I think that's the one most likely of doing any good however it requires waiting till gb is released which some people don't want to do.

I am just learning to theme so im not very knowledgeable on programming at all lol. But when moto releases an ota what file or whatever do they use for the phone to accept it? Is there a way to get what you need from any of that? Probably a stupid noobie thought but I was just thinking in my little brain.

I think it just parses your build.prop for ro.fingerprint and device and id, and then checks for all the stock apps... I could just be making that up though.. thats just what I thought...

Wouldnt it have to open the bootloader and all that jazz in order to upgrade the kernel to the gingerbread one though? That would require the key to be sent along with the ota update.

Ahh.. I see what you are saying, yes it would.. but rest assured that key is also encrypted and also probably not easy to locate on the file. But you are correct... there has to exist something on that file to let it do what it does...

But you are correct... there has to exist something on that file to let it do what it does. I suppose that could be a course of action... I just don't see that being a way to get around the encryption scheme though. It's not like the gb image is gonna have a txt file on it called moto keys.. lol.. I wish though...

Even if its encrypted its still there. Probably encrypted just as heavily but still, gives another shot at something to crack.
SHA-1 encryption has been broken by a team of researchers; Xiaoyun Wang, Yiqun Lisa Yin, and Hongbo Yu, and apparently they have been shadily distributing their paper, but its not readily publicly available. They used hash collisions to break the encryption. I personally know calculus, differential equations, greens and stokes theorem, and linear albegra, but this type of math is still way over my head. From my limited understanding on this...hash collisions would be the only real way to actually crack the encryption (vs. bypass, or the work you have been doing..), and considering that it has already been done, then I suppose that makes it a viable solution. I don't know if a team of researchers from Shandong University in China would care enough about the android hacker community to share their findings... but I suppose anything is possible. If in fact they were willing to share this information, the function could be used in a powerful computational program such as Maple, Matlab, or Mathmatica, to generate the private keys... but I think you might need the public key..? Like I said...I really only have a surface-level understanding of whats involved.
I agree with the posts above. There is some sort of equation we have to find that Motorola uses for encryption. I wrote an encryption program last year and math is how it works.

Well RSA is just linear algebra, as it SHA-*. It's just linear algebra on a vector quantity or matrix instead of a single number.
I have been looking into hash collisions, but I'm not sure how viable it would be to pad our modded bootloader with 0x00's to actually collide.
