How to Root an Android Device

Introduction

In order to use the MobiSaver for Android tool to recover lost data, you should first root your Android phone.

To retrieve lost data using the MobiSaver for Android tool, you'll first need to gain root access to your Android device. However, acquiring root access can be a challenging task for regular users, as a single misstep could lead to a failed root process or even a bricked phone. Therefore, we've prepared a detailed guide to help you easily gain root access to your Android device.

Here are two options for you to choose from:

    Part 1: Getting Root Access on Your Android Phone or Tablet Using the Android SDK Root Tool (No Computer Needed)

    Part 2: Getting Root Access on Your Android Phone or Tablet Using a Computer

You can optionally follow the methods outlined here to easily and safely root your Android device.

    1. Go to Settings > tap on About phone > find and tap repeatedly on Build number to unlock Developer options.
    2. Navigate back to see Developer options > tap on Developer options > enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
