Amusingly enough, being able (or not being able) to gain root access to my own devices is one of the main reasons I can't address or verify their security - especially as official support is dropped over time. Modern phones and other appliances have (or are) computers to which it is nigh impossible to operate as root. You might say you have to pwn them even if you supposedly own them ;)
