Towelroot
Rooting your Android phone or tablet involves connecting it to the PC, using ADB, and several other steps. But developer geohot has now released Towelroot, a new tool that makes rooting Android devices Kitkat as simple as installing an app and running it. Thanks to Geohot, that kid who first jailbroke an iPhone a long time ago, we have a root method that works for most Android device that are running Kitkat. After his long history of working in the jailbreaking community for iOS, he decided to release an app that can allow you to gain root access on a ton of Android Kitkat devices, with a few certain limitations:
no Motorola devices no HTC devices no devices that were created after June 3rd 2014 kernel build date must June 3 works on all phones running Android KitKat only! Here are the list of devices supported by Towelroot:
All Samsung Galaxy S5 variants All Samsung Galaxy Note 3 variants Galaxy S4 Active Google Nexus 5, 7 2013 Sony Xperia Z1 Compact LG G2 **If your device is not in the list above, the answer is : try it and see
In this guide, I’ll show you how to install the TowelRoot app as he calls it and what else to do once you have root to protect the device by managing what apps can use this new found root access.

Here it goes!
I. Before You Begin You must be using a KitKat device. There are a bunch of ones that work, but nowhere has a good list of them all so I’d suggest giving this a go and if it doesn’t work, there’s no harm done it’ll just fail. Please let us know any other device it does work for in the comments quickly to help others out.

II. Root the Android Device Go to Settings Security and check Unknown Sources ON to allow us to install third-party apps. On your phone, head to http://adf.ly/tYqWX Tap on the Lambda the big red letter looking icon in the middle of the site. Save the tr.apk file to your device. Pull down the notification shade by pulling down from the top of the device. Tap on the Download Complete notification. Tap Install. Pull down the notification shade by pulling down from the top of the device. Tap on Installation Complete to open the app. Tap on the Make it Ra1n button and wait for it to do its thing. You should get a success notice, that’s it, you’re rooted. III. Test Root Access Go to the Play Store on your device. Search for Root Checker. Tap on the result and install it. Once done, tap the Open button. Tap Run and make sure it says you are rooted. IV. Install SuperSU When you’re doing above steps, though, you may notice that you weren’t asked to grant Root Checker superuser permissions. This is because Towelroot doesn’t install a root management app—it just gives root to any app that asks for it.
This is a serious security risk, because malware apps can do some significant damage to your phone with root permissions. An app that covertly installed itself on your phone could automatically receive root privileges without you ever knowing.
To stop unauthorized apps from using the new found root access, we’ll install SuperSU.
Go to the Play Store on your device. Search for SuperSU. Tap on the one by Chainfire and install it. Once done, tap the Open button. Allow it to update it’s binaries and anything else it prompts you to do. V. Update the SuperSU Binaries Launch SuperSU Tap Continue to begin Choose Normal as your method of installation At this point, you may see a screen asking you to delete Samsung’s Knox security feature. If prompted, just tell it No thanks. When the process is finished, you’ll get a confirmation dialog. As it says, for the changes to take effect, you’ll need to reboot your phone—go ahead and do that at this time. When you’re back up, any root app will have to explicitly ask your permission to gain access to the system partition of your phone. Just press Grant for an app that you trust, and any suspicious apps can be denied root access by choosing Deny on the same dialog.
