What does it mean to root an Android phone?
Rooting is a process that allows you to attain root access to the Android operating system code (the equivalent term for Apple devices id jailbreaking).
It gives you privileges to modify the software code on the device or install other software that the manufacturer wouldn’t normally allow you to.
What does it mean to have a rooted device?
Root: Rooting means you have root access to your device—that is, it can run the sudo command, and has enhanced privileges allowing it to run apps like Wireless Tether or SetCPU. You can root either by installing the Superuser application or by flashing a custom ROM that includes root access.
