Root Phone Without PC

Edited by Chris Stipe, Eng, Maria Quinney

Are you looking to take back control of your Android smartphone? Want to be able to root your phone without needing to connect to and use your PC? There's a utility app that can help with that! Introducing KingoRoot - take back total control over your Android smartphone in a snap.

This one-click Android solution for Android users makes this app easy to use and what's even better is you don't need to worry about going through the trouble of connecting your device to your PC via a USB cable. Although it's free and it works - it doesn't work with every Android device.

Before proceeding on with the rooting process, please make sure that you have the following requirements met:

  • Your device is powered ON.
  • Your device has over 50% battery level. (Providing your battery is healthy, otherwise, it is best to be at 100%)
  • Internet connection required (WiFi network suggested).
  • Allow installations of unknown sources.

The most straightforward way to use KingoRoot is to download and install the app version, which pretty much, in a nutshell, performs the root process on your device in one click, Remember though, that this process doesn't work with every Android device.

Here's how to do that (on most Android devices):

Enable Allowing Unknown Sources
