Caution Prior to Rooting Your Android

[ROOTING]

by Roger B Rueda

Rooting Android is trendier today than it has ever been some time ago. In our day, some custom ROMs are reorganised more regularly than stock versions of Android. And,undeniably, there are hundreds of new features and apps to access after rooting your Android.

But there are some important things to do before rooting your Android. Now, we’re going to list those things and show you how to have a safe and effective rooting experience:

DOWNLOAD ONLY FROM RELIABLE ROOTING SOURCES

Rooting your Android gives you access to the very core features of your device. At the same time, your rooting kit (exploit kit) needs to hack into your device to go along with this access.Most rooting kits are designed by programmers who find exploits simply for the challenge and the recognition. These rooting kits are safe and are often free to download.On the other hand, not all rooting kit programmers have goodintentions. Some build root kits designed to brick your device, while others install malware and viruses on your device. Always download your root kits from trusted sources except that you want to brick your device.

POWER UP YOUR ANDROID TO 100% BATTERY LIFE

Rooting uses up your phone’s battery life, but it doesn’t use it up at a crazy rate. There are always some users who encounter a serious rooting problem because they didn’t listen to these instructions. Power up your phone to 100% before you go rooting, and if you don’t have time to do that, then at least power it up to 50%, which should be enough.

KNOW EXACTLY WHICH HANDSET AND MODEL NUMBER YOU HAVE

Always be sure to download root exploits that are either:

>Intended for your specific phone

>Have been established to work with your specific phone

Or else, you’re going to run into some serious compatibility errors. To find your specific Android model number, look for About Phone under your Settings menu.

BACKUP YOUR ANDROID

Rooting an Android from any source comes with risks. The biggest risk is that you’ll brick your device and be unable to find everything on it. You should keep a backup of your Android prior to rooting.

There are a number of reasons why a root could go pear-shaped, including:

>You used a root kit for the wrong version of Android

>You used a root kit for the wrong model number of your Android phone or tablet

>Your battery died halfway through the rooting process

>The root kit was bad and crossed the thresholdof a loop or chanced upon other errors

>You gave up halfway through and started crying

If you see a root exploit that doesn’t specifically cover your Android model number, then you probably don’t want to be the first to test that out. However, some people like to try being the test mock.
