More recently, smartphones of the brand HTC were considered one of the most advanced on the market. These are quite beautiful, reliable and high-performance devices that can cope with a task of almost any complexity in any situation. But also not cheap. The quality of the devices of the Taiwanese grandee did not displease anyone, but even with all their advanced characteristics and capabilities, many users considered it useful to get root-rights to Android on HTC. This is how the consumer works – he always wants better and more.
What are root rights
Root rights are the account of the main administrator, or, as it is also called, the superuser. At Android they are not provided at the software level by default. Initially, the system does not provide such a function, but sometimes access to the root folders is required, and it can be obtained using certain manipulations with the system.
Having received a profile or account with advanced features, the user gains a lot of privileges that are not available on the device out of the box. It can delete applications installed by the developer, enable additional and disable existing functions, overclock the processor or battery, and much more is available to it.

How to get root on HTC
The manufacturer protects the system very well, so the procedure for obtaining root on the NTS is considered one of the most difficult.
However, like other gadgets running the Andriod OS, smartphones and tablets from the Taiwanese manufacturer can be rooted using software methods. There are two methods available to the user:
- Using a computer.
- Using programs on the device.
The first is more reliable for NTS, therefore it is used most often. Experts use the installation of ClockworkMod Recovery, followed by flashing the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip archive and rebooting Android. Well, for ordinary users, simpler methods are more suitable. ADB RUN, SunShine and 360 ROOT programs are very effective, simplifying the process to a minimum.

Using 360 ROOT
This is one application that can root a new NTS in just a couple of clicks. Developed by the well-known Chinese company Qihoo 360, which pays great attention to its own reputation. Perhaps this is why the probability of successfully rooting with 60 ROOT is over 90%.
The application supports more than half a thousand brands and about ten thousand models of gadgets, including those under the latest OS versions Android. But it requires working with a computer and knowledge of the Chinese language. Don't be alarmed, the interface, although in Chinese, is downright simple.

Removing root rights
You can get rid of root on HTC in the following ways:
- Manually using the file manager. Any Play Market with advanced features will do.
- Software with the help of special software. The utilities can be found online at specialized sites and forums. Some are presented on the official websites of the developers.
In the first case, you need to do the following:
- Find and delete the .su file in the systembin and systemxbin folders.
- Reboot the device.
The method works great if the stock (official) unmodified firmware is installed. Otherwise, after the first reboot of the gadget, the rights are partially returned. By the way, the new firmware completely removes the traces of root, as well as the OS update.
In the second case, special programs are used.
