How to Root the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (Korean)
There’s a good news for the folks in Korea who have got a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge phablet. You guys now have a root method for your device that roots the device and lets you get the most out of it. Not only is that, it unlocks the ability for you to flash a custom recovery on your device in the future (or when one becomes available). So, here’s how you can go about rooting your device:
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 Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (Korean), 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).
