why would anyone say rooting has disadvantages?? rooting only becomes bad to you if you don't know what you are doing.. Rooting , superuser/chainfire is the best thing to ever happen to Android... Cwm and twrp recovery is the second best...


THE DAY, CHAINFIRE DEVELOPER GIVES UP ON ANDROID AND ROOT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE, IS THE DAY I WILL GET TIRED OF ANDROID

let me say 90% of android users has root their phone how many of them complain of virus?
rooting only gives u more administrator's rights to ur phone.
Dude I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell if you have a virus in your phone. Contrary to what people think, there are viruses that cause no physical/technical harm to your phone. All they do is to spy on you and steal sensitive data.

Wittylens is correct. When you root your phone, you have root access to all files on the phone. You can delete anything, replace radio image etc. The problem is you have given a backdoor to rogue apps. The amount of damage they can do goes from being able to steal your information to wiping your data, installing virus etc. I have some rooted phones, but no way I root my primary phone. Any Linux user knows the foolishness of running as root. Rooting your phone is a close second, just because of the power apps can now have.

What do you mean by no risks, I've seen many people complaining about not being able to use their phones for a long time cos it's bricked and they didn't know what to do about it or have tried but couldn't fix it. Maybe it's not that common anymore because people are learning to take precautions but still, someone that is new to it needs to be reminded of the potential risk so they would be prepared in case anything goes haywire.
if u read and carefully follow procedures for the rooting of a particular phone, there is certainly no risks involved. As 4 a rooted phone, u can easily unbrick as many times as you brick, u can as well recover ur phone when Locked beyond code entries, without having to format system. These 2 above stated cases, would cost an unrooted phone user alot of Cash, and in d case of bricking, irreversible damage. Maybe we should use Google and YouTube more Often, to prevent these kind of talks.

Whoever wrote this crap must be using a Nokia 3310 because he actually has very limited. if any, knowledge of what rooting is.

Dude, there are two basic types of bricks. The soft and the hard. The soft brick can easily be fixed and recovered from, but when you hard brick a phone. It has a 90% chance of staying dead for life. No pun intended. grin grin

rooting gives you administrative rights over the function and use of your phone. After rooting and developer's actions, my phone boots in just 2secs plus the control of using VPN and so on

I know, wanted to explain it in d simplest way... As in 2 say brick is brick 4 easy understanding.... But when u soft brick an unrooted phone, chances of getting it back r slim, & moreover, u just can't easily HARD BRICK ur phone, it happens in most cases of carelessness. One more thing, root privileges is for people who knows what they are doing.
