nvram patch, GB flaw and a crazy conjecture

Okay, I have a wild conjecture which I partially verified.

So the nvram patch works because it modifies certain fields in the nvram that is used to build the MIP profile at boot. In particular, they figured out the locations in the nvram which are used to build the NAI string. In a regular data session (non -DUN) the string is yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com and during DUN it is yourphonenumber@dun.vzw3g.com. So they modified the location that contained these partial strings and took out "dun" from these locations. so if you used the 3g hotspot app, it would appear as if you were using an internal phone data session. This all worked fine in froyo.

Fast forward to GB leak The flaw, I think, is that once you establish a DUN session and even after you disconnect it, somehow the software continues to use the NAI string from the DUN session. So if you have an unpatched nvram, and tried to tether, you would be taken to vzw's mobile hotspot page. ok, now if you disconnect, your data doesn't work(if you are not mobile broadband paid user), because the sw still thinks you are in a DUN sesson. But if you have applied the patch, it doesn't matter, since the NAI string in both cases is yourphonenumber@vzw3g.com. I verified this. Another indicator is the color of the 3g text in the notification bar. In non DUN data session it is blue. When you try to use a DUN session, it turns black and it stays that way till you reboot the phone.

Finally, why I think P3 is pushing a new baseband module. Applying this will rewrite the NVRAM. I believe this NVRAM has switched the location of where the strings are stored and so the nvram patch will no longer work.... This could be proven if someone could extract the nvram file and look at it in a hex editor.

pretty wild, i know.....comments , disagreements very welcome
[Droid X General] dekend:
To be honest, I think your absolutely right. Especially since the auto forwarding takes you to a DUN vzw page.. my only question is where do I get my hands on this patch you spoke of.

[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
Hi guys,

I rooted my Optimus 2x, super user is installed and modaco's rom has been running for some time...

Unfortunately, i was doing some battery calibration and su stuff, and decided to take a photoshot of my screen with drocap.

The image failed to generate. All it resulted was an image with a LG logo...

Was drocap2 blocked???

I'm still getting "#" when i type su in terminal emulator...

Titanium backup seems to be doing normal...

I'm somewhat confused now, and don't know what to make of this...
[LG Optimus 2x] mikael120:
no drocap2 was not blocked this is a known bug with drocap2.

drocap2 is not compatible with tegra2 devices like the o2x.

the o2x actually has a built in screencap application that you can use by pressing home+the power button.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
If you look at the comments in the Market you'll see that I've actually mentioned that:

"Works great on my rooted Nexus One, doesn't work on my rooted LG Optimus 2X."
[LG Optimus 2x] randy_khoo:
I see... does the same problem exist in other screen capture apps like shootme?
[LG Optimus 2x] .:george:.:
Yes indeed

A screenshot app is already included by default.

I watched the original Series when i was a kid, and as much as i loved that, i found the remake to be unbelievably good. (Even with Starbuck being the wrong Gender!) I've watched the entire thing a few times now and it never gets boring. Don't forget to watch the movies and Caprica too. They're integral to the story.

[Off-topic] AnyMal:
POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Maybe he survived? Maybe Richard trailed him and got him to the hospital just in time? All we saw was Nucky shooting him the second time, but we never saw where Jimmy was shot, if at all. If you look at the scene again you'll see that Eli and Manny are quite the distance away. Maybe Nucky needs Jimmy to appear dead so he can do Nucky's bidding without being traced.

Then again, maybe it's just my wishful thinking :D
[Off-topic] TravisBean:
I can't believe Nucky actually shot him. He was like a son to him.
[Off-topic] AnyMal:
What didn't make sense to me was that Jimmy came to the meet unarmed. He always carried the gun and a knife, and the point of the meet was for him to kill Manny. Hence the reason I think that it was a setup by Nucky to make Jimmy disappear, for the time being.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
You make a good argument. I almost want to believe it myself, but sadly he's gone. Here's an interview with Terence Winter who sums it up:

"Viewers are so savvy now, and there's so much chat about everything on the internet. People talk about the plots and what happened, and they see your tricks a mile away. So the fact that we could shock people was very satisfying for me."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-dormady-eisenberg/terence-winter-boardwalk-empire_b_1254667.html

Manny was always going to be more important to Nucky than Jimmy was. Jimmy had his chance when Nucky was down but failed to capitalise on it. Getting back his crown, Nucky had to send a message that he was back in business, and there was no better way than to take Jimmy out. He had to do it, not only to show his resolve but to strengthen the links with Manny and all his other cohorts.

Can't wait to see what Season 3 brings!

[Off-topic] Dirk:
For anybody that didn't see season 1 of Boss, i'd heartily recommend that show. It's lead role is played by Kelsey Grammer but as as you've never seen him before. Not as the hapless-but-well-intentioned Frasier Crane, but as a character that is as Machiavellian as they come, playing a devious and morally ambiguous Mayor of Chicago.

Everything about the show is classy, including an ensemble cast, great writing, great filming, and did i mention Kelsey Grammer as Satan personified? A part that is hard to imagine him playing and yet one that now i couldn't imagine anyone being able to play better. Like one of the fine wines that Frasier Crane would have enjoyed, Kelsey Grammer has aged to the point that when the cork was finally let out of the bottle, we are finally seeing his true quality!

Season 2 has just begun and i for one am really glad to see this show continue.

I've been catching up with Hell On Wheels and The Newsroom over the weekend as i hadn't seen either previously. The former is pretty entertaining and has made my list of things to watch each week, but the latter is superb in a way that only an Aaron Sorkin written show can be. Although it's not as epic as The West Wing, it does compare favourably with Studio 60 and Sports Radio, both of which were outstanding shows in their own right.

I like clever plots, original characters, excellent dialogue and good acting, so most modern shows annoy me to no end... -.-

so, a rather short list:

- Sherlock, BBC. Ongoing, Jan 2014 S3.

This is, despite it being set in the 21st century, by far the closest they have ever gotten to the books and the original character. Excellent show, fantastic cast and a great director. (Moffat!) :)

- Doctor Who, BBC. Ongoing, S7 on air.

The old classic, renewed and continued.

- Castle, ABC. Ongoing, S5 on air.

Writer with writerblock follows NYPD detective. What I love most about this show, besides that it's Firefly in disguise, is that they hardly ever introduce the actual killer until the end. And they don't take themselves seriously, so they tend to make fun of cop shows covertly, a lot.

- Continuum. Ongoing 2013 S2.

Cop from the future gets dragged along into the past with a couple of condemned terrorists. Canadian show. The show does a decent job of respecting science for a change. Which is a real fresh breath from all the 'oh, gravity, we don't use that' rubbish the US releases on us.

- Firefly. Cancelled.

Come on. You've got to know this one.

Stargate SG1 & Stargate Atlantis. Ended.

Two of the last good Scifi shows before people forgot how to make them...

M*A*S*H. Ended.

Also watched the first 3 episodes of Continuum.
