I see many hacking programs for Android, i just saw 1 program but it say "for rooted devices only", now my question is, is there ANY way to install/run this app on not rooted android phones?
-
No, just root the thingy.
-
yea but i will loose warranty, phone can be slow etc...... if i root it can i somehow return him to "factory settings" like unrooted -> rooted -> unrooted?
-
second question should be in it's own thread. To your first question - there is none. "hacking" programs require resources beyond the regular user, therefore the phone has to be rooted.
To your second question: yes you can. Phone does not get slow with root.

root >> unroot is not always possible... many htc phones cannot be rooted>>unrooted (without leaving evidence), the company makes sure of that.
sure, you can root and unroot but doing that without leaving evidence is not always possible.
but many phones can be rooted and unrooted for warranty purpose, you should check it out on the net.
rooting does not slow the phone, but installing an application with superuser access and malicious purpose can do that.

why do you need warranty anyway

here are two main disadvantages to rooting and Android phone;
Rooting immediately voids your phone's warranty-Once rooted, don't try to bring your phone back for service or warranty work. You are on your own!
Rooting involves the risk of "bricking" your phone-In essence, a "bricked" phone is no better than carrying around a brick in your pocket. The phone is dead when it has been "bricked."
Other potential disadvantages, though less severe, are still worthy of consideration;
Poor performance-Though the intention of "rooting" a phone is to give the phone more performance, several users have found that, in their attempts to speed up the phone or add additional features, that their phones lost both performance speed and features. Remember that when you "root" your Android phone, you are making changes to the stock operating system.
