If you are not using it, first type this in the host machine’s terminal (it will simply engage a shell with your phone/tablet): Now it’s time to root it! If you are using Android x86, press ALT+F1 and type the commands there instead of on the host machine. We just uploaded everything we need to the android device (under a temporary directory). system/app/Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apkĪdb push.

Connect your android device with ADB, and type these commands in the terminal (of your computer, not the android device, replacing “path/to/directory/ X/is/located” with the actual directory where X is located):Ĭd path/to/directory/superuser/is/locatedĪdb push. If it’s a virtual device, you don’t have to worry about it. Next, connect your android device to your computer (if it isn’t already), but make sure you do NOT mount it. Both: (I am seriously tired of upload websites constantly going down)įirst, open up your android device and navigate to Settings -> Applications -> Development, and make sure USB Debugging is on.Superuser (download the appropriate version, either ARM or x86):.

I can try to help, but I cannot guarantee that it will work 100% (it might even break your device).

Notice that you are on your own with rooting. If you have an android phone or tablet, you have an ARM CPU, and if you have a virtual android device (or have android installed on your computer), you have an x86 CPU. I have found a lot of tutorials on this subject, but none really supported Android x86 devices, so I decided to write my own here which will support both ARM and x86.
