Question Is it worth rooting?

[Tristan17]

So I will lose warranty in June, and require my phone to be rooted for a few reasons however, I just wanted to know is it likely that the screen could die like others mentioned? and will Samsung repair screen if it's rooted? Also how would I root it? Also could Google Pay work?

I Need root access since I live in a bad reception area and want to use Auto airplane toggle as it would save battery life and other mods.

Anyways, Sorry for bombarding people with questions

If your warranty is done by June, and you root the device after your warranty period, then it doesn't matter if you have a dead screen. You will still have to pay to get it replaced. In case you root before that, you will lose all functions related to Knox.

Thanks. Are dead screens common issue?

Rooting is also in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-for-galaxy-s21-series-b-n-0-u-u1-w.4233567/

Btw I am also considering rooting, I just don't know if it is worth it, if there are some good mods that requires the phone to be rooted.

i'd root too if there is a way to revert Knox, if only to optimize them google apps under naptime, in particular, and squeeze out more batt juice, in general. but, sadly, no...

I finally rooted my phone!!!

Just one thing, How will I update my phone for future updates (like one up 4.1)?

You will need to download the latest release for your model from Sam firmware and flash it on your phone.

You cant use the system OTA updates anymore. Use ODIN with Home_CSC to update monthly firmware.
