Rooting

[Guest netdudeuk]

Hi

When an Android phone is rooted, is this done by exploiting a security loophole in the phone, such as, for example, sending specially crafted data to it to cause remote code execution ? Once the rooting has been done, I take it that 'alien' code is left on the phone for it to remain rooted ?

Thanks
