I used to use samsung before my p20 pro.
I did root my phone, and removed some unwanted system applications.
So, i did have a better battery life.

But, now, i have p20 pro.
I have 161 firmware on my phone.
I would like to unlock bootloader and root my phone..

But, they say that structure in huawei, is not same with samsung.
And it is not good to root system and remove system applications.
Phone becomes very unstable. And useless.
Do you agree?

If not, what is the benefits of rooting p20 pro then?

Thanks...

I dont know about your first question i want some answer too. But i do know the advantages of rooting could be , like Netcut to cut devices from your network, or lucky patcher, or even modify your kernel. Plus if you talk above about the BL then the advantage is to flash a custom rom for example. I think there are not many custom roms for Huawei devices. I had s8 and s9+ and movedw to Huawei because i love to change phones and wanted to see those three cameras.

You will have to have an unlocked bootloader first and to do so you'll now need to pay for a service as Huawei don't provide unlock codes anymore. The benefits are all the same with rooting any android device, it just boils down to what you need it for. I'm currently on the ".163" firmware and have root, but that being said I unlocked my bootloader back when Huawei provided codes. It's really just if you REALLY need root.

Thank you very much for your answers.
There will be no problem if delete some applications after rooting?
I heard that deleting system applications would cause unstable system in huawei.
It's structure is different from samsung.

You can uninstall anything without root just by using adb. Even system apps

samsung and huawei phones are the same, in that if you remove the "wrong" app, it can make your phone unstable. some apps can very safely be uninstalled, while other apps (from samsung, huawei, or google or other vendor) will may constantly show force closed or error messages. a hard reset always takes care of the problem though
