Going out on a limb here... have any of you done any bare-metal phone programming (not counting compiling like AOSP and such, like totally arbitrary code at boot-time, or bootloader coding, ideally) or know someone that has? A friend got bit by a bad iOS app on a jailbroken iPhone 8 (checkra1n, so no unsigned firms or anything) that has installed a bad iCloud lock on the device, and I need checkm8 shellcode to zero most of if not all of the NAND to get rid of it (since an iTunes restore preserves that data) and I can't figure out jack shit about how any of this works, since ARM isn't strict on what goes where in the address space or how to access hardware.

    This is one of those "hours of work to fix" vs "buy a new phone and lesson learned scenarios.

    You might get real lucky and solve it in a few hours. More likely you'll just burn more time than the phone is worth trying to save it.

    @SortOfTested a new iPhone 8 received as a present by someone who can't just drop the money for a new one.
    @C0D4 verified shit can still be malicious

    @Haxk20 I have DFU code exec, again, checkm8. The issue is, *what boot?* i need something very much like CWM or TWRP here.

    @Haxk20 boot0 (and DFU) are their own ROM chips (no idea what kind tho), which is why checkm8 works. They're separate (that's why it can't be patched out!)

    @Haxk20 hence my issue, yes. It took forever for the checkra1n team to get a framebuffer, much less anything else.

    Update: apparently it just kinda... worked. In the middle of trying different shit, something I did worked, lock's gone.

    Huh.
