Do I root my phone before or after I'm a developer?

[AC Question]

I would like to root my phone, but not sure if I should become a developer first.

You'll need to enable developer options to enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking. I suggest reading up on rooting and heading over to the XDA section for rooting your specific phone. You need to understand the pros and cons of rooting.
