    Rooting process will break your device’s warranty period. You will not be able to able to claim the company warranty on a rooted device. Rooting an android should be done only by experts . But Android gives you so much than user expects Still dont know why people are crazy for Android rooting . earlier this weekend my Friends screen got blank and when he went to service center , he couldnt get warranty due to the same reason

      There are ways to break pattern lock if USB debugging is enabled. Otherwise, you might want to Factory Reset the smartphone from boot. Which device in question do you wish to unlock?
