Appendix 2: How to root an Android Phone

Typically, we should clear that the rooting is the Android equivalent of jailbreaking which means you can install the unapproved Apps, delete unwanted bloatware, replace the firmware, and over lock the processor. If you don't know how to root an Android phone, you can just navigate to a third-party root app called Kingo Root to get some inspirations.
