[@JstormZx]

@@toib765 agreed 100% Root more often than not makes my life with my phone so much easier and smoother. For example, people can't easily access android's data and obb folders on a12+ (there's a workaround on a11 that google has fixed) when you want to install or modify some games and stuff. With root no such restriction can stop us. We can access files much deeper than the average person. Then we have quality of life features I had to leave behind when moving to a custom ROM due to miui's heavy, laggy nature...things like Dolby Atmos, floating windows and mi screen recorder. Thanks to some awesome community contributions and magisk modules, I got those and a lot more back no problem.

Came back to rooting and modding after years of not doing so. Thing got a bit more complicated I see having either an A-only or an A/B device, recovery can't simply be hotbooted or flashed until you know where exactly is it in the phone (in boot, vendor, dedicated recovery partition, etc.), finding alternatives for some favorite but outdated modules. Man, these were nasty but I think I'm getting the hang out of it, especially when I'm lucky enough to get my hands on some Xiaomi phones.

Potentially another one - Disabling hearing warning forever. Or changing some locked settings in adb. In Tasker you can only disable WiFi/password lock or enable GPS if you are rooted. So you can't make an automation to disable wifi and enable password lock when going outside.

[@vonelfensenf8151]

To add my most needed feature here: Backups! Still very sad, that there is no other way (yes, even in 2024) to easily backup and restore app data from one phone to anther without rooting the phones first. (and by backup and restore, I mean 'including app/account data as well') Also Button Mapper is pretty neat with root and the NFCScreen Off Module.

Great video! I started out Years ago Rooting Samsung Phones but they got harder and harder to Root so then I switched to cheap Unlocked Motorola Moto G Phones because they were good and easy to Unlock the Boot Loader with and they still are but they only give you like one or two Years of Android Updates so then I switched to Google Pixel because of that reason. I still Root because some Apps I use require Root like AdGuard so I can install the Ad Blocking Certificate into the Root System Store to Block Ads in Apps and Terminal for using certain Commands and SSH for my Raspberry Pi and if you have a Google Pixel it's pretty easy to Root using Magisk and it's Free so why not? You might as well make your Device as useful and as powerful as possible.

can you help me please? i’ve been trying to root my samsung galaxy s7 edge, but it fails every time

[@JoshF151Tech]

@@antoncorsey9501 If your Phone is Carrier Locked you might not be able to Root it unless a Developer has made a specific Root method for it. If it's Unlocked then you have to Unlock your Boot Loader in order to Root with Magisk and if those things don't work try using other Versions of Magisk such as the Stable Version the Beta Version or the Canary Version. I've found that sometimes it might not work on specific Versions of the Magisk App for example when I got the Google Pixel March Update I had the Magisk Canary Version installed and it wasn't letting me Root my Phone so I tried the Beta Version of Magisk and it still wouldn't let me Root it so then I tried the Stable Version of Magisk and then it let me Root it so it seems to depend on what Version of Magisk you use for specific Devices and for specific Android Updates at least that's how it seems to be for me.

If you're running a WireGuard server at home too, you can use it to backup your phone from anywhere in the world at any time, as long as you have a decent internet connection.

So if I understood right you SSH into your rooted phone ? If that's the case that's really cool, rooting really doesn't improve the possibilities with phones

[@jschaefonator216]

@@ancestrall794 that is correct. LineageOS has a built in SSH server you can configure, there's a few guides online for doing so. Combine it with a couple of scripts (one that creates symkinks at boot to store keys at /.ssh on your phone) and one that uses rsync to copy data to a destination server, and bam, custom cloud backups. The SSH daemon binaries and configs can also be ported to stock ROMs too. All of this requires root though.
