Greenify is compatible with (almost) every Android phone out there in tech stores including entry-level ones and can be gotten free from Google play store.

3.

Lucky Patcher is a fantastic root app for rooted Android phones and devices. Obviously an app like this can’t be allowed in Google play store, but that doesn’t stop it from functioning.

With Lucky Patcher root app, you can make online games offline, completely remove annoying ads in games and apps, h*ck In-app purchases, stop license verification, Disable bloatware & intrusive system apps, Convert your best apps to system apps (to avoid deletion) and many other functions.

We have used lucky patcher in many instances, some of which is for: removing ads from Sybla Tv app,  cr*cking subway surfers and temple run 2, among many other instances.

In fact, we created a text tutorial on how to use lucky patcher apk some two years ago. You can read all of it from https://wp.me/p3eWMZ-gUn or watch this cool video from WizTech that shows you how to do several games/app h*ack with Lucky Patcher root app.

So consequently it helps you play games or run apps that may require slightly higher configuration than that of your phone.

10. Link2SD

Link2SD app

Link2SD is not a strange name to most of our readers. This is because we’ve used it for some of our tutorials on how to increase the internal memory of Android devices.

Quite a few times, you don’t have the access to move an app to the SD Card. This makes the situation even worse when you are running low on internal memory.

Link2SD gives you the access to make changes on the internal data. They even offer you the auto clear cache service when you buy Link2SD Plus from the PlayStore™. It’s one of the best after-root app to install on Android devices.

11. System App Remover

Bloatware, promo apps and online apps directory install is the bane of most cheap Android OEMs. Even top Android OEMs aren’t left out in this Bloatware madness.

Servicely (download here) doesn’t require any significant permission other than root access.

20. Wakelock Detector

A lot of apps, known as wake lock apps are those apps that don’t let your phone sleep and keep the display on. This way they make a serious damage to the battery.

Wakelock Detector detects those many apps and notifies you about them. This can be a great tool to stop battery drainage. However, the app works not only on rooted devices, as it can be used on normal devices as well.

21. Flashify

Flashify is also a flasher tool. It is just an alternative to FlashFire. It flashes boot and recovery, zip files, and other types of device data.

The Top Rooting Apps & Software to Root Android Devices

These top free rooting software and APKs (apps) below will root your Android phones and tablet devices within a few minutes. They’re the best in the business of rooting Android devices.

1. Iroot (formerly Vroot) Rooting Software

how to root android with a software

This is the best software for rooting any android phone, judging from the wide range of coverage and deep support for older operating systems, I will lightly advise you to try it first before the other ones in this list.

Vroot for PC software is a top tool for rooting/unrooting Android phones or devices. It can root almost all android devices running on 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3 (Gingerbread), 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich),  4.2 (Jelly Bean), 4.4.2, and newer Operating Systems (OS).

The vRoot software was recently re-branded and code-named iRoot, the latest version of the app can be downloaded from here, while the older version that was used for this rooting guide can be gotten from the mirror site where we uploaded it.

We already have a detailed page that shows you how to use the vRoot software root method and the basic tips to use computer programs for rooting android. You can read up the vRoot guide here or continue with the other rooting methods below.

2. kingoapp Root [Roots with/Without Computer]

kingoapp root software solution is just as effective as Vroot, although I have recorded more success with the former, I still rate it as highly as any other one-click root android software.

kingoroot android PC version is a big player among the best computer software to root and unroot any android phone. It works seamlessly with all major brands of Android phones, tablets, and other devices.

Kingo root app works best for computers that are connected to the internet. It is required that your computer remains connected to the internet before launching the kingo root software. Click the to root the connected device once the kingo root software has detected it.

How to Root any Android Phone with KingoRoot Tool

  • Download the latest version of Kingoapp from here or from the mirror website at http://kingoroot.org/kingo-root.
  • Ensure that your phone or computer is connected to the internet.
  • Install the Kingoapp or rooting software (depending on if you are rooting with or without the PC).
  • Launch from the home screen icon and click on the root button command to get root access.
  • Use the root checker app (linked above) to confirm that your phone is now rooted fully.

The super alternative is the kingoroot apk that works seamlessly on most Android tabs. You can download kingoroot apk to your SD card, and launch it to complete the root process.

3. SRS Root Software

SRSRoot software solution was one of my favorite for rooting android devices before Vroot came to the scene. Although I haven’t used it for a while now, I can still recommend it for persons that didn’t have success with the previous two.

4. Framaroot (apk) App (Roots without PC)

Framaroot instant root apk is the best app so far for rooting and unrooting android without a computer.  It has support for even the latest android operating system (OS).

  • Wait for the Success, SU binary, and superuser installed message that confirms that your phone is now rooted.
  • Restart the device and launch the rooter checker to re-confirm your phone is rooted completely.

5. KingRoot [Roots With or Without a PC]

KingRoot is a potent rooting tool just as iRoot and KingoRoot apps. The software is light-weighted and worked flawlessly on some selected models of MTK devices we used for testing out their performance and reliability.

Their latest version supports a wide range of devices (as opined by some of our other editors) including Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and Sony Xperia droid devices. We hope to keep testing this app for a possible stand-alone review as soon as we can.

Tutorial on Rooting Android With or Without a Computer

To root with KingRoot software or app, all you’d need to do is ==>

Download the English version of the root software from here or search Google for KingRoot Apk to download the root without the PC version.

New Update!, the latest version of the KingRoot tool (for the new Android version) has gained support for almost all popular Android devices running on the 5.1 Operating System (and newer). It is now a top one-click root for PC software.

6. Unlock Root Program

I had success with this awesome rooting program in the past but can’t vouch for it now since it isn’t fully available for free any longer.

You should be thinking of it as an alternative only when the Vroot and/or kingoapp root software solutions fail to root your device.

We’ll test the app on newer devices in our care to see what max Android OS version it can root comfortably and how well it works for MTK powered smartphones.

Wrap Up on the Best Software-apps to Root Android Devices

Well, the simple steps to root with the android app or the PC has been outlined for you: Once again, it starts by preparing your device for rooting.

And after preparing your phone/device for rooting, you’d need to decide whether to go with the method of using a computer (best if you have one) or by installing a root apk app on your device. Either way, these rooting apps and software methods should be able to grant root access to your Android devices and let you use any app that’s meant for a rooted android device. Also, you should be able to unroot them when the need arises.

Note: For most devices, rooting preparation includes custom ROM, unlocking bootloader, fixing grub bootloader, working with android SDK, custom recovery, phone’s bootloader, and lots of technical jargon, while most devices would get root permission by simply adding the root apk or plugging it to the root software interface.

Note: It is important to understand what rooting an android device means, and what it does to your device before attempting to use supersu app or any of these android root tools. Note also that for most manufacturers, a rooted phone will lose its warranty as soon as it’s rooted.

A few things to Know About Rooting Android Devices in 2021

Is there any Sense in Rooting Android Phone these days?

Is Rooting Android a Safe Practice?

Are there Risks Associated with Rooting in 2019/2020?

Is Root Without PC Apps Safe to Use on Newer Devices?

Irrespective of a newer or older device, using a malicious “root without PC” app is one way to expose your phone to multiple security risks. I’ll recommend only trusted root apps that are downloaded from their official websites for such. Always do a full ROM backup before trying any root app you aren’t sure about.

Needs a Root Without PC App that isn’t Free?

a premium rooting app for Android

Using paid apps for something as simple as rooting is something I’d hardly encourage. But then, there is the option for a premium app.

This would come in handy for DIY-phobic readers that prefer a paid option. One-click root apk lets one root Android phones and/or devices with ease.

The learning curves necessary for someone that’s new to Android rooting can be bypassed with this service. They take you by the hand (VIP support) to fix challenges with rooting when their app fails to root your device.

To use their paid rooting solution, simply subscribe to their services by downloading the free rooting apk from https://bit.ly/2w9UQdU.

Are Rooting APKs Safe to Use in 2021?

Well, the answer to this question is simple; rooting APKs from a trusted source is safe while the ones from questionable sources are unsafe.

One good thing about Android is the active community of developers and private/independent contributors. Unsafe rooting APKs hardly outlive one month before they are discovered and shamed by the hard-working Android developers.

All in all, it is advisable to use only Android rooting APKs from trusted sources. Read online reviews about new rooting APKs or opt for their PC software version to root your new phones or tablet devices.
