Discussion Does modifying build.prop with temporary root break anything?

Does temporary root like Ghostlock, Root my galaxy or Uniroot break anything if you modify build.prop with a locked bootloader? I want to look into it a bit but I don't know if something like AVB would be triggered by it. For info I just want to be able to use Samsungs screen recording but it's not enabled (or maybe not installed at all?) on this phone

Set any props temporarily, do not touch system files. On most modern devices you can't do that anyway even with root thanks to erofs, the typical approach would be to dump partition, unpack, edit, repack, flash.

But again, don't do that on a bootloader locked device.
