Do you want to carry out the root of your Android device, but you don't know where to start? In this article we first explain in simple terms what ROOT is and then we show how to root your Android mobile or tablet, regardless of the model and brand: Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, HTC One, LG Optimus, Motorola, Google Nexus, Sony Xperia, etc ...
What does "Give Root Permissions" to the device mean?
The "root" of the Android device is the process that allows you to run the Android operating system on mobile phones, tablets to achieve privileged control (root access or root permissions) in the Android subsystem. It is similar to running programs as "administrators" on Windows or giving administrative permissions on Linux.
Why is there a need for Root on Android?
There are many situations that require Root permissions on the Android device, for example when you want to:
1. Overcome the limits that hardware operators and industries place on devices.
2. Get the ability to change or replace applications and system settings.
3. Run special applications that require administrator-level permissions.
4. Perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible
5. Facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system.
If you need to root Android phone for deleted data recovery we recommend that you try the program first UltData Android that is able to recover deleted data WITHOUT root.
After you have rooted your Android phone or tablet, you will have full access to the entire system and can run multiple applications, disabling bloatware, checking app permissions, enabling tethering, and doing a bunch of other things.
How to Root your Android smartphone or tablet?
How do you enable Root permissions on your Android phone? It does not matter the model and brand of your Android mobile or tablet, eg. Samsung Galaxy S21/S20/S10/S9/S8/S7, Samsung Galaxy Note, LG G8/G7/G6/G5/G4/G3, Samsung Galaxy J3/J5/J7, Huawei P7/P8/P9/P10/P20/P30, HTC One, LG Optimus, Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD, Sony Xperia, Google Nexus, or others ... you can try the following methods to “root” your Android!
- Automatic root via TunesGO
- Manual root with SuperOneClick
- Manual Root with Odin and TWRP Recovery
NB: For many models of ANDROID mobile phones / tablets, it is essential to perform the ROOT before unlock the Bootloader. The Bootloader is a software present in the mobile phone and which allows you to start the operating system: if this bootloader is blocked it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to root the phone. To unlock the bootloader on SAMSUNG mobiles it is very simple:
Step 1. Log in to Settings of your Samsung and then scroll down to the bottom of the list to click on Phone information
Step 2. Click on “Software Information” and then click 7 times BUILD VERSION until a warning appears that developer mode has been activated
Step 3. Go back to Settings, go to the bottom until you search and click on Developer Options.
Step 4. Search and activate options OEM UNLOCK and also DEBUG USB
SOLUTION 1: ROOT VIA TUNESGO
TunesGo is one of the best "root software for Android" currently present because it allows you to enable root permissions on the Android device in a very simple and fast way. It supports almost all devices and models from Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, LG, Huawei, Acer, Google, etc….
TunesGO features:
- Compatible with all Android versions from 2.1 upwards.
- 100% safe to use when rooting.
- DOES NOT compromise the warranty of the Android device.
- It supports over 3000 models of Android phones and tablets.
- Allows you to backup and restore data before and after rooting
Download and install TunesGO on your Windows PC from the following button:
Install and run the program.
Connect your Android to your computer via USB and follow the directions that will appear on TunesGO until it is correctly detected. Once recognized, from the program access the TOOLBOX tab and from here click on the function ROOT 1 CLIC
In a few minutes your Android device will be “rooted”!
SOLUTION 2 - "MANUAL" ROOT (for expert users)
CASE A) USE OF SUPERONECLICK
Before you start, follow these steps:
1. Download and install Java JDK on your PC (if it is not already installed)
2. Download and install the Android SDK on your PC.
3. Install the right USB drivers for your device.
4. Connect your Android device to PC with a USB cable.
5. Enable USB debugging on your device by going to Settings> Applications> Development and checking the “USB Debugging” box.
After doing all the above steps, you can follow the following tutorial on how to root on android.
1. Download SuperOneClick from the official website: shortfuse.org and double click on it to launch it.
Note: SuperOneClick is a very simple software to root different Android devices
2. Click the "Root" button in the SuperOneClick window. Then SuperOneClick will take a few minutes to root your Android device.
3. Restart the Android device after finishing the root. SuperOneClick will automatically install the SuperUser app. Allow or deny this request when an app on your device tries to gain root permissions.
4. Open the Superuser app to check the saved permissions.
After all the steps are done, you can do whatever you want on your Android device with root permissions, such as recover deleted or lost data from Android device.
CASE B) USE OF ODIN and TWRP RECOVERY
Another "manual" solution that you can use to enable root permissions on Android devices is that of install TWRP Recovery on the Android device. TWRP Recovery provides the necessary tools to flash and customize your Android device and also helps to enable root permissions by flashing the file SuperSu.zip
1. To flash the Android device you must first download Odin and the TWRP recovery file from the official website.
2. Now put your Android device into “bootloader mode” by pressing the Home, Power and Volume Down keys at the same time.
3. Now connect your mobile phone to the PC via USB. Once Odin is opened it will automatically detect the device and the ID: COM indicator will turn blue
4. Click on the AP button and select the TWRP file you downloaded earlier
5. After uploading the file, click on “START”. The system will show a “Pass” message to indicate that everything is working correctly
6. Now download a stable version of SuperSU which is essential to root. Copy and paste the SuperSU.zip file into your mobile phone memory.
7. Now you can also disconnect the phone from the PC and put it in "TWRP recovery" mode by simultaneously pressing the Home, Power and Volume Up keys.
8. Once you have entered "TWRP recovery" mode and click on "Install". Select the SuperSU file you saved on your device and install it.
9. Wait until the process is finished. Then restart your device.
I tried to do the root process with tunesgo, after a few minutes the phone restarts and the pc tells me the operation failed ... Could you tell me why?

Not all Android devices are "rootable". Especially the newer models.

I have an android Oppo Reno z4 can I root with odin and twrp?
Hi, the WI-FI of my Galaxi J5 smartphone no longer works following the installation of various data recovery apps (call history) and related operations to enable usb debugging: that is, the toggle does not turn on and it always remains obscured even after have uninstalled those apps.
Reboot, airplane mode etc. already tempted: where can one act?
Once the bootloader is unlocked and the root process is activated, what data is lost? Do apps like google play store and other apps already installed on the phone remain or are they deleted?
Guys you need to unlock the botloader before starting the root process !!!

Hi I tried but it can't root so I turned on developer mode and USB debugging
Hello
i have a samsung A6 can i use MOBILEGO?
-
Si
The first "mobilego" method managed to root the "zopo speed 7" on which I had tried dozens of programs for rooting without success, the only remaining hope was with the use of ADB and fastboot, with the risk of losing all data and having to reinstall everything. Instead, mobilego did the miracle in less than 5 minutes.
Bravo.
But in option three java and andriod sdk what are they for? since in the guide it is written to use superoneclick?
why does it take so long? sometimes mobilego tells me to check the screen for a request sent for root, but nothing came to me and the device restarts and then there is always the message loading. how can I do?
-
It means that root on that device is not yet supported ...
sorry I can't root huawei p8 2017, neither from tunesgo nor from mobilego, to then be able to use dr fone for data recovery, I wanted to know since the data to be recovered is very important to me, if the purchase of the package is decisive complete with dr fone which also includes the root of the smarfone, or might it still not be able to have recovery results? Has anyone purchased and verified differences?
-
Once rooted, you can always use the demo version of dr.fone to see if it finds any recoverable data.
For the root also try KingoRoot which is free.

I HAVE HUAWAI MATE 8 WITH ANDROID 7, CAN I ROOT USING THIS METHOD?
THANK YOU
Hello. I have a samsung s8 with exactness sm-g950f you still can't root?
Thank you
-
Give it a try with the demo version of the program. Being a new model, you may have to wait a little longer before the program is updated to support it.
-
Hello
I tried but nothing, I wait when there will be updates,
Thanks for the moment.
-
Hi, I found that to root with the first method, you need an internet connection, and so I assume that you also need it for the second; I have only the cell phone that I use as a hotspot and I am unable to do so. I wanted to know if the manual version also uses the data. Thank you.
hi, I have a zenfone 3max with this build (ww_phone-13.1.0.51-20170309) updated yesterday and from the various technical sites I visited, first of all xda do not give the root feasible at the moment due to lack of the suitable scater, while I read here and on a youtube video guide it is feasible…. what do I do? I would not like to hustle and throw away the cell just taken.
So I tried the first method with the Sony Xperia M4 AQUA model E2303 but it didn't work.
It tells me something like "root access in progress" after which the smartphone disconnects from MOBILEGO and restarts several times. The computer screen always remains "root access in progress". I waited for half an hour but nothing… Suggestions?
I would like to ROOT to install applications directly on external memory.
If I use MOBILEGO how long does it take to ROOT the Sony Xperia M4 AQUA model E2303?
Hi!
I have a Sony Xperia M4 AQUA smartphone model E2303.
Before trying the first method I have to ask the author of the article one thing: what happens if you root? Android asks me to enter any passwords? Are new options appearing in the phone on “settings”?
-
No, the password is not asked. I recommend that you read this article to understand what happens:
https://www.{marca_origen}.com.com/conviene-root-android/
[…] 12) If all the above points do not solve the problem of blocking the scan, and if your Android does not have Root permissions, then carry out this operation as indicated in this article: https: //www.{marca_origen}. com.com/come-fare-root-su-android/ [...]
do both operations for the root also apply to the samsung galaxy tab 3 lite SM-T110?
-
Si
About how long does it take with the first method?
-
5 minutes
Hi, can you root Asus Zenfone with mobile go? If so, do I run the risk of erasing all phone data?

-
Yes it is feasible ... however you can check compatibility using the demo version of the software. With root there is no risk of deleting the data

I take advantage of your experience, to make room on my device I deleted the "Snapchat" folder in the "various files" section of my phone ... I realized only after I had deleted all the photos that were in the "Snapchat" album of my tunnel. Will I be able to recover these photos by unlocking my device and then using Wondershare dr.fone, despite having deleted them in this unconventional way? Thank you
