Should you need to Root your Samsung Galaxy M31 SM-M315F Android 11 version with Sky Hawk Recovery?

It would be best if you had a strong reason for rooting. Samsung Galaxy M31 already comes with One UI 3.1 based on Android 11 and is already optimized. You have More than Enough 6-8 GB RAM to use daily apps without lag for years. Yes, I Know; RAM maybe look like not enough because of the Samsung Heavily customized OS. But, Trust me, One UI is far better than other Custom Skin OS. You can use this device without lag for years until Samsung mess with some Bloatware. But beyond, this not go reasons you are addicted to some root apps, or you are a frequent user of some Custom OS, you can proceed further. But if you want to root because everybody is doing it, I advise you, don’t root If you don’t have any experience. For regular users, It can become a Nightmare.

What More?

In my opinion, you don’t need to root and install Sky Hawk Recovery on your Samsung Galaxy M31 Android 11 version. If you thought you could Improve Performance By Root; With the Exynos 9611 Octa-Core processor and 6-8 GB RAM. If you don’t know how much RAM you need, You will never use this much RAM. It would be best to not Boot into Normal OS Booting by pressing the power button after firmware flash, and it will boot you to a Non-Rooted environment. So, you should pay attention to the first recovery boot step.

If you root your device because of the battery drain issues, you can optimize your battery without root. Beyond this, if your purpose is to Disable Bloatware apps, you can do that without using this method. This method uses TWRP and Sky Hawk custom recovery, and thus you can install Custom ROMs. If you have any suggestions or doubts, comment below.
