XxgtakillsxX wrote Hi,

First, moderators, pardon me of I put this in the wrong forum.

So I used to not own a nice phone, and I owned a Apple Ipod touch 4G, and I jail broke it. And for Christmas and I want to know, what is rooting? I own a Galaxy S5 and I kinda want to root it.
So my question is,
What is rooting? is it the same as jailbreaking?
is it worth it?

Thanks very much!


They are basically the same thing, although in my opinion rooting is more difficult to accomplish. I have an iPhone 6 and i love it. switched from a galaxy note 4.

LOL dude, rooting a android is x100000000 MORE EASIER THAN A IPHONE

Not that I'm aware of. You have obviously never had an iDevice... For apple you download a single program, plug in your device, press jailbreak. And every jailbreak program covers a large variety of iOS firmwares and devices. Whereas on android there's more android device than apple, therefore there's different programs that you could get mixed up with if you aren't experienced with android.

Ive been jailbreaking Ipods and iphones since the 2nd generation. Yah you need 1 program, and then you have to hold the power button and etc...its annnoying for iphone. for android there are a few programs you use and all you do is press 1 button on the pc and your android is rooted, takes less than 5 minutes! EXCEPT with the new devices it takes a little bit longer. trust me, i find it way easier with a android now than iphone

I hope you are aware that you no longer have to put your phone in DFU mode... That was taken out ever since around iOS6 and up.

Yeah, no problem. It was very tedious at some times back on the 2nd gen iPod. But now it's just a press of a button.

Well personally I think androids have more to offer when being rooted, but apple seems simpler in my opinion.
