How to Root HTC Desire 200
HTC Desire 200 will go through a certain procedure. This will change the phone radically. For one, you will have many novelties to discover. Second: you will welcome better overall performance. You need only follow the tutorial we have on this site and your device will become a gem!
Last year was a great year for smartphones. Your HTC Desire 200 was one of them. Launched back then, the phone was missing some novelties. That is why we thought of introducing it to SRSRoot, a dedicated app whose only job is to bring root access on the devices it meets. They aren’t a few. This tool provides the same goodies for many gadgets. That’s only part of its charm.
With its 1 GHz CPU and Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich OS, the phone needs a Build ID for the rooting. If you want, you can use whatever ID you want. As for us, we used this one: IML74K. Free to install on any device, the SRSRoot will also assist you if you wish for an unrooting option. Bonus: this application is powered by an SRS Server.
The advantages of this procedure
Once accustomed to root access, your smartphone will enjoy faster CPU speed on the whole. Root access is responsible for these, too: customization options, loads of them. Other important goodies are these: battery tweaks and also new features. You don’t have to watch out for security flaws or bloatware. This app doesn’t bring these on your phone after you’ve flashed it there.
You have a chance at dealing with root-only apps and admin and superuser permission. Another thing to note about the SRSRoot: numerous Android versions are supported by it. The one on your phone isn’t an exception. Custom ROMs are also a possibility; you’ll be able to have many of them installed on your phone if you want.
To have a rooting happen, the HTC Desire 200 has to function without its signature warranty. But with the appropriate guide, the warranty will be brought back for further use. An update that happens to a rooted device comes with drawbacks. There are two of them in this case. At the end of the upgrade, the phone will lose its system partition. It will then be left without its root access. The smartphone doesn’t come out of this rooting without its data. The internal and external SD cards are also kept safe from serious damage.
