Someone needs to use a different smartphone. There is enough to install the application, but many are also demanding more. Want more features and perform more personal customization by modding, be it on Android and iOS.
To open the restrictions that Apple and Google on their mobile operating system, users have to jailbreak iPhone and Android users perform root.
However, the two methods of modding is not the same. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here is a full description, about the difference between jailbreak and root.
Root Vs Jailbreak
Definition Jailbreak and Root
Jailbreak and actually almost the same root. Both methods modding is tasked to remove restrictions and gives you access to the protected files in the operating system. Once you get access to these files, you can change or add to it, so that you are more functional smartphone.
Well, to root or jailbreak the proverbial create an account "Administrator" so you have almost all the rights that can be done by the user, as well as modify the file system, installing unauthorized applications, and others that can not be done by ordinary users.
Keep in mind, do a root and jailbreak will scorch your smartphone warranty and risk damaging the device. Moreover, the security of the operating system are also more susceptible.
Differences Jailbreak and Root

Probably most people think the difference between them is only limited types of devices only. Often people mispronounce or swap the two terms. But technically rooting and jailbreak process is completely different.
Root made to obtain higher control (known as the "root access"). This process will provide more flexibility (or privileges) to replace the system applications and settings, run specialized applications that require administrator permissions, or perform other operations that can not be done by ordinary Android user.
Meanwhile, the jailbreak is done to pass some kind of prohibition made by Apple for users, including changing the operating system, installing applications that are not officially recognized by Apple through an unusual installation, and provide higher access privileges to users.
After all, iOS is a closed operating system, a message written in a secret code, without the key to helping you how to understand it. This means making changes to the code that is somewhat difficult, even if you have access to it.
While Android is open-source OS, where almost every aspect of the operating system freely available. This means that developers have fewer constraints when making changes after the root.
Do jailbreak and root dangerous? blogosmile not, it can be stated whether the jailbreak on your iOS device and perform root on an Android device is dangerous or not. Clearly, jailbreak and root it was risky.
Smartphones are already jailbreak or root may be likely to have some problems such as the level of stability, increased battery consumption, slower performance, or reboot for no apparent reason. The emergence of these problems varies, depending on tweaks and apps that you install.
Conclusion
Another factor to consider here is the updated firmware. A jailbroken iPhone can still receive automatic system updates, although this will remove the jailbreak status and a new jailbreak method usually takes several months.
On the other hand, Android devices that are rooted not be automatically updated, so you have to manually upgrade the firmware. This process will remove root access. But the new root method will generally be out within a week or two.
What do you think? Still it necessary to root or jailbreak in modern smartphone today?
