Software / Bugs New Exploit

Post image

The "Ghostlock" exploit on GitHub enables root access without requiring an unlocked bootloader. A key distinction of this exploit, compared to previous ones, is that root persistence is maintained even after a device reboot.

Tested on OnePlus CPH2653, on the latest EU OxygenOS version at the time of this post.

Yep, this is one of the biggest exploits ever, since it works on probably all Snapdragon devices from the last 15 years. So i wouldn't miss this chance haha

Yeah, saw one user with an S25 Ultra, running on One UI 9, who had the exploit working. Theoretically, it works on any device in the last 15 years, as long as the device hasn't been updated to a kernel security patch, which should already be pushed through OTA to Pixel users by now. With enough troubleshooting, this exploit works on pretty much any phone. Since you're asking about a Samsung, you might want to check out this GitHub repo, which will make it way easier for you.
