Rooting the Android operating system that is running on the MicroMax E484 smartphone is going to mean you are then using the device from that point on as a root user. A root user has all an all access pass to the operating system so that there is nothing you cannot install. You also need to rely on being a root user if you are interested in any developments.

For those who are not familiar with the term root user on the Android operating system, it is the equivalent of using a Windows operating system with administrator permissions. Anyone who has used a PC running Windows and wasn’t logged into the administrator’s account may be aware of the limitations that it has if you ever tried to install a program that required permissions from an administration level account before it would install. Using the Android operating system without it being rooted causes many of the same hassles for people, and they can stumble across many apps that are unable to be installed. The way we fix that problem is by rooting the Android operating system which means we are then using the device as a root user.
