Android Rooting-Should you?


On the topic of Android, it is most likely that ROOTING is the keyword that you may come across with high frequency when researching “Android”. So, you want to know about rooting your Android? This may sound a little bit confusing and maybe scary. It’s kind of a big decision to make. To root, or not to root. Let’s do not rush and read a little more about its advantages and disadvantages.

About ROOTING-in a nutshell

Android, as an operating system that is rife in this era of Smartphones, is based on Linux. Anyhow, apps need permission to access certain parts of Linux, and not all of them have this “root” access.

Just as other operating systems, the one running on your Android phone is also designed with several limitations and restrictions by carriers or manufacturers for commercial concerns and also safety reasons.

ROOTING, on the other hand, is a modification process to the original system, in which the limitations are removed and full-access is allowed and thus resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps and even facilitate the removal and replacement of the device’s operating system with a custom one.

PROS & CONS---Dangerous? Or worth to try?

Basically the benefits that ROOTING your Android device can offer are all about acquiring high-level permissions, with which you could overcome all limitations and do modifications you like.


There are certain consequences for sure. Two main disadvantages you may need to be aware are:
1. Rooting immediately voids your phone’s warranty.
By not allowing access to the superuser account, the manufacturers and your carrier have basically protected you from doing things that change the system and make it unstable. It is plainly stated that altering or using unapproved software voids your warranty, and ROOTING falls into that category.
2. Rooting involves the risk of “BRICKING” your phone.

There are more potential ones with less severity but worthy of consideration, such as viruses.

To ROOT, or Not To ROOT?

So should you root your device? Maybe you don’t. Basically it is not necessary. Don’t root your device just for the sake of rooting it, but if you come across something you feel could use or would like to have, then consider it. Anyway, the decision to ROOT your Android is one that should not be rushed into. Through the allure of having an unrestricted phone is wonderful, having a “Bricked” phone is, not so much fun.

Can I go back and UNROOT it?

It is kind of depends on the model of your device. Some of them are ridiculously easy to revert, some are not. There will be consequences that you should weigh before you dive in and root. Usually there will be discussion about un-rooting and going back to stock firmware. The thing you should do is taking the time to find and read that information so you’re aware of the status in case things gone badly.
Always remember, you can ask for help. If you find yourself stuck in the middle of trouble, ASK for advice. Our support group is full of fine folks and they are more than happy to help.

I have a tablet that has android os on it, I was not able to connect to it (Driver missing) so after a bit of searching I found

MoboRobo - The Android Smartphone PC Manager. Free for Life!

This tool allows you to Manage Your Android or iPhone from PC Desktop!. So the tablet I have has a rk30sdk chip and I was unable to find a driver, the above program will automatically look for a driver and install. Once moborobo recognized my device, I removed it and tried kingoapp, guess what I now have a rooted tablet and have removed the phone apk.s that are not required in this tablet

@Rat was your device just trying to connect to kingoapp but would not connect, try moborobo mate it may help

Be very cautious this app also installs in the background Chinese rouge ware,
I have used this in the past on loads of generic Chinese mobiles and also had problems removing the super user app it installs.

There are much better ways to root your device like root with restore by bin4ry or the moto chopper exploit.

Is there any way to check what it has installed, the only reason I used it was cos I could not find a driver to use and this was a quick if not dirty option

Been as your now rooted you can check what's installed using a root explorer app.you need to look in system/app folder make sure it's mounted R/W where you will be able to remove what should not be there..but unless your real android savvy it will be hard to know.and I can not remember the rough files..you maybe okay..basically it was found out it gathered info and sent it to a place in china..don't know if it was just phone stats or more sinister..I can not remember what files need to be deleted...will try to find out over at XDA.
 
For some reason when I am signed in I can not see my last post or AJT's post, is there some issue with the forum

".basically it was found out it gathered info and sent it to a place in china..don't know if it was just phone stats or more sinister..I can not remember what files need to be deleted."

I spent a few hours last night trying to find out about this however barring a couple of posts mentioning this, I could not find anything concrete. Its seems the moborobo developers are quite big in china and there seems to be lots of posts by people using the software but very little about the data and files sent without knowledge.

Can you provide any further info ?

Hi mate,if you go to XDA and search kingo app there is a huge topic about this..
 
For some reason I am now unable to see the second page of posts, thanks or the reply and I guess it would help if I searched for the correct app :)

No worries..the kingo app has been investigated a few times by XDA as they would not provide the code to check
For people to see it was nothing dangerous...
As far as I know today it's been labeled as okay to use..
 
Right it seems the bone of contention was that IMEI and S/N was being sent to china, apparently the 2 files installed are mtkcamera apk (actually IS part of the exploit), the other is diaggetroot. (Also part of the exploit).

Someone commented diaggetroot is on github and is 100% clean. As for mtkcamera, the app was not installed on their phone, no app has been using their camera. Apparently removing these files will still allow the root function to work as those files are only used to get root access installed in the first place.

What XDA were concerned with is the fact that your devices Serial number and IMEI numbers are collected during the root process. This is something which is not necessary at all in order to achieve root. They also use free servers in China in order to minimize cost to themselves. They say it will be removed in 2.0, apparently someone else mentioned this action was removed from happening in Version 1.1.2.

I am pretty sure the copy I used was V 1.1.2

I don’t have GPS and it’s not a phone so I am not too bothered. However I guess it could take photos and send them somewhere (Not sure what they would think when they saw the pic's) however another comment mentions that they rooted their phone months ago and they have not had any issue at all and their phone has not been reported stolen. I found this in the following 2 threads

Is Kingo root program spying on you? - Pg. 2 | Verizon Galaxy Note 3 | XDA Forum
Kingo root malware? - Pg. 8 | AT&T Galaxy Note 3 | XDA Forum

See the following for a response from kingoapp for what it’s worth
