I need to add a root certificate to Android systems. I hope to achieve this by copying the appropriate file the following path: /system/etc/security/cacerts, or using a flashable zip.
Due to the fact that applications from Android version 7 and upwards no longer trust user-added CAs by default, I will need to do this to many tens of devices from multiple vendors.
Possible methods:
Drawbacks:
Rooting:
Custom recovery:
Is there an easier and more generic method to achieve my goal?
Due to the fact that applications from Android version 7 and upwards no longer trust user-added CAs by default, I will need to do this to many tens of devices from multiple vendors.
Possible methods:
- Rooting the devices
- Via a custom recovery
Drawbacks:
Rooting:
- I will need to separately find a method of rooting each device. There is no generic rooting method that will work for all devices.
Custom recovery:
- I will need to obtain multiple customized TWRP (or other) recovery images, one for each device model.
- Not all devices have custom recovery images available.
Is there an easier and more generic method to achieve my goal?
