In the language of Molière, the "root" translates to "root." As the name suggests, the "root" enables to raise the user rights of an Android device as a "Super User", also known as "superuser". From there, the user will be ability to access files located in the root of the smartphone, that is to say his system. After submitting the application for authorization (temporary or permanent), the user is able to modify the system files that can not normally be and / or allow third party applications to do this.
Why a mobile Android "new" does not have access to the root?
Simply by the fact that Google does not want to propose a system called "sieve". Logic. Imagine if a malicious application automatically had root, it would be ability to cause significant damage to the system, under normal circumstances, by accessing the sensitive parts of the system. In fact, Google has opted for a system of conditions, which is valid for all manufacturers who want to have the Google Play Store pre-installed in their product to offer for sale on the market. If you did not know, mobile devices, Google Nexus are part of those who are the easiest to rooter Android.
What are the risks of root Android?
Here we are talking of risks associated with the procedure after the root. Indeed, we will "flash" a dedicated file to the root of the Android smartphone and a custom recovery that will expand the range of possibilities, if necessary. To root, developers exploiting a system vulnerability. That is to say, a gap left open by the manufacturer or by Android that allows sustainable access to system files to the root of the device.
Depending on versions of Android, models numbers of appliances and other special conditions, you must know that flash a bad image can brick your Android device. More specifically, the term "polish an Android" is used when the mobile has become unusable after a lousy handling. Thus, it is so inert as a brick. If it is a "soft brick," it means that the blocking is rattrapable reinstalling the original system, while the "hard brick" means that the device is permanently blocked.
The root he lose the guarantee on Android?
Both simple and complicated but to take the example of Canada, made a rooter smartphone on its soil voids the warranty of the manufacturer without notice.
To return to the Old Continent, the European Union adopted Directive "1999/44 / EC ', which states that" changing the software part, including the root, in any case does not negate the minimum warranty of two years of the hardware, the manufacturer must ensure the buyer. " However, "if the manufacturer is ability to prove that the root has damaged the hardware, then the guarantee is void." As it is, we could think of overclocking that can heat the processor to the point of grilling, especially. Still, the evidence due to abnormal wear due to the hardware root, in this case, can sometimes be difficult to find.
