Please elaborate

Not sure where your info is coming from.

As of Android 2.3.4 device encryption has been available. Granted most manufactures didn't implement the ability very quickly. I have two GB devices niether give me an option to encrypt my device on the stock ROMs, but some did. I am running 4.1.2, and encryption is as full as it gets. If I boot into CWM recovery I can adb into a minimal root shell, but the revocery partition doesn't "see" any of the actual data. I think this suffices. As far as circumventing this encryption, I don't think a JTAG or cellebrite will help you with this. As of Android 3.0 (tablet only I know...) the encryption standard is 128 bit AES, I wish they would have used 256 bit...but whatever. No doubt Android is late in the game, I just don't think they thought it necissary until the smartphone evolved to something more powerful.

Android Encryption: http://source.android.com/tech/encryption/android_crypto_implementation.html

Cellebrite: Their schtick, as far as Android and BB devices are concerned, is recovering data from a locked device, ie you forgot the password and the backup etc etc. They go out of their way to not mention the word DECRYPTION when talking about Android or BB. I say this because in thier iOS section, they repeatedly mention their ability to DECRYPT the device data on the fly. So again it would appear to me that, for Android, they use some custom revocery ROMs and adb to revocer UNENCRYPTED data (with their special hardware).

in fact this is from Cellebrite themselves:

Cellebrite on Android: http://www.cellebrite.com/forensic-solutions/android-forensics.html

Encryption is encryption, if it uses AES, as far as I know you have to be able to crack AES to get at the data once it's encrypted.

You need the password, or brute force, OR find a weakness in the algorithm.

If you're that worried, find another way to transport/store your private data. Companies with this much at stake are stupid to entrust sensitive data to any of these devices in any of their current states. For you and me, I don't think yo uneed to worry about your stuff that much. This is like the old adage that locks keep honest people honest. Most people find a phone, maybe try a few cheap easy tricks and wipe if they fail. Although AES is considered safe against brute force, if you need more, use truecrypt with hidden partitions or something like this and a real computer. Even then....

So I had my phone in my pocket and it shifted sideways and as soon as I went to step up off the ground I heard a crack and the screen must have flexed and broke :(

My question is:

All of my pictures seemed to have saved internally on my phone...would someone mind posting the steps in Calks recovery to enter USB mode...I think this is the only option I have.

Really bummed I loved this phone...:( thanks tho guys!

Use Myphoneexplorer from the market. It works like a charm. Install it from the web and install it on your computer. I'm actually in the same boat.

For the phone:

I already bought a new phone but how much?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chudddddd:
Offer me a price. I have one complete housing thas white. Screen battery door. And the side housing is silver.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cvinton07:
I think the most I'd want to spend is 150. The reason I just got a new phone was because much more than that I just didn't see the point in fixing it right now...let me know what you think of that

Hi folks

Anyone know of a custom ROM (ICS) that will run on a Cyclone Astro+ ?

Processor = ARM Cortex A8 1.2GHz

GFX = Dual Mali-400 2D/3D graphics, res 800x400

Peace
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I've just been given one of these and the stock ROM is dire :(

Is there anything I can do for this device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Search xda for Sumvision Astro!

Otherwise try here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Cheers Chris, thanks for the pointers.... I think I've balls'd it up :(

I mistook the standard Android recovery for CWM after running sausagemod... the ROM flashed but the compatibility file wont... so I'm left with a device with no working touchscreen and trying to install CWM from terminal also fails.. It says ... no /sdcard/recovery.img.

I also can seem to get the device in flash mode so I cant revert to the stock rom ether.

If you have any ideas it would be appreciated... one post in that thread reads very similar to my issue, they edited the 'sh install-recovery.sh' apparently and got the device back... but they haven't been here in years so I don't think will reply...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Well, the good thing is, its pretty hard to balls these devices up. As crappy as they are, its usually always possible to get back to stock, or at least get in functioning again...

That said...when you try to install a new recovery from terminal, are you sure you have unzipped the recovery.zip file into a location on your sdcard that is accessible, and have cd'ed into that directory?

Are you using livesuite to try and flash a new stock rom? I don't have my Astro any more, moved on to HP Touchpads (awesome tablets btw), but I seem to remember it could be a bit finicky to get it into flashing mode, what with button pressing etc...

Have you been to slatedroid.com? There is a section for these tablets there too, under Cortex A8 tablets, might be worth a gander on that site.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know...

Cheers

Edit: if the touchscreen isn't working, you can always connect a usb mouse. I did that with mine once when I had flashed the wrong compatibility zip. Think it came with a mini->standard usb adaptor....

Edit2: if you can link the post that was similar to your problem I will look and see what its about, might help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Hi Chris! really appreciate your help and getting back to me.... sorry for the delay getting back to you... I was sent away from home for work.

What happened was... I got the drivers installed and working correctly, so I ran sausagemod option 5 and I then mistook the standard Andriod recovery for an early release of CWM... so proceeded to flash the Cyanogenmod 9 ROM, I thought 'Happy days!' its worked... then the MOMO9 file wouldn't flash and I realized that I was indeed in the stock recovery... so subsequently have no touchscreen working.... similar to post 46 in the original thread...

I've connected a keyboard and thought... ahhh this will be easy as I'll run recovery from terminal.... but I thought that had worked but it boots again to the standard android recovery... like in post 28 of the original thread... so again MOMO9 wont flash.

Looking again at the terminal out put it says...'no /sdcard/recovery.img' - I think this is because my 'recovery.img' is on my SD card located at /sdext instead... I guess I would have to edit the CWM file but I'm not really that sure on that... or if it would work...

With no touchscreen I cant click on 'USB storage mode' when I connect it to a PC as I have to use the connection to hook it up to a PC, so I cant use the keyboard... so I cant copy the recovery onto the internal storage and try from there....

And I'm dammed if I can get the bugger to go into 'flash mode' ether :( so I can return it to stock..... it ether boots or does nothing but blank screen...

I'd be ok if it was mine... but I'm flashing it for my brother which is a blow!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Hi is it possible for you to connect a usb mouse to the tablet, that way you might be able to move the cwm recovery img to the right place? Or use the terminal to move it...when you use the command line to install recovery, are you using the location of the img in your commands? Just type in your location, you won't have to mess with the image itself.

Otherwise livesuite and perseverance should be your route to flashing back to stock and starting again!

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Or you could open up install-recovery.sh in a text editor and look for the location of the recovery image in that file and change it to suit your setup?

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Cheers Chris I'll try that.... I've been trying to install a file manager via terminal.... the odd thing is .APK's dont show up when I go to the root of the SD card and type 'ls' - only .ZIP and .IMG

I'm using the terminal app thats built into the cyanogenmod 9 ROM....

Been hacking Phones and tablets for years... but ever way I turn on this turd with a screen is a dead end.... :(

Edit: I turned on install from unknown sources and theyre now there... but I just get a list of errors go off the screen to fast for me to read... about location etc....

I have no idea what I'm doing in terminal... I left command line with DOS!

I tried this 'pm install astro file manager.apk' I thought that would do it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
oh well.... killed it

Just a blank screen... wont turn on.... but I guess its still functioning somewhere as it detects in windows as an unrecognized device...

Livesuite starts but wont flash it..

I built a new PC with 32bit win 7 to flash it... looked to be going ok. it went to 3%, then stoooopid windows tried reinstalling some drivers for it and its been a brick since.

Guess thats game over?

EDIT: Holy cr@p! it came back! LMAO! its now back to stock!

You were right! I tried my hardest to kill it! dam thing wont die!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Chris, sorry to trouble you again...

I'm back up and running stock... looks like 500m partition size...

I guess to run a custom ROM I need to flash an older stock ROM.... am I really going to gain much with a custom ROM? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Ha ha, good stuff mate, very similar to my experience with the bloody thing….

If you read thru the other thread linked in my first post I'm pretty sure there's a discussion there about flashing custom rom onto a slightly older stock rom as they increased the system partition sizes.

Its worth going for a custom rom. Runs smoother, faster, you just gotta get the damn thing on it in the first place. But worth it when you do!

Cheers

Edit: you may need to flash an older rom… .see this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
LOL! DONE IT! :D

Flashed Cyanogenmod 9 from the original post and MOMO9 compatibility... works great! only problem I have is the resolution appears to be slightly out as icons can go off the screen...

Hmmm wondering about Cyanogenmod 10 now! Hmmmmm what did you end up installing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
Nice, well done mate :good:

Its a while ago, but I think I ended up putting cm10 on it eventually.

The thing with the icons going off the screen can be rectified by using a different launcher, if I remember correctly - try ADW launcher, my personal fave.

Cheers
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Geeba:
Thanks for all your help Chris, really do appreciate it.

I've had a good play with the tablet over the weekend, I can get CM9 installed and working fine... I then flashed a later stock ROM to give me the 500mb /system partition... but the CM10 .zip just wont work... it flashed ok... but it wont go past the rotating boot screen.... am I missing anything?

EDIT:

Hmmmm I've just downloaded the official 4.2 from sumvision... I guess thats the best it will ever get... bit clunky but usable... I wonder if there is a kernel I can flash...?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] chris5s:
I had a problem flashing CM10 over the newer stock rom with 500mb system. The only way I managed it was to go back to the earlier stock rom and remove stuff from the CM10 rom to get it to fit on the smaller system partition. It was a while ago, sorry if that's not much help...

Good luck!

Cheers

First off, thanks for taking the time and effort to help us all.

I downloaded your package, but I've got a couple of questions regarding the process.

The .bat file deletes the recovery image on the phone, and replaces it with the image in your package.

Can we archive the image by renaming it so that if things don't work out we can "uninstall" the new image?

Where did you source the image in the package from?
