What can you do with rooted Android? (best options). Other Android Rooting Apps

You have rooted your Android smartphone or tablet. Everything seems to be good. But what to do next? What are they needed for? Let's say you got them to hack games. Played enough already, what's next, eh? The fact is that root rights are analogous to administrator privileges on Windows. These are called superuser rights.
So, imagine that you are a superman holding the key to any door. Have you presented? Excellent! Now, let's move around the huge house in search of the right room.

Break Android

Yes, yes, with the help of root-rights, you can thoroughly damage your device, and not only in the software part, but also in the hardware. If the software is disrupted, then, for example, the CPU clock speed can be raised (by unlocking the core) to an unacceptable level (although there are hardware limitations). And at this level, for example, a continuous peak load will be given. And that's all, you can say goodbye to your electronic pet. Of course, you won't do this by accident, but hurting someone is easy.
And, as for self-sabotage, it is very easy to drive a smartphone or tablet into the bootloop state, when, when turned on, the device will "hang" on the startup screen saver. Wow, you will be delighted. But don't cry, run straight to the RulSmart forum, to the Android first aid section and beg for help. Although they always help for free, some of them pray for some reason, they are strange, yeah.

Reservation

Hook you to the core! Yes, now you have the possibility of total backup of your data, you can also make a full backup of the firmware with user data directly from your smartphone or tablet. The power is directly felt, right? In addition, you can make backups of all your software, and then roll them up, for example, after resetting the settings. One of the programs that can do all this, subject to the availability of root rights, is Titanium Backup. The utility is so ancient that its beard can hold up to 20 kg of nuts.

Custom kernel

Now your smartphone or tablet from the Chinese basement calls you my lord, is that correct? If not yet, then it's time to flash a custom kernel to bend the system! The custom core will open the doors to the basement for you, where there is a dumpster! Infa, weaving! Thanks to this trix, you can increase or decrease the clock frequency of the processor or set up very flexibly, like the back of a gymnast, the operating modes of the chipset. For example, for the unlock screen, set the frequency 800 MHz - 1 GHz, and for work with the 1.3 GHz interface, for applications - the maximum available clock frequency or 80% of it.
Feel like the crown is being put on your head? So that!

Hacking games

Ahaha, at the very beginning we considered this and, they say, you are already tired of playing with toys, but while you were reading this, you felt like it again, huh? Therefore, we do not interrupt - we listen to every letter from the article. The trick is that some programs for hacking games on Android ask and beg (for mercy) for root rights in order to change the configuration of the application, for example. If you don't have superpowers, then you will simply be sent and the attachment will close along with your lip that rolled out.

Removing system applications

You bought a Chinese smartphone or tablet, and these "friends" have sewn a bunch of junk into your favorite device that cannot be deleted. And sometimes viruses are also shoved. Yes, I lied. What is there sometimes, constantly, it has already become a normal practice. With this, even Bluboo dabbles in the fact that they need to be impaled, and then again, and again! By the way, UMI is on the same count, but on a first come, first served basis. We take seats, we don't push.
So, with root rights, you can delete it all to the dog, you understand? For example, through the System App Remover program or something like that, there is enough such rubbish. Then do not forget to delete this software, the killer has done his job - a new killer is needed, right?

Modifying system files

Oh, here guys you can just pick up all the rings of omnipotence. You go to build.prop like this and start changing the brand / model of your device there (this is at least). What for? A few hours ago, YOU went to Google Play, and he, the bastard writes, they say your device is not supported (to install a game). Ha! This is how we write brand = Samsung, model = Galaxy S8. And who is not supported here now, idiots?

In fact, this is a very small fraction of what can be done with a superuser sword. If you have any other ideas or comments - welcome to the comments, puppies.

Now, any person purchasing a smartphone begins to face a number of problems, namely, pre-installed applications that take up a lot of space, cause discontent among many customers. Now, smartphone owners have decided that they need to make their own adjustments to the Android operating system, this can be done by simply setting Root rights to their smartphone. Today we will figure out how this can be done, the most reliable methods that have already been in demand among members of the public will be described.

There are now two ways that you can easily grant the device administrator rights.
1) This is using a special program that must be installed on a personal computer or laptop.
2) Using the device itself, through a specific application.

There are cases when only one of the methods allows you to achieve the result, and therefore we will take a closer look at each of the two methods.

Obtaining higher rights using a utility installed on the computer.

Kingo Root is one universal computer program responsible for granting Root rights to devices running on the Android operating system.

To download this software, you need to go to the official website of the developer, and there select the platform for which the download will be carried out. In our case, the platform is the Widows operating system.

After downloading, launch the installer, and there click on the "Next" button.

After that, put a check in front of the item "I have read the terms and conditions, and I agree with them", and again click on "next".

We indicate the daddy into which the software will be installed, or leave everything unchanged, and again click on "Next".

After this stage, it remains only to press constantly "Next".

At the end, click on the "Install" button.

We are waiting for the program to complete the installation to perform other actions.

After the program has been launched, you will need to proceed directly to obtaining Root rights. To do this, you will need to connect the USB cable from your computer to your smartphone. On the phone, open the USB connection settings, and there put a checkmark next to the item - "USB debugging".

After that, in the running program on the computer, click on the Root button, and wait for the program to perform all the manipulations itself, namely, to install the necessary drivers, and reboot the device.

During installation, you cannot do any manipulations with your smartphone. Even if it seems to you that nothing is happening, you should never touch it. This operation usually takes a long time.

If there is no personal computer nearby, and you need to get Root rights, then you need to use the second method:

Installing Root rights through an application on a smartphone.

First, go to a site like www.framaroot.ru. There you need to download the latest version of the program in order to start working with it later.

If you download the application through a browser from Google, then there is a possibility that the program will give you information that the downloaded file is unsafe for your computer and can cause serious harm. We ignore this message, because it does not contain reliable information.

After the file has finished downloading, we move it to the memory card of our smartphone and install it, for this in the settings, we allow the installation of applications from unknown sources.

After the installation is over, you need to start the software, and proceed with the actions

Firstly, you need to choose which method of Root rights you need to use, and secondly, indicate the main character who will supposedly carry out this process. Everything is selected from a ready-made list loaded into this software.

If, you have done everything successfully, and you managed to achieve the result, then you will see the relevant information in the form of a separate message.

It also happens that the installation could not be completed, and administrator rights were not obtained.

It is important to remember some golden rules that must be followed while working with this operating system. Firstly, if you manage to get such rights, you need to understand that you should limit yourself in deleting some system files. For example, if you affect the performance of system applications such as the smartphone keyboard, Camera, and so on, it may cause the device to stop responding to your requests, or it may not work correctly. It is better to make adjustments to such values ​​that you can confidently figure out in case of a problem, otherwise, having broken the phone, you will have to take the device to a service center and repair your own mistakes at your own expense.

New Android OS comes with a lot of additional software. Many of them are not needed by the user, and they can be removed without harm to the system, thereby freeing up disk space on the tablet / smartphone. But for this to be installed root rights on Android. Having received extended rights, you can not only get rid of unnecessary programs that are in the assembly, but also change the OS settings for yourself. Mobile device owners can root in a variety of ways, but not all of them are easy and secure. Are there any surefire ways to get root privileges?

Methods for setting root rights for Android users

Root rights for Android can be set in two secure ways.

1. Using the .apk application on a mobile device.
2. Using a computer program (you will need to connect to a personal computer).

Both the first and second methods of rooting tablets, smartphones on Android are reliable, but for some users only one may be suitable, so it is worth considering both.

How to Root Android Using PC Software

Multifunctional program Kingo root for OS Windows has recently been increasingly used to obtain root rights. Users appreciate it for its efficiency, safety and versatility.
The installation file for the program can be found at. Click " download for Windows»And wait for the automatic download.

Immediately after the installation is complete, you can start rooting Android. To do this, you need to run the program and connect it ( this is done via a USB cable).

The next step is to connect your smartphone to your computer. On the smartphone, you need to allow USB debugging... Check the checkbox in the menu, and if it does not appear, configure via USB connections.

The next step is installing drivers and rooting. You just need to click "Root", the program will do the rest by itself.

It is important! You cannot stop the program, restart the computer or turn off the smartphone, even if you do not see the installation process. Rooting Android on computers of different capacities can take place differently, sometimes the installation process can take quite a long time. Don't do anything, just wait until rooting is over.

Getting root rights using the program installed on the device

Not every user, probably, can use the first method of obtaining root rights for a smartphone, for example, if there is no computer at hand. In this case, there is a second way: the application can be installed not on the computer, but on the smartphone itself. An updated and improved version of the application for root-rights of Android devices without a PC can be downloaded at.

If you are using the Chrome browser, do not be intimidated by the framaroot insecurity pop-up warning. The downloaded file will have the extension not .exe, as for a computer, but .apk. Move it to the memory of your smartphone or tablet.

This program will not install as it should, because it was not downloaded from the Play Market. Android devices are not allowed to use other applications for security reasons. Therefore, you should allow the installation of the program by changing the settings of your smartphone.

After the changes have been made, the application can be installed. Find it in File Explorer and open it. Activation will take some time.

In the activated application, choose one of two programs (the set also includes a magic hero).

If you see an emoticon, rooting has been completed successfully.

But it also happens in another way. In this case, the second method did not suit you. But do not despair, there are many ways to root, and it makes sense to try several.

What you need to know when getting root rights on Android

Rooting allows you to control your tablet / phone in advanced mode. You get the rights to change settings and remove unnecessary applications. All additional programs that came with the package can be removed.

Important note! Do not overdo it when uninstalling programs. If you do not know their purpose, it is better to leave it unchanged in order to avoid incorrect operation of the OS. And if you accidentally delete, for example, the camera or keyboard, it will cause interconnected applications to malfunction. But deleting system files is fraught with sad consequences.

There are elements that affect how many important applications work. And if you suddenly want to delete the Android gallery, because there is no need for it, you will not be able to use many useful programs. They either won't start or won't work as they should.

You have done rooting correctly, now you can control your smartphone by making changes to settings and parameters. But any actions of a user with advanced rights must be considered.

When using Android devices, users often note the inability to stop some programs that overload memory, or the problem with the inability to install an application from outside the Play Market. Because of this, it becomes necessary to expand the range of permissible actions. This can be done by rooting the device.

To access advanced functions, the user will need to install special software on a mobile device or PC. This procedure can be dangerous for the phone and lead to the loss of the saved data, therefore, first save all important information on a separate carrier. The installation should be carried out in accordance with the instructions, otherwise the phone may simply turn into a "brick". To avoid such problems, it will be useful to read the next article.

Let's move on to how to get root rights to Android through a computer or without its participation.

Step 1: Checking for Root Rights

Before proceeding to the methods described below for obtaining superuser rights, you should check their presence on the device. In some cases, the user may not be aware that root already exists, and therefore should read the following article:

If the test fails, review the following methods to get the capabilities you want.

Step 2: Prepare the device

Before you start rooting the device, you may need to install the drivers for the firmware if you are using a non-"pure" Android. This is required so that the PC can interact with a mobile device (relevant when using programs for flashing from a computer). The process itself should not cause problems, since all the necessary files are often available on the website of the smartphone manufacturer. The user only needs to download them and install them. A detailed description of the procedure is given in the following article:

Step 3: program selection

The user can use the software directly for a mobile device or PC. Due to the peculiarities of some devices, the use of applications for the phone may not be effective (many manufacturers simply block the installation of such programs), which is why you have to use software for your PC.

Android Apps

First of all, you should consider applications that are installed directly on a mobile device. There are not so many of them, but this option may be somewhat easier for those who do not have free access to a PC.

Framaroot

One of the simpler apps that provides access to superuser functionality is Framaroot. However, this program is not available in the official Android application store - Play Market, and you will have to download it from a third-party site. Many devices with the latest OS versions do not allow the installation of third-party .apk files, which can cause difficulties when working with the program, but this rule can be bypassed. How to work with this program and properly install it is described in detail in the following article:

Baidu Root

Another application for obtaining Superuser rights, downloaded from third-party resources - Baidu Root. It may seem unusual due to poor localization - some of the phrases are written in Chinese, but the main buttons and symbols are translated into Russian. The program is quick to work - in just a couple of minutes you can get all the necessary functions, while you only need to press a couple of buttons. However, the procedure itself is not so harmless, and if used incorrectly, serious problems can be encountered. A detailed description of working with the program is already available on our website:

PC software

In addition to installing software directly on a mobile device, you can also use a PC. This method may be somewhat more convenient due to its ease of use and the ability to carry out the procedure with any connected device.

KingROOT

User-friendly interface and intuitive installation process are one of the main advantages of KingROOT. The program is pre-downloaded and installed on the PC, after which the phone should be connected to it. To get started, you need to open the settings and allow USB Debugging... Further actions are performed on the computer.

The program will analyze the connected device and, if rooting is possible, notify about it. The user will have to click on the appropriate button and wait for the end of the procedure. During this time, the phone can reboot several times, which is an essential attribute of the installation. After the completion of the program, the device will be ready for use.

Root Genius

Kingo root

The name of the program may seem similar to the first item on this list, but this software is different from the previous one. The main advantage of Kingo Root is a wide range of supported devices, which is important if the previous programs turned out to be useless. The process of obtaining root rights is also quite simple. After downloading and installing the program, the user only needs to connect the device via a USB cable to the PC and wait for the program scan results, then press just one button to get the desired result.

The above information will help you root your smartphone without any problems. However, it is worth remembering that you must use the resulting functions with care to avoid problems.

If you want to dig into the Android system, you may find that many applications require root rights. Recently, there is practically no need to obtain superuser rights, but still some applications require root rights. This article describes how to open root rights on Android and why you might need them.

Why do you need root rights on an android?

Android is based on Linux. On Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, the root user is equivalent to a Windows administrator. The root user has access to the entire operating system and can do anything. By default, you are not rooted on your Android device, and some applications will not work without superuser privileges. Like other modern mobile operating systems, Android runs sandboxed applications for security purposes.

A rooted user always exists in Android, there is simply no built-in way to access it. Getting root rights means that you gain access to the account with superuser rights. This process is often compared to jailbreaking an iPhone or iPad, but rooting and jailbreaking are different steps.

Root rights allow you to do a lot of useful things. With superuser rights, you can uninstall or freeze preinstalled applications, start a firewall, enable tethering even if your carrier is blocking it, create a system backup, and use many other settings that require low-level access to the system.

Apps that require root privileges are not hard to find in the Google Play Store, but they won't work until you get root privileges. Some apps have features that work on rooted devices. Therefore, you need to learn how to open root rights on android in order to take advantage of these functions.

Warnings

Android devices cannot be rooted for various reasons. In fact, device manufacturers are trying their best to prevent the Android gadget from getting the rights. And that's why:

• Safety: On rooted devices, applications go beyond the sandbox when running. Applications can abuse the superuser rights you have granted and interfere with other applications, which is usually not possible. Therefore, Google does not approve of using Android Pay on rooted devices.
• Guarantee: Some manufacturers claim that after getting root rights, the warranty disappears. However, gaining superuser rights will not break the hardware. In many cases, you can perform the de-rooting procedure and the manufacturer will not be able to find out if the rights were rooted or not.
• Breaking: As usual, you do this at your own peril and risk. Rooting is usually a safe process, but you do it yourself. If you screw something up, you can't count on free warranty service to fix it. If you are worried that everything will go smoothly, we recommend that you first look for information about successfully obtaining superuser rights on your device to be sure that there are no pitfalls in the process.

Plus, rooting can void your warranty for at least some repairs.

Several ways on how to open root rights on android

There are many ways to root an android, and which one you should use depends on your phone. In general, getting root will involve one of these processes:

• Unlocking the bootloader: Google and device manufacturers do not officially support rooting, but they do provide an official way for low-level access to some devices, which allows you to get root privileges later. For example, Nexus devices are for developers, and you can easily unlock the bootloader with a single command. And then get the root of the rights to download the .zip archive containing the file for obtaining the rights through the recovery screen. The Nexus Root Toolkit for Nexus devices automates this process. Other manufacturers also offer ways to unlock the bootloader, but only for certain devices.
• Exploiting a security vulnerability: Other devices are locked. Their manufacturers do not provide an official way to unlock their bootloader and tamper with their software. These devices can only be rooted by exploiting a security vulnerability that allows the installation of a required file on the system partition.
• Installing CyanogenMod or other custom firmware on Android: Technically, this is an extension of one of the above methods. Unlocking the operating system bootloader and exploiting a security vulnerability allows you to install custom firmware such as CyanogenMod, which is often already rooted. CyanogenMod has a simple toggle in the settings that allows you to enable or disable root access. Upgrading to a newer version of CyanogenMod or other custom firmware will not disable root privileges if the firmware is already rooted.

In this article, we will first of all use the first method of enclosing an unlocked bootloader. If your phone requires exploitation of a vulnerability, then we cannot help you, as this process is different for each phone. You can look up information on how to root android on the XDA Developers forum. You can use the Kingo Root and Towelroot applications, which allow you to get superuser rights in one click.

Before you can root android, you need to unlock the bootloader in the official way, and then install the TWRP recovery environment using these instructions. We will be using TWRP to root your phone.

How to download SuperSU to your phone and get root access

So, you have the bootloader unlocked and you have installed TWRP. Excellent! You have almost done everything. To root we are going to use the SuperSU program. This is the best app that can give root access to other apps. SuperSU is also available in the Google Play Store, but this version will not grant you superuser rights, it can only be used if you already have root rights. Luckily SuperSU is also available as a .zip file that we can download from TWRP. This will allow you to get superuser rights and install the SuperSU application.

So, to get started, follow this link to download the latest SuperSU. Download the .zip file to your computer, connect your phone via USB cable to your PC and download SuperSU to your phone.

Next, boot the phone into TWRP mode. On different phones, this is done in different ways, but usually you need to turn off the phone and press and hold the power button + the volume up key for 10 seconds, then, using the volume keys, go to the "Recovery Mode" item and press the power button to select it ...

Once you do this, you will be taken to the TWRP home screen. Click on the "Install" button.

NOTE: you need to backup twrp before proceeding.

The following screen will appear. Scroll down and navigate to the zip file you downloaded earlier.

Click on the zip file and you will see this screen. Swipe the slider to confirm the installation.

When the process is complete, click on the “Wipe cache / Dalvik” button that appears and swipe the slider to confirm.

When the process is complete, click on the "Reboot System" button to reboot the Android system.

If TWRP asks if you want to install SuperSU click "Do Not Install". Sometimes, TWRP cannot determine that you already have SuperSU installed.

Root management with SuperSU app

Now that you have learned how to open root rights on android, you need to teach how to manage these rights.

After restarting your phone, you should see a new SuperSU icon in the applications menu. SuperSU distributes rights to applications that require them. Whenever an application wants to ask for superuser rights, it must ask your application for SuperSU, which will show this request. To make sure that the root rights are working, you can download the Root Checker application to check the root rights.

For example, let's open and add the Clean Master app, which allows you to clean your device of accumulated garbage. It requires root rights for more effective cleansing. After starting, you will see a message stating that you need to grant superuser rights. Click Submit.

To manage root rights, open the application menu and click on the SuperSU icon. You will see a list of applications that have been granted or denied superuser rights. You can click on an app to change its permissions.

To remove root rights, open the SuperSU application, go to the settings and select the "Complete Root Removal" option. If this is applicable for your device, then root rights will be removed.

Now you know how to open root rights on android and how to remove them. Good luck!
