Rooting any Android device in 2025 has become more accessible with universal methods that work across different brands and models. This comprehensive guide covers everything from one-click solutions to manual rooting procedures.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer: Rooting your device will void your warranty and may cause permanent damage if done incorrectly. Always backup your device and understand the risks before proceeding.

Universal Rooting Methods

These methods work across multiple Android devices regardless of brand or model:

Method 1: Magisk Root (Recommended)

  • ADB and Fastboot tools

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. 1Download latest Magisk ZIP from official GitHub

  5. 5Install Magisk Manager APK

SuperSU is the traditional rooting method, best for older devices where Magisk isn't compatible.

Requirements:

  • Unlocked bootloader
