The first part covers flaws in manufacturer-modified Recovery modes, which can allow privilege escalation to root and booting into the main Android system without unlocking the bootloader — using only a microSD card. The second part examines a vulnerability in the secondary bootloader of a popular smartphone brand. By exploiting an issue in the USB stack, the researcher demonstrates how to achieve code execution and load a modified Android system without breaking device functionality.
