Ways to Get Root Access

If you would like to get root access, there are mainly two ways, either by exploit or by third party recovery. Most of the time is using third party recovery to get the root access. Because the exploit is hard to find, and also not every device is able to get root access via exploit. The most important thing for the exploit is the successful is not very high.  However, flashing the third party recovery has a much higher successful rate than the exploit, and most the device may get rooted by flashing third party recovery.

Before you start to root your device, there are some preparation work you should do first.
Unlock your bootloader.
Backup your important data.

TWRP

Flash TWRP

Flash a third party recovery is an imporant thing  before the rooting start.

Go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings.

Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging.

Back to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources enable it.

Download the TWRP.img and Kingoroot tools

Open the Kingo ROOT\tools folder. In the tools folder, type CMD at the address bar and press enter. Type the following command:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery (pull the twrp.img into cmd)

E.g.

fastboot flash recovery D:\Kingo ROOT\tools\twrp-3.0.2-0-flounder.img

fastboot reboot

SuperSU

Temporarily Booting TWRP

Download SuperSU-v2.46 to your device.

Boot into TWRP temporarily, if you have flashed the TWRP skip this step. Restart and then boot into TWRP

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot (pull the twrp.img into cmd)

Eg.

fastboot boot D:\Kingo ROOT\tools\twrp-3.0.2-0-flounder.img

fastboot reboot

Tap on “Install” and select the SuperSU zip file that you downloaded to your device. “Swipe to Confirm Flash” at the bottom of screen to begin the flash. This will install SuperSU and allow root access automatically.
