Help Root Access Without Root

I'm currently trying to figure out a way to access root functions and files without actually rooting my tablet. Part of the reason I want this is because rooting it will void my system's warranty. Is there any way to bypass that requirement? And if not, is it possible that someone could create an app that does this?
 
Theres no real way to do this, but there is a way to unroot and make it so that any customizing has been cleared so that the warranty is still good. No app will grant root access without being rooted, not even adb. As far as I know that is.
 
Some devices have "temporary root" hacks available - a hack that gives root access until the next reboot (though if you use it to modify your system then in principle the warranty might still be void). If yours is one of those devices, and running the right software version (since exploits like this are often closed by updates) then that would give you what you want.

This is a minority of devices though.
