How to root my device?

Posted on August 21, 2013 @ 8:42 am

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to teach someone how to root their Android device. Each device has a its own unique method in rooting and some research must be done on your part.

You can check the following links below for tutorials in rooting certain devices. If your device is not on the list then the best place to start searching would be at the XDA Developer Forums. And as always you can use Google and search for your device model and the term root (ex. "Sony Xperia Z root").

Androids that work too well to just ignore. Some of our favorite devices are in this section, and rooting helps give them life a little longer than the manufacturer provides.

If your device isn't listed here, we suggest you visit the Android Central forums and ask some of the root-savvy users you'll find there. This is your best bet at finding root for devices that are no longer as popular, but still very serviceable.
