This tool verifies if you successfully performed the tutorial or made a mistake. This app provides a quick way to check and verify if you followed all the instructions correctly. And it also checks if BusyBox is installed or not on your phone.

Root Checker allows you to verify root access (supersu or su) permissions are configured properly or not. This is a free app that does what it says by the name. And you know it is completely safe because it has been used by over 50 million Android devices. If you are ever concerned that someone else might have installed root access on your Android phone, this app can check and confirm this for you. Not just this, it also does a quick check of Superuser or SuperSU app is working without any problems or not.

The method to gain full root access on Android devices has changed over the years. Earlier it used to be as simple as checking the apps list for the Superuser or SuperSU apps. Now you also have Magisk, another root access utility that you install on rooted phones now. Magisk comes with plenty of new features to enjoy mods and options that were not available before.

There are also scenarios where you try to uninstall or remote root access from your phone. The root manager app is uninstalled successfully, but the actual root permission still stays making your phone vulnerable to hacks and attacks from unsafe Android apps.
