[Galaxy S III General] KM7:
Thanks for the information
[Galaxy S III General] pandata000:
Another light app that can help you. Note that it's not just about the wipe. It's about blocking SIM card with MMI commands.

[Galaxy S III General] cmd512:
My S3 didn't have the vulnerability, but all the S2's in the household did. Bitdefender worked great though, successfully blocks the event 100% now.

Gotta say, this is why XDA freaking rocks, thanks for all the safe test links and solutions.
[Galaxy S III General] cvillalta:
I have an S3... It doesn't ask for confirmation.
[Galaxy S III General] MIKEMON:
application should be functional.

I wish I'd have read your post before testing the USSD code as it doesn't ask anything and I'm not able to restore the adb backup :(

It has now been reported on the BBC News website. They reported that this is a flaw for all Android devices and Google are apparently issuing a fix...

[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
well avast got update, and got this feature
[Galaxy S III General] bullyfrog:
Well, maybe the LIB release is fixed but the fix is in the stock dialer. If i select my thrird party dialer (ex dialer) , i see my imei number. These means folks using third party dialers are still vulnerable if they select it..
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Hassle the dev then, the underlying function is useful so won't be removed but insecure third party apps need dealing with.
[Galaxy S III General] Irrorate:
My S3 still hasn't received a patch for this on the stock rom.
[Galaxy S III General] Mullicious:
I know this is fixed, but I'm just shocked that this could even be a remote possibility! Seriously messed up. I assume running the latest build of JB should be safe, right?
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Haha, very funny! :lol:
[Galaxy S III General] Mullicious:
Lol! I just saw the irony there. You made me chuckle. Thanks. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] ultramag69:
Unfortunately if there's an exploit available then sooner or later some buggers gonna find it and use it.... Be proud, this usually only happens on the most popular platforms as the more people affected the better the thrill for the hacker... Probably why Apple was proud of the fact there were no viruses on the apple computers, now they've become more popular, ironically because there were no viruses, viruses are popping up on their system... :p:laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] nickill:
sheckws discourse,

thanks you !
[Galaxy S III General] pepemosca:
ESET has posted an app as solution: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eset.securedialer

Works very good and doesn't add an icon in the drawer.
[Galaxy S III General] MotasemBT:
????

so how i can test it and make a valu cade ?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
The vulnerability has been fixed by Samsung months ago, if you are up to date there will be no issues, or if you are running custom (AOSP based roms don't use USSD codes.)
[Galaxy S III General] MotasemBT:
thanks for replay but i mean i want to make one a link i mean and test it how to make it ?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I have no idea how to make it but to test you need an old stock firmware and never update because this is a security issue it has been fixed and will never be unfixed.

If you want it as a fast factory reset it will not work on the latest firmware, the only other need it for is to attack people so even if anyone here knows how to make the link they probably wouldn't tell anyone.
[Galaxy S III General] yuukimoonstar:
hi!

i would like to replicate this attack can someone point me in the direction of an already made link? or how can i make one?

It seems that I've been getting this alot. Whenever I plug in my phone to charge via a wall socket, it says "Charging (USB)" in system settings>about phone>status. Now from what I know, its supposed to say "Charging (AC). Any ways to quick fix this besides charging the phone in off mode?

You can run the test from the "hide menu" to check if the result is the same, or measure the charger output to check if doesn't have any malfunction.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Xenogenics:
I think I realised what was wrong. I was charging my phone through an extension cord. I tried connecting the charger to a mains and it said AC this time. Perhaps my extension cord prevented enough current from passing through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justin94:
Ok. So I keep getting this error message when I try to download apps. It doesn't happen to all of them. Weird thing is I can download this app to my transformer with no problems and once it's downloaded to that I can download it on my phone using the my apps section. I'm stock rooted cwm touch recovery. I've cleared market data and wiped cache several times. Any help would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
Just clear the data for Google Services Framework.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justin94:
Seems to work since I've done that and wipe Google play data again and rebooted. Thank you so much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwhoeler:
I used to get a similar error back in the android market days. Some gentle google searches led me to believe it has to do with downloading too many apps in a short time period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
Np, had the same problem but it would happen with every download.

Interesting pwhoeler, I wonder if its too many in a short period of time, or too many at the same time (Or both) - may have to play with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bfs673:
+1

Had this same issue.

For folks new to this Google Services Framework can be found: Settings>Application Manager>"ALL" Tab">Google Services Framework>Clear Data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justin94:
Yea. It had nothing to do with downloading to many apps. Once I cleared the Google services data and market data again it was fine after aafter a reboot

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BetaLyte:
Hey all,

I'm wondering how to read / extract a filename.ext4.win file?

Using Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, i recently flashed AOKP's JB build 2 to my Gnex, and wiped my phone in the process (intentionally).

The phone works great with the new ROM and all. but I forgot that my data folder also got wiped, and with it all my savegames for various apps.

Before flashing I used the tool to make a nandroid ("Nandroid backup /w Custom Recovery"), and I'm guessing I can find the files I need in that backup. The tool saved the backup as [data/cache/system/recovery].ext4.win files.

I have tried using ext2explore to read the data file, but it doesn't show anything.

TL;DR

How can I read a ext4.win file in Windows?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i thought backups were saved in *.tar.

sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BetaLyte:
I don't know how it's usually done, but this tool saves it in 4 "ext4.win" files and a "recovery.emmc.win" file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
oh you using a toolkit? to do a backup?

nice.

ask the question in the toolkit's thread, thank you.

NEXT!

google search http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BetaLyte:
As it says in OP: yes I used the toolkit (Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit) to make a nandroid, because it makes it easier (for me) to backup, wipe and flash with a single click.

The toolkit's thread is in a dev section, which I'm not allowed to post in due my "noob" status on these forums.

So that was very helpful, thanks.

I tried Linux Reader you linked to, but still no luck.

I says that the filesystem is not supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Twrp also saves nandroids in this extension.

Op: use titanium backup to load up the nandroid (menu -> extract from nandroid backup).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BetaLyte:
Ah Team Win - that's right, it's what the toolkit uses for backups. Thanks.

I had to get the paid version of TB to use the extraction, extracted only data and it worked to some extend. Some of my games got their savegames restored, but e.g. TinyStation did not - Which is the game I'm most eager to restore the savegames to. I also tried to extract app+data for this one, but it didn't work.

But thanks a lot geoff! =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Not all games work with backup programs. Which really sucks. But tb is a GREAT app to have, especially the purchased version.

BTW, was it a different ROM you flashed or was it an updated ROM you flashed? If it WS an update, you might be able to restore your nandroid and then flash the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BetaLyte:
Sucky. I emailed the developer asking where the savegames are stored, so let's see if they'll be able to help.

Yea, TB is great - definitely my backup app from now on.

It was an updated ROM. I flashed from Kang's JB build 1 to build 2.

But yea, restoring the nandroid and flashing without wiping is the next step, but it ****ed my phone last time, so I was hoping to avoid messing around with it again.

Actually I might just have realized why it didn't work the first time. =)

I'll give then app dev 'till tomorrow, and then I'll restore and reflash.

Thanks again, geoff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Could you restore the nandroid? :confused: I made a backup using Wugfresh tool and now I can't restore the files. The files are like yours, not disc image. I hope you can help me restore the backup. Thanks.

Asus Sweden just announced that Jelly Bean is out for TF201, what about TF700? anyone heard anything?

Google translate

"ASUS Sweden

Finally it's time for all Transformer Prime TF201 users to get their beloved flat upgraded to the latest version of Android, namely Version 4.1 aka Jellybean.

To think about the upgrade: Adobe Flash removed and this is Google's decision. You will not be able to find Adobe Flash in Google Play market.

However, it is still possible to download flash from elsewhere: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

If you had flash intallerat before firmware update will support flash remain.

WiFi Direct is also removed.

No TF201 users will be forced to update to Jellybean."

"ASUS Sverige

Äntligen är det dags för alla Transformer Prime TF201 användare att få sin älskade platta uppgraderad till senaste versionen av Android, nämligen Version 4.1 aka Jelly Bean.

Att tänka på med uppgraderingen: Adobe Flash tas bort och detta är Googles beslut. Ni kommer inte att kunna hitta Adobe Flash i Google Play market.

Det är dock fortfarande möjligt att ladda ner flash från annat håll: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Om man hade flash intallerat innan firmwareuppdateringen så kommer flashstödet att kvarstå.

WiFi-direkt tas också bort.

Ingen TF201 användare kommer att tvingas uppdatera till Jelly Bean."

Be first but its more probable to be buggy and a subpar build

Or be last and let the others be the testers and hope to get a higher quality build from what they learned

I don't believe the TF201 was clocked at 1.6Ghz to begin with. That said, this is the TF700 forum, so you may find more specific answers on your devices forum. In the Index, its just referred to as the prime.

[Asus Transformer TF700] SteveG12543:
The Prime was clocked at 1.4GHz stock, but with the release of EZOverclock it could be boosted up to 1.6GHz, as it was in the kernel code but was disabled by Asus. The kernel was updated in JB and they likely removed the 1.5GHz and 1.6GHz modes which is why you can't use those speeds anymore.

I know some other people already answered this but I just wanted to give a bit more background info on it.

Hi all,

I just unlocked my nexus 7 using the N7 toolkit on XDA. I've noticed a few things:

-I cant boot into stock recovery unless the device is plugged into the computer or hit the "START" option in the fastboot menu.

Is this normal?

Can someone tell me how to use the stock recovery, i remember on my Galaxy nexus pressing volume down and power would bring up a menu. This doesn't seem to work on my N7?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic_:
AFAIK that's normal for the N7. You can't boot into stock recovery without being plugged in. Haven't tried with any of the rom toolboxes out there tho.

[Android Software Development] ItzCrooK2UxD:
I can add in a virtual machine guide too. You're using Virtual Box, and not VMWare Player? If you are getting kernel failures I would try redownloading Ubuntu.

Also which settings are you using for your virtual machine?
[Android Software Development] orbital_71:
i am using virtualbox V4.2, i am able to dual boot but when i try to install inside virtualbox no success. I had try i386 and amd64 uninstall ubuntu and try install inside ubuntu but still fail. Using the storage setting to mount the disc. Tks

Also a few things I forgot to ask...What kind of computer are you using, please be detailed and include things like Processor speed (chip number if you know it), RAM, and which OS you are using, and which version of Ubuntu (or other Linux distro) you are attempting to run in VM. I am going to try to replicate your error, so I can walk you through it.

Also you state that you had no success, please elaborate. Did the virtual machine not boot? Did it boot, but you could not get logged in? The more details the better...Thanks
