. Don’t be afraid that the program for getting root has brought something bad to your device. The alarm raised by the antivirus is due to the fact that the applications used to obtain root work through various vulnerabilities in the OS, thereby arousing suspicion of system protection software. If something like this occurs on your device, the best thing you can do is simply install another antivirus that will calmly treat the presence of root rights.
How to check if you have root rights?
A newbie who has read about the great benefits of rooting his Android smartphone may be tempted to find out if his device is rooted so that he can gain these access rights if necessary. You can check whether Superuser is activated on a given device in several very simple ways and without a computer.
To get started, we recommend opening the Android program menu and seeing if there is an application shortcut with a distinctive name, such as “Superuser” or “SuperSU”. Many Chinese smartphone manufacturers, meeting users halfway, can install root in their firmware right from the factory, making our lives much easier. And the presence of this application in the system signals us that “rooting” has already been performed and the manufacturer has installed a corresponding application in the firmware to manage root rights.
If you don’t find anything like that, it’s not a fact that you don’t have root rights, it’s just that the system may not have an application to control them. Try checking for root using software methods. For example, you can download the free Terminal Emulator for Android application and enter the command in the command line su. If after entering the command you receive a message "Permission denied" , which means your device does not have root rights. When after entering the command su icon $ at the beginning of the command line turned into an icon # , Congratulations, you are the Superuser of your Android device.
You can also install a simple Root Checker program from the Google Play market, the only task of which is to find out whether root rights are activated on a given device.
After such a slightly lengthy introduction, it’s finally time to find out how you can open access to root rights for Android on a smartphone or tablet with the Android operating system.
Let’s say right away that due to the huge variety of mobile devices running Android OS, as well as their firmware, there is no universal recipe for obtaining Superuser rights. Each Android device has its own characteristics that must be taken into account if you are planning to root it. You may have to try several programs before you can root your device. Below we will talk about the most popular ways to get root rights on Android.
We strongly recommend that before carrying out any manipulations to obtain root, you make backup copies of your contacts, applications, user data, or even the entire system, so as not to bite your elbows later if something goes wrong. You can read how to backup various types of data on Android on our website.
We warn you, dear readers: all actions related to obtaining Root rightson your Android device, you do it at your own peril and risk! The administration of our site does not bear any responsibility for any possible damage or loss of functionality of your hardware as a result of your actions!
One of the popular applications that allows you to quickly and conveniently gain root access to your mobile device is the Kingo Android ROOT program. The program is free and allows you to get root rights in a few clicks.
1. Install the application and connect your mobile device to the computer (which must have Internet access), in USB debugging mode (installation of applications from unknown sources must be allowed);
2. The program will download and install drivers for your device automatically;
3. After this, you will see the “Root” button appear, which you need to click;
4. The system will set Superuser rights and reboot;
5. If everything went well, you have received root rights on your device.
In mobile phones from HTC and Sony, before obtaining root rights, you need to do one more additional operation - unlock the bootloader. This is done easily and simply, in addition, the operation is reversible and at any time you can block the bootloader back if you need, for example, to return the phone under warranty in its original form.
Applications for unlocking the bootloader are also produced by the company Kingo, already familiar to us, and you can download them from their official website:
All you need to do after this is connect your smartphone or tablet to your computer (which must have Internet access), select your Android OS version, and activate USB debugging. After this, the program will automatically install the driver for your device and establish a connection with it. Press the "Unlock" button and wait until the operation is completed. In the end, the only thing left for you to do is click the "Finish" button. Access to Root on your device is open.
The above method is suitable for most devices, but its only drawback is the need to connect your mobile to a PC. What should those who want to “root” their mobile assistant without a computer do? Below we will give examples of several of the most popular programs for obtaining root on different versions of the Android operating system, allowing you to obtain root rights without a computer. Please read the instructions carefully before using them.
ForAndroid 1.5-2.2:
Universal AndRoot (does not work on all models): The application must be copied to the flash card of your device, installed and after installation, press the "Root" button. We reboot the operating system and enjoy the obtained root rights.
ForAndroid 2.3:
Gingerbreak: USB debugging must be enabled on the smartphone (Menu "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB Debugging"). Copy Gingerbreak to a flash card and install the application on your device (only in the main memory). Launch it and click the "root" button, wait until the program completes the necessary operations. If everything went well, the device will reboot, and a SuperUser application shortcut will appear in the Android program menu.
for new versionsAndroid (from 4.x):
KingRoot: The application is in Chinese, but its interface is incredibly simple, so figuring out how to install and activate root rights is very simple. Kingroot includes the KingUser program, which controls root access for launching. applications.
Framaroot: the list of supported devices is limited, but may be suitable for those users who, for some reason, are not satisfied with the work of KingRoot. The algorithm for activating root is also very simple:
Install the program;
Launch it and select the desired application, SuperSU or Superuser;
Select a character;
A window with a smiley face will appear, indicating a successful installation;
Reboot your phone;
Enjoy the resulting Root.
After getting root, “SuperUser” or “SuperSU” applications may appear on your device. These programs do not themselves grant root access, they are designed to control the granting of Superuser rights to each application that may request them. When you launch an application that requires root access, "SuperUser" or "SuperSU" asks you if you agree to give this application root access, and you must confirm your choice.
Keep in mind that simply installing these applications without first “rooting” your smartphone or tablet does not provide root rights.
How to remove root rights on Android if necessary
We have already written above that obtaining Root on your smartphone or tablet with Android OS when contacting an official service center can be regarded as interference with the design provided by the manufacturer, and this will serve as a waiver of warranty service. Or perhaps you want to give your device to someone to use for a while, and you don’t want that person to have too many opportunities to change OS system files and do too much with the smartphone or tablet. In any case, it will be useful to know how to remove root rights from Android.
If you installed root rights using the Kingo Android Root application, you will also find the “Remove root” button in it to return the system to factory settings. Or you can remove root from the OS from the settings of the SuperSU application.
A universal application that allows you to return your Android device to its original state without a computer is the Universal Unroot program. Its interface is extremely simple. You just need to launch the Universal Unroot application installed on your mobile phone and click the “Unroot” button.
Agree with the questions that the program will ask you and wait until the OS reboots. You have removed root privileges from your system. If you need to lock the bootloader that you previously unlocked to get root (as we wrote about above), keep in mind: Universal Unroot will not be able to do this. In this case, use another method to remove Root.
You can also try removing Superuser from your device manually. To do this, use a file manager that has access to the system area (Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, etc.) to go to the folder:
System/xbin/ and delete the Busybox and Su files there;
System/app/ and delete the SuperSu.apk or SuperUser.apk files there;
Restart Android.
So, we figured out why you need root on a mobile device, learned how to check for its presence and how to install Superuser rights on your smartphone or tablet, both using a PC and without a computer. Root rights to Android open up new and very interesting functions of the device, and using this wisely, you can make your Android device much more convenient and functional. Be careful and careful, and everything will work out for the best. Good luck!
