It’s possible that Google and the OEMs patch the security vulnerability in future software updates in the year’s ahead. Therefore, we do not guarantee this guide will work forever.

Backup all your files as rooting your Android One smartphone might lose data on your phone. You can install third-party application from Google Play that can back up just about any Android device, including anything out of this range. In case you didn’t already know, the Helium for Android application is one of the more popular apps to use this year.

Charge your phone up to 40% for hassle-free rooting. Furthermore, you should unlock the Android One bootloader by following our simple guide. After you have followed the guide for rooting you might also want to install CWM recovery on Android One.
