[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
well samsung might not be putting keyloggers. But they sure install rootkits for drm purposes (i have known that since i first got my samsung mp3 and installed media studio as a syncing program).

Dont believe me? Open your kies folder or program files folder on your hard drive. You will find it. Its called content safer.

As our great spacemoose dev said why does samsung have to do everything in backwards ass possible.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I don't have such a folder, but the existence of a folder doesn't imply the existence of a rootkit. I've tried googling "samsung kies rootkit" and found nothing.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Its there. Contentsafer folder search it and google. A nosy intrusive piece of software. Search program x86 folder. Came with kies.

www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic77076.html
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
OK, I have it under "C:\Program Files (x86)\MarkAny\ContentSafer".

However, I wouldn't exactly call it a rootkit - it's just installed as part of the Kies installation, doesn't try to hide itself and when you remove Kies it is uninstalled.

To me, that doesn't meet the definition of a rootkit.

Dave

Found a suggestion on how to remove this. I'm going to try this method - but if anyone can suggest a better way, please describe?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekeyus:
wow thank you for that explanation. that is pure evil time to boot into safe mode and eradicate this plague.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trekeyus:
I have since redone my system and flat out refused to install Kies. you can install the usb drivers separately and not get this spyware installed on your systems. as to removing it once you installed it it's just a matter of booting your desktop/laptop into safemode finding it renaming it and running a reg cleaner like ccleaner. you will however lose the ability to use Kies to install signed firmware updates etc but it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. after all your could always use Odin for flashing. the data is not actually encrypted etc just watermarked so you will not lose access to any files it touched but if you did a bit for bit comparison on them you might see the changes the watermarking did to them in a hex editor. what worry's me most about this spywear is it digitally watermarks every single media file on your computer and talls some random server in god knows what country the checksum in short nasty nasty nasty form a privacy perspective.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RashAPu:
My dog is afraid of smoke detectors, and unfortunately, the Max volume tone is sort of on the same tone frequency as a low battery alert on a smoke detector, and well everytime i Max volume , undesired results. If I were to delete the mp3 (Which I found) would this cause any other issues system wide?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Hey everyone, so it's high time i get off stock 2.1 JH7 and onto some decent ROMs (Firefly in this case, i heard it's good and doesn't drain the battery as much. Used Cognition 2.3b7 before)

First of all, the phone works fine under normal conditions as a USB mass storage device.

So I'm following the normal procedure for rooting the phone (this is my replacement phone), So i downloaded the drivers again (x64) and installed them, downloaded dotNet 4.0 fix and installed, put my phone into USB debugging mode, and hook up the phone...

So i get to the device driver installation screen and I get the following:

SAMSUNG Android USB Composite device Ready to use

CDC Abstract Control Module Installing device software

USB Media Storage Device Failed

S3C6410 Android ADB Installing device software

Now the first phone had no problems, why the USB Media Storage Device failed i have no idea... am I supposed to mount it in USB debugging?

The other two things being installed stay in a constant loop and never actually install for some reason.

Am I doing something wrong? Following this order

1) Downloaded and installed 64 bit drivers (Win 7 Pro x64)

2) Installed dotNet 4.0 fix

3) Put phone in USB debugging

4) Run one-click root...

Should I just root the phone manually? I want to be able to use one-click root to unroot the phone when i need to.

Thanks for the time and consideration guys :)

Interesting, tried it on my laptop ( Vista HP 32bit) and had no issues.... I wonder what's wrong with my desktop...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
The 64 bit drivers are kind of screwy. I had flashed countless roms and one day my computer, win 7 64 bit, just decides to not recognize my phone in download mode tried all versions of odin and then uninstalling drivers rebooting and reinstalling them no dice nothing would get it recognized in download mode, finally had to restore my system, luckily I make a restore point about once a week, and that did the trick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Well, just going to use my laptop to play with my phone then :P I prefer my desktop though, but since it works, why not :P

Oh quick question. From stock JH7, should I be using Odin3 to revert my phone to JF6 or am I ok to proceed? I know that from my previous phone i updated to JH7 before installing cognition 2.3b7. Would it be safer to just flash JF6? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Jh7 is still 2.1 right? It has a 2e recovery? If so then you are good. If you try to flash and you get a signing error then its a 3e recovery and flashing to jf6 will fix that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SladeZero:
I had thos problem the moment i flashed my phone... I had to down load the application from samsung website. The regular drivers stop working. Then i was able to put cog from win64 to my phone.

Also the name of the driver is like serial com somethng. It allows odin to properly connect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Yea, recovery says 2e. I'm not going to bother using my desktop if my laptop works fine. Anyways just bought Ti backup pro, and backing up my apps now before I put my new rom on (cog or firefly). I updated superuser by accident, don't think there should be too many issues.

Yes I'm new with most of this. Use backup of user apps and system data? Then what should I backup, since I'm trying to avoid all bloatware? Then when putting it back on, use restore the same? Or just apps?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If you want to get rid of the bloat, you will have to go through and unselect all the garbage you don't need/want when running the batch backup. After flashing "restore missing apps and data" restoring system data causes problems, you can restore individual system things like wifi access points, and contacts storage (or any green system data)

Hope that wasn't too scatter brained I'm kinda stoned.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
(I said before I was new to TiBackup :P and Android rooting for that matter)

Anyways, what I was looking for was to just back up the apps that have extensive settings/game progress and wifi stuff.

Looking at the batch list, it gets a bit confusing as to what process does what...

It's safe to uncheck all the red ones right? Then I get the green processes that I have no idea what they specifically do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Ok, then choose backup user apps, and after that runs, hit the backup/restore button at the top in the middle and choose the green system settings you want, you probably just want the wifi access points and [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage (that's all your texts and phone log data)

After flash is the same as I said before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Yes! Thank you so much!

Firefly here I come :)

Oh last question. Should I need to save the titanium backup folder first to my computer before putting my new ROM on?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You don't HAVE to, but just to be safe I copy the whole sdcard took my pc. Never had an issue where I lost any data but I don't ever want to and be s.o.l.

Oh and before you restore, st the bottom left of titanium backup there Is a button that says "problems?" Hit that and install busybox.

Last but not least enjoy firefly, it's my favorite.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bane99:
Yup, everything is now backed up.

Went into ClockworkMod (ROM Manager), booted into ClockworkMod recovery mode to make a backup and I get....

Android Recovery 2e

Only options are to reboot, install packages, delete data, etc

What happened to ClockworkMod recovery.... so I can make a backup of my ROM? By allowing ROM Manager to make a backup i get the same screen.

I've already Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery (Version 2.5.1.2)

Oh I already did the busybox installation on Ti-Backup.

______

If this helps, I deleted the update.zip that was in the internal SD card. I assumed this was put there by the One click root. Perhaps that was in error?

______

Yup, just saw that by reflashing CWM it put another update.zip in the card. Loaded that twice and now am in CWM Recovery :D good to go

And finally, starts the long process of waiting for the phone to get to 100% battery before putting the ROM on :(
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Why is it so hard for my Mac, or my NS, or visa versa, to swap files back and forth via bluetooth? Music files are fine, but .apk's or what have you do not transfer smoothy and it really agitates me, expecially when I'm charging. Any ideas on how to make any file type transferrable?

No idea but bluetooth file transfer? Who's got that kind of time in 2011, amirite?
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:

transferring a tiny little .apk file thats 75.5kbs via bluetooth is much much faster than busting out the USB cord, enabling USB Mass Driver, waiting for it to pop up, and then dragging and dropping. I'm not transferring my whole music library over to my phone via bluetooth

[Nexus S General] booyakasha:
+1 (but I use Linda instead of Astro). I used to use bluetooth, but dropbox really is loads better. Give it a shot if you haven't before.

Having said that, I've consistently had issues BT transferring files with my Mac, even way back when I was on WM6. It just never plays nice :/
[Nexus S General] n1ggyn1ce:
I could never transfer apks using bluetooth on mac...used to be able to transfer folders containing items before but not anymore. Now I just use it to transfer individual stuff.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:

just get your free 2GB Dropbox account and transfer files instantly over WiFi

it's so fast, so simple, and so easy :)

ages of messing around with the USB / BT is long gone, with all the free cloud services now in days
[Nexus S General] glmrckr:

http://blog.thecodecracker.com/hacks/spoof-mac-address-in-android/

but they dont seem to stick. when i connect back to my wifi network (at home) it just goes back to the corrupt one. anyone have any experience with this?

i havent been able to connect in about 3 months so as you might imagine, im really getting frustrated with it. any help would be great.

Ayman

Edit*

Temporary Fix:

1) Go to wireless & network settings

2) Disconnect and forget ALL previous SSID's that you connected to before

3) download a terminal emulator from the market

4) type the following, make sure you hit enter after every line

su
busybox ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is, make you have to put the MAC address you want there.

to confirm if it worked type:

busybox ip link show

it should show the new MAC address. Go connect to your network as normal.

NOTE:

If you go to the status option in the settings, you will see that the MAC Address DID NOT CHANGE. This is normal. It wont show the new MAC Address; at least it didnt for me.

One thing to keep in mind, sometimes you cant just put in an hexadecimal combination and expect it to work. It didnt work for me. So what I did is I connected to the school's network from my vibrant making sure I could surf the internet. then i disconnected and copied its MAC address to my tab. when i tried putting in my own custom MAC address, it didnt work. I could connect but packets wouldnt be sent.

Unfortunately when I reboot, my settings are not saved and I have to repeat the procedure. Simplest fix is to just download gscript lite from the market and put in the command I wrote above and whenever i restart my tab run the script quickly. If someone knows of a permanent fix, please let me know so I can update this.

feels good to finally be able to connect after 3 months.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
Ok here is the boot script loader.

I didn't spend any time on the interface or layout for you:

Obviously requires root to run

you don't need to start script with "su"-everything runs as su

enter the script in the edit box, click test to test it, click save to save it. It will run whatever has last been saved every boot.

Do NOT move to SD card or it will not pick up the BOOT_COMPLETED intent

i haven't tested if it runs before the SD card is fully mounted: so don't get carried away with your scripts. I suppose I could add options to run only after SD card is mounted but... i probably don't have time :P

Since this runs as root, do stupid things in your script things at your own risk. I'm not responsible in anyway.

the output from testing or from the boot log is:

stdOut

..some stdOut text

stdErr

..some stdErr text

where stdOut text is the results of your commands (you can see testing with a simple script containing just "ls" without the quotes)

and stdErr is any errors that occurred while running the script (you can see testing with a simple script containing "aasdf" without the quotes

click the "Thanks" button if you use this and it works :)

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayman07:
thanks a lot of the script loader. it seems to do its job. but it seems my situation is a bit more complex than i thought. see i can only change the MAC address if i delete all the previously connected SSID. if i remove the dchp.list will that remove/forget all the previous SSIDs? i would have to run a cmd to forget all the SSIDs prior to running the MAC address change cmd.

So I flashed RC4 this afternoon and there are a few things that immediately strike my fancy.

~When sliding to the bottom or top of a menu screen you have user adjustable reactions, such as a glow and bounce. You can also alter the intensity of these effects. It is subtle, but a really nice touch.

~Menu bar and notification slider have been reworked. Instead of a somewhat bubbly appearance, things are a nice matte black by default. I've uploaded some cm6.1.1 vs cm7rc4 screengrabs for comparison.

I also noticed that though I can't seem to get the rumble pack feedback on lockscreen, the DSPmanager has a few more options including a bass feedback adjuster. I also just found a groovy trick. Enabling lockscreen animation makes your phones screen appear to be a cathode ray tube monitor.

Mainly I am seeing a large amount of aesthetic improvements over Froyo. Though am sure on the code level there have been increases in the efficiency across the board, I am not seeing a marked increase in perceived 'snappiness' in my system
