I guess if you don't know what a rootkit is it could seem like one.
This is the calmest, most insulting thing you could have possibly said.
Thanks, often that's what I'm going for.
Yeah. This meme makes no sense..
Let's avoid misinforming people please. The reality is bad enough, no need to start lying and deceiving
Memes can still inform (and misinform)
Yes specially if people don't know what a rootkit is. They'll think "ah, so this is an example of a rootkit, it must be because it is upvoted a lot, nice meme *upvotes"
But the meme has the right intention. Google WILL deploy a rootkit to make it make sense
I am painfully aware
Not fully, without affecting stability
Stock roms may not play well with microG signature spoofing :P
Which phone?
Which android version?
It should be supported by magisk I think
It's actually riskier with a custom recovery since it's not officially supported by the root solution developer(magisk in this case)
You can, with fastboot
If you have a mediatek device, there's sp flash tool
Btw you got some gsi potential
While WEI definitely doesn’t qualify as a rootkit itself, any useful attester is going to require aspects of one - whether it’s a phone asserting that it hasn’t been rooted, or a PC running with approved SecureBoot and TPM keys.
There’s no way to say this one way or the other until it’s implemented.
However to “verify” a system from a hardware level to any decent level of accuracy would require kernel level access.
Technically you’re correct, until you’re not.
That's still not what a rootkit is. Lol
