Meta A Clarification: Our Stance on AI in this Subreddit

95 Upvotes

Hi,

While the Moderators of r/androidroot have a generally moderate stance on AI, when it comes to devices worth potentially thousands, we are uninterested in allowing it to provide false information.

To clarify, AI content/promotion is not permitted on r/androidroot, and this has been a rule for some time. Using AI to make guides, recommending the use of AI to attempt to solve issues, and posting AI generated comments are prohibited.

We believe in minimising the spread of misinformation. AI models are not reliable when it comes to factual information yet. It’s also often known to make things up when it has no answer. No resources for rooting an obscure Android device? It’ll make it up based on other information that it deems most likely to be useful. AI, in this state, is not suitable for rooting. It presents too much unmitigated risk, and we will not hold ourselves responsible for the damage caused by content posted on this subreddit.

If you have any questions regarding the rule, comment. However, the decision on this is final.

Thanks for reading.

Received it last week straight from China. I was a huge fan of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite which unfortunately died last month. So I wanted a replacement phone with the same dimensions, maybe better battery life and an infrared blaster. And this phone was the only one I could find that ticked all the boxes just like the Mi 11 Lite. But I wasn't a big fan of the Chinese OS so I decided to have a look and see if I could get rid of it and install something else instead 🙂

Support OTA man in the middle type play

1 Upvotes

assuming you have a secure bootloader in the device (thinking more bare metal than e.g. embedded Linux here) then OTA/DFU updates can be signed with a private key, and the bootloader has the matching public key and refuses an update that's not properly signed. Now only the private key holder can release an update. now assume i have a tablet with a secure OTA setup and can only get new apps onto the tablet by running an OTA from the "company".

now assume i was able to aquire one of the sent OTA packages (by ejecting the sd card using the little invisible button in the settings/storage area and pulling the package before it ran on the device) i now have the original OTA update zip package with base apks,config files and other xml files generally used to configure and secure the tablet in the zip, i also have the .md5 and .sig files that came with the package.

now assume i wanted to take the original package put new apps in there and new config files and eject the SD card place the alterd package where it goes, remount the sd card and get the package to run and install/place the new apps and reconfig the tablet. how can i accomplish this and work around the cryptographic nightmare of sigs and md5s and keys. needing to root a tablet but the security is tight on it, its my legal tablet and i have full permission to do this from the company the tech is old

running android 8.1.0 oreo,no access to settings except a gutted version offering no type of control.no fastboot,bootloader,side load anything like that.the only way in i can see is OTA trick or wiping the side/partition/container holding the secure files overseeing the system or some type of BROM flashing exploit.

simply just plugging the tablet into another rooted tablet and running hexaflash used to work, that exploit was closed by a new update OTA sent out.

Discussion Introducing GetYahRootBack: A free, open-source hub for Android & Samsung device firmware & root info

16 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​My partners and I recently launched a new community resource: https://getyahrootback.admindashboard.dev/?hl=en-AU

Our overall goal is to create a centralized, community-driven database for Android and Samsung device information, firmware mapping, and root journeys. ​We built this because we miss the early days of Android, where everything was intended to be universally available and community-focused. Our intention is to keep this website, along with all active and future projects we host, 100% free, entirely open-source, and strictly ad-free forever.

​We need your help to grow the database:

If you have data to share, please navigate to the "Send device journey tab" on our website to contribute any Samsung or general Android device info. We have a template provided there to make it easy. If you choose to contribute, we will gladly credit and thank you on the site for helping the community!

​GitHub Status:

At the bottom of it all, our data and projects tie back to our GitHub page where all the info will be uploaded for the community to audit and use. We are currently just waiting for GitHub support to reactivate the page, but you can bookmark it here:

https://github.com/plomens

​Let us know what you think or if you have any feature requests for the site!
