How to Root Any Android Device in a Single Click Without PC

Android is becoming one of the most popular OS for smartphones as it provides a lot more freedom and room for customizations. A stock Android phone comes with plenty of pre-installed apps which are not used by most of the users. Each of these pre-installed apps eats up your RAM, CPU, and battery in the background, indirectly slowing down your device performance. In this guide, we’re going to guide you through different processes of rooting your Android phone without a PC.

One of the main reasons for rooting is to uninstall these bloatwares and customizations. Before proceeding, make sure you know what rooting is, the advantages and disadvantages of rooting, and how it could affect your smartphone’s warranty. Nowadays, a single click rooting doesn’t work for latest Android versions. Rooting any Android device is now done by bootloading, TWRP, and then installing Magisk or Supersu.zip files. 

Note: We won’t be responsible for any damage to your device while following any of the below-mentioned steps. You’re held solely responsible for your decision of rooting your Android smartphone.

Pre-requisites:

1. Charge your phone upto 40%
2. Make sure you have unlocked your device’s bootloader. You can refer our guide for unlocking the bootloader on your Android device.
3. Backup data. Although Rooting doesn’t delete your data but its better to backup your important data like Contact & messages.
4. We won’t be held responsible for any damage caused during any of this process.
