Re: [PLUG] Rooting Phone Experiences

[Rohit Mehta <ro@paper-mill.com>]

Have no experience with this phone, but I've been happy with my rooted devices for years.  I'd be very careful and make sure you are not downloading and running strange binaries off the Internet from untrusted sources ;-)

I would like to root my android phone.  It's a Motorola Moto X Pure, which
Motorola officially supports rooting.

However, their web page has all kinds of scary warnings about rooting, and
I definitely cannot afford to brick this device.  It seems like this is a
fairly simple process, but the cost of being wrong is potentially very high
(non-working $400 phone).  Before I proceed, I wanted to see how other
people (who are braver and smarter, but not as good-looking as me) have
fared rooting their phones.

Has anyone on this list had a bad experience rooting their phone?
