Since it's now possible to root with a developer kernel I was wondering if it would be possible to use that to reboot to a modified stock modified kernel.
One example is how the Xbox 360 hacks work. The bootloaders are signed so you can't load a modified hypervisor and kernel. So the way it was achieved was by using a hypervisor exploit to go back and load a modified bootloader with the signature checks removed and then soft rebooting into the entry point and then booting from there which made it so a modified hypervisor and kernel could be used. I contributed and wrote a few patches for that.
I'm not too familiar with the android boot process or how the root actually works I was wondering if there were any specifics about how it works.
If achieved it would be possible to use the development root to load a stock kernel that's modified and has root. So it would solve issues like battery and heat issues.
Thank you
