Part II: Should We Root Our Android Device? ![]() Rooting unlocks the full potential of your device, not restricted by what the manufacturer allows you to do with it through software restrictions. This is why some manufacturers claim outright that your warranty will be void if you root your device because anything can be done to the OS, including putting a heavily modified version of the OS that is not the official OS on the device. This lets you make changes to the OS in ways it is not possible without this access. Rooting provides unrestricted access to all parts of the operating system. ![]() This is done to protect user privacy and make sure that the operating system is not damaged or bricked in any way by user error or by malicious apps downloaded inadvertently from unknown, untrusted sources. The normal state of your Android operating system is that certain areas of the OS are secured and nobody has access to them. ![]() ![]() For the uninitiated, they might wonder what is this rooting and what is the fuss about? Simply put, rooting provides unhindered access to the entire Android operating system. Any discussion around Android OS is quite incomplete without the word ‘root’ and a process called rooting.
