Almost everyone has a smartphone. And half of them are devices with the Android operating system. And, probably, almost everyone has heard about magic root-rights, which give the right to do whatever you want on your mobile device. In this article, you will learn how to get root access on Android and how they are remarkable. You just need to scroll the mouse wheel a little down and carefully read everything.
Why do we need root rights on Android 2.2.2?
Root rights are nothing more than super administrator rights. This means that all doors are open to the user and all functions are available. That is, you can manage protected applications and components of the operating system. Many may be interested in why this is done, because the phone already works well.
But just open the list of applications and look through a little, as it turns out that there are many unnecessary programs that are unlikely to ever be used. This is an Internet search, and a standard browser, and weather news, and demo games; several navigators. Not only do they occupy the internal memory of the device, they also load the RAM lightly, since many of them work in the background. You just can’t remove them: this is the prerogative of the developer. Therefore, to get rid of everything superfluous, it is necessary to obtain root rights on Android 2.2.2 (and higher).
However, do not run headlong and get developer status to remove unnecessary utilities. After all, you need to know what you can get rid of, and what is strictly forbidden to touch. Otherwise, you can accidentally delete an important system component or service, for example, a keyboard, a driver for a microphone or part of the OS, because of which it may fail. Therefore, it is worth considering and weighing everything before becoming a super administrator and “tearing down” some unknown utility. But if the decision has already been finally made and there is no turning back, then you need to know how to do it.
What to do?
Despite some risk, getting root rights on Android 2.2.2 (and higher) is not very difficult. Several programs will help. First you need to make some preparations, namely: set up the phone. Go to "Settings" // "System" (or "Features for Developers") and check the box next to "USB Debugging".
In addition, you need to prepare a USB cable, preferably a native one. Just before the start of the procedure, you need to charge the phone at least 90-100%. Having done these simple manipulations, you can get root rights on "Android 2.2.2".

In it, click on Unroot and select the device. After that, you can begin to get root rights on Android 2.2.2. You can watch the process at the bottom of the screen. The utility will offer to install a certain program, and if it is not needed, you should refuse it.

By the way, it also gets along well with different computer OS, whether it be Windows, Linux or Mac. However, if Windows XP is installed on the PC, you will need to upgrade Net Framework to version 2.0.

This utility is slightly different from the ones presented above, since rooting on Android 2.2 can be obtained using it without connecting to a PC. All you need is to install it on your gadget. The only problem is that this application is not in the Play Market, so you will need to download it from the Internet as an apk file. Then reset it to the tablet and install. During installation, you will need to confirm that the application is from an unknown source.
We launch the application, select the option “Install Superuser”. Next, select the version of the superuser. The most common version is Aragorn.

We press Root, after which we wait for the completion of the process and do a reboot.
Via preboot system
There is another way, using which, you can get root-rights on Android 2.2.2 (and higher). This can be done by installing something like the pre-boot system Custon Recovery. To make it clearer, this is something like MS-DOS for a computer. You can install it through the ROM Manager application, which can be downloaded from the Play Market for free.
Download this utility, run it and select Install or update recovery. Choose a phone model from the list or create new settings, and then select the version. Go back one step and click “Download in Recovery mode”. The device will reboot, after which the emulator will be available.
Plus this application compared to others in more features:
- gadget database management and backup ;
- downloading firmware on Android;
- creating partitions on a memory card for a page file or applications;
- work with system access rights.
What's next?
How to get root-rights to an Android device, we know. Now that the functions of the superuser have been obtained, you need to do something, not without reason did they receive them.
First you need to get rid of annoying and absolutely unnecessary programs and applications that are protected by the rights of the developer. To do this, you need a file manager with the ability to use root rights on Android 2.2.2. "ES Explorer" is ideal for this . We go into it, we find in the folder / system // app.
There you can see a bunch of different applications. Everything is simple here - mark unnecessary and delete. However, you must be extremely careful, otherwise you may lose applications or additions that are very important for the operating system, without which it will not work. Therefore, you need to delete something that with 100% confidence is not needed.
If you still want to get rid of unnecessary things, in order to unload the RAM, and it's scary to delete, you can just turn off the excess. To make it easier is simple: go to "Settings" // "Applications" // "All" and "Sort by size". We click on an unnecessary system program (for example, "Search the Internet" or "Weather and News") and in the upper right corner we mark "Disable". The application will remain on the tablet, but will no longer work until it is turned on again.
In addition, some service applications, such as Battery Doctor or Clean Master, can manage system applications using superuser privileges.
To summarize
Having root rights on Android 2.2.2, you can do much more than just remove unnecessary programs. With their help, you can:
- clear applications from advertising;
- overclock the processor;
- increase battery life;
- change icons, menus, desktop, etc .;
- manage firmware and even create new and much more.
However, to do this, do not do without special knowledge and skills. Therefore, if there is no absolute confidence in success, and the OS recovery point has not been created, it is better not to go there, otherwise you may lose the operating system.
