Important Considerations Before Rooting Your Smartphone

You should ensure that the phone is charged at least up to 80% before rooting it. Rooting may take some time and if the battery dies before it is completed, then the phone can get damaged. You should unlock the bootloader before rooting the phone. This is because an Android manufacturer does not allow you to root in a locked bootloader. Take a backup of your phone’s data before rooting it. If the data is lost during rooting, you will have a backup to restore your phone. You should also install TWRP Recovery on your smartphone before rooting it.

Benefits of Rooting

It allows you to control the phone’s operating system, internal components, applications, etc. Generally, Android smartphones do not let you delete the pre-installed apps. However, you can delete these apps on a rooted smartphone. This cleans the clutter on your phone and provides a snappier experience. You can also upgrade to the latest Android ROM on your rooted smartphone. You can change the skins and finetune other aesthetics of your smartphone after rooting it.
