WARNING:
As most people these days know, rooting your Android device WILL void your warranty. So if you do not want to obliterate your warranty, do not continue through this thread! Also if you decide to follow my tutorial(s) on how to root your device, do not point the finger at me for any damage that might be caused to your device.

The easiest way I can sum it up for you is this, root = jail break. Meaning you, as the user, now have FULL CONTROL over your device, with very very little limitations. With root you can receive so many benefits including, but not limited to, installing custom roms, recoveries, kernels, boot animations, and so much more!

Depending on if your device peaks the eyes of any Android developers, your device might not have a root method at all, its on its way to having a root method, or it a root method is available to install at your convenience.

If you are an Android newbie, there are many factors to consider before saying 'Yes' or 'No' to rooting your device. Your warranty and the well being of your device. What I mean when I say your devices well being is that you CAN NOT mess the rooting process up, doing so just might give you a HARD BRICK for Christmas.

Links to my tutorials involving root will be available when the tutorials are made public.

At first glance, rooting can sometimes appear to be a method of destroying your phone, but that's only if you don't know how root works. Rooting is actually really easy, I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and my Samsung Galaxy S4 Sprint with no troubles.

But, in a nutshell, rooting is basically giving you COMPLETE ACCESS & CONTROL of your device, like I said, with very little limitations, the only thing that could be stopping you is either an error message from Odin, your device might not have a root method online right now or boot loops.

That's my basic explanation of what root is, if you liked this thread, please feel free to read my tutorials and other threads down below (when they become available)
