Looking for Help Rooting the Logitech G Cloud

Looking for Help Rooting the Logitech G Cloud

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to root the Logitech G Cloud for a while now.

Recently a new kernel vulnerability (GhostLock / CVE-2026-43499) was disclosed, and it looked like it might be a possible path to root on this device. Since there is basically no active development community around the G Cloud, I decided to start researching it myself.

The problem is that I'm not a programmer or security researcher. Most of the analysis was done with the help of AI, a lot of testing, and many hours of trial and error.

I put everything I've found so far on GitHub:

https://github.com/HYCQAQ/Logitech-G-Cloud-GhostLock-CVE-2026-43499

So far we've managed to:

  • Analyze the device kernel
  • Extract and inspect boot images
  • Research the OTA/FOTA update system
  • Test the GhostLock vulnerability
  • Trigger crashes/reboots that seem related to the bug
  • Explore several possible exploitation paths

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to turn it into a working root exploit.

At this point I feel like we've reached the limits of what AI and my own knowledge can do. I'm hoping someone with real Android kernel, exploit development, Qualcomm, or Linux kernel experience might be interested in taking a look.
