Hacking fail0verflow releases coldboot exploit proof of concept

[Jhyrachy]

your wait was a waste, as was mine.
new deja vu exploit allows to roll back to any firmware wit no issues

"new dejavu"?

Also, the problem is not downgrading, but booting.

I am on 5.1, but sure I can downgrade to 1.0.0; but I'll became unable to boot without using fusee gelee, because at start and while resuming from sleep mode, the stock system check for the fuse count

It lets you use sleep mode if you have too many fuses burned for the version you want to run, you would still need to boot with a dongle.

because at start and while resuming from sleep mode, the stock system check for the fuse count

coming out of sleep mode is a warm boot, dejavu is a warm boot exploit....

I think someone swapped the words release and tease in the making of this title.

youre right
fusee gelee is still needed which defeats the purpose

Then is not a "real" downgrade.
I don't care if i can downgrade to any firmware I want if I need to use a dongle too boot anytime.
And that's why an untethered cold boot exploit on 1.0.0 is meaningless regardint the downgrade, becuase even if I can downgrade to the required version to perform it, the system will got in kernel panic because I have too many efuse burnt, unless I use fusee gele, that's tethered, so it will just void the use of an untethered exploit.

Sure it would be a nice and interesting thing, but not something the vast majority of people should be excited about

It's too little, too late

It's too little, too late

even if it's real at all.

plus, if it exist, we do not know how flexible it is: fusee gelee is flexible enough to let us boot linux without any trouble.
Could that exploit do the same?

Plus, it's not even really needed, we already have small modchip for who wants to solder and cheap dongle for who does not want to (if they have an android phone it's not even needed, it's just plug&play).

Sure an untethered coldboot hax would be awesome, but it's not like we have no alternative right now

It the supposed coldboot thing actually being worked on?
And I'm also wondering what fw version it is tied to

Likely a version that most people probably won't be on

It would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure nobody is working on one.
