I am not very familiar with mobile security and/or the differences between carriers. Right now the bounty is $10k for root@vzw and $7k for root@att. How likely is it that someone wins the bounty for VZW but is unable to apply the method to ATT or vice versa? Are VZW and ATT the usual contenders for last to fall?
- sliverstorm 12y agoI can't comment on likelihood, but if the exploit involves the radio, it wouldn't necessarily be portable.
- ibrahima 12y agoAT&T and Verizon are usually the only carriers that bother locking bootloaders with no authorized unlock option. Most international/unlocked phones have some way of unlocking the bootloader. Samsung has recently started locking things down more with Knox I suppose, but I think the bootloader is still relatively open (my T-Mobile Note 3 and international Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 happily installed a custom recovery without any fiddling).
