HOW TO ROOT YOUR ANDROID PHONE EASILY
Rooting is the process of increasing the Android phones functions,it is like bringing an Android phone into freedom.
Rooting is best undertaken with caution. You must back up your phone’s software before you install — or “flash,” in rooting terms — a custom ROM (a modified version of Android).

Reasons for rooting.
One of the biggest incentives to root your Android phone is so that you can strip away bloatware that’s impossible to uninstall otherwise (although you can sometimes disable it — check out our guide on disabling bloatware). On some devices, rooting will enable previously disabled settings, like wireless tethering. Additional benefits include the ability to install specialized tools and flash custom ROMs, each of which can add extra features and improve your phone or tablet’s performance.

Why wouldn’t you root?
There are essentially four potential cons to rooting your Android.
1.Disabling your warranty:
2.Corrupting your phone:
3.Security risks:

How to prepare your Android device for rooting
One of the easiest ways to root an Android device is by using an app, and a number of rooting apps have garnered attention over the years — Framaroot, Firmware.mobi, Kingo Root, BaiduRoot, and One Click Rootare amongst some of the most reliable. But some of them only support devices running older versions of Android, so you may need to do some shopping around to find one that works for your device.
ROOTING PREPARATIONS.
Back up everything you cannot live without before you start. You should also always back up your phone’s current ROM before you flash a new one.
You will also want to ensure that your device is fully charged before you begin.
You will need to turn on USB debugging, as well as OEM Unlocking. Do this by opening Settings on your device. If you do not see Developer Options toward the bottom of the Settings screen, follow these steps to activate it.
Tap on About Phone and find the Build Number. The exact path depends on your phone, but it’ll usually be found with other software information.
Tap on the Build Number seven times and the Developer Options will appear on the main page of the Settings. You may need to confirm your security passcode to enable this.
Tap on the Back key to see your new developer options.
Tap Developer Options.
Check to enable USB Debugging.
Check to enable OEM Unlocking.
Installing the Android SDK Platform Tools
It used to be that rooting involved downloading Google’s entire Android development kit. Thankfully, that’s not the case anymore, and all you need is the Android SDK Platform Tools.
Download and install the Android SDK Platform Tools from Google’s developer site. There are choices for Windows, Mac, and Linux. These instructions are for Windows machines. Extract the zipped files. When asked what directory to install the software to, we recommend that you set it to C:android-sdk. If you choose a different location, make sure you remember it.
Installing device drivers
To ensure your computer can properly communicate with your smartphone or tablet, you will need to install the appropriate USB driver.
Devices from some manufacturers come with the drivers included in the phone’s software, so all you need to do to install the appropriate USB driver is attach your phone to your PC by USB cable. OnePlus is an example of this, but it’s worth connecting your phone first to see whether USB drivers will automatically install.
Otherwise, here is a list of drivers from the most popular manufacturers:
Google,HTC,Huawei,Lenovo,LG,Samsung,Sony,Xiaomi,itel,techno and more.
Google,HTC,Huawei,Lenovo,LG,Samsung,Sony,Xiaomi,itel,techno and more.
Follow the installer’s instructions. Once the drivers are installed, proceed to the next step.
Unlock your bootloader
Before you get started, you need to unlock your device’s bootloader. The bootloader, simply put, is the program that loads the device’s operating system. It determines which applications run during your phone or tablet’s startup process.
Some manufacturers require you to obtain a key to unlock the bootloader. Motorola, HTC, LG, and Sony provide step-by-step instructions on how to do so, but a word of warning: They require you to register for a developer account.
Unfortunately for users of Huawei and Honor devices, those phones’ bootloaders can no longer be unlocked. Huawei rescinded the ability to request unlock codes in July 2018. If you still want to root your Huawei or Honor device, you’ll need to use a third-party service like DC-Unlocker.
Once you have taken those steps, you can embark on the unlocking process. You will need to put your device in fastboot mode. It’s different for every phone, but on most devices, rebooting the device and holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons for 10 seconds does the trick (HTC phones require that you hit the Volume Down key and press the Power button to select it.)
Once you have booted into fastboot, head to the folder you previously unzipped your Android SDK files to. Then open your computer’s command prompt by holding down Shift+Right Click and choosing “Open a Command Prompt Here.” If your device requires a code, you will get a long string of characters. Paste it into the box on your device manufacturer’s website, submit the form, and await an email with a key, file, and further instructions.
To unlock your device’s bootloader, connect it to your computer and place it in fastboot mode again. Pull up the command prompt by typing cmd into your Start menu.
For Google Nexus and Pixel devices, the commands are easy:
Nexus phones: Type “fastboot oem unlock” (without quotes) and hit enter
Pixel phones: Type “fastboot flashing unlock” (without quotes) and hit enter
Motorola’s command is a little different:
Type “oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY” (without quotes), replacing “UNIQUE KEY” with the code you received
So is HTC’s:
Type “unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin” (without quotes), replacing “Unlock_code.bin” with the file you received.
Confirm the unlock, and you’re one step closer to rooting your Android device.
Some manufacturers and carriers don’t sanction bootloader unlocking, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Try searching the XDA Developers forum for workarounds and unofficial solutions.
How to root your Android device with multiple programs
There are a lot of different ways to root your phone or tablet. Here are a few of our favorites.
Rooting with Framaroot
Framaroot is a newer one-click rooting service, and it aims to make the process of rooting easy for everyone with a simple one-click “root” button. However, you might have to jump through a couple of hoops to get it started.
Download the APK.
Install it — you may need to tap the Unknown sources button in your Android Security settings to complete the installation.
Open the app, and tap Root.
If the app finds it’s able to root your device, it will do so. If it can’t you’ll need to try another method.
If your device can be rooted, you can go ahead and root your device.
You’ll then need to download and run SuperSU to manage your root access.
Then that’s it — you’re good to go!
Rooting your Android device with BaiduRoot
BaiduRoot, a software utility by Beijing-based Baidu Inc., supports more than 6,000 Android devices, but since those only include devices running Android 2.2 up to Android 4.4, it’s going to have limited use most. However, if you’ve got a really old phone lying around, this is a great tool for rooting and re-purposing that. It’s coded in Chinese, but a crafty translator has released an English version.
BaiduRoot’s one of the more straightforward rooting applications. Once you’ve downloaded it on your computer, it’s a step-by-step affair.
First, you’ll need to unzip the file. Find Baidu_Root.RAR and extract its contents (if you’re using Windows, you might need a third-party application like 7-Zip).
Next, attach the device you want to root to your computer via USB and transfer the files. Once that’s done, unplug your phone.
You’ll have to install the BaiduRoot application manually. Follow these steps:
On your smartphone or tablet, head to Settings > Security (or Lock screen and security).
Toggle Unknown sources, and press OKon the popup.
Find the folder containing the BaiduRoot app and tap the APK file. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Now, switch to BaiduRoot.
Open BaiduRoot and accept the license agreement.
Tap the Root button in the center of the screen.
After a few seconds, you’ll get a message indicating that the device was successfully rooted.
One click root rooting procedure.
One Click Root is a new rooting tool that aims to take some of the complicated nature out of rooting. The idea of One Click Root is right there in the name; one click, and you’re done. It charges $40 to root your phone, but also promises that the program won’t be able to brick your phone, except in the case of user negligence. We can’t back up those claims, so we recommend you take all the same precautions you would take with any other rooting app.
The One Click Root procedure is simple.
Check that your device is supported with the Root Availability Tool.
Download the Windows/Mac One Click Root program.
Connect your device via USB cable.
Enable USB debugging on your device.
Run One Click Root and let the software handle the tricky bit.
How to use Kingo Android Root

Kingo Root can be installed to a Windows-based computer or directly to the device you want to root. First, check to see if your device is compatible with Kingo by checking the official list. Then, grab the Kingo Android Root for Windows program, and install it. Alternatively, download the Kingo Android Root APK to your device, check the Unknown sources box (see above), and install it.
If you’ve opted to use the Windows client, make sure to enable USB debugging mode on your phone.
From there, usage is pretty simple:
Launch Kingo Root on your computer and connect your device via USB.
Kingo Root should detect your device automatically and prompt you to root it. Click Root, and then hang tight — Kingo will only take a few minutes to grant root privileges.
If you would rather root without a computer, follow these instructions:
Install the Kingo Root APK.
Open the Kingo Root app.
If your device is compatible, you will see a One Click Root button. Tap it and be patient — it can take a while.
How to verify your rooting completion
Download Root Checker
You will need to download an app to make sure your device has been successfully rooted. There are several apps available on the Google Play store that, when downloaded, will tell you if you have super-user permission — a telltale sign you have succeeded. Root Checker is a popular one — simply installing and running it will tell you if your phone has super-user permissions.
How to unroot your Android device
For all the benefits you can gain from rooting, you may want to go back to the way things were. Whichever method you attempt, always make sure that you back up your data before making any large changes to your phone.
Unroot with SuperSU
SuperSU allows you to unroot phones with one click. Open the SuperSU app, go to Settings, and scroll to the bottom until you see the Full unroot button. Tap it, hit continue, and the unrooting process will begin.
Unroot with Universal Unroot
Another method is Universal Unroot. It removes root privileges in most Android devices, but it’s not perfect. For starters, most Samsung devices are not compatible, and LG devices will be unrooted, but still show as rooted after the app has worked its magic. It used to be a dollar, but it’s now free since the developers are no longer updating it.
