Any way to bypass Exchange 2010 ActiveSync Security Policy on JRO03D?

I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117452

It successfully decompiled the email .odex files, patched them, recompiled them, but exchange is still forcing me to:

•	Erase all data via factory reset (remote wipe)

•	Set password rules for unlock screen

•	Monitor screen unlock attempts

•	Control the lockscreen policy

•	Set lock screen expiration

•	Force device encryption

•	Disable cameras

No way I'm agreeing to that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Seems a little strict (camera) but your company sets the policy. At ours, if you need email as a business requirement you accept the policy or don't get access..

Some are issued company phones and don't use there personal devices for that purpose.

If you attempt to circumvent security, you can be fired for breach of policy... most tend to want their jobs...

I have worked in offices where cameras were not allowed. (Motorola) If your phone had one you had to check it at the security gate.

Nevermind, this patch DOES work. You still get the message that you must accept the new security policy, but none of the restrictions are imposed.

Are you trying to do something illegal? If you are a employee then IT rules simply state that circumventing the security policies is illegal.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormwyrm:
Last I heard corporate IT departments don't get to create laws. Doing this is most assuredly NOT illegal, but it can get you fired or sued for a breach of your employment contract.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkguy2008:
Agreed. Also, it's my choice if I want to get fired or not. We're looking for a way to access our corporate email without fearing our devices being wiped thanks to a wrongly-placed finger.

Bumping because I want a solution or an alternative. I can't believe Android systems presume of their capabilities and such but aren't able to let the user configure a damn policy manually, like. Wtf.

Active-Sync is an enterprise solution, controlled by... you guessed it, your enterprise/company IT staff and for a reason, that is why it is not configurable. Is your N7 something given to you by your company? if not and you choose to use it to get email from your company Exchange environment then this is all on you. This is also something that Google licenses from MS to provide extended functionality to their users.

Maybe if you push this up your management ladder, you might get your admins to make an exception for you <sarcasm>

It would take a lot of effort for that wrongly placed finger to wipe your device, this is not an option that is on the surface of any admin utility. Again if it's a personal device you should assume the liability of using it for company use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkguy2008:
I appreciate your correct answers, however I thought the hacker community in general wasn't about doing things as-they-should-be but on the contrary, provide the knowledge/tools without being hold responsible of the given usage (good or bad) of such knowledge or tools?.

Also, not every country has the same culture and thus not the same rules apply for each company, also, not every company has well-prepared personnel in their place, especially when you're the one without a degree solving their stupid network/exchange problems instead of them, so my fear of them doing something stupid to my cellphone thanks to those incorrect permissions and policy enforcements is justified.

Anyways, for those interested, Maildroid (free) has done the job. The app is also good enough to provide a lock (password/pin) before opening itself instead of blocking the damn phone and exposing it to be wiped at any time by some retard, so it's a good choice and I recommend it :).

IT "Professionals"?

Our corporate IT (Giant multi-national corporation) is the same group of idiots that pushed a proxy server out to all of the computers including laptops.

I am in the field, onsite, for 5-6 days week and obviously this didn't work for me or my peers. We use our laptops to connect into PLCs and other devices. We had to hack our laptops to get them functional again, just to do our jobs.

I wouldn't trust those morons with a remote wipe for my phone, no matter how deeply it's buried.

If we could get past the 'whys' and the 'why nots' and get to a solution on this, maybe this thread would useful.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rept:
Any news about this. It's even worse. I contacted our system administrator and he also allows AllowNonProvisionalDevices. But the google app just tells exchange it's a provisional device and thus requires me to accept something I don't want to accept. It should make itself known as NONProvisionalDevice when you don't agree to the policy...

This. My company contracted with Total Computer Solutions and they managed to accidentally wipe my phone twice while moving us to a new email server. My company simply requires me to have a phone to that can access email and in exchange, I can expense my phone bill; they don't care about security compliance, TCS just used the default settings for the exchange server.

I hate when technical questions become moral judgment threads. If you don't know how to do this or wish to withhold the information on moral grounds, simply do not post.

From the EAC while viewing a user mailbox's settings, it takes 3 clicks.

View Details

Wipe Device (button appears next to each device in the list of all devices that have ever connected to this mailbox).

Save (both space bar and enter also register as an affirmative on this dialog)

My phone (which is in fact mine wholely and solely) has been wiped twice by accident. Once because a tech was just fooling around looking at what devices we were all using and managed while using keyboard shotcuts. Tabbed his way to the button and hit enter instead of going to the next user. The second time they intended to wipe the device of the person above me alphabetically because they were going to fire her that morning.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zPacKRat:
It would seem that you may have a competency issue with your IT staff, who are allowed access to wipe data in your company. And I stand by my statement that if your company allows BYOD that the end users should follow corporate policy, and if that is to allow the wiping of your phone in the case of a lost device or termination then that is what it is. However being victim twice over to stupidity has to suck.

Workaround

I use DavMail as a workaround. I set it up on a computer I have at home that is always up and running and then use a regular IMAP-client, CalDav etc and connect that way to my company's Exchange server. No more issues with policies and other annoying regulations.

Apparantly I was not allowed to post a link to DavMail but just google it. Or manually edit the following "link" http davmail sourceforge net

Overly restrictive IT policies are counterproductive.

Install "Wanam Xposed" from play store. Under "Security hacks", select "Bypass exchange securty". Probably need rooted device.

Mailwise is free and allows you to bypass security

I had mailwise installed but did not know that the security can be bypassed.

It is free on the play store.

Bypass

Exchange Security Bypass

Some IT administrators apply a security policy which requires locking the Android device screen with a PIN code, allowing them to wipe the device data and other such restrictions.

In MailWise, you can choose not to enforce this security policy (which means that you wont need to enter a PIN code etc.).

IMPORTANT terms for using the Exchange Security Bypass:Bypassing a security policy isnot recommended. MailWise provides this feature for the rare cases where this is a necessity originating from technical limitations. Normally, you should contact your IT administrator to resolve any such issues.

By entering the code you declare that you are doing so at your own discretion and that you have the authority to do so.

You assume full responsibility for bypassing the security. Please be aware that as MailWise develops, future versions are not guaranteed to allow the bypass in its current form.

In order to activate security bypass:

First, if you have exchange accounts already configured, please:

Go to device settings

Select “Security”

Select “Device administrators”

Revoke MailWise permissions by un-checking the check-box. This might remove your accounts, and you will need to configure them again.

Now you are ready to apply the security bypass:

Click settings->add account to go to the account type selection screen (if you don't have any accounts configured, MailWise will open in this screen by default).

Choose Exchange. This will take you to a screen with the title Add an Exchange account, where you will enter your user name and password.

Click menu->Exchange Security Bypass.

Enter the code 27182

You will now be able to configure exchange accounts, and will not need to grant unwanted permissions.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bacardiandwatermelon:
Looks like you have all the answers you need, but vmware have a product called airwatch which allows IT to wipe the corporate portion of your device i.e work emails and work apps but leaving the rest of your phone intact. If it was me, if I had a major issue with using my device, I would let them provide one instead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daringone:
I see this is a fairly old thread, but Nine (Free on the Play store as of this writing - EDIT: Actually, free two week trial, but it doesn't make this at all obvious. It's $9.99 right now, normally $19.99) gives the best of both worlds and is easily the best mail client I've used on Android. The security that is specified by the Exchange Administrator is applied to the APP rather than the whole phone. (You do have the option if you wish to apply to the whole phone as well though.) This allows you the ability to do everything you want with the phone without restriction, but IT still protects the data in the mail client in the way they see fit. I found this while trying to unravel why Smart Lock no longer worked. (I saw others complaining their fingerprint enabled phones would no longer unlock either.) It was a change in Android as far as I'm aware, as I'm the Exchange Admin and touched nothing.

Just open the zip file and locate the. App folder and then phonesky.apk,just copy it to system/app and then click the playstore icon in Ur app drawer,click it,if it says application not found,click it again,there may be a notification asking your permission to Google account.

If you want to make a backup of your original one then. Go to system->App and browse for phonesky.apk that's your orignal one.

And for the modded one,just download the zip file from orignal post,extract it,open the system folder(in the zip file),go to app and browse for phonesky.apk,this is the modded one.

If you want to change the current one to other,just copy your desired phonesky.apk to system/app and reboot!Its done!

Define 'reset'. If you mean you want to factory reset "android", you can go ahead and "Factory reset" it from Privacy (settings). Or alternatively, you can do so by accessing clockworkmod.

No, as long as he's using Magldr/clk, you can just resize the partitions and install any new rom (or even an upgrade to the same rom), you do not need to reinstall everything.
