.99 maximum score

[GREEKLEADER]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name:Rog 3 16/512
Firmware Version:.99
Rooted or not:Not
Frequency of Occurrence:Once
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):Antutu
Well,these were the max results of my device from the last update,it can't get to more than that,optimized to the max, temperatures started from 12 on the Antutu test but 7 on the html 5 test
Is that score normal,did I damage it from heating or overclocking the chip on every single game every day?
Did the temperature up and downs that I performed with my window harm it's copper cooling or battery or processor?
Or is it just the silicon lottery
Worth to mention it was 649 k when I first bought it and the temperature was 17 I think
Any mod if they could solve my queries I would be thankful

Well,share the root then haha,no but seriously if you can give me a tutorial to root the phone without losing data or compromising it's functionality,I would gladly try it,and of course on a pm as it isn't allowed here I think

The dude cannot give you that guide, because that is exactly what will happen. I could Root, install custom ROM and Kernel, lose fingerprint, lose face unlock, lose warranty.....but great irrelevant benchmark score. My point is, once rooted, you have no idea what has been done to achieve any score in a benchmark, hence the warning.

I am running stock rom, however modified kernel and modded system, also my performance in actual gaming is also improved. That being said you nailed it, i cannot simply shove out a rooting guide because root itself doesnt improve anything, its root in combination with modding that achieves better performance.

There is no definitive guide available but XDA will have answers to most of the questions. If you are not aware of how unlocking, rooting, flashing, partitioning etc. works you can avoid that path. The out of box stock firmware is much optimised on ROG 3. You will like a working device rather than having a paperweight. 🙂 just saying, if you can take the risk nobody's stopping.

I guess so? When I said share the root I meant kingroot or magisk for example,not that I don't know
I once almost bricked a 3 year old Samsung A3 so I downloaded a different rom and worked
Still I won't take the risk for now at least,but if you happen to find a non risk guide on the XDA forum or such,do share that link with me so I can check it out

Not sure if any YouTube video or XDA guide have this but below should be basic steps for most of android devices:
1. Unlock bootloader
For this prerequisites would be to have all drivers and adb/fastboot tools installed on your pc. This step will wipe the data. Warrenty will be void.
Tool available on support page here. Other OEMs might have a dedicated tool based on device.
ROG Phone 3 | Gaming Phones｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global2. After unlock install custom recovery (twrp, as it's stable)
You can find it on XDA. This should be fairly simple using fastboot and adb commands.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-official-twrp-for-asus-rog-phone-3.4158949/
3. Flash magisk to root via twrp.
Above are the basic steps, you can have a read on specific topics beforehand if something might go wrong in any step.
Always take a backup before doing anything. Once you are done you are on your own after that. If you mess up any steps you can have a soft bricked and if unlucky hard bricked device. You can come out these issues as well with stock firmware, but if you somehow mess up partitions, there is no coming back. Thats all to know.
