Rooting is relatively common among Android users, especially more advanced ones. It used to be a more complex process, requiring more effort, dedication , and time. Now it's much simpler: we run a small script, the phone restarts, and that's it. It's so easy, in fact, that sometimes we don't even know if our smartphone or tablet has been rooted. Well, finding out is very simple, and we just need to use a very simple but equally useful application: Root Checker.
The post could almost have ended there, since all that remains is to search for the application, download it, and press the corresponding button. However, it does not hurt to highlight the moments in which the application can be useful. For example, if you have taken the device for release to an unofficial store, or if you have left it to a friend or acquaintance to perform an action that you do not know how to do, in that case you may have the device rooted (with permissions super user) and you don't even know it.
Have you bought the second-hand mobile? Ok, it works well, but do you know it thoroughly? Do you know if it is rooted? In all these situations, it can be very useful to know the state of the device. Not because it is important at this precise moment, but in case the device breaks down in the future and they ask us if it was rooted to determine what the incident could have been. Or even in case we are interested in starting to fiddle a little more in depth with our smartphone and we want to know if we can start right now.
It's simple. Go to the Google Play Store and download and install a free, lightweight app called Root Checker . You'll see some pop-up windows at first related to the app's developer, which you can completely ignore. Once you're on the main screen, just tap the main button, which says "Verify Root Access." It will then ask for root access, which you can grant if you have superuser privileges. If your phone is rooted, it will display a congratulatory message in green. If it's not rooted, it will display a red message. That's the only function of Root Checker , and it's not dangerous or harmful to your device.
