Question: checking OTA certificates #140

Hallo guys,

do you have some information about checking for Over The Air (OTA) certificates?

And why you don't do it?

for example what I plan to do - https://github.com/WuglyakBolgoink/cordova-plugin-iroot/blob/06497315a58d4697777ccd8080c232324734c6a0/src/android/de/cyberkatze/iroot/InternalRootDetection.java#L187-L204

If I understand right, if this certificates file exist, then the device was not rooted. Is it correct?

This looks interesting, it's not something I'm very familiar with but it would look like this is more of an indication of a custom rom, or ones that doesn't support OTA which may lead to false positives as it's not a 100% indication that the device is rooted.
