What is your purpose for rooting your phone?

Is your phone obsolete so that you do not mind turning it into a brick?

+1 for Jackie's comment.

Once you root your phone, you've violated the TOS you agreed to.

You'll almost surely be caught + your phone "Bricked" (become unbootable/unusable).

Jackie man,

Why do people root their phone? The whole idea of "ROOTING" is that giving a person the ability to uninstall apps that comes with the phone that ordinarily I am not able to uninstall and be able to store additional apps on the SD card instead of using the internal storage memory which does not have a large capacity.

"Is your phone obsolete so that you do not mind turning it into a brick?"
Whether it is obsolete or not it is irrelevant and that really depends on one's own interpretation. If it still works that's all that matters. I do realize that Samsung no longer makes these models and I do realize that these phones do not support 3G in 02/2022. But my main reason to use the phones just for media purpose only not for talking.
Also, what do you mean turning it into a brick?

Thank you,

David,

"You'll almost surely be caught + your phone "Bricked" (become unbootable/unusable)."

I was not aware that it was a crime to ROOT your phone. I was told by Samsung that ROOTING will only void any warranty on the phone. But since the warranty is already expired then it should not be a problem. As far as the unbootable or being unusable I also did not know that. A lot of third party apps on line they never mention these side effects. They are FREE so I am not sure why do they lie about the harm that can result as a consequence of ROOTING.
