what do you mean by,

"Root abuse was patched"

who was abusing rooting? lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It was an exploit in the kernel, it should be called Exynos abuse. It was a root exploit in the kernel that could be manipulated thru a simple command with no user knowledge or input, hence why it was patched. Rogue apps could surreptitiously gain root access without the users knowledge. It was also used for an app based root exploit on devices with the exynos 4 based SoC.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Exynos Abuse by Chainfire. The exploit was brought to Samsung's attention and it was patched. They released a 2nd maintenance release for ICS which patched the exploit in FL24. Our developers here on XDA also patched the kernels, it was actually before Samsung did. Now all current and future builds are patched against the exploit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Seriously I sleep like 4 or 5 hours a day and first thing I do I check xda while I'm doing my morning smoke 5 ciggs and take my constitutional, then I check every 5 to 15 minutes throughout the day sometimes I just keep hopping devices for a few hours straight. I'm like a junkie and xda is my heroin lmao. I wanna get some of those augmented reality glasses so I can practically mainline Tapatalk thru my eyeballs lol

Really I love reading stuff I'm interested in and im a research junkie so I'm constantly checked for new info to infuse into my brain. I'm always trying to learn more tricks to attempt things others tried but failed. I've got a new rom type I'm working on for twiz devices called AOSC which is android open source clone where im cloning twiz to look and function like aosp but retaining all stock twiz features. I've currently cloned vanilla rootbox 95%, I've got everything done but 4.2 noti toggles and hybrid UI/twiz launcher, 3rd party launchers I can force tablet mode, but im having issues with resizing on sysui and the twiz launcher. I'm gonna release a semi beta for the note 2 as soon as I update to the latest OTA. The features shouldn't be too hard to port to other twiz roms and my work will be open for anyone to port to their sammy device. I love aosp but I miss the functions and stability of stock firmware so I'm cloning aosp into twiz by making or cannibilizing the features to clone into twiz.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] primo523:
OK. Here's one few you guys. Last year I went to give me wife my phone and sprint tried to transfer my old evo 4g to her but said because I was rooted I could transfer my phone number. . This year my son gets my et and I will hit the s4. So do I just need to install a stock unrooted ROM. To get my phone number to transfer off the epic touch? If so, is there a one click recommendation ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
Full restore one-click and then one click unroot back to stock

The full restore gets you back to stock FI27 but you will be rooted so one click unroot for FI27

Then you can take the OTA update or manually update to FL24

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gamepro602:
If you have a custom Rom installed use the full restore or when you boot your phone it will just get stuck on the 4g screen (I learned that the hard way:() if you're stock rooted then the UN-root stock FI27 is fine unless you took the FL24 update:)

PRL freak out

This is my first post so don't kill me, I flashed my phone and currently running p.a.c-man rom. its feaking awesome. the only thing I am worried about is my PRL, under sprint updates it wants to update the PRL its a Boost phone. should i do this, I tried one time and it errors out and starts calling sprint or boost...(insert panic here) I aborted it because I am not sure if i should let it do it. but I am worried about if my PRL is messed up will i be charged roaming charges? the phone works fine, everything works, just not sure what to do about this PRL thing. :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Howdy and welcome. :beer::D

I'm not a boost user but from my understanding, boost doesn't roam natively. Forcing it to roam isn't something I found available. I did look.

Is your prl 61009? From what I gather that it's the latest and also, from what I can find, is that boost service is going to look for Sprint towers.

So what is your experience like? I doubt that you would but do you see a roaming indicator? It's your prl different?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
Don't panic. When you flash a new ROM, it doesn't touch your prl. If you need to update prl, you can always go back to stock, do the update, and then flash back to pacman.

BTW, those updates never work on aosp.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] johanwanderer:
Can we add a section for official support status of the various important efforts? For example, CyanogenMod (last official is CM7, Beta on CM9 and CM10, and under review for CM10.1) There are quite a few other ROMs as well (Kang, PACman, Slim, etc.) that are all unofficial. It would be nice to have a status of where they are (is there any progress toward an officially supported device, etc.)

Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Done. Let me know if something is wrong with the ones added. I have been lately staying with tw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
we are OFFICIAL for Evervolv as well (basically pure AOSP with frequent updates).

PAC-man, RootBox, AOKP, SlimBean, BAKED Black Bean are all unofficial but stable (standard CM10.1 bugs, all are more than good enough for a DD)

Hello guys it's been a while since last time I enter this forum I came back because I need help unlocking an Exhibit sgh-t759.

I choose the method where you copy the nv_data file in the computer and that is where I'm stuck now.I have the file but don't know exactly where and what to look for.I can even send the file to someone who knows how to decipher the unlock code.Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to sim unlock my exhibit sgh-t759to use on a prepaid carrier I already rooted the phone and have the nv_data.bin file on my pc . Im supposed to get the code out of that file by using a text editor or a hex editor but I tried both but don't know what or where exactly that number is.

I've included(I think) the bin file so maybe one of you guys can take a look and help me unlock the phone.Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
OK maybe try this http://easyunlockgalaxys2.blogspot.com i know it is for a different phone but maybe. Make sure to back up the bin file or you will ruin your phone.

Hey i don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, but this is a publicly accessible forum on the internet, and unlocking phones is illegal....

http://bit.ly/WVDBAt
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
I and I'm sure others are well aware of the law however the entire basis of the rule is under the pretence that you do not own the phone because it is under contract and each monthly installment will get you closer to actually owning the phone. I however bought this phone without a contract and android under the GPL licensing is open source therefore in my case I can unlock the phone (which tmobile all ready did for me). So on a superfluous layer I can see why you think it is illegal but it is not.

Just wondering what toolchain I should be using to compile the kernel for this phone.

I tried the arm-eabi-4.4.3 that comes built with the AOSP-SDK package however that does not seem to work correctly.

Right now I have both Arrrghhh's repo and the one Linus maintains on my machine. The only "internet" I have is from tethering my phone though so I am limited on what I can download and try.

BTW, I also have a few of the Android source repos "synced" already like CM, AOKP, & AOSP, I figured I would start with kernels though.

EDIT: Also I should mention that I have compiled kernels before, however only deb-pkg's for Ubuntu. Sooo just looking for a little cross-compiling help. :/
