Print

Last last week we came to know that LG announced a big event on May 27th, possibly it’s for their upcoming 2014 flagship device LG G3 along with the first ever Android Wear OS powered LG G Watch. But still we are very happy with our current device LG G2, thus we keep playing with it. Last night we published how to upgread your LG G2 from Jelly Bean to KitKat (4.4.2). Hope you all enjoyed it. Today our goal is something very different and very challenging. Today we are going to root our device.

For those who heard the word Rooting for the first time, here is the answer:

Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access“) within Android’s sub-system.

For this guide we would like to thanks Erum Shakil, from Eden Droid for her contribution.
