Better solution

Here the fast fix attempts to simply close the duplicate file exploit (what this essential is during the zip/unzip process), a better solution would be to modify the OS to use a TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) method, which would be simple enough to insure very low overhead, example would be a simple rotating, key, subkey column method.

What will happen now and is, would be the generations of common or desiable applications that have been compromised, where the target assumes it is a "Real Deal" and it simply looks and feels like the Real Deal but would essential work on that exploited victim's system like some notorious rootkit.

Hello,

Yesterday, I finally decided to take the leap and root my galaxy S3 in order to flash the AOKP ROM. Everything went smoothly, except the camera did not work in AOKP, so I decided to revert back to the stock Rogers ROM I had downloaded earlier, just in case. I flashed it through Odin and had no errors, however, during reboot, my phone got stuck on the samsung logo.

I still have access to download mode and recovery, but I have no idea what to do at this point, so I would like to have your help

Thank you in advance

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] altrikdout21:
Glad you got it working, but for future reference, make a backup! That way you won't have to restore through ODIN each time.

[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
It says I cannot install windows 8.1 because ubuntu doesn't use ntfs partition but ext4. How can I do a clean install of windows 8.1?!

Thanks in advance
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Uh, reformat? The Windows installer can format the partition for you. I actually recommend deleting all the partitions and just having Windows create its own partition scheme in the resulting unallocated space (which it will do automatically if you tell Windows to install to that space).
[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
I cannot click reformat in windows installer. And I have 2partitions: one bootable (297Gb) and one 'logical' (3Gb), what does the logical mean, and is it safe to delete?
[Windows 8 General] vaibhav1:
I think your partitions show dynamic in status Windows is not install on dynamic partitions so

Backup you date

Delete all partitions and create new partitions use Windows disk then install :)
[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
Is it safe to remove every partition? How can I create a new one, I only have a bootable USB with win 8.1.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
... if you can't figure out how to use the Windows installer partitioning tool, I really can't recommend that you try installing an OS from scratch. It's the most ridiculously-simple tool of it's kind I've ever seen. It has options like Create [Partition], Delete, Resize, and Format. It's graphical and mouse-driven. Even the so-called "Advanced" configuration just shows a few more extremely basic functions.

As I already told you, just deleting all the partitions and then letting the Windows installer set the drive up the way it wants to is possibly the best option. You can get a trivial amount more free space if you tweak the volume sizes, and a separate boot value isn't technically required if you're never going to enable BitLocker on the system, plus there are reasons to use other custom partitioning schemes... but in general, that's just asking for trouble. The defaults are very good. Just use them.
[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
Sorry, I'm just scared for crashing my pc, and in the installer, the format button was there, but it was grey:not clickable. So for confirmation, it's safe to delete all partitions? I will still be able to boot from USB and install it?
[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
Got it! Thanks for your help!
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
I'd have been curious to know what the "Show Details" indicated, but it sounds like you got it working anyhow. Glad to hear it!

By the way, booting off USB is determined by the BIOS/EFI. It has nothing to do with the hard disk. You can boot off USB without even having a hard disk installed at all.
[Windows 8 General] Thatgrass:
Thanks man, couldn't have done it without you!

Emergency Firmware Recovery in Kies requires a "recovery code from the previous PC".

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zregnier:
I haven't been able to update and have given up for now. I did two factory resets, and used Odin to flash back to stock twice, both without any luck. I went ahead and just set everything back up the way it was for now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbsmith:
Hi,

I've been playing with Juice Defender (free version on Balanced Profile) as well as Tasker. As far as I can see JD is more or less disabling the wifi and mobile data when it's not needed. I will say I've noticed an improvement in battery life with the free version of JD in balanced mode.

On the other side, I just recently turned off JD to try out Tasker. Right now I have Tasker turning off the mobile data and wifi when the screen is turned off then while the screen is still off Tasker turns on the wifi and mobile data every 30 min, and keeps it on for 5 min, then turns it back off again. and the last step is that Tasker will turn on wifi and mobile data when a user unlocks the screen.

So my question is - which one is better at saving battery? In my Better Battery Stats it seems that JD is not turning the wifi and mobile data off, rather just disconnecting wifi. Additionally with Tasker it seems in BBS I now have a "connectivityservice" that seems to have increased its battery usage (not always on/connected).

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
OK you didn't mention how battery life improve with Tasker. See you could have easily got the results yourself as you already did half the work with juice defender. You just have to do the same with Tasker and compare the two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbsmith:
Well the jury is still out on battery life with Tasker...I guess I was more wondering if anyone knew if that's all JD did (turn off wifi/mobile data). If that's the case then I'd assume Tasker would have similar effects on the battery...and since Tasker can do so much more, I'd probably buy that instead of the higher levels of JD.

So perhaps that's a better way to word my question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Well the free version of DS battery saver does more as it closes all apps running in the background. Combine that with Greenify and you will see improvement in battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
also going to vouch for DS battery saver. ive seen many post good results with it.

I only turn data and wifi on when i use them though so im not too familiar with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I found I have better life with Llama, than I do with juice defender... And I used the paid version, tweaked to the hilt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I have been using juice defender ultimate for almost a year and can say it was the best 4 or 5 bucks I could have spent. With the ultimate you have more options. I am usually up between 5 and 6 ever morning and unless I am making a ton of phone calls I can make it until 8 or 9 every night.

Hello!

I have used my S2 quite a while now and have had the same ROM for a while too, but not bothered about it. I have only used the internet a lot on it and messaged/called people. It has started to get very slow and it feels laggy. Sometimes when I accidently doubleclick the homebutton or something, it changes the color of the phone and I have to restart the phone to get back to the normal color. And sometimes 50% battery disappear jut when I restart the phone. Therefore I wanna reset the phone(remove ROM and all stuff) back to how it was when I bought it. I hope this will make my phone faster. How do I reset it or restore it back to normal firmware? Or is there a guide I can follow?

Thanks in advance!
