Is there a way to jailbreak an Android phone using this exploit?
You could just unlock the bootloader
Assuming the bootloader is unlockable
You could just buy an android phone that encourages this. All Pixels, for example.
"Buy a different phone" is not an option for everybody
No, but buy a different one when this one breaks is.
Which doesn't solve the problem for either me or the person who asked the question, yes I know better than to get a Samsung now, but I plan on keeping my phone for as long as I can regardless
Saying something we already know doesn't help anybody
It helps them long term
Of course it helps them

+1 for Pixels but -1 for Google's "support". You'll never talk to a human with them. I love GrapheneOS on my Pixel though, and they're really the only phones you can install it on cause you can re-lock the bootloader on it after installing. CalyxOS (fork of Graphene with slightly less sandboxing) does support FairPhone 4&5 and a few Motorola phones though.
