root your android


hi all,

stupid really, i ticked my camera roll and deleted it by accident and now i need to recover it

i have gone in the play store and found quite a few restore apps ie diskdigger, but many of them ask for you to root your android and im trying to find a good guide or a guide that you have used and it 100% works

diskdigger if you havnt got your phone rooted it still works but it finds a load of stuff like my viber pics and whatsapp pics, i just want back my camera roll

btw i have a moto g 3rd gen

many thanks

rob

There are really many different ways and programs to root different devices. Please post your phone model first.

----------------------------------
UPD: Oh, sorry, I haven't seen at first that you mentioned it. I searched only for a few minutes in Web and most sites telling to use Superboot. Here is for example instruction both for Windows and GNU/Linux. Did you try it? If not, good luck!

Kingroot is quite good if you never mind about the ads. For pure rooting, check out auto-cf-root.

the answers to both your questions (restoring pictures and rooting) can most probably be found on xda-developers.

Why can't Google let us access root easily??? Stupid Android.
