How dangerous is it to root an android. - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

I was wondering how dangerous it is to root an android. I was thinking about if theres any way to undo a root so it's undetectable. Since I don't want to root my phone then not be able to use my warranty.

You can always unroot setting everything as "outside the factory" and use your warranty.

I should have phrased that better. I'm meant more along the lines of,if my phone fails to boot. Is it still possible to remove any evidence of the root or am I ****ed?

BIG NO
There are certain things in life which are not for everyone. XDA is one of them.
EDIT: Sorry I was thinking about bootloader while saying BIG NO. I goofed up here. :laugh:

I have rooted before on an android with expired warranty so I know how to root. I was just wondering how unsafe it is for your warranty.

Odp: How dangerous is it to root an android.
I rooted my l9 soft bricking it 6 times during the procces i put CWM and non branded software. It worked OK but GPS broke
I needed to make it stock for the waranty repairs so i run LG soft for firmware update and chose emergency software recovery.
After some time i had pure stock l9 ready to ship for service center.
Right now i have rooted l9 (again) with working GPS
So unless you unlock bootloader you can revert to stock and have warranty.

have you rooted and dabbled into Android before? i say this because p769 was the most annoying and troublesome roots i've ever done. if you haven't messed with any Androids yet, i would HIGHLY suggest you just leave it alone until someone comes up with an easier way to do it.

Yeah when I rooted my first Android it was with z4root so I'll just be patient and wait.

You are right, it may be hard to some pals, who have no experience in kdz flashing. But everyone here can do it and are on rooted JB with CWM Touch.
If yan can do you can do too. Try again. :laugh: yan = anyone

the new method looks hard with all the steps but really its pretty simple once you do it once.

Not that dangerous with some phones as the bootloader is locked like my L9 and preferably i like it cause you cant brick it but theres always risks in rooting nothing is ever perfect and nothing can be perfect

Root = giving yourself administrative permissions. Similar to user control or run as admin, administrator access on windows.. except the programs are missing. You just add them, and control what's allowed or not. If you need to reverse, just remove the programs.. Simple.
If you give yourself permission to delete your files or edit the registry. If you don't know what you're doing you may render your OS unbootble or unusable.. same on rooted android..

More dangerous than Steve Irwin swimming with stingrays.... oh... wait...
Seriously tho, it's only as dangerous as your ability to follow instructions.
