If you opened this article, then you probably already have at least some idea of superuser rights. But in the rare case that you are regular user Android 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 record, change and delete information located in the system (or root) partition file system. This concept similar to administrator rights on Windows and 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?

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?

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 to old people Android users the manager is right. 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 hidden section“For developers”, and to open this section (if it is closed), go to the “About tablet” section and click on the “Build version” item 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. Thanks to the fact that ADB is part of the Android systems, such commands in most cases have higher priority than the phone manufacturer's security solutions.
For normal operation ADB with your phone you will need at least:
- Computer with operating system Windows system 7 (newer operating systems may be unstable or 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 unpacked into the “X://ADB” folder, where X is a (preferably) non-system drive.
I think many of you have heard this expression, but not many understand what it is (not to mention how to do it). Now I will help you figure it out.
The article consists of the following sections:
What are root rights and why are they needed at all?
When you buy new smartphone, then you notice a lot of programs on it that, let’s say, as is, you don’t need at all. But what happens is you can't delete them. At the same time, they also take up space in memory!
So, root rights mean full access to the system. You can do whatever you want from changing the icon to system application before it is removed.
Key benefits of full access:
- ability to work with system applications;
- the ability to “endow” any of the applications full access to the system;
- unlimited work with the interface: change icons, themes, system sounds, greetings and pictures or animations when turned on;
- full access to the bootloader, which allows you to change the firmware without difficulty;
- the ability to install applications directly onto the memory card;
- a backup copy with all applications that were installed on the system at that time;
- a special system manager that allows you to see and edit previously hidden system files.
And the last thing to tell you before moving on to the practical part is this is a warning:
- you will lose the warranty on the device;
- you can damage the operating system if you do things you are not sure about. Therefore: delete, add, change, but only if you are confident in the correctness of your actions.
Basic ways to get root access
Naturally, there are special programs that make this easier. I will roughly divide them into two types:
- PC programs;
- programs for an Android device.
Below I will tell you about the main ones and teach you how to use them. But first you will have to learn how to perform the actions that you will need in any of the ways:
- connect the device in USB debugging mode;
- Allow installation of applications from unknown sources.
USB Debugging Mode
The algorithm of actions is quite simple and similar on devices with any version of Android OS.
1. Go to the settings of your device and select the “Accessibility” section, the “For Developers” item.
2. Set the switch to the “on” position opposite the “USB Debugging” item. Confirm your decision.
3. After connecting the device to the PC, you will see a message in the notification bar about enabling debugging.
Permission to install from unknown sources
Go to settings, go to the security section. Set the switch to the “on” position next to the “Unknown sources” item.
That's it, we're done with the preparation, now let's move directly to root rights.
Full access using PC programs
In this section, I will talk in detail about how to root your android device using some PC software.
Root access using the Kingo Android Root program

Not every user can probably use the first method of obtaining root rights for a smartphone, for example, if there is no computer at hand.
