If you're in India, I still won't recommend rooting right now. There's been a recent push of root checkers in applications that aren't even worth it (food/grocery delivery apps). Hiding root access is still not enough in such scenarios. I love rooting my phones as well, but now my hands are tied.

[@FunThingsAreFun6969]

Kernel SU is a great alternative if you are in this kind of situation. I used it and no apps detected root ! On the downside, most magisk modules don't support kernel su. Also unless you have a device that was launched recently (to be specific, with kernel version 5.10 +) it will be a pain to set this thing up. !!

[@binku09]

hey man thanks for the tutorial to install PixelOS on my RN10PRO. Loved it, and still using it. I wanna root it so bad but I'm scared about these things. Why does a food app even need an unrooted phone 😢

magisk delta(kitsune mask) is a magisk fork that focuses more on hiding root and works perfectly for me. Try it out!

[@atharvazanjad9430]

Might I ask which apps? The only apps I am unable to run are government apps such as madhaar and digi locker (which I might be able to with some work around) but their web interface are much better

If you don't root your phone you don't truly own the phone you paid for. Android is typically a locked down containerized OS that lets you do stuff under a single user but all real control over the os is locked down, it's like having Windows but without any access to the admin account. The OEM can implement any backdoors, spying, and remote-access to the phone they want. There's also things completely locked off to you like altering device ids / device info, kernel params, truly removing system apps, etc. That alone is a huge reason to root, it would be nice for the customization stuff of the old days of rooting to be around but even without that rooting is extremely important

Can confirm, spoofed phone works fine for mobile wallets and google photos. But when mobile wallets require hardware attestation, it may just not allow it. Although many apps that would use root use more of your battery.

[@leah2074]

It is really worth it, particularly coz some apps and storage permissions aren't accessible since Android 11 and above. In conclusion, rooting is just for those people who wants to use their phone's full potential. If you're not these people then don't root your phone, simple as that.

[@syedhasanjilani]

Getting the original Pixel phone feature of unlimited Google photos n videos was and will be my first choice of getting my device rooted. With over 50k pics spanning from the last 20 years, I cannot dictate Google to use their plan to access my own data. Late summer I exhausted all my limited of 15gb, but Today I have only 49mb of data which I couldn't figure out how to find it.

[@IanPlayzYT7523]

Question:Can you permanently change the system lock screen on root, like customize the home screen and deleting the system lock screen for good? because the themes app on my vivo phone literally is greedy with themes and I have no choice to pay. Question 2: Can I edit the android literal system assets so that I can have a permanent charging lamination with just a module and not a third party?

[@IndiaAssassin]

vivo doesnt allow bootloader unlocking i think and that sadly means no root

[@IanPlayzYT7523]

Can I use adb for bootloader

[@teaartist6455]

In general bootloaders are locked with codes. To unlock them (which you would usually do over adb) you sadly need the code. (For some companies that don't officially provide codes there may or may not be third parties that can get you a code, but you should do your research about their legitimacy before trying.) Also. If you do manage to root your phone do not, under any circumstances, relock the bootloader. Answer 1: In theory yes and given the way the rooting community seems to like their themes I would say that even in practice you can find a program/module that does that. For some background, "root" as a term comes from UNIX-like systems¹. Android is very, very locked down version of Linux and, as such, one of those kinds of systems. Root means (to my best knowledge) three things: 1) The "folder to hold all folders" (think C drive in Windows), which is also where important system files tend to be. The space you usually have access to as a user is in a specific subfolder of that. 2) A specific level of privilege to change things in the system. Specifically, the privilege to change anything any everything. (Yes this can potentially be dangerous.) 3) The user that has those privileges by default. (On many modern systems this user exists but is not usually logged into, instead specific other users ("Superusers") have the power to choose to do things with root privileges but don't by default.) Which is a long and complicated way of saying that rooting your phone theoretically gives you the ability to do basically anything with it. The main constraint is the availability of programs that do what you want and/or your ability to create them. Which can be learned, to be clear! I fully encourage you to learn coding if you're motivated to do so! Answer 2: This kind of has two parts. Firstly, In theory you can edit actual system assets. How easy it is I don't know. Secondly, a magisk module is kind of a third party application. It's a specific app/program meant to work with magisk that someone who is not you or your phone's company created. BUT as far as I know magisk modules tend to not be subscription services (TBH I would not give a subscription-service anything root access to my devices. That's just a recipe for disaster). ¹ Basically, computers that are either directly descendant from or heavily inspired by UNIX, which was a very popular old computer system.

I still can't open my bank app or any other government app. The first app didn't fix the problem, only managed to trick google play into thinking the device is certified. Can you help?

@@sambeckman Update: looks like I fixed the root detection on government apps. The method was to "disable" Magisk Delta and HMA via the app "Disable Application".

I also used blacklist in HMA but not sure if it did anything. There are still two apps instantly crash for me, I'd appreciate if you can help.

[@rigierish3807]

He can't do a single video for “how to root an Android” because there isn't a single universal way to do it. Or rather, there is a single one (actually two but the second is a rare case) to specifically root the device with Magisk, but first, Magisk isn't the only one, KernelSU also exist, and second, the “hardest” and most annoying part is doing everything that surrounds the Magisk part to be able to root your device, which includes before rooting, like unlock the bootloader, with each phone having its specific way of doing it, like finding your ROM and extracting the boot file from the payload.bin file to be able to patch it to root the device, etc... If you're really determined to do it, best thing I can redirect you to is xdaforums, where there are custom ROM, some mods, as well as guides to root your device, unlock the bootloader or flash a custom recovery, notably TWRP, and that for each device.

[@teaartist6455]

The official magisk guide is fairly straightforward arguably requiring, at most, some googling of terms and background info (that you probably already have by the time you get to rooting) and not being scared of the command line. I personally had a better experience with that than getting lost in the thicket or third party guides using alternative methods via TWRP and such. (For me specifically it was also a case of a poorly supported/documented phone vs. a more niche but more hacking-friendly phone, but there's still enough info and enough peculiarities of various devices that people forget to mention that I'd argue for trusting that over any random guide.)

[@snlagr]

this is still not enough to convince me to root, just minor improvements.. not mandatory

[@jhaysoncarter1900]

rooting a phone right now comes with so many risks it doesn't even feel worth it anymore. if you're not fortunate enough to have independent developers make a custom recovery for you, you have to take a risk of rooting via magisk patch and guest what, you just need to f**k up to find out

I was really looking for reasons to root my phone again after all these years. Last time I had a rooted phone was early 2018 I think and wanted to see reasons to do it again. At that time I was still young and didnt have access to any kind of debit/credit cards or bank accounts or important documents so I didn't care about vulnerability. Worst case scenario I would need to wipe my phone which never happened. After watching this video what I got out of it is this break down of the apps: Basically a vulnerable version of my phone that needs a sketchy app made by someone unknown who can one day feel like draining all of our accounts using his app that enables payments using my now existing bank account because I'm an "adult" now. The next 3 apps are useless customizations. A paid promotion for remote access app that has a existing variant that is free since forever. Button mapper is good but it works without root as well and its not like I have 20 buttons. IOS sounds????? like buy an iphone dude. And why mention all those customization apps at the beginning :D like it makes no sense if you wanna be like everyone just buy an Iphone. No storage restrict I cant really see where this is useful. The reason you cant select the "root" folder as you said is because each time you go in your file manager that place will be filled with random files instead of sorted in folders. Last but not least Cache cleaner. Nowadays apps are huge and in order to load faster they cache images that we frequently visit. For example gallery caches a smaller version of your pictures so that it loads super fast when you open it. If you clean the cache it means wasted time waiting for the app to cache itself again meanwhile you're wasting seconds of your life looking at the screen. It's cool that you get more free space but dude most phones nowadays come default with 256gb and it only goes up from there. Basically this video gives absolutely no valid reasons rooting your phone is what I got from it.

what's the name of that squarish mouse? it looks sick!

[@pav2k]

What about the OTA updates?

[@AftabKhan-ff3sx]

Is rooting your phone safe for using banking apps? That's the only thing stopping me from doing it.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Depends on the backing app. Some will work with broken safety net and others won't. Key Bank and Capital One work on rooted devices

Benefits Of Rooting In 2024 1. Blocking Ads 2. Uninstalling Bloatware 3. Using Custom/GSI ROM 4. Hack Games/Apps 5. Spoofing Device And Location/GPS 6. Bypassing Apk Verification (installing moded/original apps top of each other)

[@soulxadi]

how you spoof your location, gps-setter lsposed mod isnt working for me, any better alternatives?

[@teaartist6455]

You don't need root for a custom ROM. In fact you should root AFTER flashing your custom rom if you want one. (You do need an unlocked bootloader for those things though.)

[@ranawaqashaider]

I have question unrelated to the this video but I think you would have known it. How can We upgrade system apps with mismatched signature without root?

[@JoseRodriguez-fm2bm]

Hows the battery life with all these modules and tweaks?

[@boudywho]

actually none of those modules/apps drain much battery (maybe doesn't drain battery at all) since these apps don't even run in the background, it does it's modifications in the system, and it already there done in system, so basically no drain

[@shoryuguten]

i'd love to do it but i'm afrai my banking apps might stop working.

[@Chilluchillgoza]

I don't want any customization and anything at all ... but can use it normally (rooted phone ) without any issue?

[@Mrtthemes]

Sam what tags you use in your videos bcos I will these types of videos but they don't show in these type of category 😢

[@username2-l6j]

Why not talk about the cons and also make a video on how to root

[@muhammadhasanarif3330]

There's no official build of Lineage OS for Nokia 5.3

[@drx3716]

Can you make a vid about custom roms and which are the best

[@joren.gonzales]

I want the iOS sounds but its not working on my phone

[@ForagingOnward]

Android never felt like a tool to me. It always felt like a jigsaw puzzle but every piece is painted the wrong color. You’re told to make art with it, and really the only thing you can do is repeatedly scramble the pieces until you get tired and just accept the chaos you’re left with. Now after being on iPhone for a few years, I’m beginning to feel the same way about it. These “smartphones” don’t present themselves as tools to get jobs done, they pretend to be “quality of life improvements” and we all know that’s only half true.

[@RKStrider]

Now you're left with another question: Is every piece of the puzzle painted the wrong color, or are you wearing colored glasses?

[@brodamyes]

sad how iconify is not supported for oppo 😔

[@themrjones]

No kernels or overclock underclock?

[@GiacominoPaneEVino]

what Os did you root it with?

[@ЖывеБеларусъ]

Dot os is good for customisation. Just search ROMs for your phone and choose which you like I recommend to use Stable Official versions of ROMs

[@ЖывеБеларусъ]

he's using pixelOS just stock OS with root

[@GiacominoPaneEVino]

@@ЖывеБеларусъ thank you very much man :)
