What is Root?

Many have heard about Root rights on Android, but only a few have received them for fear of harming their device. They are probably partly right, because having access to the main administrator account, you automatically get not only full control over the operating system with the ability to customize your device according to your preferences, but also a loophole for uninvited guests.

So, what is Root?
Root (from the English root – root; read “root”), or superuser – a special account in UNIX-like systems with an identifier (UID, User IDentifier) ​​0, the owner of which has the right to perform all operations without exception.

Advantages of Root
Having access to the main administrator profile (superuser) you get a number of features that are not available in normal operation.
First of all, getting Root makes it possible to remove standard applications imposed by device manufacturers, change themes and shortcuts, as well as run specialized applications that significantly expand the capabilities of the smartphone (usually such applications require Root rights). In addition, it becomes possible to change system files (Recovery image, Bootloader or images displayed during boot), run Linux executable files, install applications on the memory card or transfer the program cache to it. In some cases, after modifying the OS, available only after obtaining Root rights, it is even possible to achieve a small, but still increase in the performance of battery life.

Disadvantages of Root
As in everything else, obtaining Root access has its drawbacks. First of all, the device loses its warranty and in case of “something like that”, provided that you cannot roll back your “device” to the official firmware, you will have to repair it exclusively at your own expense.
The rooting procedure is simple – doing everything in accordance with the descriptions can achieve the desired, but if you have no experience, the potential risk remains – under unfavorable circumstances, the device can turn into an unusable “brick”.
Another important drawback is that opening Root privileges means interfering with system files and entails the loss of the ability to update “over the air” (install OTA updates). More precisely, the ability to update may not disappear, but the consequences of the update will be unpredictable. The most harmless of them is the loss of root privileges, but more fatal options are also possible – up to getting a “brick”.

Types of Root rights
There are several types of Root rights:
Full Root – permanent rights that remove established restrictions. Updating the operating system is not recommended.
Shell Root is similar to Full Root, but without access to the system folder.
Temporary Root – temporary Root access. After rebooting the device it disappears.

How to get Root rights?
The 4PDA forum describes a lot of universal ways and methods for obtaining Root rights on devices running Android. Most of them involve the use of special programs and a computer. Among such programs, Universal AndRoot, Unlock Root, z4root, Revolutionary and others are well known, promising to get what you want in “two clicks”. Unfortunately, not all of them are 100% capable of helping to achieve what you want, specifically for your mobile device. Moreover, such software can be defined as a virus, since it makes changes to the kernel of the Android operating system. In this case, the antivirus is partly right – all these programs are virus exploits that penetrate the kernel of the system and when downloading or installing them, it is recommended to disable security software.
Another way to obtain Root rights is to install a modified firmware on your smartphone. In this case, all the work has already been done for you by specialists, and you only have to choose the firmware that is suitable for your device. By the way, there you will also find various decorations and additions for your smartphone model.
It is worth noting that some phones have protection provided by the manufacturer – NAND lock. HTC was the most frequent user of this type of device, so the owners of such devices are out of luck – NAND lock prohibits any changes to the /system partition (it will not allow writing/deleting anything to/from the /system partition, even if it is remounted for writing), which is why it is impossible to install the Superuser program in the /system folder.
In phones with NAND lock, you can still root, but it will not be fully functional (you can only get Shell root or Temporary Root). You can find out whether your device has NAND lock in the discussion thread for your model in the Android – Devices section.

How to check if root rights have been obtained?
It is possible (but not obligatory) that an application called Superuser or SuperSU will appear in the list of programs.
When you run programs that require root privileges, a corresponding request will pop up.
Programs that previously did not work, citing a lack of rights, are now fully functional.
In the terminal emulator, when you enter the su command, a prompt in the form of a hash appears: #
This verification method depends on the method of obtaining root rights (for example, when using Universal Androot, this verification method is unacceptable). In the terminal emulator, type the command “/system/bin/id” [Enter]. If in response you get “uid = 0 (root) gid = 0 (root)”, then you have achieved what you wanted.

Summary
Now you know why you need to get Root rights in the Android operating system. Some users believe that Root is necessary, while others live quite well without it. Whether to perform this procedure or not is up to you, just do not forget about the warranty and everything will be fine.
