How to Root Galaxy Captivate Glide SGH-I927
Galaxy Captivate Glide SGH-I927 isn’t very far away from receiving root access. And once it does, it will run smoothly and faster. To do that, though, it needs a certain kind of app. Its name as well as the method of installation are all discussed in the upcoming post.
You won’t have to stay long without root access. Your smartphone will soon have SRSRoot, the tool which delivers all kinds of new stuff for it. Among them will be root-only apps and battery tweaks for improving the phone’s battery life. A series of custom ROMs and new features join the novelties. After them comes admin and superuser permission. You will also get to enjoy new stuff such as customization options.
The benefits of this method
The SRSRoot is compatible with every one of the Android OS versions released thus far. Including the 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich your handset owns. Not only that, but you can also use what Build ID you feel more comfortable with. We used this one for today’s procedure: IMM76D. The smartphone ships with a dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 processor in tow. Its speed may be a bit slow, but the this tool will provide faster speeds for it.
Powered by an SRS Server, the new app can be used on various brands. Your phone is also known as Galaxy S Glide, Samsung SGH-I927, Galaxy S II and Samsung Gidim. With the SRSRoot you will be able to also unroot it.
When your rooted Galaxy Glide SGH-I927 gets an upgrade, it stands every chance of losing its root access. The update will also wipe the phone’s system partition if root access is on it. This procedure won’t affect the handset’s internal / external SD cards or the important content. If root access is delivered for your device, the smartphone won’t have a warranty any longer.
