How to Root HTC Raider 4G

Root access is something your HTC Raider 4G shouldn’t go without. This procedure is synonymous with various improvement options, longer battery life and much more. Should you want all of that and more, give this guide a try.

SRSRoot is the rooting app we discovered and used for your device’s rooting. There are a lot of advantages which recommend it. As such, let’s see what they are.

The second you have the SRSRoot app on your handset, you will get in touch with customization options. If you want to enjoy root-only apps, the app will allow you to do just that. It will also give your smartphone these: custom ROMs and new features.

A wide variety of battery tweaks will settle themselves on your phone. The list of novelties available for your handset contains admin and superuser permission. Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread is the OS version running on your smartphone. This app won’t erase it. It will also deliver better speeds for the device’s dual-core 1.2 GHz processor.HTC-Raider-4G

The benefits of this method

Your phone’s also known as HTC Rider, HTC Holiday and HTC Raider 4G LTE. This is the Build ID used for the handset’s rooting: GRJ22. The SRSRoot is one of the few rooting methods to work with different Build IDs. It is also one of the few ways of unrooting a gadget. Moreover, this app allows you to use various devices with it.

The app comes powered by an SRS Server. You will not be asked to pay to download this dedicated tool. Security problems will be non-existent after you use this tool on your phone. One last thing: this method of gaining root access doesn’t allow bloatware to worm its way on your HTC Raider 4G.

Certain problems will appear after the device is rooted and you want it upgraded. They are as follows: the system partition will be deleted and root access won’t be there anymore, either. Unaffected by the new procedure are these: important data, internal / external SD cards and every other crucial stuff.

Your rooted device will see its warranty revoked. No reason to despair just yet: the warranty will re-appear after you search for a solution online!

  • your laptop’s OS must be Windows instead of Linux or another version;
  • your phone will need to run a fully charged battery today;
  • open the security programs that you phone’s using;
  • then turn them off;
  • after that make sure to also open the security programs on your laptop;
  • deactivate them.
