Hello.

I created this wiki, originally as a place for me to document useful information I find about various hardware. This was actually going to be a personal wiki originally, however I realized the wiki would potentially be much more useful if others could add information. Who knows, maybe someday, it might document high amounts of devices.

Also, I am actually fairly new to the Android device hacking scene. I began looking into it in 2024, and have since learned many things. I am also still quite new to low-level programming and reverse engineering.

Some things I aim to do eventually:

• Port galaxy_s5_dev_tree_appended_bug to my AT&T Galaxy S5.
• Reverse engineer Samsung's reactivation lock (libterrier.so?) and document it (that's where the 'obscure' in 'Somewhat Obscure Computing' comes from - I doubt this feature is well documented!) (some reversing work done).
• Use an exploit to tethered unlock my Galaxy J3 Prime, Galaxy J7 Prime and/or my Galaxy J3 Orbit (if possible) (also document the steady partition on the wiki) (making progress now!).
• Port an EFI implementation to an x86 phone (Asus Z00D).
• Write a tool to reliably exploit Dirty Cow, preferably without touching /system and escalating to the init context (for legacy devices of course) (also, can I easily write process memory? I suppose I will find out...).
• Look into unlock methods for various phones... (I own too many).
