There are many benifits of rooting your android phone:
- You can unlock all the customisations of your phone (you can use quickstep to enable the use of gesture navigation with launchers)
- You can delete system apps and systemize user apps via magisk modules from terminal editors like Termux
- You can modify boot animation
- You can get a lot out of your device with rooting
But there is also the flip side of coin, a rooted phone is insecure, if you grant root permission to some malicious app, it can access your system, kernel, and spread its roots deep in your device, it can take ownership of your device
Some banking apps, Netflix, and important security features of your device won’t work, it can be limited to some extent by using Magisk hide, it can hide itself from apps, but its still there, I don’t suggest using financial apps and accounts on a rooted phone
Rooting Instructions:
- All newer Android Phones can be rooted simply by flashing Magisk zip via Custom Recovery (TWRP, Orange Fox, CWM, etc.)
- Download the latest Magisk zip from here
- Reboot to Custom recovery, click on install, locate zip and flash. Done!
- You will see Magisk app in the app drawer, if you don’t, just install the apk from here
- There’s also another way around, though, it’s complicated and most people don’t use it, but if your device doesn’t have a custom recovery, just install the Magisk apk, get the boot.img file of your device by searching on the internet, and click on install button in Magisk app, select patch a file and then select the boot.img file
- It will patch the boot.img and store it on your phone
- Copy that file to your PC > platform-tools folder and rename it to boot.img
- Then reboot your phone into fastboot and flash using : fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Then: fastboot reboot
- Done !
