There are many people out there who will tell you that you shouldn’t get root access on your Android device. It gives you malware, it’s a security risk, you are taking risks with deleting important files you device needs. These are just some examples of the reasons they you’ll hear. And to be fair, there is merit to each arguments. However, if you’re anything above an Android noob, the risks are overblown and don’t come close to the rewards you shall reap if you do open the system internal to have access to the root file system.

There are many ways in which one can get root access to an Android device. Some of the most popular rooting tools include Towelroot, Z4Root, KingoRoot, PurpleDrake, WinDroid, PingPong, Wug’s Toolkit and Root Genius just to name a few. There are, of course, many others still available like the Vroot, Framaroot, Bin4ry, SRS and Squabbi. There’s now a new name in town to join the said rooting tools and its name is KingRoot. Dubbed the new rooting tool that can root almost any Android smartphone or tablet, KingRoot is available to download for users running Android 3.1 Honeycomb. Once you have it on your device, you can root the handset in just one click.
