[Moto X General] KidJoe:
I don't blame you for Jcase switching from saying "august" to saying he would not ever release the process he has. I think your post just happened to be the straw that broke the camels back.

Please link the post where Jcase said he would release AFTER it is patched by google as I missed him saying that. (unlesss it was after his post saying due to posts like yours he changed his mind and would no longer release what he has).

The root exploit and process Jcase has for 4.4.2 and is holding back does not address disabling write protection. So anyone with 4.4.2 on their phone, who then roots, would lose any changes to /system or other protection folders on any power off/on, or "hard boot" (like going into recovery, bootloader mode, etc). Is that really worth releasing? If he releases it now, it is very likely that the exploit used would get patched. And there is a good chance it would be patched BEFORE a solution for disabling write protection is found (that is IF someone manages to find a way to disable write protection again).

At this point, I'll repeat what I've said all along..

If you need root on the X, buy a dev edition, or other version where you can obtain a bootloader unlock code direct from Moto (or now from the Chinese web site or middle man). Its the only way to ensure you can root no matter what rom version is on your phone. Anything else, you're taking a chance and waiting.

As to those who want to try and find a way to root and disable write protection, I say Good Luck! I hope you do work it out as there are many with locked bootloaders who would be grateful!!
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Luckily, I got on safestrap before I decided to upgrade to 4.4.2. I'm rooted and will remain rooted. Lucky me. The next phone I get will either be a Nexus/Silver phone, or a developer edition of something. I'm not going to have to worry about this kinda stuff anymore. Granted, this was my first non-Nexus phone.

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Ahhh... so it was PART of his response to terrorist96 saying he changed his mind. Which is why I missed it.
[Moto X General] kiwilit43:
I hope the craze around towel root for the S5 today will allow someone to use the same exploit for the X! Fingers crossed...
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
Jcase did release the PIE exploit process for the X a few days (a week?) ago. Its for 4.4.2 on the X, but the vulnerability used was/is patched in 4.4.3.

The OP of this thread is looking for a Root and Write Protection Disable process, unfortunately Jcase's PIE process doesn't do both. :(

While it roots the X, it doesn't disable write protection, so root doesn't survive power off/on. Also, since write protection is enabled, rooting this way you can't write to /system and the like, so some apps that need root might not work.

Geohot does say the towelroot process for the S5 doesn't work on the X because of the write protection on the X. :(

[Moto X General] super65man:
Got a link to that gs5 thread?
[Moto X General] natezire71:
While that is nice of you, that wasn't what this bounty was for. Towel root doesn't solve the /system being write protected. You didn't have to pay him.
[Moto X General] kiwilit43:
Towelroot.com
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
And as posted earlier.. the towelroot process does NOT work on the X due to write protection on the X.

It's been deleted.
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Mark, I just ordered a replacement phone. If it comes with 4.4.2 and I use PIE to root.. since write is still protected.. .. lets see, with my 4.4 slapmymoto root this is what I did, after root I renamed ota files using file explorer.. to stop the updates, that's the first question, Can i rename these files without write disabled? after that i used an app i got from someone on this forum to disable verizons tether check so i can hotspot the phone.. wonder if that is going to work? can I use file exporer to delete files with the PIE root?

Thanks
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
With write protection enabled, you can't mount /system as write able. So do not expect to be able to edit, rename or delete files in /system. That includes /system/apps and /system/priv-app.

There are several Vzw tether hacks. I really haven't paid attention to which work with PIE since I have an unlocked bootloader.

Edit:see this in the PIE thread about Vzw tether -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53295969&postcount=251. I am surprised if that works, since it says it edits build.prop (which is in /system)
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
Thanks :) I just finished the 35 pages of the Pie thread.. and did see the thread you linked to above, that is the tether app that I used on my slapmymoto rooted moto x, so good to know it should work.. the other question is renaming the ota_3 files to inhibit the ota. I am thinking I should be able to delete them or rename them, I'm not writing to the phone am I?

Edit, disregard I just reread your post... so the sys apps are protected and not changeable... thanks

[Moto X General] easting:
I think there's going to be a collection soon...
[Moto X General] rohandhruva:
Are you referring to the exploit that was discovered today?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Well likely he has been sitting on that for some time....although it was publicly demonstrated, and details of the vulnerability released today...

It will be interesting to see if Dan attempts to collect on this bounty... I don't recall him collecting anything for his previous razr m bootloader exploit. Can anyone comment on that?
[Moto X General] easting:
inderectly, yes.
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Could one of you please link me to said exploit?
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
Here's Dan's write-up of the exploit in detail:

http://blackhat.com/docs/us-14/materials/us-14-Rosenberg-Reflections-On-Trusting-TrustZone-WP.pdf
[Moto X General] underdog1799:
Yeah, I saw that too
[Moto X General] natezire71:
Thanks! This is wonderful. Technically this exploit gives root--so, would he get this bounty? I think he should get both bounties.
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
Yeah possibly. I read in another thread that he collected on other Moto devices, and donated them to charity. I suspect he'll do the same here if he does.
[Moto X General] :
Wouldn't both the bounty threads imply "unlock bootloader"? Which unlocks it, period. And permanently no matter what software you run.

Does this exploit actually do that.... Or does it fool the system into thinking is unlocked? And could stop working in future android releases? ?

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Actually I reread ... This bounty says 4 4.2 root with write protection disabled. So this would probably be collected.

Isn't the other "unlock bootloader" tho?
[Moto X General] Verttex:
No idea. The exploit would 'unlock' the bootloader but there isn't a way to lock it afterwards. It's a permanent but if Moto comes and patches the process other people won't be able to use the exploit.

It's a limited use permanent bootloader unlock. Limited use as in until Moto patches it
[Moto X General] :
Then I don't think the other bounty would actually be solved . Not really. IMHO of course.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

Not if the exploit stopped working for people with newer phones. Unless the bounty states an android version. Gonna go read it.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Just to clear this up:

As long as you are able to USE this exploit before Moto Patches the vulnerability in TZ, you will be permanently unlocked. No one will be able to tell that you didn't actually use an UNLOCK TOKEN (what you get from the middleman OR the official Moto unlock site) to unlock. The exploit does exactly and precisely what the OFFICIAL unlock does.

So anyone who is able to USE the exploit (assuming they aren't on a version already patched -- we have no knowledge on whether or not TZ is patched in 4.4.4, for instance) they would technically need to pay Dan the bounty money....

While it is at least theoretically possible that Moto could re-lock someone's bootloader, I don't see how they could do it indiscriminately (they would most likely have to re-lock EVERYONE) and Moto simply wouldn't put themselves through such a PR-Nightmare. If the same holds true as for the previous BL-unlock exploit, we need not worry.

The thing is: once the tool to exploit the vulnerability is released, you ***need to use it as soon as humanly possible**, and not take ANY updates in the mean-time.

As long as you unlock FIRST, even if Moto patches the vulnerability in TrustZone afterwards, you will STILL remain unlocked.

Hope everyone is able to understand that...
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
Wouldn't we be able to determine if the TZ was updated in the 4.4.4 update? The files would be in there, right?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Yes, one could analyze the 4.4.4 OTA and see if any (and if so, what) changes were made to TZ...but I have no problem being completely honest with you and saying: "Its over my head". While I understand the basics of what Dan describes in his vulnerability write-up, he is clearly light-years ahead of me. My ego isn't too big to admit to that ;)
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
Lol yeah me too. Dan is an interesting person. In fact, he's so interesting, bootloaders ask him if they can be unlocked. :cool:
[Moto X General] underdog1799:
Yeah dude... he's like the Chuck Norris of bootloaders
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
If I understand correctly, TZ is part of motoboot.img. While I know GPT.BIN changed between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, I can't remember if Motoboot.img did.

I'm at work right now, and don't have the SBF files to unzip and FC in order to check.

First of all im a noob.

Im not even sure if this is the right section to post a question like this one.

I was using the Pixlr-o-matic app and i got bored with the overlays that includes so i thought i might wanna add more myself.

I opened the app with winzip and found the overlay images in folder (assets-overlay-default-1), i added more and also i added them in the same image size and names and also in the thumbnails folder. I resigned the apk and installed. The new overlays are not appearing i tried to think what i might be doing wrong or what i should do more and i cant come up with an idea...

Im attaching the modded apk and an example of the overlay i wanted to add.

If you need more info to provide ill be glad to reply!

Hello,

I'm running HTC One stock, not rooted, Android 4.4.2. Purchased Deus Ex The Fall 2 day ago. The game crashes(closes with the default report message) on selecting anything from the main menu.

Square Enix Support made me to uninstall the game and delete cache and data of the play store - restart and install again - same issue. Now I'm waiting for a refund from them.

According the comments in the play store the game was running ok on HTC One before the update to 4.4.2, so I guess it is kitkat related issue.

Did anyone else here tried to run the game with the last Android?

I have an HTC Sensation Z710e and I can't find out what HBOOT does it have. When I'm pressing volume down + power it goes into a factory mode, where you can test the phone... When I'm trying to find out with Revolutionary tool it says HBOOT Unknown. Can anyone help me?

[HTC Sensation] MAsterokki:
I have the strong impression that you have a fake HTC Sensation. The IMEI points to a HTC sensation, but the chip that is used is a mediatek 6573 processor, which does not belong in a normal HTC Sensation. This explains the different bootloader.

However, a imei can easely be faked.

This is the info on the processor used in your device:

http://system-on-a-chip.findthebest.com/l/165/MediaTek-MT6573

I found someone else on a Chinese forum with the exact same problem...

http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-3275838-1-1.html

and

http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-3281595-1-1.html

Can you check if your screen resolution is 800x480 or that it is 960x540?

-edit: I am certain it is a fake now, I am sorry for you man. Hope you didnt pay too much for it.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
that's make sense

but how did they put a mediatek processor in a sensation device?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] MAsterokki:
They didnt, they just created a device that looks like a sensation but has lower specs. They gave it the IMEI number of a HTC Sensation, and imitated the software.
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
I would say its definitely a fake pal. I'm pretty sure your ROM version should read 1.45.XXX.X (depending on region) for GB. Sorry mate. :crying:
