Trash!
Warranty doesnt work in nigeria.

Rooting your phone is the best decision you can take.

Eliminates BLOATWARE.

Improves battery charging

allows youto install useful apps.

Frees us from the shackles of useless preinstalled apps.

makes phone customization a reality.

OP you are very wrong about some issues. Apart from the first and only point i.e Warranty, rooting your device is quite an easy task, it's gotten so simple a noob could do it under 2 minutes.
Secondly, you said updates? A rooted device can get the best ROMs and kernels to fix those bugs with the official firmware.
Your phone lags? Gets hot? Battery drain issue? Or you just want an Avengers boot image? All you have to do is visit XDA today!
Dem sabi anytin?
I buy new phone 2day? If I no root ham dat day, install custom recovery, make I knw wetin coz ham.
In a nutshell, i cant use an android phone except it has been rooted
Presently enjoying android 9.0 (pie) on my old HTC one m8(whereas, d phone manufacturer stop updates on 6.0)
The only disadvantage I see here is warranty, which i term as fraud(my friend once got a Tecno phone, got screen cracked and she was told to pay for for the repair)

It is now harder to root phones now unlike before when you can use King root, frama root and some other rooting apps to root phones, though those apps are mostly used on MediaTek phones based on my test.

Now to root your phone, you have to have an unlocked boot loader, enter some fastboot commands via ADB before you'd be able to gain root access.

If you have an unlocked boot loader, just know you'd always be welcomed with a warning sign or image anytime you boot up your phone which is always annoying. But you can also hide that thanks to having an unlocked boot loader. undecided

Rooting is definitely a choice and there are a lot of goodies to enjoy as a techie on a rooted mobile.

But also Android phones right now are getting well updated and optimized, its just a matter of time there'd be a lot of customization options that'd be available for android phones in years to come, that's to stock android phones. Phones like Xiaomi, Huawei, Sony and Samsung phones already have some customization options by default which limits reasons for rooting phones.

Rooting phone all comes to how techie one is Shaa.

smiley Ever since i start to dy use rooted fone 7yrs ago(htc desire z)rooting don become my culture.i no fit use fone without rooting it because i love to exploit fones.i don root,brick,unbrick htc and sony fones by myself i neva see reason y i no go root my fone,infact it saves cost of buying another fone,for example d sony xperia z1 wey me dy use now was manufactured 4 yrs ago but wit custom roms i still enjoy d latest android version.


Rooting ur fones and flashing custom rom is unlocking its potentials that OEM wont tell you about because they want you to buy their latest fones.
IF WE NO ROOT OUR FONES WETIN WE GAIN?
CUSTOM OVER STOCK ROM ANYDAY ANYTIME..

Rooting your device is not an easy task,because you have gotten adept at doing it doesn't make it any easier,more than NINETY PERCENT of devices owners will brick their phones if they try it..

Android has gotten quite efficient in recent years and you don't need to root and install anything before you enjoy it,I've never rooted any of my devices and am very satisfied with their performances..
I disagree, rooting is quite easy, unless the person doesn't have sense grin

Thr re even step by step tutorials on YouTube /xda..

I rooted my previous samsung devices at my first try. Some phones even have one push root (root at the tap of a button)

Yeah,it is very easy UNTIL you brick your phone and will be running from pillar to post seeking on how to unbrick it..(one dude on Xiaomi thread has been sweating since yesterday on how to unbrick his device).

I maintain that ninety percent of phone users don't know what root is talk less of how to go about it and there's nothing having sense or not has to do with it,they just have other things to do with their time..

I use my phones as they are,just like most people..because am satisfied with it's features and have no hankering to tinker with it..

To each their own though..

If you don't know what you need root for you shouldnt bother thinking about rooting.
Most people just want to feel among and spoil their devices

Remove all spaces, visit the page, unrooting shouldn't be difficult if you can figure out what method was used to root. Goodluck
