you should know at this point redhat doesn’t do only linux, so there being a redhat person doesn’t mean it’s linux based

wiping data and formatting storage are different things

you need to clean flash and format the internal storage

why or how is fedora security?

on a side note, there is another project called APatch which takes KSU’s approach to rooting even further https://github.com/bmax121/APatch

it’s only open in words, the android phone you purchase from oems contains plenty of proprietary stuff, not only from the oem itself but from google and and even the chipmakers like Qualcomm as well and in some cases like play integrity, an open alternative doesn’t exist on top of that, oems don’t just receive the aosp from google for their devices but something called partner sources as well and i don’t know much about them except that they aren’t publicly available

edit;and yes as you might have expected a lot of hardware in your android phone is pretty unusuable without proprietary stuff though i think i am sidetracking from the main topic at discussion now…

i wasn’t talking about that shitty 3 months late article which doesn’t even talk about all the things, i was talking about the google blog where they said

We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection. With this upgrade, if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials.

this is old

the factory reset protection shit isn’t new, it has existed for a long time and is called google frp, where frp literally means factory reset protection

CAF isn’t dead though, it is CLO now

i don’t think what grapheneOS wants is to be able to spoof or bypass play integrity, they just wanna be able to implement it as well just like oems do so if someone will tamper the system in graphene as well, play integrity should blow off and drm content will be safe
