Hey woody, i was wondering how devs go about trying to get root. I've tried to do some research but the only results i get are explanations of what root is or how to root specific devices. If it's too complicated too explain, then that's cool, but, i'm really interested in the process. Thanks man.

I had asked Woody the same thing as I was interested in possibly putting my own programming knowledge to work.
Ultimately, you are looking for a security flaw in the OS to exploit. It is the same thing virus writers do. You are trying to find a "bug" in the OS that makes it for some reason give elevated privileges to processes that were not supposed to have it, ultimately your user processes. Try reading about how specific root exploits work.

These security flaws are bad and patched quickly because a person with malicious intent could exploit them for bad reasons. They are good for us though because they allow us to get root on unlocked devices. If bootloaders were not locked we would not need to exploit security holes in the OS to gain root access.
