Tips to Increase the Success Rate of Recovering Photos from Samsung Phone

For some device, the Android Data Recovery needs to get privilege to scan data of your Android. Rooting means gaining root access to your device. When you take your phone out of the box, while there are plenty of settings you can tweak, you can only alter what the manufacturer allows you to. By gaining root access you can modify the device’s software on the very deepest level. So if FonePaw is not able to get the privilege, it can’t scan lost data on your Android.

Acquiring root access essentially grants you elevated permissions. With root access, you are able to access and modify files that would normally be inaccessible, such as files stored on the /data and /system partitions. Having root access also allows you to run an entirely different class of third-party applications and apply deep, system-level modifications.

And rooting in a correct way will not bring any viruses. Please use the way that we have provide to root your Android without data loss..
