Gaining the root access gives you the privileges to install various applications to enhance the performance of your device, allows you to remove the built-in applications/programs, helps you to upgrade the battery life of your device & install the apps which require the root access for the proper functionality and modify your device in so many other ways e.g using mods and custom roms. By installing custom recovery, you can flash custom roms in the phone easily. Custom recovery also let’s you backup your current rom and restore it in case of any mishap. There is a laundry list of things you can do after having your device rooted and installed the custom recovery, now once you’re rooted and have installed custom recovery, go ahead and enjoy it on your phone. Here’s our collection of 10 Best Root Apps.
Let’s move forward to the root method. Here are some important pre-cautions and pre-requisites that you may keep in mind before you use this method.

stuck on waiting for device!
@disqus_WgHtFLVySR:disqus it's connection issue. Please connect your device properly.
the device is connected and thers the blue light light yet its still waiting!!
@disqus_WgHtFLVySR:disqus this is an issue with the drivers. You got to install your drivers properly. Please do some research work on how to solve this issue, this is not a big problem. You either are connecting it without install drivers or something else. You may install sony flashtool, using flashtool drivers, install Fastboot drivers for sony specifically and then connect it.
hi..what should i iype in Command Promote. that is "Fastboot Flash Boot boot.img" or "
"Fastboot Flash Reacovery recovery.img"..coz i download the kernel file and renamed it with recovery..plz elp
@syedmashrurmehdiragib:disqus recovery.img is the name of the file you are going to flash if the file is kernel.elf you should flash it as fastboot flash boot kernel.elf if the file is kernel.img you should flash it as fastboot flash boot kernel.img while the name followed by the extension may vary, for example Mashrur.img or Mashrur.elf if you renamed kernel with recovery, the command will be Fastboot flash boot recovery.elf or recovery.img | use small letters in commands.
pleas say anything
