If your device has Android version above 4.1 and if you are looking to root your device with one click app you can proceed with either KingRoot or Kingo Root which are more popular and support most of the devices. Note that KingRoot does not support lower firmware versions and you can proceed using Framaroot or Kingoroot app. Framaroot is the best option for older devices without much errors. If you have any questions or thoughts please share it in comments below.
