You talkin to me?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've rooted devices before and I loved everything I could do. I recently got a Galaxy S5 and I've wanted to root it but I've been weary of bricking it. I've researched the risks of it but I just want a personal response - is it worth it to root my phone? Also, what are the chances of bricking my phone?

It is totally worth rooting, and the brick chances are very low if you know and follow rooting videos correct, but then you can get You must login or register to view this content. and let the tool do all the work Smile, since you've rooted before, you should know the advantages of rooting(Custom ROM's,kernels/kernals,mod games,do cool things, overclock CPU). And as far as the bricking rate/chances.... It depends on the video and i would recommend you reading comments to see some solutions to some problem people came across or use You must login or register to view this content.

Not really, Kingo is the only one i use. Try downloading this app called Xmodgames on Playstore, the app requires root and since you don't have it, it will take to a oneclickroot app(or something but its super easy)
