Besides advantages, there are many disadvantages and threats also,while rooting your device.

Disadvantages of rooting

• Warranty: Rooting will void your warranty. Once you rooted, the care centre will not help you even if you have that warranty slip too. You will be the owner of the device and not the company.
• Fear of Bricking: If you are done something wrong, you may brick your phone. A bricked phone is of no use.
• Security: As you are opening all the security passes, it means you are opening the gate for all those malwares and viruses that may attack your operating system. So you should have a good antivirus to secure your phone.
• While the rooting process, do not interrupt it else you may brick your phone.
• Unsupported services: You may not be able to use some services that are not allowed on a rooted phone. Example, google refuses to support the google wallet service for rooted devices.
