How to root your Android device?
Dreamhost
Android is a mobile operating system based on Linux and the main user is the admin user, who has all the permissions to access the entire Android operating system (OS). Like other mobile OS, Android app works in the sandbox to protect your Android device from threats as well as exploitation.
On a regular Android device, you do not have root access but the root user is always present in the system. You can't access the root user with any built-in features, so "user" is the only way to access and use the root user account.
How to root Android
Basically, rooting an Android device is like jailbreaking an iOS device, allowing apps more access, permission, and working with lower-level systems. Root user access lets you run a firewall on your Android device, as well as remove blatware, enable tethering internet, manually backup application settings, and use lots of tweets. If you want to use a specific Android application and it must have root access, you need to root your Android device.
What should you know before rooting your Android device?
Usually Google and manufacturers do not recommend you to root Android devices as it makes your Android OS more vulnerable. After the original, most apps are able to work outside of the sandbox and can abuse and snoop on the basic opportunities in other Android apps. For example, if you're using Google Wallet, someone might try to attack your Android devices and use your Google Wallet account.
In some manufacturers' terms, you will lose the warranty if the device is rooted. The root process does not actually damage the hardware. You will only be able to unroot the device by retrieving the stock firmware and the manufacturers will not know if it is rooted.
Basically rooting is a safe process, but if you make some noise you can't expect any free fix from warranty service. So make sure you know exactly what to do in the next step or how to recover in case of an error on your Android device. I would advise you to backup your data and important files before rooting your Android device. If you don't know how to backup the device, the easiest way is to use Android File Transfer to copy your important data and files.

Rooting is an easy and quick process, but there is no standard way to root all devices. I will list a few popular tools that will help you root your Android device quickly and securely. If your Android device is not supported, check out the XDA Developer Forums, look for your device in sub-forums with your specific model for solution.
Kingo route
Kingroot
It is one of the most popular root tools that supports a large number of Android devices. You can take a look at the supported list to see if your device is supported. The website also claims that this is an incomplete list, with lots of "unlisted" devices, but does not mean "not supported".
Kingo Root is a Windows application and you need to download the app to your Windows computer, enable USB debugging, connect your Android device to the computer and then Kingo Root will try to root the device automatically. It is also available as an Android application, you need to download the .apk file, install the app as an external application and use it to root your device. If you want to install and use applications from "unknown sources", go to Settings> Security and then "Enable applications from unknown sources".

Towels
TowelRoot is another app that runs on Android OS, lets you root your Android device with a few simple steps. The TowelRoot app was developed by GeoHot, you can view the website address here, download the .apk file, install the TowelRoot app and use it to root your device.
I suggest you install the Supersu app from Google Play, this app will ask you and control which app will be accessed by the root user and give you an option to grant or deny access. This is an easy way to control application permissions and deny unwanted access.
