Root is, without a doubt, the
(un)holy grail of the Android
world. Those wonderful
permissions that allow you as the
user to pretty much do as you
please with your device are
certainly a major delight, and
really one of the top reasons why
Android devices have gained as
much popularity as they have–
not just among end users but
among developers as well. There
is yet another aspect of the OS
that keeps people coming back
for more, and that is the fresh,
constant stream of updates and
new OS versions. However, these
two can hardly coexist with one
another. Normally, whenever a
new update for … well… anything
comes out, it does so with
features, bug fixes, and plugged
holes. The latter are the ones that
are normally required to obtain
things such as root level access
on our devices. This means that if
you update, for the most part,
you can kiss root goodbye.
Granted, there are apps that will
help root survive even an OTA
upgrade but still companies
making these OS and devices
always are on the look out to
ensure that the holes and
exploits are plugged.
The latest and greatest
installment of our beloved
Android OS is Lollipop (Android
5), which is something that has
been on pretty much everyone’s
mouth in the tech world for the
last week or so as it became
available in the latest and most
functional Developer Preview.
The latest Lollipop installment is
build version LPX13D, and aside
from being one step closer to the
final release, this one also brings
the kiss of death for root, which
pretty much is the case with all
updates as we mentioned earlier.
