What is Android Rooting?
Root any Android smartphone on windows 10/8 PC using Free software: Rooting your Android phone is equivalent to Jail Breaking an IOS device(iPhone). Rooting the Android Device (smartphone/Tablet) means breaking the restricted user privileges and giving the user Root access. If you’re familiar with Linux platform then there’s no need to explain what is root access for you. But considering the Novice users, I’m discussing what is Root access.
What is Root Access?
Getting Root Access is nothing but becoming Super User (i.e the user who has the access to root folder is called super user). From now, I’ll use the Term Super User, so beginners won’t get confused. Super User is the highest level of user access in Linux platform (android is based on Linux platform) which is similar to Administrator in Windows Operating system.
In the Pre-installed Operating System,Stock ROM, The user is restricted from doing some operations like viewing and editing the root folder, Deleting the App data of Applications, Uninstalling Pre-installed Applications and so on. By rooting Your Android Smartphone/ Tablet You are trying to gain the highest level Access to your Device’s Operating system. which gives you the ability to interact/edit with the app data of your applications. Let me give you an example, if you’re a Hill climb racing game user, You can simply edit your score or get more coins, make unlimited purchases just by editing the related file in that game’s AppData folder ( the name is not the same).

Hello Shivam,
FYI Tizen is different from Android, though they belong to the Linux family. I’ll try to give you a small and simple solution. Instead of doing it manually, install a app that can do it for you. Follow the below procedure.
1. Search for “King Root” app and install it.
2. Turn on Data or Connect to WiFi.
3. Now Open the app and Tap on the ROOT option.
4. Wait for the process to complete.
5. Reboot your phone to complete the procedure.
I hope this helps. Thanks for Reaching out. Have a Great day.
