* What is Rooting?

 Rooting enables a normal user to have administrator permission by hacking a mobile OS. The term originated from the act of obtaining administrator permission in Linux.

 Android uses the Linux kernel, and “root” is the ultimate account on Linux. In other words, rooting can change the Android OS user authority to “super user” to add new

 features not supported by Android OS or delete supported features. The cons of rooting is that user may experience a phone malfunction and cannot receive a proper service.
