Android Alert! Do Not Update/upgrade Your Device When It Is Rooted by eddyland: 10:58am On May 06, 2015
It has come to notice again that many folks out there are getting their rooted android devices bricked after receiving updates to their devices and when they respond by updating/upgrading.

So in order not to make similar mistake that others have made and got their android soft-bricked, I am using this opportunity to notify all droiders out there not to update or upgrade their android when it is rooted

In other words, what we are saying in essence is that to all android users out there, as a matter of precaution and to safeguard your device, if your droid is rooted and you receive updates over the air to update/upgrade or you want to update/upgrade it manually, it is highly advisable that you first of all unroot your android before going ahead with the update/upgrade, after which you can then re-root again.

To be fore-warned they say is to be fore-armed

The rooting is not the problem, it's the recovery they flashed.

That's for Infinix. Your theory applies 10% of devices only. Root or not , some updates even brick phones without Rooting. Blame the update providers.
