Android 1.x/2.x HTC Wildfire Local Root Exploit

2011-02-02 15:15:11

/* android 1.x/2.x the real youdev feat. init local root exploit.
*
*
* Modifications to original exploit for HTC Wildfire Stage 1 soft-root (c) 2010 Martin Paul Eve
* Changes:
* -- Will not remount /system rw (NAND protection renders this pointless)
* -- Doesn't copy self, merely chmods permissions of original executable
* -- No password required for rootshell (designed to be immediately removed once su binary is in place)
*
* Revised usage instructions:
* -- Copy to /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid and /sqlite_stmt_journals/su
* -- chmod exploid to 755
* -- Execute the binary
* -- Enable or disable a hotplug item (wifi, bluetooth etc. -- this could be done automatically by an app that packaged this exploit) -- don't worry that it segfaults
* -- Execute it again to gain rootshell
* -- Copy to device (/sqlite_stmt_journals/) + chown/chmod su to 04711
* -- Delete original exploid
* -- Use modified Superuser app with misplaced su binary
*
* Explanatory notes:
* -- This is designed to be used with a modified superuser app (not yet written) which will use the su binary in /sqlite_stmt_journals/
* -- It is important that you delete the original exploid binary because, otherwise, any application can gain root
*
* Original copyright/usage information

* (C) 2009/2010 by The Android Exploid Crew.
*
* Copy from sdcard to /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid, chmod 0755 and run.
* Or use /data/local/tmp if available (thx to ioerror!) It is important to
* to use /sqlite_stmt_journals directory if available.
* Then try to invoke hotplug by clicking Settings->Wireless->{Airplane,WiFi etc}
* or use USB keys etc. This will invoke hotplug which is actually
* our exploit making /system/bin/rootshell.
* This exploit requires /etc/firmware directory, e.g. it will
* run on real devices and not inside the emulator.
* I'd like to have this exploitet by using the same blockdevice trick
* as in udev, but internal structures only allow world writable char
* devices, not block devices, so I used the firmware subsystem.
*
* !!!This is PoC code for educational purposes only!!!
* If you run it, it might crash your device and make it unusable!
* So you use it at your own risk!
*
* Thx to all the TAEC supporters.
