How to get root on android device

One of the problems you will can have when trying to download programs in the android Market is how to get how to get permissions “root”.

All, or at least almost all android devices come with a software lock that prevents the user, among other things, delete or modify system files. To break this lock is called get root.

To find out if you have root permissions in your phone you can download this application in the Market. It is safe because only will check the security status of Android.

And why would anyone want to break a lock that prevents us from breaking our cell phone or tablet?
Simple, because some applications require permissions to modify more strongly the Android and can't run without Root. A simple example is the no-frills that allows CPU overclocking
Another example is the root uninstaller You can delete system applications.
Already other applications, even fools, do not work without root permissions. The Sixaxis Controller only runs with root and allows you to connect a PS3 control (Wireless) via bluetooth with android device.
Another example is the removal of the android Status Bar ICS, that is not possible without special permissions. If you have Root can remove it and play a game in full screen using this application.
But let's cut to the Chase. How to get Root? First WATCH! This process may disable your phone or tablet completely. Do it only if you are sure. Remember that something could go wrong and I will not be responsible!

If you really want to get root you can try first methods using ADB (Android debug Bridge). Two root applications make use of this technology that is installed on any android device.

To enable the ADB on android you must select the configuration option “USB debugging” (or USB debugging in English) on your phone or tablet. This option is in “Settings–>Applications–>Development” in android 2. x.

In android 4. x the option of “USB debugging” are in “Developer options” (developers options in English) in android 4. x. However it is possible that this menu is in another location in customized devices by manufacturer.

Then you must also enable the phone or phone the option “Unknown sources” (or “unknown sources” in English) Security menu. In 2 x is in androids “Settings–>Applications” and the androids are in 4 x “Security”. This option is important to the software that will make the root can install a program called SuperUser.

Connect your phone to the PC and make sure it is the ADB drivers. If your computer is unable to install the drivers automatically, You can download them on this site. Run the application “ADB DRIVER INSTALL” and click install, as shown in the picture below. Don't worry about windows security messages, This is normal.

Now let's download the root software. Two are the most well known and best, the Unlock Root and the Superoneclick. Sometimes one works and the other doesn't, so I'm going to let you two options for those who are reading this text.

In both the way software is the same: After installed, You must run the program on your PC and click Root, with the phone or tablet connected to PC via USB. In the unlock root you must click a green button on the left part of the window.

The SuperOneClick click on a button in the upper left.

Even though these two programs say that your device already have Root ignore them and have take root anyway. Use the application Root Checker on his cell phone to see if it really worked. Try both programs, and then restart the phone every attempt.

If it doesn't work you can also try the programs Z4root and UniversalRoot. These run on android itself and try to obtain root exploiting a security error (as well as the two previous software). My experience is that if the programs that use ADB did not work then there is little chance of it working via application inside the phone or tablet. To run the applications you must download the APK files, transfer to the device and install. After's run and cross your fingers.

And if all else fails? That's good, There is try to search in the forums for someone who has achieved any other way specific to your device. Sometimes the manufacturer releases a proprietary software to do root, or so some good soul on the internet found out how to do it and left the recipe ready for you to use. Check the model and manufacturer of your devices and get to work, or better, to Google.

    • It has nothing to do with the post, I hope. I think the best way to try to recover deleted files is to call the cell phone on the computer, enable the mobile mass storage (screen with a android holding a USB) and pass the RECUVA software. If it doesn't work, You may not be able to retrieve even…
