Rooting Any Android phone means getting Superuser access to your phone. With Superuser access means, you can now make system and firmware level changes, you can edit otherwise restricted system files, stock apps, roms, kernel, etc. On a non-rooted phone, you won’t be able to make internal changes to vital system files but on a rooted android phone, you can do almost anything like installing a new custom rom, firmware, like setting your cpu speed, overclocking, tweaking system files to get the most of your phone, unlocking hidden options and potentials of your phone which have been restricted by the phone manufacturers or carrier otherwise.

Many apps in android market require you to root your phone first so that those apps could work properly. Actually such apps require superuser level permission to modify your system files and actual behavior to meet the required purpose.

Rooting has several advantages but it has other disadvantages also which are worth mentioning. Here, they are :

  • Rooting may brick my phone (may cause my phone to come to the state of inoperable.)
  • It increases security risks – As with rooting, you grant superuser access to apps, certain apps from unknown
  • sources may be malicious in nature and thus may turn unsafe.
  • It may cause unwanted changes and thus may impact in negative way over the functions, features and usability of your android phone.

Does rooting android phone void warranty ?

The answer to this question is YES and NO.

Yes why – The phone manufacturers may consider this (rooting phone) to be case of mishandling and tampering with the product and thus disapprove of warranty claim.

NO why – In many cases, if you have rooted android phone, you can always unroot your phone back to its default state. So, you can easily go to your phone manufacturers and claim warranty services. Even if you have rooted phone and somehow you’re not able to unroot it, your phone manufacturer may entertain your warranty claim if the staff at the service center is a reasonable person and of kind nature. Further you may act as innocent claiming that you don’t know what rooting is and you have not done anything wrong. Hence, in this way, you can easily get warranty even on your rooted android phone.
