Rooting an android phone is something most users are used to and one of the best apps for rooting android, is Kingroot.
Kingroot has been in the rooting business for quite a really long time now. We have a few tutorials on this blog that even shares how to root various android devices using the application.
For those who do not know, rooting entails bypassing security and granting root privilege to the end-user. When an android device gets rooted, there’s a lot more you can do. You can customize the device even to the root level. You can use different rooting apps as well as uninstall stock apps and more.
However, this comes with a price – A bridge of security.
There are a few reasons as to why you should consider uninstall kingroot on your android phone and we will be looking at some.
Reasons To Uninstall Kingroot From Android
1. Rooting Voids Warranty
Most OEMs often mention that rooting voids warranty and as such, if the device gets bad within the warranty stage, you won’t be able to get the device fixed because it has been rooted.
The solution to this however, would be unrooting the android phone, and thereafter uninstalling the kingroot application. At this point, you want to make sure you not only uninstall kingroot app, but also remove root privilege.
2. Bricks Phone
We’ve talked about this in a few articles already shared here. As much as rooting can be fun, if there is no special reason for you to root your android device, then you probably shouldn’t.
We’ve seen a few causes where rooting the phone bricks the phone. How? Although rooting goes successfully and doesn’t really affect the phone. But, when a software update becomes available and you choose to update, it could brick the phone. We’ve seen this play out a few times. Although fixing the bricked phone is doable, it’s another long process and you most likely will lose all your files in the process.
3. Bridges Security
The way rooting apps works is, they look for lapses on your device, they look for loopholes and thus, root the phone through that process. These loopholes are being patched from time to time courtesy of android updates and that’s why people’s devices get bricked when they try updating.
Knowing these rooting apps look for loopholes and your phone could get bricked during the course of updating, you are left with the option of not updating. By so doing, your phone isn’t getting updates that patch security.
Of course, there are other reasons to as why rooting isn’t advised. But again, there are benefits to rooting. As earlier mentioned, except the need is super important, you should stay off rooting.
