Risks of Rooting an android phone

Rooting is a process which provides users full access to their smartphone and allows them to customize it according to their needs. The process of rooting can be accomplished through "Kingo" or "Kingroot" app. Smartphones like Micromax, Vivo, Lenovo etc can be easily rooted using any of the two apps. By rooting you can increase the RAM of the smartphone using its SD card BUT inspite of some advantages it has more DISADVANTAGES or we can say RISKS


1. SECURITY RISKS



As mentioned above that rooting an android phone allows full access to users...but according to the rule of nature to get something we have to loose something i.e if we want full access to our device then we have to loose its security. Many people often thinks that Rooting an android phone only removes the restriction of uninstalling in - built mobile apps....but rooting also malfunctions it and remove the SECURITY of your device which provides hackers to easily interfere in your device and access to your personal data including  your essential PASSWORDS

2. IT VOIDS THE WARRANTY


As you are customizing your device on your own so it may lead to some hardware faults such as damage to motherboard of the phone...so for these types of faults user have to go to service center to get it repaired but all the mobile manufacturers does not take any responsibility of the faults welcomed by the users themselves.

Now some of you will think after this that if the motherboard is damaged then how come the service executive will know that phone is rooted but as they are trained service executives, they will come to know whether the phone is rooted or not.

3. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR SMARTPHONE


The process of ROOTING may malfunction your device due to code modifications of Android and sometimes due to code modification your device gets too much malfunctioned i.e., damaged or we can say- it is turned into a BRICK.


4. UPDATE ISSUES


you fail to install updates on your device due to software modifications and Android distribution as in the latest smartphones updates run on the stock un-rooted devices.
So you have to wait for an modded OS or for a new ROOT method which include the latest update.

This is not to scare you of ROOTING your device but just to aware you of the risks of rooting so that you should think twice whether to root your device or not.
