Amazing. no humans are willing to do this type of work for under a hundred dollars like LLMs and would've taken a year or more.

I think LLMs open up a great new vector for jailbreaking old devices or firmwares that no longer get factory updates.

Humans do it for free. I've got two Amazon Fire tables from a fire sale for $15 each and used a package, that exploits the SOC, from the XDA forums to install full Android on them. Every smartphone I've had before this free Oneplus Nord N30 was rooted and then and had a custom android installed, many of the root processes relied on doing exploits all the way back to my CyanogenMod days.
