More testing

This morning I decided to see what it takes to completely remove the FLASHED version of Theftspy as well as UNROOT my Samsung Exhibit II 4G back to stock.

1. Tried uninstalling from the backend (website) knowing that since I flashed it, it probably won't uninstall but for testing had to do it. And sure enough, it won't uninstall. It should be noted that when you do this a prompt appears on the device asking to confirm uninstallation, but the coder makes you aware of that on the site too.

2. Booted into CWM and wiped data/Dalvik/cache.

3. Reflashed (unrooted) with the uvlg3.flash2stock.zip <---- clickable download link in case anyone else needs it. The link is also found in the original post by jocala HERE. thanks jocala!

4. Rebooted the device and found that the "Android Framework" icon no longer appears! su is gone and its no longer rooted!

5. Browsed around using the stock "Files" app to see what was left on the device. Did some maintenance by clearing out some cache's of other various apps while in there but no trace of Theftspy found other than the zip file, which I deleted.

6. Rebooted device. Confirmed it was back to stock after reboot.

7. Rebooted and went into recovery to see if CWM would boot or the stock recovery. Stock recovery loaded and I did a wipe again just for good measure.

8. Phone is completely back to stock now with no su root access and no Theftspy (flashed version) installed.

9. Logged into the website to confirm I had no connection to the device by rechoosing the device, performing a camshot, refreshed a bunch of times over a 1 minute span and found no picture which confirms no connection exists any longer.

I would like to test the non-flash, no google account needed version if it is up to date with the latest public release with all the bug fixes and such. If it is truly just a copy of the current release but without the GCM service needed please PM me a download link so I can test that version out.

Oh and THANKS to Theftspy, I now have a LIFETIME license!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Step one: Flash stock ROM.

Step two: Profit?

If /system is formatted, Theftspy is gone.
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
Yes but I wanted to test the whole process and document it for others since most request step by step tuts on even the simplest of tasks.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Please do not forget to write those small "Experiences" or Tutorials on the Theftspy Wiki www.TheftSpy.com/wiki

[Android Apps and Games] Spark1223:
Yo! This isn't working on the S2, like I said before, it says I have no google account on the site, but I do (and its on the device; after all I downloaded it from the Play Store)
[Android Apps and Games] acex008:
I could write something up for the wiki. In fact, I could write up a full tutorial on the installation and use of the app in it's entirety but this phone isn't mine and will be given back to the owner tomorrow... My coworker (I'm an architect; the building type, not the IT type) wanted a rooted phone with theft recovery software installed. And no, I will NOT be spying on him! With that said, if someone wants to buy me a used, nonrooted Android phone to test with, I'd be more than happy to put it to major testing. :D

Theftspy: I know I've bothered you in a PM, through email and even on Facebook about getting the version that doesn't require a google account with no response but I'm running out of testing time with this phone! Is it because you would have to do some level of work to get it ready for use? If so, just mention it.
[Android Apps and Games] Spark1223:
I've tried PMing him as well about the issue I'm having as well. He's hasn't answered it. I assume he's busy with something.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Sorry that i didnt answer on my PMs yet. I still have about 600 messages to answer :S

Well, i'll try to answer to all messages until tomorrow evening. Im currently doing some security stuff on TheftSpy.

This includes Pin before Login/Register, new SplashScreen to check if internet connection exist, fixes on settings-sync, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmg2:
location Wakelock?

I've been having a Wakelock that was driving me crazy as I didn't find the app that was causing the "LocationManagerService" or "NetworkLocationLocator" until I killed Android Framework (aka TheftSpy), that solved it.

Can you have a look at this? Am I the only one? Is it normal?
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
its annoying. The only Wakelock is the GCMIntentService used wakelock (by google).

Ill look over. Have you maybe let the TheftSpy GPS Window open on the website? This will call GPS every 60 seconds if the tab is open
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmg2:
Nope, I used the web las time, 2 weeks ago. And I've rebooted pc and mobile many times. If something has gotten stuck on the server I don't know :S .

When I reboot mobile the process "LocationManagerService" starts, I've disabled many apps, checked and disabled all location options... and that service is still running. And now I've killed TheftSpy that service closes itself, so I think it's the culprit.

But I can't be sure 100% of course. I like your app a lot and wish it's not your fault.

Installed... Whatsapp works now perfectly, all active conversation are displayed. Camera shot works fine as before.

Issue: cannot hide icon anymore. The application stays visible.

What is the purpose of the additional Interface Pin?

Probably by design, but if I turn off GPS it will remain off after sending the tracker command.

[Android Apps and Games] wlmoate:
Hi,

I have a few suggestions:

1. If the phone app cannot detect Root access then can't the website be designed not to show features that require root? If it can detect root then show those features.This would make the use of the website clearer.

2. If a user already has premium access, then when logging into the app on the device, would it not be better to tell them when it expires. At present it just ask me to buy another premium license.

I also have a quick question, why is the take picture on unlock greyed out?

Wayne.

AW: [Codeversion 43 - Update 31.03.2013] TheftSpy - Your Remote Control and AntiTheft

New version 8 (43) and the old cam problem is back at my Razr i. After I take a cam shot, the phone display will never switch off or the phone will not goto standby.

I test also the old phone of my wife (xperia x10 mini pro with CM7), the cam do nothing at this phone (can not open cam).

gesendet von meinem Atomdroiden

Edit:

Now I go back to version 42 and the cam works fine, today evening i check it at the xperia

An other thing, if I install it at a new device and log in the first time, why it ask me to buy a licence if I have a licence.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
trying to figure out the problem. Dont worry. Its just a ONETIME Message. Ignore it, it's gone after the first start
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
just updated the app.

I hope some stuff got fixed by this version.

By the Way: SMS Will not work if a custom SMS App is installed (for example GoSMS Pro Ex or similar).

Offtopic:

Would you guys like to have an app like Platinum Backup but in a easier way to move updates between different devices via network?

Means: Start Update -> Send Settings and Data encrypted to Website -> You can decide what you want, protect it with a password -> put it into another device back.

You can decide what you want to backup, which files you want to backup, which accounts you want to backup, etc.

Would you guys like to have such an app?

recover your phone after a factory reset

Regarding the tests after UNROOT and complete wipe - what I'd like to do is to have a clean (almost stock) ROM on my son's Xperia so when he's got robbed AGAIN I can track the bastards :cowboy:

What will happen in real life:

1) they will remove the SIM card right away (they actually asked him to remove it from his phone last time)

2) the phone then will be passed on to a "phone shop" or "retailer" who will check out the phone and either

a) if it runs a custom ROM it will be reflashed to stock (WE HAVE LOST - PHONE GONE FOREVER)

b) if it runs stock it will be wiped/factory reset

3) will be sold to a new owner (this will be the first time when it is possible to connect to the internet)

So what we need in case of 2b) is that TS included in the stock ROM before flashing as a system app PREFERABLY preconfigured with all the settings needed to reconnect to the server after a complete wipe.

In the next 10 days I am able to test this on the following devices:

- Galaxy Ace 2 (running 4.1.2)

- Xperia J (running 4.1.2)

- Orange San Francisco (running CM9)

- Galaxy S3 (running CM10.1)

Is there a version with a preconfigurable option?

ps. Also started with a translation - will PM about the details.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thank you. I ll contact you later these day via pm.

No need for a preconfigured version. As soon as it have installed once on the device the devices settings itself is stored crypted on the server. As soon as you install the app again on the device (doesnt matter if you full wiped it) it will restore everything without login.

There's a flashing version available which will have a Configuration to preinsert all values in a few days.

Having this issue where the theftspy setting pops up and the camera doesn't work if a unlock isn't successful. Here's what I did:

1)Go to website>powercontrol>lock phone

2)Enter wrong pin

3)Check website>camera for picture. Picture is captured.

4)Enter wrong pin again

5)Check website>camera for picture. No second picture

6)Repeating 4-5, same result no picture taken.

7)Enter correct pin, theftspy setting shows up, it is lock and no setting can be changed. Just hit home button to get out.

Note, the menu setting also shows up when issuing other functions. Any thoughts?

Phone is AT&T HTC One X running ViperXL 3.2.6, ElementalX 6.4 Kernel, Rooted, S-Off

There's still a Camera Bug (that the camera will not run as Service as it should on some devices).

I've installed this and had a play with it, seems very good.

It looks like the website needs some minor work, and a few things I tried didn't work. For example the Lockdown command didn't do anything. Taking pics, SMS, call log etc etc all work perfect.

I'm concerned with the security side of things though, hopefully this will change in time.
[Android Apps and Games] TheftSpy:
Thanks. The Website needs some HUGE updates :) Well, i take all my time in the App and less time in the backend until now. In my experience as coder its very important that the app runs stable, fast and take less performance. After this is done i'll create some bigger updates for the website. There will be a wiki, some profilestuff, perforamnce fixes, functions AND more languages. :)

Im still looking for some videomakers for the app. I pay some money for a Video which is well made

Lockdown requires DeviceAdmin for now. Im working on a way to do it without. Same with Screenshot. It wont work without root. Im currently working on a very fast method to do it without root :)
[Android Apps and Games] mushtafa:

Emergency Number is the (Send a SMS Number in emergency Case) like.. Simcard has been changed or .. device is out of range (in future versions).

DeviceAdmin enables some additional features like Wiping data, lockdown, unlock, take camshot on wrong keyguard attempt, and so on.. :)

The Emergency number will be used in CV 25 which will be released on wednesday. Until this date all Files on the Website will be heavy encrypted. Same as Wiping which requires confirmation per Token (get Token per registered email)

The reboot and power commands work, lockdown doesn't. Can anyone else confirm? Perhaps it's a fault my end somewhere?
