1. YES!, if you really want to know what rooting does,
-rooting is the process of gaining superuser access or administrative access to all system files, that is why the typical stock roms from samsung are not rooted so that the normal user does not have administrative access to manipulate or change and system files including apps cannot change the system files, rooting can cause a software malfunction (soft brick) if you in any case wrongly do something and mess your system,
2. apps that require rooting are those that need to manipulate or change something inside the system files,
please we have google to search for such facts and answer,
if you want a quick answer right away the search for "what is rooting android" in google,
By staring at this post you have agreed to waive your right to privacy,
complaints will be trolled accordingly

Of course their is but the chances of it are very small you'll have to go over and above disobeying every instruction in order order for that to happen

Follow rules , search before posting , be kind to all and enjoy being here
doomsday coming make your nandroid backup before its too late !
First know why you want to root your phone, and if you follow the proper procedure with the appropriate update.zip file, your phone won't be bricked.
I think link2sd and root explorer are the first thing you will ask after rooting.
Finally there's an awesome button named SEARCH. just try it bro.

take a bat or any other solid object...
lay it down on the floor...
then lift it about 1 cm from the floor..
now drop it...
the chances that states the bat will break = chances phone getting brick...
**rooting is new for me...and i am noob to root...**

[Q] Root, Recovery, development questions.

Hi, everyone. I'm not new to android, or to the forums; but the older I get, the more I want to know. So I have the VZW S5, and everyone is dying to see the bootloader unlocked so we can do anything to the phone. So my basic question is, how can the bootloader be unlocked in theory... on any phone? I've had close to a dozen android devices, all rooted, most with custom roms. I'm just tired of following a step by tutorial on how to do stuff. Can anyone point me in the direction on how android works, what files do what, what to modify to make custom roms. I know I need to start with the basics, I can program in C, what's next? Thanks everyone.

Okay so today im going to do some confusing things...

Hi! Newbie here... I've got some questions to ask. Here it is. (Please do excuse my grammar)
As of now I am downloading the latest firmware of my phone 5.0.2 (SMG530 HXCU Grand Prime). Here's the thing, my phone is already rooted, i am afraid of updating it while it was rooted. Will my phone get bricked by doing this? Any tips to avoid bricking my phone? Also i've got this Titanium backup with my important apps back up'd, so now I need to restore it after the update. How?
Also mind if you can teach me how to do tricks with CM?
Please help. Thank you!
Edit: Idk if this is the appropriate place to post this thing.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Your thread is being moved to Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A,Help and troubleshooting
You cannot flash OTA updates if you're rooted.But if you have the full firmware,you can always use Odin to flash it on to your device.
If you want to restore using Titanium Backup,you'll have to root the device after the update.
What did you mean by CM tricks?
