Rooting an Android device is equivalent of prison breaking, it means unlocking the Android operating system so that you can install apps that are unapproved by Google, by rooting you can update your Android OS, you can replace the firmware, you can overclock or underclock the processor, you can customize just about anything, and so on.
For the average Android user, of course rooting sounds like a scary process. After all, rooting your smartphone's core software might seem like a disaster recipe. Your one wrong step and your smartphone will turn into a dummy.
Thankfully, now there is a new windows utility that make the process of rooting a one click affair, and makes easy for you to root the device. For rooting your device download the Kingo Android Root software, this is a free software, this software is tested on Virgin Mobile Supreme and later ones with an asus nexus 7, it works like a charm. Before starting check the compatibility list, keeping in mind that if your device isn't on it, the utility may work with it. Now get ready and start :
Step 1: Download and install the Kingo Android Root software on your windows PC.
Step 2: Enable USB debugging mode on your Android Smartphone. If you are running Android 4.0 or 4.1, tap settings, developer options, then tick the box for USB debugging. If you are Android 4.2 user, tap settings, about phone, Developer options, and then tick USB debugging. Then tap OK to approve the settings change.
For Android 4.3 and later(Android 5.0 and 5.1), tap settings, about phone, then scroll down to build number. Tap it seven times, at which point you should see the message "You are now a developer!".
With that done, tap settings, about phone, developer option and tick USB debugging. Then tick OK to approve the settings change.
Step 3: Run Kingo Android Root on your PC, then connect your phone via USB sync cable. After a moment, the former should show the Connection to the latter. Your device screen may show an "Allow USB debugging" pop-up. Tick "Always allow from this computer" then tap OK.
Step 4: Click root and wait till the utility does its things. The aforementioned Samsung Galaxy S5 took all about 6 minutes, including the automated root at the end.
And that's all, now your device is rooted. If you decide you want to reverse the process, just run the Kingo Android Root again, connect your phone then click remove root again.
