If you have one then today I will tell you how to root yours. This article will guide you through the root process using Odin software, do not skip any step or part of this article or you will end up with a bricked device.

Android rooting comes in handy in may situations, including when you want to customize your device or want to install any custom ROM or kernels. Some apps also need root access of your device’s internal system so it can work properly. Rooting your device is not recommended by Google or your device’s manufacturer. Rooting your device also voids your device’s warranty so root your device at your own risk.
