I have been rooting all my android phone since G1 > G3 Hero > Desire HD > Xperia Play > Note > Note 2 > Note 3.

I flash custom rom very often too.

If you know what to do, you can save plenty of battery and increase very significant performance, not to mention making your phone smarter and prettier, running apps/games that never meant for your phone/processor/country...so much more.

I don't really see much risk. If soft brick can always fix it yourself. If totally cannot boot up, they can't even see knox counter.

sorry new to android. been on ios platform planning to try out Note3, just wonder if we can remove the root thingy before sending to service centre works ?

also no use.... knox will have it registered

Think the prob is HW failure what if your touch screen die etc must go wty.

Not really la
Iphone is the one handicapped without jailbreak
Android still ok
Can install many things without root

 

[noblewolf]

When I got this phone, of course first thing is put a screen protector, second is root and flash a deodexed Custom Rom.

Yes, lets put it this way. If you dont know what root is and why you need it.. Well, the truth is.. You dont need it.

Actually there is a trick..

If you had a hardware breakdown(screen crack or phone dismantled), all you need to do is to brick your software as well.
If you had a software brick, make sure you make it into a full brick.

The service center will not be able to check for counter as a result.
I broke my sony xperia play keypad and samsung note 2 screen, they just give me a new set as a result.

Usually the service people will bluff user faults did you have to pay for it?

The success of Knox will be the end of triangle away. Good luck!
