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 YanCommented Jan 1, 2018 at 0:58

@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– ecokjeonbCommented Jan 1, 2018 at 4:52

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