If you want administrative privileges on your device, then you have to root your phone. OEMs lock the phones in order to prevent users from bricking their devices. Since Android is a flexible operating system, it allows for tweaking system settings. However, for that, you need to have root access on your phone. Once your device is rooted, you have full access to core files, settings, features, internal files, etc. You will be able to install restricted apps, modded apps, and also remove certain system apps as well.
But just like there are some pros related to rooting your phone, there are several cons as well. For rooting, usually, you would need a PC. Because you first need to unlock the bootloader and the rooting process itself requires a PC for executing some commands. Good thing is that if you own a Xiaomi device, we will show a process on how you can root your Xiaomi device without the need for a PC. So, with that being said, let us get straight into the article itself:
