Obtaining superuser (root) rights gives owners of gadgets running Android additional options for configuring the system and applications. Many users would like to get root-rights, but they are afraid because of the seeming complexity of this operation or the possible loss of the warranty on the device. The iRoot utility will help in such a situation.

iRoot makes it easy and simple to obtain superuser rights on a wide range of Android devices from version 2.2 to version 4.4. The program is also able to overcome the built-in protection of some manufacturers, for example the well-known Knox from Samsung.

Attention

Obtaining superuser rights on a smartphone or tablet is a potentially dangerous operation. The editorial board and the author are not responsible for the possible consequences. Back up important data before proceeding with the steps below.

So, to get root rights, you will need the actual iRoot program, which can be downloaded here, as well as drivers for connecting the gadget to the computer. They can usually be found on the manufacturer's website. Also, make sure that the device settings are enabled for installing applications from third-party sources and USB debugging mode in the options for developers.

Next, you need to do the following.

1. If you have a Samsung device with Knox protection, then you need to go to Settings → General → Security and disable the Activation Lock option.
2. Install and run iRoot on your computer.



3. Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
4. Click on the Connect button. iRoot recognizes your smartphone, and if it is in the program database, the Root button will appear, which should be clicked.
5. The mobile gadget may restart. Do not disconnect it from the computer and wait until the process is complete.

After successfully obtaining superuser rights, you will have to install a special program to manage them. The iRoot package contains the necessary utility, but it is in Chinese, so it is inconvenient to use it. Therefore, it is better to replace it with the free SuperSU, which is available for download in the Google Play catalog.

If you did everything correctly, you will receive the device without any modifications to the stock kernel, which should remove all fears about the loss of warranty. You can delete the changes using the same program, following the above steps in reverse order.
