Q:

Getting into root mode via an App for a device that is not rooted

I'm trying to read the MSR information from an android device with userDebug build , and it requires root permission. I have tried adding :process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su"); and when i debugged the program ,the variable process is getting initialized with NULL. And I have made some function call to read the MSR value by specifying its path /dev/msr*,and when i run the program the log window shows Permission denied. So is there any way to get into root permission via an app without having a rooted android device?

By definition, no.
