Information on Root Rights
Root rights in the Android operating system can be likened to obtaining a "master key" to the device. Usually, when a user operates a device, they are only allowed to do what is safe and cannot harm the main functions of the system. For example, it's like being allowed to visit only certain rooms. However, when a user has root rights, they gain full access to all functions and files of the system, including those that are usually hidden or protected. In this case, the user becomes the owner of all rooms and has the keys to them, including service and technical rooms. With root rights, a user can:
- Install special software;
- Change important system settings;
- Delete pre-installed applications;
Having root rights also entails risks: the user can accidentally delete or modify critically important files, leading to the malfunctioning of the device or even its breakdown. Therefore, obtaining root rights requires technical knowledge and great responsibility.
