Without this guy android authority shouldn't be called what it is.
truuuuuuueee
Agree!
Basically, Gary is root!
+Bro Swirski LOL :-)
Exactly!
"I am......ROOT!!!"
He should be called Prof.Gary, without him AA is incomplete. :)
Lol... But agreed.
Gary always bringing technical knowledge to us. Thank you, not because you gave a brief explanation of what Root is to everyone, but to encourage (maybe) regular users to learn more before doing things. Very nice Gary, you sure gained my thumbs up. Say hello to Brazil :D
Great video and very accessible! I've been rooting phones for years, but have never really understood the process as well as I do now. Thanks!
Your work is great. You deserve definitely more views...
You explained this very well. Good work Gary.
Thanks for clearing out all the rooting method
i like the black and white saying of either you are a user or a super user....way to go, Gary!!!!
"Either you are a user, or a superuser".
That slogan would go great, on a pack of condoms, or a drug dealer's way of saying "Hello" to his customers.
Thank you, Gary ... I really appreciate your explanations ...!
One of the best segments
really digging this new "Gary explains" series.
I wonder why...
+Gary Pickrell IV Garys of the world unite!
He is a pretty good root to be honest. He loves a root too :D
Great video, I enjoy learning about the topics.
wow super informative. Being a new samsung user, new to android as well, (die hard apple fan here just thought i should give android a chance ) i always wondered why rooting trips knox, thus rendering mobile pay useless. This video helped me understand the sensitivity of that information. using Samsung Pay I would definitely not want my banking information comprised by 3rd party apps or anyone at that. of course not everyone gets hacked but we aren't immune to it either and rooting creates this sort of back door to possibly malicious people/developers. It just gives us another reason to be careful about these privileges. thanks for the awesome video!
You should do a video about custom ROMs
tru
yup i agree with that
u mean for psp? coz i know of
No xJTxDOnot PaNiC for Android.
so u can play psp games on android right?
Your videos are the best Gary!
thanks gary you really keep us informed about our curiosity
Nice as always Gary. Could you please make a video explaining threads and processes?
+Tech A.M I like that idea... let me see what I can do!
Awsome Explanation...
I love Gary this guy knows what he talks about, and teaches you in simple terms. Good job AA you hired a great computer scientist
Thanks for the compliment, so much love.😊😊
Gary Pickrell IV lol
+Juanito Sanchez did you mean "You're Welcome."?
Gary - nice overview. I am of the pro-root opinion. The first phone I rooted was the Note2 , which I rooted to gain multi-window access for all apps - not just the ones Samsung thought I should use. The ability to gain root access is a go/no go for me to consider purchasing a phone. I'm on AT&T, so the GN2 was the last Samsung phone I purchased - even though I like Samsung's hardware. Went to M8, OPO, and Nexus 6 largely because of ease of root (OK, the M8 was a bit of a pain to root & S-off, but at least HTC was cooperative in unlocking bootloader.) Of course, one needs to read, watch videos, and take care when rooting, but I enjoy the freedom I gain with root.
Dick B. exactly when it comes it comes to ease of root nothing beats the Oneplus decice and Google one
Personally, when I am chasing a root. A love a challenge. A good root will never come easy. The easy roots.
Is it good to root my phone just because i want to flash a custom rom or a newer version of android??
If you have a root manager (like SuperSU) then it patches the vulnerabilities to get root access, so if you root your device will be safer.
and install antivirus as it is very effective to increase the security..i have two warning from antivirus that tell the apps have malware..i use Cm security with heuristic engine turn on..
Gary is the CS teacher all of us wished we had in our college.
Hey buddy you are doing a great job! When I see something saying Harry explains I know I will watch and enjoy and learn something. Keep working! You the best!
+Miguel Ciobanu Yeah, good old Harry, I love his videos!!! :-)
+Gary Sims hahaha you know what I mean. Gary! XD
Good information Gary.
Many thanks.
yoo
youre welcome
Thank you, very informative.
Pretty good video! Next time I type in sudo, I'll consider that a second time.
I cant root my phone, OEM has bootloader locked, so your saying I can install the LineageOS onto my phone to get Root when it's Not Rooted already?
can you do a video of the benefits and draw backs of android encryption please
im rly if im wrong but im pretty sharp when it comes down to these thing i think ur camera focus is ever so slightly off focus and kinda auto focus every now and then
Hello Gary,
Just watched your video "what is root?" Just a few questions.
Along with the comment you made about servers collecting data from the phone, what about an encrypted device? Would this be the way to go? I have read in our Cybersecurity and forensics courses that it is possible to root a phone for one-time access. If Access is needed again, then the phone could be rooted again without system damage. Is this true? If this possible what about disabling WIFI on the device? Therefore, no information could be sent to servers around the world. I am thinking it would be the same thing as Doing a malware Analysis on a Virtual machine using a host only network (VMware). What say you?
Thanks :)
P.s. Keep up the great work. You are AWESOME!
Thank you, much appreciated info...
can any one help me i just downloaded kingroot pc edition and connected my device my device showed " download and install package 'i conformed it now it just stuck at that same page and i cant go to recovery mode too
you are awesome man, i really like your videos.
Propably the smartest person from android authority. Gary, you da real MVP
mabey the only smart person
thanks a lot i regularly watch your video particularly.
Please let me know the best way to root my Galaxy A20, 3 months old, straight talk is the carrier
I thought root user is indicated by a # instead of $ in command line
Wow. Great information, well put and understandable. I had root on my last 2 phones, however, I've decided not to root this one. S6EDGE+. Its actually not needing anything changed that I would need. Kinda like the slimmed down tw. Have changed all. My passwords with LastPass now though. Maybe been compromised with previous phones. Better safe than sorry. Thanks Gary.
Which is the standard shell for Android user, is it available for everyone?
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you Garry
Thanks for the video. Please make more like this Gary. :)
i use root since the old days of my galaxy ace back 2012 and I never regretted it for a second. The world of cm and xposed is just to good to pass up
it is safe to install xposed??. I'm very scare to install it. I heard the chance that i will bricked my phone is high. I want to use greenify with xposed..
it's true there's chance it could brick it but very unlikely if do everything acoring to procedure it realy shoud not brick your device and even if it does it's not hard to fix it
only Gary can crack his voice on a video and still be respected
This game you might write, correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t it get automatic root access on a rooted phone, if another app (root manager) hadn’t been installed
Is it possible to avoid warranty risks even after rooting
TRYING TO LEARN THE BASH TERMINAL, AND MY WAY AROUND THE FILE SYSTEM AND NIT GETTING VERY FAR, OR SO IT SEEMS S
I personally have stopped rooting my phones. My last two phones where LG G3 and V10 respectively and I'm able to use them they way I need to even if they are not rooted. Good job LG!
What about root in ubuntu touch ?
With this channel and Gary's narration, my weekend is complete!
Hello, I just installed Kingroot (a friend recommended it to me)...so my phone is rooted now...
But since I am not very tech savvy, I am unsure as to what to do now to that I have root access...
I'm kind of like...so now what and what was the point??? :-/
Any advice???
thanks you for the info man
Gary is rooting device safe? after rooting u are more prone to virus and encryption is low ?
Please explain more about VPN addresses, how they protect, and encrypt data
I seriously want to root my phone but in pc detection the pc see my smart phone connection is in portable device even i remove the sd card still portable and i asked the service for this phone that is already off warranty neither valid they say the phone got strict secure system in it. I feel no idea about it so i need confirm
Informative.. Loved the video :)
Huh, and for years I thought "su" stood for *super*user.
+LifeWulf I think that "superuser do" is also an accepted interpretation because some people call the"su" command the superuser as well.
switch user
in computer science trees grow with the root on top and the branches downwards. in woods opposite.
thanks very informative this was useful :)
what us kernal and flashing, i encounter this term in rooting my device. can you explain?
+kent vun What is a kernel is my next video!!! :-)
hi gary, when should i root my phone?
Gary's changed quite a bit the past few years
personally for what i want to do im on the:
"not to root"
side..
I'll find another way as it does sound dangerous and im not experienced
Do you know how to recover pictures after a factory resit without using root?
Hi garry I liked your vedio
Sorry I watched it very late
But can you explain what is Xposed
I need that.nice job
Does anybody know how can i reduce the screen resolution in Xiaomi Redmi note 5?I am talking about the phone with the Snapdragon 636 with the AI camera,and the resolution that you get right out of rhe box,2160x1080,i would like to have 1280x720,in order to inxrease battery life.
I still wonder, where's the # for a root shell on the video?
For those who don't know, Windows has a SYSTEM account
Moving from a rooted g2 with a custom ROM to a g5 with no way so far to root is such a hard transition, at least the g2 still has several roms being updated all the time
why dont windows os work in android phone?or vice versa?
Great video
Gary Sims, you da real MVP 👊☝✊
good information greetings from mexico
may be Google could create a su/sudo feature for Android, so users can do certain useful tasks which requires root access, such as uninstalling non stock built-in apps
It already exists via Linux. If you're talking about a hidden "enable root privileges" setting, then yes, I agree. I'd love to see that, properly hidden so that nobody turns it on without knowing what it entails.
Where is Josh?? Its been sometime didnt see him in any of the videos.
Gary=garage of android, nice explanation
why my super su didn't run? I need to update but I have an already updated app super su!!
Nice video😊
A question here.
Will flashing cyanogenmod actually reduce the photo or video quality compared to my stock LG camera with stock LG software?
+Yu Lee no..those things are embedded in the camera module itself..certain things like manual mode will be lost but the picture quality wont be hampered that much
+Najeé Morais what about the processing? Since it is a change in software, the way cyanogenmod process the photos and video is different from the way LG process, right?
+Yu Lee yes...but cyanogenmod is like pure android so expect processing to be the same as a nexus
So basicly when you root your phone you can do anything?
The video style is very good much like that of computerphile
if you still don't get it -
it's an advanced, much advanced version of what windows administrator mode does !!
Awesome!
su is NOT a command to gain access to just root privileges.
With su you can access to all kind of account privileges.(As long as you know the password of the account in question or you're root.)
I am a root user (but not only root, also Xposed framework) and I installed it with the 4th way.
I flashed a custom recovery via a usb cord over the pc via a bootloader from the manufacturer (SPflashtool).
With this custom recovery I was able to flash the root binaries.
The funny thing about it, is that I used nearly the same technique (boot the system of an nintendo ds flash card using an manufacturer method) in order to to install an otf patcher (called cfw although it is not) to my nintendo 3ds. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custom_firmware#Nintendo_3DS)
It gains me "root access" so full access to everything on the device. What a funny coincidence!
man this made me really think about keeping my devices rooted especially rooted through apps like kingoroot and others
there is an app in the playstore called SuperSUme which once rooted with kingroot it will remove kingroot and replace the su binaries with SuperSU instead which in my opinion is much much safer , just don't give root to apps that you don't know much about...
thanks
I had no idea how the FBI VS Apple battle was proceeding.
Great video!
The fbi found and are now using a company in Israel to unlock the iPhone
Adidasp4 Yeah, have they been successful?

Adidasp4 Thanks!
Hey Gary,
may I ask what linux distro you use if you use linux on any x86?
I hope you see this :)
you might have better chance with your question on the AA forums. links are on the video description.
+Ajith Menon guess you are right!
an easy to use linux distribution is mint.
install it in a virtual machine and see what you can do with the apps installed in the distro.
Hello! I serched up root on youtube and found this video. I hava a problem. I installed an emulator to play a certain game on pc and it says I need to remove Root authorty and I don't know what that means. Pls help
Your emulator in pc is rooted lol
Hi Gary - I have a Smsng Tab4 edge I want to root so I can erase a bunch of junk.
I am in Berkeley CA - if I can find/pay someone 2 do that 4 mee... Should I NEVER EVER use my Tab4 to do banking or shopping etc? Is there any sort of firewall That I could install to protect data in a rooted cellphone? @ about 7minutes in2 this vid u mention the first method & say: " its easy" ... can u say where I could read the step by step procedure 4 my Tab4 cellphone? My Idea is: find an expert & pay 2 have it done... I don't know... 50$ ??? is that a good price 2 have it done ??? & or what method do u say? I see in UA-cam a few things mentioned: "ODIN" ??? "KINGROOT" ??? I am not competent 2 du it myself. HOWEVER- I do like the idea of deleting junk & "changing things" in my phone.
Get an iPad. I think you'd like an iPad.
So root is the same as jailbreak?

How does one detect when root has been granted to a third party, and if granted, how can those privileges be revoked?
Amazing video out there..

Or is there any other hole in the wall..
#Oneplus2user .
Nice video
I thought SU meant superuser. Thanks!
