How to Root the Huawei Mediapad 10 Link

Rooting the Mediapad Link 10 S10-201u is not as difficult as you might think, as the developers are always trying new tricks to make rooting as easier as possible. With the tools like Vroot, you now have an easy way gain root-access on your device. So if you have the aforementioned device and you want to root it, here’s what you need to do.

Rooting is the process of gaining administrative rights on your Android device.  Once we root our Android device, we can then make changes to it to customize it well beyond what it normally can do.

Once you have root access on your Huawei Mediapad 10 Link S10-201u, you’ll be able to:

• Remove apps that were preinstalled by your carrier/manufacturer from your device.
• Free up storage space (because of the above benefit).
• Increase battery life (apps that might have been running constantly can be removed).
• Increase performance (after removing apps that are always running, the device will be less bogged down and run smoother).
• Update to a new version of Android (by flashing a custom recovery/ROM, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
• Tons of other customizations when you use your new found administrative rights to flash a custom ROM (again, see the end of this procedure for more info on that).
