Hi everybody, I would like to ask developers if firmwares can be combined. I explain myself...

I would like to introduce 36 Baseband into GB .042 firmware. Can I open both ftf files with 7zip, and move files (except loader.sin) from baseband to the firmware replacing original ones?

Thank youuu

This is what I want to do...

http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-remote-data-wipe-hack-discovered-25249061/

Little scary; of course if you only use reputable apps you probably have no concerns.

EDIT: yeah its a browser exploit; I hadn't had enough coffee this morning apparently.

Mr. QBKing77 has a video concerning this very thing ....

check it out here

Looks like they've put out an update anyway:

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...galaxy-s3-and-co-to-block-killer-code-1099859
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
Thanks for the heads up! :highfive:

I for one do not use NFC and rarely scan QR... But hopefully Samsung will take action on this security hole and patch it up ASAP, probably forcing them to send out JB sooner to the US variants together with the patch :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
This can apparently be triggered by clicking a link on a malicious page too, not just NFC or QR codes. Not good.

However, from what I can see reading about this in a number of places, you're only susceptible if you're running TouchWiz... someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is a TouchWiz vulnerability really.

The thing I'm NOT 100% sure about is if you have to be RUNNING TouchWiz or if it can still be exploited if you're using a different launcher but still have TouchWiz installed.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

Hmm, reading further, I guess I'm not sure what they mean when they say "TouchWiz"... do they mean just the launcher or are the changes Samsung made to Android, aside from the launcher, considered TouchWiz too? In which case what launcher you're using may not matter, you are at risk of this exploit either way. Not sure, although now I'm thinking launcher DOESN'T matter. Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
I believe they are referring in some point to the TW dialer, since they mention a dial code that is present in AOSP dialer and the user can simply cancel before it goes out, in the case of TW dialer it automatically goes through without the ability to cancel at all. Scary stuff!

"Only Samsung devices running TouchWiz appear to be affected, with basic Android only showing the code in the dialer screen but not running it automatically, Pau Oliva reports. Samsung’s default, though, is to dial the code automatically."

I think the article needs a bit more detail...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Not launcher. TW rom. As long as you are on a TW rom your susceptible. Aokp, aosp, etc won't work. You pretty much have to be able to use dialer codes because that's how it wipes your data, it automatically puts in the wipe data code
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
Yeah, I thought it might have just been TW launcher at first but after reading things a bit more I got what you said too... that's not cool :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Problem was reported by a dev on Twitter to SamsungCarla and she escalated it to security unit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
So, according to AndroidPolice:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...eset-on-many-samsung-phones-running-touchwiz/

Guess it will take a while to get the true story.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
That's interesting because it says to me that just disabling the default browser, as I've done since I use others, should avoid the issue... that'd be my conjecture anyway... but I'm NOT willing to test :)

Plus, that link also has an update saying the latest OTA for the GSIII don't suffer this problem... but that's a pretty nebulous statement, vis a vis, does it mean the latest Sprint OTA for example, or does it mean the GB for international models that started rolling out in Poland?

You're definitely right, the true story seems to be something we're still waiting on :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
On android police they also say that the AT&T doesn't have it, it got patched last week. Maybe LI3 fixed this.

Will be looking into Verizon if Sprint will continue to lack with data services around Florida.

Was wondering what Smart Phone will do justice to what I have now (HTC Evo 4G LTE)

I don't want the Galaxy S3, nor the iPhone.

Thinking of Galaxy Nexus, or Droid Incredible?

What I'm looking for in a phone for main feature is GREAT CAMERA.

JellyBean would be nice!

What ya think?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
My thought is you should head over to those forums to get some insight. Maybe go to a Verizon store and play around with them. There are new nexus devices coming in a few months, you might want to hold off until then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Galaxy Nexus is the first phone with Android 4.1, Jelly Bean. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Idk what's worse. Having super fast data speeds yet u have to constantly check to make sure you didn't go over 2gb or having slow data, but no need to worry.

I'll take the worry-free route, plus it's cheaper. Both sprint and Verizon pretty much force u to use WiFi for data anyways. What's the point?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
Thanks for the info.. but if I hold off I won't be able to cancel my contract with Sprint without a FEE charge and I won't be able to Upgrade for 2 years.

And yea I'm digging that Nexus but I don't know if it's SUPERIOR like this phone?

Fast, no lags, and great camera!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
For my area, Verizon gives me better coverage. Plus I will be able to use 4G LTE.

I know you said you don't want the gs3, but that's the phone that's equal with our evo. Spec-wise anyway. I'm not a fan of Samsung, even though I've thought about switching. The nexus is a little old but will continue to receive updates for awhile. I was going to suggest Motorola, but they are more locked down than anything else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
You are right but Im not really digging the style of the Galaxy S3. What you guys think of the DROID RAZR or the DROID INCREDIBLE?

Specs on the Nexus is not that bad..Just the camera specs is a outdated with a 5MB.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
The razr seems like a good phone, I think it's bootloader is more locked down than ours though. If you're into rooting, which I'm sure you are, then you might want to avoid Motorola.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
Good to know...I guess I'm up with the Galaxy Nexus & Droid Incredible. Time to review these two phones.

But hope I won't have to. Leaving this EVO would hurt my feelings. And pocket!

Rumors are floating around of a possible htc nexus phone coming in a few months. I swear by htc and would jump all over it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drob311:
Bad news... with the exception of the galaxy nexus, vzw requires all manufacturers to "lock down" the bootloaders...

Also, the galaxy nexus is a nice device, but is nowhere near superior to the evo lte. I personally wouldn't switch to big red, but if you are, I would hold of until November as that is usually when "the next big thing" is announced. I feel your pain, my 3g data is horribly slow and lte in my area is vzw only. I thought (not for long) about switching too, but the data cap vzw has is a definite deal breaker for me. Good luck in your adventure! :) :beer:

I guess its a sign my peoples! My data has been working with a better connection...usable to the extent! But I have just decided that I will miss this Superb phone so much that no other company will fit the need. I'm going to stay with the Evo family for months and months to come. I figured that when times are rough, I can always use WiFi. Which in fact is what I will always use once I get my internet provider on board at my new place. Even if 4G LTE is right around the corner. I have hopes for Sprint...Thanks everybody!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Hi, i would greatly appreciate some help.

I wiped my data/cache/dalvik cache/system before attempting to restore a backup made with TWRP v2.2.2.0.

When i hit restore, it reads: "restore completed in 1 second", "Restore Complete. Successful"

However, nothing has been restored, any suggestions please?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Should i try flashing a different recovery? Or can i flash the nandroid backup through fastboot?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Update: Was able to restore /data using titanium backup to extract from the twrp recovery file. Any ideas why twrp isn't working? Should i just get CWM?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Twrp works fine for me. I prefer it to CWM.

Not sure what your problem was, though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travisdroidx2:
Working fine for me I have restored my back ups with no problem. Same twrp 2.2.2.0 not sure what your issue was.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Thanks for the replies.

Just remembered, I renamed the folder name after creating the backup, would that have any effect on restoring?

Also the backup file was about 1.24gb, could it be the size was too large? Though it didn't even restore components individually...

I don't feel I can wipe confidently anymore without knowing the problem exactly, any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janedoesmith:
I just tried it. Renaming the folder DOES have an effect on restoring.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travisdroidx2:
My back up is also 1.2 GB.

I always name mine before I back up. It should work fine. Unless it was from when you renamed it somehow?

I name all my back ups but I do it before I actually back up the rom. Maybe that is the issue. Name it before the back up even starts and then you should be fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Thanks for confirming! I really didn't want to get rid of twrp, much appreciated! I've learnt my lesson :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethead72:
I did this. Can I rename the folders back to thier originals, or do I need to use some other recovery to reflash my backups? I would need to know if there was way to determine the origial file names, of course. I have a data only backup renamed BEFORE savig, it works fine. Only the ones I renamed using my PC dont work. I did not make the connection till reading this post. Team Win may need to investigate this issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janedoesmith:
You can rename it and it works. The folder names are as follows:

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/"your device serial number"/"date and time"/

For instance:

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/036f586ce7bee89/2012--09-14--17-45-24/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nbsss:
Try what janedoesmith suggested, alternatively if u simply want to restore the data, this can be done through titanium backup.

You can confirm the "date and time" by checking the properties of the backup folder eg through root explorer
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethead72:
Used this format (confirmed through TWRP) but I believe this may be the ticket. Wont try it till this evening though. Time for work.

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/036f586ce7bee89/2012-09-14--17-45-24/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janedoesmith:
FYI: I just made up the serial number as an example. You have to name that folder with your real device serial number. Also, you can name the date and time folder with anything you want.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethead72:
I know, I made sure my folders were named correctly. Fyi, any date/time will work, just need the right format. Procedure worked wonderfully, and to avoid this issue in the future, rename the file BEFORE you backup using twrp interface. I have not tested using twrp to rename AFTER backup, doesn't seem to be a need.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimzonEyed:
Hello.

So I just ordered a GSIII and it will probably arrive in a day or two.

Until then I decided to try learn everything about this phone (or at least as much as possible)

Here some simple(maybe) questions I have.

How far are they with the custom ROMs? I saw there are quite a lot of them so far but the once I looked on (based on jellybeans) where still having camera problems and a few other minor issues. Are there any stable custom roms where almost everything works?

Another question is. I saw there is a normal android dev sub forum and a new one called "original android dev"

I guess the first one is dev projects based on samsungs official ROM while the other one is for dev project based on AOSP?

What's the pros/cons for each? I guess the AOSP roms don't have the video window playing while doing other stuff and maybe not the galaxy beam thingy?

Also I have been pretty much dead on this forum for half a year.

Tried to do a comback two months ago but my Desire got bricked I think since it completely died during change of hboot.

Anything groundbreaking I have missed in the world of android the past half year (I already know about the most common things like the major things JellyBean brings but not all of the details)

Just tested this on a Galaxy Ace running CM7, the dialer was launched but the code did not work, bad news indeed for most (every?) samsung phone it seems

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The AC article is saying it depends on the dialer. Seriously, how could you allow a factory reset via dialer and then allow it to be triggered via browser? That's a major bug and it needs to be squashed.

AC updated their article and is now hearing that JB builds for S3 may have this patched already. Also got a confirmation via Twitter from @SamsungSupport that this has been sent to the devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
Well even the iPhone is mildly vulnerable as loading the proof page triggers a popup to call the number (pressing call does nothing though), and from the original thread having a different dialer still triggers the code (someone tried with GO Dialer iirc)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
the feature in the browser is due to being able to tap a phone number and call someone. having dialer code to factory reset is stupid since its in the settings and recovery.

in other news you can find out more info at www.shabbypenguin.com/wont/wipe/your/phone.html

its safe, i promise ;)

I just installed a second dialer, with none of them set as default so now i am prompted if a website puts that code into the frame. If you get prompted to launch dialer while visiting any site, of course you would just hit the back button. Temporary fix.

One can visit this site to test if their phone's dialer is vulnerable, I am running FI03 stock and surely enough it shows my IMEI code.

One could always target our device by using the same code that opens the dialer for the other devices but with our dialer code instead.
