binaries compiled for 64bit android 19 - 23 .. I also updated the Makefile so that it is more conventional style, so you can see it's a simple script you can make a .bat

https://mega.nz/#!4RcGmC6D!0AaTQ2sDys06TpL2NTZ3MwRRj6U0SQl8LQt72-EtsoM

The init_offset may be incorrect or it may work I don't know. I haven't had a lot of free time to even play with this myself. I don't think you can write to anywhere or execute much with this context..

Notes:

You can't execute much with dnsmasq context but you can read almost any directory, and you can cat almost any file. Any file you can cat and see the contents you can patch with dirtycow. dnsmasq can read /sdcard/ files so place dirtycow on /sdcard/ along with any modified versions of the files you want to patch. Then patch a file you can execute to be dirtycow. (what file can you execute?, i dunno try them all from /system/bin/ then pick the best)

If anyone reading along doesn't understand just wait, don't brick your phone. patching files with dirtycow as root is dangerous and could easily cost some service fees by endless looping stuff.

Yeah we will get it soon now this is the third root context and counting. My biggest challenge right now is time I just got home and it's 12:27 so I answer a few questions then sack out. Hopefully time will be granted to me tomorrow ;) But again it is likely only possible for folks November 2016 security and less. If you are beyond that date I have a little trick but if you are Nougat I am almost sure you can't boot with the boot.img from PJ1..

trident:

I believe we need to decompile init and find the correct INIT_OFFSET to write our functions to. The easiest method would be to take the boot.img from the S7 Active from September (i think freddierice used), unpack it, and decompile it side by side with your /init

(look down next post)

Status quo of me:

I will come back to Trident when I am done playing with the bootloader and flashing boot to recovery "like Android External Dirtycow". I am starting to think it boils down to the .pem file and nothing more because I can flash PE6 recovery onto my PK1/PJ1 merged firmware.

so busy lately.. if you need me to change code, compile something, please let me know.. If you hit a wall let me know what wall so I can try to think past it with code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
I have a 925v. It's been activated before, but isn't anymore. If ODIN doesn't allow you to flash the AP file, you may need to use the repartition option along with the sprint PIT file.

But that's risky. I would try and use the Root Console by Droidvoider to mount the system and data partitions as RW, then copy the system image over manually and hope it boots lol.

I've been working on getting my fiance to move her things off my S6 Edge so I can test Droidvoiders console and trident projects on the 925v W/December update. I just need to find a kernel that will work.

Before you destroy your phone......

OK so most Verizon phones already come sim unlocked so you should put any sim card that isn't a Verizon card and see if it reads it, if it says no sim, then it's not unlocked. Of that's the case then I can unlock it for you. Don't try to switch carrier firmware, you will destroy your phone. If anything root your phone and ask someone on xda for a dd copy of their efs.img.ext4 and you can flash that in odin no problem, but it's risky, you could destroy your drk and you don't want that to happen. You should dd your efs image for a backup no matter what. Lemme know if u have any questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
I flashed the full Sprint G935U firmware to my G935V and so far I have not had one single problem.

And if the Device Root Key gets corrupted during a flash, normally flashing a Samsung Factory Firmware (I.E. The Combination Firmware) should fix that no problem.

The real problem with cross carrier flashing firmwares mainly concerns flashing the CP [Modem] and BL [Bootloader] files. Normally, flashing a different AP file doesn't have many nasty effects that can't be fixed with a flash of the stock device FW.

I typically

uncheck

the Auto-Reboot option in ODIN, so that just in case of an error I can reboot directly back into download mode to fix the issue.

I still am without stable internet....sad times. AT&T dropped the ball with my account and am now waiting for paperwork in the mail.

Loading any sepolicy with dirtycow

All you have to do is dirtycow your sepolicy while in trident root and then do "restorecon -RFv /*" without the quotations. This will restore the contexts from the file_contexts and it reloads the sepolicy. Toying with it yesterday I was running my root shell from the u:r:init:s0 context and was almost able to mount the system as rw, all I was missing was the proper symlinks. Hope this helps :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
Can you explain a little further? Please, that sounds exciting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiraO1:
It's all in the sepolicy after u get root in the dnsmasq context. I took a rooted s6edge plus to write the sepolicy. Make sure u put the sepolicy u want to edit in your /sdcard and run this command: adb shell su -c supolicy --file /sdcard/sepolicy /sdcard/sepolicy_out "permissive *" this command will make your sepolicy completely permissive, so permissive in fact that you don't have to run setenforce 0, for all intents and purposes, it's just as permissive. From there rename the sepolicy_out to sepolicy and throw it in the root of the project. Trident loads it like a champion and then to gain init context, run these commands: mount -of rw,remount /proc | chmod 0777 /proc/self/attr/* | echo u:r:init:s0 > /proc/self/attr/exec AND VIOLA! root with init context. Then start installing su binaries :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
You can downgrade by using the Combination Factory Firmware files. Thats how I was originally able to downgrade from MM to LP.

Same applies to Nougat, at least on the S7Edge

You also need a firmware with the same software revision (ie Binary Level/Bootloader)

The Note 5 from ATT runs binary 4 as far as the nougat update.

Thanks for this information guys. I will look it over.

Hopefully I can get a new write up done here soon. Im still unpacking my new house atm.

This is great news. Like superb news. I can use my S7 to try and write an sepolicy.

They say severity is low. But if you can manage to get your own arbitrary kernel module loaded into the Kernel. Isn't that what [MENTION=5254272]TechNyne66[/MENTION] was trying to do for his KExec Idea? I did actually have a working copy of the binary for arm64 that was static and portable. The Eng LP Kernel for the S6 Edge I've had for months. The Combination Firmware for the N920A from August and November I've had for months. And I also have the Eng SBoot for the Note5 MM.

I need someone to help me disassemble like two things and rebase them for me, even crudely.

This: "Part4: Send callback notification to base of IP address "24HR UPDATED", Phone number, Device registration email, IMEI, Hardware serial number, Firmware ID number)" ... Sound like it is taking advantage of:

My question is, what would be the purpose of the SSH/TFTP? Is it to inject a pipeline to hook into the U-Boot part of the bootloader?

From Linaro (August 2015): https://www.linaro.org/blog/core-dump/u-boot-on-arm32-aarch64-and-beyond/

Because in that article there, they reference the ability to load a kernel over the ethernet port using TFTP when developing the AARCH64 support in U-Boot.

And U-Boot is what Samsung has been using for sometime now on the Exynos Chips. Little Kernel seems to play a part still, but It definitely doesn't seem to be the only thing at work. Otherwise how does having an "exploited ssh/tftp service" do anything for "real" profit?

If no one has actually to recompile a new kernel, then that means there is either one or two small steps that are eluding all the devs here, or the people who do know won't say. Either way. What is the big deal with unlocking these phones?

On a galaxy S6 Edge, I would try and infect one of the factory installed apps that get copied back over during a factory reset. They persist on /priv-app.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiraO1:
That's pretty solid, good thinking. Also what we did in the s8+ for permanent stable root was use flashfire to flash a stock system image and a SuperSU.zip before it boot up completely and that created a perfect and stable system root :)

Hi guys, what's the best setting to save battery? I tried to turn off the a72 cores using in the hotplug section in Kernel auditor, and switch the a53's governor from interactive to powersafe, but the phone gets to laggy...

For example when I'm on the train to work listening to music (from internal memory, not spotify o google play music), 3g data on, writing some message on whatsapp or telegram (no games, web surfing or facebook), the battery drops 15-20% and the phone gets hot in about 30 minutes! I'm on the LOS 13 (13/3 official build) now, with theEUI 19s and 20s the result was pretty close. Always auto luminosity set to 40%, and greenify hibernating unused apps like messenger, facebook, instagram etc etc

How Can I set the hotplug to switch off immediatily the a 72 cores when unusd?

Can I use custom governors like fairpark, glassfish etc ect?

Thanks in advance to everyone

This is regarding the Samsung Note 4 Model SM-N910T from T-Mobile.

Recently I got an update from T-Mobile and after that the phone started freezing and restarting. I tried the below steps and I am worried that my phone is of no use now. Kindly let me know if any solutions to solve this problem.

After restarting multiple times, I tried updating the software update from Kies and of no use.

Then I followed the steps in most of the forums, Flash ROM using odin.

Download odin 3.12

Downloaded N910TUVS2EQB1 from different forums(sammobile, samsung-firmware.org)

Updated with AP Button in ODIN.

Result was PASS and after that phone restarted multiple times.

At the end, a menu will display with the message as DM-Vertify verification Failed. Please install DRK first.

Tried downgrading the earlier versions as well, but of no LUCK.

Reached samsung service center and they tried to do the same by using the kies software and said cannot be done anything with it.

I think most of them went through all these steps, can someone in this forum bring back my note 4 in working condition.
