but if the exploit is based on rageagainstthecage method why it works on android 2.2.1 or 2.2.2?
I'm not sure. I've read around other forums and some have tried and gotten success with RATC using their PC. I'm not sure if 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 only breaks S1C and Z4
I'll rather be safe than sorry
If the exploit roots the phone and does bad stuff, what if the phone has already been rooted? Will superuser still prompt us that the specific program is trying to gain root access? I'll try installing a "bad app" that was listed on the thread link you gave xD
that was good... if you can find affected apps... it was completely removed from the market the 2nd day of its release.
i sure do want to try this too... just to test the waters
i guess a complete flash will kill the malware on the other hand *lol*
i thought 2.2.2 was created just to implement this patch?
well thats what wikipedia told me
I didn't notice this when it happened, but it was pointed out in IRC (and not on the forums yet, I believe). The Android kernel and Ubuntu source code has been release in Motorola's usual site. I know some people have been waiting for tun.ko and cifs.ko - here's your chance. I might play around with a few modules myself, but I'm more excited about the Ubuntu source code release.
P.S. Oh, the people who were bellyaching and talking about how HTC was better than Motorola because HTC released kernel source code for some devices? Eat your heart out.

awesome. thank you moto, finally opening some doors, even if it's just a little bit
it would be pretty sweet if they showed canadian customers some love and released source for the Bell Atrix as well :/

I'm certain that for the source they released, it's identical for all released devices. The kernel version isn't going to be different, nor that for any of the webtop packages. Any differences lie elsewhere, and I don't expect Motorola to ever release that source code.

good point. it's just annoying that the frameworks files aren't cross compatible - because almost any ROMs that will be released will rely on framework changes and landing AT&T edited frameworks on a Bell Atrix causes a soft-brick (i've tried, lol)
i guess we just need a canadian dev, or someone who's nice enough to effect some of the current AT&T framework changes that can be made to Bell frameworks.
I would if I knew how, and who knows, maybe i'll try and puzzle through it.
For what it's worth, I believe I pointed it out on irc.

To me, true. Not sure if anybody pointed it out to anybody before me (and they just decided not to tell anybody else). I was thinking about what to do about that, but credit where credit's due, right?
AHHHHH HEEELLSSS YEEAAHHH!!!!!! So what do we do now?
we just need the unlocked bootloader now!
Interesting, assuming the kernel compiles from the source, no extra proprietary files needed, I would be interested getting aufs.ko installed and working. My idea being that all the mods done here could be applied via the fs overlay and leave the stock system partition alone for updates. I know that init.d support is a bit of a hack via recovery.sh, no way to edit init.rc atm, so not sure if an overlay could be applied on the fly without issues while android is loading.

There are entry points into init.rc, but I don't think you can replace it mid-flight. I'm using one of those entry points as it is.
You'd also hit the other problem I'm hitting, of trying to figure out what storage devices are available when. I'm not currently aware of any way to force the SD card to be loaded earlier, for example (even though I'd love that).
I'm sorry for my ignorance.
I am not a developer so I have a question, How will this be beneficial to the Atrix users?
Can this lead to an unlocked bootloader/custom roms?
What else can be gained from releasing the source code?
Thank you.

It will make it easier for tweaks and optimization to occur without access to the bootloader.
It could also mean that there is a possibility for custom Roms for the truly gifted Developers who can do it without modifying the Kernel. Has happened for the Milestone and is currently being undertaken for the Milestone 2 (Droid 2)

Really ???? Why ?? Huawei is too slow in making the Updates , all now is Andoird 5 and P7 is stuck in 4.4.2
It's proberly better staying on 4.4.2 than on lolipop. Many bugs on lolipop.

Wow do you realize android 5 has been out officially for a week or two and pretty much every phone apart from nexus which uses the software directly from Google themselves who make android, still don't run it yet and expect to be running it in 2015.
Not even big teams that use the aosp code directly such as cyanogen or paranoid have got a stable fully functional rom out yet.
It takes time for the 3rd party developers to customize and test android for there devices once the official version gets released as they all use the final source code which only has been out 3-4 weeks.
Also no company apart from Google is much better, Samsung are still rolling out 4.4 to some of there devices with some like the s2 still on 4.2 and end of life presumably others will jump straight to lollipop from 4.3 etc.
Also on rooting what do you wish to achieve by doing so?
Rooting can be very dangerous if you don't know what your doing with devices like ours.
Take a look for example at all the posts in this forum asking to downgrade their l10's from emui 3 to 2 which they upgraded to custom versions etc without thinking and the issues they now have with boot loops and stuff.
If you want to run xposed you can find many people with similar things recently in this forum that can't get it to work.
Also rooting etc you lose the ability for any future updates via OTA and recovery and would need to manually update your device potentially bricking it every single time which bricking means you can no longer use your device and have to buy a new one.
Also are you capible on the PC with using it, command prompt Linux shell etc and doing things like installing Windows and other things.
If not then rooting is not for you.
Also do you know how to code in Linux C etc and know the workings of the Linux os, if not then there is no way you are going to make a custom rom. All you might be able to achieve is just repackaging someone else's ROM with minor edits and even then the tools to do that mainly use Linux to run as it's native windows doesn't have all the stuff Linux has natively in this regard.

Thanks For your Valuable words,
I really enjoyed them and get my mind open
well I do have Good Experience in linux and Command line , C Programming actually didnt go deep with it really ,
But i think I will stick to your opinion and wait ,and while I do so I will learn more about the whole subject ,and maybe increase my knowledge in this Field . (Android Programming - the C Programming - how things work in Android , ROMS , ETC)
but would you mind telling me from where to start ???

Apologies if I came across about abit hard this forum has had allot of impatient people jumping in recently trying to run Emui 3 on l10's then asking to downgrade as you may have noticed the other teams like paranoid are already dealing with lots of people saying there to slow for not having lollipop out within a hour of aosp.
I had the same issue running a custom Minecraft server that people got really angry then refused to play and bad mouth the server if we didn't update that day when update time for us was about a week given the number of customizations we had 41 plugin's in the end, sometimes longer if there were more changes the mod and custom server devs had to deal with.
Emui 3 and lollipop has more bugs more as it's new from what I found I may start a proper consolidated emui talk thread later for those running it opposed to all the l10 when are we getting it out help me downgrade threads.
The place I think you should start is to download the source code for your version from the emui webpage and start analyzing it out of interest.
There's another Dev on here doing the same thing so you might want to contact him for info.
Also there are tools on Linux that easily let you unpack stock image files and the ext container and repack them.
That way you can see the full file structure and how a rom is packaged.
It's good just to see what's inside roms and how the first roms are usually made by a repackage before source.
I will stress the same as above that while these are starting points you would need to know what you are doing and something more hackable like a cheap nexus or or Chinese tab (about $50 USD) with easy upgradable firmware something would be better to start on.
Also grab down the android tools with eclypse for Linux, the sdk virtual device and have a play around making a app and stuff also you can edit the virtual rom safely etc.
The Linux version of the tools is far superior as you can natively mount the virtual ext cards for host file transfer and do other things which you can't under windows.
By ext above I mean the virtual partition files which are either ext 3 or 4 last time I looked.
I'm not a coder myself and I only did basic stuff in the past as I had a Chinese android 2.2 tablet the MID ones as my first device, I used a custom rom on which was just a repack with file system changes with bloat removed etc.
I looked into this out of interest and curiosity, each rom update I repacked it with the apps I used so I didn't need to reinstall them, there was probably a better (proper) way than just unpacking the ext file system from the img adding my apps in to the deploy folder and repacking.
Also I unpacked a APK weather app etc to make changes and use a custom background and others like themes to grab icons and assets this is a good start with looking at app packages and how that all works as well as making your own app in various tools eclipse for one which is the official tool but there's hundreds of android programming softwares online even to do simple stuff as make a stand alone html5 app from a webpage.
The tools on Windows I found were lacking and harder to find for the rom stuff, with Linux it was built into the system a lot of things.
What Linux is the best for doing Android stuff I don't know so that will need to be researched.
As mentioned devices can be dangerous for custom stuff especially newer ones with bootloader security, the older Chinese style ones and some others you could reflash easily from sdcard with a update.img file as they didn't contain that lock out security on boot and debugging.
I nearly bricked a few devices in the past, once having to rely on the bootloader and Android Commander a powerful tool and device terminal to mount the partition rw while in the bootloader to rename a file backI renamed as a test that caused the system to stop booting.
You can still get some tabs that do that about 50 USD on eBay etc I think.

I'd strongly advise that you wait. My experience. You can root v4.4.2 VERY easily using vroot. Wait for lollipop, honestly. Is a nightmare recovering your position if you try to move now.

Hey,
My N5 recently got updated to 6.0 M, and I tried various version of Xposed installer and none of them will work.
It just keep telling : xposed is not compatible with android sdk version 23 or your cpu (armeabi-v7a)
Maybe some one knows the answer?
Thanks in advance.

My Nexus 9 is running on stock AOSP 6.0 already and the sources are synced to the build server (thanks to XDA for providing it). I assume that integrating the hooking mechanism should work relatively smoothless (although there were some bigger architectural changes). However, there are some new things, e.g. JIT and the optimizing compiler that need more attention to ensure that methods which could potentially be hooked are really called instead of being optimized away.
I can't give any timeline for this, it's done when it's done

It's hard to find NULL, I understand you failed.
Be patients, rovo's working on it..
This is a real possibility.
Have managed to compile and sort out some auto build scripts (work to do).
Need to get hold of some TWRP flash-able binaries. Current device state is bootloader locked and unrooted. Waiting for return period to expire........... Hoping current rooted users here can answer a few questions and provide any info so I can progress until I have rooted and personally flashed the kernel.
There are no promises or guarantees here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73794953&postcount=6
EDIT: waited a week, now applied for bootloader unlock code, unfortunately I have to wait 14 days after creating Huawei ID............ stupid !! I don't wish to unlock via any other method.
Might lose interest in that time .......... and work probably get in the way.
Don't really wish to move on blindly if it does not flash, nor stable as stock build. I need to flash on my own device first. In the mean time, I'll get my auto build scripts in order and do a little research. Was hoping to unlock and pull running STOCK official 307 boot.img from device. Downloaded the official firmware package from Huawei, but couldn't find any boot.img ......
We will be very thankful if you could develop a kernel for us. Hopefully you won't lose your interest on it!

What I require is :
boot.img partition size. Check /proc/partitions ............. I'm not sure which it is on DL09 device. I don't want to build a boot.img larger than the actual partition. So need a Huawei user to point his out.
boot directory. check something like /dev/block/platform/_________/by-name/boot ?
Require a stock unmodified boot.img for 307 firmware
As I said, I'm unrooted for the next 14, now 13 days.......... Obtaining the above will assist to finish my build environment, and auto build scripts etc. Then can start on a few commits to fix some build warnings.
Help me to help you
Edit: installed the 'disc info' app, and still no joy to locate the boot.img directory and partition size. Will have to wait another couple weeks unless someone helps out.
Hi!
I just downloaded and compiled the nougat kernel source, but the repacked kernel failed to boot. I'm not sure wheather I should make some modifications prior compiling. I have the wifi version with C100B302. Will investigate when I have more time. @Lazing_About are your sources available on github? I'll push mine once I can sort out the issues.
Edit:
The initial huawei sources are already up in case anyone wants to clone or contribute.

Unfortunately no one provided what I hoped for so I could continue. I presume lack of interest, so whilst waiting for my 14 days, I have decided to buy a Note 8 (considered OnePlus5) and have spent time developing a private kernel for that. Work commitments have now got in the way with that too. At least I managed to patch to the latest Linux mainstream and quite a few patches too. Haven't yet rooted that either (of flashed). So I'll be out of action for all October afraid. My sources are still private until actual collaboration or public release. No need for anyone pulling / cherry-picking **** that is unstable if I haven't tested (at least method) first. Hopefully I'll have some time next month to take a further look at both projects, and eventually filter that work here
