Do you get banned for rooting your android phone? I thought android

It also voids your warranty.
It's basically punishment for being a bad goy because now you can install any rom you want and block ads and other shit.

banned? what do you mean?

if you mean void warranty, then yes, >>57871077 this is right

it is basically like jailbreaking iOS, only not as unstable as a jailbroken iphone. you're free when you do that.

however, i don't really see the point of doing this though. why not just buy a thinkpad, maybe x220 or t420 model? i really do think its stupid that people will struggle to make something work in a way it isn't designed to, when you have an easy solution in your hands

I only root my phone so I can get adaway to work.
Blocking ads is extremely important for me, I haven't seen them in so long I can no longer watch TV or listen to the radio or even read print media because I'm suddenly reminded that this is normal and it's normal to be pelted with thousands of sales pitches a day.

I know it voids warranty, I just thought they'd make your phone unusable or some shit
also why thinkpad? I have a GT70 already
btw my chinese browser automatically blocks all the ads

No. 4chan doesn't ban you for rooting your Android phone.

>I thought android was supposed to be the opposite of apple and represents freedom of information
Android is just the slightly lesser evil.

do I have to make another thread or can I jump on op's thread and ask on here?

I have a samsung media player 2 or 3.

I want to upgrade it and then root it.but dont know how but I dont know if im not looking hard enough but look through videos on youtube, looks like for new age devices.
I already rooted my phone to try.
