[sclug] Rooting my Android phone

[Ms. C. Black]

I have the Galaxy S1 not never rooted it. If you root it are you not
opening yourself to security threats? Like in a Linux, you don't use the
root account for day to day things - so wouldn't android work in the same
way? I aware they are times when an android need to be rooted for certain
things.

Be careful, I heard people bricking phones by rooting them.
