Rooting is sometimes necessary if you know the huge opportunities your phone is open to against the restrictions set by phone manufacturers.

Rooting really helps you to get rid of the restrictions put forward by phone manufacturers and give more flexibility to make modifications as you wish.

But rooting has its own risk. As soon as you root an android phone, the manufacturer no longer supports your phone whether or not it is inside guarantee or warranty time frame. Here are some safety measures to take before rooting Android mobile phone.

1. Backup data

One of the most important of all process is to back up data. Rooting your Android comes along with its own risk. There is always a chance of rooting being not successful despite when it is done by a professional. Just in case if it failed, you might lose out all the data and it might even make your phone unusable. So ensure you understand the risk, have a backup and after that continue with the rooting process.

2. Maintain enough charge in your battery

When you do a rooting, it undergoes a number of processes that includes making changes to firmware and software. This procedure takes a lot of resources and that means a lot of power is drained from your battery. Just in case, if the battery is drained completely during updating firmware, you may find yourself in a situation where you can't start the process from the start or continue where it stopped. It means the phone is completely gone.

Ensure you start a rooting procedure when you have 100% battery charge to prevent the risk.

3. Find out about your Android

Before rooting, be sure you know the Android which is installed on your phone. Simply head to Settings -> About Device -> Software info -> Android version. Find out the Android version. Just in case, if the rooting didn't work, you should know the Android os that was already on your phone to restore it back.

4. Turn off security software

It is highly recommended to disable all security software such as Firewall, Antivirus as well as malware tools. Any time you try to do a rooting process, it will need to make changes to the Android Operating System. The security software's might attempt to block these modifications thinking the adjustments are made by malware. Given that these software's might disrupt the rooting process and even render it useless, it is recommended to turn off or better remove it from your phone before the rooting process.

5. Restore Firmware to defaults

If you are confident to carry on with rooting, it is highly recommended to restore your firmware to default. By doing this, you have a high chance of success when rooting.

6. Understand the rooting process

Even though you are new to the rooting procedure, it is strongly recommended that you understand the process fully before giving it a try practically. Look up relevant books or it is highly recommended to check out related video clips which show the rooting process thoroughly. If you are fortunate, you may even see the whole rooting procedure done on the same model as your phone.

Learn which is the most effective process to root your phone and ways to do it before making the updates.

7. Learn how you can enter recovery mode

Android Stock recovery is a troubleshooting mode in which you can eliminate everything and set up from beginning. This is very important if something bad happens during the process of rooting.

The method to go into Android stock recovery mode is easy. Press the Power button + Volume Up + Home button at the same time.
