2. Knox. Other than tripping the efuse and voiding the warranty are there any other repercussions?
Anyway, the main thing for me are updates. I would love to root just to get rid of some of the bloatware (and block ads), but not at the expense of losing the ability to update easily.
Anyway, I appreciate an insight on the topic. Thanks!
I have to agree on this.
I would appreciate removing all of the bloatware totally off the phone and recover the space.
But I won't if it trips the fuse and/or prevents OTA updates.
