Android rooting is very popular and users are very keen on it since a rooted Android smartphone is smarter than normal Android smartphone. Actually, Android rooting is very advantageous but needs better attention toward the whole mechanism. As Android rooting has become a trend, most Android users try to follow it. The rooting mechanism has become easier than before with one-click rooting tools. One-click rooting tools complete the whole rooting mechanism itself and users do not need to work hard for it. That is why one-click rooting tools are frequently discussed and used.
What Is The Different between One-Click Rooting And Manual Rooting
One-Click rooting tools use security holes of the Android kernel and exploit them to access the system partition and place the SU binary in the device system partition. Mostly one-click rooting tools are only available for older Android versions. Because the latest Android version has been secured well and hard to find security holes. Manual rooting allows users to access the system partition of the device using the commands that are sent by the Computer using ADB and Fastboot tools. After accessing, users can flash the Su binary to get root access. Su binary files need to be installed on Android smartphones and you cannot get root access without these files.
How To Root Android Manually
If you cannot root Android using a one-click rooting tool, you have to do it using the Manual method. In here, you can have a basic guide about it and I do not encourage you to follow it without studying the subject in advance.
