Quadrooter - G4 General

So apparently our phone is vulnerable to a newly founded exploit being dubbed "Quadrooter" that allows for privilege escalation. Do any of you think that this could lead to root on marshmallow if used right?
EDIT: Link to CNET article - http://www.cnet.com/news/quadrooter-security-flaws-said-to-affect-over-900-million-android-devices/

Saw this today. Curious to know as well. Not that this might be any use for me anymore as I'm still waiting to see if LG will fix my bootloop issue.

That's unfortunate. I fear it may be any day for me. We're there any signs before it hit the hay?
I am curious how they claim to be able to gain root access on multiple phones running marshmallow. DM Verity in the kernel is supposed to stop a phone with modifications from voting, so I am not sure how it's supposed to work, unless it's only some form of temp root. Kind of corps of this will be the next 'towel root'. Probably not, but I could hope I guess.

I have the ATT model and would love rooted MM. Hopefully this vulnerability can be used to our benefit.

I hope my H815t could be rooted by that

I have H815T and it's rooted, bootloader is unlocked and running Genysis 4.3 with G5 theme.
But I found the four vulnerabilities in my phone too.
What to do now?

The vulnerabilities are because your processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon). So, you can't do anything until LG implement arrangements in an update (OTA, KDZ).

Yes you are right.
But my device is rooted and unlocked and OTA updates are disabled. So how would a user like me gets his security patch or such kind of updates?

You must flash a KDZ (for your G4 model) with LGUP. You'll lose root access, and OTA updates will be enabled. Or you can wait, and flash the KDZ with the fixes.

Thanks for your help.
Actually I have a stock marshmellow rooted rom which I flashed it a day ago and OTA updates are enabled on that.
Another question, where do the updates store? On rom or some where in the recovery partition etc?
Why I'm asking this, I like Genysis rom so if I restore my device to Stock rooted 6.0 and get the air updates in september etc, will the updates remain on the device if I flash the rom(back to Gynesis)?

You can't apply a official OTA with a rooted device without a error.
And the updates are in the firmware (aka ROM), so if you change de ROM, you will lose all updates.

What to do?
Install drweb antivirus for check apps before install.
This is the unic risk i found.

Ah! Stay protected:
I found in Settings.apk that this app access internet, for ... for example here, when i connect to wifi or 3g, my lightningWall is not on time delay to impess certain connections, so slowly i will forbid internet in some another apps by force , this app begun deny connection because some chitty google domains are included by me on the etc/hosts . So, is only prevent this app access internet , for security, this may gain privileges
I rebuilded with Lucky Patcher with denied INTERNET.permission in manifest.
Rebuild your Settings.apk, because this may gain privileges.

Stagefright updates.

Just read that LG is planning on monthly updates for security reasons....
http://phandroid.com/2015/08/06/lg-...ey-too-will-release-monthly-security-updates/
Wish I didn't unlock? Or are we going to have those patches here available?
They better should enable bootloader unlocking for everyone.
Then each LG user can flash his own ROM and solve security issues very quickly with the community.
Nice announcement, but the stagefrighter hole is gaping and gaping...

you have unlocked the bootloader, so you have a custom recovery and could of course install any rom .
Sure at the moment there are not a lot roms available, but the official ones are however posted...
beside that, i don't think that unlocking the bootloader (and rooting the phone) will disable the OTA feature...

the bootloader itself does not change anything to the OTA process
but changing the recovery may block the OTA from working ... the phone may download the update but the custom recovery may not understand it :silly:
but most of the time, people find a way to create a flashable zip to make an update for custom recovery

Yeah they couldn't OTA as they had rooted, not because they had unlocked their bootloader.
OTA are still made available to people with unlocked bootloaders, just not to people who have rooted. At the end of the day you can just find the KDZ and flash it to update or make an update zip to do it from custom recovery.

That might be right, but as they said a simple unroot wouldn't work.
And BTW what is the point in unlocking the bootloader when you don't want to root?
I mean custom rom maybe but they are usually rooted as well for obvious reasons etc.

Alright so I have a problem with the touch functionality of my phone. I have an LG G4 811 T-mobile variant. The new update is supposed to resolve that but I'm not sure how to update on a rooted device with twrp installed (update stagefrieght). I'm looking for a zip file and i have not managed to find it at all. Could someone help? Also if this is misplaced please devs move it or point me in the right direction to which my question can be answered.

Yes, it worked perfectly fine for my LG G4 H815 unlocked! Now on V10d-EUR-XX. Stagefright is fixed. ****ing sim issue (com.android.phone crashes, does NOT restart itself) remains. Support is worthless. Found a workaround myself.
LG lied about that updates. They never repaired these bugs and now it has About 50 stagefright etc vurnerabilities.
What updates you say? I'm still on V20D since January LoL LG is a joke.

Marshmallow

LG is most likely developing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system and may release it for its G3 and G4 flagships via an over-the-air (OTA) update, in the coming weeks. Although the update schedule is yet to be revealed.
The company's Korean support site has listed the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for some variants of the LG G3 and LG G4 flagships, which include the LG G3 F400S, F400K and F400L as well as the LG G4 F500S, F500K and F500L. All these variants are currently running on Android Lollipop operating system.

Also a 6 month+ wait for Telstra to do their "testing". Unless we can simply flash it the way we do now with locked bootloaders and injecting root.
I'm excited for the camera app from the V10 being ported over!!
I hope it has better power managment..battery gets warm to hot with some apps and lag is still a problem on non rooted phone..
I'm hoping that it'll only be a couple weeks before MM is released to the G4, but I'd be happy if it's before the new year. It would make sense to have it out before Xmas so people might buy the G4 as a gift.
I guess not too many of the general public are going to care/know about the latest release of android, whereas people do want something that can handle iOS 9 or whatever version they're on now.
Here's hoping for a fairly quick release and a screen saturation control!
Amazed at how much the price of the G4 has dropped. I bought mine for £360 three weeks ago and it's dropped another £42 since! Probably £299 by Xmas. Why bother waiting for a One Plus/Nexus etc.?

Possibly, but at the same time, possibly not.
The current low effort root method actually uses a bootloader exploit which COULD not be patched by the new version (This is a BIG IF). If this is the case, we'd be able to use the same exact method as before to inject root.

The M update will be hell for root on bootloader locked devices....Lets assume they close the initial exploit used in Low Effort Root, that means a new exploit must be found (which certainly is possible but will take time). The problem is right now you can't root on M without a custom kernel, the stock M kernel doesnt play nice with SuperSU (causes bootloops), also by default M restricts read/write access to the system partition even with root. So again a custom kernel is needed to defeat these. If you have a bootloader locked device its going to be very difficult to root your device on M. Hopefully the devs can find something but if you need root best move on to a bootloader unlockable device/variant.

M will likely require a new bootstack, guaranteed that LG patches the backdoor, i'd be very surprised if they left it open. Even if you inject the current SU binary/SuperSU it doesnt play nicely with a stock compiled M kernel, causes bootloops on Nexus Devices, so that means you need a custom kernel unless Chainfire can figure out how to make it work with the default M kernel.

I'm not really worried about a root method for M... There will be a method by the time M comes out for our phone.
The current exploit, I'd also be surprised if they didn't patch it(as I mentioned) , but then again, I've seen exploits not be patched by major versions, so it's not impossible. Only a release will tell us.

I'm not as optimistic as you. Yes, the exploit we used to root may still be open (after all, they left it open on the G3 -> G4). But a new problem is present: Starting with Android 6.0 all kernels now use a forceencrypt flag. Even all Nexus users have had to flash a custom kernel which flips the flag to noforceencrypt before they could root - that was never the case in the past and Nexus users could just flash SuperSU on the stock kernel and be done with it. Not anymore. Google is locking things down in the interest of security.
You can try it yourself if you have a Nexus. Flash SuperSU on the stock 6.0 kernel. You'll bootloop as the kernel won't allow the system to boot while SuperSU is installed. Only way to root is to flash a custom kernel with the proper modifications to allow root.
The reason this is a problem for us G4 users is, since we have locked bootloaders (with the exception of a few international units), we cannot flash custom kernels. No kernel flashing = no way to flip noforceencrypt in the kernel = no root on M Sure, you can maybe find a way to get SuperSU and the root binaries in there, but when you try to boot you'll just bootloop as the system won't let you in.
Maybe a workaround will be found, but this new kernel security is a seriously blow to our ability to attain root on the G4 running M.

Yea with the current changes that Google made with M at the kernel level bootloader locked devices have very little hope of being rooted, the reason why we can still root on nexus devices is because our bootloaders are unlockable you take that away and we would be in the same boat, this release of android has pretty much signaled the end of me buying any carrier phones that i know will be locked down. its simply too much hassle for most devs to bother with finding new exploits in the coming android versions.

[DISCUSSION] System-less technology

As many of you should know, Super SU and Xposed framework have recently developed a new technique called "system-less installation" on Android 6.0. The purpose for it is said to be letting user to receive OTA from the OEM. However, when I am in quite a belief that this technique will enable us receive and install OTAs, suddenly I thought of a problem which many posts in this sub-forum have had mentioned, which is HTC OTAs requires a clean and untouched system in order to install OTA successfully. And my status in HBOOT still says "Modified" and "Unlocked". My question is can I really receive and install OTAs ( if any ) onto my device with the two system-less patches and the status in HBOOT remain unchanged?

I think your bootloader status say moodified because you edited the system while your phone is S-ON
You can flash the RUU and you will get the official status back
And the Unlocked bootloader does not affect OTA installition
My phone is S-Off and i have modified system but the status still official

Is Xposed is officially supported with system-less?
HTC OTA checks integrity of system files before it starts update process. I don't know if it's checks boot partition. I think it may be work. But after update you will have stock boot partition and you will have to root again.

Xposed is NOT YET officially supported with systemless arch but rovo89 has shown his interest in implementing this feature into the official channel. As up to my knowledge, there are su.img and xposed.img under /data wich may be served as auto recovery after OTA update. Well I have to get around the Xposed General longer to try my best to gather as much info. as I can so that I can have a throughout understanding of the whole situation.
Btw, I have S-OFFed my phone ( finally ) at a local retail shop for about HKD$100 ( about USD$12 ) . Finally I can modify my build.prop and /system! Whoa!

Systemless allows you to install OTAs released by the OEM as it wont modify /system and so it can pass OTAs system completeness test so as to install them successfully.
You may head to the unofficial systemless xposed post for more details.

Just got a software update

Looks to be some type of security updates.
Just popped on mine. Installed the update.
Matches this Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CPG2
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-note-4-update/
Kernel 3.10.40
Android Version 6.0.1
Android Patch Level September 1,2016
Baseband Version N910VVRU2CPG2
Will this update break Foxfi for Verizon Note 4?
Anyone know if PG2 does anything to the bootloader to prevent rolling back?

It appears to be a boot.img update. Flashfire rejected it as a safe OTA and I proceeded to freeze System Updates with Titanium Backup to eliminate future notifications. A bootloader update for sure.
Hopefully someone can tell if it's locking the bootloader down to prevent downgrading or the bootloader unlock method. Is there a way to freeze the update prompts if I'm not rooted yet? Just got the phone and haven't had a chance to unlock and root this bad boy.

buy package disabler. it is well worth the $1 price tag
Use Debloater, then freeze SDM.apk.
Root not required, very easy.
No, it does not break Foxfi.
Could someone please upload the ota zip file
Could you provide more details on how to do this please? I download it and disabled the package listed in the post below yours but I still get the stupid notification to update. Thanks
Edit. Oops, meant to quote hwaa18, not sure why it didn't let me, thanks
Nobody around here anymore?

I'm relatively new here, with regard to uploads. I am on a vzw Note 4, running Jasminerom 7.0, with an unlocked bootloader. I don't even have an SDM, as it wasn't present on the ROM, however I found a post for shutting off Samsung updates that required shutting off two system update modules, and one or two other software and security modules. I'm beginning to think Samsung is in collusion with the carriers to make our phones obsolete, and prevent further mods. If you let me know how and where to upload to you, I can send you the file, if you still want it.

Thank you so much, I already sold my Note 4 and got s7 edge till they release note 8.

What happens if I update being rooted?

Hey guys, what happens if I update while I get rooted? My phone suggests me the 139.50 update, but I'm rooted, will it work? Do I need to root it again after the update?
Thank you I'm sorry for the stupid questions. This is my first post with this account, I'm not that newbie but I've never had a Motorola phone.

Since you're rooted, I'm assuming you probably have a custom recovery like TWRP installed.
Any official update (OTA) will work only with a stock Android recovery installed.
This means no, you cannot have an OTA update once you root. However, there is a thread on this forum somewhere which has a very reliable but slightly complicated method of getting OTA updates even of rooted.
You may refer to that. And ya, welcome to the XDA family!

Thank you so much. It looks way harder than I thought. You need to update each version til the latest one. SMH. I'm not trying to be spoon fed here. But do you remember the keywords to this thread?
LOL it seems like it's gonna be a long day to update my phone.
