[Security Discussion] shirishtulsian:
Hi all,

I am developing an app for Windows Phone 8 and am currently in the process of testing for which i need details about reverse engineering.

After searching on the net for a few days i have gained a bit of knowledge about the process but not full understanding.

From what i have read, I first installed an app called Windows Phone App analyser which unzips xap files and decompiles dll. Now this works for xaps packaged by me or home brewn xaps. But if I try it on xaps after downloading it from Windows Marketplace, then it does not work.

After spending time on this, I realised that once developers submit their apps in the Store, the store encrypts it, thus the xap directly downloaded from marketplace cant be reverse engineered which is fair enough. So the other workaround I understood was to first install the app in the device(Windows 8 phone) itself and then somehow convert it to Xap, transfer xap to my testing device or pc and try on it.

Now here first I would like to hear from you all that is my understanding till this moment right or flawed. And the following questions.

1) There is a tools or app I should say I found to repackage apps installed in windows Phone 8 into xaps. It is Product Manager. But from where I found it I got the xap file for it. Now how do I install the xap into the phone. I tried using the Windows Phone Application Deployment Tool but was not able to do it. So how exactly do I install it on the phone and also how to use it??

2) Now when I get it up and running and also get an app packaged to a xap using the tool, then how do I transfer the xap to my pc??

3) After I transfer the xap to my pc, is it a actually possible to reverse engineer it( I ASK THIS AS I AM ASSUMING THAT THE DEVICE ON INSTALLING THE APP DECRYPTS THE ENCRYPTED XAP (WHICH COULD NOT BE REVERSE ENGINEERED) AND SO WHEN WE REPACKAGE THE XAP IT IS IN DECRYPTED FORM ONLY. SO IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO REVERSE ENGINEER IT USING THE PHONE APP ANALYSER I MENTIONED ABOVE), or is it not possible to reverse engineer the repackaged xap??

4) If its not possible, then is there any other way to reverse engineer Windows Phone 8 apps(If yes, please explain the whole procedure in detail).

Thanks in advance.

Bumb.

I'm also interested when it comes to the aspect of reverse engineering a XAP/APPX from the store, especially as a dev.
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Hi guys, I'm very sorry if this has been solved already but I've been searching a lot now and none of the methods seemed to help me. I'm running a One X International. Until yesterday, I was running one of the older Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly builds but due to some performance issues and whatnot (nothing major), I decided to finally put in some work to update my phone to 10.1. My HBOOT was still on one of the older versions so after searching around, it seemed reinstalling the stock ICS and then doing some OTA updates would be the easiest way (for a n00b like me).

After doing so, I unlocked my bootloader again, re-rooted my phone, installed a newer version of CWM Recovery and finally flashed the latest stable build of CM 10.1. My first problem came after rebooting, where it would just hang at the Cyanogenmod ring loop and nothing else. I booted back to recovery and wiped everything (cache, data, dalvik etc.) and did a factory reset then reflashed the rom. This time it booted up but then, the "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." kept popping up. I literally can't do anything (there's a microsecond of space after I click OK before it would pop up again). I have read some people suggesting to others that they need to do a factory reset but I've tried doing that and it still didn't work. I've even tried installing the latest Nightly build of CM10.1 but it still didn't seem to make any difference.

Could someone please offer some advice? Thanks a lot in advance.
[HTC One X] matt95:
I had this problem and it was an hardware fault, so the only thing i could to was to send back the phone to HTC and get a new one...
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
Did you flash the boot image?, and if so, did you fastboot erase cache after flashing the boot image?
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
I'm hoping that it's not and somehow I doubt it since I didn't have any problems like this until what I described earlier.

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean Boot image as in the bootloader? I didn't touch the bootloader except that it got upgraded whilst I updated the official HTC rom and also when I unlocked it. But I did erase everything before flashing.
[HTC One X] matt95:
he means

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
I don't think I did this. What is it for? I don't remember reading it in any guides although I read so many that I might've have forgotten.
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
you have to flash the boot.img everytime u flash different rom

it is inside the zip file of the rom just extract it from there and take your phone to the bootloader and flash the boot.img...thn it will work perfectly
[HTC One X] matt95:
have a good read on how to flash a rom

[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Thanks a lot! I can't right now because like an idiot, I was in a rush before coz I had to leave for a few hours and really needed my phone so I thought maybe I'd try redoing the process. I got to the stage where I relocked the bootloader, factory reset, erased the rom, cache and pretty much everything but then I had to leave. Now that I'm back, the phone is out of battery coz I had it plugged in but it just wouldn't shut down for some reason so the screen remained on the bootloader wasting a ton of battery. This had happened yesterday when I was doing this and the battery would charge really slowly since the screen was constantly on. Do you know why this is? I don't think it's a hardware issue since after installing the stock rom yesterday, it could turn the phone off through the bootloader, recovery or just in the actual OS.
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
the phone never charges in the bootloader ....as ur phone is off right now just plug it to a wall charger and leave it for around 2-3 hours and check if the Red LED turns on which will show that your phone is charging
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Aha didn't know that! :o Well I did leave it on the charger before i left although it was on the bootloader so like you said, it didn't charge. But when i came back (several hours later), the screen was black and the red LED was not on. Again like an idiot, I tried to turn it on and it went into the bootloader although it said that the battery is critically low. I then tried restarting it and now it's staying on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Does it charge here? The red LED is on. If i press power+vol down then it would go into the bootloader so i guess it's not bricked right?
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
nop its not bricked and if your phone is now on just press the power button for few seconds until the 3 buttons flash and it wll turn off and when your phone will have enough battery charged it will automatically turn on (my htc one x do this) and dn you continue the steps dat i told you
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Hmm i still can't turn it off. After holding the power button and waiting for the 3 buttons to flash, it would just reboot into the HTC screen. But it seems to be charging because when I booted into the bootloader just then, it doesn't say "power critically low" anymore.

By the way, whilst we're on the subject, do you know if it's possible to disable the ability to restart the phone by holding down the power button even when the phone is locked? I have quite a bulky case (from Ballistic) which makes the power button stick out a bit and sometimes when it's in my jeans and I kneel down to tie my shoelace, my leg would press into the button making the phone restart. This doesn't happen with the iPhone for example. on the iPhone, when the screen is locked, the power button doesn't give any response and even when the screen is unlocked, holding down the power button will only display the option to shut it off. This has always annoyed me on the One X (don't know if this is the case for other Android phones).
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
very good now ur phone is charging and i hope u have flashed the boot.img too :) well i also have that issue with that button :/ but i keep the phone in the opposite direction like the headphone jack side goes inside pocket and the mic side is on the outside whn inside the pocket ....thats the only idea i use :/ :p
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Yeah I guess that's the only solution then. Glad I'm not the only one!

I just got home and it looks like I was wrong. The phone's screen was off and no red LED lights were showing even though it's plugged into the wall. I disconnected it and waited a few seconds and then reconnected it and after a couple of minutes, the red LED came back but it also started up into the bootloader automatically...this thing just won't stay off!! I will see what happens after an hour or so but at the moment, I can't think of what else I can do to shut it off to charge it.

By the way, as I said earlier, I have now resetted everything, cleared everything and relocked my bootloader. Can I flash the unlock_code.bin I got previously from HTC or has my Token ID changed now and I need to obtain a new one? I did a Google search and it sounds like it will have now changed but I just wanna make sure.

EDIT: ok I need to go to bed now but I just realised that the reason why it won't switch off is BECAUSE it is plugged in. After unplugging it and selecting Power Down from the bootloader menu, it's now switched off. But as soon as i plug it in again, the screen lights up again. I guess i have to leave it like this and hope that it charges overnight but I'm a bit worried that it's not so good for the screen not to mention it seems to get a little warm after awhile. We'll see...
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
no u just have to use the old unlock unlock_code.bin ....just charge it for 1-2 hours only and flash the boot.img in the bootloader and your go to go :)
[HTC One X] marcolorenzo:
Thanks a lot man. So turns out that once again, it wasn't actually charging and the phone was dead when I woke up. So then I found another thread where someone had a similar issue and this was suggested:

I did that and left it for a couple of hours and then the battery was at a high enough level for me to get to work again. I went through everything again remembering to flash the boot.img before flashing my new ROM and now everything is working perfectly! By the way, that guide written by hasoon2000 made a mistake I think. He said to flash the boot.img AFTER flashing the new rom which I did but then still got that com.android.phone problem. But then I flashed it again BEFORE flashing CM10.1 and now everything is smooth as butter.

Anyways, thanks all for your help. I really appreciate it!
[HTC One X] ll_r1d0_ll:
glad to know that your htc one x is running like a fire :P well that method is just to show the current battery level nothing else ...and i had flashed the boot.img after the room but it worked for me cux i did fix permission wipe davlik cache and partition cache too...on some roms it works for me and on some roms it doesnt..well its better if you flash the boot.img before installing the room :) well um glad to help you and sort out your problem :)

[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
If your tablet is first gen Tablet S, API 16 and 17 (Jelly Bean) apps won't work on tablet. You must find a API 15 (ICS) version of app.
[Sony Tablet S] aBowlaPuddin:
It's a xperia tab s. Running JB. Would it still be api 15?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
If your Xperia Tablet S is running Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean), then the API Level is 16.

If it is running any release of Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), then the API Level is 15.

The Xperia Tablet Z is currently running Android 4.1.2, which is also API Level 16.
[Sony Tablet S] aBowlaPuddin:
That's what I thought. I just can't figure out why the apps won't install when pushed to system/apps
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Are you attempting to push directly to /system or to a temporary directory first?

Are you temporarily setting /system to R/W?

How are setting /system to R/W?

Are you remembering to set the app's permissions?

Are you setting /system back to R/O?
[Sony Tablet S] aBowlaPuddin:
Yeah, pushing them directly to system / apps. It's R/W. The permissions are set properly also. Using es file explorer

Anyone else notice that this game runs slower than it probably should given the specs of this phone? Also, doesn't seem to be rendering in 1080p either.

bro thanx for replyin so fast...

wat should i do now for jelly bean in my ace 2
[Galaxy Ace II General] zahirovic.safet:
You should download firmware for your device from the link, and download Odin. If you have Kies installed then you have drivers on your PC.

If zip has just one file (one file + .dll file) then:

1. Open Odin as administrator

2. Click PDA and click on the extracted file ( I suggest to put extracted file in the same folder as Odin)

3. Turn off the phone, and go into Download mode by pressing menu + volume down + power key.

4. When in download mode connect phone with the PC and you should se COM:3 (or any number besides COM:) in the upper left corner where it says ID:COM.

5. Don't tick Repartition and don't tick or untick anything else.

6. Now press start and leave phone in PC until Odin says "PASS".

And now you have JB.

BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, BACKUP EVERYTHING!!!!

And it should work, but remember, YOU'RE FLASHING ON YOUR RESPONSABILITY. With that being said, good luck with everything.

L version JB finally

The long wait is over.

I too just flashed from JB, like we had a different option, without repartition or anything lease changed.

After the flash it took a long time "optimizing" all the 100+ apps.

I like it the performance, but at sometimes it is a little bit more laggy then I was use to with GB,

including some lag in temple run 2 which was totally smooth on GB.

So i rooted back up'ed and did a factory reset.

It feels smoother now but I haven't restored any of my apps yet.

Im gonna check how to switch internal with external sd and then ill restore.

i read around the forums and i came across the poll asking what is your favourite firmware and the highest picked was the MG2, is it still true or is there a better one ATM? honestly id love an optimized OS with barely any bloats, could someone recommend me one?

i know it seems very noobish to ask these things, but i have no experience whatsoever when it comes to modifying any phone
