Why You Shouldn't Root Your Android Phone

Rooting a mobile phone has some benefits as well as
its disadvantages even if it gives you more control of
your phone.
This is due to the complexities associated
with rooting your devices expecially devices that runs
on android 6.0 Marshmallow and above. Also phone's
that uses processors other than MTK processors like
the Qualcomm Snapdragon is often difficult to root
using simple tool like Kingroot. The risk is even worse
if it is not done by a professional. Some of the risks
are highlighted below
Phone data may be lost
When you root your phone, you will be resetting it to
the factory settings. This means that you will lose all
the data that you have on your phone including
contacts, downloaded apps , pictures, videos,etc. You
will be able to backup text messages and your gallery
files with the help of apps, cloud syncing or by copying
to your PC. Those can be easily restored. What you
won't be able to backup is your app data.
Exposes your phone to security risks
Rooting exposes your device to unauthorised access,
data leaks and theft, as well as hardware failure
among others. Thus, if you have sensitive information
on your phone, do not root it.
Voids the phone's warranty
Manufacturers will not welcome warranty claims for
devices tampered with by their customers. That
includes both hardware and software changes, the
latter of which includes root. So if rooting goes wrong,
you may need to get another phone.
Can cause update issues
One of the issues related to rooting android is
performing updates. Updates may fail to install due to
software changes that occur while the phone has been
rooted. Being unable to update your phone makes it
susceptible to hackers. They will have a field day
stealing your information.
Rooting never goes wrong
A tech guy may find the process of rooting android
phones very easy. But if you are a learner or beginner,
there is a 99% of you to damage your phone if you
attempt to root it yourself expecially those who are
always in a hurry not to read full instructions before
carrying out the rooting process. For me, Kingroot is
one of the best app for rooting android phones. The
process is very simple and anyone can do it, if you try
using Kingroot and doesn't work for you, you should
just forget about rooting or if you still fancy rooting
you should follow instructions step by step so as not to
brick your phone.
Sometimes, if you follow the right step but download
the wrong rooting files, it may brick your device. The
fault won't be from you but maybe the file that was
uploaded was corrupted ,so flashing a corrupted file to
your phone will damage it.
Next will be the advantages of rooting your device, so
at the end of the day you will have to weigh both the
pros and the cons to decide if your mobile phone is
worth rooting.
