Samsung Galaxy S 4 Bootloader Unlocked 2013 |
Dan Rosenberg has done it again… Well, he claims to have unlocked the Samsung Galaxy S 4
bootloader, giving only this slightly blurry image as proof. But anyone
who’s been paying attention will know that Dan, aka XDA Recognized
Developer djrbliss, is good for his word.
The news comes via a set of Twitter posts over the last few days. The proof photo was posted about five hours ago, with zero details on how he did it. But if you hit his feed
and look back a few posts, the picture becomes a little more clear. Two
posts dated on April 29th give cryptic clues, literally. He mentions
that RSA-2048 is used to sign the kernel and recovery. Looking at a
quick Wikipedia reference on this key length tells
us that this security is estimated to be uncrackable until at least the
year 2030. So how the heck did he do it? Thus far, we know it was not
due to a leak:
Is this the result of a leak?
No. I would not associate myself with the publication of confidential materials that are proprietary to these companies, regardless of the fact that I disagree with their policies on device openness. Plus, where’s the fun in that?
Watch the XDA Portal for more news as this develops. And if you’ve
