Admin permission will come afterwards, too. Battery tweaks will join in, too. The rooting won’t allow security problems to come next to your smartphone. Bloatware will stay away from it, too.

That said, you won’t go through this rooting without issues. If you have root access and you want to also go for an upgrade, prepare for some consequences. They will affect the phone’s system partition by deleting it. The root access will then be revoked. These are fortunately the only negative points. The important data will still be there once the rooting is done. So will the handset’s internal and external SD cards.
