"Whats

ROOT/ROOTING

" this is a common question arise in the mind of all newly android users.With in months after you bought your new android phone you will start to hear the word "rooting".But what is rooting means?I will try to explain it to you as i can.To me, rooting means gaining special access to things on your phone that the manufacturers didn't intend for you to have.Now you will start to think what "special access".Donot understand?Ok i will tell you little more simply,Are you a pc user?Did you ever lost your password?...Reality is that your Android device is a locked pc and you are using its guest account....That means you have no access to modify/delete or add anything to system files of android.But whats the use of root?..Answer for that question is simple,rooting our android phone gives us the opportunity to do so much more than our phone can do now...Like Speeding it up using overclocking,Customizing the look of our phone,Increasing Internal memory,Increase ram ,Play HD games in high fps(games that runs slow on your phone ),Increase screen quality,New fonts,hack games,etc.....Do you wanna root your phone now?....Before getting too excited i wanna say one more thing...Everything in the world have both advantage and disadvantages.Rooting also have disadvantages,one is "IT CAN DESTROY YOUR PHONE" and You will loss your warranty..Donot be get freaked out because your phone get destroyed only if we do anything without knowledge so after rooting be careful for everything you do.Thats why In most of the posts and videos you will see this note "I am not responsible for anything that happen to your phone" they are putting this note because humans make mistakes that's usual so if you miss any steps in that guide then their is a high chance of getting your phone bricked............Waite,what do i mean by "bricked"...Their are some common terms you wanna know along with rooting they are Softbrick,Hardbrick,Bootloop,Rom,Kernal etc.Bricked means dead(not real meaning).Rom means OS and this is divided into Stock Rom and Custom Rom.That means just like changing windows you can also change android os.If your stock rom is android 4.2.2 and you wish to have 4.4.4 and you know your manufacturer will not provide you android 4.4.4 in this decade then you can Root your phone and install custom 4.4.4 rom to your pc.But their is a high chance to get your phone bricked if you do that without proper knowledge.But always their is a solution for every problems but we wanna take precautions first so after you root your phone flash a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP.This will give more control over your device.After flashing Custom recovery make a Nandroid backup.What's Nandroid backup means?With using 3rd party application you can make backup of your whole phone.It's essentially a system image of your phone.Everything exactly how it is right now.That way,if you flash something that breaks your phone you can flash back to the normal(stage where you make the Nandroid Backup).So now you are free.............always make a Nandroid backup and then only do anything that you are not 100% sure about.I always make a Nandroid backup before doing anything related to system like changing rom,system installation etc.One of my advice is that "Donot play with anything that you donot know and always make a Nandroid backup and save it.This are the basic things you wanna know as a beginner for more you can search in Xda/google.i hope you like my presentation.Cmnt if you have any doubt.
