The Basics of Rooting Android

This article is for people who don’t know much about their phones. We hope to help people get the most from their devices. We call it android root basics. Some phones can be rooted in what the “industry” calls one click root. There are numerous companies that do one-click root. Leave a comment and we can tell you where to root your model.

Other phones have software on the computer that connects to the phone to achieve root. Jailbreaking your iPhone or rooting your phone is something that brings more capability to the device rooted. Some of the easiest and stable phones to root are Samsung and Nexus phones.

When it comes to iPhone it is a very simple process, nothing to it really. If this is what you want to know just leave a comment or use my contact info to ask us and be sure to send us your iPhone model so we can lead you to the right place.

Is there any risk in rooting??

Be very careful and follow all directions always. If it’s android there is usually no problem with rooting most models. Some have a more complicated process than others. As we said, some are easy and only require one click but some models are more locked down, as in the Amazon Fire HD 6, 7, and 8. They are more of a closed system. So if you have any questions about rooting android leave a comment or use the contact info in the menu to reach out to us and we will help you. As always the model number is needed.

If you don’t know where to find the model it’s not a problem. We can walk you thru it also or go to the settings, scroll to the bottom and there will be a button called on the phone or on the device. Press this button. In the 5th or 6th row will be the model number. Send that to us along with your contact information so we can respond and lead you to the best information on how to root your device.
