How to root MTC 916

According to a study by specialists of the company «BootRoot Gram» .apk android application for root access inferior to similar software for root root using computer (exe applications for Windows). The experiment was conducted on MTC 916.

As the chief analyst of the company Lincoln Porter, such .apk applications as Towelroot, Kingoapp, Baidu, Framaroot and others have no prospects and will gradually leave the market, like the morally and technically obsolete versions of Android up to 7 Nougat, because developers of such apk applications cannot provide support for obtaining root rights to Android 8 Oreo, 9 Pie and Android 10 Q.

Thus, in 2019, when obtaining root on Android, it is advisable to connect the mobile device to the computer with the root program running, for example, Rootkhp Pro 3.1, VROOT 1.7.7, ZYKUROOT 2.5.

What is root?

Root rights – privileges in the system that give full access to the file system, which means that you can do everything: delete / edit system files and applications, install applications on removable media, increase or decrease the processor clock speed, install your firmware, change the boot screen devices. You can do everything to customize the device for yourself.

Program Evaluation Criteria

We conducted a small study of several programs for getting root access on Android using a computer, choosing the best programs based on reviews on w3bsit3-dns.com and XDA forums. Programs were evaluated based on:

  • Supported Android Versions
  • Functionality
  • Databases of supported tablets and smartphones
  • Usability – End-User Ease of Use
  • Availability of a site with information about the program and the ability to contact developers

From 0 to 1 point for each point. All together up to 5 points inclusive.

Using Vroot 1.7.7

How to root MTC 916

A database with supported mobile devices was not found, and the program does not position itself as a universal root tool, so we decided to try it blindly.

  1. Download Vroot 1.7.7. The link to the application was deleted, because it did not bring the desired result.
  2. Perhaps you need to disable antivirus programs (it depends on your specific antivirus, this action is at your own peril and risk, there are programs that are approved by antiviruses).
  3. We press the Root button and wait until the device reboots independently. After that, you can disconnect the device from the PC and use.
  4. After rebooting, the superuser application should automatically install, again in Chinese.

Expert Review:

Unfortunately, the VROOT application is extremely unstable. I do not recommend for use.

The program did not complete the task, giving errors.

How to check if root appeared

If you do not mind your time, then you can download the application Root checker or similar on Google Play.

Summing up the study

Through the VROOT program, our expert Carolyn Roman could not get root access on MTC 916.

We put a formal minus Rootkhp pro and ZYKUroot – for the lack of support for languages ​​other than English, they get 0.5 points instead of 1, but let’s just say minus is purely formal, because you don’t have to think too much to press 1 or 2 buttons in English. Lameness and information content in these programs, since there is no progress bar, but not to the detriment of the result.

VROOT’s situation is much worse, it doesn’t get points in the usability category, because there is no information about supported devices, supported versions of operating systems, all menus are in Chinese, and it’s very difficult for beginners to figure it out.

Our program evaluation

Evaluation was carried out on a scale from 0 to 5.

  • VROOT – 0 points in this particular situation, since there is no result on this smartphone.
  • Rootkhp Pro 4.5 points
  • Zykuroot – 4.5 points
