According to YouTube bloggers, the easiest way to root Android is to use the free Kingo Android Root program. We have successfully tested it on smartphones of various brands, including Chinese ones. Please note that no one guarantees a 100% result. But if you do it according to your mind, then you can install the root of the right without problems.
Our actions are divided into two stages:
- Preparing the phone.
- Using Kingo Android Root software on PC. This method gives a better chance of success, so let's take a look at it first.
How to get root (root) rights: preparing Android
- Reset all Android settings to factory defaults.
Path: "Menu" → "Settings" → "Restore and reset" → "Factory data reset" (or "Master reset", "Erase all data", "Reset phone settings" - depends on the phone firmware version) → "Erase everything" ...
- Enable USB Debugging Mode.
Settings → Applications → Development → USB Debugging (check the box).
- In Android 4.2 and higher, we do this: "Settings" → "About phone" → you need to tap 7 times on the item "Build number" → "For developers" → "USB debugging" (check the box).
How to get root rights through a PC
