Root checker utility app

Root Checker is a free utility application from developer joeykrim. It is an Android system tool that helps users check if their devices are rooted or not. The process is quick and simple with its one-tap operation and does not require any other setup or configuration.

How do you check if your phone is rooted?

Download, install, and run Root Checker. The app will tell you if you are a super user, which is somebody who can access all of the programming code contained in a mobile device. It supports various models from different brands and manufacturers.

What is the use of a root checker?

Let's say you are having trouble installing a piece of software on your mobile device because it needs your phone to be rooted. You suspect the app itself is not faulty, so you check to see if your smartphone is rooted.

Is rooting illegal?

No, rooting is not illegal. In some cases and depending on the manufacturer, your phone's warranty will be void, but the act of rooting itself is not illegal unless you are harvesting code to sell as your own or hacking devices for nefarious purposes.

Caveats and alternatives

Sometimes, free rooting software is unreliable. It is good to have a simple and dependable app to let you know if your phone has been rooted. Having said that, Root Checker has not received updates for some time now.

Alternatively, you can also download and try out the Rooting App to check if you have root access. If you discover that your device is indeed not rooted, you can perhaps look into an app like Super Root Android. It is handy if you are manually rooting your device.

Simple yet handy

If you own an Android device and you want to know if you have root access to your system, Root Checker offers a quick and simple way of finding out. The process only takes one tap, and there are plenty of devices supported in its database. Despite the lack of recent updates, it is still worth trying out and seeing for yourself.
