How to Root Galaxy Proclaim SCH-S720C
Something new this way comes for Samsung Galaxy Proclaim SCH-S720C. More precisely, a rooting. A direct consequence of this procedure: root access. If this sounds like a very good idea, you’ll need help. It comes in the form of today’s guide. Consult it and have fun!
The handset featured in this post gets to have a new app. Which goes by the name of SRSRoot. To flash this app on the phone and enjoy its root access, you will first have to find out what the tool’s all about.
The SRSRoot is a dedicated app that costs nothing to use. To use it, you just need your phone. The latter’s most valuable specs include these: Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread and a 1 GHz CPU. With the rooting app, your handset’s about to have a better processor. The software doesn’t wipe the OS away from your phone. The Build ID used for today is GINGERBREAD.LK02. You, however, are free to use another Build ID because this application lets you select whichever one you want.
An SRS Server powers the new app. Which, by the way, works with a large variety of gadgets no matter what manufacturer made them. And the same SRSRoot app will also unroot the phone.
The benefits of this method
What this special app does is this: it delivers plenty of helpful goodies. Before we introduce them, you have to know that the rooting doesn’t deliver bloatware and neither does it deal with security problems.
You’ll instead gain a much-needed access to a wide variety of new features and custom ROMs. The rooting of your Samsung SCH-S720C also comes with battery tweaks and customization options. Your device will enjoy these, as well: admin and superuser permission as well as root-only app.
Your smartphone will not have access to its warranty anymore once the root access is achieved. A restoration can be done, though, if you find the appropriate tutorial.
As long as you find the right update firmware for your handset, you can easily upgrade it. But if there is root access on said device, the update will revoke the root access and delete system partition. Your phone will keep the internal / external SD cards. And it will still feature its important content.
