| Android Nougat will not boot if you have malware The newest version of Android has a compulsory boot check which will prevent you starting your phone if you have malware installed. Android devices ran the check as part of the boot process and in Marshmallow, the phone would warn you that your phone was compromised but would let the phone boot. Nougat says no. According to the Android Developer’s bog not only does Nougat strictly enforces the boot check, giving you far more than a warning. Your phone will refuse to boot or will boot in a limited capacity mode (presumably akin to safe mode) until you can get rid of the malware. Of course this means that some non-malicious corruption of data might also brick your phone. http://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/4117...u-have-malware |
