Its android time !
Hello friends here we go with tutorial on rooting your android phone !
(Read it completely before you start doing anything)
Rooting, for those of you that don't know, means giving yourself root permissions on your phone. It's similar running programs as administrators in Windows, or running a command with sudo in Linux. With a rooted phone, you can run more apps (like backup or tethering apps ), as well as flash custom ROMs to your phone, which add all sorts of extra features.
There are a ton of different
Android phones out there, and while some rooting methods might work for multiple phones, there is
no one-size-fits-all guide for rooting every phone out there. As such, we can't show you how to root every phone in existence,
especially since we can't test every method.
Rooting Terms
Root:
Rooting means you have
root access to your device—that
is, it can run the sudo command, and has enhanced privileges allowing it to run
apps like Wireless Tether or
SetCPU. You can root either by installing the Superuser application—which many of the below root processes include—
or by flashing a custom ROM that has root access included.
ROM :
A ROM is a modified
version of Android. It may
contain extra features, a
different look, speed
enhancements, or even a
version of Android that hasn't been released yet. We won't discuss ROMs in depth here,but if you want to use one once
you're rooted, you can read
more about doing that on this page .
Flash:
Flashing essentially
means installing something on your device, whether it be a ROM, a kernel , or something else that comes in the form of a ZIP file. Sometimes the rooting
process requires flashing ZIP file, sometimes it doesn't.
Bootloader:
Your bootloader is
the lowest level of software on your phone, running all the code that's necessary to start up your operating system.
Most bootloaders come locked, which keeps you from rooting your phone. Unlocking your bootloader doesn't root your phone directly, but it does
allow you to root, then flash custom ROMs if you so desire.
Recovery : Your recovery is
the software on your phone
that lets you make backups,
flash ROMs, and perform other system-level tasks. The default
recoveries can't do much, but you can flash a custom
recovery—like ClockworkMod
—after you've unlocked your bootloader that will give you much more control over your
device. This is often an integral
part of the rooting process.
ADB:
ADB stands for Android
Debug Bridge, and it's a
command line tool for your
computer that can
communicate with an Android device you've connected to it.
It's part of the Android
Software Developers Kit (SDK) . Many of the root tools below use ADB, whether you're
typing the commands yourself or not. Unless the instructions call for installing the SDK and
running ADB commands, you won't need to mess with it— you'll just need to know that it's what most of the tools use to root your phone.
S-OFF :
HTC phones use a
feature called Signature
Verification in HBOOT, their
bootloader. By default, your phone has S-ON, which means
it blocks you from flashing
radio images—the code that manages your data, Wi-Fi, and GPS connections. Switching your phone to S-OFF lets you flash new radios. Rooting
doesn't require S-OFF, but
many rooting tools will give
you S-OFF in addition to root access, which is nice.
RUU and SBF: ROM Upgrade
Utilities (for HTC phones) and
System Boot Files (for Motorola
phones) are files direct from
the manufacturer that change
the software on your phone.
RUU and SBF files are how the
manufacturers deliver your
over-the-air upgrades, and
modders often post leaked RUU
and SBF files for flashing when
the updates haven't been
released yet. They're also
handy when downgrading your phone, if a rooting method isn't available for the newest software version yet. You can flash RUUs right from your HTC phone, but Motorola users will need a Windows program called RSD Lite to flash SBF files.
There are basically three ways to root your android phone !
1.using commands from PC
2.using softwares from phone !
3.booting using device specific .zip file(recovery mode)
But out of these 1st and the 3rd works fine on the most of the android devices !
(IMP: before using any of these methods please turn on your usb debugging from your android device
Application=settings=applications=development=check usb debugging)
Method 1.using commands from pc !
You need not to do original commands as
There is software that runs fine !
"Superoneclick"
You can download officially it here !
Http://www.Shortfuse.org/
Before you run make sure that you have android SDK installed on your PC.
While installing please allow default path specified in SDK...
You can find it on google developers site !
(Just sdk should be installed no more components are needed)
method 2 and 3 will be posted soon !
