What broadcom wifi 'thing' are you referring to? Guess I missed that piece of history.

  Every single cellphone that uses broadcom wifi (basicly all of them) has remote root via wifi. 95% will never be patched.

    At least there is 5%(Nexus and Pixel) that get patched. The baseband is wide open on 100% of cellphones with a SIM card in them, and it's never getting patched.

      Thats ignoring that GSM and friends are still broken, so your device being rooted is stilp only half the issue.
