Have you tried to flash stock firmware again with re partition ticked and the pit file? Using the pit file make sense only if you flash the whole firmware with it

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byteater:
To be honest, I've never seen a problem like that. In Odin there's an option to erase all nand. I don't know if this would help you, since you should have an efs backup and I don't know if it will bring consequences.

I have "some" goldenxx.pit file already. And I took original firmware from some semi-official sources. Though I didn't have this CSC file. Also In original article (on 4pda.ru) they say NOT TO use this firmware with I8190N (which I have) ...

I found it!

The answer was in PIT file, because as it says here:

So, I tried that GT-I8190N and GT-I8190 should be used with different PIT files (I tried to use for GT-I8190 one). So I found long list of PIT files here

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgerbasio:
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction after spending a day reading about mobile phone security. I'm still confused as to what an app can do and how I can limit access. Some answers or a point in the right direction for more information would be helpful.

Apps that are granted permission "Modify/Delete SD Card" can pretty much read/write anything on my device? Could an app go through my sd card and see files, for example, music, movies, other data from different apps; file names/content? I have about 35 apps running on my phone with this access. I'd rather not leave it to "how much I trust the developer" and have some means to limit access to data.

I don't keep national security secrets on my nexus but there is work and personal information that is sensitive and I wouldn't want shared. It looks like if I use android to encrypt my data it only encrypts the /data folder and there doesn't seem to be much in there.

What about securing contact and calendar data? Is this possible? Not as critical as guarding my file data, but still important to me. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Yes, files on the external sdcard are not protected, I.e. all apps which have the right to read/write sdcard can read/write everything there. One reason is just the filesystem type: on FAT you don't have access rights. On internal /sdcard it's a bit different, because it's using ext4 as a filesystem, so principally not all apps can read everything, but also here you have the problem that for example the camera, the gallery app, ... need access to the same files and directories. So at the moment you need to trust the apps in a certain way or not to install it at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAltruistic:
While it is difficult for someone with limited tech experience, it is plausible to protect your data with measures like XPrivacy or PDroid.

However, if you're looking for an answer without jumping through a few technical hoops, there aren't many good ones unfortunately. The best bet is as you already suggested, that is to be smart about where you browse the net, and only install trusted apps. Always think twice and review permissions carefully for any app even if it's from the Play Store.

And don't forget encryption only works similar to a house door. It's only good if you keep it locked. But if you let the bad guys into your house (i.e., installing a naughty app), it doesn't protect you much. It only keeps them out so long as you don't let them in (physical access). P.S. I'm assuming you're talking about the stock android encryption not actually having individual encrypted files on your device if not then ignore this paragraph (although I'm sure some will disagree that even having SHA-512 AES encrypted files with a extremely complex and long passwords is still not enough to protect data once a malicious user gets their hands on that file.)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgerbasio:
Even on the internal SD card, it looks like once I give an app access to "modify/delete" the entire sd card is exposed; did I understand that correctly? It looks like grant access to everything or nothing.

After reading this:

http://appanalysis.org/

It seems that even trusted developers can't be trusted. I don't consider myself a novice user but I'm really surprised at how exposed the data is on phones and tablets. Its like leaving money on your front porch and hoping it isn't too tempting for someone to walk though a broken gate and grab.

Any idea what WP, iOS or BB10 offer in the way of data protection?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurpher:
Hi guys,

Any progress? I use PDroid on my smartphone and find it unnerving to see how much and how often data is accessed not only by third party apps but by Google itself. With PDroid you can restrict permissions without bricking the app because it can provide fake data rather than none. I have to say that I am not entirely happy with it though. I hope that Firefox OS will have success in stopping the appification of our devices. Data wise, it is much safer to use web-based services than app-based services.

I think Google's Android is so successful with developers (also) because they can gather so much data. Our smartphones are unfortunately "data gold mines" for the ICT industry.

If you have any progress in improving privacy, safety and security of the Nexus 7 than I'd be happy to read about it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
Just flash your rom again. I would hope you have it saved on your sd card or internal memory. If you have a backup you can also try restoring a backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ferlanero:
After the success of the list that clean all the bloatware that Motorola installs on the Razr XT910 on ICS, now here you have the list for Jelly Bean.

​

The main idea is to leave the Official Jelly Bean Stock ROM 4.1.2 (ver. 982.124.14.XT910.xxx.en.EU) as close as possible to the original Android provided by Google. The results after applying this tweaks are impressive in speed gain, battery saving and audio quality on calls.

Initially I have not deleted anything. What I have done is rooting the phone and freeze all the Motorola bloatware with the App "Quarantine Pro" (http://is.gd/vi2ADR) -You can use Titanium Backup Pro too-. Thus if you want to recover some feature of the unmodified original ROM (update via OTA , etc.), you could.

The advantage of applying this mod over an official ROM is that we will get results with all that entails in terms of stability and specific design for our hard but with the undeniable benefits of a custom ROM in terms of fluency, speed and battery saving.

Then I leave the (huge) list of garbage apps and services that can be freezed without stability problems or FC (I tested one by one) in a Motorola Razr XT910. The list is ordered as follows:

App name, service or process | Is it safe to freeze? | Package name | ODEX Name | Description

Check list of bloatware here:

Also I made 2 installable scripts (gthx to PeGaSo32a). This scripts automatically remove the bloatware of the list above through Recovery. Both scripts work perfect on the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Stock Oficial (ver. 982.124.14.XT910.en.EU). They might work on other ROMs but it's not tested. It´s highly recommended to make a Nand Backup from Recovery to avoid unnecessary bricks.

[DeBlur - DeBloat] [Aggressive] It only maintains the proccess tagged as "Caution" in the bloatware list.

[DeBlur - DeBloat] [Moderate] Suitable for most users. It maintains Smart Actions, initial config, Swype keyboard (it removes the Motorola one), email syncronization and general use apps.

Steps to install the [DeBlur - DeBloat] scripts:

You must to be ROOT.

Save the file in your SD Card.

Charge the phone battery at least at 70% Reset your phone and enter in the Recovery mode.

Go to “Install zip from sdcard” option and select it.

Select “Choose zip from sdcard” option.

Go to the .zip file you saved before on your SD Card and select it.

Confirm the instalation by pressing “Yes — Install xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip”

When the install ends you must to do "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik-Cache".

Select “Reboot system now”.

Congratulations, your phone is free of bloatware now.

It´s highly recommended to make a Nand Backup from Recovery to avoid unnecessary bricks.

After you test the MOD, please come back and give your feedbak in the poll above. Thanks for your colaboration.

Note: You can also use this list in any Motorola Android based phone. Motorola use (almost) the same name for its app and services.

I have tested it on Razr XT910 with Bootmenu Manager with Official Jelly Bean Stock ROM 4.1.2 (ver. 982.124.14.XT910.xxx.en.EU) and everything works perfect. Wich Razr model and what ROM do you have? Do you perform both "Wipe Cache" and "Wipe Dalvik-Cache"?

Hi, thanks for your work.

I installed the moderate script and my razr maxx became faster, thats for sure.

But I miss some apps like motocast, genie widget(news and weather),webtop mode etc.So I modified the script and removed some lines.But now I cannot install the zip package.I guess it is signed and it needs to be signed again.

Any suggestions?

But you can easily freeze them and unfreeze when you'll need.

Can someone provide me the default Velvet.apk from this official ROM. It seems that deleting it and adding in system/app the updated version of Google Search corrupts the the voice recognition. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jack'O:
You can download from the link below, but did you set the right permissions to the file you moved to /system/app? (rw-r--r--)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/84g1bg43t6qvlxb/Velvet.apk
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LeopardSurd:
Sure, I've set the right permissions. The updated Google Search (moved to system/app and renamed to Velvet.apk) seems to work if texting (using keyboard) but not if using voice search. If I delete Velvet.apk and install Google Search from Market without moving it to system/app, everything is all right.

I've used your apk, but need to be installed and then moved from data/app to system app and renamed to Velvet.apk (with correct permissions). If I move it directly from where I've saved it to system/app (with permissions) it is not recognised.

Perhaps there is a lib dependency.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryd3r89:
I installed the moderate package and my razr is indeed faster.But i have a problem.Since i installed the script, all my notifications wont dissapear from notification area.If i use the remove all button, it works, but only for a limited period of time, and the notifications show up again.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwukduck:
Hey guys,

I just upgraded to Revolution HD 32.0 (coming from 31.0).

Here's what i did.

Boot into recovery.

Clear cache+dalvic-cache.

Install zip from sd-card (select revolution hd 32.0)

Started Aroma installer, left everything pretty much default, just removed some of the samsung junk.

After the install was finished i cleared the cache again and rebooted the device.

It started with the start up logo and after a minute or so "Android upgrading..." with the applications counting.

After that it shows "Finishing boot"

Then nothing, it stays at that for like 5 minutes, then reboots and stays stuck at the samsung logo.

So i decided to boot into recovery, whipe caches and fix permissions and reboot again.

Same thing happened as before.

So i wanted to do a full clean install of the rom, wiping all userdata.

Surprise! Can't get into recovery or download mode anymore.

Took out battery for a few minutes and put it back in.

Still can't access download mode or recovery with vol+menu+pwr...

Does anyone know what's going on, or better, how i can possibly fix this?

I have no idea how to access my device now to make changes...

Thanks a lot!
