How to Root Your Android Phone

Rooting your android device is really easy and can be extremely beneficial for some people. The reasons it can be beneficial is that you are able to use apps which require your phone to be rooted, however this is mainly for techy people who tend to use their phone to maximum of its abilities and like to have fun with it. Not to say that if you aren’t a techy guy you shouldn’t root your phone, instead I personally encourage you to, well not encourage but i’m here to tell you how to do it, and what kinds of ways it can benefit.
Another way rooting if beneficial is that it can allow you to receive android firmware updates much earlier then regular unrooted device, sometimes even months before. Also for those of you who think of this as jailbreaking it is not! Rooting is something which is allowed to do, and it is needed to run some applications. There are little to no chances of damaging or ruining your phone, if somehow while you are attempting to root your device it messes up, you can simply restore to factory settings.
1.Download and install the latest version of the rooting program, unzip it, and install it on your computer:

2. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development > Make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
3. Plug your phone in via USB cable to the computer.
4. Right click the program and click Run As Administrator (or just double click it if using Windows XP).
5. Click the Root button and wait for it to finish.

6. Once done, you should see superuser permissions in your phone’s apps. If so, you are all set!
