Smartphones based on the Android operating system are gaining more and more popularity. This system is free, so many manufacturers of smartphones create devices on the "green robot". The system is also very easy to use. But the creators only support newly minted models, and those that came out more than a year ago remain with the old version of Android. Therefore, firmware and kernels were invented so that your smartphone also has the newest axis. But for this you need to make simple actions. What kind? This will be discussed. I will teach you how to get root privileges.
Let's see why these rights are generally needed. There are concepts such as custom and stock firmware. The first are those that were made by ordinary people. In fact, unofficial. And the second ones come with the device. They are made by manufacturer programmers. Most often, custom variations are made from stock. This means that custom versions are taken as the basis and stock ones are made of them. The whole charm is that, for example, for a Sony smartphone, you can install an OS from HTC or any other smartphone. So, you need root to install the very coveted firmware.
The most important thing in the question of how to get root rights is the decision about which firmware you need. To date, there are a huge number of them. They are made by both foreign and domestic masters. Before installing anything, carefully read the instructions and user reviews. As a rule, before any instruction it is written that only you and no one else are responsible for actions with your smartphone.
But back to how to get root rights. It is very simple. For example, before, in order to do this, one had to “dance with a tambourine,” and today everything is done in a couple of mouse clicks. It is very difficult to write how to get root-rights for all smartphones, because everyone has a different base, and the actions will have to be done, of course, somewhat different. But the essence is one. You need to install drivers on the computer for your device. Then “grunt” through special programs. As a rule, after these actions you get superuser rights. This is necessary in order to manage system files. After that, download the firmware and change what you need.
It is also worth knowing that many firmware require custom kernels. This means that you can make some settings only when you put a special base. The main advantage of this core is that you can expand the functionality of the smartphone. In addition, it will be possible to "overclock" the processor. This will make the device more powerful.
All these operations are best done on a laptop. If you do this on a regular desktop computer, then there is a chance that the lights will turn off. And if the operation is interrupted unexpectedly, then your smartphone can become a "brick". The chances that he will survive are very few.
It is recommended to backup (save files). You can save data both on a memory card, and on any "cloud" service. But if you did not have any important documents, then do nothing.
You learned a little about how to get root privileges. The most important thing in this matter is to read the instructions carefully. If you do everything as it is written there, then nothing bad will happen. True, you are likely to lose the warranty. But it is easy to return it if you install the stock firmware and return everything to the factory settings.
