Hi All
I am trying to understand about rooting and while looking into the XFACTOR exploit, there is a pwn unix executable file that is used. Can anyone tell me what it is and how I can look into its source?
Thanks!

its the su binary
Edit: you stated it was a Unix executable. So I'm going to assume you know a bit about computers. But you asked how to view the source code...
Assume it was written in C/C++.
How do you expect to decompile that.
Your thread is honestly a little sketchy.

i'm trying to find any information about subject?
I guess it's possible to compile a linux-kernel for similar device.
Thank's for any information.
Check out this page in the Wiki section of this site:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
Once you have installed it though, do any apps actually support linux?
I think its more of a "I can do this look!" thing than one that offers any practical benefit.

Well, it's pretty cool to get access to shell and programming languages like a Perl, C. And helpful to controll my Unix servers&services.

which of them is mine? i guess it should be named like a Prophet? but there's no such section.
PS: beg pardon, i'm newbie in that subject. i use my device only about one week
I dont think a newbie should be installing linux on their device. You will find you can run linux programs but not actual pocket pc apps. It really is only for the hardcore linux zeolots.

There's a nice little project for you...build a Xanadux (Linux) kernel for the Prophet....

hm, interesting ... is there windows binary emulation on linux? like a Wine or something?
It is possible... The Prophet's hardware is similar to the Wizard's. So you can boot the Kernel of the Linwizard-Project and, if you are a programmer, help the project ;-).

It will be possible to port the dynamic linker/loader from wine to wince,
and write a replacement coredll.dll from win32 finctions implemented in wine.
Since wince is implemented in a much cleaner way than usual windows,
running wine on linux-arm is easier than on linux-x86.

Jarr. Maybe some people want to run an inherently insecure, memory leaking and royalty money squeezing environment on their computer ? I don't.
Hi,
I'm new here and have been looking at some tutorials on rom kitchens and rom ediing for my HTC Wildfire. I was jst wondering how to port, say, the android 2.3 rom or something from the android SDK and use it on my phone. I'd also like to know how easy/hard it is.
Thanks,
sato

Do you know anything about programming? Do you know anything about Linux? Do you have any driver building experience?
I f you answer no to anyone of these, I would say it's extremely hard.
Thanks. I don't really know much about any of those things (Except a tiny bit about linux) oh well...

hey why give up so easily? if you really wanted to learn there are so many threads to get you started. first get a linux distro, ubuntu recommended for most people.
there's dsixia's kitchen around somewhere. play with that a little. read the script's he uses in that kitchen. you'll learn a bit.
then onto building. cyanogen's wiki shows how to build from source and set up your machine to sync with it etc etc. get those sorted and try learn the above mentioned
Cool!
Are there any links to these (Or are we not allowed to post them?)
Does it have to be a linux distro? Can I use OSX?
Hacking is cool, but the problem is that it is very hard, and demands a lot of experience.

This is where i started... hope it helps
Sorry about bringing back this old thread, but I'm also interested in this. I have programming experience with C, C++, C# and Java. I've also developed apps for Android. I've been using Ubuntu as my main operating system for a while now, so I'm good with Linux too. The only thing I lack is the driver programming experience. I'd still like some info/tutorials about porting ROMs, if anyone knows any good ones.
hey i been wondering the same thing. i been trying to play with m10 tools and been skining apk files with apkmanager for the last bit but have been wanting to port the ics sense 3.5 well at the very least re size it but cant find any guides, full guides to do this. anything pointing in the right direction would be great just dont say search xda been there done that. google works better.... but still doesnt give much info on porting besides some basic files to change but leaves out how to re size

Can't mess with 3.5 yet as they new files can't be decoded properly. For resizing you have to edit all the demention xmls on all the apks and m10 files. Lots of trial and error. Make sure you good with logcat
maybe this can help a little

by deleting the map where all the files are or, if you hae installed it using a setup,
use the uninstaller program.
Hey,
Has anyone explained how zergrush works. I was wondering if someone has explained it. I want to understand how the linux vulnerability is exploited.
If you are a developer, the best way is to read through the source found in the developer's git repo here:
https://github.com/revolutionary/zergRush
Hi, i'm sort of starting in Android Developement and I found a proof of concept that looked interesting because it might exploit a vulnerability that's present on my future application. I'd like to build it but I can't manage to... I have joined the source code that you can get from github as an attached file (and zipped it)
I hope somebody will be able to help me and explain how to do it,
Thanks,
T-mobile Prism II released the kernel source
https://github.com/Prism2/HUAWEI-U8686-Open-Source-U8686-JellyBean-kernel-3.4.0-
That is the link for the source kernel i found with a simple search.
This phone is so close to having a custom rom. Rooted, bootloader unlocked and CWM_recovery has already been made possible on this forum.
So my question is... Where would add the line CONFIG_SWAP=y in that open source kernel.
Is that all that needs to be done to this kernel to enable swap?
I'm sure it simple anyone know?

Its a little more complex

Thanks a lot for that link.
I'm very inexperienced with android and that doesnt look easy. Anyone interested in helping me with this?
