I have installed Root Explorer on my HTC G12 phone. When try to view /init.rc
, it shows 'No root privilege' and ask me to root my phone.
It seems Root Explorer didn't run as root (or this process is not added to some group with storage access). And, it seems on a non-rooted device, when the phone boots up, we are logged in as a non-root user.
Where does Android control the log-in user's privilege level? Is it in the init
process?
