Guest brit07 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 If you want to go to hardware hacks, we can flash the flash directly and overwrite the bootloader easily. The point is, it's not practical. i know but it may be the only way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domenico lamberti Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 would a JTAG flash, overwrite the bootloader once, or could you permanently override it then install a custom recovery etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rickywyatt Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 it would over wirte the bootloader but you would still need the engineering bootloader to flash the you would be able to flash an unsigned recovery and boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest domenico lamberti Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 awesome, so if a JTAG flash would be possible, a person would be able to offer it as a service, i mean i cant do it, but anyone with any enough knowledge, in this economy could make a mint :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ben1066 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Wrong, JTAG hardware costs very little. You can get a basic JTAG adaptor for £30, or even less if you have a parallel port. The issue is finding the points on the PCB, it's unlikely there is a JTAG header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domenico lamberti Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 so we just need someone brave enough to take on apart (or someone with a bricked one) to find the headers if there are any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shootomanUK Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Here's a list of adb commands from intel if anyone understands how to use them: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/application-debug-android/ i wanted to try to push the su binary to the device but im lost lol :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ben1066 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 sorry was looking at the wind river intel jtag debugger and i wouldnt fancy paying for it Ah right yea. The debugger is likely expensive, JTAG itself is open however and the flashing part is fairly standard. Any old JTAG will do for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest domenico lamberti Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 i'll tell you something, though it might not be fun for us at all, you have to give it to these guys for the level of encryption etc, this thing is a bitch to crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fraxos Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Somehow I get the feeling that all this talk of an unlocked bootloader and asking them if they could included root access made them look twice at their current ROM and go back to the drawing board so they could close any loopholes...

Guest rickywyatt Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 If you ask me the xolo 2.3.7 rom don't even give you access to data/local/tmp with the orange rom I had access to /data/local/tmp and /data/fota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
