Rooting an Android smartphone or jailbreaking an iOS device—which grants the user full administrative root access to modify operating system files—is generally legal under copyright exemption provisions in many jurisdictions, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the United States. However, rooting your device typically voids the manufacturer's hardware warranty, can compromise device security features, and may violate terms of service agreements with certain mobile network carriers or banking applications.
