Let’s go back to the days of rooting Android phones for a different purpose, some of us have rooted our Android device to change IMEI for internet tweaking on our Android device.
And some of us have rooted our Android device for Rom changing purpose. But days have passed and most internet tweaks don’t work and developers barely make Roms for Android, and that has seen the rate at which Android rooting has reduced drastically.
But in this new decade, people still root and while some devices are not available to be rooted, I can tell you there are some Android devices you can root, and in this article, I”ll be listing out the best Android devices you can root and do some Rom tweaking on it.
