General :: Audit Of Root Exploits And Unofficial Bootloaders

Aug 4, 2013

This is a general question that should be in everyone's mind who might want to root a phone or tablet or any Android or other mobile OS device:

Is this root exploit or bootloader going to be spyware and collect any and all data of mine (login credentials, keylog my every character, account/bank numbers, identity information, use your evil imagination)?

So, I searched this forum for key words like "trust root" "secure root" "security" and found nothing related to this topic.

So, how am I to trust ANY of the root exploits or bootloaders created and posted to this forum for ANY device?

Have any of the developers developed an audit process using firewall rules to ensure that a posted root exploit or bootloader does not attempt to keylog, report captured information to some obscure IP address (thief/hacker's machine of course)?

Do any of these root exploits or bootloaders or custom unofficial builds of entire android (like Cyanogenmod and the 3rd party variants) get Security Audited?

How am I to believe that the whole lot of you making the root exploits and bootloaders are not a big community of identity thieves and financial fraudsters?

Am I just supposed to trust you?

Mar 18, 2012

I was just wondering if android suffers the same browser exploits and drive by downloads that windows does. I ask because some programs such as lookout only scan apps, not the entire file system.

Feb 20, 2012

I have recently switched from AT&T to Verizon, is there any app for Galaxy Nexus (ICS) that will run in the background and watch the coverage and keep track it of it (preferably including GPS location) so I can check how well the service is in the areas where I mostly travel?

General :: Unlockable Bootloaders On Verizon?

Jul 19, 2013

what phones are available now on Verizon that come closest to the Nexus experience? I've been installing alternate ROMs since a week after I got my G1, and I'd never consider a phone that couldn't be completely unlocked. Out where I live, though, Verizon is the only option for decent service. Add to that the fact that I'm grandfathered in with unlimited data, and I won't be switching carriers anytime soon.

General :: Using Locked Bootloaders To Load Unsigned Kernel

Oct 17, 2012

A long time ago, on a 386 far, far away, some people would regularly boot Linux from DOS/Win16/Win32/Win95/etc... using a utility called loadlin. Loadlin would basically grab the system from the short and curlies, and load a target kernel into RAM, and jump directly into, which would effectively be running the kernel in practically the same way as if LILO had loaded it.

Would it be possible to actually make a Linux kernel module which did the same thing? Modules can be loaded at bootup, so it could be configured on a rooted system to load this module, which would effectively jump to a new kernel, throwing the old one out of memory.

Motorola Droid X :: After Installing Leaked / Unofficial Build Of Froyo?

Aug 21, 2010

This is a minor rant, and I'm not attempting to pick on any one individual. I'm just going crazy reading a new thread every 5 minutes of someone discovering a new issue with their X after installing a leaked and of course UNOFFICIAL build of Froyo. I mean you've already been warned of the potential problems and risks you might face with installing the leaked build; so why take the chance of potentially bricking your phone? Either way, maybe the mods can create a separate Froyo sub-forum for the time being, until we finally see an official release.

Do the direct downloads work for you? They are on a different subdomain: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r3-windows.zip http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r3-mac.zip [url]

I'd mirror them for you, but the license forbids redistribution.

Android : "Unofficial" Phones That Work Well On AT&T 3G Frequencies?

Jun 26, 2010

I am thinking about skipping this round of iPhone and opting for an Android handset for use on AT&T.

I may wait for the Samsung Captivate, but am wary about how it will stack up, particularly when it comes to the feel of the touchscreen compared other handsets. (The sensitivity of the touchscreen on my 3GS is one of the biggest factors that has kept me from switching so far.)

My Question:

Aside from the Nexus One and Milestone (international version), what other high-end Android handsets can be used in one way or another on AT&T's 3G frequencies?

Would the Incredible, Evo, or Droid X support 850MHz and 1900MHz if they are SIM unlocked?

As I am still catching up when it comes to Android, due to lack of a selection of devices to play around with at AT&T.

Motorola Droid :: Root 2.1 -> OTA 2.2 -> Lost Root But Superuser Permission Icon Still Appears

Aug 11, 2010

Here is the scenario:
Motorola Droid - Original

1. Rooted 2.1, then
2. OTA Stock Update to 2.2, then
3. Seem to have lost root, However - I still have the Superuser Permissions Icon.

I use Barnacle for WiFi Tether - I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to start the application. I also went into the terminal emulator and tried an "su" which also gave a permission denied response. I tried "sudo" and also got permission denied response. Others have told me this is common with this progression of events. However, How do I now ROOT 2.2 in this scenario?

Motorola Droid :: Root Problems - App - No Root Access

May 10, 2010

I'm trying to gain root and having some problems...

I had my droid rooted for some time, running droid mod 1.0. All was well until recently the battery life turned to shit (followed all guides to resolve recent OTA update issues, but still shitty.) Because of this, I decided I would go back to stock, since I couldn't justify the rom's features if the battery would kick out after 16 hours. So I returned to stock no problem and received the OTA to upgrade to 2.1.

After getting the upgrade to 2.1, I wanted to at least have root access to run a few programs. I followed this guide:

http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/63010-how-install-sprecovery-unrooted-2-1-ota.html

to get SPRecovery back on my phone. Everything went well, it all checked out. After that I used SPRecovery to install the root update.zip. This worked fine, the root access app is in my tray and everything seems to be fine... HOWEVER when opening programs that require root access (setcpu and adfree are the ones I've tried) they say I don't have root access. I have tried reinstalling the update.zip file to no luck. USB debugging is ON. Is there a special update.zip to gain root on 2.1 (I saw no posts about that)? Is there some setting I missed this time around that I didn't the first time I rooted?
