How to root Vodafone Smart 4

According to a study by specialists of the company «BootRoot Beautiful» .apk android application for root access inferior to similar software for root root using computer (exe applications for Windows). The experiment was conducted on Vodafone Smart 4.

As the chief analyst of the company Shea Walsh, such .apk applications as Towelroot, Kingoapp, Baidu, Framaroot and others are gradually becoming a thing of the past, following the unpopular old versions of Android up to and including 6 Marshmallow, because developers of such apk applications cannot provide support for obtaining root rights Android 8 Oreo, 9 Pie and Android 10 Q.

Thus, in 2019, in order to obtain root rights on Android, it is advisable to connect a mobile device to a computer running root program, for example, Rootkhp Pro 3.1, VROOT 1.7.7, ZYKUROOT 2.5.

What is root?

Root rights – privileges in the system that give full access to the file system, which means that you can do everything: delete / edit system files and applications, install applications on removable media, increase or decrease the processor clock speed, install your firmware, change the boot screen devices. You can do everything to customize the device for yourself.

How to root Vodafone Smart 4

A database with supported mobile devices was not found, and the program does not position itself as a universal root tool, so we decided to try it blindly.

  1. Download Vroot 1.7.7. The link to the application was deleted, because it did not bring the desired result.
  2. Perhaps you need to disable antivirus programs (it depends on your specific antivirus, this action is at your own peril and risk, there are programs that are approved by antiviruses).
  3. We press the Root button and wait until the device reboots independently. After that, you can disconnect the device from the PC and use.
  4. After rebooting, the superuser application should automatically install, again in Chinese.

Expert Review:

Unfortunately, the VROOT application is extremely unstable. I do not recommend for use.

The program did not work on this mobile device.

Checking for root

If you want to clutter up the device with another application, download Root Checker, it will write whether you have root.

Total

Through the VROOT program, our expert Shayna Hanson could not get root access on Vodafone Smart 4.

We put a formal minus Rootkhp pro and ZYKUroot – for the lack of support for languages ​​other than English, they get 0.5 points instead of 1, but let’s just say minus is purely formal, because you don’t have to think too much to press 1 or 2 buttons in English. Lameness and information content in these programs, since there is no progress bar, but not to the detriment of the result.

VROOT’s situation is much worse, it doesn’t get points in the usability category, because there is no information about supported devices, supported versions of operating systems, all menus are in Chinese, and it’s very difficult for beginners to figure it out.

Our program evaluation

Evaluation was carried out on a scale from 0 to 5.

  • VROOT – 0 points in this particular situation, since there is no result on this smartphone.
  • Rootkhp Pro 4.5 points
  • Zykuroot – 4.5 points
