This rooting guide should help you take control over your device and install custom ROM, tweaks as well as boost device performance.

What is rooting?

Before you proceed with the rooting proper, it will be advisable to have some insights about what rooting is.

Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain admin privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.

Once your device is rooted, you can install different MODs, kernel, ROMs on your device. You can install the latest Android updates on an old device by installing custom firmware or ROMs like CyanogenMod 13 or LineageOS.

What to note

• Rooting your device will void the warranty.
• Make sure to install Qualcomm drivers on your computer if you do not have it installed.
• You rooting your device is all at your own risk. We are not responsible for what will happen to your device when you apply this guide wrongly.
• In order not to be in harm's way, consider taking a backup of your system and user data before applying this method.

Rooting advantages

The advantages of rooting include the possibility for complete control over the look and feel of the device. As a superuser has access to the device's system files, all aspects of the operating system can be customized with the only real limitation being the level of coding expertise. Immediately expectable advantages of rooted devices include the following:

• Support for themes, allowing everything to be visually changed from the color of the battery icon to the boot animation that appears while the device is booting, and more.
• Full control of the kernel, which, for example, allows overclocking and underclocking the CPU and GPU.
• Full application control, including the ability to backup, restore, or batch edit applications, or to remove bloatware that comes pre-installed on many phones.
• Custom automated system-level processes through the use of third-party applications.
• Ability to install a custom firmware (also known as a custom ROM) or software (such as Xposed, Magisk, BusyBox, etc.) that allows additional levels of control on a rooted device.

Requirements to root Infinix Hot 4

In order to root the Infinix Hot 4, you will need to first unlock the bootloader. Read carefully below all the steps required to root your Infinix Hot 4;

Unlocking bootloader

A Bootloader is a code that runs when we turn on our device. This code initializes some hardware and then loads the kernel and ramdisk, and gets the boot process going. So this process is known as Bootloader. The same concept applies to all the technical stuff such as laptops, PC, Smartphones, and any such device. Every Android OEM manufacturers lock the bootloader even though it is an Open Source. So if you want to try any CUSTOM ROM, it is impossible to load the CUSTOM ROM without the Unlock Bootloader.
If you are to unlock the bootloader of  the Infinix Hot S3, proceed this:

• Start by enabling the Developer Mode on the Infinix Hot 4
• Go to settings, about phone and tap on the build number until you get the message "You are now a developer"
• Return to settings
• Scroll down and tap on the Developer Options option
• Toggle the OEM Unlock option on
• Confirm by tapping the enable option.
• Install ADB drivers.
• Next, boot into fastboot mode. You can do it manually or by connecting to your computer while it's powered on with adb+fastboot drivers installed on your computer, use the following ADB command to boot into fastboot mode.

You will need to open the platform ADB tool and open a new command window with SHIF + Right-click.

• Now proceed with the flashing of the TWRP;

Now use the following command in CMD
