The benefits of rooting

For today, the Build ID we want to introduce is KOT49H.G900SKSU1ANCE. We used it for the rooting, but you can choose other Build IDs for your phone. The today’s tool we opted for is SRSRoot. We chose this method because it’s not hard to install it on the handset. Second advantage of this software: it can be used on whatever gadget you use. Moreover, you’ll be able to use it no matter what Android version your smartphone’s sporting. And you will be delivered admin and then superuser permission.

In case you plan on unrooting your device, this software can be used to have the phone stripped of its root access.

To guarantee a smooth procedure, you must use the Samsung SM-G900. If you apply the SRSRoot on another phone, you will brick it. If you know this, let’s see what cons there are to gaining root access. You’ll lose the warranty first, then root access if you go for an upgrade to another Android version. In order to get the latter, your phone will lose its system partition, too. These will be left as they are: the internal and external SD cards. The important data you keep on your smartphone won’t be damaged because of an update.Galaxy-S5-SM-G900
