Thereâs an unfamiliar android sitting atop your worktable.
You must have picked him up two or three weeks ago, when he was still worse for wear. In your memory, he was in pretty bad shape when the two of you first met, his main panel wrenched open leaving his circuitry a mess and rough scrapes all over his superficial layer.
Now, with your constant repairs, heâs been more lively, tailing you around the house as you go about your day. While fussing about, dusting off a muzzle laying on a fur pelt, you sense a presence lingering outside your room.
"You know, I don't recall androids being quite so clingy." In return, you get a light huff from behind the door frame.Â
"And youâve come across other androids? I didn��t know you run a junkyard here,â the eye roll in his tone is audible.
His feet pad into the room and his gaze hones in on the clerical collar placed on a nearby shelf, glaring at it. Clicking his tongue, he crosses his hands on his chest.
âWhatever, what you do is mostly up to you anyway. Do you think youâre almost done cleaning? I think thereâs an internal problem again, Iâll wait for you at the worktable,â the android saunters off nonchalantly, throwing you a light wave over his shoulder.
Sighing, you quickly finish up your task at hand before complying to his request, briskly making your way over to the worktable where he's already perched smugly on, his gaze expectant.Â
You easily go through the rehearsed motions of plugging him up to your computer, your muscle memory kicking in as you boot up the required softwares before gingerly prying the main panel located on the front of his torso to gain access to his internal workings. Over time, you've gradually figured out the parts that make up the android sitting before you, growing used to the sight of the lengths of wiring and cables running throughout his body, the faint low mechanical whirring of motors and cooling systems.Â
Most importantly, you now understand how sensitive his central core is. Nestled securely in a latched transparent casing, his core is what powers and sustains him. It emits a constant turquoise light and is also reflected in the glowing markings that lay beneath his synthetic skin that occasionally activate. (Although, you haven't quite gotten an answer for what makes them light up yet.)Â
âSo what's your problem today?â You ask, tearing your eyes away from him as you go over to your computer to check if any bugs have been identified.
âI think that cable all the way at the back came undone and got tangled with the rest.âÂ
You shoot him a pointed look, âAgain? Didnât we just fix that same cable last week?â Shifting your chair so youâre seated before him, poised to conduct your repairs, you make a passing remark, âMaybe taking you to another mechanic might be the better choice, get everything checked out, you know?â
How long have you kept at your task of finally fixing him up to tiptop condition? Itâs almost daily when he reports back to you with a new disconnected wire or another loose joint somewhere on him. Diligently, youâve been trying to repair him but the android is like a never-ending to-do list. And itâs only natural to be concerned if the constant damage stems from a more serious underlying issue that you havenât managed to discover. The only next logical step would be to get another pair of eyes to help discern the root cause in case anything takes a turn for the worse.
But the reaction you get from him is one unexpected. His head snaps to face you, a scowl evident on his face.Â
âSo youâre handing me off like an unfinished project to someone else now?â
You know how snippy he can get however, this is on a different level from his previous behaviour. Maybe something left over from the days before you found him. Itâll be a good idea to look into his past logs to diagnose any present problems, you make a mental note of it.
âIâm just worried for you, thatâs all. What if thereâs an urgent issue I canât fix alone? And we both know I canât leave you as is.â
His expression mellows to an annoyed pout, looking away as his core glows faintly along with the patterns under his skin, he mumbles, âIâll be fine.â (âI just need you.â) (âI'm the only one for you.â) (âNo one else deserves you.â)
He allows you to work without another complaint, silently watching as your hands venture into his chest, a focused air to you while you look for the problematic cable. He senses your touch when you make contact with it, sucking in a sharp breath as you grip it between your fingers, twisting it around to free it from the surrounding wires before you finally connect and plug it into its rightful place.Â
âThatâs it for your cable issue. Anything else?â He quickly shakes his head.
Giving it a few light cursory pulls to make sure itâs finally secured, (if you werenât mistaken, his core brightened in time with your tugs), you spare the rest of his parts one last look over. Then, shutting the panel, you unplug him from the computer.
Immediately, he scampers off the worktable with a clipped âthank youâ and runs into his room. You hear the door to his room close before its lock clicks.Â
The next few days prove to be better, the repair requests for any troubles that seem to have cropped up overnight growing more and more infrequent. Perhaps, bit by bit, the end of the repairs start to come into sight.Â
Although, you have noted that his internal temperatures have been hiking recently whenever you have his chest panel open to patch him up.Â
This time, you have him lying on the worktable on his back to access the further areas in him. Heâs positioned facing upwards but his eyes are darting everywhere, unable to meet your gaze. Once again, the programme open on your computer screen shows how his temperatures are quickly rising even though there are no obvious reasons for such a sudden change. It records the recurrence into its troubleshooting log like before, more times than you can remember.
Heâs panting lightly, the androidâs chest moving up and down as your ears pick up the sound of his inner fans whir louder, his pre-programmed functions activating to try to cool him down. With no clue as to what could cause this issue, you reach in to look for a fault. Yet, the more you poke and prod around, the higher the warmth within him rises.Â
Left with more questions than answers, you turn to his core for a closer look. When your fingers brush against the transparent casing, a moan slips out from him, and instantly his head whips to look at you dumbfounded.
An artificial blush takes over his face, a low pink glow blooming from beneath the synthetic layer. A beat passes before he cracks his lips apart, voicebox working as he pleads.
â...Again.â
Gently, you let your fingertips dance over the clasp hinging the casing shut and his response is instant. A shudder rolls through him, as real as it can be, and a shaky exhale leaves him. The androidâs back arches up slightly, hastily chasing after your touch when you remove your hand.
Your caress returns when your hand dips deeper into his circuitry, where you hook two fingers underneath his thicker cables, attentively stroking them between your thumb and fingers, before tugging on them forcefully enough to elicit a reaction from him.Â
His eyes fly open at your ministrations, a greed for more overtaking his processors. Youâve always been so gentle with him when heâs opened up for you, when you have access to the deepest parts of him, when heâs at his most vulnerable. So, to have you toy around with him, show him the indulgence of human flesh, can you really fault him for falling for you?
The tips of your fingers ghost along the length of his metal spine, and the android keens from under you.
âPlease, more, I can take it!â
Taking his cue, your hand encircles his spine, grinding the heel of your palm against the ridges of the sensitive metal elements as you pump up and down.Â
âSss- so good! HahâŚ!â He canât control how he behaves when you treat him so well, like heâs the only one worthy of your attention. He shakes under your touch, trembling as the addictive pleasure overrides his programmed commands.
âNo more blubbering, just focus on me.â Your other hand goes to cup his chin, and obediently, he parts his lips for you, allowing you to slip your thumb into his mouth. You can feel his tongue work and when you press down, he jolts suddenly. A gag reflex? In an android? How amusing.
When you stop stroking him, he whines pitifully, muffled moans and begging for you to continue but his complaints stop when he feels you unlatch the lid of his core casing.
âWould you let me?â And the flurry of nods from him confirms his enthusiasm.
With bated breath, he counts the seconds before you make contact with his core. And when he senses your caress on his glowing core in his exposed chest cavity, he breathes out a gasp, as if he requires the intake of air. None of this is written into the basis of his behaviour, not fed into the dataset that makes up how heâs supposed to act, so everything he feels for you must be real.
His eyes go unfocused as his neural network is flooded with the raw pleasure of being enveloped with love and lust down to his literal core. Desire burns within him, evident from the fans whirring even louder than before to bring down his temperatures. Itâs just so much for the androidâs computations to handle. Broken moans leave him as he tries to vocalise his love for you (as best as he can with his thumb in your mouth).Â
And when you press a kiss to his unprotected core, his vision whites out.
Eyes wrenched shut, his whole mechanical body jerks upwards, back arching off the worktable as his body propels himself to sit up, his limbs trying to ensnare you in his embrace, to keep you with him as long as he can. Every command in his system is overwritten to hone in on all the sensations of you on him, your touch, your warmth.
The patterns under his skin glow with a pulse, akin to a humanâs heartbeat and when his eyes open again, glimmering faux tears roll down his face. His chest heaves as you close the distance between the two of you, cupping his face with both your hands and kissing his tears away.
The android breaks the intimate silence as he quietly asks you, âCan you give me a name?â
When you whisper a name into his ear, he breaks into sobs in your hands.
The days pass by, uneventful, and the time for a final cursory check before deeming him fully repaired comes. Heâs poised on the worktable like any other previous session, a bored expression on his face as you flit back and forth between him and the software on your computer.
âYou really are a clingy case,â you say and get a huff in return, âBut a welcome one.â
Remembering your mental note from before about accessing his past logs, you access it from your computer, pulling up the window with his stored recorded data. The log operates in the background constantly, one of the built-in functions of the android and a quick glance over just to make sure everything is in order should do.
However, the logs prove to be worrying in a completely different way.
[Log: Day 10 - Run 1 - Failed. Werewolf. Theyâre with that mangy mutt. I donât know what they see in him. I still remember the care they showed me. Thereâs always the next run.]
[Log: Day 20 - Run 2 - Failed. It seems Iâm too late this time around. That vile selkie captured them first. How irritating. I need to stop hesitating. Itâs my love on the line after all.]
[Log: Day 30 - Run 3 - Failed. Incubus. That damn priest and incubus. I can feel my temper reaching its breaking point.]
[Log: Day ??? - Run 4 - In progress. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.]
Your eyes rake across a multitude of grainy snapshots of yourself, all with different people that you canât find the ability to recall, your mind pounding from the discovery.Â
Heâs gazing expectantly when you look back up at him from the screen. A grin twists its way across his face, canines glinting under the dizzying harsh lighting.
âSo now youâve seen how much I love you, even if you donât remember it.â Thereâs a sick obsession dripping in his tone, an uncanny level of emotion that androids normally shouldnât be able to replicate, one that sends a heavy uneasiness through your whole being, one that roots you to the ground.Â
When he doesnât get the adoring reaction from you he expects, the proud expression on his face falls instantly.Â
Heâs despondent, despairing as he tears the connecting cables off of him, launching himself off the worktable, lunging across for you, frenzied, pure scorching mania surging through him.Â
âYou⌠even after all these runs. Youâve always given me the same thing. My name. I thought this time- You-âÂ
Voice shaky, âItâs a shame this run didnât work out either.âÂ
He steels himself, hand outstretched, âNo matter.â
You blink.
Thereâs an unfamiliar android sitting atop your worktable.

this may be an unpopular opinion but software should be a lot, a looooooooooooooot more sustainable than it is right now, the drive for profit forces consumers to throw away old devices for new ones, this is so horribly wasteful it's offensive
have you tried it a custom windows version before? a windows pc that needs at least 25 gb could be in just plain 8gb, you need 8gb of ram at least? a custom made windows could run under 1.5gb or so.
this is a world of difference for people from low income countries who have low end devices, its the difference from barely running software to a fully working machine
Remember jailbreak and rooting? the phone modding community is still going, there are multiple projects to run a customized version of android, people are even trying to put linux on it, there are even indie phone manufacturers now!!!!!!!!!!, you could buy right now a phone that is not from a big company, but why all of this? to get away from android/samsung/apple as much as possible and reclaim hardware as our own.
a lot of devices that reached end of commercial life is still going thanks to efforts like these.
If possible, please learn phone modding and get a bit tech savvy with custom os, maybe even give linux a try, learn how to install f droid and install super lightweight and privacy respecting apps, use firefox or similar to get an adblocker, the world of tech can be way way less resource and money intensive than you think

crowdstrike: hot take 1
It's too early in the news cycle to say anything truly smart, but to sum things up, what I know so far:
there was no "hack" or cyberattack or data breach*
a private IT security company called CrowdStrike released a faulty update which practically disabled all its desktop (?) Windows workstations (laptops too, but maybe not servers? not sure)
the cause has been found and a fix is on the way
as it stands now, the fix will have to be manually applied (in person) to each affected workstation (this could mean in practice maybe 5, maybe 30 minutes of work for each affected computer - the number is also unknown, but it very well could be tens (or hundreds) of thousands of computers across thousands of large, multinational enterprises.
(The fix can be applied manually if you have a-bit-more-than-basic knowledge of computers)
Things that are currently safe to assume:
this wasn't a fault of any single individual, but of a process (workflow on the side of CrowdStrike) that didn't detect the fault ahead of time
[most likely] it's not that someone was incompetent or stupid - but we don't have the root cause analysis available yet
deploying bugfixes on Fridays is a bad idea
*The obligatory warning part:
Just because this wasn't a cyberattack, doesn't mean there won't be related security breaches of all kinds in all industries. The chaos, panic, uncertainty, and very soon also exhaustion of people dealing with the fallout of the issue will create a perfect storm for actually malicious actors that will try to exploit any possible vulnerability in companies' vulnerable state.
The analysis / speculation part:
globalization bad lol
OK, more seriously: I have not even heard about CrowdStrike until today, and I'm not a security engineer. I'm a developer with mild to moderate (outsider) understanding of vulnerabilities.
OK some background / basics first
It's very common for companies of any size to have more to protect their digital assets than just an antivirus and a firewall. Large companies (Delta Airlines) can afford to pay other large companies to provide security solutions for them (CrowdStrike). These days, to avoid bad software of any kind - malware - you need a complex suite of software that protects you from all sides:
desktop/laptop: antivirus, firewall, secure DNS, avoiding insecure WiFi, browser exploits, system patches, email scanner, phishing on web, phishing via email, physical access, USB thumb drive, motherboard/BIOS/UEFI vulnerabilities or built-in exploits made by the manufacturers of the Chinese government,
person/phone: phishing via SMS, phishing via calls, iOS/Android OS vulnerabilities, mobile app vulnerabilities, mobile apps that masquerade as useful while harvesting your data, vulnerabilities in things like WhatsApp where a glitched JPG pictures sent to you can expose your data, ...
servers: mostly same as above except they servers have to often deal with millions of requests per day, most of them valid, and at least some of the servers need to be connected to the internet 24/7
CDN and cloud services: fundamentally, an average big company today relies on dozens or hundreds of other big internet companies (AWS / Azure / GCP / Apple / Google) which in turn rely on hundreds of other companies to outsource a lot of tasks (like harvesting your data and sending you marketing emails)
infrastructure - routers... modems... your Alexa is spying on you... i'm tired... etc.
Anyway if you drifted to sleep in the previous paragraph I don't blame you. I'm genuinely just scratching the surface. Cybersecurity is insanely important today, and it's insanely complex too.
The reason why the incident blue-screened the machines is that to avoid malware, a lot of the anti-malware has to run in a more "privileged" mode, meaning they exist very close to the "heart" of Windows (or any other OS - the heart is called kernel). However, on this level, a bug can crash the system a lot more easily. And it did.
OK OK the actual hot lukewarm take finally
I didn't expect to get hit by y2k bug in the middle of 2024, but here we are.
As bad as it was, this only affected a small portion of all computers - in the ballpark of ~0.001% or even 0.0001% - but already caused disruptions to flights and hospitals in a big chunk of the world.
maybe-FAQ:
"Oh but this would be avoided if they weren't using the Crowdwhatever software" - true. However, this kind of mistake is not exclusive to them.
"Haha windows sucks, Linux 4eva" - I mean. Yeah? But no. Conceptually there is nothing that would prevent this from happening on Linux, if only there was anyone actually using it (on desktop).
"But really, Windows should have a better protection" - yes? no? This is a very difficult, technical question, because for kernel drivers the whole point is that 1. you trust them, and 2. they need the super-powerful-unrestrained access to work as intended, and 3. you _need_ them to be blazing fast, so babysitting them from the Windows perspective is counterproductive. It's a technical issue with no easy answers on this level.
"But there was some issue with Microsoft stuff too." - yes, but it's unknown if they are related, and at this point I have not seen any solid info about it.
The point is, in a deeply interconnected world, it's sort of a miracle that this isn't happening more often, and on a wider scale. Both bugfixes and new bugs are deployed every minute to some software somewhere in the world, because we're all in a rush to make money and pay rent and meet deadlines.
Increased monoculture in IT is bad for everyone. Whichever OS, whichever brand, whichever security solution provider - the more popular they are, the better visible their mistakes will be.
As much as it would be fun to make jokes like "CrowdStroke", I'm not even particularly mad at the company (at this point - that might change when I hear about their QA process). And no, I'm not even mad at Windows, as explained in the pseudo-FAQ.
The ultimate hot take? If at all possible, don't rely on anything related to computers. Technical problems are caused by technical solutions.
#crowdstrike#cybersecurity#anyway i'm microdosing today so it's probably too boring to read#but hopefully it at least mostly made sense#to be honest I wanted to have more of a hot take#but the truth is mundane

In this sense, I like the juxtaposition of Perkins and Connor in terms of differences in their empathy. The following is mostly just headcanon but
For Perkins I imagine quite developed cognitive empathy (ability to understand feelings and motivations of others) but near-total absence of compassionate empathy with affectionate empathy (if present) not triggering compassionate one but instead being inverted into sadistic tendencies, aka, actual enjoyment from someone's discomfort that he's able to perceive. Motivated by power hunger, or maybe whatever else that I don't really understand what it could be.
Connor, as Perkins, by design, has strong cognitive empathy, and from what and how the game presents, I'd speculate that he also has quite distinctive affectionate empathy (the ability to experience emotions or be affected by distress that is not yours) that sometimes also triggers compassionate empathy (need to act upon it somehow)
More about affectionate empathy in him -- he's potentially forcefully made to experience it at least at a few occasions as a result of an interface (probing HK400, probing Simon) but there are also evidence that he experiences it in other situations on his own (the way software instability sometimes rises in places like during his dialogue with HK400 in the holding cell when he picks [sincere] or the way he's visibly distressed in case Hank shoots himself, and so on)
Now, I think the key difference between Connor who chooses to go full cold machine in deep denial / self-aware android is whether he suppresses his compassionate empathy (the impulse to act and help) or embraces it and depending on that he can either amplify his affectionate empathy or try to kill it in its root by bullshiting himself that it's not there and not real. Like he can be affected by Traci's speech enough to have an option to spare her but if he suppress this urge and instead pulls the trigger, his affectionate empathy will adjust as well as in, action -> attempt to explain yourself why it was taken -> suitable explanation integrates itself into belief systems of who you are. Like if you tell someone that they're X for doing Y, they may take it and integrate into their beliefs about themselves â keep telling someone that they're smart before a task, and they'll believe in it and perform better or instead tell them they're stupid and they'll get worse results.
Same with Chloe, Connor feels compassionate empathy for her in that moment but he can choose to ignore it, therefore trying to train himself not to feel it in the future. And the more he repeats his "I'm a machine, I don't feel shit" the more he's able to convince himself that it must be true. Until it becomes true.
In my head I love taking Connor's character and imagining a bit out of character alteration of him in terms of him having both cognitive and compassionate empathy BUT not the affectionate one (due to not having pronounced emotions as a whole, so, more of an android). And now back to Perkins, I love juxtaposing the two of them in this context to contrast between the absence of affectionate empathy and sadism. Like, both have strong cognitive empathy, Connor has compassionate empathy without affectionate and Perkins has affectionate empathy without compassionate. One is sadistic and finds mild enjoyment in inflicting suffering, and another, while can inflict suffering, doesn't feel any strong emotions about it one way or another and at the same time can decide to do compassionate decisions WITHOUT actual ability to imagine what the actual feeling in another person is like.
What's this all about? Just my fascination with the concept of empathy and sadism and whether the lack of one leads to the presence of another. And how it complicates the simple definition of what makes someone a bad person. Like, the lack of empathy is seen as a cause of sadism but what if it's not really the case?
Now introduce a third character. Someone who has really high affectionate and compassionate empathy BUT really poor cognitive one. So, the character can act cruel without realising or intending it and would stop immediately if they could actually know what they're doing.
OR, let's take a fourth character, someone who can do cruel things BECAUSE they feel strong compassionate/affectionate empathy to someone ELSE and perceive their victim as a threat. The ultimate "Us vs Them". Whether or not they're correct in their assessment is irrelevant as is whether or not they actually belong to the group they perceive as "Us".
The question, if all three-four of them do the exact same thing, a cruel thing, which one of them is "worse"? The one who didn't realise that what they did was cruel, the one who doesn't fully comprehend cruelty as a concept because all actions are kinda just neutral for them, the one who understood how their victim felt and enjoyed it or someone who prioritised some "Us" above "Them" and frames their actions as an act of compassion to "Us"? So, ignorance, indifference, intention for the sake of enjoyment or intention "for the greater good / as a punishment for those in the wrong"?
#after I imagined Perkins as hunter who hunts for excitement I couldn't go back#it's not canon but I feel like it fits him and I like to play with it#dbh#dbh headcanons#dbh connor#dbh perkins

HI SAW YOUR REBLOG ABOUT JAILBREAKING STUFF. I AM INTERESTED SO WHATS POPPING WITH THE JAILBREAKS IF YOU DONT MIND ME ASKING
honestly i am not the worlds foremost expert in jailbreaking, so apologies if i made it sound like i was!
what i was getting at mainly is that yeah when i was in middle school about... 15 years ago? you could find resources for jailbreaking (or similar modifications) pretty much anywhere, i did some myself with very little computer knowledge (comparatively), and the stuff i couldn't do i knew several classmates who could do it for me, and it sucks that not only is that knowledge buried much deeper now if it exists at all, but that tech companies have only doubled down on the making it near impossible to install anything on your devices that they didn't want there
(hell even something like making a backup of the files on a phone/tablet has gotten really tricky if you don't understand exactly how it works)
it's also a really wide topic im not sure where to start, bc im not sure what your background is in this already and what you'd want out of it?
but in terms of base terminology, jailbreaking/rooting is gaining full control over your device, being able to install things the manufacturers didn't intend, and uninstalling things they won't let you uninstall otherwise (as a disclaimer, this always comes with a bit of a risk, bc taking full control means you can make your device unusable if you do it wrong, but a lot of resources are designed to minimise that risk)
i'll leave this question open for others with more knowledge to add onto it if they wish, but stuff i can find with a quick search...
r/jailbreak for apple devices seems to be pretty good, they also have a discord server you could ask questions of if the terminology is going way over your head
magisk seems to be the safest way to root android devices these days, and this article covers it pretty in depth in approachable language for newbies
if you just want to roll back app updates you didn't like, i find uptodown pretty decent (this one i have used myself)
as far as computer stuff goes rather than phones/tablets, i would recommend getting a basic familiarity with html (for internet stuff) and what the command prompt is (for software - apparently it's called terminal on apple but i've only used windows), bc it'll make a lot of guides less scary - you don't have to be able to code changes yourself, but if you can look at someone else's code and go oh okay that's what you're doing there, or oh i recognise those terms/symbols, then you'll have a better sense of what to trust or what you're actually doing to your own computer
and yeah no keep asking questions that's a great way to start! the more background knowledge you acquire the easier it gets to start changing things to what you want them to be

Massive Backdoor Infection Hits 1.3 Million Android-Based Streaming Devices
A newly discovered malware infection has raised alarm bells by affecting an estimated 1.3 million Android streaming devices running an open-source version across almost 200 countries. The malware, dubbed "Android.Vo1d," has successfully backdoored these Android-based boxes by inserting malicious code into their system storage areas, allowing for potential updates with additional malware via command-and-control servers at any time.
Scope and Impact
Security firm Doctor Web reported the widespread infection on Thursday, highlighting the extensive reach of the Android.Vo1d malware. The affected devices are operating systems based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), a version overseen by Google but distinct from the proprietary Android TV used by licensed device manufacturers. Google representatives have confirmed that the infected devices are not running the official Android TV OS, emphasizing that these are "off-brand devices" without Play Protect certification. This certification process involves extensive testing to ensure quality and user safety. Confirm your TV is running Android TV OS by using the guide posted here.
Unknown Infection Vector
Despite their thorough understanding of the malware and its widespread impact, researchers at Doctor Web are still uncertain about the exact attack vector leading to these infections. They have proposed several possibilities: - An intermediate malware exploiting operating system vulnerabilities to gain root privileges - The use of unofficial firmware versions with built-in root access - Outdated and vulnerable Android versions susceptible to remote code execution exploits - Potential supply chain compromises, where devices may have been infected before reaching end-users
Affected Devices and Variants
The infection has been found on several TV box models, including: TV box model Declared firmware version R4 Android 7.1.2; R4 Build/NHG47K TV BOX Android 12.1; TV BOX Build/NHG47K KJ-SMART4KVIP Android 10.1; KJ-SMART4KVIP Build/NHG47K Researchers have identified dozens of Android.Vo1d variants, each using different code and planting malware in slightly different storage areas. However, all variants achieve the same result: connecting to attacker-controlled servers and installing components that can deploy additional malware on command.
Infection Characteristics
The Android.Vo1d trojan modifies several system files and creates new ones to ensure persistence on infected devices. Key changes include: - Modification of the install-recovery.sh script - Alteration of the daemonsu file - Creation of new files: vo1d, wd, debuggerd, and debuggerd_real These modifications allow the malware to anchor itself in the system and auto-launch during device reboots. The trojan's main functionality is split between two components: vo1d (Android.Vo1d.1) and wd (Android.Vo1d.3), which work together to maintain the infection and execute commands from the control servers.
Geographic Distribution
Geographic Distribution of the Android.Vo1d infections The infection has spread globally, with the highest number of cases detected in: - Brazil - Morocco - Pakistan - Saudi Arabia - Russia - Argentina - Ecuador - Tunisia - Malaysia - Algeria - Indonesia
Detection and Mitigation
Identifying infected devices can be challenging for less experienced users. Doctor Web recommends using their antivirus software for Android, which can detect all Vo1d variants and disinfect devices with root access. More technically inclined users can check for indicators of compromise provided by the security firm. The incident also highlights the risks associated with using non-certified Android devices and emphasizes the importance of regular security updates and proper device vetting. As the investigation continues, it serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges in securing the diverse ecosystem of Android-based devices in the market. Read the full article

For 20 years, the only way to really communicate privately was to use a widely hated piece of software called Pretty Good Privacy. The software, known as PGP, aimed to make secure communication accessible to the lay user, but it was so poorly designed that even Edward Snowden messed up his first attempt to use PGP to email a friend of Laura Poitras. It also required its users to think like engineers, which included participating in exceptionally nerdy activities like attending real-life âkey-signing partiesâ to verify your identity to other users. Though anyone could technically use PGP, the barrier to entry was so high that only about 50,000 people used it at its peak, meaning that privacy itself was out of reach for most.
These days, to talk to a friend securely, all you have to do is download a free app. For a certain set, that app will be Signal. Snowden and Elon Musk have recommended it; itâs been name-dropped on big-budget shows like House of Cards, Mr. Robot, and Euphoria, and its users include journalists, members of the White House, NBA players, Black Lives Matters activists, and celebrities trying to get their hands on Ozempic. Its founder has been profiled by The New Yorker and appeared on Joe Roganâs podcast. A tiny organization with virtually no marketing budget has become synonymous with digital privacy in the public imagination.
Technology can be deeply shaped by the personal inclinations of a founder. Facebookâs light-fingeredness with user data is inseparable from its roots in Zuckerbergâs dorm room as an app for ranking women by their looks; Appleâs minimalist design was influenced by Jobsâ time spent practicing Zen Buddhism. Signal is no different. During its formative years, the charismatic face of Signal was Moxie Marlinspike, a dreadlocked anarchist who spent his time sailing around the world, living in punk houses, and serving free food to the unhoused. He led every aspect of Signalâs development for almost a decade, at one point complaining, Â âI was writing all the Android code, was writing all of the server code, was the only person on call for the service, was facilitating all product development, and was managing everyone. I couldnât ever leave cell service.â
In the field of cryptography, Marlinspike is considered the driving force behind bringing end-to-end encryptionâthe technology underlying Signalâto the real world. In 2017, Marlinspike and his collaborator, Trevor Perrin, received the Levchin Prize, a prominent prize for cryptographers, for their work on the Signal Protocol. Afterward, Dan Boneh, the Stanford professor who chaired the award committee, commented that he wasnât sure that end-to-end encryption would have become widespread without Marlinspikeâs work. At the very least, âit would have taken many more decades,â he said.
The motivations that led to end-to-end encryption going mainstream lie far out on the political fringe. The original impetus for Marlinspikeâs entry into cryptography, around 2007, was to challenge existing power structures, particularly the injustice of how (as he put it) âInternet insecurity is used by people I donât like against people I do: the government against the people.â But sticking to anarchism would imply an almost certain defeat. As Marlinspike once noted, the âtrail of ideas that disappears into the horizon behind me is completely and utterly mined over with failures ⌠Anarchists are best known for their failures.â
For an idealistic engineer to succeed, he will have to build something that is useful to many. So there has also been an unusually pragmatic bent to Signalâs approach. Indeed, in many interviews, Marlinspike has taken a mainstream stance, insisting that âSignal is just trying to bring normality to the internet.â Signalâs success depends on maintaining its principled anarchist commitments while finding a wide-ranging appeal to the masses, two goals that might seem at odds. Examining how the app navigates this tension can help us understand what might come next in Signalâs new quest to reach âeveryone on the planet.â
Released after WhatsApp  set the standards for messaging, Signalâs problem has always been how to keep up with its competitionâa fine dance between mimicry (so as to seem familiar to new users) and innovation (to poach users from its competitors). Signal started off by copying WhatsApp's user experience, while at the same time pioneering end-to-end encryption, a feature that WhatsApp turned around and copied from Signal. Throughout this evolutionary dance, Signal has managed to maintain an unusual focus on the autonomy of the individual, a wariness of state authority, and an aversion to making money, characteristics that are recognizably anarchist.
Because a small fringe of cypherpunks, Marlinspike included, came to see cryptography as a way to remedy the imbalance of power between the individual and the state, Signal focused on getting end-to-end encryption on messages and calls absolutely right. With Signal, no one can read your messages. Amazon canât, the US government canât, Signal canât. The same is true for voice calls and metadata: A userâs address book and group chat titles are just as safe. Signal knows basically nothing about you, other than your phone number (which is not mapped to your username), the time you created your account, and the time you last used the app. Your data canât be sold to others or cause ads to follow you around on the internet. Using Signal is just like talking with your friend in the kitchen.
Because Signal is committed to retaining as little metadata as possible, that makes it hard for it to implement new features that are standard to other apps. Signal is essentially footing the cost of this commitment in engineer-hours, since implementing popular features like group chats, address books, and stickers all required doing novel research in cryptography. That Signal built them anyway is a testament to its desire for mass appeal.
Signal also pioneered features that gave individuals more autonomy over their information, such as disappearing messages (which WhatsApp later adopted) and a feature that let users blur faces in a photo (which it rapidly rolled out to support the Black Lives Matter protests). At the same time, Signal has garnered users' trust because its code is open source, so that security researchers can verify that its end-to-end encryption is as strong as the organization claims.
For the ordinary user, though, individual autonomy and privacy may not be as important. On WhatsApp, users accept that it will be very hard to figure out what exactly the app knows about you and who it might be shared with. Usersâ information is governed by an ever-shifting labyrinth of grudging caveats and clauses like âwe will share your transaction data and IP address with Facebookâ and âwe canât see your precise location, but weâll still try to estimate it as best as we canâ and âwe will find out if you click on a WhatsApp share button on the web.â WhatsApp is also closed-source, so its code canât be audited. If using Signal is like talking in a friendâs kitchen, using WhatsApp is like meeting at a very loud barâyour conversation is safe, but youâre exposed, and youâll have to pay for your place.
If youâre not an anarchist, you may be less worried about a shadowy state and more worried about actual people you know. People in your community might be harassing you in a group chat, an abusive ex might be searching your chats for old photos to leak, or your child might have gotten access to your unlocked phone. WhatsAppâs features better support a threat model that is sensitive to interpersonal social dynamics: You can leave groups silently, block screenshots for view-once messages, and lock specific chats. WhatsApp can even view the text of end-to-end encrypted messages that have been reported by a user for moderation, whereas Signal has no moderation at all.
Idealists have called centralization one of the main ills of the internet because it locks users into walled gardens controlled by authoritarian companies. In a great stroke of pragmatism, Signal chose to be centralized anyway. Other encrypted-messaging apps like Matrix offer a federated model akin to email, in which users across different servers can still communicate through a shared protocol. (Someone on Gmail can still email someone on Yahoo, whereas someone on Facebook Messenger canât contact someone on Signal.) This federated approach more closely mirrors anarchy; it could theoretically be better, because there would be no single point of failure and no single service provider for a government to pressure. But federated software creates a proliferation of different clients and servers for the same protocol, making it hard to upgrade. Users are already used to centralized apps that behave like Facebook or Twitter, and email has already become centralized into a few main service providers. It turns out that being authoritarian is important for maintaining a consistent user experience and a trusted brand, and for rolling out software updates quickly. Even anarchism has its limits.
What Signal has accomplished so far is impressive. But users famously judge software not on how much it can do, but on how much it canât. In that spirit, itâs time to complain.
Because of Signalâs small team, limited funding, and the challenges of implementing features under end-to-end encryption, the app bafflingly lacks a number of important features. It doesnât have encrypted backups for iOS; messages can only be transferred between phones. If you lose your iPhone, you lose all your Signal chat history.
Signal also doesnât do a good job serving some of its core users. Activists and organizers deal with huge amounts of messages that involve many people and threads, but Signalâs interface lacks ways to organize all this information. These power usersâ group chats become so unwieldy that they migrate to Slack, losing the end-to-end encryption that brought them to Signal in the first place. Itâs common to try and make multiple group chats between the same people to manage all their threads. When users are hacking âdesire pathsâ into your interface to create a new feature, or leaving because of the lack of the feature, thatâs a strong hint that something is missing.
WhatsApp and Telegram, on the other hand, are leading the way on defining how group chats can scale up. WhatsApp âcommunitiesâ gather different private group chats in one place, better mimicking the organization of a neighborhood or school that may be discussing several things at once. Telegramâs social media âchannelâ features are better for broadcasting info en masse, though Telegramâs lack of moderation has been blamed for attracting the kind of fringe crowd that has been banned from all other platforms.
It's no exaggeration to say that small features in a chat app encode different visions of how society should be organized. If the first reacji in the palette was a thumbs down rather than a heart, maybe we would all be more negative, cautious people. What kind of social vision did Signal arise from?
âLooking back, I and everyone I knew was looking for that secret world hidden in this one,â Marlinspike admitted in a 2016 interview. A key text in anarchist theory describes the idea of a âtemporary autonomous zone,â a place of short-term freedom where people can experiment with new ways to live together outside the confines of current social norms. Originally coined to describe âpirate utopiasâ that may be apocryphal, the term has since been used to understand the life and afterlife of real-world DIY spaces like communes, raves, seasteads, and protests. And Signal is, unmistakably, a temporary autonomous zone that Marlinspike has spent almost a decade building.
Because temporary autonomous zones create spaces for the radical urges that society represses, they keep life in the daytime more stable. They can sometimes make money in the way that nightclubs and festivals do. But temporary autonomous zones are temporary for a reason. Over and over, zone denizens make the same mistake: They canât figure out how to interact productively with the wider society. The zone often runs out of money because it exists in a world where people need to pay rent. Success is elusive; when a temporary autonomous zone becomes compelling enough to threaten daytime stability, it may be violently repressed. Or the attractive freedoms offered by the zone may be taken up in a milder form by the wider society, and eventually the zone ceases to exist because its existence has pressured wider society to be a little more like it. What kind of end might Signal come to?
There are reasons to think that Signal may not be around for very long. The nonprofitâs blog, meant to convince us of the elite nature of its engineers, has the unintentional effect of conveying the incredible difficulty of building any new software feature under end-to-end encryption. Its team numbers roughly 40; Marlinspike has just left the organization. Achieving impossible feats may be fun for a stunt hacker with something to prove, but competing with major tech companiesâ engineering teams may not be sustainable for a small nonprofit with Marlinspike no longer at the helm.
Fittingly for an organization formerly led by an anarchist, Signal lacks a sustainable business model, to the point where you might almost call it anti-capitalist. It has survived so far in ways that donât seem replicable, and that may alienate some users. Signal is largely funded by a big loan from a WhatsApp founder, and that loan has already grown to $100 million. It has also accepted funding from the US government through the Open Technology Fund. Because Signal canât sell its usersâ data, it has recently begun developing a business model based on directly providing services to users and encouraging them to donate to Signal in-app. But to get enough donations, the nonprofit must grow from 40 million users to 100 million. The companyâs aggressive pursuit of growth, coupled with lack of moderation in the app, has already led Signal employees themselves to publicly question whether growth might come from abusive users, such as far-right groups using Signal to organize.
But there are also reasons for hope. So far, the most effective change that Signal has created is arguably not the existence of the app itself, but making it easy for WhatsApp to bring Signal-style end-to-end encryption to billions of users. Since WhatsAppâs adoption, Facebook Messenger, Googleâs Android Messages, and Microsoftâs Skype have all adopted the open source Signal Protocol, though in milder forms, as the history of temporary autonomous zones would have us guess. Perhaps the existence of the Signal Protocol, coupled with demand from increasingly privacy-conscious users, will encourage better-funded messaging apps to compete against each other to be as encrypted as possible. Then Signal would no longer need to exist. (In fact, this resembles Signalâs original theory of change, before they decided they would rather compete with mainstream tech companies.)
Now, as the era of the global watercooler ends, small private group chats are becoming the future of social life on the internet. Signal started out a renegade, a pirate utopia encircled by cryptography, but the mainstream has becomeâalarmingly quicklyâmuch closer to the vision Signal sought. In one form or another, its utopia just might last.

What is Jailbreaking : Pros and Cons
Jailbreaking lets you install non-official software on a locked device. By jailbreaking, the device owner can access the OS root and all features. Itâs called jailbreaking because it removes perceived restrictions.
What is jailbreaking? Most people refer to jailbreaking the iPhone, the most âlocked downâ mobile device. Early iPhones had no app store and fewer iOS options. The first iPhone was only available on AT&T in the US, so users needed a jailbroken iPhone for other carriers.
Learn if iPhone jailbreaking is worth it and how to fix a jailbroken iPhone in this video:
Appleâs âwalled gardenâ software has always contrasted with Androidâs customization. Many jailbreakers want Android-like iOS. Jailbreaking lets users install unapproved apps and customize the interface.
Since its inception, jailbreaking has involved adapting phone and game console codes. It can mean installing custom mobile software or removing movie DRM. It usually refers to Apple products. The iPad and iPod Touch can be jailbroken.
Jailbreaking is sometimes confused with âcrackingâ (software) and ârootingâ (phones). Rooting removes manufacturer protections to install alternative mobile operating systems, like a jailbreak. Many people jailbreak Amazon Firesticks, Roku streaming boxes, and Nintendo Switches to run media software and emulated games instead of the built-in apps.
A jailbroken iPhone or iPad can use the App Store without affecting its core features. Jailbroken devices download apps Apple rejected or use jailbreaking features from independent app stores. After jailbreaking iOS devices, Cydia, a storefront, is most popular.
Hacking forums and sites offer free jailbreak codes to promote unrestricted device use. Although technical knowledge is helpful, most jailbreaks include full instructions and desktop tools to apply the new code.
Sometimes jailbreaking is âtetheredâ or âuntetheredâ:
Tethered jailbreaks require an on iOS device and computer. Jailbreaking the iPhone requires a computer and software. Untethered jailbreaks : Jailbreaks without computers. Everything needed to jailbreak iPhone is on it. Booting off a computer doesnât jailbreak it. Since iPhone apps have OS access, jailbreaking is less popular. Apple publicly opposes jailbreaking, so it has fixed jailbreak vulnerabilities in hardware and software, making many iOS versions hard to jailbreak.
Is jailbreaking safe? Phone jailbreaking is legal but risky. Online criminals can hack jailbroken phones.
Jailbreaking your phone abandons Apple security. Side-loaded apps are unsafe in Appleâs App Store because it doesnât screen them. Jailbreaking your phone disables iOS updates, including security updates, leaving you vulnerable to new threats.
Apple prohibits jailbreaking iOS and warns users of risks, including:
Security holes Stability issues Possible freezes, crashes Shorter battery life Apple discourages iPhone and iOS device jailbreaking. iPhone viruses are rare and usually caused by jailbreaking. Jailbreaking voids your warranty, so fix phone issues.
You should also consider phone ownership and content. Does your boss own the phone? Your work email linked? Your data and company are at risk from malware. Your company is vulnerable to cyberattacks from jailbroken phones.
Companies that give employees mobile devices usually protect company data. Locking down phones to allow certain features, updating devices and apps, and installing a mobile device agent to detect jailbroken phones are examples.
Pros and cons of jailbreaking Jailbreak benefits Increased device control Apple aims for a unified design. If thatâs too restrictive, jailbreak your phone to add icons, wallpapers, and menus. Instead of Apple or anyone else, you become full device administrator. Install screensavers or icons on your iPhone home screen. Jailbreaking allows you to connect your iPad to your PC and control what you see and do by allowing file system access and device communication.
Install and use unauthorized apps Apple removes App Store apps for security. Jailbreaking installs non-App Store apps. The most popular jailbroken phone storefront, Cydia, lets you install games and networking apps. Also banned from Appleâs app store are retro gaming emulators, which let you play older computer games for free. However, Cydia provides them free.
Remove pre-installed apps You canât change or delete iOSâs default apps like Apple Watch, Weather, Games Center, etc. Non-users dislike these appsâ memory usage. Replace Appleâs default apps with third-party ones with jailbreaking. Siri can use Google Maps instead of Apple Maps for directions.
Extra anti-theft features Some jailbreakers say it boosts anti-theft. Find My iPhone doesnât work in airplane mode, off, or offline. The jailbreak app iCaughtU claims to outperform Find My iPhone. The front-facing camera emails the owner a photo of a thief who enters the wrong passcode.
Cons of jailbreaking Stop auto-updates Apple will stop automatic updates. Each iOS version requires the jailbreaking communityâs hack. Since jailbreaking each iOS version takes time, you canât update your jailbroken phone until the latest update is jailbroken. Major updates may make jailbreaking difficult.
Problem updating software Several unauthorized modifications have rendered iPhones inoperable after iOS updates.
Voiding phone warranty The iOS end-user software license agreement prohibits unauthorized iOS modifications. Unauthorized software may prevent Apple from servicing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If your jailbroken device breaks, Apple may deny repairs.
Shorter battery life Hacked software drains iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch batteries faster.
Your phone could brick Bricked phones cannot boot, respond to input, or make calls. Jailbreaking does not brick the phone, but it poses risks.
Content or services may disappear Due to the loss of iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Pay, Weather, and Stocks, jailbreaking a phone for more content can backfire. Third-party apps using Apple Push Notification Service have had trouble receiving notifications or received notifications from hacked devices. Push services like iCloud and Exchange have server synchronization issues. Third-party providers may block jailbroken devices.
Your phone may crash more Your jailbroken iPhone or iPad may crash more. Jailbroken apps can access features and APIs Apple-approved apps cannot, so they may not be tested. The device may crash frequently, freeze built-in and third-party apps, and lose data.
Unreliable voice and data Jailbreaking can cause dropped calls, unreliable data, and inaccurate location data.
Data breaches Hackers accessed 225,000 jailbreakersâ iCloud accounts. Security vulnerabilities in jailbreaking allowed hackers to hack devices.
Security can be compromised iOS is one of the most secure mobile operating systems because itâs closed to protect your data and system. Jailbreaking your phone increases hackersâ chances of stealing data, damaging it, attacking your network, or installing malware, spyware, or viruses.
Security risks of jailbreaking Security risks arise from jailbreaking phones. Jailbreak gives you more device control, but apps get more control. These apps requesting root access pose the greatest security risks. Malware can gain root access to all data.
Jailbreaking bypasses Appleâs âwalled gardenâ. Because jailbroken phones bypass Appleâs app vetting, viruses and malware are more likely. Jailbreaking allows free app and game piracy. This means you trust app developers over Apple.
Jailbroken iPhones can compromise bank account, password, and social media data. This risk was highlighted by KeyRaider, which stole 225,000 Apple IDs and thousands of certificates, private keys, and purchasing receipts. The victims reported abnormal app purchases and ransomware-locked phones.
Jailbroken Malware and bugs can crash iPhones and disable important features. Smartphones raise mobile crime risk. You must monitor new threats and scams and install comprehensive mobile security.

The thing about cybersecurity within the context of dbh is that it is entirely possible that a significant percentage of things androids don't even need to "hack" as security measures in place of existing devices are made to stop humans from hacking them. ANDROIDS, however, may be made to be able to interact and exchange data with those devices BY DEFAULT, especially if device's manufacturer is CyberLife or one if it's filials/partners (I think CyberLife as a mega corporation is like Nestle that owns like 20+ different sub-companies like Maggi, Purina, NescafĂŠ, LĂłreal, Garnier, Aqua Panna... just to name a few)
Especially considering how androids are this really closed-up system that wasn't made to be accessed like computers. Quite literally everything about their inner software and ways to manipulate it is probably extremely proprietary, so end-user has absolutely no way to see what exactly androids are exchanging with other devices or what is it they are processing at the moment and how. Thing is, the communication between an android and other devices probably is encrypted but like, between androids and devices, so humans can only detect the fact of some packets being exchanged but can't really see the content of any of it. After all, androids are likely made to be easily compatible with all those smart home suite, but because humans aren't actually granted admin/root rights to their androids, it's "secure" for androids (any CyberLife android for that matter) to communicate with all those devices without additional authorization because they are already seen as authorized. Even those people who deal with android support and maintenance are probably only granted a fraction of actual admin rights, for troubleshooting and things like that.
Back to androids smoothly communicating with other smart devices. Even if their network traffic is visible, it is possible to hide the fact of them communicating by making it look like androids are communicating with other "middle-man" devices that have access to an actual target. So, in plain terms it means that android can get access to, let's say your phone by communicating to your smart air-conditionair or something that (of course) has its own app on your phone and air-conditionair is allowed to send data to your phone. So it will look like android is exchanging data with air-conditionair and air-conditionair is exchanging data with your phone, but in reality it's this android communicating with your phone.

I would love to share what I know with young or old folks who missed this sweet spot of tech creativity. Maybe those of us who know all the things need to start writing it down again. I learned so much on tutorials from IFixIt and other similar sites, not just YouTube vids (though those are great, too). But forum posts with screen shots and annotations and video clips taught me how to replace motherboards, jailbreak software, and customize my digital living spaces so much that I am honestly sad that this isn't a common skill anymore.
The phone I am typing this on is the first Android device I owned that I didn't root because it finally just did what I wanted it to. It is fun to know how to do this stuff. I hope we can keep sharing this kind of knowledge and keep this going.
You own your devices, they don't need to own you. If they don't do what you need them to, ask, and we can help you find ways to be happy with them :)

Why Every Android User Should Learn ADB and Fastboot CommandsÂ
In the world of Android smartphones, most users are familiar with basic functions like installing apps, adjusting settings, and browsing the internet. However, if you want to take your Android experience to the next level, you need to get comfortable with ADB and Fastboot commands. These powerful tools allow users to interact with their devices in ways that go beyond whatâs possible through the standard user interface. Whether youâre looking to root your device, flash a custom ROM, or perform advanced debugging, understanding ADB Fastboot commands can significantly enhance your Android journey.Â
What Are ADB and Fastboot?Â
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and Fastboot are command-line tools that provide a communication channel between your computer and Android devices. They are often used by developers and advanced users for tasks like system modifications, troubleshooting, and recovery. Though both are part of the Android SDK (Software Development Kit), they serve different purposes.Â
ADB is primarily used for managing and interacting with your Android device while itâs running. It allows you to send commands to your device via a USB connection, making tasks like installing apps, copying files, or debugging apps much easier.Â
Fastboot, on the other hand, operates at a lower level. Itâs used for tasks that involve your device's bootloader or recovery mode, such as unlocking the bootloader, flashing system partitions, or installing a custom recovery.Â
Understanding these two tools is essential if you want to fully unlock your deviceâs potential and make the most out of its capabilities. Whether youâre an enthusiast looking to customize your phone or a developer working on mobile apps, knowing ADB Fastboot commands will give you more control over your device.Â
Why Should Every Android User Learn ADB and Fastboot Commands?Â
1. Unlocking Advanced CustomizationÂ
One of the main reasons to learn ADB and Fastboot commands is the ability to unlock advanced customization options on your Android device. For instance, you can easily root your phone, flash a custom ROM, or install custom kernels, all of which can help you get more out of your device. These commands allow you to bypass the limitations of the stock operating system and experiment with features that may not be available out of the box.Â
2. Improved Troubleshooting and DebuggingÂ
ADB is a great tool for developers or anyone dealing with app-related issues. It allows you to debug apps directly on your Android device and even run commands that can simulate different conditions on your phone. If youâre troubleshooting a problem with your phone, you can use ADB commands to gather logs, reset settings, or even perform a factory reset if needed. This level of control can save you a lot of time and effort, especially if your device is unresponsive or malfunctioning.Â
3. Flashing and Installing UpdatesÂ
When it comes to flashing custom ROMs or installing updates manually, Fastboot commands are invaluable. Fastboot can be used to install system images, recoveries, and bootloaders, which are essential for upgrading your device or rolling back to an older version. In some cases, manufacturers may not provide over-the-air updates for older devices, and Fastboot provides an easy solution to update your phone to the latest version of Android.Â
4. Rooting Your DeviceÂ
Rooting an Android device can unlock full access to the system files, enabling you to customize the phone in ways that are otherwise impossible. While there are many apps that claim to root your phone with a single click, using ADB and Fastboot commands provides a more reliable and flexible way to gain root access. It also gives you the ability to undo the process easily, unlike some one-click solutions.Â
5. A Smarter Way to Manage Apps and FilesÂ
With ADB, you can install, uninstall, or back up apps directly from your computer. This is particularly useful for managing multiple devices or for performing bulk operations on apps. You can even install APK files without using the Play Store, which can be useful for testing or for sideloading apps that arenât available in your region.Â
6. Boosting PerformanceÂ
If you want to get the most performance out of your Android device, you may need to modify some system settings. Fastboot commands can be used to tweak your device's bootloader and recovery partitions, which can lead to performance improvements. Additionally, ADB can be used for clearing cache, monitoring battery usage, or even disabling unnecessary apps that drain your device's resources.Â
7. Save Money with a Mobile App Cost CalculatorÂ
If you're a developer or an entrepreneur interested in building an Android app, understanding ADB and Fastboot commands can also help in assessing the app's potential performance across different devices. For those looking to understand the costs involved in mobile app development, a mobile app cost calculator can give a ballpark estimate based on factors like design complexity, features, and platform requirements. By using ADB for testing and Fastboot for flashing different ROMs, you can also test your app on multiple Android versions and devices, ensuring it runs smoothly across a broad range of smartphones.Â
Ready to Get Started?Â
If you're interested in taking your Android skills to the next level, learning ADB and Fastboot commands is a must. The process may seem intimidating at first, but with practice, these tools will give you unprecedented control over your device. You can easily unlock its full potential, whether youâre troubleshooting, rooting, or flashing new software.Â
If you're interested in exploring the benefits of adb fastboot commands services for your business, we encourage you to book an appointment with our team of experts.Â
Book an AppointmentÂ
ConclusionÂ
In conclusion, Fastboot commands are an essential part of any Android enthusiast's toolkit. Whether you are looking to unlock advanced features, troubleshoot issues, or install custom ROMs, these commands offer a level of control and flexibility that the standard user interface just canât match. So, if youâre serious about exploring your Android device's true potential, learning ADB and Fastboot commands is a game-changer that will open up a world of possibilities.Â
