Best Root Apps for Android Phones and Tablets


This is a list of the best root apps available for Android phones and other devices. After you get a new Android phone or a tablet, a user who knows how to get the most out of your Android device will always try to unlock its bootloader and then root the device for full system access. We, at Team Android, have compiled a list of the best, cherry-picked and our favourite Android root apps that we think are a essential part of your Android device after rooting it.

What is root? Root is basically giving/getting administrator rights on your phone or tablet so that you can do tweaks, install custom ROMs, modify system apps and such. Every root app has a different purpose so try what you like.

Best Root Apps

Ever heard of Odin? If yes, then it is the exact same thing but you will not have to use a PC for this. If no, Odin is basically a free tool used to flash/update device specific firmware provided by the manufacturer, mostly for Samsung phones and tablets. There are many releases of Odin available online, and you can download them all here: Download Odin (All Versions). Just a quick note, most of the official firmware updates for Samsung devices we have on Team Android, make use of Odin. That is the PC version, but you can get the same functionality on mobile as well with Mobile ODIN. It’s $4.99, but we can assure you it is worth every single penny.
