Should I Root My OnePlus One?

[Dr. Moose]

Hi, I'm not very familiar to the world of rooting and flashing, but I realllly want CM12 for my OPO. Are there any downsides to rooting and flashing?

no real downsides apart from a possible voided warranty.

Isn't it already rooted? Wasn't that the point of the phone?

Isn't it already rooted? I thought it would be with Cyanogen OS on it....

 

Well, root it then!

Luckily OnePlus won't void warranty for rooting, so other than that will I loose performance of any sort?

It isn't rooted, it's made to be easy to root and your warranty won't be voided if you do. It just comes with Cyanogenmod out of the box.

No, It won't affect performance unless you tell it to through a root-required app.

It's worth rooting it I  use a rooted oneplus one with Alpha lollipop
