For anyone who own Smartphone Android certain never be made confused when transfering data from handphone to PC or to other handphone because its easy to send file using mass storage or bluetooth devices ???

Many Android OEM offer it way to to open bootloader or more known with Unlocking and Rooting who make confused several and specially for the beginner or commonnly Android users to what must be done Unlocking and Rooting or not ???

Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative (superuser) permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

Root access is sometimes compared to jailbreaking devices running the Apple iOS operating system. However, these are different concepts: Jailbreaking is the bypass of several types of Apple prohibitions for the end user, including modifying the operating system (enforced by a "locked bootloader"), installing non-officially approved applications via sideloading, and granting the user elevated administration-level privileges (rooting). Only a minority of Android devices lock their bootloaders, and many vendors such as HTC, Sony, Asus and Google explicitly provide the ability to unlock devices, and even replace the operating system entirely. Similarly, the ability to sideload applications is typically permissible on Android devices without root permissions. Thus, it is primarily the third aspect of iOS jailbreaking (giving users administrative privileges) that most directly correlates to Android rooting.

Advantages

Support for themes, allowing everything to be visually changed from the color of the battery icon, to the boot animation that appears while the device is booting, and more.
Full control of the kernel, which, for example, allows overclocking and underclocking the CPU and GPU.
Full application control, including the ability to backup, restore, or batch edit applications, or to remove bloatware that comes pre-installed on many phone.
Custom automated system-level processes through the use of third-party applications.
Ability to install a custom firmware (also known as a custom ROM) that allows additional levels of control on a rooted device.

Rooting Varieties

The process of rooting varies widely by device, but usually includes exploiting one or more security bugs in the firmware of (i.e., in the version of the Android OS installed on) the device. Once an exploit is discovered, a custom recovery image can be flashed which will skip the digital signature check of firmware updates. Then a modified firmware update can be installed which typically includes the utilities needed to run apps as root. For example, the su binary can be copied to a location in the current process' PATH (e.g., /system/xbin/) and granted executable permissions with the chmod command. A third-party s upervisor application, like Superuser or SuperSU, can then regulate and log elevated permission requests from other applications. Many guides, tutorials, and automatic processes exist for popular Android devices facilitating a fast and easy rooting process.

Conclusion

For any user that do not need administration-level privileges and own financial excess do not need it Unlocking and Rooting also not suggested by the most of Smartphone Android vendor.

Sorry for my bad english, i will only use the words i already know for this article. To all of visitor i'd really sorry for any inconvenience !!!
Testing new roms, kernels or other tweaks is, at least in my opinion, part of the whole Android experience. But sometimes things go wrong. First of all: Don’t panic! In contrast to iOS or Windows Phones, Android is a rather open operating system which makes fixing a soft- bricked device sometimes really easy.
You can revive your device as long as it is only soft-bricked! But beware, depending on your device it can be quite tricky to fix a soft- brick. A rule of thumb is that every device with an unlockable boot loader and accessible stock files.
In most cases something went wrong while flashing something like a custom ROM, camera mod or app in your custom recovery mode. Because of this, your device is not booting anymore (the so-called bootloop) or is constantly crashing. The basic solution to this problem is flashing a clean & working version of Android to your device. There are different ways for doing this, but most of the time you’ll restore a backup, flash a custom ROM or stock images to your device. (By Philipp Greitsch).
Avoiding stuck in bootloop, softbrick/hardbrik without USB Debugging issues for Andromax R (HS8916QC) or any Android Devices that lack of options in Stok Recovery ROM, i'd suggested to used Custom TWRP (recommended) or CWM Recovery that allready rooted and support for USB Debugging functionality, which means ADB commands work while your Android device is recovery mode. !!!
I have some references for you. these groups its fulfilling to reviews about Andromax R (HS8916QC). Starting from ROOT, ROM, Game, even Tweaks that given by the developer. but beware, you must carefully to join with some group that exist in Facebook specially. Because recently a lot of group with the same title discuss a certain devices but in the inside also a lot of spam or rubbish. In this occasion i found several group and related articles that the most relevant at the end (bottom) of the pages.
Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM !!!

.: TODO :.

Your ideas or suggestion will be appreciated :)

TECHNiCAL DiFFiCULTiES iSSUES (CASES)

I was a noobs and newbies user for android smartphone, I bought Andromax R (i46D1G) with OS Android 5.02 and testing to flashing flashing Stok Recovery ROM with Custom TWRP Recovery the rooting using KingRoot and Flashing with Custom Boot ROM, it work fine.
Then i'd try to Rollback to Stock Boot and Recovery ROM, removing or flashing TWRP Recovery ROM with Stock Recovery ROM (i'm not aware that Stock Recovery ROM is diffrent than commonly Stock ROM Recovery Mode), anyway it work fine. But sometimes things go wrong when restored or flashing Stock Boot ROM using Rashr - Flash Tool 2.3.10 (APK) as "kernel" and get stuck in Bootloop without "USB Debugging" functionality to reset the "Bootloader Unlocked".
