How to Root your android phone:
Rooting your android phone is now divided into two stages now, if you can pass this stages your phone will rooted in next 10 minutes!
Stage 1:
The stage 1 of our rooting process is installing the custom recovery into your android phone, there are various custom available but all recovery aren't supported by your device until you have very popular devices.The reason why you have to install custom recovery is stock(default) recovery doesn't have "Install zip" option. You must have that option to install the super user application and gaining the super user access.
I recommend you to go with Clock work Mod (CWM) recovery or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) recovery, these two are most popular custom recovery available for android phones and tablets.
