[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BearOfXDA:
Security is my concern

So, I've read from a few places that installing TWRP and then a custom ROM, with root, makes your device less secure. i understand thee TWRP part, you can just wipe the device, so what could I do to make the device secure again? I want to use Lineage OS or another secure custom ROM and use Magisk for my root/su app.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
Are you joking? You're worried about the security of installing a well known ROM but want to root your system?

There is no greater security breech than rooting your system, period.

TWRP does not make your device less secure, unlocking the bootloader does since it allows for rootkits but you are installing a rootkit all on your own and apparently you're fine with allowing system wide root access so you cannot be too worried about security.

I have a feeling that you have no clue what so ever about how security on Linux or Android works and read something somewhere that you didn't fully understand and now you think you need to protect yourself against threats that don't exist but are willing to open up your system to system wide rooting without a second thought.

Don't root your device if you don't know what you are doing.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BearOfXDA:
I'm talking about the TWRP part, I have a good understand when it comes to rooting, I use Linux all the time on every device I can, I just want to know some ways to keep the device from being factory reset or wiped after installing Lineage OS and having TWRP as the recovery
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
Here's a clue, don't root it after installing it and it CANNOT be wiped apart from you literally wiping it yourself.

No matter what recovery or what ROM you install, it's the rooting that is the great security breech and the risk you take. A simple script could wipe your device if you have root access. If your device can run a script as root it doesn't need a custom ROM or TWRP to do anything, rm -rf will work just fine without a custom ROM or TWRP but it won't work if you are not rooted. You could also do a dd command through rooting and on stock ROM with stock recovery either the rm -rf or dd commands or part commands will wipe your device or even render it useless by overwriting available partition sectors that any root user has access to.

So TWRP and LOS isn't a problem security wise, rooting IS. TWRP is more secure than the stock recovery since if you set a pin or a gesture login before the device can be started you will have to pass that before you can access TWRP.

To be completely secure, don't do anything at all, keep stock everything and system updates on, keep your bootloader locked.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BearOfXDA:
Would you say Lineage is stable enough for daily driver use?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MADevil666:
Apps who want root access have popups to let us the choice to accept or no. Disable USB and network adb and encrypt your device with password or patern. It's requested before enter in twrp (and the ROM)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tom0769:
You say your screen broke an it's not hardware related??????
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] OhioYJ:
It should be noted, you can still enter TWRP without the password, you just can't access data. Which is the important part. As with any recovery (so this is not a security hole) you can still wipe the device. In TWRP when it asks for the password to decrypt data, you can just hit cancel and go into TWRP anyways.

All the functions are there and working, you just don't have access to any encrypted data. This is why it's very important to encrypt your data. If your phone / tablet is not encrypted, it's trivial for someone to delete your pin-codes / passwords / finger prints from the device and boot it back up.

There is no "password" on TWRP because as with any device if you have physical access to the device, you can own it. All the person would have to do is flash another recovery to it. Encrypt your data, if they want to wipe the device to re-use it they will. Protecting your data is the important part.

---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

If it's an "Official" build it's stable enough. Everyone in my house uses it. Two Nexus 5X, Two Honor 5X, Three Nexus 7 (2013), Samsung Tab S2, no problems out of any of the devices.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] eSpice:
No! the picture breaks up like TV with a bad reception.

I did a fresh install but no luck :(

I said it is not Hardware-related because I can watch a full screen video perfectly well, but when on apps the pictures move and flicker and break up randomly.

now it takes a few tries to push the power button to make the screen light up. :eek:

Edit:

It is hardware related most probably.

Switching to LineageOS from custom ROM

Hello,

I'm not sure if anyone else had these troubles switching to this ROM from another custom ROM, but this is what I encountered after following the steps listed on the front page of this thread (and the linked steps from Lineage's website):

Long boot animation to black screen

(Forced restart)

Long boot animation to set up

No network setup options from Restore Data option

-I used "Fresh Start" option to set up network then backed out to Restore Data and continued from there.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
A root user can bypass anything so no, that isn't any sort of security. Elevated security restrictions of Linux is completely bypassed with SuperSU and every other method.

It's not like a proper Linux system where you require elevated privileges, it can be granted to anything at any time.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

If you have physical access to the device, it's a piece of cake but if you are rooted then every exploit is system wide and that doesn't take physical access.

You cannot access the encrypted data from a locked TWRP but I can access your encrypted data online if you are rooted.

Of course, without a locked bootloader there is nothing to stop anyone with physical access to the phone from flashing stock recovery but then you'd still not be able to unencrypt data if the user pin or gesture is set up.

Rooting your device means you give up all and any security, using banking apps on a rooted device is not a thing I would ever do any more than I would log in as root (because this is what it is, every user on that phone has root access) on my Linux system to do my banking.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MADevil666:
Do u understand : root access need a popup accept . disable adb and network root access mean only local root app can be launch only when you accept it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nicktheprofessor:
What is wrong with you? Root access means I can disable your acknowledgement remotely. I can't use your TWRP without holding your phone.

ThIs discussion is now over.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] OhioYJ:
Just for clarification, TWRP is not "locked". It does not take a password to get into TWRP. If your data is encrypted yes it asks you for a password, but you can just hit cancel and get into TWRP. You won't have access to data, but you can still wipe the device, etc.

Users that don't want to leave their system rooted can Add on Removal Zip in the first post after they do what they need to. If they use Magisk, there is an uninstall for Magisk as well.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MADevil666:
If you disable adb via network. You can't remotly access to it . if adb is disable totally , USB dont work too. You can only select local apps to have root rights (with a popup) . rooted and data encrypted like that , you r safe.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Anybody who wants their device being more secure should not enable root and relock the bootloader. You still can access the data with TWRP if the bootloader is relocked and the device is encrypted by giving the encryption/start-up password to TWRP. However you can't access data with TWRP anymore if you've enabled the fingerprint reader. TWRP still prompts for the encryption/start-up password, but giving it doesn't work. Note that I've confirmed this on 15th June 2017 with to that date's latest bootloader, TWRP and vendor image. I don't know why this was/or still is. Maybe a missing part in TWRP? On other devices I own (e.g. Nexus 5 or 7) relocking the bootloader is not a problem with TWRP.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
I have a 5x, with Lineage OS homebrew (no root), custom TWRP, and i re-locked the bootloader. I also changed the signing keys. I'm thinking of also modding TWRP to only accept my keys and verification is always enabled. I usually update monthly and flash the vendor/radio/bootloader from recovery. At this point, the only ones who can flash my device is me and whomever has the factory keys to the bootloader- probably google and qualcomm.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
Do you use the fingerprinter and can TWRP still access your data? Which TWRP version have you modified and what have you modded?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
I can decrypt data with the pin code.

I built the twrp minimal based on omni. I think it's 3.1.1. I added my own adb keys so that I don't need to accept then in the OS, and I changed the signing keys. I also changed some of the defaults. Next step will be strict zip file verification.

Few questions before install

Hi,

I have a few questions before changing my stock ROM for Lineage.

- Is it necessary to have a n2g48c version installed on the phone before flashing Lineage 14.1 or it's not a problem if it's already updated to Android 8.0.0 stock?

- Why do you recommend BeansGapps mini instead of Opengapps?

That's all!

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
I signed the rom with my own custom key. I also have encryption on.

https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot

I have the yellow boot warning and it shows me the key signature, so that I can tell if the rom was signed with a different signature.

I think the brick condition you mentioned is the red warning.

Edit: I posted some info here- it mostly still applies. I'm not sure if there will be any changes for OREO yet.

Just a heads up. Google finally released the source for the september security patches a few days ago. I imagine they were late because of the oreo rollout.

It has been merged into lineage, so the next nightly will have it.

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:sep2017asb

And I merged kernel patches last night.

https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...mmit/445f04c455e6242153875f6f1f2902c3a7da98b8

The patches for the BlueBorne vulnerability will also be in the next nightly. :good:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:blueborne-N

https://review.lineageos.org/190214

NOTE: Since google didn't make a nougat september security update for the 5X, there is no new vendor, bootloader, or radio img to flash. And there's no new proprietary binaries either, which we normally extract from the factory image every month.

They are making monthly oreo security updates for it now, so we probably won't see anymore nougat updates for it from them.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Adai0:
One more question: can you flash from bootloader? I thought you cannot flash from a locked bootloader even though you've installed your own signing keys.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

No, it does not cause brick. A locked bootloader changes the device state for booting and doesn't allow flashing via the bootloader. That's according to the documentation (https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot). Maybe it allows flasing if you've canged the siging keys. I've never tried that myself. gee one might tell us :)

This means: with a relocked bootloader you will need to flash (radio, vendor, system etc.) via recovery. The vendor recovery however only allows to flash signed factory images. If you've already installed TWRP you can freely flash anything in recovery even with a relocked bootloader. But then you might end up in RED state while booting (other device's bootloaders may behave different).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gee one:
I have to flash everything from recovery or the OS (dd!). With the locked bootloader, only OEM signed zips can be flashed, maybe.

In recovery, with zip verification, only zips that are signed with the right keys can be signed. I haven't forced zip verification yet, but that's next on the list.

In recovery, without zip verification, I can flash anything, but if the boot.img is signed with a different key, I'll get the yellow warning with a different signature and data decrypt will fail.

Hey,

This might be a stupid question, but how does the LineageOS team decide when a new OS version is ready to begin nightly releases? As an app developer and Windows Insider, I'm all too aware that developers hate this kind of question - unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any information about this on the web.

I'm quite happy with LineageOS 14.1 on my Nexus 5X at the moment, but it would be nice to know how the decision to roll out LOS15 to new devices (in particular, Nexus 5X's, since that's what I own) will take place, and what factors will influence it.

Again, I'm aware that devs hate this sort of question and I apologize for not being able to find the information I seek elsewhere - maybe I just didn't look hard enough. xD
