This number can be quite interesting (together with the reasons why users root - obviously due to limitations, but which are the main...?!); if somebody roots a phone, even though they lose guarantee by doing so, there must be a reason for it, which indicates that the user might not be entirely satisfied with the stock system or the limitations he gets with it. So imho it is relevant and interesting for vendors.


Its just a research study we are carrying. Certain operations can be
performed on a rooted phone and some of them are security threats.
We would like to quantify certain statements we make.
Also, now that rooting is legal, I expect a rise in the no. of users
who would root their phones.

Ummm, not that I know of. Even if it were there, it would be an
enormous task to update it regularly. Users keep on switching. Even a
small sample of users cannot actually give you the approx numbers.

But, I am wondering how will this number help anyone. :)
