One App. One Button. One Click. Your device is rooted. It’s darn simple rooting an Android Phone using the Z4Root Android App, a very unique one.
The app’s better than all other methods/procedures for rooting your droid but be sure to check out whether it supports your handset or not. Even if it doesn’t support, it won’t cause any harm as the developer of the app — RyanZa, a well known XDA member — states that it will simply boot the device up in original un-rooted condition.
Quick Tip: Before using this app, restart your phone first. It won’t cause any harm if you forget to restart phone before using this app, but it might not work i.e. not root your phone. The z4root android app takes doesn’t take too long to root your phone, it should be around 10 seconds to couple of minutes — this is as far as my trials of the app suggests, so it’s not a dead line.
Also, if the z4root doesn’t root your device in the first instant, remove the battery and then boot your phone. It should be able to root your phone within minutes, if not 15-20 seconds.
Download Z4Root:
The app is available on the android market as of now, so scan the QR Code below or hit the download link underneath it.
Or, you can side load it — download the z4root apk on PC, move it to phone’s SD Card and install it from there. Plus, the link to official XDA Thread at the bottom also provides you the download link.
Worried about safety? Here is what RyanZA got to say:
Should be 100% safe – nothing on disk is changed besides the root binaries, so if something goes wrong, simply rebooting the device should fix up any and all issues. Let me know if you find any bugs!
