Root package can also be difficult. Most Android devices support OTA or ICS updates, which can deliver new software or data to mobile phones and copy them to the SD card.

Your Android phone or a downloaded rooting tool may ask you to boot the device into recovery mode. In this case, rooting your phone directly is not possible.
