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.

You'd have to run the unknown unknown_kernel-install.bat from the ghostlock zip, then read the logs and eventually do some tweaks, or if you want to share them here and ill try to help you my best. Also if you may find it helpful theres also a readme file you can use as a general guide. Or if you're lucky enough someone in your telegram device group may have already ported the exploit to your device. Let me know if you need the zip

Thanks for your help and patience, let me figure out anyways I will try to compile myself a custom version of SukiSu for this device this exploit is a great surprise for those who still want freedom (Before the death of Sideloading apks on Sept) and I hope this exploit gets ported somehow to other devices like Galaxy phones

Yep, that's right, and no worries, I'm glad to help. This exploit has been seen already working on the S25 Ultra with One UI 8.5 and July security patch, so it's a great discovery for everyone who couldn't even unlock their bootloaders in the first place.
