So this is how Casetify is advertising their brand after stealing dbrands' work previously for which they were sued as well.

Sure it will be invisible after the screen gets turned ON but still isn't the box advertisement enough ?

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun redefines the meaning of 'copying' as 'benchmarking'

Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun claims that Xiaomi 17 series is created to benchmark iPhones.

Q. So how does one benchmark iPhone according to Lei Jun?
Ans. You just make a copy of iPhone

That's why the Xiaomi 17 series has:
1:1 naming scheme
1:1 wallpaper (15S Pro),
1:1 icons
1:1 browser & photos UI
1:1 menu sheet
1:1 control center/ QS tiles
1:1 dynamic island (poorly implemented)

Interestingly:

"As we know, the exploit has been patched on newer devices. From what I could confirm, devices released after in 2024 and after are patched against Carbonara, but some are still vulnerable anyway (most likely, OEMs not pulling mediatek patches in time)."
Some devices I could confirm being vulnerable are:

- Moto G23/G13
- Moto G24
- Honor 200 Lite

BREAKING: Xiaomi 16 Series has been cancelled

To copy Apple 1:1, Xiaomi has decided to cancel the 16 series. That's because:

1. Since the iPhone 17 series exists in 2025, Xiaomi will also call it the Xiaomi 17 series.

2. As iPhone 17 Pro Max exists, Xiaomi will also launch a 3rd model which will be called Xiaomi 17 Pro Max

My dearest condolences to every Xiaomi user who plans to buy the flagship 17 series, because you will be seen in the world as a "poor man's iPhone" user. Heck even BBK or Oppo Group didn't change their flagship phones naming just to copy Apple

A Groundbreaking Approach to App Stability on HyperOS

When you encounter an unresponsive App now, please do not keep tapping "Wait," otherwise you might lose important data. The bug exist since 2022 (atleast) & is discovered by a content creator on Billibil.

To prevent key system apps from continuously having ANR (Application Not Responding) errors or crashing, which leads to the phone getting stuck on the boot animation or other issues, Xiaomi added a "RescuePartyPlus" feature on top of Android's original "RescueParty" mechanism which will attempt to self-rescue the system by clearing the cache & data. You can even find the official MIUI announcement triggered by this feature which dates back to the 2022 featurem

However, since its Xiaomi, the developers actually forgot to make the code check of whether the unresponsive app is a system App. So, after a user's App is repeatedly unresponsive, Xiaomi's HyperOS clears the app data 🥳

Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo under investigation for alleged $700 Million fund diversion

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in India has tasked the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) with investigating Chinese smartphone makers Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi after a Registrar of Companies (RoC) report alleged fund diversion to the tune of Rs 6,000 crore (~ $700 Million), two government sources have told Moneycontrol.

"SFIO is probing Vivo. Xiaomi and Oppo have also given to SFIO. Fund diversions have been alleged in the RoC report. Once the SFIO report is finalised, they will submit it to the MCA"
“The SFIO process will take about a year and began earlier this year in March"

Once finalised, the SFIO’s findings will be submitted to the ministry, which has the authority to initiate legal proceedings against the companies, their directors and related entities in a special court.

Vivo's OriginOS is finally coming Globally

Vivo EU and Vivo IN website -- https://www.vivo.com/eu/originos is officially live. Although the page still talks about FunTouchOS 15 only.

However, don't expect full OriginOS as in China to come to global units. It will be a watered down version like Xiaomi does it. In another words, to make users happy, Vivo is just renaming FunTouchOS to OriginOS to fool users.

They will simply add some features of OriginOS China which they also does in FunTouchOS anyways but you can expect a big UI overhaul atleast this time.

OriginOS for global will be released sometime in November and December, whenever Vivo X300 series will debug globally.

Happy to share the public release of a PoC for Carbonara, a 2023 MediaTek DA1 exploit that has been used by multiple tools over the past few years but never before had a public release / information / reference.

The PoC is called penumbra, and it was fully developed from scratch by shomy! Make sure to check it out: https://github.com/shomykohai/penumbra! It also includes a great documentation.

She reverse engineered a paid GSM tool and, with a bit of help from me to understand the exploit mechanics, produced both the PoC and clear documentation explaining how the exploit works.

As a bonus, here's an MTKClient pull request that adds support for Carbonara, making the exploit available to other SoCs that aren't currently supported by penumbra.

Once again, huge thanks to shomy for the original research and implementation!

LINUX NERDS ARE MAD. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Linux nerds do NOT fuck around with performance.

Noted from The Lunduke Journal, "Ubuntu’s plan to replace the GNU Core Utils with Rust-based reimplementations is going exactly as poorly as predicted. Some Rust versions being 17 times slower than the battle tested GNU C / C++ version. And other Rust-based versions simply failing to work on large files."

Nothing Phone 2a Bootloader Exploit Working

A new exploit called Fenrir targets the Nothing Phone 2a, CMF Phone 1 & other MediaTek-powered devices. It takes advantage of a flaw in how the phone starts up, allowing full control over the device before Android even loads. Even after waiting for 1 month, Nothing ignored the developer's bootloader vulnerability report affecting CMF Phone 1 and Phone 2a and thus developer made it exploit public.

When you power on your phone, it goes through several steps to make sure everything is secure and untampered. This is called the secure boot chain. Each of these steps is trusted only if the previous one verifies it.

1. BootROM – The first code built into the chip. It loads the next part.
2. Preloader – Loads the next component, called bl2_ext, and normally checks it.
3. bl2_ext – This runs at the highest privilege level (EL3) and is supposed to check everything else.
4. TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) – Handles secure operations like fingerprint data and encryption.
5. GenieZone – A MediaTek component that manages access to the secure system.
6. LK / AEE – Boots the Android operating system and handles crash logging.
7. Linux Kernel – This is Android. The phone is now fully booted.

This exploit abuses a flaw in the MediaTek boot chain. When the bootloader is unlocked (seccfg), the Preloader skips verification of the bl2_ext partition, even though bl2_ext is responsible for verifying everything that comes after it. So if bl2_ext it's not verified and can be modified, it compromises the entire secure boot process. The exploit modifies a function called sec_get_vfy_policy() inside bl2_ext, making it always return "0", so an unverified bl2_ext running at EL3 now happily loads unverified images for the rest of the boot chain.

Additionally, the included PoC also spoofs the device’s lock state as locked so you can pass strong integrity checks anywhere while being unlocked. Someone even managed to pass Basic, Device and Strong integrity on LineageOS for Phone 2a without rooting, spoofing, using pixel fingerprint or leaked keybox.

Vivo X80 Pro is also vulnerable & it has a more severe version of the flaw, as it fails to verify bl2_ext even with a locked bootloader. You can read more about the usage of exploit here:

Xiaomi No Longer Cares About India, Shifts Focus to Europe

Xiaomi HQ (China) has decided that India market is not their focus anymore & they will instead focus on European & other South Asian markets.

In 2018, India was Xiaomi’s 2nd largest market, contributing 45% of its total global sales. But now, India no longer ranks among Xiaomi’s top 5 markets across the 100+ countries it operates in, with its contribution to total sales falling to a single-digit percentage in 2025.

"India-specific product development has ceased (Xiaomi 15 Civi is cancelled for India), with a focus only on global products. Xiaomi India's plans to launch its expensive foldable phones, are delayed by the group. Xiaomi global stopped plans to launch new categories like washing machines and ACs in India. Testing for these products, including refrigerators, had already been completed, and the company was in talks for their introduction,” the executive said.
