Steps on how to easily root an Android device

Have you ever wondered how you can root your android device to give complete control of your device. Then you are in the right place, just read on....

The best software for rooting your android is the Free Windows utility Kingo Android Root. This software makes it a snap to take total control of just about any Android smartphone. Below is how to use it.

Rooting your android phone is the equivalent of jail-breaking, a process of unlocking the operating system so you can install unapproved (by Google) apps, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock the processor, customize just about anything,
and so on. For the average user, rooting sounds like 'its that even possible'. Thankfully, there is a new Windows utility that makes rooting a one-click affair: Kingo Android Root. It's free, and based initial tests, it works like a charm. Note: Be sure to check the compatibility list before you start, keeping in mind that although the some models are not on it, the utility had no problem with some.Getting started is easy follow the steps below.

i. Download and install Kingo Android Root here

After downloading this software, install it on your PC

ii. Enable USB debugging mode on your smartphone. If your device is running Android 4.0 or 4.1, tap Settings, Developer Options, then tick the box for "USB debugging." (You may need to switch "Developer options" to On before you can do so.) For Android 4.2, tap Settings, About Phone, Developer Options, and then tick USB debugging." Then tap OK to approve the setting change.

For Android 4.3 and upper (and some versions of 4.2), tap Settings, About Phone, then scroll down to Build Number. Tap it 7 times, at which point you should see the message, "You are now a developer!"

iii. Run Kingo Android Root on your PC, then connect your phone via its USB sync cable. After some moment, the former should show a connection to the latter.

iv. Click Root, then sit back and wait while the utility does its work. The procedure normally will not take up-to 5 minutes including the automated reboot at the end.

And that's all  for rooting. However, If you decide to reverse the process, just run Kingo Android Root again, connect your phone, then click Remove Root.

With process done, now you can take advantage of options like USB On-the-Go to, uninstalling factory apps, changing your IMEI etc.  Post your comments to share your favorite tricks for a rooted Android phone.
