Question 1

1. What happens when you root your phone?

Accepted Answer

Rooting allows you to gain more access to your device. To put it simply, when you have an unrooted device, you can only tweak things that the manufacturer allows you. By gaining root access, you can modify your device’s software at the deepest level.

Question 2

2. Is it safe to root my phone?

Accepted Answer

Your smartphone will give you control over the system. However, this may also mean problems for people who don’t know what they are doing. With that said, if you have complete knowledge of this process, then it is an entirely safe method.

Question 3

3. Why should I root my phone?

Accepted Answer

Your smartphone has many advantages. Since you are gaining access at the root level, you can uninstall unused stock apps (AKA bloatware) from your phone that only clutters your home screen. You can also install custom ROMs to make use of your hardware further.

If your phone was left unsupported by your manufacturer, you could also install a Custom ROM on it to take advantage of the latest Android version. And there are more things you can do after rooting your smartphone.

Question 4

4. Can a rooted phone be unrooted again?

Accepted Answer

The process depends on the brand of the phone you have and the things you did after rooting your phone.

That has only been rooted: If, after rooting your smartphone, you did not install any custom ROMs or mess up with your system, unrooting your phone should be relatively easy. You can unroot your phone using an option inside the SuperSU app, which will remove the root access.

If your device is rooted with “systemless root” method in Marshmallow, tapping continue will open another dialog which asks if you’d restore the stock boot image. If you want your phone to keep up with future over-the-air (OTA) updates, we suggest tapping “Yes” here.

Question 5

5. Does Factory Reset remove the root?

Accepted Answer

Doing a Factory Reset on a rooted smartphone will wipe out all its data, but it won’t remove the root access.
