OMFG this is so nice!

This means that from now on we will be able to build our own kernels for the Motoronga Milestone?

Yes, if moto allows us to. You can expect some kind of legal hassles.

props to @motomobile for cooking their own modified elgamal signature scheme and doing a bad job at it. no props to TBH.

Yes, if moto allows us to.

They really need to "allow"? What if a hundred developers around the world starts to building their own kernels? They will prosecute one by one?

It would be a very good "propaganda"

They'll try to shut it down, for sure. Cos it will encourage others to hack the bejeesus out of Moto's other locked devices.

But, hey, since when has being illegal stopped the Internet from doing anything?

If the bootloader really has been cracked: Motorola, you can eat my shorts!

If not: I hope Motorola chokes on them, too.

 

[zeppelinrox]

I doubt that it would be deemed illegal.

Jailbreaking the Iphone/pod/whatever was recently judged to not be illegal... so what the heck...

It makes sense... I bought this hardware... I can run it over or I can hack it.

Would they prosecute me for running over my phone?
Would they sue the company that made my tires?

 

[zeppelinrox]

@jack070 i make no warranty for any other phone than that one - but the cracking method should work for all of them.

@jack070 the key i posted earlier is confirmed working on my milestone - i was able to modify the CDT and keystore CG and still boot up.

Well... alrighty then.. I guess this is it!

 

[strikermdd]

i expect someone think fast and makes the unblock of bootloader public until Motorola shut all mouths ...

DMCA exemptions haven't stopped companies from going after mod-chippers/jailbreakers.

Of course it makes sense, if it didn't then we can't all rant, rave and call Motorola everything but a child of god

No, I don't think Moto would sue the company that made your tyres, but I'm guessing they'll sue the guy that let's you replace their bootloader.

How we can use that?

 

[scores87]

So when can we expect the first full custom rom????

I was just saying that Moto will come out with some kind of response for the leak. That's all.

@ Zeppe, you need to tone down the sarcasm in your posts. Not everyone is as smart as you, my friend.

Yes, I know. I concurred.

Damn.. people asking for ETA's already 4 hours after the release.
The keys are used to sign .SBF files so that we can flash them through sbf lite. They aren't meant to be used by less-intelligent users of android, which includes me. I have no idea how he aquired the code and how to properly mod clockworkmod. One thing I do know is that this will surely give us a better CyanogenMod and possibly official support as an Cyanogen device. Good things will happen. Just hope it'll happen on a milestone 2 as well, since I own that device. If it doesn't that's okay, I know my way around the locked bootloader

edit: forgot to say that they can't go after you if you share the files through torrents. They can be freely uploaded to *some pirate bay* and be downloaded from there with no risk of a law suit, just look at the amount of illegal movies and games on there, if they were sue-able, piracy wouldn't have been so high.

Oh hey hey I wasn't being sarcastic towards anybody here.
I'm just a little excited and any "attitude" that was in my post was directed towards companies in general that try and stifle people's right to do as they choose with what they own.

My apologies for any hurt feelings.

 

[wisefreakz]

Holy cow!!

Just cant wait for what "masters" will be able to do now!!!
