Rooting Cherry Mobile Flare Via Recovery

What Is Rooting?

 Getting root or rooting your phone is the process of modifying the operating system on your device to grant you complete control over it. This means you can overcome limitations that the carriers and manufacturers put on your phone, extend system functionality, and even upgrade it to a custom flavor of Android.


The name root comes from the Linux operating system world, where the most privileged user on the system (otherwise known as Administrator on Windows) is called root. Installing a ROM may require rooting first, but just rooting can be done in only a few minutes, keeping your stock OS otherwise completely intact.


Warning:
Rooting your phone does run the risk of potentially bricking it. Rooting also voids your warranty as per Cherry Mobile's statement so do your homework before attempting anything.
