How can I turn a physical device (specifically this) into a virtual machine for use on a computer?

I am doing this so I can safely attempt to root my device without bricking the physical one

It should be obvious, but the device is not rooted

  • "It should be obvious" - how? Phones are using ARM SoCs; PCs have x86/x64 CPUs. Existing Android emulators don't run images ripped from phones, they have dedicated x86/x64 system images compiled explicitly for them. – Andy Yan Jan 01 '18 at 00:58
  • @AndyYan Sorry I was not clear. I meant it should be obvious that the device is not rooted, not that the answer to my problem is obvious – ecokjeonb Jan 01 '18 at 04:52

Not possible. Rooting is highly hardware-dependent operation and it cannot be done virtually outside the device
