So what kind of JS would need to be injected to obtain temp root? I have the proof of concept from the PDF running in my dev environment, but I don't know where to go from here.

I'm pretty new to Android development, but I'm an experienced Java/JavaScript/OOP developer, so any direction from here would be appreciated.

Same ol', same ol'. Keep holding your breath because nothing official has been released in regard to a root method for the OG EVO except "someone's working on it". Overheard (read?) conversations in IRC provide some interesting insight, but nothing that you can or should be hanging your hat on.

I have this page bookmarked for when it finally drops. I reeeeally hope the OG EVO is included in the bootloader unlocking program. HTC made it sound like since it's being discontinued soon they've pushed it aside for the big boys. Need I remind them that the EVO made Sprint somebody again, and is the main reason a lot of people didn't leave for another service.

[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
It's funny how this keeps coming up, even though HTC has already said which phones will initially be supported with the bootloader unlock tool and the EVO 4G is not on it. Is it likely that HTC is going to add it later and further encourage people to hold on to a discontinued phone? Sorry, but the answer is no. They may surprise us, but I seriously doubt that you'll ever see official HTC support for unlocking the EVO 4G.

We'll have to depend on our awesome development folks to do it.

[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
That's news to me; source?
[EVO 4G General] OdayAllDday:
Well turns out I may have misread it at first.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-bootloaders/10150305151453084

The second paragraph of the 7/10 update says that it'll be fully operational by September for phones that received the updates. On second glance I guess that means the updates that will make the sensation and 3d compatible and not the gingerbread updates everybody got.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Hope crushed again. ;)

Pretty much what we figured in the first place; no mention of support for the EVO 4G. I infer from omission that it is likely to never be supported, but that's only my guess.

The EVO 4G will get root guys.. it is just going to take some time. These devs have jobs and lives also and can't do this stuff 24/7. I know waiting sucks and a lot of the devs are tight lipped about where they are in the process but it WILL come. If its made by man... It can be broken by man.

Reply from the Android support team:

Hi [my name removed],

Thank you for your note.

Users running "Google Experience Devices" (devices manufactured and deployed solely via Google, with pure Google software) will be getting upgraded to 2.3.5. For other devices, whether the patch is backported to older versions is dependent on the manufacturer / carrier. You need to contact them for additional details.

Regards,

Nick

The Android Security Team

Conclusion:

Whether the Evo has the browser exploit fixed it the responsibility of HTC. Can anybody find out if 4.24 fixed the exploit?

Update:

It doesn't include the patch from my awareness.

4.24 Changelog
[EVO 4G General] AA27:
Been hearing this song for a while and by the looks it might be longer:

A phone that is about to phase out and is being replaced is not a top priority but since there are so many users that still have it they lock it in order to profit out of their software that is designed to keep the customer spending more money either by using the old phone or forcing the customer to buy a new one.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I believe that you're 100% correct in this assessment. I am very confident that our devs will find an exploit and....exploit it. ;)

[EVO 4G General] PhreakAccident:
I'm confident the dev teams will come up with something for the 4G. I was kind of hoping sooner than later, but I'm up for an upgrade come December 1 and will be getting my 3D. Just watch though, come then, they'll probably plug the exploits and I'll have to wait even longer... LOL!

Does Adobe 10.1 in GB have root access? Since it is a system app that cannont be removed from the system? The only reason I ask is I found that the reason it was updated was it sometimes it crashes during playback of certain videos.

I dont know if that has any effect on finding a security hole that could be used. I thought maybe it was worth bringing up just in case. Im sure its a known thing but I wanted to try and help.

"Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.106.16 and earlier versions for Android. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system"

You will eventually have root, there is no doubt it will happen, someone is working on it.

after having said all that, agrabren and teamwin are my heroes just for dedicating so much to this phone, agrabaren alone also works on the hdmiwin mirroring app for free, wich i certainly appreciate too, we have an awsome dev community and although i have no doubt in my mind they will crack this, what i do doubt is the patience i have within myself to deal with gingerbread and its random crap

I've had just about enough of this! I have had this phone for over a year now, and never had a single complaint about it till the GB update... Never rooted or had the intention to root.... But they made my awesome phone a P.O.S. and offer absolutely no fix for it.... All I want is to go back to froyo, and have my phone work the way it used to...

I'm gonna wait a few more days for root on this thing, if it dont happen, I'm going to the sprint store, bouncing my phone off the reps forehead, and trading it for a nexus..... If they refuse the trade...I'm off to verizon I really hope they will let me trade tho, cuz I hate verizon, but they are the only other carrier with coverage here....

Mine was acting all sorts of goofy just two weeks into owning it, took it back and hoped maybe I didn't catch them accepting the OTA the first time around, but alas, the new phone has 2.3.3 out of the box. Probably going to go to upgrade to the 3D or Nexus S before the 30 day thing is up...I'd rather just have a rooted Evo as I got a decent price on it and it's plenty fast enough for my use...just need functionality.

Personally... I'm not angry theres no root... Like I said, never intended to root in the 1st place.... I'm mad at sprint, cuz they pushed an update, that made my phone half of what it was (while claiming that it would improve battery life, etc...), and have no solution for it... Wont roll me back to froyo (which worked just fine for my needs), dont have a fix for the issues in GB, and basicly just say upgrade to the newer evo, or wait it out.

Thats BS!! I paid good money for the phone when it came out just over a year ago, and signed a 2 year agreement with the phone... THEY caused the problem, and I feel they should at least be able to roll me back the version that worked for me,

Does anyone think thats an unreasonable request? I dont think I'm asking for a lot... Just what I paid for....
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
I think there is a bunch of impatience going on in here. I lost root due to a phone replacement back in June, so it isn't like I am not waiting, too. It took longer than this for the hero to get rooted when HTC upgraded it. Hell, the Atrix was waiting HOW LONG for root? Calm yourselves. Whether root is achieved or not, the Devs don't deserve to be berated by a bunch of dudes who can't do anything for themselves to improve the situation. They are doing this for free. This is not their job. If the dude works on it for 10 minutes a week, who are we to tell him to work faster or work harder? This is THEIR hobby too! Who are we to tell them what projects to work on? I want root. I want it yesterday. But you are not gonna hear me complaining about the devs..I may ***** about HTC screwing us with the bootloader, but I will never complain about the devs. I have already gotten MORE than my money's worth out of this phone, and it is entirely due to their work.

That is what I myself and numerous others are "complaining" about. Besides, aren't these boards created to voice opinions? We are all a happy droid family, but lets just keep it honest here.
