How to root Huawei Honor Holly ?

How to root Huawei Honor Holly 

Steps to follow in the following series: 

1. Click on this link.
Here I've uploaded all the software/drivers that you would be needing to root. Hence download all the files in it to your computer.

2. After the download completes, install the apps and driver in the following series. [This is important]

ADB Installer 1.4.2

Handset_WinDriver_1.00.00.31

DriverAutoInstaller_v1.1236.00

Then,

iRoot 1.7.9.10454

3. Connect phone via USB

4. Bring down the notification panel and click on the USB icon

5. Enable USB Debugging and select storage as connect method. (Do not select MTP, Camera or CD Drive mode)

6. After selecting storage mode "Do not tap" on "Mount the storage as USB" button which is at the bottom of the screen. Doing this will make your memory card unavailable and the root process will also fail.

7. Open the iRoot app and let it detect your phone. Make sure you have an active internet connection, so that it can download the drivers and install it automatically. This causes you an additional download of about 30 MB. [Don't worry its all worth it] 

8. After that the iRoot will install 3 Chinese apps on your phone. Do not do anything with it, let it complete on its own.

9. If everything goes well you will see the green Root button. Click on it.

10. Make sure the phone is fully charged and you have UPS backup on your computer. Any interruption after you click the Root button in iRoot can make your phone unusable. So take huge precautions during the process. (You've been warned now) 

11. Wait for 2 mins now and don't do anything. The phone will restart after the process is completed. You can see the ongoing status on iRoot itself. 

12. After successful completion you will see the below screen on iRoot app on your computer screen. 



13. Your phone is rooted! 



14. Download SuperSU app from Play Store and install. Open SuperSU, the Chinese app will pop up so as to grant SuperSU root permissions or not, remember to tap the RIGHT button in the Chinese app which is a YES.

15. Download Root Cleaner and uninstall all the Chinese apps from your phone, you do not need them anymore now. 

16. Update your SuperSU binaries and reboot the phone. 

That's all. Enjoy!

How to root Moto E ?

How to root Moto E

If you have decided to root your Moto E, first of all take a look over the following list; there I have detailed the pre requisites tasks that must be performed before going any further or before applying the proper root operation – don’t skip this section as it is the most relevant one.

• Unlock the bootloader of your Motorola Moto E; you will not be able to complete this step by step guide unless you previously unlock the bootloader of your Android smartphone so apply this step first.
• Install TWRP recovery on Moto E; similar with unlocking the bootloader, gaining root access can’t be achieved unless a custom recovery image is being flashed on your device so take care of the same.
• Backup your data, especially the data which is saved on your phone’s internal storage memory – while trying to root your handset, your data might get wiped out or corrupted and you might end up in losing everything that’s important for you.
• At least save your contacts, text messages, call logs, market apps, internet settings, personal info, data and accounts and the current ROM by making a Nandroid backup.
• A computer is being required and your Moto E and its USB cord must be near you as you will have to connect your devices at some point.
• On your computer you should temporarily disable the antivirus and antimalware programs as the security protection might interfere with our work.
• Then, on your phone you should head towards “menu – settings – developer options” in order to enable the USB debugging option” – else you won’t be able to properly connect your device with your computer.
• You should charge your Moto E especially if the battery power is less than 60% – if your handset gets turned off in the middle of the root operation, it might also get damages or even soft bricked.
• This step by step guide, which is a root procedure, is compatible only with the Motorola Moto E, which means that you shouldn’t use the guidelines from below in case you own a different or similar Android smartphone or tablet.

How to Root Motorola Moto E

1. From here download the SuperSU app file.
2. Place this file on your computer, preferable on desktop – don’t unzip it.
3. Then connect your Moto E with your PC by plugging in the USB cord.
4. Up next, transfer the root file from desktop to your phone’s SD card.
5. Unplug the USB cord and turn off your device.
6. Enter recovery mode on your Motorola Moto E.
7. Then from recovery select “install zip from SD card” followed by “choose zip from SD card”.
8. Pick the root file which you have downloaded before and flash the same on your Moto E.
9. Wait while the installation procedure is being completed.
10. In the end select “reboot system now” and you are done.
11. In case you are experiencing issues with your phone, return to recovery and select “wipe data factory reset”, “wipe cache partition” and “wipe dalvick cache”. In the end, return to main menu of recovery and pick “reboot system now” – that should resolve all of your problems.

Congratulations, you have successfully learned how to root your Motorola Moto E. Since a custom recovery image is also installed on your phone, now you can easily update your smartphone with a custom ROM firmware such as CM11, AOKP or ParanoidAndroid – stay close as we will develop compatible step by step guides during the following days.

Top 10 Reasons to Root Your Android Phone

Android is one of the most open, versatile, and customizable mobile operating systems out there. You may think you don't need to root your phone, but you'd be surprised at how much more you can accomplish with a little work. Here are 10 reasons rooting your phone is worth the hassle.

10. Unlock Hidden Features and Install "Incompatible" Apps

Sometimes, even Android isn't open enough to give you some of the features you want. Either an app is blocked by carriers, hacks into Android's system files, or otherwise isn't available. Luckily, rooting can help with that: you can install carrier-blocked apps, get features from the latest version of Android, make incompatible apps compatible, power up your hardware, get features like Beats Audio from other phones, or emulate exclusive features like those on the Moto X. Whatever you want, rooting gives you the power to do a lot more.

9. Automate Everything

You've probably heard of Tasker, the awesome app that automates just about anything on your phone. You don't need to root your phone to use it, but if you're rooted, it can do a whole lot more. Certain tasks, like toggling 3G, GPS, changing CPU speed, turning the screen on, and others require root access. So, if you want to get the full benefit of an app like Tasker, you'll definitely want to root your phone. For more automation inspiration, check out your best Tasker actions, as well as our most recently featured Tasker tricks.

8. Boost Your Phone's Speed and Battery Life

You can do a lot of things to speed up your phone and boost its battery life without rooting, but with root—as always—you have even more power. For example, with an app like SetCPU you can overclock your phone for better performance, or underclock it for better battery life. You can also use an app like Greenify to automatically hibernate apps you aren't using—perfect for those apps that always want to run in the background when you're not looking.

7. Block Ads in Any App

Look, we of all people understand the need for occasional ads—it's how we make money. But ads can also get in the way and use up data. If you want to block ads in certain apps or on certain devices, rooting is by far the best way to do so. AdFree, AdBlock Plus, and Ad Away are all great options. Of course, if you aren't rooted, going into airplane mode works in a pinch too.

6. Back Up Your Phone for Seamless Transitions

When you move to a new Android device—or restore your device to stock for any reason—you can make your life a lot easier by backing up your apps and settings first. That way, you can get your entire setup back in just a few taps. If you aren't rooted, you can back up a few things like apps and data, but you won't necessarily be able to backup system apps and their data, or automate the entire process as well as Titanium Backup can. Check out our guide to Titanium Backup for more tips.

5. Remove Preinstalled Crapware

Titanium Backup is good for more than just backups, too. It can also uninstall that annoying, battery-draining, space-wasting crapware that comes preinstalled on so many phones these days—and, sadly, this feature is root-only. Freeze them first to make sure your phone operates normally without them, then delete them completely to free up that space. You'll be glad you did. Photo by Daniel Sancho.

4. Tweak the Dark Corners of Android

If you're the kind of person that likes to fiddle with every little feature—both on the surface and under the hood—rooting is for you. Whether you want to customize your keyboard layout withsomething like Keyboard Manager or give yourself faster scrolling, improved multitasking, and extra themes with Pimp My ROM, rooting gives you the power to tweak just about any corner you can think of. If you want to do it, chances are someone over on a forum like XDA has created a mini-app or tweak that will help.

3. Flash a Custom Kernel

Some of Android's most under-the-hood tweaks require a custom kernel, which you can only flash with a rooted device. The kernel is responsible for helping your apps communicate with the hardware of your phone, which means a custom kernel can give you better performance, battery life, and even extra features like Wi-Fi tethering (on unsupported phones), faster battery charging, and lots more. You can flash kernels manually or simplify the process with something like Kernel Manager.

2. Flash a Custom ROM

Okay, so you probably already know about this one—but it's one of the best benefits of rooting. A custom ROM is basically a custom version of Android, and it truly changes how you use your phone. Some merely bring a stock version of Android to non-stock phones, or later versions of Android to phones that don't have it yet. Some add a few handy features, some add lots of really unique features, and some change your operating system from head to toe. No matter what phone you have—even if it's a Nexus—we highly recommend checking out the custom ROMs out there. You won't be disappointed. Note: As some of you have noted, you don't actually need root access to flash a custom ROM—though you will need to unlock your bootloader (a process that sometimes comes bundled with root access). Still, it requires freeing your device from manufacturer lockdowns, so we've kept it in the list despite this technicality!

Android is great, but sometimes, the version you get with your phone—whether its vanilla Android or …Read more

1. Truly Own Your Device

In the end, all of this boils down to one thing: you own your device, and you should be able to do with it as you please. Certain manufacturers and carriers try to keep that from happening, but with root access, you truly own your device and open yourself up to all the possibilities other parties try to block. Sure, there's some risk involved, and we don't usually recommend rooting other people's phones, but in the end, you can't put a price on true openness and control.
