DISCLAIMER: ROOTING YOUR DEVICE WILL PROBABLY VOID YOUR WARRANTY FROM BOTH THE CARRIER AND THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ACCEPT FAULT FOR ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ROOTING, THEN DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER. HERE BE DRAGONS.
Что такое Root-права? Root-права (или Root-доступ, или права суперпользователя) — аналог прав администратора на ПК в Windows. Получить можно на любом устройстве под Android (смартфон, планшет).
По умолчанию операционная система не дает пользоваться рут-доступом, чтобы случайно не удалить важный файл. Для опытного пользователя такие права — это возможность более широко использовать свое устройство.
Рассмотрим, как включить права суперпользователя на Андроид.

It is not trivial to just copy a su
to the folder yourself, as the /system partition is mounted read only and you need root rights to (re)mount it as writable (and you’d need write permissions if it was).
One ‘indirect’ way of doing this is using a recovery with extended functionality, it can mount /system as writable and copy files to it. In most cases this means flashing a custom recovery, as many stock recoveries are limited to patching only specific (OEM) files.
A more ‘direct’ way would be to directly flash a new /system partition (with root files) using some flashing tool. Such tools include:
- odin(PC—Samsung only)
- fastboot(PC—Generic Android)
- flashify(app—Generic Android)
It is relatively easy to copy the /system partition from your phone—or an image file from the web, and flash the root-modified partition back. Lastly you may be able to get a root shell using ADB, if the ROM was compiled to allow it (not common in stock ROMs). Using the root shell it is trivial to remount partitions and copy files anywhere you want—if you know linux commands.
These simple methods work for phones that are unlocked/easy to unlock. When a bootloader is locked the process of rooting can become a convoluted process that may differ between devices, see more specific rooting info here.
This is because any custom modifications to important partitions will break the OEM ‘signature’ and cause the bootloader to refuse loading (bootloop). Or, in some cases the bootloader will just undo any changes.

So you just went through a bunch of instructions you didn’t fully understand, or downloaded some program to your computer and let it run, and your phone is supposed to be rooted. (And yes, naysayers, this is more common than you think — not everyone lives and breathes this stuff.) How can you be sure it worked?
Because the people who make our phones (most of them, anyway) don’t want us to be able to root them it’s not as easy as installing an app from Google Play, and sometimes it doesn’t work out like it should. You’ll need to verify that it worked — and is working properly — before you use root to do whatever it is you wanted to do with it. Thankfully, that’s pretty easy to do.
- If you used a «systemless root» method and everything finished without an error, you’re rooted for all intents and purposes.
- Install a root checker app from Google Play. Open it and follow the instructions, and it will tell you if your phone is rooted or not.
- Go old school and use a terminal. Any terminal app from the Play Store will work, and all you need to do is open it and enter the word «su» (without the quotes) and hit return. You might get a dialog asking you to allow the terminal app to run as root (that’s what you’re doing when you enter su) from a root control app. That’s a good thing. In any case, if your login prompt changes from $ to #, you are the superuser. You can even do this via ADB from your computer.
No matter how you check, make sure that you have something watching so that apps can’t do root «stuff» without your permission. Any good root method will include something to act as a watchdog. If you are rooted and don’t have an app that monitors root access, ask for support from the folks who made the root method you used about it.
And as always, be careful. Using root permissions is a great way to ruin the software on your phone if you aren’t paying attention or do something without knowing what’s gonna happen. Read everything you can find on the internet, then look again and read some more before you break something.

What does rooting your phone allow you to do
Answered By: Date: created: Apr 30 2023
Rooting is a process that allows you to attain root access to the Android operating system code (the equivalent term for Apple devices id jailbreaking). It gives you privileges to modify the software code on the device or install other software that the manufacturer wouldn’t normally allow you to.

Quick Answer: How Do I Fix Android Verification Failed?
Here, we are going to discuss what to do after rooting device.
What to do After Rooting Android Device?
1. Clean the Pre-loaded Crapware
If you own a non-nexus device, coming from OEM’s like Samsung, LG, Sony etc, you probably can guess what I mean by crapware. Still cannot guess? What I mean is pre-loaded apps like Samsung ChatOn, Sony Socialife, useless widgets you don’t want, removing the stock launcher etc. So, there are two methods of achieving the above target.
- This method is so easy, and you can use an app like System App Remover to do it. This is probably the best method for newbies, or those who are migrating from other OSes like Windows Phone, iOS, Symbian etc.
- More geeky method is to do it manually. Essentially, you are doing to the same thing. To delete pre-loaded apps manually, you need a root explorer like ES File Explorer, then navigate to /system/app, then delete those apps which you don’t want. Be careful though, if you remove something critical, you may have to hard reset your phone, so don’t blame us later.
2. Speed Up Your Phone
3. Backup Your Data More Efficiently
One of the things to do after rooting Android device is, you have the ability to use root backup apps like Titanium Backup, which allow you to backup both your apps and their data. This makes restoring your information a breeze, just click-click-click and voilà, everything is back, just like you wanted.
It’s also very useful when you buy a new phone. You just copy over the backup data, install Titanium Backup, and your data is back within minutes.
4. Use Xposed Framework
Android phones depend on a framework to control features like the UI, WiFi, Bluetooth, Touch Control etc. Xposed Framework is a custom, 3rd party framework made by XDA Recognized Developer rovo89, which allows possibilities like theming the ROM, modifying its aspects without actually modifying the system files. It just bypasses the system processes and loads the custom stuff through its own framework.
The best part is that the developer made an API for the framework, which allows making Xposed modules. Some famous modules are XTheme Engine, which allows theming your ROM, Per-App DPI, which allows you to change dpi of apps, allowing them to run in Tablet, Phablet or Phone Mode and lastly XPrivacy, which allows Permission Management on per-app basis. You can find an extensive list of Xposed Modules here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327541
5. Backup your EFS
Before getting into this topic, let’s first discuss what EFS is. EFS is a partition in your phone which stores information related to your phone’s IMEI code. This partition is unique to each individual device.
Often, when we flash a new ROM, if the ROM doesn’t know how to handle EFS well, it may get wiped, hence your device loses its IMEI code, and the ability to connect to a cell network. Backing up your EFS is relatively easy. Use a root explorer like ES File Explorer to navigate to /efs and copy all the content to your SD Card. For safety, keep a backup on your PC too. If you lose your EFS, restoring it is as easy as copying the files back.
6. Debug your Phone
Especially helpful if you are an Android app Developer, after rooting your phone, you can debug your phone processes through ADB. ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, and it is an interface through which you can interact with your phone from your computer. Installation of ADB on the PC is a straightforward process. You need to download the Android SDK to your PC, and then, you can find it inside the platform-tools folder.
You need to enable USB Debugging on your phone, then you can simply plug it into the computer, and access the phone’s terminal via the command adb shell. Then, you are free to debug your app/other processes. For a list of available commands, just type adb in the command prompt.
7. Flash a Custom Recovery
Recovery mode is a special mode which exists in all Android devices. It allows you to wipe the device even when it is not powering on. It allows you to apply official updates to your device.
There are lots of custom Recoveries out there, the most famous ones being ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) and TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). With these, you can do a lot more. You can flash new ROMs, new kernels, debug issues with your phone, flash themes and what now. One of the most useful features is the ability to take backups of your ROM. Unlike Titanium Backup, which backs up your apps, custom recoveries actually backup your entire ROM, so you can just restore that if your phone crashes.
8. Install a Custom Kernel
Kernel is the piece of software which ties your hardware and the OS together. It loads up the drivers controlling all of your phone’s features, the CPU, the RAM, the Camera, the Storage, the Touchscreen, literally everything.
The Android kernel is based on Linux Kernel, which makes it hugely customizable. Custom Kernels can improve your device’s performance, add features like CPU Overclocking, ZRAM , Kernel Samepage Merging, newer drivers, GPU Overclock , new governors and schedulers etc. They can improve battery life too, by tweaking governors, schedulers, virtual machine tweaks, and by updating the Linux Kernel. All in all, it’s a win-win combination, with almost nothing to lose in the bargain.
9. Install a Custom ROM
Installing a custom ROM is the final step in modifying your phone. ROM is a common term used to describe the whole OS running on your phone. Switching it is probably the limit of Android modding, but there are thousands of ROMs out there, so the sky is the limit.
With this, we come to the end of what to do after rooting Android Devices. With that said, there is practically no limit to customizing and modding an Android device. Before attempting any of the stuff I talked about, I would suggest you take backup. I am not responsible for anything that happened to your device.
Haven’t rooted your device yet? Seriously? Go root it at once. Just Google “your device name root” for a method to root your device.

If you’ve researched anything about Android on the internet, you’ve probably seen and read about «rooting» it. There was a time when many of the Android phones available didn’t live up to their potential, and root was the answer. Horrible software was the norm, applications that you would never use ran amok and wasted data and battery life, and the experience was bad all around.
What exactly is root?
When you root your Android, you’re simply adding a standard Linux function that was removed.
System root vs. Systemless root
Everything described above is how Linux-based systems normally work, and how Android worked before version 4.3.
Since the release of Android 4.3, the process that handles requests for root access has to run as soon as you turn on your phone. This daemon (that’s what these sorts of processes are called) also needs special permissions so it can work as intended. To make both of these things happen, files in the phone’s system folder had to be modified.
When Android 5.0 was released things changed and the boot image — software that does exactly what you think it does: boot up Android on your phone — need to be modified so that the su daemon was launched. Since this doesn’t modify the system partition, it was called a systemless root.
Systemless root is what you’ll have unless you can build Android for your phone and install it.
Work on systemless root was quickly halted when a way to root phones running Android 5 by editing the system files was found, but Google patched the method with Android 6, and systemless root was once again required.
It’s good that Google patches things to keep our phones more secure because most people don’t care about rooting phones and need these protections. In this case, it was also good for the rooting community at large because a systemless root is better in a lot of ways.
Unless you have a very old phone or just want to practice building Android yourself on a Pixel or other open hardware platform supported by Google, you’ll probably be using a systemless root method.
Should I root my Android phone?
Yes. No. Maybe? All three answers are perfectly valid. People have different reasons for wanting to root their devices. Some do it just because they can — they paid for the hardware and think they should be able to do anything they like. Others want to be able to add things that aren’t there, like internet servers, or be able to «fix» services that are there but don’t work the way they would like them to work. People might buy a phone because they like the hardware but hate the software and want to change it. Mostly, people root their phones because they simply want to get rid of the extra things on it that they don’t want. All of these reasons — as well as any reason you might have that aren’t mentioned here — are the right reasons.
Most people want root to get rid of the bloat.
Rooting your phone puts you in charge when it comes to privacy and security. That’s good and bad.
Getting ready to root
Here is our comprehensive walkthrough of how to set up and install the Android SDK
Depending on which phone you have, unlocking the bootloader is slightly different. The «standard» way is by using the OEM unlock command. If you’re using an older Motorola, Sony, or LG phone, you might need to get an «official» cryptographic token to unlock your bootloader for some devices. You’ll find how to do that and who to get it from at each vendor’s developer pages. Remember that unlocking the bootloader on your Android may affect the warranty status.
How to root your Android phone
How you root your Android is going to depend on which one you have. There are over 12,000 different Android models (and that’s only counting ones that can access Google Play) from hundreds of different manufacturers. Almost all of them have been designed so that they are hard to root. That’s because if it is easy for you to root your phone when you want extra access, it may also be easy for someone else to root your phone and get the same access — which means they would have all of your important private data.
There are models specifically hardened to prevent unauthorized access (that means rooting, too) as well as devices that were designed to be safely and easily unlocked for full developer access like the Google Pixel. Most phones fall somewhere in between, and when carriers get involved they have control over the process, too.
With over 12,000 different models, we can’t cover every single method to root every single device. We can point you in the right direction and help you get there, though.
Rooting your Samsung phone
Samsung used to offer «developer editions» of their popular models, but weak sales (they usually needed to be paid for in full with no type of subsidy or financing) they seem to have stopped production. We have only ourselves to blame — it’s just not worth making something that nobody is buying.
Samsung also makes very lucrative deals with carriers, and most of the time those carriers want to prevent you from rooting your phone. Recent models from AT&T or Verizon are notoriously difficult to exploit, and all the U.S. versions of the Galaxy S9 are locked up and encrypted. There might not ever be a way to root them. This isn’t true for unlocked models sold outside of North America though.
Knox can pose special problems when trying to root.
To root most Samsung phones, you’ll need to use a program called Odin. It’s a low-level firmware flashing tool that can push image files to the storage and overwrite existing images. You’ll also need the correct USB drivers for Windows computers. If you’re using a Mac computer or running Linux, the software that flashes images is called Heimdall. They both work essentially the same and carry the same risks — if you try and flash the wrong image or a bad image, your phone isn’t going to be able to start. While this is often recoverable, know that there is always a chance you can ruin your phone or tablet, and your warranty is voided as soon as you begin.
Also, many Samsung phones ship with Knox security enabled. Knox is part of Samsung’s special «Samsung Approved For Enterprise» feature, where personal and work environments can be separated in a way that allows both to coexist on the same device. Knox can pose special problems when trying to root a phone that uses it, and it has a software counter that can show when device firmware has been tampered with. This means it’s very easy for Samsung to void your warranty if you start fiddling with things.
XDA Forums are a group of people, including some from the mobile industry, who are dedicated to the good sort of hacking of mobile devices. It’s one of the best places on the internet to learn about things like rooting your phone, and it’s the first place I check when I have any questions, too!
Rooting your OnePlus phone
OnePlus has always been one of the more developer-friendly manufacturers, and many of the company’s phones can be rooted exactly the same way a Pixel phone can be — by unlocking the bootloader through the standard Android commands and transferring the correct files to the phone itself.
While carrier influence may make the process more convoluted, you’ll find a full tutorial for unlocking and rooting your OnePlus phone at XDA Developers.
Rooting your Motorola phone
Motorola also offers some models a liberal bootloader unlocking policy, so using the standard bootloader unlock commands should get you started. This is the first step toward flashing any other system image to your phone.
If your Motorola phone isn’t covered under their bootloader unlocking policy you might have to resort to exploits or use commercial rooting apps. The best places to try are MOFOROOT or the relevant section at XDA Forums.
Rooting your Pixel phone
To root your Pixel phone, you should start with learning how to install and configure the Android SDK. There are plenty of one-click scripts or toolboxes that will unlock your bootloader and get you ready to flash (or even flash it for you) a custom recovery. Still, there’s a great reason to learn how to do it yourself — you are able to fix most anything if it goes wrong by using the Factory Images.
Google not only supports unlocking your bootloader, but they also give you full and complete instructions on how to do it, how to flash third-party images and how to go back. Unlocking the bootloader doesn’t break any warranties as Google realizes that there are many valid reasons to flash experimental on the developer/reference device for Android. Take advantage of this, and use the tools Google provides!
Once a third-party recovery image is flashed, you’re easily able to transfer the files you need to root to your phone. We highly recommend a Pixel phone to anyone who wants to tinker with the Android software platform.
Other phones
As mentioned previously, there are over 12,000 current Android models from hundreds of manufacturers. There’s no way to include each and every one on a single page.
Some of these phones come with a method (either approved by the manufacturer or found by a third-party) to unlock the bootloader and use the custom recovery method to root them. Many of these other phones can be rooted with applications you run on a computer or the phone itself. Look at specific forums for your device if you want to explore this.
Commercial root apps work but check out the pros and cons before you use them.
Apps like these work because they take advantage of an exploit (a bug or glitch) in the software. This means that many security applications will identify them as a virus and that software updates can (and do) break compatibility with them. Not every phone can be rooted through an app that leverages an exploit, but many can. It’s certainly worth a look to see if your particular phone is supported.

I have rooted my phone. Now what is Next?
Many people root their devices for the sake of doing it without knowing what are the real output can be done by rooting. Actually rooting means taking the control over your device and making all the aspects control by yourself. You can amend anything as you wish after you rooted your phone. Some are asking what could be done after rooting the phone. They have no idea about rooting. I need to ask them what cannot be done after rooting the Android device, Therefore we intend to show you what can be done after rooting procedure has been completed. Below we have listed some important rooting apps which do not use frequently. Some apps need to be get paid but It is worth getting them though we have to pay some amount.
Root file explorers
This will allow you to see your all folders on your device, such as valuable data which is normally hidden or protected.
- Mount /system RO/RW
- ES File Explorer
Moving and removing Apps
This means you can move or remove your valuable data, apps or whatever from system apps to data to system. You may do this with a risk attached. Make sure you have enough space on your partitions.
- Titanium Backup – This will help you to Back up all of your apps and data. Also this allows you to uninstall or freeze system applications, also gives updates into your ROM in order to save space, move apps to SD card, and many more.
- apps2rom – This will do the same as what the pro version of titanium backup does for you. That means it will let you to move your apps to the system partition.
- Bloatfreezer – This will help you to Freeze or remove system applications.
- Link2SD – Move (system) applications to a second partition in SD card, liberating loads of free space in partition.
This has some issues and also advantages and you better see whether you have enough space in your SD card. Ideally the SD card should be more than 16GB.
You know by now Some devices have Wi-Fi tethering out-of-the-box, example for that is like the Samsung Galaxy S, Therefore this is not such a big deal on them unless otherwise the carrier charges for the feature.
- Android Wi-Fi Tether
Screen shots & Screen recording
Rooting is needed for screenshots before 4.0-Ice Cream Sandwich devices. And also Most of the pre – lollipop version screen recorders also require rooting.
- Titanium Backup – This convinces that Back up all of your apps and data for reduce the Risk levels of you. Also allows you to uninstall system apps, integrate updates into your ROM to save space, and many more.
- Clockwork-mod Recovery – This usually requires root to install via ROM Manager and also this Allows you to backup the whole device, including your ROM, whereas flash new ROMs and other advanced activities.
There are also so many apps that will make a full nandroid backup for your device.
Application/ Network Control
- AdFree – This feature removes ads by changing the hosts file. (so both ads in apps and in browser)
- Orbot – Tor app
- Cache Mate – This will Clear cache of all apps.
- Droid VNC Server – This will Connect to your phone via VNC.
- LBE Privacy Guard – This will selectively remove permissions from app
- Button Savior – Helps to add on screen button to compensate a failure of a physical button.
- ClockSync – to automatically sync the device’s time with few predefined atomic clocks.
The Xposed framework allows apps with more developed functionality to be installed.
- gravitybox – This is an app that allows many system tweaks.
- xhangouts – This is an Improved version of google hangouts.
- xwhatsapp – This is a Mod for the popular whats-app messenger.
- Xprivacy – This is a Finegrained app control.
- SetCPU – This will Control the processor speed of the phone, and this can also setup profiles. It allows your device under clocking based on conditions, For an example, under clock to MHz when screen is turned off. It immensely increases battery life without putting any obstacles to performance (In-fact when you’re using these apps / the phone) or could improve the performance via overclocking.
- Overclock Widget – This is so much Similar to SetCPU but functional ability is less.
Enable swap file / partition
Advanced and Miscellaneous
- ROM Manager – Facilitates installing new ROMs with ClockworkMod Recovery, and allows you to back up your entire device (ROM + apps + data) and other advanced tasks.
- Quick Boot – This Allows you to reboot into recovery or the bootloader / Download Mode.
- Lag fixes – Various tweaks and file system changes to speed up your phone or prevent issues with your phone pausing / freezing temporarily. These are particularly useful on some Samsung phones that use an RFS file system. An Ext4 lagfix like Voodoo is recommended, but there are also Ext2 lagfixes like RyanZA’s One Click Lag Fix which also allows you to change advanced memory, Wi-Fi, and disk scheduling options.
- TRIM – Some older kernels do not have TRIM.
- StickMount – Automatically mount USB flash drives, keyboards, mouse via USB OTG cable.
- busybox – Makes terminal emulators feel more like linux.
- Sideloading apps. Most carriers/phones allow this option but AT&T does not.
AlThough rooting is not required for flashing new ROMs, many apps ask for you to root your device so that the work you do is more easier.
CyanogenMod is a very famous Rom that majority of the people put on their devices. It is easy to install it using the ROM Manager application. First you have to do is, install the Clockwork recovery. After that run a backup before you will flash any Roms.
Make sure to check out “From Where can I able to seek stock or custom ROMs for my device” or the XDA forums that will work for the other custom Roms. We know Most devices have a specific or more accurate “Android Development” sub-forum which is the place they are posting about the ROMs.
You had better always do a nandroid backup before you install any Rom or mod for your device. It will reduce the risk you will have to take. Furthermore You may also need to clear all the data and cache memory from your device before installing or upgrading a ROM.
Особенности процедуры
Получать доступ можно либо через сам смартфон, либо через компьютер. В обоих случаях придется использовать специальное приложение.
Если хотите знать, как включить рут-права на Андроид, и боитесь не справиться — зря. Процедура простая, активировать Root получится и у неопытного человека.

Пошаговая инструкция
Как открыть рут-права на Андроид:
- приложением, установленным на смартфон, подключаться к компьютеру не нужно;
- программой, установленной на компьютере (смартфон подключается к компьютеру кабелем);
- через ADB-терминал, запущенный на ПК (устройство присоединяется к ПК кабелем).
Ниже рассмотрим вопрос: «Root доступ на Андроид – как включить на русском языке разными способами?».

Со смартфона
Список приложений, предоставляющих Root-права на Android, которые устанавливают на сам гаджет (без подключения к ПК):
- Framaroot (до версии Android 4.2, в 2014 поддержка приложения прекратилась);
- Kingroot (поддерживает более 10 тысяч смартфонов, включая Nexus, Huawei, ZTE);
- Kingo Root;
- 360root (до Android 5.1.1);
- Zykuroot;
- OneClickRoot;
- Root Genius.

У каждого приложения свой список моделей гаджетов и версий Android, для которых оно подходит. Перед загрузкой проверяйте, подходит ли программа для вашего устройства.
Самая распространенная программа — Kingo Root (на русском языке). Рассмотрим, как открыть Root права на Android через это приложение.
- Заходим в настройки безопасности и разрешаем установку приложений из «Неизвестных источников».
- Качаем .apk-файл и перекидываем на смартфон (если скачивали на компьютер).
- Запускаем .apk-файл.
- Ждем, пока приложение разблокирует доступ. Скорость зависит от модели гаджета.
- После завершения видим надпись «Root Succeeded».

Через компьютер
Если интересует, как открыть Root доступ на Android через компьютер, подойдут такие программы (устанавливаются не на смартфон, а на ПК):
- RootKHP Pro;
- Unlock Root Pro;
- Vroot;
- Kingo Root.
Пошаговый план установки (на примере Vroot, остальные приложения — применяются так же).

- Скачиваем и устанавливаем Vroot на ПК.
- На смартфоне разрешаем установку приложений из «Неизвестных источников».
- Подключаем устройство к ПК USB-кабелем.
- Включаем «Отладку по USB». В некоторых смартфонах режим можно включить при подключении USB-кабеля. В других — расположен в «Настройках», в разделе «Для разработчиков» (поставьте галочку напротив «Отладка по USB»).
- Открываем Vroot. После запуска приложение должно автоматически определить смартфон. Если программа разблокирует Root-доступ, то рядом с моделью появится зеленая галочка.
- Жмем «Root».
- Дожидаемся, пока приложение разблокирует режим суперпользователя.
- После разблокировки закрываем программу на ПК и отсоединяем кабель от смартфона.

Через ADB-терминал (с компьютера)
ADB (Android Debug Bridge, или «отладочный мост») – драйвер для смартфонов, связывающий гаджет с ПК. Разрешает управлять устройством из командной строки.
Способ актуален, если производитель устройства постарался максимально закрыть рут-доступ пользователям.
Что нужно для разблокировки через ADB:
- компьютер с ОС не «младше» Win7;
- ADB-драйверы для смартфона (установятся автоматически после подключения гаджета к ПК через кабель);
- USB-кабель.
- устройство со включенной «Отладкой по USB»;
- ADB-терминал, распакованный в корень любого диска (кроме диска с Windows) в папку ADB.

Как подключить рут-права на Андроид через ADB-терминал?
- Подключаем смартфон к ПК кабелем.
- На ПК открываем командную строку.
- Пишем: cd N://adb (где N – буква диска, куда распакован ADB-терминал).
- Вводим команды, которые активируют режим суперпользователя.
Универсальных команд для этого нет. Поэтому ищите нужные в инструкции к телефону. Если в бумажной инструкции информации нет, или она утеряна, или нет руководства на русском языке — найдите сведения в Интернете, на сайте производителя смартфона.
Особые случаи
В гаджетах с прошивками MIUI (ставится на гаджеты Xiaomi) и LewaOS (и в некоторых других неоригинальных прошивках) активация рут-прав делается без сторонних приложений. Функция уже встроена в ОС и активируется в настройках.

Обычно включается в разделе «Безопасность». По умолчанию стоит «Выкл». Ползунок надо перевести на «Вкл», и режим суперпользователя включится.
Если Root-доступ уже не нужен, для отключения удалите файлы:
- su из папки system — bin;
- su из папки system — xbin;
- superuser.apk из папки system — app.
Затем перезагрузите смартфон.
Другой способ удаления — через приложение, которым открывали доступ. В некоторых программах в настройках есть функция отключения.
How do I do root?
Note there is no known method that will root all devices, nor is there any guarantee that any mentioned program or method will actually work. This is because there are many variables at play and device OEMs have no incentive to make the process easy.
A final caution: Your warranties may be voided, you may screw up your device, and there may also be other adverse effects. If you do not want to risk it, stop now. If you are not confident in what you are doing, please do not deviate from the guides and read carefully.
Methods typically vary between models and even between firmware versions of the same model. Check your rooting method is compatible with:
- Your device model/brand (e.g. Samsung Note)
- Your Android version (e.g. 4.4 KitKat vs 5.1 Lollipop)
- Your firmware version (e.g. European vs. USA vs. Verizon telecom provider)
- Your hardware version (e.g. 32GB model with antenna vs. 16GB without one)
Последствия использования Root, о которых нужно знать
Получение рут-доступа имеет 3 важных последствия.
- Можно редактировать и удалять файлы, в том числе важные. Ошибка может привести к нарушению работы гаджета. Если под Root-доступом нарушится работа ОС — по гарантии эту поломку не исправят: придется платить.
- Гарантия на смартфон перестанет действовать. Однако режим суперпользователя не затрагивает аппаратной части. Поэтому после нужных процедур можно отключить рут-доступ, и при сдаче по гарантии никто не узнает, что режим активировался.
- Нельзя получать обновления «по воздуху» (пока режим суперпользователя включен). После отключения Root все появившиеся обновления установятся автоматически (или придет запрос на их установку, который надо подтвердить).

ROMs
Though root is not required for flashing new ROMs, many apps that make it easier do require root.
CyanogenMod is a very popular rom that many people put on their phones. It is also easy to install via the ROM Manager app. First install the Clockwork recovery. Then run a backup before you flash any roms.
Also check out «Where can I find stock or custom ROMs for my device» or the XDA forums for other custom roms. Most devices have a specific «Android Development» sub-forum where ROMs are posted.
Always do a nandroid backup before installing any rom or mod! You may also need to wipe all data and cache from your phone before installing or upgrading a ROM.
One popular set of kernels is those provided by ChevyNo1. You can also download them via the premium version of the ROM Manager. Make a nandroid (ClockworkMod) backup before using these kernels! You’ll also want to get SetCPU to make the most out of these kernels.
Start with the low voltage kernels at the lowest speed and work your way up to the 1.2GHz. If your phone is stable up to the 1.2GHz range, then try some of the ultra low voltage kernels. If you start getting force closes, then switch back to a low voltage kernel.
Basically each phone (of the same phone brand/model) varies by which kernel it can handle due to the manufacturing differences between processors. So I may have a Motorola Droid that can run ultra low voltage kernels and yours may not be able to run them. These phones weren’t necessarily designed to run like this.
I’ve rooted my device. Now what?
- We have another question about that!
- If you have another method or know how to root a device that’s not listed, feel free to add it to the list! Just follow the same format.
Things You Can Do with a Rooted Android
1. Delete the built-in applications.
It is not allowed to remove the built-in applications that come with the Android devices. But after rooting the Android phone, you can delete these apps freely to speed up the Android phone.
2. Add new advanced programs.
If your Android phone has enough memory, you can add as many new superior programs as you need in your phone. Moreover, you’d better not download and use trustless softwares.
3. Back up your Android phone.
After you gain the root access of the Android phone, it is possible for you to create the backup of the Android phone. In other words, you can clone all data in your android system, including the android applications, system configurations and settings, contacts and etc. There are a variety of applications which can help you do that. For example, with TitaniumBackup application, you can duplicate the system programs and settings of your Android phone.
4. Manage the apps that automatically boot after phone startup.
You can apply a program to stop any app which boot automatically from running. And for your information, Gemimi App Manager plays an active role in this aspect, so you can apply it to stop an unwanted app from running easily. Please make reference to the picture below.
5. Control CPU setting.
6. Boot any computer PC from Android
7. Increase RAM of the Android phone
If your Android phone runs slowly, you can increase the RAM of it after rooting. It will greatly improve speed up the device. You can use the app to increase the RAM of the rooted Android phone. Or try to partition the SD card, which is said to helpful for Android phone running.
You can do more than your think after rooting your phone. But most of the procedures need the help of third-party tool. Just as every coin has two sides, you need to think twice before you do that.
Что можно сделать со смартфоном, имея рут-права?
Имея полный доступ, пользователь может:
- изменять интерфейс (значки, темы, звуки, картинки и анимацию);
- менять прошивку;
- устанавливать программам полный доступ к системе;
- видеть и редактировать системные файлы, скрытые для «обычного» юзера;
- удалять стандартные приложения, встроенные сервисы;
- устанавливать приложения на карты памяти;
- перенести кэш приложений на карту памяти;
- отключить рекламу в приложениях.

Backups
There are also many apps that claim to make a full nandroid backup.
Amazon
- Fire TV
- Kindle Fire Version 6.x / 10.x
- Kindle Fire 5th gen (aka 2015)
- Kindle Fire HD
Moving & Removing Apps
Access to /system also means you can move apps or updates to system apps from /data to /system (with caution!), if the partition has enough space.
- Titanium Backup — Back up all of your applications and data. Also allows you to uninstall or freeze system apps, integrate updates into your ROM to save space, move apps to SD, and more.
- apps2rom — does for free what the pro version of titanium backup does: lets you move apps to the system partition.
- Bloatfreezer — Freeze or remove system apps
- Link2SD — Move (system) applications to a second partition in SD card, liberating loads of free space in
/system
partition.
Note that moving apps to the sdcard has risks and cons, and should be undertaken only if space is needed. Most modern devices have enough memory for many apps (16GB+), providing that photos/videos/music are stored on an external sdcard.
Подготовка к активации Root на Android
Прежде чем разбираться с вопросом: «Root-доступ на Андроид – как включить?», устройство надо подготовить.
- На всякий случай перенесите на флешку (а лучше — на компьютер) нужную информацию: фото, контакты, переписку, файлы. Если настройка пойдет не так, их можно потерять.
- Зарядите батарею минимум до 30-40%.
- Если подключать права будете через компьютер — подготовьте нормально работающий USB-кабель (не отключающийся, если телефон подвинуть).

Для резервного копирования всей информации из памяти гаджета используйте приложение для резервного копирования. Например:

Root File Explorers
You can remount your /system/
directory read-write, which will allow you to remove carrier-shipped applications you don’t like and so on. Root file explorers can allow you to view all folders on your phone, such as /data/
which is normally protected.
Tethering
Some devices already have Wi-Fi tethering out-of-the-box, like the Samsung Galaxy S, so this isn’t such a big deal on them unless the carrier charges for the feature.
Xposed Framework
The Xposed framework allows apps with advanced tweaking functionality to be installed.
- GravityBox (for Android 4.2 4.4 5.0 5.1 6.0) — An app that provides many system tweaks.
- XInstaller — Various tweaks for Package Installer.
- XHangouts — Improved version of google hangouts.
XWhatsApp— Mod for the popular whatsapp messenger.- XPrivacy — Finegrained app control.
Patching Apps
With root access you can patch other apps to gain special access to functions, or removal of self-protection for some apps.
