Rooting a Device

Rooting a device simply means to unlock your device from all the restrictions that the company or the service provider has put in it. It gives you the power to remove built in programs or apps, customize it to your liking by using roms and custom mods. This can also help in upgrading the battery life of the device by removal of applications that are not needed by you and can’t be removed without rooting because they are in-built.

What is Knox Counter?

Samsung launched this security feature with its Galaxy note 3 and then it has been seen in other devices as well. The Knox counter and Knox components together restrict the root applications to work. The Knox counter can count and record the number of custom installations. The default value of Knox counter is 0. Now flashing any custom recovery into the Samsung device would trip the Knox Counter and you won’t be able to claim warranty on your Samsung device.
