Rooting & Jailbreaking

Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on an iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, etc.). By rooting your device and flashing a custom recovery, you are then able to install custom ROMs (new versions of the Operating System) to allow you to:
- Increase performance & battery life
- Add tons of customization options
- Add new features that would not normally be possible
- Upgrade to newer versions of
- Change/remove the custom UI skin your manufacturer installed
- Remove bloatware your manufacturer installed

II. Flash a Custom Recovery Image
With most rooting procedures, you usually will automatically flash a custom recovery while gaining access. So you most likely already flashed it if you did our how to root procedure for your device. After using the tutorial to flash a custom recovery, you’ll be able to:

1. Select a ROM from our ROM repository here and save it to your computer’s desktop.
2. Boot into recovery mode (you should have learned how to do this for your particular device during the flashing of the custom recovery procedure).
3. Select Backup in recovery and perform a backup (just in case).
4. Select Wipe in recovery.
5. Select Flash Zip in recovery and choose the ROM’s .zip file and allow it to flash.
6. Select reboot system now and you are running the new ROM.
You can do this over and over until you find a ROM you like.

If you ever want to unroot your device for warranty purposes or to start over, you usually can.
to our How To’s section, choose your device, and find the “How To Unroot” for your device (if we have it) and follow the tutorial.
