For those who have just become a beginner or are not an expert in the vast world of Android and are not particularly familiar with the concept of how - root android, and also why it is needed, what can be done after obtaining Root rights or how to get rid of them later if they are no longer needed, all this can be found in the detailed article -!
First of all!
There are no "left" links or unnecessary actions in this article! If you really need Root Rights, then read carefully and follow step by step, this is a guarantee that you will do everything right! This article on obtaining Root rights is divided into two parts: The first part is Prerequisites and conditions, the second part is Instruction how to get root rights using the received files and programs. If, in the process of obtaining root rights, Android constantly reboots or in the process of eternal loading (it happens extremely rarely, but still), then it's worth it. Now let's start getting Root rights!
Android manufacturers sometimes release new firmware on which it is not possible to get Root using one of the suggested methods, if there are other alternative methods in the article, try them. Doesn't work anyway? Specify the Android version and firmware version in the comments (do not write malicious shitty comments, you will not put this on yourself or others). Android freezes (does not load), read and re-read from the very FIRST PARAGRAPH, all the necessary links are present in the article!
