Thanks jcase!
Confirmed, password works and I was able to get a shell on the eDGe with adb. only difference is the path for the "enable Debug" setting. It's Settings --> eDGe Settings --> Default Device Preferences --> Turn Debug On or Off |

I tried the password and it certainly works, however, I'm having problems with the adb since I have never used it before. I have the android sdk installed.
After turning the debug on I connected the edge to the USB and typed adb devices but it didn't listed the edge. Also tried mounting the edge and that didn't work either. What am I missing? Thanks |

wow, I can't believe how much people have learn't about the eDGe already. I've only had my eDGe a coupld of weeks and already I know there is hardware in the eDGe that is not enabled. I have rooted and enabled adb (which is making app development a lot easier). and there is custom firmware on the way.
none of this down to me, I've just read the forums! you guys are amazing. thank you, thank you, thank you, andy. |

Are there disadvantages and/or risks to rooting the eDGe this way? And is this reversible?

Okay, I'll take a few guesses here:
Is it reversable : Yes, just uncheck the Debug option in settings. disadvantages : compared to other rooting methods? I don't think so. this is the easiest and (probably) safest way to root. risks: don't know, but I have been running as root for a few days and everything seems fine. |

the risk is not in rooting, but current firmware has at least 10 vulnerabilities that endanger users private data and Entourage must correct those with utmost urgency!

MichaelV:
Please turn in a support ticket outlining these vulnerabilities. We can look into them. Right now, we believe the platform and our customers' data is safe. DP |

you got 3 publicly in the vulnerabilities forum, that definitely are endangering the customer data. Justin is saving the rest of them after you done the patch.... or in a public review/article about the unit and its vulnerabilities.

As a an owner and user of the Edge, I would be upset if someone disclosed vulnerabilities in a public review or article before identifying them to the developers. If you're aware of vulnerabilities, what's the point of not sharing them with the developers?

Of course JCase was compiling for Arm. He is a very experienced developer. the proof that GPL source is incomplete was already sent to you.

nprnncbl,
When a company calls the a person's requests illegitimate, compares his name to a cartoon character, and is not in GPL compliance. Why should I assist them? I have no current plans to disclose any vulnerabilities, in private or public. |

As I said, this is all Entourage mess not Jcase. they should have complied with the GPL requests months ago. Also any offer to co-operate from Robot was denied. And none of them asked for money... Entourage should come with a full code and an immediate patch for listed vulnerabilities. and an apology to people like Robot and Jcase. Coming clean with limit the damage and get the community behind again.
