AngelaRoot

Whats this and behind the story:

• Well, all of this story is started with the exploration of vulnerability in Oneplus devices by mysterious twitter user who are using 'Elliot Alderson' as her/his nickname :) and you know Elliot Alderson is the real name of main character which is pro-hacker in Mr.Robot series, you can take a look his/her twitter flood from here https://twitter.com/fs0c131y/status/930115188988182531?lang=tr he just found out an unknown app which called as 'EngineerMode.apk' in Oneplus phones and later he succesfully disassembled the apk and found the vulnerability, the app itself is a testing app and left by Oneplus engineers while production, and as a mistake (but lots of people think that they put it intentionally for spying users) they forgot to remove that test app from release-builds,
• THE MOST MYSTERIOUS PART is: with that app and vulnerability, users (and hackers too) can grant root privileges (god mode in linux, you can do anything you want with that root privileges) with the following command adb shell am start -n com.android.engineeringmode/.qualcomm.DiagEnabled --es "code" "PASSWD" and what is PASSWD, well its 'Angela' :) thanx to twitter user who explored this vulnerability, he also disassembled/extracted required password to issue the above command, and it really shocked lots of people, the password was 'Angela' and who is Angela, well its a name of another character who is playing as close friend of 'Elliot Alderson' in Mr.Robot series and nickname of twitter user who explored this vulnerability is Elliot Alderson as i wrote above

And what is AngelaRoot app, well after exploration of vulnerability, i succesfully made an app which automates all process so users dont need to make lots of steps, they just need to initiate 2 scripts after opening app and voila they can grant root privilege to their android phones
