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.

Re: Disadvantage Of Rooting Your Android Smartphone by Brigance(m): 8:39am On Aug 16, 2017 |
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. 12 Likes |

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.
