While we would usually think of rooting any device as only for techie geeks, in the case of Android the practice is so widespread there are even apps to help you do it.
There are some risks that if you don’t do it correctly you will turn your Android phone into a paperweight, so DO be sure to follow the instructions.
Rooting Android is NOT Jail Breaking
Just to be clear, rooting simply means gaining access to the root directory of the operating system that your smart phone runs. That is different than jailbreaking.
As Gary at TrendingPhones explains in How to Root Android:
“Rooting is something which is allowed and it is needed to run some applications. There is little to no chance of damaging or ruining your phone because if you have problems attempting to root your device you can simply restore to factory settings.”
Gary assures us that this is the very best video explaining the process:
