The file transfer protocol is partially based on ADB and is rather easily accessible, but by default it only runs signed binaries and no one obviously provides the official toolchain with signing. You have to abuse a bug where the existing signed apps start loading shared libraries, since those are not checked for signing

There's also a bunch of other flaws that add up to a rooted env in the end :3

I would've expect it to be far more tied down, the ones I played with wouldn't budge in any way and had all kinds of anti tamper mechanisms.

nice, thanks for explaining!

the system disk image + ROMs and the binary is being ran from the SD card since the internal storage has only 128MB and that's not enough for everything (and also because it also includes an SD slot for some reason)

+ a lot of tears and sweat for the effort of getting it built for the old target
