      Do I loose data in the process? I’m taking full backups but not so sure if the backups will actually bring my phone back. One in particular is interesting, the 2 factor authentication app. If I root my phone and that thing is somehow changed, will I loose 2FA?

        • no
        • why aren’t you checking your backups??
        • no.
          • banking apps sometimes don’t play nice with rooted phones, but you can always sandbox them to make them think the phone isn’t rooted.
