Many have come across shareware games on Android, which constantly offer to replenish supplies, improve the army and achieve other results using real money. But to the great joy of all gamers, it is quite easy to bypass such expenses by installing the application. The essence is simple - a purchase is imitated by bypassing the license. There is only one BUT - the game must be included in the list of applications that are affected by this focus.
Application features and problem solving
In order to take advantage of the unlimited possibilities that the Freedom application provides us, you need to know some of the features of this utility:
- You must have root permissions on Android.
- It is required to register an account on the Google Play Store and must have the Google Service Framework available. Despite the fact that the application is being actively modernized, some problems may arise due to the peculiarities of a particular smartphone model.
- The Market may stop working or there may be a lack of network connection. This happens when the Market is installed on a memory card or it is used as a system add-on.
- The quality of work is affected by installed antiviruses that block the program.
- Therefore, you should immediately register it in the white lists. For Freedom to function properly, you should only use the original .apk installation files.
- If you uninstall the program, be sure to stop all applications, otherwise the Market and the entire Android may malfunction.
- If any problems arise, you can write to the support service by attaching a log file.
How to use
In order to take advantage of the unlimited capabilities of the Freedom program, you need to complete the following steps:
- Download the program to your smartphone or tablet and install it. We definitely allow you to use root rights.
- Don't worry if the installation takes a long time. The program goes through all the applications and finds the ones it needs.
- After completing the installation and checking all applications, we are presented with a list of games in which we can emulate a purchase.
- We find the game we need and proceed to launch. The advent of Freecard means we can use Freedom.
- We make purchases, and then return to Freedom and press the “Stop” button.
If you are tired of using discounted purchases and want to break through to victory on your own, then removing Freedom will require some actions:
- We go into the program and press STOP.
- Find it in Settings - Applications - Downloaded - Freedom and forcefully stop the program.
- Afterwards you can remove the program.
If you do not uninstall the program correctly, problems may arise in the operation of the Market.
A program for bypassing Market License verification (LVL) and for emulating in-app purchases (In-App Billing).
Tired of offers to buy something in games and programs? Buy for free using ( download link at the bottom of the article). It’s very simple to use: install, launch (the first launch may take some time), tap on the application - it starts. After this, it will probably pass a license check, and when purchasing from the application, you will be able to pay with a fake card.
Android device requirements:
root, busybox, s-off (for htc owners), Android 2.2+. There are currently support issues with some devices.
Performance is guaranteed only with officially purchased/downloaded applications from Google Play.
Also, of course, you need Google Apps with the Google Play Store, Google Service Framework, and, accordingly, Google Account.
Instructions:
1. Having received, launch Freedom.
2. Enable “Unknown sources” in the security settings.
3. Launch Freedom, after which we enable superuser rights in the window that appears.
4. Select a game from the list. Subsequently, to hack the store, it is imperative to launch applications through Freedom. There are applications that are not in the list, they can be launched separately with Freedom (smile_me) active.
5. After starting the game, go to the store. Any game.
6. Choose what you want to buy, and you are sent to the market.
7. FreeCard should appear in your account in the market. If yes, then everything worked. Check the box and click “Buy”.
8. You get back into the game with purchases.
Important:
Do not delete a working Freedom, only after clicking on stop, or there may be problems with the connection in google play. Of course, some online games are susceptible to hacking through this product, but you will probably end up on the Ban List. So feel the line: where it is possible and where it is not advisable.
FAQ about the program:
Q: What is Freedom?
A: This application was created to implement... fictitious purchases of paid functions in other applications and games (so-called In-App Billing), allegedly making payments in the market from the account of a certain free card. And also to bypass LVL, although you can use the “broken Market” with the same success.
Q: Why is this needed?
A: Many games and applications are quite successfully broken. But, firstly, not everything, and secondly - in this case you won’t have to break anything, you will use the original application from the market, with the ability to update it as a regular free one (and you have to wait for hacks, and - it happens - they are crooked work). In many games, the developers have included the opportunity to buy bonuses for additional money (points, gold, money, credits, etc.) and ask for good money for this. With the help of Freedom and FreeCard, we can get these bonuses without spending our real hard-earned money.
Q: Where can I get such applications?
A: For the most part, such programs and games are available on the market completely free of charge! We install such a miracle directly from the market, open it and see that a very limited set of functions is offered for free, and all the most delicious and interesting things are offered for purchase from within the application itself! It is precisely in such cases that Freedom should help.
Programs like PowerAMP or Titanium Backup will require a patched core.jar (by LuckyPatcher) for the LVL check to succeed.
Q: How to install correctly?
A: Required condition: having root rights in the device, s-off (for htc owners), Android 2.2+. Currently there are problems with support for some devices.
1. Download and install as usual.
2. Launch (the first launch may last some time, it’s different for everyone, some have less than a minute, some have more than 10 minutes).
3. The program will download your list of applications that presumably (based on the permissions specified in the manifest) have an internal purchase. In this case, of course, the application must be original from the Market and not hacked (sometimes it works with hacked ones).
4. Select the application in which we want to “buy” something.
5. We are waiting. Next, choose a payment method. It should be FreeCard (which means Freedom is working successfully).
6. Complete the purchase and enjoy the full version of the program or game
7. If suddenly after this the market stops opening, read the FAQ further.
P.S. Do not force Freedom from processes (force close/uninstall) while the service is running and the notification is hanging. Do Menu -> Stop, and then do whatever you want, otherwise the Market will then write that there is no connection.
Q: When Freedom is turned on, the Market does not work (it gives an error: Connection not established), but with Freedom stopped everything is ok.
A: Check that the Market (com.android.vending application) is in the device’s memory and not transferred to the SD card by the left software.
Q: The market is in the phone's memory, but it still doesn't work.
A: Try the original Market
Check for firewalls/antiviruses that may block Freedom.
Reboot your device.
Q: The Market stopped working for me, it gives an error: The connection is not established, there is no connection to the Internet blah, blah, blah... although in fact there is one. And deleting Freedom doesn't help.
A: In Freedom, select Menu -> Stop. If you uninstalled Freedom, install it back temporarily.
Q: I did Menu -> Stop, as written above, but it still doesn’t help.
A: Reboot your device.
Q: I rebooted, but it still doesn’t help. Or Menu -> Stop writes an error or hangs itself altogether.
A: Along the /system/etc path, find the hosts file, open it in a text editor and leave one line “127.0.0.1 localhost” there (to save, you will need to remount /system in r/w mode). Or use AdAway to restore the standard hosts file.
If you're really lazy, you can simply delete this file.
After this, you may need to reboot.
Q: When I press start, Freedom takes a very long time to scan/process applications.
A: Most likely you have either a modified hosts file or ad blockers like AdFree or AdAway, restore the standard hosts file, because Freedom makes certain changes to this file, and if you have already modified it to cut out ads, then Freedom can it will take a lot of time to make your changes there. If you want, manually edit hosts leaving just one line there: 127.0.0.1 localhost
Q: For some reason it doesn't work without GTalk.
A: In general, in new versions of Android, part of GTalk has been moved to the Google Service Framework. And new versions of Google Play already work with GSF. Apparently you are using a very old version of the Market. Or, in your firmware, GApps were somehow severely damaged so that after this Google Push (sometimes called Google Sync) does not work, i.e. C2DM/GCM service, used in many programs and not only Google ones.
If you have enough space on the system partition of the device, then install the latest (for your OS version) full official GApps (via recovery mode), everything is already included there.
Q: When I try to buy something, it says: “Thank you for your purchase! It will be available soon”... and nothing appears
A: Check the availability of GApps with GSF (previous question). Try again. If not, then Freedom may not work with this application (perhaps the core.jar patch will help).
Q: When I try to buy in some programs, I get the following message: “This version of the application does not work with the Google Play payment system” or “Marmelade #### error”.
A: After installing the program, you should log into it without running Freedom. Activate or register, if necessary. Only after this first “clean” launch should you try to buy.
Sometimes it can also help to clear data to this application, reboot the device, make several attempts.
Q: Will I be banned from Google?
A: Google doesn’t know about your “purchases”, so it’s unlikely to ban you. But in general, if he banned all users who actively violate licenses, then no one would use LuckyPatcher anymore.
Q: I read somewhere that Freedom requires a hacked market to work.
A: This is not so, the author of Freedom recommends using the original Market if any problems arise with the modified one (and with some mods they do). But with the patched core.jar, one feature is added - you don’t need to open Freedom every time and launch applications from it to make a “purchase”, FreeCard will appear in all new and old installed applications where billing is possible until you press Stop in the Freedom menu.
Q: If you click "About", it says - available only in the registered version, what version is this?
A: This is a joke, if it’s not clear.
Q: For some reason it doesn’t show all the games yet
A: Shows only those that requested in-app billing or lvl in permissions.
If it doesn’t show, it means you won’t be able to use Freedom there.
Q: So what does she do, by the way? Because After its removal, both the market and the subject work fine, and all the “broken” content too
A: Emulates the purchase completely on the device, without sending any requests to Google.
Q: Can I be banned from online games for cheating when I use Freedom?
A: They can, there have already been cases.
In general, using Freedom for online applications is illegal.
Q: Will my “purchases” be saved if I backup them, change the format, change the firmware, and restore everything from the backup?
A: As a rule, your “purchases” can be restored through a backup, but not always and not in all applications.
Q: I don’t live in Russia, Freedom refuses to launch for me.
A: Set the Russian language in the device settings.
Q: Can Google find out about my “purchases” and write off money from my card that I registered to pay for purchases in the market?
Oh no.
Q: Why then does the traffic monitor show that Freedom is actively eating up the Internet?
A: This happens because all C2DM/GCM traffic for the Google Play Store goes through Freedom when it is launched, that’s how it works.
Q: When starting, it says “You need S-OFF in order to use this application” or “You need write permission on system partition in order to use this application”. What to do?
A: The program needs write rights to the system partition (or in other words, it needs “full” root - the so-called half-root does not work). Some manufacturers lock /system from writing, HTC and Acer especially suffer from this. Google how to unlock it specifically for your device.
Q: I use Link2SD or a similar program to transfer applications to an SD card. And Freedom is not friendly with these applications.
O: There is such a thing. Maybe this will be corrected in the next few years.
Q: Can Freedom collect our registered bank card information and send the information to scammers?
Oh no.
Credit card information is not stored on the device. They are stored on Google servers. And there is no way to get them from Google no matter how much you want.
But if you don't trust the developers, then don't install it. This applies to all programs that require root access.
Q: What is Freecore?
A: This is a mode that is enabled in the Freedom settings, in which changes are made to the system core (core.jar) to bypass signature verification. This can help bypass license verification or make in-app purchases in some applications where this would not normally be possible, but at the same time creates a potential security vulnerability.
Q: What is the difference between Freecore and "Signature verification is always correct" from LuckyPatcher?
A: Essentially it's the same thing.
Q: What does the "Freecore isn't available on your system" error mean?
A: You probably have modified firmware. Coded firmware is not yet supported.
Q: What does the "Offline License Verification" option mean?
A: When checking the Market license (via LVL), there will be no request to Google. If you don’t actually have purchased applications, then you can safely check this box.
Q: What does the "Offline Restoring Transactions" option mean?
A: When restoring purchases, there will be no request to Google. If you don’t actually have purchased features inside applications, then you can safely check this box.
Q: This is bullshit that doesn't work at all. And the phone doesn't work after it.
A: You use the program at your own risk.

ABOUT: Check that the Market (com.android.vending application) is in the device’s memory and not transferred to the SD card by the left software.
Also, on some firmware it is necessary that the Market be installed as a user application, and not as a system one.
IN: The market is in the phone’s memory and not a system one, but it still doesn’t work.
ABOUT: Try the original Market version 3.9.x (for example 3.9.17).
Check for firewalls/antiviruses that may block Freedom.
If you used LuckyPatcher, then reinstall Google Play.
Reboot your device.
IN: I uninstalled Freedom, the Market stopped working, it gives an error: “Connection not established”, “no Internet connection”, etc., although in fact there is one.
ABOUT: In Freedom, select Menu -> Stop. If you uninstalled Freedom, install it back temporarily.
IN: I did Menu -> Stop, as written above, but it still doesn’t help.
A: Reboot your device.

If you're really lazy, you can simply delete this file.
After this, you may need to reboot.
An alternative solution to this problem is to flash this file via recovery.
IN: When I try to make a purchase, in some applications it displays “This version of the application is not configured for billing through Google Play” or “Outdated version of Google Play”.
ABOUT: You are not using the original .apk of this application from the Market, but a cracked version. In-app purchases are broken and even for real money are impossible.
IN: For some reason it doesn’t work without GTalk (applies to in-app v.2 and Market versions<=5.5.15).
ABOUT: In general, in new versions of Android, part of GTalk was moved to the Google Service Framework. And new versions of Google Play already work with GSF. Apparently you are using a very old version of the Market. Or, in your firmware, GApps were somehow severely damaged so that after this Google Push (sometimes called Google Sync) does not work, i.e. C2DM/GCM service, used in many programs and not only Google ones.

For those who in the tank do not know how to install zips in recovery: FAQ on ClockworkMod recovery (Post #9491227)
IN: When I try to buy something, it says: “Thank you for your purchase! It will be available soon”... and nothing appears
ABOUT: Check availability of GApps with GSF (previous question). Try again. If not, then Freedom may not work with this application (maybe Freecore mode will help).
Many developers have begun to build in protection, perhaps this is the case.
IN: When you try to buy in some programs, it displays: “This version of the application does not work with the Google Play payment system” or “Marmelade #### error.”
ABOUT: After installing the program, you should log into it without Freedom running. Activate or register, if necessary. Only after this first “clean” launch should you try to buy.
Sometimes it can also help to clear data to this application, reboot the device, make several attempts.
IN: Won't I get banned from Google?
ABOUT: Google doesn't know about your "purchases", so it’s unlikely to ban you. But in general, if he banned all users who actively violate licenses, then no one would use LuckyPatcher anymore.
IN: I read somewhere that Freedom requires a “broken market” to work.
ABOUT: This is not so, this is what the author of Lucky Patcher himself writes about this, while the author of Freedom recommends using the original Market if any problems arise with the modified one (and with some mods they do). Also note that when installing a "broken market" or LP, core.jar is patched and thus Freecore is enabled in the Freedom settings.
IN: If you click "About", it says - only available in the registered version, what version is this?
ABOUT: This is a joke, if it’s not clear.
IN: How can I find out the version of a program from the interface of the program itself?
ABOUT: Select Menu -> About the program several times.
IN: For some reason it doesn't show all the games yet
ABOUT: Shows only those that have requested in-app billing or lvl in permissions.
If it doesn’t show, it means you won’t be able to use Freedom there.
IN: So what is she doing by the way? Because After its removal, both the market and the subject work fine, and all the “broken” content too
ABOUT: Emulates the purchase entirely on the device, without sending any queries to Google.
IN: Can I be banned from online games for cheating when I use Freedom?
ABOUT: Maybe, there have already been cases.
In general, using Freedom for online applications may be illegal.
IN: Will my “purchases” be saved if I backup them, change the format, change the firmware, and restore everything from the backup?
ABOUT: As a rule, your “purchases” can be restored through a backup, but not always and not in all applications.
IN: I don't live in Russia, Freedom refuses to launch for me.
ABOUT: Set the Russian language in the device settings.
IN: Can Google find out about my “purchases” and write off money from my card that I registered to pay for purchases in the market?
ABOUT: No.
IN: Why then does the traffic monitor show that Freedom is actively consuming the Internet?
ABOUT: This comes from the fact that all C2DM/GCM traffic for the Google Play Store goes through Freedom when it is launched, that’s how it works.
IN: When starting it says "You need S-OFF in order to use this application" or "You need write permission on system partition in order to use this application". What to do?
ABOUT: The program needs write rights to the system partition (or in other words, it needs “full” root - the so-called half-root does not work). Some manufacturers lock /system from writing, HTC and Acer especially suffer from this. Google how to unlock it specifically for your device (xda usually has all the info).
Also, sometimes this happens when root is crooked - try reinstalling SuperSU (or installing it if you have another program for distributing root privileges), and also installing busybox.
To be more convincing, you can try the following: В® Freedom (Post #34478866).
If you observe this error, while AdAway works on the same device without any problems and without systemless root, then please write about it in a personal message to madkite2.
Also, if you have a custom recovery (such as TWRP or CWM) and you know how to use it, there is an alternative installation option on devices with a write-locked system partition (write to madkite2 if you want to try it).
IN: When I launch Freedom, I get a reboot and this happens all the time. What to do?
ABOUT: The program needs write rights to the system partition (previous question). Some firmware reboots spontaneously during such operations (for example, this applies to some stock Samsung firmware of the Android 2.x line). Usually after a couple of such reboots everything works. But sometimes (for example on Galaxy Gio) changes are not recorded.
IN: Can Freedom collect our registered bank card details and send the data to scammers?
ABOUT: No.
Credit card information is not stored on the device. They are stored on Google servers. And there is no way to get them from Google no matter how much you want.
But if you don't trust the developers, then don't install it. This applies to all programs that require root access.
IN: Are subscriptions supported?
ABOUT: Yes, in the settings you can check the "Subscription emulation" checkbox, but in 99% of cases this will not work, because... subscriptions are mainly online services.
IN: What is Freecore?
ABOUT: This is a mode that is enabled in the Freedom settings, in which changes are made to the system core (core.jar) to bypass signature verification. This can help bypass license verification or make in-app purchases in some applications where this would not normally be possible, but at the same time creates a potential security vulnerability.
IN: What is the difference between Freecore and "Signature verification is always correct" from LuckyPatcher?
ABOUT: Essentially it's the same thing.
IN: What does the "Freecore isn't available on your system" error mean?
ABOUT: You probably have modified firmware with ART. They are not supported yet.
The solution is to patch core.jar using Lucky Patcher or install the “broken market” from Chelpus (core.jar is patched during installation).
IN: What does the "Offline License Verification" option mean?
ABOUT: When checking the Market license (via LVL), there will be no request to Google. If you don’t actually have purchased applications, then you can safely check this box.
IN: What does the "Offline Restoring Transactions" option mean?
ABOUT: When restoring purchases, there will be no request to Google. If you don’t actually have purchased features inside applications, then you can safely check this box.
IN: Does the program work offline (without the Internet)?
ABOUT: Yes, but not with all applications. It is not necessary to check the boxes in the settings for this.
IN: Which version of the Market is needed?
ABOUT: LVL requires at least version 2.x.x. For in-app, a minimum version of 3.x.x is required. For in-app v.2 version required<=5.4.12.
IN: Is ART (Android Run Time) supported?
ABOUT: Yes, the latest versions have test support.
IN: What is the difference between lightcore and hardcore installation modes of Freecore?
ABOUT: Lightcore is a temporary solution that may crash when clearing the dalvik cache. Hardcore is a permanent solution that will not crash, but the first boot will take longer and sometimes you may need to clear the dalvik cache for normal operation.
If you want to quickly enable Freecore, hack the application and turn it off, use lightcore.
IN: Why does it ask for a password when purchasing?
ABOUT: Because in the Google Play settings there is an option to require authentication for every purchase.
IN: I bought something through Freedom, should I always keep Freedom running after that?
ABOUT: If this is a purchase that can be made again (for example, coins in a game), then no, running Freedom is no longer required. If this is a recoverable purchase (for example, a pro version), then Freedom must be kept running all the time, otherwise the purchase may fail. This happens because Google periodically syncs purchases with the server. If the notification is annoying, you can turn it off in the Freedom settings (on Android<7.1).
IN: The program I want to make a purchase with is Freedom detection. Can anything be done?
ABOUT: You can try the XPrivacy module for the Xposed framework. With its help, you can hide the list of installed applications, the list of running processes, etc. from the program. It is worth noting that it makes sense to hide this from the application in which you want to make a purchase (i.e. games, for example), but not from Freedom.
Alternatively, you can try MinMinHide or Sudohide. It is also possible to hide Freedom in Uret Patcher (but it hides Freedom from almost all applications, i.e. custom launchers will not see it).
IN: Is Android 2 supported?
ABOUT: For Android 2.2, use the latest version from the 1.1.x branch. Starting with version 1.2.0, support for Android 2.2 was removed.
For Android 2.3, it is recommended to use the latest version of Freedom, which is always tested on Android 2.3. But if you encounter the “Insufficient RAM” error, then you should try version 1.1.x.
IN: It gives the error "There is not enough free space on the system partition."
ABOUT: Make sure you have at least a few megabytes available on the partition /system. Sometimes you can free up missing space on stock firmware by deleting unnecessary programs from /system/app/ or /vendor/app/. If you are not sure about what can be deleted, it is better to look for information on the topic about your firmware.
IN: Does it work with KingRoot?
ABOUT: Depends on the firmware. In most cases it works, but sometimes there are glitches, in such cases it is recommended to use SuperSU.
IN: I have fucking AICP based firmware. There's some stupid crap built in there that they call anti-piracy protection. And it doesn't allow me to use apps like this one that are legal in my country. Can anything be done?
ABOUT: Try this module for Xposed: DisableContentGuard.apk. You can read about alternative methods.
IN: I have MIUI (firmware from Xiaomi), after a reboot Google Play stops working until you launch Freedom.
ABOUT: Your firmware is blocking Freedom from loading automatically. Try enabling Security center -> Permissions -> Autostart -> Freedom.
IN: Doesn't work on my favorite game. How to check whether the problem is in the device or in the game?
ABOUT: Try it, for example, on this test application.
IN: This is bullshit that doesn't work at all. And the phone doesn't work after it.
ABOUT: You use the program at your own risk. Terms of use (in English).

Many owners of smartphones and tablets running the Android operating system are faced with the problem of the inability to use some applications and settings. This is due to the lack of special rights called Root. What is this? How to get root rights yourself? Everything is not so complicated, but there are special nuances and features.
What it is
It would seem that after purchasing a new smartphone or tablet, download applications and use them to the fullest. Typically, a new gadget is provided in normal use mode, which is significantly limited, although this is not always noticeable at first. Root rights to Android provide expanded opportunities for using a smartphone or tablet. What it is? If we draw an analogy with a personal computer running the Windows operating system, then these are the rights of the main administrator. Surely many have come across such an inscription as “insufficient rights to run the program.” Android devices have the same definition. That is, root rights on Android are the ability to act on behalf of the rightful owner of the gadget.
Why is this necessary?
Those who use their smartphone or tablet only for standard applications and actions, and are also not very advanced in setting up devices themselves, are advised not to get into any jungle of advanced use on their own. And “rooting” as well. However, getting root rights has its advantages:
What is the danger
Well, firstly, this will instantly remove your device from warranty service. Why? Because there will be a violent hacking of the system. Naturally, with a certain level of knowledge, you can carry out all the actions in such a way that no traces remain, and the guarantee remains intact. However, this is not available to every user. Secondly, before you get root rights, you need to prepare in advance for the fact that if you follow the wrong sequence of actions, there is a risk of getting a piece of plastic instead of a phone or tablet. In common parlance “brick”. There is no guarantee that after carrying out all the necessary manipulations, you will root your device. All actions are performed only at your own responsibility.
Kinds
If on a home computer, having received administrator rights, you can use them constantly at your own discretion, then with Android devices it is not so simple. There are several types of rooting, the capabilities of which are advisable to familiarize yourself with in advance.
Full
These are the most complete and permanent superuser rights that will not disappear until you want them to. They allow you to use your smartphone or tablet 100%. Before you get root rights of this type, you should weigh several times how strong the need for them is. Most devices turn into “bricks” precisely when they are activated.
Shell
This type differs from the previous one only in that it has a slightly limited range of capabilities. For example, Shell does not allow you to change the “system” folder. Moreover, with such rooting, the user will not even be able to view its entire contents. The likelihood of establishing such rights without prejudice is very high.
Temporary
This is a temporary rooting that disappears as soon as you reboot the device. It is noteworthy that some models of smartphones and tablets are generally blocked from obtaining root rights. That is, the creators built in Nand Lock, which does not allow making any system changes except temporary ones. Temporary rooting is usually done quickly and without visible damage on most existing models.
Installation methods
There are a huge variety of different ways to perform rooting described on the Internet. Some of them are very risky, some are harmless and simple. We will tell you about those that have been tested on thousands of devices, did not cause problems for gadget owners, and fulfilled the main task - they gave access to super rights. First of all, you will need a program for root rights. There are many of them, but the most worthy ones are Framaroot, Vroot, SuperOneClick.
Framaroot
This program allows you to install root rights on Android in a matter of seconds. All you need to do is download it (it's in playMarket). It is very important to disable the antivirus, if you have one, since the application will instantly be detected as a virus file (Trojan, for example). After installation, you need to open the program and select the required level of rights. Then - the user (character), there are several of them to choose from. If all the steps are completed correctly, a cheerful emoticon will appear and a prompt to restart the phone/tablet. It is noteworthy that Framaroot works with most models, making them universal.
Vroot
The peculiarity of this application is that it is in Chinese. However, this does not prevent it from being used for its intended purpose. Before you can get root rights using it, you need to download the application to your computer from the official website. You also need to install it on your home PC first. Then you need to carry out a series of manipulations in the gadget itself. Namely:
- enable USB debugging;
- permission to install applications from unknown sources.
At the last point, the device may “outrage”, warning that not all such sources are truly safe. Additionally, you may need to disable the antivirus if it is installed. Only after all these manipulations can you launch the program on your computer and connect your smartphone/tablet to it. When all this is done, and Vroot has determined the model of the gadget, you need to press the green key with hieroglyphs on the PC. You won’t have to wait too long for installation - 1-4 minutes.
SuperOneClick
With this program everything is quite simple and clear. First you need to download it to your computer, then install it in any convenient folder. When all this is done, you need to prepare your smartphone or tablet for rooting, as described above in the article. When connecting the device to a personal computer via a cable, it should also be detected in the SuperOneClick program. If this does not happen, then most likely the model simply does not fit, and you need to look for alternative ways. If synchronization was successful, then you need to select the appropriate functionality (exploit) - psneuter (for all versions of the operating system). Then press the root key and wait. Usually you need to restart your device after rooting.
Freedom
This application is a hack for Android devices that allows you to transfer absolutely all files to a memory card. This is usually required by those who have small RAM on their smartphone or tablet. Root rights for Freedom are required, since without them it is impossible to carry out all these manipulations. You can install them using any suitable method described above.
Why is rooting recognized as a virus?
Firstly, all exploit applications are inherently malicious programs. They penetrate root folders, which are hidden by manufacturers in the very depths of the system, and programs find and hack them. Secondly, rooting does not always end well; sometimes it breaks the device completely. Thirdly, programs for obtaining root rights are, for the most part, created by hackers, who sometimes pursue their own illegal goals - access to private information, for example. Therefore, all installation actions remain on the conscience of the gadget owner. There will be no one to file claims if the result does not meet expectations.
Definition by model
It is noteworthy that such large manufacturers as Samsung and LG create their own applications, tested by them themselves, focused specifically on their models. That is, if you look at the official websites of these companies, you can find exploits that allow you to obtain root rights yourself in an absolutely safe way. And most importantly - almost legal, since in case of failure only warranty service is lost, but not the functionality of the device. So, for example, you can get root rights to a Samsung tablet of any model from the manufacturer. At the same time, our promptly working support service will always tell you what to do and how to do it if you can’t figure it out on your own.
What to do if rooting fails
If the device remains in working condition, then you can simply abandon the idea of obtaining root rights. Or look for a suitable way to install them. If, after rooting, the tablet or smartphone stops turning on and responding to any manipulations, then you can try to revive it by resetting it to factory settings. To do this, you need to enter the main control menu. Most models of modern gadgets respond to the following actions: simultaneously pressing the power button and volume down/up. As soon as you managed to call the context menu, you need to do a global “reset”. If resuscitation does not help, then the device’s place is already in the trash or in a spare parts box. Few technicians take on the task of repairing such rooted smartphones and tablets, since it is not just any individual part that “dies” in them, but the whole thing: the system, the software, and the hardware. Therefore, before getting root rights, you should weigh everything and think about it several times: is it really necessary to take such risks or can you get by with the standard mode of use. Inexperienced users are advised to seek help from those who have already tried rooting devices at least once.
A huge variety of gaming applications have been invented for both tablets and phones running the Android OS. But here’s the toughness of life: not only are they paid, but they also constantly require additional in-game purchases. A user who is tired of intrusive requests in programs with offers to buy anything should not give up applications - he can comfortably buy for free using a specialized software solution called Freedom.
For the software to work at the proper level, it must have super user rights, so we first need to understand how to root an android device, and if they exist, it will perfectly bypass any Market license verification and emulate real purchases within applications.
Application procedure Freedom on Android is extremely simple and the average user of mobile devices can easily cope with this task. Once installed on a phone or tablet, the program should be launched, and if it is the first time, you will most likely have to wait a little. Then the user taps on the application he is interested in and launches it. The next step will be to bypass the built-in checks and as a result of these simple steps, purchases can be paid for with a fake bank card.
With all this convenience, it is important to remember that the Freedom application will not work in any way with online games and services (there are exceptions, but extremely rarely), due to the fact that all checks will be carried out on remote servers, and not on Android phones, which is essential complicates the task. The program allows you to work only with those applications that were naturally downloaded and installed from Google Play or other official resources.
It is important to remember that after you have downloaded Freedom to Android and installed it, the application will be located in the system processes. At the same time, if it is disabled or root is removed, the rights to the android are deactivated. To remove freedom from phone, first you need to do these simple steps - go to “Menu – Stop” and only then perform uninstallation.
For Freedom to work as expected, the device must meet minimum system requirements. To do this, you need to have Android OS version no lower than 2.2 installed. There are cases when root access cannot be obtained and, as a result, fake purchases do not work. This is due to some technical features of different phone models and operating system protection functions from manufacturers. If the program is not suitable, we advise you to simply look for an alternative.
The provided Android version of Freedom can be downloaded for free from our website or Google Play Market.
