Question about rooting for a legal reason

[DarklordKyo]

I was thinking of getting myself an NES30 Pro Bluetooth controller for my tablet, and I was thinking of rooting it for the sole purpose of the controller's "assign buttons to touchscreen" function. The thing is, I don't want to risk breaking the tablet during the root. While I hear Kingroot is the best, ans safest, way to do so, I still don't know if I want to risk it. If anyone's ever used Kingroot, is there any chance of my tablet bricking because of it? (it's an HP 10 G2 tablet, BTW).

TL;DR I want to root HP 10 G2 Android Tablet solely to use a function of a wireless controller. Would Kingroot potentially brick it?

This turned out to be a lot less sexual than the title suggested.

Also, I dunno OP. Try in the tech help section of the Help and Advice forum?

Where's the legal part of the question? All I see is a technical question about Android rooting.

I'm not an expert on this, but I've rooted my phone before and have done various modifications like flashing roms and changing the kernel. The bottom line is, if you want to be 100% safe don't mess with your device. I haven't used Kingroot and can't vouch for its safety.

However, I have never encountered any problems whilst rooting my phone and many others do it. It depends on your device, but as long as you follow instructions and use a reliable method it should be fine.

Edit: It seems your device is quite new. I would wait and see if someone else decides to come up with a way to root your specific device before trying to use Kingroot, which seems to be rely on some workaround.

It's unlikely that rooting will brick your phone on its own. It will increase the risk of something else bricking your phone and decrease the level of security. Rooting will also invalidate any warranty or guarantee. To me it looks like a silly risk to take for such small thing as mapping buttons.

The legal part is me pointing out that my reasoning for doing so is a perfectly legal reason.

I tend to not get many results in the advice forum. Plus, this kinda falls under off topic discussions.

Well, not every game has support for Android HID or iCade.

When it comes to rooting a device, there is always a chance of something going wrong and bricking your device.

Spoiler: You've got yourself a question to ask if you still want to root it.

The legal part is me pointing out that my reasoning for doing so is a perfectly legal reason.

That'd be the natural assumption, it being for a legal reason I mean. There are assloads of reasons why you'd want to root your device and most of them indeed fall under the totally legal category. Your device, your business what you do with it.
