With the Exynos-Abuse Exploit out for ANYONE to use, you're probably better off rooting and installing a custom kernel that includes the fix of AndreiLux. (RedPill and Perseus as of this writing) Now I know it will void the warranty, as you all are aware of, but if the only way to secure your device and your personal data (You don't want anyone to see your google search terms and results as well as those "private" moments that you may have kept for yourself just like any normal person) is to root and install a secured kernel, what choice is Samsung giving you?

Can you imagine what a nefarious and talented malware developer could do with this? They could break your system and have a pop-up that says "Pay up to free your system from being one of my mobile drones"... OR "Donate to get the full features of your device" (This one actually happens a lot on XDA... some talented dev gives you partial features to lure you in... then WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA'AM... If you want the full features, please donate yada yada yada...) I digress, as always. :)

Now, would you rather wait till Samsung officially patches this exploit and run the risk of exposing yourself to the risks this exploit opens you up to? Don't assume malware devs aren't rushing their current code to try and pry their way into your system using this exploit. For all we know, they're busy trying to cover up a similar exploit and currently awaiting Play Store approval. Yes, even the Play Store Apps can compromise your system. Even if Samsung does act fast, (not as fast as AndreiLux since he fixed it in a jiffy) how sure are you that your system hasn't been compromised? You wouldn't even know it.

The best reason to root RIGHT NOW is to completely secure your system, now more than ever. If you need to claim a warranty, you can tell them:

a. I had no choice, you messed up, xda-devs cleaned it up.

b. Flash back stock kernel and remove any trace of root and your use of a custom binary.

c. Completely brick your phone and tell Samsung that the exynos-mem exploit was actually used by malware that zapped your system dead.

I'm not a fan of any of these choices since I believe warranties should be honored by the manufacturer, especially if the bug they created was the reason for the claim for warranty in the first place.

U rawx

But... :p can't mount external microsd card formatted with exfat (64gb SanDisk). On boot it scans for errors then immediately unmounted the card when scan is completed. Tying to mount again in settings causes a hang requiring shutdown, reboot.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
Pongster,

I think I have the same issue than rendler.

However I would like to soften what his saying. In RedPill 0.10 standard I had a warning at boot saying that errors were corrected. Once done, I had access to my card in read-only mode and I had to properly mount it using Total Commander to have it working as expected. When moved to 0.11 standard, my exFAT SDcard was not mounted anymore at boot (however still accessible and without any data loss using the SDXC to USB adapter I have).

I am currently doing a complete exFAT format of my card using Windows 7 (I formatted my card on XP first and I had issues saying card could not be properly formatted) to see if it solved my issue and will report here once finished. In the mean time, can you tell us if you add exFAT feature that could create this issue or if sources you used had some changes in it (may be related to your NTFS automount changes as well) that can create such issue?

Last point, using Exynos-Mem bug checker, my device is said to be vulnerable to the bug :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] LittleH79:
Damn, with new patched version my wifi is really slow.

Barely can't get above 1,2mb.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Really? I formatted my other SD as exfat to test and it more nuts it fine here. No changes to exfat modules made so I'm not sure what it could be.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Exynos Mem checker probably reads the permissions of the /dev/exynos-mem fike. We dont need to touch that as the fix is at a lower level and the exploit faiks when it tries to get root access. Try using the exynos-abuse binary to get a root shell. It will fail everytime. AndreiLux patch fixes the hole left open by Samsung. The chmod stuff work but aren't completely reliable.

Try chainfires root exploit apk that actually tries to simulate how an app might use the exploit and watch for the "failed" toast notification.

WiFi speeds about the same here. Using stock n7100 drivers. Only change is the multicast being blocked by Entropy.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] LittleH79:
I'm going to try at home later on.

Maybe a reconfig of the connection setup might help.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Chayangkul99:
Very nice kernel, running the lastest version now :). The best kernel for note 2 (i have tried all the roms and kernel available for note 2, [lots of flashing])

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jachna:
Nice thx
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Weird. I don't recall touching anything exfat related. Will double check for you when I wake up tom. Its 1am here. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
pongster,

I full formatted my sdcard on a Windows 7 machine and inserted this very card without any data in it in my Note II and I got the "damaged card" message. Installed version 0.10 back and rebooted, no more "error correction" message. Everything is finally fine for me. But I do think there is an error in 0.11. Did you format your sdcard using you device format feature? Because these feature formats card in FAT32.

Regarding your fix, Chainfire Exynos Abuse version 1.40 says the system is vulnerable but I did not have the courage to test it. Anyway, as I revert my system back to version 0.10, I will not be protected by it then :(

Battery drain

My batter is draining after flashing this kernel
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] kersh:
Corrupted SD card after 0.11, back to 0.10
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
It will say its vulnerable since the perms are stock 0666. His app is looking to read dev/exynos-mem perms and expect 0400. Run the binary exynos-abuse in the thread and you'll see it can't get a root shell. Tested that many times.

It could have been fat32. Working on the fix now. Will release fixed version by tomorrow. :)

EDIT: Fixed it.Will rebuild and release test kernel on a post here.If all works as expected, we have Rev1.00 :)

Please test if ExFAT works as I expect it to and let me know. If it works, this is Rev1.00 and as good as the version I'm posting on OP.

I'm skipping several version numbers since I feel this is stable enough to be called a 1.00. Next versions will go from 1.00 to 1.99 then hit 2.00

This gives me enough numbers to avoid having kernel 759.578 or something like that. :)

Download Link: RedPill_Rev1.00
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Please use BBS. You just flashed Rev0.11?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Updated Page 1 with Rev1.0 links. Please re-download and sorry for temporarily breaking ExFAT support. :)

I also edited the FAAAQ's for anyone who cares to read:

Why should I even ROOT my device? Is a custom kernel more secure?

With the Exynos-Abuse Exploit out for ANYONE to use, you're probably better off rooting and installing a custom kernel that includes the fix of AndreiLux. (RedPill and Perseus as of this writing) Now I know it will void the warranty, as you all are aware of, but if the only way to secure your device and your personal data (You don't want anyone to see your google search terms and results as well as those "private" moments that you may have kept for yourself just like any normal person) is to root and install a secured kernel, what choice is Samsung giving you?

How do I know I'm secured from the Exynos-Abuse Exploit?

Don't rely on apps that tell you whether you're vulnerable or not as the low level kernel fix AndreiLux implemented doesn't need to change the permissions of the /dev/exynos-mem.

Try running Chainfires Exploit APK and try getting the exploit to say anything else but "FAILED"... or head over to the thread HERE and download the exynos-abuse binary and run it from a terminal.

If your shell changes from $ to # then the exploit was successful, if not then you're safe.

Kernel 1.00 runs fine, no more problems at all. Simply perfect. Signature updated!

And thanks for the complete explanation and the link to AndreiLux post. Everything is now clear to me, I am protected and my camera runs fine. What else can I dream of, a Nespresso maybe :laugh:

Thanks for your hard work.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] phly-phantom:
I am using the new Kernel already for quite a while. Considering performance I could not agree more to the comments made. Responsiveness is great.

Redpill 0.5 makes the Note 2 snappy and any ROM a pleasure to use. Smooth and without lags. Compared to Kernels that can be overclocked - looks nice in setcpu/romtoolbox and probably consumes more energy for that - but they don´t deliver in practical terms more performance than you get with redpill.

Biggest improvement however over anything else is the battery performance. The new kernel is incredible in deep sleep/stby-performance. It seems as if the device uses significantly less power with screen off than anything else out there.

Thanks Pongster for your great work.

I'd adjust my voltages and sched_mc settings and see if it happens and you can reproduce it. I left my device unplugged and it sleeps and wakes up perfectly. This is using stock settings that come with redpill so I'm not sure it will work if you changed anything as not all CPUs are created equal.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Can you reproduce it? What are the steps so we can see if I can get it SOD'ing on my device. What are your UV Settings? What init.d scripts do you have? I'm not getting SOD or any WiFi issues so I cant fix it without more information.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] pongster:
Use TWRP. They must be flashing a different sensorhub version. (Not sure why they need to do that)

RedPill flashes the latest version as updated by AndreiLux from the latest sources to enable 4.1.2 ROM's to work (Rotation and all other related sensors)

Ask Recovery makers to stop flashing a new sensorhub version. I use TWRP and can boot into recovery much faster than any other available at the moment.
