Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I'll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don't brick the device.
The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting... :D
Oh whoops I thought you were 0v0 🤦🏼♀️ Thanks anyways though :D
Hey, thanks, but that's the A5x, a newer Android tablet. Different hard and software
Fantastic.
Since the zip also includes a bunch of shell scripts, I think it's possible I could also just install ssh directly - but the image will certainly make experimenting in a VM the safer option until something works out... ^^
Oh man, I can't wait to get home from work on Friday (currently stuck on the other side of the country 🫠)
Edit: also, can I somehow buy you a beer/coffee somewhere digitally?
No way!! You're the goat. I spent the day trying to get behind how the cracking worked by making simple examples, and you just... Solve the puzzle :D
Awesoms, thank you so much!! I'll appreciate update this thread if this leads to something :D
Theoretically... But this is 5 levels of knowledge above my head, I fear :D
I own the goddamn device, I should be able to do whatever I want with it...
The device, if connected, reads as mtp. Can't reformat.
Yeah, good idea. They added a network "mirroring" functionality at some point, so SOMETHING is listening on some port.
Oh, wow. I am so giving this a try. Huge kudos for checking the zip itself, btw! Thank you :D
Just for clarification though, do I need 12 bytes of the original content or of the compressed (but unencrypted) byte-representation of the zip file?
Edit: Ah, the repo links the paper. Reading now :)
Yeah, should have gone with that one... :D
