Rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking, a way of unlocking the operating system so you can have administrator access and install unapproved (by Google) apps, update the OS, replace the firmware, overclock (or underclock) the processor, customize just about anything, and so on.
Of course, for the average user, rooting can be a scary process after all, Rooting your smartphone's core software might seem like a recipe for disaster. One wrong move and you could end up with bricked handset.
Thankfully, there's a new Windows utility that makes rooting a one-click affair: Kingo Android Root. It's free, and based on my initial tests with a Virgin Mobile Supreme, it works like a charm. (Be sure to check the compatibility list before you proceed, keeping in mind that although the Supreme wasn't on it, the utility had no problem with it.) Here's how to get started.
Step 1
Download and install Kingo Android Root.
or Vroot for the lateste MTK device.
Step 2
Enable USB debugging mode on your phone. If it's running Android 4.0 or 4.1, tap Settings, Developer Options, then tick the box for "USB debugging." (You may need to switch "Developer options" to On before you can do so.) On Android 4.2 and later, tap Settings, About Phone, Developer Options, and then tick USB debugging." Then tap OK to approve the setting change.
Step 3
Run Android Root on your PC, then connect your phone via its USB sync cable. After a moment, the former should show a connection to the latter.
Step 4
Click Root, then sit back and wait while the utility does its thing.
reboot and enjoy a Rooted Andriod Phone.
