>it bricked
What a surprise!

>>58206744
If you buy a phone that can't be rooter through just typing: fastboot oem unlock in the bootloader and then flashing a custom recovery, then SuperSU or your favorite SU manager you're a cuck.

>>58206744
What is sudo?

$ sudo command

Don't believe this guy >>58206751, he's trolling.

A colleague of mine is convinced that his old HTC phone died because he rooted it. He said the phone actually threw some sparks and never turned on again. I tried explaining to him that it was probably a faulty phone or a damaged cable, but still he insisted that it was because he tried to root it.

>>58206942
I'm not OP, just commenting.

Why do phone manufacturers make it hard to root your phone?
I can't root my LG K8. Not even with chinkware apps.

>>58206744
>being scared of your own phone

>>58206744
Scared of what?

>>58206983
They like making you use the pre-installed bloat because they get money from the people who make the bloat when you use it.

I don't have any phone, so I wanna know does Android gave you the same freedom (such as full control over your phone, etc) as Linux does?

phonefags are cancer, real technology has buttons

one of you faggots needs to make a facebook group or a subreddit and take your phone bullshit over there

>>58207088
There's a lot of shit built on top of it, but if you have root you can access the bare Linux kernel, run a chrooted distro and poke around some of the hardware.

Normies, I tell ya.

>>58207119
My phone has power and volume buttons.

>>58206850
It's not bricked. It's stuck on recovery. Find out how to reboot into bootloader, from there try to reboot into system.

>>58206744
If you're not a retard you won't brick it. If you soft bricked it, flashing stock firmware is easy.

>>58206744
Don't use SuperSU then. Or get rid of it as soon as possible. And why?

Isn't there Arch-meme-like equivalent to this shit?

>>58206744
I rooted my Pixel XL, boot looped it, then reflashed the OS and rooted a older build without issue. They key is following the directions and not trying to fudge it if it's not exact.

>>58207254
>Acquiring administrator privileges on a device you own
>hacking
Pls go, also there are binary blobs and other garbage typical of commercial software so you can't do everything.

>>58206850
That's not bricked. You just need to flash the OS onto it again. Bricked is it won't turn on anymore.

>>58206781
pretty much this

>>58206744

My first Android smartphone, I rooted the day I got it. My first laptop, I installed Linux the day I got it. Stop being a pussy and read a manual.

>>58206781

>SuperSU
Only reason to use SuperSU is if you absolutely need suhide. Otherwise, it's a proprietary rooting application, which is basically just asking for it.

>>58207197
He probably locked his bootloader or something like a real tard.

My Nexus 6P was ez pz. Had to unroot though to play Pokémon Go. Still pissed that they did that.

>>58207347
what's a good free as in freedom SU app? the ones i found on fdroid were kinda dead.

I wish the fucking botnet nigger would just give users the option of enabling root (they could hide it in the developer options to prevent tech illiterate people from accidentally enabling it) so we wouldn't have to resort to using chink botnet shit.

>>58207370

PHH's SuperUser

>>58207508
I stopped playing also but then DNS66 came out. Figured at least I can still block ads.

>>58206744
Don't listen to the retards I've rooted 7 or 8 phones and there is no risk as long as you follow guides.

>>58207821
Weak trolling, I tried to root my phone then the screen started to shit itself, pulled the battery and the phone was no longer booting nor charging

>>58207839
>pulled the battery
You seem to have missed the "retard" part

So wait wtf is king root a yes or no here?
The thread has been sending mixed messages about it.
I just got a new phone and king root seems like way less of an asspain than the usual way of rooting.
Why don't people like it?

>>58208080
A big no

>>58208080
>So wait wtf is king root a yes or no here?
King Root is chinese botnet.

All right so I just rooted my shit phone with king root via .apk.

What the fuck do I do now? Can I uninstall the king root application? Where do I get custom roms?

pls respond I'm fucking braindead

>>58206850
That shit is soft bricked at worst. You can reflash the OS and it'll be good as new.

How do I uninstall this Microsoft bloat ware off my s7,I wasn't really planning to root it

>>58208227
there is package disabler, but rooting is the only way to remove all shit bloat, i have an s7 too.

>>58207012
That and ads.

>>58206744
you should be too scared _not_ to root your phone

>>58208149
guys please help

I don't want to ask /v/ for help

>>58208319
why is /g/ so ass guys

>>58208319
if you dont know what to do, you dont need it. go back to your normal life or research on your own, no one is gonna spoonfeed you.

>>58208279
Package disabler? Never used one before

>>58208478
search for it on the store, the one with the most downloads and specifically says samsung. rooted mine so never used it, but hear it works.

>>58208149
What phone? Look it up on XDA and find a custom ROM. Install Lucky Patcher, AdAway, and other cool rooted tools.

Just get a moto g 3. problem solved
