21. What is Android Rooting? Is it safe to Root
android ?[1]
Rooting is jail-breaking for Androids
People don’t like handset built-in firmware and their
Rom
allows users to dive deeper into a phone’s sub-
system
allows users to boost their handset’s operating
performance, install non-approved applications

23. Solutions[1]
manufacturers use rooting as an excuse to void your
warranty
you can always unroot the deviceI
to send the device back for repair,
first flash the original backup ROM you made
no one will ever know that it was rooted.
