I am unable to post links here. The information is on the short wikipedia page dedicated to Shedun.
Based on the wikipedia article it seems to be a fairly easy process to acquire Shedun and it claims to auto root the infected device. Is it viable to infect my device with the virus and then later flash a custom rom to remove it?
I haven't found any other posts on the subject so my apologies if this has already been asked. Samsung s6 edge plus with verizon carrier.

The S6Edge+ is different from the S6 Edge, therefore I find this an inappropriate place to post such information. Moreover, although some root techniques used Trojans, unless the Trojan was specifically designed for said purpose, it is likely a piece of software that should be avoided. If a new root exploit were discovered for this device, do you not think the community would be discussing it extensively?
Thank you.
I don't have anything to do today. I'll see how easy it is to decompile and read the code to see how it works. Our community us dead so it's on us to look for anything

There's no direct link to the malware itself. It's packaged in one of those shady apps.

If you haven't heard all ready Verizon is tracking down root users and limiting there data or fully suspending it so watch out. But we have to fight back against them by hiding Verizon from seeing that we are proudly rooted and some people have said the would sue Verizon. Please do whatever you can to fight against this.
Also motorola and htc are going to start doing the same.
How are they "supposedly" tracking down root users?
Why would they have any desire to do that?

because they want people to pay for there 3g hotspot instead of people using wifi tether and if they catch people I think they earn money somehow. I am trying to research into that.
In order for them to do this it would take too much time and money. They would use more money trying to catch rooters than they would save by catching rooters. It's simply not going to happen. If they're going to make "software" to do this, how would it work? What software could they possibly send out to find out if someone is rooted? Yes Android is trying to make their software a little less "open," however, no one is trying to "track down root users." It would be too complicated and would violate their own "open source" policies. If this is even remotely true, what is your reference for posting this? What is your source?

Well if you're talking about this post:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/content/974-google-s-android-unopen-source-project.html
It says nothing about "tracking down root users" or anything about tethering.
Would be nice if you could post the url to the article. Your post is misleading, I'm not sure if it's because information is missing from your post, or because this is just your opinion and you're wrongly stating it as fact. At any rate, I've read the above post and it says nothing about using software to track down root users (which is ridiculous) or anything about making people pay to tether. Having free tether apps and paid tether apps on Android is a very big selling point for them which constantly gives them better sales figures than evil Apple.
Thread is full of FAIL
I think we're done here.
I'm really new to all of this. But, from all of the info I have been able to find here, it doesn't appear that I can currently root the ATT Note 3 N900A on 4.4.2 running baseband NC2. Am I wrong, or am I just lost in the mountains of threads found on this forum?
Instead of spamming the same question throughout the 'mountains of threads' try r-e-a-d-i-n-g them.

I have been reading them. The only issue I have found is conflicting information. I had to do research to find out the difference between MJ5 and NC2. I had no idea there were difference basebands for the same phone on the same carrier.

Before this train slides WAY off course I'm going to close this because all the answers are here... I would add that if it all seems to complicated it might be better to not do anything to that $600 plus phone... Thread closed...
I feel Linux / android / XDA gas always been an open community. I feel if everyone had access to not only root, but HOW (m?)fastboot is tricked into uploading custom firmware, we would all get true root faster... So should I leak what I know?
Input from mods, or other respected contributors would be most helpful.

Lincoln Douglas debate
You pose a very interesting intersection of values
I appreciate the dev for all his hard work and support the idea of him being paid for the work I already bought mofo so I feel like I have supported the Dev which makes me feel good
But all I want now is wp/off and even better an unlocked boatloader. That's why I vote yes
But I think its important not to pose this as a black or white decision because the poll is much more complex than that
A true Lincoln Douglas debate needs to be had on this lol

Mofo is a product and the dev owns that. On the other end, the underlying method isn't proprietary. I would say release whatever you have.
mofo secrets released?

Why put it out into the public so Motorola can patch it?
Let's hear it!
Yeah, release it, so people wouldnt have to pay 20$ to get to flash over mfastboot.

I would not release a way for people to do it but the actual method behind it and the exploit used. This could help push development for the turbo which is something I am sure everyone would enjoy. That being said, I would recommend waiting for lollipop before releasing it to the world just in case moto/big red dont know how to do this. Whatever you choose to do please don't release it such that anyone can up and use the exploit as an executable per se because thats not fair to the creators. I vote yes
P.s. I already bought mofo and would pay full price again for an unlocked BL
My heart says yes
my head says no
just post the code, someone clever enough will figure it out what to do with it, OR DONT RELEASE IT AND MOTOROLA WOULDNT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND IT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE TO ROOT ANDROID 5.1 WITH THE SAME METHOD

Too late, I believe motorola is all ready aware of this exploit and how it works, and will have it fixed by next software update.

nothing to release, authors notified qualcomm/motorola, the details are in the commit history in CAF. Its not secret, no point exists to overly vague forum posts about it.
SaschaElble is mistaken, mfastboot isnt tricked into flashing anything.
If its no secret then it should be disclosed in XDA so a free version can be made. And if mfastboot isn't tricked then "how" is it done? Link to this commit you speak of?

I feel like there is a bigger divide between people with the real skills like @jcase, hash, and dhacker and everyone else that claims to be a dev than there used to be. I guess that is a function of how complex and secure android has become. Pretty soon only nexus phones will have any possible development.

Maybe we should let @atl4ntis know that we love to see him back in whatever XDA thread or XDA (sub)forum. Not only for his work, but also because he is a helpfull and nice person.
Possibly his XDA account is still active.
We could mention him in our posts so he knows we do not forget. At this moment we have to respect his decision because he is hurt.

The mention might work unless like most of the more senior members he has mention notifications turned off.
Can anybody please tell me what happened?
His rom is perfect as it's stock with just enough amount of customization.
Sad that he left.

As I understand it there was a dispute with another dev and that lead to a dispute about whether or not his rom was original work. XDA moved it to the non original section and he decided to abandon the project.

Here in the Netherlands @atl4ntis was popular. The Dutch press praised him for his 'cataclysm mod'.
The bulk of the problem was that he claimed his work was all original, yet refused to provide evidence to back his claims. Before anyone starts in on the "Apache license doesn't require sources" line, I know he was within his rights to refuse to show his sources. However, if you don't show sources, how can you reasonably expect anyone to believe your work is original?
The XDA staff made the right call here. If you refuse to prove your work is original, your work doesn't get to be located in the Original Android Development forum. In any event, this will be a moot point going forward as all new devices will only have one development section. That said, the mods and/or admin should be going through all device forums that have both an Android Development and Original Android Development subforum, and merging the two subforums into one.

I use uMatrix, but bought ad-free to support XDA.
Setting up XDA Ad-free
Here is one possible reason there may be 'so few with xda ad-free' - as a new member of xdadevelopers forums, I initially found it difficult to find out: (i) how to send feedback about Pixel Dust OS for my Pixel (said to be welcomed), (ii) how to post questions and maybe add some helpful information about OTA updates in the right forum (partly to see how xda worked before paying for xda ad-free), and (iii) how to obtain and pay for xda ad-free. I almost gave up, but I think I have done it now (fingers crossed).
