So, he knows about vulnerabilities but isn't going to tell anyone about it and possibly get a fix for all users because Sprint wont give root access? Sounds kinda selfish no? Most users dont want/need root access but they will remain vulnerable because of this. Also, i didnt think any phone company gave root access to their users, not just Sprint.
Im grateful to the guy for all his hard work getting a root for the phone but come on.
Just read the article on grack and it looks like he's saying that the hole comes from rooting your phone not from just using the phone... or is he saying that the vulnerability is in how easy it is to root? Im so confused.
