Google’s Android OS leads the
US Smart phone market with 48.5% market share compared to 29.5% held by
Apple’s iOS. The OS is used by a number of OEM’s (Original equipment
manufacturers). Even though Android is open source OS, it is shipped in
locked version where the buyer only gets “guest access”, which limits the
user’s control over the device. For example, the owner is powerless to remove
pre installed apps. Rooting gives super user access to the owner, allowing
complete control of the device by the user.
Samsung is the leading player
in the global mobile market. In the smart phone sector the company is the
number one player competing with iPhone, BlackBerry and other Android players
in the market. Samsung also sells smart phones based on its proprietary OS
named Bada.
Today we will discuss how to
root Samsung Galaxy Note. The Samsung Galaxy Note is an Android smart phone
and tablet computer that was introduced in October 2011. It has a large 5.3
