It’s quite funny to listen to the convinced statements of a man who recently became the proud owner of a new mobile device that he will never install applications for root access. In most cases, very little time passes, and a carefully guarded gadget is not only rutted, but also configured in every way. Of course, in this case we are talking about a system from Google, not iOS. What is root on Android 4.4.4, as well as any other version?
What Not Everyone Knows About
Many people think that the operating system from Google, which received the sonorous name of Android, is something fundamentally new, which was not on the market.
In fact, it is based on the popular Linux in some circles, on top of the core of which the so-called Java virtual machine works. It is easy to guess that some features of the basic system "migrated" into a solution for mobile devices. In particular, this happened with access rights to certain sections of the drive. So, in order to ensure integrity and increase security, a user working in normal mode is prohibited from making any changes to the structure of the root directory files. Inside any gadget is a flash drive containing an operating system. If the owner wants to change something in these internal sections, then he must first obtain Root rights to Android 4, which will unlock this feature. All of the above applies to any version, from the very first to the latest 6.0. Linux users are very aware of this feature. Now, it has to be understood by the owners of Android gadgets.
Hidden features
At first glance, it might seem that you do not need to make changes to the system yourself. However, it is not. Root rights to “Android 4.0.4” allow you to delete “unnecessary”, according to the owner, applications. These include manufacturer-predefined links to various stores; optimizations that do more harm than good (Battery Doctor); inconvenient email clients and so on. They not only occupy precious storage space, but also often start automatically, working “in the background” and, as a result, consuming some of the computing power.
Root on “Android 4.4.4”, in addition to all of the above, makes it possible to correctly launch most anti-virus programs and, importantly, work with the Titanium Backup program, which can save any user applications and their data, restoring if necessary.
The nuances of obtaining root access rights
This operation, regardless of the version of the operating system, is based on the installation of a special file - an exploit that unlocks the required functions, in essence, giving the user administrator rights, if analogies with Windows are made. A similar file and the program installing it may be perceived by some anti-virus complexes as a threat, with all the ensuing consequences. Therefore, when receiving Root on “Android 4.4.4”, protection should be prudently disabled.
It often happens that an attempt to use the new version of the program for rutting leads to a negative result, but the previous ones work fine. This feature should always be remembered.
After
obtaining access
rights due to the use of official updates received "over the air", it is recommended to abstain, as in some cases subsequent problems with the operability of the device are possible.
Permanently delete system applications, even “extra ones”, should not be. It’s better to freeze them with Titanium Backup. In this case, you can always return to the original state of the system by making a reset to the factory settings from the menu. However, Ruth cannot be removed in this way.
And, finally, one can not help but point out that sometimes an attempt to rut leads to the need to flash the device, restoring its operability. The percentage of "lucky" for whom this happened is quite small, but they still exist.
Instruments
Deciding to get Root on “Android 4.4.4”, you need to decide which way the task will be solved. So, if you have the official firmware for the Flash Tool program, which includes the Recovery.img file, you can flash its custom version (created by craftsmen for this particular device). Then, holding the volume rocker down and the Power button, go into the Recovery shell and use it to install the SuperSu.zip file previously placed on the SD card. After rebooting, the gadget will be rutted.
The next way is to use KingRoot. You need to connect Wi-Fi, install the specified program and run it. If the application detects an acceptable exploit on the Web, then rooting will be performed. The user only needs to press the confirmation button twice. Everything else happens automatically. With a negative result, you can try Root360 and KingoRoot, the use of which is practically no different from the above program.
Another powerful combine worth mentioning is the Framaroot. After installation, you need to select SuperSu mode and any of the proposed methods. It’s okay if you won’t be able to guess the first time - if the algorithm works, then a message is sent about successful rutting with a request to restart. Network access for Framaroot is not needed.
