> Rooting in this context means unlocking the bootloader to allow for a custom OS/kernel that isn't signed by the OEM That would not be the correct usage of the term "rooting". "Rooting" on Android systems generally means to install a `su` binary (like Magisk) that you can use to give apps root permissions, thus completely circumventing the normal android app permission system. > I'd rather have the ability to enroll my own keys so I can boot my own signed OS and maintain a root of trust that I own much like what can be done on desktop Linux with a TPM. IIRC Google's Pixel phones have this ability (and are one of the few phones that have this ability if I'm not mistaken). I agree completely. I have a Google Pixel and use this with GrapheneOS. This feature is `called avb_custom_key`, and yeah, unfortunately only some devices support it. https://github.com/chenxiaolong/avbroot/issues/299 |
