What is Rooting in Android




If you have a Android smartphone then you must have heard about " ROOTING
So What is it? Why people root their devices? What are the Advantages and the Disadvantages?

Rooting in ANDROID is the process which allow users of smartphones, tablets , and other devices to gain Full control on their device in short you'll gain "Root access" of the device. It is performed with the goal of overcoming limitations thatcarriers and hardware
manufacturers put on some

devices. After rooting you will have a app called "Superuser"  or "SuperSU" which is necessary for providing permissions to apps
Benefits :-  If you rooted your device successfully you'll have root access you can now easily remove the bloatware, apps that comes with your phone, manually deny app permissions, run a firewall access the entire file system, or tether your device, with tethering apps on Play store.You can also give root permissions to apps that require root access, Overclock the device or install custom recovery...etc. These list is never ending

Disadvantages :- So all these were the benefits. There are some Disadvantages which you should know.

Rooting Breaks Warranty :– Some manufacturers assert that rooting voids your device’s warranty. But rooting will not actually damage your hardware. You can also“Unroot” your device and your manufacturer won’t be able know whether your device was rooted or not you can simply Fool them ;)

Bricking :– Rooting a device is a very safe process. But still there are  there are some chances of “bricking” adevice when you don't follow the rooting process properly and hack around with it For example: If you’re trying to root a device not supported by a tool or app you might Brick your device.  “Bricking”means to breaking the device, making the device useless. When you root your beloved device and try to install a custom ROM, or otherwise hack around, you do so at your own risk. We will suggest you to do a bit of research first and see if
other people report success

rooting your device. And Don't follow the process meant for other devices.
So should you Root your device??

Conclusion :- If u ask me then I would suggest you to do so. But only if you want to do special things and you are a extraordinary user. And if you are a Newbie than first understand all the thing mentioned above and do a bit research on Internet. My very own device is "Rooted" and now feeling like the God of it.. ;)
