Notes / Warning!
- Use at your own risk, I am not responsible for bricking the device.
- Using the wrong file can damage the device.
- If the target device has a custom firmware flash counter, rooting will activate it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
- If you have a KNOX-enabled device, rooting will trigger the VOID status of the KNOX WARRANTY!
- If your device’s memory is encrypted, the root will delete your data!
- If you have bootloader blocked, the root will probably make your device become a brick, except for Nexus devices, which usually “unlock OEM” automatically and delete your data!
- Make sure you back up important data before running root.
