Yes, its not 4.3 compatible, but it still fixes a bunch of little issues i've noticed

Hey hello Morlok8k, thanks very much for those changes I'll review them
quickly and merge.

I'm sad the app cannot work anymore for it's main purpose on 4.3 and I
think before publishing an update something should be done about addressing
this, like a fat warning to people in 4.2.x explaining them that if they
update and their boot-loader is locked, possibly preventing firmware
downgrade it's possible they will lose root forever.

Yes, you should put a nice big warning on the app saying it doesn't work on 4.3.

I actually made these changes months ago, but forgot to submit a pull request.

maybe with some research, people can find a way to securely protect root. 4.3 is really new.

[supercurio]

Yep. I studied the question right away but the security model is really
different, enough to break the previous paradigms.
And on the Nexuses, attempts to keep root make the OTA fail as it cannot
rewrite or delete some immutable files.

On some other devices, it might be possible to keep root thanks to the fact
they use different OTA mechanisms tho.
