Android Root is the procedure for unlocking operating system permissions to use it as an administrator. Using an Android smartphone or tablet as an administrator means being able to use it as a real computer, without limitations. In practical terms this translates into the possibility to customize the system to your liking, to install the numerous mobile apps only with Root and also to change ROM or change Android version by renewing or radically changing your phone. ROOTing Android can be a difficult or easy operation depending on the mobile phone you want to operate on.
Fortunately, however, for most of the most popular models of smartphones and tablets, there are programs that just need to be installed and used in a simple way, to obtain root permissions with a couple of clicks .
NOTE: Before doing these operations, even if everything should be fine, you need to backup the data of your mobile phone or tablet. This is because the root requires, if it has never been done before, the unlocking of the bootloader which is the operation that causes the loss of all data and which resets the device memory.
