CompTIA A+ 220-1102 (V14) Practice Question

Checking for the presence of superuser access applications on the device is the most direct method to confirm if the mobile device has been rooted or jailbroken. These applications are typically used to manage root permissions and are a clear indicator of such unauthorized modifications. Scanning the device with security software might detect malicious applications but would not directly indicate a root or jailbreak. Resetting to factory settings would remove the issue but also delete all evidence before confirming the root or jailbreak. Reviewing app permissions might show discrepancies but not definitively confirm unauthorized root access.
