I'm sure of this because we've been seeing it a lot. The point that I am unsure about is where this person works, at Google or Onyx.
I already feared this and regretted updating. I hate it because it makes disabling bloat a lot harder! : /

That's awesome to read! Would it be possible for you going into detail on how to accomplish it on each method or are there already any resources on the forum where I can read about it more precisely? I'd really like to help saving this thread becoming obsolete. : )

Ad EDL: do you mean the loader ./edl/Loaders/qualcomm/factory/sdm662/0014d0e100000000_d40eee56f3194665_FHPRG.bin I used from https://github.com/bkerler/edl (cf. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=33 )?

Ad dd command: is there an easy way one would gain a root shell on an unrooted device?

Thanks!
