I have a pc but all i see is tht if i use a pc i have to backup my data becuz its going to get wiped.. i was rooted on 4.4.2 using towelroot no hassle. I really don't want to go thru a drawn out process. Seems i may have to cave in eventually
Rooting alone does NOT wipe your data. Period. If, however, your rooting process involves flashing a custom ROM at the same time, then yes - you will lose everything.
