Does HTC have such a reset code? I've seen various posts say that HTC does have a reset code.

I was able to get to the HTC Function Test with this method (3424) on stock browser, FF and Chrome. If there is a similar hard reset I think this would work for that too.
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
Any souls out there braver (or perhaps in a better position) than I to try these out?
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
That is good news, but this is still too early to call this one I think. This vector is open (at least on my phone) as demonstrated by the code:

<frameset>
<frame src="tel:*%23*%233424%23*%23*">
</frameset>

(Place in an HTML file, host it somewhere. I wouldn't trust ANYONE's links unless you are prepared for the worst.)

This uses 3424 which opens up the HTC Function Test.

Just because those codes don't work doesn't mean there isn't one available if the vector is open.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
ran this in chrome and still no go.
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
Very interesting... what are your specs? Can you try with stock browser?

mine:

[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i deleted the stock browser. chrome is better for me with sign in ability and unlimited tabs. i can load up a stock browser after lunch and see if i can get it to trip.

but im running:

Ah, I believe you're in a similar category as CM users then, these USSD's have likely been removed from your rom.

Anyone else on stock (or willing to go to stock) who would be able to test the wipe codes?
[HTC Rezound] killsforpie:
FWIW I installed DialerOne and set it as my default dialer. This no longer executes the USSD automatically for the Function Test, so I hope if there is a valid USSD Reset code it would stop that as well.

That is not a problem. I have installed bash and it is using colored output, so you have to either use Ubuntu or install Ansicon (if running adb from Windows command prompt).

Have a read here.
[ZTE Grand X V970] whogiawho:
sound great to use Ansicon to make full use of bash color feature.

After some investigation, there is also a workaround to turn of color feature.

1. make below change for /data/local/.bashrc

# Command prompt

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}"'

# Red prompt when in a root shell

#if [ ${EUID} -eq 0 ]; then

# PS1="\[$txtred\][\h\[\e[m\] \[$txtblu\]\w\[\e[m\]\[$txtred\]]# \[\e[m\]"

#else

# PS1="\[$txtgrn\][\h\[\e[m\] \[$txtblu\]\w\[\e[m\]\[$txtgrn\]]$ \[\e[m\]"

#fi

2. make below changes for /data/local/.bash_aliases

alias ls='busybox ls --color=none'

alias l='busybox ls -CF --color=none'

alias la='busybox ls -A --color=none'

Same here, had no battery performance issues till after i rooted. I have been through a few roms and I am back to just stock rooted and am having a little drop in battery life. I personally have attributed it to me putting google now onto the tablet since ics isn't really built with google now. It may or may not be the issue.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tek_curious_1:
I just read this on appy geek. I thought everyone should know about this.

The link that will reset some Samsung Galaxy phones without warning originally appeared on http://www.pocket-lint.com on Tue, 25 Sep

Frightening

A security hole has been discovered that allows some Samsung Galaxy phones running TouchWiz to be automatically factory reset without warning. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Found by ex-Gadget Geeks presenter Tom Scott, among others, all unsuspecting users have to do is go to a webpage via a specific link and their phone will be wiped back to how it came in the box.

"The USSD code to factory data reset a Galaxy S3 is *2767*3855# can be triggered from browser like this: " wrote Scott.

Developer Tom Hutchinson, who has helped Pocket-lint work out the incredibly damaging bug, says that the security blunder affects not just the SGS3 but the Ace, the GS2, and S Advance so far. "Most if not all Gingerbread phones or newer running TouchWiz will be vulnerable," claims the developer.?

The fear is that those looking to wipe out Samsung phones would be able to easily embed the code on a website without Galaxy owners even realising what is about to happen. The code could easily be used in a QR code too.?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zer0trip:
I'm just glad these news sources are making sure everyone knows exactly how to accomplish it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
If you read my thread on the secret Android Codes, you will understand what is happening:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1894102

The stock Samsung dialer will execute secret android codes when you enter them without hitting send.

Like *#350# will reboot the phone. (That would be a better exploit example than the factory reset one)

The problem is that NFC or the stock browser will load a tel: into the dialer for you.

Well using the stock dialer that will execute any of those secret android codes.

Most of those secret android codes will not work on CM10/AOSP dialers obviously.

So the fix is to install any other dialer app like exDialer and use it as default app for dialing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Philosuffer:
I'm probably missing something easy, but how do I get exDialer to be the default? I installed it, went to Application manager and to the default Phone app, but the "Clear Defaults" button was greyed out.

When I dial from either app, it just dials, doesn't ask me which app to use. I tried doing a voice action "Dial xxx xxx xxxx" from Google Now and it automatically went through the stock dialer without prompting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Engadget says it only affects the stock browser but not chrome. Who is using the stock browser anyways, it's garbage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
I thought it stays. If you type a message in Handcent or messaging like (800)555-1212 then you can click on it and it will prompt which dialer to open as default. exDialer has option for auto run USSD code.. Wonder if samsung will add that to dialer (even though these are not USSD codes)

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Who cares what engadget says, you can try it yourself, it will happen ANY time a number link is loaded into the stock dialer. That can be from SMS, maybe even fake caller ID spoofing. Maybe other apps can launch a number for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Has anyone tried the dialer code to factory reset?

Chances are Samsung already disabled it, probably for this reason. They've disabled quite a few of them actually so we probably dont have to worry about it. (I haven't tested it to be sure but it would surprise me if they left that one enabled)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jaxidian:
I've been testing this and you can follow my results over here at Rootz.

Preview: I've yet to actually get it to auto-execute (i.e. click send) the code and have tried modern CM10/AOKP, the JB TW leaks, and have gone back to T999UVALG1. Still going to be doing more testing but may not be for a while - maybe somebody can pick up from here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
Did you read any of my post or thread. The Samsung dialer instantly executes the code when you type last #. This isn't a USSD. They are android secret codes.

If you have stock dialer and it loads in the code it will execute it. tel:*#06# clicking that will bring up IMEI

(That should also work in aosp or cm10, but that is the only code they have in dialer)

You don't need to test, it is any app that launches dialer and adds digits
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Clicking on that just opens dialer with *. Just fyi, but it is pretty simple. Later tonight I'll test the factory reset code to see if sammy disabled it like most of the others. If it is as I suspect they will have done so, probably meaning they already knew about the problem.

Most security vulnerabilities are not released publicly until a fix has been implemented. (The NFC hack is a perfect example). For us that fix was most likely the update to UVALH2...assuming my assumptions are correct of course!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alias503:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know Samsung did patch this in UVALH2 like I thought.

In case you didnt see the other thread, someone posted it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1906473

I did test it and I might be mistaken about the dialer code being disabled. It did initiate the reset when I manually entered the code. But it may be due to me running a combo/hybrid version of ics. Ill be flashing back later today and will retest to let you know for sure.

I just wanted to throw this out in case anyone was thinking of testing it thinking it wont work...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
This has already been patched.
