Ito ay isang Mobile Operating System based sa Linux system na dinevelop ng Google. Ang mga mobile devices na meron nito ay smartphones at tablets.
Rooting
Ito ay isang paaran upang ma-access ang unix system at makapagbigay ng permiso para ma-access ito upang ma-modify. Katulad sa Windows pc na na maaccess mo ang admin kung saan maaring mo ma-modify ang system information ng computer.
***Please see list of Rooting method below***
Flashing
Ito ay paraan upang ma-laod o mainstall ang isang OS, Custom ROM, modified application, Kernel at ibang system requirements through Recovery (CWM, TWRP) and Flashing tools (e.g. ODIN, HEIMDALL, FLASHTOOL)
Bootloader
Ito yung code na nagra-run bago magstart ang OS. Parang sa PC meron din bootloader or startup boot. May mga manufacturer na locked ang bootloader tulad sa HTC merong Hboot.
Pagkakaiba ng unlocking bootloader sa rooting:
Ang rooting ay isang proseso upang magbigay ng permiso para i-modify ang system katulad nito ang permiso ng admin sa pc.
Ang pag unlock ng bootloader ay pagpasok sa system ng phone, (hindi mismo ang OS). Bali tinatanggal lang natin ang harang na nilagay ng manufacturer para magalaw ang phone sa anumang kaparaanan. Hindi ka makakapag root o makakapag-flash kung hindi pa unlock ang bootloader. Pero ito'y depende kung ang root ay nangagailangan ng pag modify sa kernel, pero kung hindi ay maaari pa ring makapagroot tulad sa Xperia.
Ang Samsung ang isa sa mga tanging Android phone na hindi lock ang bootloader.
