Presented at Black Hat Europe 2014, Oct. 16, 2014, 4 p.m. (30 minutes)

I'll expose USB vulnerability in some vendor's customization of the Android system, I'll also target that vulnerability in a specific vendor, together with a proof of concept of the attack and practical scenario environment, and I will unveil the implications of such vulnerability. Culminating in the flashing of a compromised boot partition, and root access.
