From 2009 to 2017 I kept a set of homebrew tools around Motorola and Xiaomi on a Mac. The public remainder is two repositories:

  • Moto-X-2014-Flash — Mac bash to drop the unlocked-bootloader warning and to recovery-flash a 2014 Moto X.
  • MiFlash-for-Mac — the MiFlash flow without needing Windows.

There was also Kreep Out, to strip malicious scripts off devices that had been loaded with whatever people found online. The scripts are historical: they match those devices and those firmware builds, not general advice for phones today.

On the timeline.
