ABSTRACT
Android is one of the most famous open source Operating System. Due to their nature of wide customization they have gained their popularity. This customization was taken a step further by gaining the root access to the device super user privilege, by rooting. Rooting is basically getting access into the phone's firmware exploiting the vulnerability, by giving the user with full control of the device hardware which is not generally provided by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). This paper emphasis on detail analysis of traditional exploitation techniques used to gain access as the super user to the system and also the difficulties that are faced with the current upgrade the OEM's provide. Also this paper proposes a solution on how to bypass the new stringent measures out forward by the OEM, so the users can stick on to their ecosystem.
