Android gadgets have won the lion's share of the technology market. Developers are constantly improving the OS, trying to tailor it to the needs of users, but from year to year they allow a tangible oversight: they prohibit the owner from accessing the "stuffing" of his gadget.
And just for such cases, there is Kingo Android ROOT.
Why does the user need root privileges
Obtaining administrator rights may be necessary even for an inexperienced user. This is due to the huge number of resource-intensive applications embedded by developers in the OS shell. Sooner or later, they begin to adversely affect the performance of the gadget, and it is possible to return it to its previous state only by getting rid of them.
Without root rights to the user, this action will not be possible, since initially Android does not provide for the removal or modification of "system files". In fact, getting the administrator account in the system, the owner of the device removes all restrictions. From this moment, the user has access to all OS secrets and the ability to change it at his discretion: from the design of icons and applications to the processor clock speed.
Thus, programs like Kingo Android ROOT extend the functionality of gadgets and in some cases give them a second wind.
Preparing the device for rooting
Despite the fact that software developers claim it is absolutely safe for the device, they still can not give any guarantees. Therefore, so that the device does not turn into a useless piece of metal and plastic, its owner should take care of the safety of data and system files.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a full backup of the system without administrator rights, but it’s worth transferring important files to the SD card. Contacts and mail in most cases are tied to a Google account, you just need to synchronize between it and the device.
After performing these simple steps, the user will not regret that he downloaded Kingo ROOT to the computer and used it, even in case of data loss.
The first steps in working with the program
Installing the utility is easy and does not require any skills from the user, except for having a Windows PC. Download Kingo ROOT in Russian or any other language is recommended on the official website; this will protect against unwanted add-ons in the form of third-party software.
Otherwise, there are no difficulties. As soon as the program is downloaded to the computer, just click on its shortcut to open the standard installer.
When the installation is completed, the utility will be ready for use and will require connecting the device to the computer.
After the PC recognizes the gadget, it should include “USB debugging” and “installing applications from unknown sources” in the menu so that the Kingo ROOT program (even a beginner can figure out how to use it) can see it. Next, we will deal with the use.
Kingo ROOT: how to use
Kingo positions itself as software that can provide the user with root rights in one click. Of course, this slogan is an exaggeration, however, the program requires a minimum of time and effort when working with it.
As soon as the drivers are downloaded to the device, the "Root" button appears in the window, by clicking on which the user starts the process and he can only wait a while until the utility does everything itself.
If during the receipt of administrator rights on a rooted gadget requests begin to appear, you should always answer "allow". When the software finishes work, a notification window will appear on the successful completion of the operation and a request to restart the device.
Rebooting the device will start automatically as soon as its owner confirms the action with the "done" button. Disconnecting the gadget from the PC before it stops is not recommended.
To check if root was obtained, the user will just need to go to the device menu and look for the SuperSU icon there. After that, the device can be disconnected from USB and close Kingo ROOT. The owner can learn how to use the privileges received and change the device settings in the future using various manuals on the Web.
Advantages and disadvantages of Kingo software
Like any other rooting program, Kingo has its pros and cons. Of the advantages, it can be noted:
- ease of use;
- nice design;
- the appearance of the version of Kingo ROOT (how to use this modification of the program will tell you a clear and simple interface), installed directly on the gadget, without using a PC;
- the ability to not only obtain administrator rights, but also to remove them from the device and restore its previous state;
- wide range of supported devices.
The disadvantages of the utility include the likelihood of data loss, the removal of the manufacturer’s warranty from the rooted gadget, the termination of the firmware auto-update and the human factor: the owner’s curiosity and careless actions can ruin the device.
Nevertheless, the listed defects of Kingo ROOT are not so significant and are easily compensated by the use of acquired privileges by the user.
