Rooting the Motorola DROID Mini smartphone is now an option when you have it running on the Android 4.4.4 KitKat software updates by using the handiest one-click rooting tool the world has seen to date, namely KingRoot. The KingRoot app is an ever evolving thing where once you install it and click a button, it will ping back to the Chinese servers where a group of super cool geeks is sitting behind over a thousand monitors and observing the data you sent out and they’ll immediately ping you back with the working rooting method that is going to unchain your operating system. Okay, so they are not quite that amazing, but they are near that awesome.

• You must have your DROID Mini smartphone with a working web browser application available. Not much else is required.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

• Make sure you have the Unknown Sources option available on your DROID Mini by tapping on the Menu > Settings > Security > Unknown Sources so you can install APK files from outside the Google Play Store.
• Note that by rooting the Motorola DROID Mini smartphone you are almost always going to be voiding the warranty. You can usually unroot a device to get that same warranty working again.
• Also, note that KingRoot does not unlock the bootloader nor does it require an unlocked bootloader to run. Nonetheless, you will still need to unlock the bootloader before you can install a custom recovery whenever you are talking about a device that usually required having an unlocked bootloader to get a custom recovery installed.
