Should I root my Android?
Yes. No. Maybe. All three answers are perfectly valid. People have different reasons to want to root their devices. Some do it just because they can � they paid for the hardware and think they should be able to do anything they like. Others want to be able to add things that arent there, like internet servers or be able to "fix" services that are there but dont work the way they would like them to work. People might buy a phone because they like the hardware, but hate the software and want to change it. Mostly, people root their phones because they simply want to get rid of the extra things on it that they dont want. Every one of these reasons � as well as any reason you might have that arent mentioned here � are the right reasons.
Finally, there are plenty of users who simply dont care about this stuff. Any Android phone, no matter how restricted root access is, can do just about everything we want or need from a pocket computer. You can change the appearance, choose from over a million apps in Google Play and have complete access to the internet and most any services that live there. You can even make phone calls. Its great if youre happy with what you have and what it can do, and arent worried about trying to fix what isnt (in your eyes) broken.
Using Kingo Root
You can use Kingo Root with or without a computer. Youll find the download for both methods at the Kingo Root page � just select the one you want to use.
If youre using a windows computer with Kingo Root, youll need to have the correct USB drivers installed on the computer youre using. If you dont have these, the Kingo Root program will try to locate and install the correct ones during the process. Simply plug your phone into the computer and start the application. Its as simple as letting the software set things up, then you click the button labeled "root" in the software. As long as your phone is supported, the rest is automatic. Youll see a list of recommended root application to install after the procedure is finished, but if the program says it was successful your phone should have the superuser unlocked.
Its easier to try and use the Kingo Root app on your phone to root. After youve downloaded it (and allowed sideloading of apps) you charge your phone to at least 50% and run the app. Theres only one button to press, and after you tap it the rest is automatic. If the stand-alone version isnt successful, the computer version might be.
Full instructions and tutorials for supported phones can be found at the Kingo Root support page.
