Framaroot

Many devices can be rooted using this application. Check your device for compatibility.
 Installation

1. Download it on your device (links are available at the end of this post)
2. Install it with a file explorer or directly from your internet browser, if android warn you about security risk, say OK and check Unknown sources to allow install of applications outside of Play Store.

Usage

Open Framaroot and select one of the following action: Install SuperSU, Unroot or Execute script (for advanced users)

Possible case once application is launched

• A popup saying "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot", in this case you can uninstall app
• You seeing one or more exploit name, also click on one after you have selected an action and you will see one of the above messages

Possible case once exploit is selected

• "Success ... Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device"
• "Failed ... Exploit work but installation of Superuser and su binary have failed"
• "Half-Success :-/ ... system partition is read-only, use local.prop trick. Reboot your device and use adb to see if it run as root", happen when the filesystem in use on system partition is a read only filesystem (ex: squashfs)
• "Failed ... Try another exploit if available"
• Framaroot crash or freeze, in this case relaunch Framaroot a second time and select the same action and exploit

Towelroot

Created by XDA Recognized Developer geohot, Towelroot is another root exploit app that is compatible with a large range of devices. The root exploit itself is built around Linux kernel CVE-2014-3153 discovered by hacker Pinkie Pie, and it involves an issue in the Futex subsystem that in turn allows for privilege escalation. Although specifically designed for certain variants of the Galaxy S5, it is compatible with the majority of devices running unpatched kernels.

• Step 1: Head over to Towelroot.com and click on the lambda logo to download the latest version of TowelRoot.
•  
• Step 2: Copy the Tr.apk file to your android device.
• Step 3: Go to your phone’s security settings and make sure your phone can install apps from outside of the Google Play Store.

• Step 4: Install the Tr.apk file and when it is installed run it.

• Step 5: Tap on “ Make it Ra1n “ to start the rooting process.
•  

If you want to verify if your android device has been rooted or not, head over to the Google play store and download the Root Checker app. The Root Checker app will be able to check whether your phone is rooted or not.
Note: There’s no guarantee that TowelRoot will be able to Root all android devices.
Last but not the least, you should know that TowelRoot is the result of a $18000 bounty program started by Verizon and AT&T Galaxy S5 users who wanted to get their phone’s rooted.
If you have any doubts, the head over to the official XDA Developers thread for TowelRoot.

 

CF-Auto-Root

  

Created by XDA Senior Recognized Developer Chainfire, CF-Auto-Root is a root for “rooting beginners” and those who want to keep as close to stock as possible. CF-Root is meant to be used in combination with stock Samsung firmwares as well as Nexus devices, and be the quickest and easiest way for your first root. In essence, it does nothing but install and enable SuperSU on your system, so apps can gain root access.

 What's the difference between CF-Auto-Root and CF-Root, and/or other root solutions ?
CF-Root (non-Auto) are manually built rooted kernels and/or flashables that usually provide more than "just root". CF-Auto-Root is built on an automated system that I am constantly improving that takes a stock recovery image and returns an automated rooting packages. These packages are designed to install and enable SuperSU on your device, so apps can gain root access, and nothing more.

The difference with many other rooting solutions is that those will often install a custom recovery for you (I am personally moving away from custom kernels and recoveries, for various reasons), while with CF-Auto-Root you will end up with a stock recovery again.

Not included - custom recovery
A custom recovery like CWM or TWRP is not included.

Not included - Triangle Away
Triangle Away can be used to reset the flash counter after installing CF-Root. The flash counter keeps track of how many custom firmwares you have flashed, as this voids warranty. (No idea what this about ? Read up on it, you will want to use this !)

Not included - adbd Insecure
As this CF-Root does not include a custom kernel, adb shell does not have root access by default (you can still get it by typing su inside the shell), nor is adb remount supported, nor will adb push and adb pull work on system files. adbd Insecure can be used to remedy this situation. (No idea what this is about ? Don't worry about it !)

KingRoot

KingRoot is root for people who just want to have root access to their devices, and not necessarily wanting to flash anything extra. It works on almost all devices from Android version 2.x to 5.0. Working of KingRoot is based on system exploit. The most suitable root strategy will be deployed from cloud to your device according to the ROM information on the device. The best part of using this root method is that it does not trip KNOX and have the ability to close Sony_RIC perfectly.
