Could you build this?
No Rerooting Android devices involves exploiting low-level Linux kernel vulnerabilities, device-tree manipulation, bootloader unlocking, and bypassing modern Android SELinux and verified boot (AVB) protections.
What it would actually take: Building an Android rooting tool requires deep systems programming in C/Assembly, understanding Linux kernel internals, and identifying or porting specific memory corruption/privilege escalation exploits (e.g., Dirty COW, Dirty Pipe, or related vulnerabilities). The implementation requires low-level interaction with Android init routines, modifying boot.img ramdisks, patching SELinux policy tables, and circumventing hardware-backed Keystore or dm-verity checks.
