What are root rights

Root rights in UNIX and Linux-based operating systems (including Android) are superuser privileges that allow full control over the system.

Why root rights are needed

The following capabilities become available upon obtaining root rights:

1. Full access to system files and settings - this allows changing parameters that are usually inaccessible to regular users.
2. Installation and removal of system software - a user will be able to install or delete any programs, including those that interact with the system itself.
3. Modifying protected system settings - a user will be able, for example, to change network settings, manage processes of other users, and much more.

Root rights within the SmartPlayer platform

Root rights obtained by the user allow them to perform the following actions within the SmartPlayer platform using the device:

1. The ability to take screenshots
2. Setting timers for various reboots on the device
3. Performing a reboot of the device itself or the SmartPlayer application
4. The ability to set the time and date from the CMS

Obtaining Root Rights on the X4Q Ugoos Console

Initially, the user needs to go to the "Settings" section in the device. Next, it is necessary to navigate to the "Device preferences" section.

The "Device preferences" setting in the "Settings" section

The next step is for the user to find the section named "Superuser"

The "Superuser" setting

After entering the "Superuser" section, it is necessary to move the checkbox in the "Magisk" section to the active position.

The "Magisk" checkbox in the active position

After completing all these actions, the device will require a restart. This should be done by clicking "Yes".

If the device did not ask for a reboot, it is strongly recommended to do it manually. This action is necessary for the system to fully apply the settings set earlier.

The "Magisk" checkbox in the active position

Next, the user needs to install the SmartPlayer application. After installation, the application will ask to upgrade the Magisk version. In this case, it is necessary to press the "OK" and "Install" buttons.

Example of installing "Magisk"

After all manipulations, a window will appear with an offer to reboot the device:

• Reboot later - reboot later.
• Reboot Now - reboot now.

Reboot options

After rebooting, it is necessary to open the SmartPlayer application and agree with all the pop-up windows. It is necessary to press "Ok/Yes".
