ATTN: Ppls who this applies to - Locked BL with custom firmware

Who is this message for?

This message is for the people who don’t want me to put this out. This is not malicious at all. Really. I promise.

I just remember the old days when sharing exploits was more about fun and sense of accomplishment, not anything else.

Your concerns about this post:

People now know it’s possible to do, and may try. I hear ya, don’t care.

What’s this about?

Yesterday I managed to flash modified firmware and keep locked bootloaders on:

  • Tiq Mini M5
  • Qin F21 Pro

I will test more phones of this type to see if my process can work.

The reason why this is not a problem for kashrus:

Most kosher roms for these phones:

  • Have a modified lk to block flashing
  • If they don’t, they need to up their game

Don’t come at me with kashrus concerns, this doesn’t open anything up that isn’t open already.

The reason you don’t want me to put it out is money. I also like money. When I can’t make money off of something, I usually share it here, and make a public repo on github.

So, now I have 3 options as I see it:

  1. Where are my customers? You can send me a text at 330-866-0730 or email dietdroidwp@gmail.com
  2. I have no customers, and I would love to share this awesome hack, that’s my nature.
  3. I’m not opposed to someone buying my silence

I’ll give it a week?

Feel free to cross-post this on mitmachim.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

I’ve decided that I will put it out. Sorry peeps, I’m not gonna have another e4810 situation.

Old teineh. Agree. Kosher phones without locked flashing are useless scams.

thats why tag only approves if flashing is blocked

If a phone is flashable anyway what’s any new kashrua concern might this open?

Exactly :100:

What would the tayneh possibly be?

How is this different than any other rom that’s not made kosher
