Hey XDA- Members !
I hope my question wasn't already asked or is stupid( I sadly have no experience with programming and understanding for our loved mobile OS)
So, would it be possible to use the Stagefright exploit for rooting Android phones, specially the S5 on Android 5.0 ( best would be without triggering knox ) ?
In the Demo Video for the Stagefright Bug from Zimperium Labs was shown, how on a non-rooted Smartphone was gained Root-Acces in an ADB-Shell.
I saw a Thread on XDA where plans for rooting a Fire TV Stick with Stagefright Exploit where explained and the mentioned Video was mentioned, too.
I hope I didn't waste Space on the Servers on the XDA-Servers.

So I have been searching around on the forums and only one post about this phone. here
First of all I've read that Kingroot can root the phone even if it says the phone is unsupported, if anyone has tried it please report what happened after a week into the root (permanent, problems with root permission etc.). here
Secondly , I have seen the TWRP recovery available for the device even though it has issues here. Will the phone be supported ever, at all, in any way? I know its new and not so popular but even the small minority that has the phone wants to get a taste of a rom since it most probably wont get lollipop or marshmallow even with the new cpu.
Please bear in mind that this thread is for all of the s4 mini plus users to contribute and help with rooting etc if they are more skilled. Personally im kind of a newb and i want to learn.
Have a good day
I own the device, and rooting with king root works perfectly, and I can advice anyone rooting this device with kingroot, to install supersume, it replaces kingroot with SuperSU, easily at a click of a button, as I know most people prefer the Superb interface and options!
Could someone make a performance benchmark?

The 3D tests were around 1fps
Where can I get the GT-i9192i and GT-i9195i?

Hello all,
Just wanted to convey my days experience to the masses (without knowing exactly how already prevalent my experiences are in the forum).
Decided to flash Marshmallow today (sick of waiting for OTA), root, custom recovery, and be awesome.
After following the stickied all-in-one nexus 6 guide, and several hours of repeating various steps... I realized the method is out-of-date for Marshmallow.
Instead ended up following these instructions using the new beta of superuser. Worked nicely.

Happy rooting all!
Just so you are aware, the title of that link is very misleading. It is, in fact, root for devices that SHIP with an enforcing selinux policy (although technically 5.0 did as well...), not that his modifications actually *KEEP* it that way. At least not across the board.
Hello everybody,
I'm using a Galaxy SII i9100 with an omnirom mod and just learned that Google released an update for android 4.4.4 (which is the latest omnirom mod for my phone) called "LMY49G" to fix some security issues. Does anyone know if theres a plan to develop an appropriate update for the omnirom mod (and therewith also for my Galaxy S2)?
Thanks for every answer.
Google actually did a KitKat security update?
Interesting. We did do some KK security updates, will need to talk to the team about this one for devices that never saw L or later.
Right, relying on my information that update called "LMY49G" has been released for android 4.4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.1; for version 6.0 and 6.0.1 the release is called "2016-02-01", I think its the day of the release. As far as I know the update has only been released for google nexus devices and for blackberries with android. It should fix some critical security issues. Maybe that information is helpful?

That doesn't make sense on further thought...
Anything 4.4 would have a K prefix to the build. Something starting with L would be a 5.x build.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-02-01.html says 4.4.4 for "updated versions" for some items, however - I can't find an appropriate release tag for these anywhere in AOSP.
Some of them appear to be some of the old Stagefright vulnerabilities which we already backported fixes for...
God the documentation for this update is confusing/poor...
Okay, today I got a notice, that there's been another update called "LMY49H". Again its been released for Nexus and Blackberry Android devices to fix some critical security issues. And also again its called LMY49H (obviosly just the last letter changed) for android 4.4.4, 5.0.2 (thats also different this time) and 5.1.1 but "2016-03-01" for versions 6.0 and 6.0.1. So I think this time its from the beginning of march. You're sure all of those problem have been fixed in the omnirom mod before?
Thanks for your help!
So I am aware that SELinux is a thing , and while I understand it adds security to a certain degree (I don't know specifics but I don't want to delve too far into that), I also know that Towelroot for my old S5 was made because of a Kernel vulnerability .
What I'm saying is that I know SELinux has changed to fully enforcing since 5.0 , but could kernel vulnerabilities still be exploited before security updates and firmware patches ?
If so , will this do any good for root ? http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2016-0728/
Bumping this only because I saw this:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-1805
Google said that this can cause root and that users (G Flex users specifically) have already used it for exploitation . Any chance ? Someone here has to be knowledgeable on this stuff .

Hey, long time no see... I had to sell my xperia z3 last night, so I bought this XT1254 Droid Turbo.... Which is on MCG24.25-5-5 Build.... Android version 6.0.1 Security Patch level January 1, 2017....
I searched around here and found some complex methods for twrp and root, so I thought about posting here... I already did root Z3 unlocked it's bootloader and stuf..
So Is there any less complex method for these things? I don't wanna unlock bootloader for camera quality sake but I'd only like to know about rooting, twrp and a fast android 7 custom rom which is fast / battery saver, supports xposed etc if possible.. (Links would be useful, if someone can) So... Please point me in the right direction..
Else i'm staying stock. Thank you very much in advance.
Anyone???
