According to Wikipedia.

“Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative ( superuser) permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSDor OSX. Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices. Thus, rooting gives the ability (or permission) to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized applications(“apps”) that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device’s operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.”

Clapback of life

click like if your phone is rooted ....I prefer rooted phones anyways

why did you not proofread before posting?

By rooting your Android phone, can it override WIFI passwords?

oh

Right now in 2017, running into any of these mentioned risks is greatly unlikely, unless you're newest-bie in tech.

Hard bricking seems trifling these days now that frameworks and IDEs are much more stable.

And loss of data? Kidding me? When we have the best of TWRP and CWMs around.

And Privacy doesn't really matter much to an android enthusiastic. There's no much privacy around in this evolving technological world anyway.

Your points are good but they would have made better mark if it were 2011.

Random reboots isn't caused by rooting, OP you need to learn before you teach.

Once you know how to root phones. The only disadvantage of rooting is void warranty...and in this part of the world who warranty epp?

Now some apps wont work if you are rooted (Netflix, android pay etc) but with Magisk you can hide root from said apps.

My thoughts?

Well, I've been using phones since they became available to the general public (picture of my first one attached, I bought one like this brand new). I use an iPhone 7 now.

I've never had a need, not one, to "root" any phone.

I blame it on the Saber Tooth tigers.

Rubbish.You didn't explain shit.U only told us what even an SS2 boy knows.Mtcheew.Park well joor
