Bootloader–Custom Recovery– Custom Rom–

Root
Bootloader
What is Bootloader?
The bootloader is the first factor that starts up while a phone is turned on. A
bootloader is low-level software on your phone that keeps you from breaking it
at its most basic level. it is used to check and verify the software running on
your phone before it loads.
Think about it like a security guard scanning all of the code to make sure
everything is in order. if You were to try to load software on the phone that was
not properly signed by the device vendor, the bootloader might detect that and
refuse to install it on the device.
Custom Recovery
What is Custom Recovery?
A custom recovery is a 3rd-party recovery environment. Flashing this recovery

environment onto your device replaces the default, stock recovery environment
with a 3rd-party, customized recovery environment.
From stock recovery, we can not flash custom ROMs, Modules, etc. So for this,
you need to flash custom recoveries like TWRP (Team Win recovery project),
CWM (ClockworkMod),
Custom Rom
What is Custom ROM?
A custom Android ROM refers to a phone’s firmware, based on Google’s Android

platform. Android is open source and therefore any developer can edit the code,
recompile it, and re-release it for a wide variety of devices. Users can install
ROMs to change a device’s appearance and behavior. ROMs are developed by
the Android community,
Do We Really Need to Flash Custom Rom?
No, You Have to Always Flash Stock ROM (Flash File) (stock firmware) In the
Customer Phone, which is Officially Provided by the Manufacturer.
Root
What is root?
Rooting is the process of allowing users of the Android mobile operating system
to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android
subsystems.
In Simple Word, the Root meaning is to Break Mobile Security, And Do

Customise Your Mobile Phone As You want,
Do We Really Need to Root Every Device In Mobile Software

Repairing Work?
Not every phone, But In Some Cases, You need to root device,
In some cases In IMEI Repair.
You need Root Access(Superuser), In that Tool which You will Work,(Its Depend
On Mobile Security)
So, The Question is
How to Root Mobile If I need it?
It depends On Brand, And CPU, So Every Android Phone rooting Process is

different,
For Rooting Purpose You can Visit XDA-Developers-Forum
On XDA Forum You can Know All About Rooting, unlocking the bootloader,
Custom Rom Etc Solutions,
Note:-You have to unlock the bootloader before rooting.
We will see in the upcoming posts, how we can unlock the bootloader using
Tools.
Flash File
What is a Flash File?
Android Flash files are files that are added to the operating system. Files which
we call (Stock ROM, Firmware)
Firmware Files is official software that is designed by the manufacturer for a

particular device.
Where To Download Flash files?
There Are Many Websites On the Internet just simply Type On Google According
Your Phone Brand Name & Model number With Flash File You will get many
websites Who Provide Flash Files,
(I Will Share Some useful websites For Flash File in Coming Posts)
USB Drivers
What is a USB Driver?
USB Driver Allow Your Computer To Recognise Your Android Devices And
Interact with it,
Why is the USB driver so important?
As Driver Are Necessary For A vehicle Or Any Transportation Within the Same
way, Drivers Are Also Essential For Android Devices,
Because Whenever We want To repair Any Software Issue Of An Android

Devices, We need to Require The Help of A Computer,
In this case, If The PC Doesn’t Recognise Your Device, Then how will it Allow You
to Require Action Based On Your Problem?
Now The Question Is,
Which Mobile USB Drivers Do We Need In Mobile

Software Repair?
Below is the list of drivers we need to install in laptop/pc
➡ 15 Second ADB Installer

➡ Minimal ADB Fastboot
(For ADB & Fastboot)
