Rooting Android phone tutorial


In this article I have given details about Rooting your Android mobile without using computer. I have given a Android app which through which you can root your app directly without using computer. Here you can get details to root your domestic Android mobile like Micromax, Karbonn, Idea, Celkon and iBall.

What is Root?


Root is the main user or super user or administrator account in Linux and Unix systems. Android is also Linux based OS but this root privileges were not given to us. Only the super-user or root user has all the privileges of the system such as start or stop a process, modify the hardware and software configuration. Root is the nerve center of the phone and can access and modify almost all important files in your phone. Mobile vendors lock this root feature because modifying important files may cause to loose your phone stability. Google mobiles like Nexus will have this option by default.

Benefits of root user are:
1. Backup all your files and apps.
2. Will be able to use advanced program such as screenshot, Root explorer, fonts etc.
3. Modify the system's internal procedures.
4. Installing apps directly to the SD card without any third-party app.
