How To Root Any Android Manually
Hello there I am more Of an android person I know a lot about android if you need help with it may it be hard or easy ask me. I will post a lot of stuff about starting from how to root it to creating apps and custom roms.

So today I will show you how to root an android.

What is Root?
Well basically rooting an android phone gives you full control over your phone and allows you to tamper with it as much as you want.

Warning!
Rooting an android phone may and will void your warranty. We are not responsible for any damages that may happen to your phone even though this is a very safe and easy method as long as you follow whats written.

Whats so great about this method:
This method is relatively easy and allows you to root almost any android phone as long as its 1.5 or higher and does not have much risk and also does not require any software.

What will you need!
You wont need any software or any thing that is too big to download you will need the following:

1.An Android phone that is 1.5 or higher.
2.A USB Cable.
3.A Computer.
4. Appropriate drivers for your device. You can find them in the CD that came with the phone or online from the manufacturers website or Google.
5.Android SDK/ADB from here. (Its a high file probably 500 MB you can skip it and download the next file but if you want to develop android apps and stuff download it.)
6.Android SDK files you need from here (download it if you skipped no.5).
7.SuperSu files you need from here.

What you will do:

Part 1:
Just extract what you have downloaded and copy everything from "SuperUserFiles" to "Android-SDK-tools".

For those who have downloaded SDK just install it and use the file in no.5 i will explain SDK in the next post.

Part2:
Go to your android and put it into Android Debugging Mode and if you don't what that is then you should not be here.

For GingerBread User's it is usually in

Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB Debugging

And For ICS And JellyBean it is in

Settings --> Applications --> Seveloper Options --> USB Debugging

Part3:

Now go to "SuperUserFiles" folder and press Shift+Right Click then click on "Open Command Prompt here.

Part4:

Be sure to run these commands exactly as they are written. The commands with an "$" or "#" will only run after the "adb shell" command. After writing "adb devices" your device id should be shown.

adb devices
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb shell
$ cd /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 777 psneuter
$ ./psneuter

At this point, the exploit will run and close the shell. You will need to run these commands to restart the ADB server.

adb kill-server
adb devices

It all depends on the next command. Use the

adb shell

command to open a shell. If you see a "#" sign, you have root access, so go ahead and continue to the next part of this tutorial. If not, you can go back and try the previous steps again, or ask for help in the comments.

We now need to make this root permanent. From the root shell you just opened, type the following commands.

# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb push su /system/bin
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
# exit
adb reboot

Now your device should reboot now and you should have SuperUser app in icon drawer, you should now use a root only app such as Root Checker.

If you have Any problems tell me in the comments and if you want me to help you in another problem may it be related to android or anything else tell me in the comments and I will surely reply.
