This is true, sah.
However, sah, a rooted phone will be FAR more deeply penetrated and compromised than non-root.
So much so that you might as well throw the phone away...

Advantage is that your phone ram will increase and you will be able handle apps that are not ment for the device. Rooted device can be used for hacking wifi and other devices with hacking apps.

A root device does not need google inputs for it runs apps. You an stay ananymous from Google.

Disavantages
Your rooted device will need a strong anti virus app cause without it, your device is open to the weakest malware or virus which will destroy your hardware components easily.

If your device is rooted your device can be easily hacked by a third party app or any hacker because by rooting it you have removed the manufacturer defensive systems.




Whether rooted or not, your phone can still be hacked.

PAQ:
Rooting makes you a SuperUser and removes all restrictions and the inbuilt security Android provides, its like removing all the margins and lines of an exercise book leaving you with plain white paper for you to scribble as you wish.

It comes with advantages & disadvantages but if you are not tech savvy, developer or mobile security expert its best to avoid rooting. A small mistake will render a rooted phone useless because all protections & restrictions are off cos you now have access to system files which you may not understand.

ADVANTAGES:
1. Full customisation; from boot screen to custom recovery to a custom rom and total redesign of your homescreen. If you dont understand the terminology i used then avoid rooting until well read!
2. Downgrade/upgrade Android Os or installing custom roms that add more functions and or tweaks.
3. Rooting will allow you alter or remove restrictions on some apps and also install some outdated/banned/region blocked apps.
4. It allows you to modify or instal modified/tweaked kernels and governors.
5. You can undervolt or overclock the processor of the phone. I undervolt to save battery life, then change governors. This was one of my major reasons for rooting back in the day when phones came with small batteries. To be honest most people dont need all that power in our phones that causes over heating and battery drain.
6. With rooting you can improve camera quality by installing third party cameras, google camera, or modify init.d scripts.
7. It allows for changing of imei, which is illegal and can send you to jail in some countries.

There are many other things rooting allows, although these days some of these things can be done without rooting but there is always a catch, were as rooting gives total freedom.

DISADVANTAGES
Disadvantages mostly affect noobs, people who lack the understanding of rooting cos it is highly technical.
1. It exposes you to malware and cyber intrusions because you have lifted all android restrictions and compromised the security model of Android. Rooted phones will no longer install official updates and security patches to keep your phone safe & secured.
But if you are rooted with Magisk and understand how to modify boot.img then there is a way of installing OTA.... I hope i havent lost you here?
2.You can mistakenly delete or tamper with system files thereby turning your device into a brick.
3. Banking apps abroad check for rooting and will not work on rooted phones as a security measure to protect users. Something our banking apps dont do but should. For you banking apps to work you must do some added stuff called "magisk hide" which is not a ๐Ÿ’ฏ guarantee.
4. You can mistakenly wipe you system/os if you dont know what you are doing. There is also a way to reinstall.... If you know what you are doing.
5. It voids some warranties & return policies in some countries.

The 2 major disadvantages are the banking apps & exposure to security risks. The rest comes from mistakes and not enough knowledge on rooting.

Rooting and being a SuperUser is what makes Android fun, its not for everyone. If you dont want you can always unroot the phone back to stock.

Hope my explanation was easy to understand.



Banking apps still work

I have a problem with my Xiaomi poco x3 nfc. I bought it brand new as it came out, used it for a year and handed it over to my wife. I had some issues with it, but didn't really pay attention to it as android phones get sconscon at times. Lately my wife is now complaining seriously about the phone, it hangs, goes off multiple times, get so hot. Sometimes she sends me Vn on whatsapp and they come empty( I had this issue also when I used it), view statuses on whatsapp gets blurry. I was which kind phone be this, phone wey be 2yrs old.

I bought my Samsung note 10 plus(UK used), I have been using it after I gave my wife the poco. I have been using it for a year and few months and no any issues since I bought it.

I just got my wife s21 ultra, I have no hope for that xiaomi. I used to say samsung and other big brands are over rated, with what happened to this poco x3, seems all these xiaomi , tecno, infinix are good phones, durability is a problem, they will not last long. Even my friend that just got mi 11 lite 5g is already complaining the screen will go blank and off, he is still saying na app de cause, I just de smile that this phone go soon show you shege.

Their attitude is becoming so annoying, okay just look at Mimusic player, there's a complain I've laid concerning the app for a very long time now. After series of updates they're yet to fix the rubbish. I should be able to see the location of the current song once I tap the now playing list but Xaomi won't do that. And whenever they do update it is usually 88mb worth of data and yet that simple thing they cannot fix. But their fanboys won't let me hear word, I left Tecno and infinix to join Xaomi but they wouldn't want you to say anything bad about it when it's actually truly bad. To update phone na wahala, I'll have to go to their website and download the file then update manually. Abeg make the fanboys Bleep off.

Mi music is your problem? grin grin grin cheesy cheesy try chop first. E get why

I am sorry to bring this up here but I need clarification..

I referred a colleague of mine to get redmi A1+ due to her tight budget.

During the camera testing I noticed images was upside down and I thought it was due to software which could be solved by factory reset and I didn't pay attention to it.

The next day she went back to the company that sold her the phone for exchange, but they told her to wait for the engineer to confirm first, and the engineer wasn't around.

Third day the engineer came and did a factory reset and confirm it has hardware issue which is from the camera sensor.

4th day she was told only thing there could do was to send the phone to Carlcare.

On the 5th she didn't come work.
On the 6th day, she gave them the phone and they took it to their Carlcare..
Now she says she doesn't want the current phone(A1+) which will be repaired ,that they should give her a new phone or she adds cash to get another..
The company declined the offer and she's still adamant of not taking back the previous product...

Please I need your input on how to go about this, because I also take blame for referring her.

Thanks




Be a man and take the blame.

Next time avoid the urge to ........... smiley

Hi Guys, I'm new to this thread.
My Redmi note 9 running on MIUI 12.0.7 stopped connecting to Google services after factory data reset, so I just want to upgrade it to MIUI 12.5 or 13 so I'll see if that can solve my problem.
I already have the Recovery ROM downloaded but I don't know how to go about it.
Or if I should go with fastboot.

But google search is free
