An IT technician is tasked with gaining root access to an Android device for a corporate client, in order to remove pre-installed software and install custom security applications. Which of the following should the technician be most aware of before proceeding with this task?
Root access is only available through third-party applications found on the Google Play Store.
Rooting the device may void the manufacturer's warranty and expose the device to security risks.
The device will automatically receive Android updates faster once it is rooted.
Rooting is only possible on older Android versions (4.4 KitKat and below).
Rooting an Android device gives the user root-level access, allowing them to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps, and perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. However, this process may void the warranty and potentially expose the device to various security vulnerabilities. It's crucial for a technician to understand these implications and communicate them to the client before proceeding.
