Smartphones and tablets of the Korean company Samsung are considered one of the best and perhaps the most popular Android devices. The functionality of any Samsung is always at its best, but sometimes users need to have advanced capabilities, for which you need to root Android on Samsung. The advantage of the gadgets of this brand is good protectionwhich becomes a problem when getting root.

Root rights to Samsung

Root is user rights comparable to administrator rights on computers under windows management... On Android, the ability to manage the contents of the root section (root - "root" in English) is not initially provided. To use hidden functions, it is necessary to perform rooting, that is, manipulations in order to gain access to system folders.

A superuser can do almost anything with Android, including modifying the operating system itself.

What is the difficulty? It would seem that the Android OS is the same everywhere, but Samsung implements Knox protection systems in its firmware, which can be difficult to bypass.

What you need to root Samsung

According to the developers, root is not provided for device security purposes. There is always a risk of ruining the gadget if the user does not have special knowledge.

After unsuccessful rooting, the device will not even be taken for repair.

So the first and main condition for such an operation is complete confidence in its necessity and success.

In addition, the list necessary tools depends on the chosen method of obtaining root rights. In the general case, one is available - software, but two options are distinguished:

• Using a computer. You will need a Windows computer, a USB cable, Odin software, custom Recovery, model-specific drivers, and a well-charged device with installed application SuperSU. In this way, for example, you can easily get root-rights on Android 4.3 Samsung Galaxy S3.
• Without PC assistance. You will need a suitable application to install on the gadget (for example, Framaroot).

Route via Recovery and SuperSU

For samsung models latest versions it is the custom (CWM) or extended (TWRP) Recovery option using the Odin program that shows very high efficiency. Moreover, for the gadgets of this manufacturer, this is practically no alternative. It has been used for a long time and very successfully, but it is not the only one for all Android models.

Preparatory stage

So, decided to root Samsung. Before the operation, you will have to prepare the gadget itself and the computer with which it will be stitched. The device must be charged, preferably completely - the process will consume a lot of energy, and the possibility of recharging will not be presented, since the connector will be busy. The USB cable must be checked.

The program is freely available on the Internet, but it is not recommended to use the Russified versions. The most stable versions are 1.85 (for models up to 2011), 3.07 (from 2011 to 2014) and 3.10.6. (for newest models).
