How to Grant Root Permission for Android Data Recovery?

After successfully rooting your Android device, a root management app (like Super User, Super SU, KingUser, etc.) is automatically installed. This app controls which applications get special "root" access to your device.

Why This Matters for Data Recovery:

(1) To deeply scan your rooted device and recover lost data, any Android data recovery software (including Coolmuster Lab.Fone for Android) needs root permission.

(1) You'll see a prompt on your device requesting this permission.

How to Grant Permission:

(1) When Prompted: During the scan, a pop-up will appear on your Android device asking to grant permission to "Android Assistant" (Coolmuster's helper app).

(2) Tap "Grant" or "Allow".
