What is Rooting ???

Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's sub-system.

Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.

As Android derives from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access administrative permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

In short ROOTING gives a new life to your android phone and sometimes may be the cause of you sleepless nights if it is not done carefully.

Adding a recovery to your phone will allow you to install .zip ROMs (Thats all you ever wanted to do..!!). You can access to it in the menu android phones have when booting the phone after removing-inserting the battery and pressing "volume down" and "power" buttons simultaneously. (Other phones have different button combinations). You need to follow following steps :

• Download A310E Recovery.zip


• extract it in any window on your PC (ie: C:\HTC).


• run the recovery.bat with phone in fastboot mode (first option in the "3 android menu" ) and connected with usb.

Done! You got the recovery installed if no errors, you can now install any compatible .zip ROM or app.

Root The Device

Go through following steps to root your device : -

• Place the Superuser.zip (can be found in the zip file you downloaded above) file somewhere in the microSD first.


• Go into Recovery mode ("volume down" + "power").


• install Superuser.zip with the option "install .zip from sd" from the recovery menu.

Note : after rooting don't restore to factory setting if you don´t want to end up in a bootloop, if this or similar happens you have to install a custom rom to fix it.
