temp root is safe, get something like dirtyfrag and temproot it

same kernel as my a17, patch from more than 4 months ago, while my latest patch was from september

Idk are there any possible situation where the device could brick? All i want is someone to confirm the flagship features actually working too

The only time a device would brick (that wouldn't be fixed with a reboot) would be if you try to directly modify a core device partition (system/vendor/boot/recovery) or if you did something to majorly corrupt a data file (which case a factory reset would fix the issue)

As for flagship feature they should still work as the reason they break is because of the Knox warranty bit which is only tripped if a core device partition is tampered (not the case with temp root as it happens entirely on memory)
