What are superuser rights and why are they needed. What is Root for Android Cons of root rights
If the following messages appear when using the phone or deleting a file: “Confirm access to rights”, “Administrator privileges are required”, “Super user rights are required”, “Root is required for correct operation” and the like, this means that in the current settings of your android there are restrictions on certain functions. For some, this doesn't seem right. After all, when we buy a phone, we all want to become its full owners, decide for ourselves which applications we need and which do not, what to download and what to delete. But there is another side to this as well.
Android is a very versatile and flexible operating system, consisting of a huge number of files, providing a correspondingly many possibilities for using it. By inexperience, you may accidentally delete some important items, considering them simply useless. Thus, damaging it, which may lead to a freeze or, even worse, to the failure of the entire gadget. That's why the developers came up with all these access rights and permissions for use, that is, this is a kind of protection.
Root rights or super user rights (super user) is a confirmation of access to the implementation of any actions in the android system.
That is, root rights are rights that give you unlimited privileges with your device. If I may say so, you become a full-fledged administrator of equipment. After receiving them, you can do whatever you want with android. Delete system apps. Freeze them, turn them off completely, suspend them. You can remove a bunch of software that you absolutely do not need and was installed by developers for personal purposes (they are also called). These system processes are constantly running and load your device, you can say exactly half.
Often, when choosing a phone, you are told that the built-in memory is 4gb. And as often happens, having seen what we dreamed about so much, we don’t even look at what is in it and how it all works. We completely trust the sellers, and they sing beautiful songs to us, how this model conquered the whole world. But when we already bought it and began to understand at least a little what was happening, we see that exactly half or even less of our memory of 4gb is left. How did it happen, because you haven’t really installed anything yet, but there is no memory anymore, and what will happen when you download your favorite and necessary programs, or start playing games on Android. Your system will start to slow down or even worse hang. The phone will constantly warm up, as the processor is working to its fullest. And you won't be able to do anything, because you don't have privileges to manage your Android system, and for this you must become a root user, that is, a superuser.
As soon as you get root rights on android, then your entire warranty just flies! This is usually written on the warranty card. After that, in case of a software failure, you will not be able to contact the service, where you will be repaired or replaced under warranty.
I, as I bought the last device, exactly one day later already set root rights. In which case, I can now flash the phone myself with factory firmware and return it to its original state. After all, the Android system is so good that even a not very knowledgeable user can manage it. Fortunately, there are a lot of programs for firmware on the Internet.
Somehow we got off topic. And so let's start getting root rights on any device that supports the Android system.
Getting root rights
There are 2 methods for obtaining root rights.
- Using a computer (you will need to connect your phone via cable)
- Without a computer (just by installing the right application).
Remember that there is no single correct way to get root rights. It all depends on the device model and Android version. Older versions (up to 4.0) are easier to root through a computer, on newer ones, you just need to install the desired application.
We will show getting root rights in both examples. If you are the owner of android version 6.0+, then you can safely proceed to the second method.
We get root rights through a computer
To do this, you need to download a special program. A lot of them - . Choose any. The principle itself is not fundamentally different. We will show on the example of SuperOneClick.
Preparation: latest version. You must have these programs on windows - NET Framework 2.4 and higher and Java Platform. Without them, we won't be able to do anything.
Drivers must also be installed, they usually come on a disk in the box with your device, and can be installed from the device when you first connect to a computer or download from the manufacturer's website.
Be sure to turn off the software that went to the device. These are applications that are needed to facilitate the work with your android (ps suite and the like). Disabling this is not all, you must definitely close the process, if the program hangs in the tray, then just click on the exit. If there is no program, we look in the task manager, disable the process we need. Be careful! If you don’t know which processes are responsible for what, it’s better not to touch anything. Or look on the Internet how to turn off processes on your computer.
Getting rights:
- Be sure to disconnect the memory card from our device, just pull it out.
- Disable all system protection on the computer (firewalls, firewalls, antiviruses)
- Unpack the downloaded SuperOneClick archive to the hard drive and go to the folder.
- Turn on the device, go to the settings and check the USB debugging box (Settings - For Developers - USB Debugging)
- We allow installation of applications not from the market (Settings - applications or security - unknown sources (tick))
Connecting your phone to a computer
- Again we go to the computer in the folder with the SuperOneClick.exe program. Run it, make sure that psneuter is in the exploit selection list.
- Click on the root button, wait. In the process, you will be asked to install BusyBox - you must agree, because. it is a set of UNIX command line utilities. If you did everything right, you will see this inscription: Your device (device name) is rooted.
Possible causes of failures:
The rooting process takes too long - reboot, read the article carefully, try another application.
The program does not start - You did not disable the antivirus and it removed the necessary exploits that it sees as trojans.
I can’t make root and that’s it - If you can’t make root, restart the computer and phone again, try again.
If the process hangs on the inscription “waiting for device”, then before connecting, uncheck USB Debugging (Debugging via USB), and when the inscription waiting for device appears, put it back.
How to find out if I got root rights: After working correctly in the offer menu, here is such a new program Superuser (SuperUser or SuperSU)
Getting root rights from the phone
On the one hand, it is the simplest. You just need to download the desired program and run it. It would seem, what is so difficult? And the fact that there is no one right program for this. What works for Samsung will not work for Xiaomi. Here is a partial list of programs: Root master, Baidu root, Poot, iRoot, etc. In our opinion, it will be most optimal to get acquainted with several, and then install them for yourself. To do this, we will provide a whole playlist of video examples.
Removing root rights
If you still decide to remove them, for example, in case of a warranty appeal to the store, then there are several ways:
- Flash with factory firmware (as we wrote above)
- Install a special application for this. You can easily find them at the request "Unroot".
- Launch SuperSu and do the following: go to the “SETTINGS” section, then find and select the “FULL REMOVE ROOT” item and reboot the device.
In conclusion, we recall: No program can guarantee 100% success in obtaining root rights. Any third-party intervention in the system can harm the operation of your device. You perform all actions at your own peril and risk.
Have you managed to get root rights? We will be glad if you share your experience in the comments to the article.
Recovery guides always state that an application needs root access to function properly. What is it, why is it dangerous and why root access is needed - read about it here.
What is root rights (superuser rights)
Ruth- This is an analogue of jailbreak in iOS. It allows Android users to dive deeper into the phone subsystem, working with it in the same way as with an SD card or internal memory of a mobile device.
Android uses permissions similar to Linux. Everything you do is done as your user with limited permissions. Any running application can also use these rights with the consent of the user.
Root user = superuser. His rights are not limited, he can access any file or folder, perform any file operation in the Android OS.
In simple words, root access is the ability to work with the root file system in the Android OS without restrictions.
What happens when rooting?
Rooting– modification of the file system in order to grant superuser rights to the root directory of the smartphone / tablet.
The root program gets full access to Android. As a result, the root user has an unlimited list of rights on the Android device. If the program is granted superuser rights, it can also do whatever it wants on the phone.
How to find out if your phone is rooted
In fact, it is very easy to find out if the phone is rooted. If you recently bought a phone and are running stock Android firmware, it makes sense that you don't have root access.
If the phone is used or you do not remember if you installed root, you can check the status using the Root Checker program. The app will detect if there is a superuser / su access on the android device.
Why do root: the main reasons
By getting root rights, you can easily bypass any restrictions set by the smartphone manufacturer by default. In particular, you can
- Launch more apps with a wide list of privileges, manually accept or deny the permissions of a specific app installed on Android;
- Without Android OS obstacles, install unofficial firmware;
- Give data recovery programs access to the phone's memory;
- One of the most obvious incentives for rooting your Android is to rid yourself of viruses that can't be removed from your smartphone without root access. Of course, there are antiviruses in nature with pre-installed root access, but these are a minority;
- Install special applications and custom flash roms;
- In general, improve the performance of the tablet, customize the appearance of the phone more flexibly, overclock or slow down the processor of a mobile device using root access.
Some applications, using superuser rights, will allow:
- Perform an automatic backup of all your applications and data in Android memory,
- Create a secure tunnel on the Internet,
- Make the device a wireless access point (hotspot) - in other words, set up a wireless network via wifi (see "tethering" on Wikipedia), even if it was disabled by default by the firmware developer.
What is dangerous root for the phone
Manufacturers of android mobile devices are interested in preventing rooting. Inept handling of superuser rights leads to the failure of smartphones and tablets. However, for an advanced user, the risk of screwing up the phone is minimal, and the potential benefits of rooting - judging by the above list - are impressive.
There are three potential dangers when activating root access:
1. Void Warranty. Some vendors, having found activated root access on the phone, refuse warranty.
However, keep in mind that you can always revoke root access to the mobile device's file system. If you need to send your device in for repair, just roll back to the original (backup) firmware and no one will ever know you were rooted.
2. Turning the phone into a "brick": If rooting fails, there is a risk of turning the device into a so-called "brick".
The surest way to avoid breaking your phone is to carefully follow the instructions when obtaining root rights on trusted web resources, mobile portals. Make sure the manual applies to your device and that custom firmware is compatible with it.
Pay attention to user reviews with a similar device: perhaps they have already installed the root, or vice versa - they turned it into a “brick” and are in shock.
3. Increasing vulnerability. Granting root rights on Android reduces security. Services and applications with unlimited rights can create a vulnerability. It's not for nothing that Google refuses to support its services (for example, Google Wallet) in rooted devices.
Remember, if you are not quite an advanced user and have not figured out why and how to apply root rights, it is better to refrain from gaining access to the android system, as there is a risk of losing the functionality of your device forever and it will simply become a “brick”.
Root rights are divided into 3 types:
1. full root- permanent root-rights without restrictions
2. Shell Root- root-rights, without access to the / system folder.
3. Temporary Root- temporary root rights.
Are all smartphones rooted?
Some smartphones have a NAND lock function that does not allow any changes to the / system files and, accordingly, the ability to install SuperUser. In this case, you have the opportunity to get temporary Shell Root or Temporary Root rights.
How to root an android device
In fact, there are a huge number of ways to get root rights now, for different android smartphones they have their own. Here are the 5 most universal ways, suitable for most android phones:
- Framaroot is the app with the largest list of supported smartphones;
- Kingo Android ROOT is a universal utility;
- z4root is an application, the process of obtaining is simple and has only two clicks, the possibility of obtaining both permanent and temporary rights;
- SuperOneClick is a PC program that allows you to install root rights via USB;
- Universal AndRoot is a simple application that works on many devices.
And at the end
All of the above programs and applications required to obtain root rights will be detected by antivirus programs as Trojan viruses. In truth, these are virus programs that penetrate the system. Therefore, do not be afraid, but disable the “antivirus” in advance.
Of course, being an advanced user does not mean that you have to hack the system, you can use the most open OS in the world without hacking and get more features than other mobile systems. And if you already decide to use administrator rights, think three times and ask yourself if you need superuser rights, since incorrect changes in the OS can lead to irreparable consequences, in other words, your smartphone will turn into a “brick”.

If you have opened this article, then you probably already have at least some idea about the rights of the superuser. But in that rare case, if you are a regular Android user and opened an article out of idle interest - a small educational program.
Superuser rights, they are also root-rights (from the English "root", which means "root") - this is the ability to write, modify and delete information located in the system (or root) section of the file system. This concept is similar to administrator rights on Windows and applies to operating systems based on UNIX (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 going to do now safe, and is it 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 - have you read the warranty agreement that came with your phone? If you read it, then you know that getting root rights is a gray area and whether your guarantee will remain with you after the process is completed depends only on the manufacturer's policy.
Next, remember one thing - 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 what programs get these rights from you, and also check with other, more experienced Android users before doing something stupid.
What are the benefits of having root privileges?

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

And that is not all! In fact, once you have root access to your phone, you can make just about anything out of it. And if your fuse has not cooled down yet, let's move on to the actual process of obtaining root rights.
Instruction

Unfortunately, you can’t just turn on root access on Android - manufacturers have tried to protect their creations from the crooked hands of users, and this is, in fact, right - otherwise the number of calls to service centers would increase significantly. But this does not mean that it is impossible to get root-rights at all. Moreover, for most phones, this procedure is extremely routine and takes only a few minutes.
There are many ways to get 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 get rights with just one tap on the screen. And other manufacturers simply trust their users and even publish algorithms to bypass 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 with KingRoot is to press one button. Of the shortcomings, KingRoot is not the most familiar rights manager for old 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, such as VRoot,
2. Using a PC and special programs

Just because you can't send unlock instructions from within the Android system doesn't mean it can't be done at all. At least, according to this principle, programs such as SuperOneClick, Kingo and many others operate. As the basis of their work, they use the USB connection of an Android smartphone and a PC, through which commands are given.

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 the “Build version” item ten to fifteen times.
After you have enabled it, simply connect your Android smartphone to your 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 which program to choose and how to use it - the number of Android devices is too large to be able to say with certainty which ones work with one program and which ones 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 a computer over 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 security solutions of the phone manufacturer.
For ADB to work properly with your phone, you will need at least:
- Computer with Windows 7 operating system (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;
- Unpacked into the “X://ADB” folder, where X is a (preferably) non-system drive, an archive with an ADB terminal.
I think many of you have heard this expression, but not many understand what it is (I'm not talking about 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 a new smartphone, you notice a lot of programs on it that, let's say, as they are, you don't need at all. In one of the articles, we analyzed which interfere with your work with the phone. But what happens - if you can't remove them. At the same time, they also take up space in memory!
So, root-rights is full access to the system. You can do whatever you want, from changing the icon on a system app to deleting it.
It's worth knowing that There are three classes of root rights. Full Root - full and permanent rights without any restrictions. Shell Root - permanent root, but without access to change the system folder (\system). Temporary Root- temporary root rights.
In addition, depending on the device model and its firmware, it is not always possible to get full superuser rights, in turn, you can always get a temporary root. For the most part, temporary root rights are provided by most of the applications that are available on PlayMarket.
Key benefits of full access:
- the ability to work with system applications;
- the ability to "endow" any of the applications with full access to the system;
- unlimited work with the interface: change icons, themes (which can be done not only thanks to launchers), system sounds, greeting and picture or animation when you turn it on;
- full access to the bootloader, which allows you to change the firmware without difficulty;
- the ability to install applications directly to the memory card;
- a backup copy with all applications that are currently installed in the system;
- 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, 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 sure that your actions are correct.
Basic ways to get root access
Naturally, there are special programs that facilitate this matter. I will conditionally divide them into two types:
- PC programs;
- programs for 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 is 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, in the notification bar you will see a message about enabling debugging.
Permission to install from unknown sources
Enter the settings, in the security section. Set the switch to the "on" position opposite the item "Unknown sources".
Everything, with the preparation finished, now we go directly to root-rights.
Full access via PC software
In this section, I will detail how to root your android device with some PC software.
Root access with Kingo Android Root
1. Download Kingo Android ROOT to your PC.
2. Install the program.
One of the screenshots when installing the KingoRoot program
4. Next, launch the Kingo Android ROOT program. Only after that, connect your device to the PC via a USB cable.
5. When the device is detected and all drivers are installed, click "ROOT". The process of hacking the system will begin. When it's done, restart your device.
I hope you understand everything. Let's move on to the next method.
Root access with VROOT
If you were unable to get root access using the previous program, then most likely your android device is made in China. Therefore, try to do the same thing using the VROOT program. Below is the instruction.
1. Download the program from the official website to your PC. Yes, it is worth noting that it is in Chinese, so be careful. Click the green button to download, as shown in the picture.
2. Now install the program. The installation process is identical to any other, just look at the pictures and follow. Don't forget to check the box to launch the application (last screenshot).
3. Now you need to enable USB debugging mode on your device and allow installing applications from unknown sources.
4. Connect the device via USB cable. And click the "Root" button. Wait for the root access process to complete.
These are, in my opinion, the two best programs in this category. Just follow all the steps as described above and you will succeed.
Full access with Android apps
In this section, I will show you how to get root rights using android programs. All actions will need to be performed directly from your android device.
Root access using the KINGROOT program
(Since the article was written earlier, today, the application interface has changed somewhat. The old version of obtaining root rights will be described below, and in the second part of the article we will describe the utility features provided to us today. IMPORTANT to note that the process of installing the program and obtaining root rights - did not change).
This is a fairly easy-to-use program, and therefore the most popular.
1. First, download the installation file from the official website directly from your device (it will be easier than from a computer). Click Free Download. Confirm saving the file. The screenshot clearly shows the address of the site, and also shows what needs to be done. In the notification bar, you can see the download status.
Note: when downloading the installation file, it is desirable to have a high-speed Internet connection via WiFi.
2. Now you need to install the application. Before doing this, allow installation from unknown sources. Then go to the downloads directory and click on the appropriate file. Everything is shown in the pictures, be careful.
3. Now install the application by clicking on the "Install" button.
4. Find a shortcut to the Kingroot application on one of the desktops. Click on it to launch. Immediately, the application will begin to determine the model of your device, as well as whether it is already rooted.
5. Now that the definition is over, click on the "TRY TO ROOT" button to get root rights. And wait for the device to reboot, which will inform you that the process of hacking the system is over.
King Root Update
In the updated version of the program, the developers paid tribute to security, namely, built-in protection against malware, optimization of boot processes, improvement of system capabilities that speed up smartphones. After completing the previously described steps, the user will see the following download window:
So, in the right corner there will be information about the status of your root rights. At the bottom of this function, a field is available that allows you to track the authorization of a number of applications installed on your smartphone and control their access to the system catalog.
The start window looks like this:
By clicking the "Security" button, KingRoot optimizes all processes and displays a report:
Root access with OneClickRoot
Unfortunately, this program no longer works for free (a couple of years have passed since the writing of the article). At the office site only paid version for $30.
This program is much lighter than the previous one and, besides, it tells you immediately after scanning whether it can open root access on your device.
- I won't tell you much about how to download and install the app. You need to perform all the steps in the same way as the above case. Everything (including the official website) can be seen in the pictures. Just follow the instructions.
2. After opening the application, you will immediately be prompted to get the root. Therefore, click on "Root Device". Then scan your device to see if the program can open root access to its system. If not, you will see a message like in the third screenshot. You can click on "Notify Me" if you want to be informed when the program can help you.
3. If it is still possible to give you root rights, then you will see such a screen. Click Root Device.
Root ToolCase - get root capabilities with one click
This is a universal application that allows you to configure and manage your smartphone without any restrictions, remove unnecessary utilities, and much more without root rights. After installing the program from PlayMarket, we will see the following window:
IMPORTANT, this program does not root the device, but provides a number of system features that are not available without installing it (information from the developers in the image below).
The start window of the application prompts us to select the one we need, namely:
The user can customize the smart startup process, access safe mode if problems arise, and reset to factory settings with just one keystroke.
- App Manager
Allows you to edit installed applications (including system ones) and even remove malware that is not available for removal using built-in protection systems.
- Additional system settings.
Ability to work in the ADB development environment using wireless networks, mount partitions, change the language, etc.In the Build.prop Editor, it is possible to change the properties of the ROM. An installer function for flash devices is available, which makes it possible to configure almost any functionality on the phone, thereby making it completely individual.
Toverloop
A kind of "veteran rue". A well-known application that works on almost all devices with old Android firmware (up to version 5 inclusive). Despite this, it is very popular because the rooting process is possible in one click. The list of devices available for upgrade is available on the application website.
Rooting Android 7 and above
Traditional methods of obtaining super user rights on new types of devices do not always give a positive result. Installing the application will only allow you to control some functions of the smartphone, but not become super su.
We will provide a quick guide for OS version 7 and above.
- It is mandatory to unlock the Bootloader (bootloader) on your smartphone. Depending on the model and firmware, this procedure will be slightly different.
- Go to "developer mode" (again, depending on the model, this menu item may be in different places) and turn on "USB debugging".
- Download the development environment on your PC - Android SDK Platform Tools.
- On a specialized site we find the custom firmware we need for your smartphone, usually TWRP.
5. After flashing, our initial TWRP window is loaded, select the Recovery Mode item using the volume keys, confirm the selection by pressing the power button.
Brief summary
A little higher, I told you in great detail how to get root access to the system of your android device, as well as what this root access is all about.
I have provided you with detailed instructions for working with the most popular effective software. But be aware that there are other programs. Try it, if it doesn't work with one, it will work with the other. Good luck!
