disabled, either for future use or to prevent the normal user from unwillingly
causing permanent damage to the operating system.

in between some apps, but you can make them go away once you root your phone.
Disadvantages of Rooting Android Phone:
Bricking
Not to demotivate you here, but this is the most
dreaded word of the rooting world. No matter how good you know about rooting a
device, but still if you miss out any step or you mistakenly flash a corrupt
zip file on your device you might end up with a bricked phone. Your phone will
have to pay a visit to the service centre and if they found out that you were
rooting your phone, they might as well ask for a penalty fee.
Root Access / Super User access
It’s seems pretty nice to have this, until
something goes wrong. One wrong setting or move in the wrong place/time, and
you will be in trouble.

you device. If you install any malicious/banned software or app on your android
device it increases the security risk.
