[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
While nothing like this has been implemented on the Galaxy Nexus yet, Blackrose exists for the Nexus One. It is a modified bootloader that, once flashed, can lock out fastboot flash/boot commands. This, coupled with a password on recovery could essentially lock out the GN (assuming no root of course).

EDIT: Hmmm. Not sure if you would be able to by-pass something like that with ODIN, given that it is a Samsung device. Probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pileot:
not to be rude but when i worked selling cell phones you can buy a $30 phone with a sim card on damn near any plan, take that sim card out, put it in your phone and it will work. Carrier doesnt even need to know. If i lose my phone sure i can call my phone company but chances are unless the guy with my phone brings it in to a cell phone place and they physically scan it to check, the company wont know the difference. And then theres the problem of will the guy who scans it care enough to do anything. Sorry mate but if THIS is your security it is very improperly placed.

My sister had her car broken in to, her phone was stolen. Locked car, in our driveway, she was just in the house for a moment had the phone plugged in for music. **** happens, its not that she was careless with her stuff or not paying attention, life just happened. I have had friends who had their phone on a table, turned for a second talking with someone, pickpocket walks by and snags it. Again, not being careless, it only takes a second.

I would definately go for a PW protected bootloader, or even PW protected CWM. i dont care if they turn my phone on, i can get GPS from that. I cant get GPS if they wipe my phone. Thats what i want to prevent.

If YOU didnt know, and I didnt know, chances are whoever finds your phone doesnt know either. I personally think you guys are overestimating the average guy who finds your phone. I think most would do a factory reset and figure that about covers it. Ask 10 of your friends how they would reset a phone if they found one, im going to guess not many knew of THIS meathod :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
You call those instances of not being careless? Really?

Leaving your phone in an unmanned vehicle is not careless? Not having your phone in your sights or on your self at all time is not being careless?

I think you need to re-read the definition of careless, because those instances you mentioned, are textbook carelessness. That's not life happening; that's lack of common sense happening.

Now I can't even tell if you're trolling...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
So if the car was locked and someone stole the head unit that would have been careless?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wow. I can't tell if you're anal retentive or lack of thinking for a second caused this careless post.

teach a man to fish, you feed him for life. teach a man to fastboot, and you create competency. and less threads on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pileot:
Ya, had my head unit stolen from my locked car... Whatchya gonna do.

Also, i know this is the nexus forum but i don't know if my SGS2 had fastboot... Even if passworded CWM might not be important on your device it may be good for another device. The same way a passwords bios can be gotten around with relitive ease it all factors in to what the person knows about the phones and what levels they are willing to go to
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rodimus80:
Please allow me to give my 2 cents. I would say making sure that your passwords cannot be retrieved is the most important thing to do. Everything else you can have in the cloud. I keep all my passwords on Lastpass. A physical backup is updated once a month and stored in a secure location. My only real question is can a thief, and a well learned one at that, can they steal a phone and find out what your Lastpass Password is? I have it setup to require a password for every time I logon. I welcome anyone else's thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tramane:
Soooo

I came looking for a way to lock recovery becuase my 3 yr old keeps booting into it and wiping the rom rendering the tablet useless

IN THIS CASE

A password for it would be marvelous 3 attempts and three it just reboots back into the rom.

Now i dare someone to give me a reason why this doesnt work.

My 3yr old isnt flashing the bootloader or doing anythin else.

Just booting into touchscreen recovery and touch touch touch touch until something happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s0p14n4hm4d:
no matter CWM locked by password or not, if somebody reflashing your recovery using fastboot with new CWM, your recovery system will overwrite except if password method prevent overwrite recovery via fastboot. and if you have security off on your device this will unlock all flashing ability, this means password will have no function. If your device on s-on mode, and your device get support by revolutionary or unrevoked, your device will simply get s-off. CMIIW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sordna:
whadayaknow, Trickster MOD has this feature as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowcore:
I must say, yet another useless thread in XDA. If people are going to ***** about the idea of CWM having a password, I would at least expect better arguments.

Really, the average THIEF does not have the knowledge how to operate flashing tools,, speak and read properly english or even operate a smartphone. If someone was to get unluck and the phone getting stolen from a hacker or a poweruser, then it would make sense that they would overcome a password in CWM.

But a password in CWM would help against kids, teens, average thiefs and so on. Its completely preposterous to just press 2 buttons and Voila! , new PHONE!

And another thing Americans, Brits and co, not everybody lives in places where there is such a think as IMEI monotoring.

God, nerds are obnoxious...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sordna:
Password protected recovery, along with a locked bootloader (which you can unlock in times you need without data loss with the BootUnlocker app), is a reasonable security improvement (in combination with pin/pattern lockscreen, and pin protected SuperSU access).

Sure a good hacker with odin and other specialized tools will beat it, but your teenager in the house won't be able to, even if they know how to use fastboot. So I think it would be a welcome improvement, and a teenager in the house is much more frequently encountered than a sophisticated hacker :)

Hi there

I was wondering if market enabler works on a rooted wifi only Sony S?

does it work directly or there are some work-around? :rolleyes:

BUT ...

That doesn't say if the tab is 3G or wifi, as in 3G phone (obviously) there is a SIM card and there is a carrier, Market Enablers just changes the carrier, in wifi version, there is no SIM and there is not carrier!

does it work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cezell09:
So where is my external SD card in root explorer? I did some searching on the forums but I couldn't find anything that helped.

Thanks. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TPizzle:
Go to /sdcard and inside you should find a folder called external_sd which should take you to it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cezell09:
Wow! I swear I've gone to that before and it was empty! haha. This time it shows up. Well thank you for the help. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kingston1:
/sdcard

or /mnt/sdcard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TPizzle:
That used to happen to me on the Galaxy S (Captivate). Basically the media scanner didn't pick up the external sd for whatever reason. If you do find that folder empty, just run media scanner again (There are apps in market that do this but I believe you must have root).

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] PearlKami:
one of the best rom for longest battery life, i think :p

i've used myth ICS beta 2 (previous version of themyth rom) for more than 2 days if turned off auto sync, gps, background data, used 2g instead of 3g, minimize brightness

no need, flash it via CWM if you're using gingerbread 2.3.* after wipe data/factory reset ;)

but recommend you go back to clean stock for stability and avoiding unexpected errors

in my opinion, i think battery life of myth rom absolutely better than cm7 roms :D

of course using 3g can make battery drains quickly :-s

You know what, you are the exact type of person that completely disgusts me.

You take advantage of companies that are doing the right thing and are giving us the benefit of the doubt that we can be intelligent, responsible adults and have self control.

Sprint doesn't give us unlimited data so some jerk can compensate for his manhood issues by getting that usage number as high as possible and then boast about the abuse on the internet.

They do it so we can use our phones as intended without the need to second guess our usage.

You are quite literally ruining it for everyone.

As far as I'm concerned the carriers should create lists for people like you and ban you from ANY service with ANY of them.

I sincerely hope that you ARE downloading pirated files and you are taken to court over the matter.

Grow up.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I like how people blame this one dude for their slow internet speeds or possibly the disappearance of unlimited data. How many people do you really think use this much data? Not enough to force Sprint to change their data plans.

Sprint will change their data plans because they need the money, not because 5 people are using 100gigs a month. Call Sprint and talk to a rep about all their changes, the answer I always get is their aligning themselves with the other carriers so the only think they have left is tiered data.

Sprint loses money every qtr so they figure Verizon and AT&T must be doing something right. So let's raise our ETF fee to $350, get rid of the the premier program, raise the admin fee, remove discounts from any lines over 2nd, then remove discounts from the 2nd line as well. Do you really think Sprint will keep unlimited data for long? Do you think when they change it it will be because a few people use an obsessive amount of data?

Seriously, if you want to blame anyone, blame the idiots who made the iPhone what it is today. All these changes started to come when everyone knew the iPhone was coming to Sprint.

Sure the OP is a jerk and just posts these things to get a rise out of everyone, but I don't know why people let it get to them. You guys should really go to the iPhone section and yell at those dudes for all your wonderful changes.
