Re: How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers to connect to each other & Windows?

  IMO, the 'no-root' philosophy of Android (and iOS?) is broken from the
start. I can't access my files in Android\data etc.? I can't run a
server on a <1024 port? Etc., etc.. But I *can* (f.e. Samsung) unlock
the bootloader and blow everything to bits!?

Yes - because unlocking the bootlader is not possible without wiping the
device. So no risk of getting access to data for an attacker. Also this
requires understanding how to install ADB and how to enter fast boot
mode on the device and so on...
