Root-Friendly Android
Root-Friendly Android
Buy Root-Friendly. Put your money where the root is.
When you buy root-unfriendly Android devices, you are far more likely to lose root after updates. Stick to the Root-Friendly devices and you'll be safe.
This list only ranks phones based on their permanent rootability: the ability to root a phone and replace the boot and system images, and not by any other standard. A phone may be easily rootable, but might have other flaws that make it a poor device.
Important: phones may change from one category to another when manufacturers and carriers release updates. The phones listed under “Root-Friendly” are likely safe indefinitely, but there is no guarantee that others will be rootable forever. Do your own research before buying and let us know if things change.
