What is Rooting? Why is rooting done on Android Phones?
Rooting is the process that allows the users of the smartphones and other Android devices to attain the status of a developer and gain access of those areas of the software which are generally blocked by the manufacturer. The areas are blocked because of different reasons which chiefly include protection of the user’s privacy and to save the device from malwares and threats. However, the policies may vary from developer to developer. When on one hand rooting allows the user to access the hidden areas of the software, on the other hand it may cause severe damages to the phone which ends up affecting the device’s warranty.
