Verizon Tracking Rooted Phones [Motorola Droid]

The kernel hackers p3droid announced via Twitter that he had discovered a flaw in the encryption mechanism of the platform “Sholes” from Motorola. This allows that data to their own system, boot image, and recovery module can be loaded. This vulnerability is documented in a special web site. Due to negligence by Motorola invitation, the key now is not more publicized, but all the info was leaked to the project FreeMyMoto. Failure to request we can also work as a confirmation of Motorola shows that the gap exists.


It is now not that P3droid not try, Motorola information from the gap. According to their own statement, he was on 20 December at the U.S. group approached. Once again in February after he asked for a reaction and has issued an ultimatum, which passed without response since March 20.

What does this mean for us? In the first place that the Motorola Android smartphone is basically the “open”, even if they are equipped with a bootloader is encrypted. First to take advantage of the gap will not be long coming. We hope that Motorola Milestone is enriched in the coming days with ClockworkMod Recovery, the kernel and a custom firmware (including CyanogenMod).
