What is rooting?

Rooting is essentially a process that allows users of smartphones, tablets or other devices running on Android to gain “superuser” access to the software.

Why it is required?

Rooting will allow the user to perform administrative tasks such as writing to locations normally restricted by the system which in turn will allow for deeper customization. For iOS users, rooting on Android devices could be thought of as a close equivalent to jailbreaking your device. Basically this done by replacing the stock ROM by a custom ROM. It can be accomplished by flashing.

What is Stock ROM?

          A stock ROM is the version of the phone's operating system that comes with your phone when you buy it.

What is Custom ROM?

A custom ROM is a fully standalone version of the OS, including the kernel (which makes everything run), apps, services, etc., - everything you need to operate the device, except it's customized by someone in some way. So what does the "customized" part mean? Since Android is open source, developers are free to take stock ROMs, modify them, strip them of garbage, optimize them, add things, and pretty much do whatever their imagination and skills allow.

What is flashing?

          Flashing refers to the overwriting of existing data on ROM modules present in an electronic device with new data. This can be done to upgrade a device or to change the provider of a service associated with the function of the device, such as changing from one mobile phone service provider to another or installing a new operating system. In simple words flashing is called installing firmware on your phone.
