Could this be uses to root the samsung moment and other devices

[zikronix]

maybe someone more linux savvy can check into this.

a search on our kernel version 2.6.27 thats on the moment brings up a website with a program for a local root vulnerability.

not sure if it can be compiled for android... Just trying to help

[DemoShadow]

I compiled it, and i am trying to get it to work but its running me into a brick wall. Its weird cause it works on my computer(full linux)... so Ill keep trying

[zikronix]

Intresting indeed. I wish i could figure it out, but i dont know anything about linux.

Have you rewritten the x86 assembly instructions for ARM assembly? Also, I tried one of the milw0rm exploits on my Moment...seems they patched the kernel before the release.

I managed to discover a root exploit but its not the same as we are used to thanks to Samsungs stupid RFS aka FAT16 rom file system.

I'm nor knowledgable to make a rom, but hopefully this can be used to redo the rom in yffs2 so that it will work with existing apps, because even if we COULD keep root, stuff doesnt work, like nandroid, or Root Explorer.

I know many devs frequent xda and with zefie's root expliot maybe someone with the knowledge can create a rom for it in yffs2 using the source code samsung released.
