Probably better off tracking down some of the Samsung development leads, get to know them. shower them in gifts such as booze,drugs and women. and see if they will open the door.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] tcf38012:
Thanks for your reply,

It depends so that's why its worth a shot.

If you can, plz post the certificate and signature.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1#Attacks

While your effort is admirable, I don't think you guys (respectfully) understand the technical limitations of why this isn't realistic. You see, SHA-1 is a one-way process. You can't 'decrypt' it per se, but you can find collisions, which is a string that would have the same hash. This is highly unlikely in the next 50 generations of your families. Even with entire universities of computing power, it would take hundreds of thousands of years to complete. This isn't one of those things where you 'just get lucky' and get it. Even if we had a working collision, it's more complicated than just 'plugging' it in. Your efforts would better be served letting Samsung and Verizon what you think.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YoungSkeezy:
I wanted to say something similar, but was afraid to sound like a jerk lol

*break*

seriously wish you guys all the luck, and much respect for even doing this undertaking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] staticx57:
As of 2012, the most efficient attack against SHA-1 is considered to be the one by Marc Stevens[30] with an estimated cost of $2.77M to break a single hash value by renting CPU power from cloud servers.[31] Stevens developed this attack in a project called HashClash,[32] implementing a differential path attack. On 8 November 2010, he claimed he had a fully working near-collision attack against full SHA-1 working with an estimated complexity equivalent to 257.5 SHA-1 compressions. He estimates this attack can be extended to a full collision with a complexity around 261.

Anyone willing to donate an extremely large amount of money towards this? :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
I wonder if someone more clever than I could devise a way to make a XDA-developers cloud supercomputing program. Forums members could opt in to help with the processing load... No idea of the scales involved or the logistics, simply brainstorming.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
All for one phone? Your all better getting the dev edition.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Marvelicious75:
I agree. Tracking says it'll be here Tuesday. ;)

I'm talking longer term - we start punching holes in their supposedly bulletproof bootloaders and perhaps they will be forced to reconsider. Just an idea, no idea if it is feasible or not.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] keynith:
Yeah mine should be here tomorrow. I feel they'll just keep patching it though even more. Verizon is very locked on locking bootloaders.

Hi everyone,

I'm not new to the Android world (got sidetracked by Apple for a while lol) been here done that for a long time :). Does anyone know of a good realible text/MMS app that doesn't compress pics so much when sharing? I'm not ready to root yet, this thing is a beast as is. I just can't believe how shi*** pics actually look after they've been compressed so much. Thanks in advance for the help

Hello all,

Has anyone here used sunnysoft backup mananger 3.7 to backup and restore a whole machine?

What I mean by that is, install backup manager, backup the machine, hard reset it so all data is gone, then install backup manager and restore everything so it is as before the hard reset.

Any info would be great
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meatychi:
Use the search facility and you should find a fair few threads!

I arent keen on the sunnysoft as explained in the previous thread!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] taiseer999:
I have, it even worked after a ROM upgrade, only drawback (did not bother me though) is losing all messeges.

Otherwize its perfect.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] feferosenbaum:
Sunnysoft backup manager

Works very good even after complete crash EXCEPT PIM !!!

I mean:contact,calendar etc

For these you'll need to synchronize again

Other small things not included in the backup:

- voice tags

-Speed dial

- Mobimate configuration
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Morituri:
Thanks all, yeah saw that post didn't realy specify the situation of the restore, that is why I was a little more specific.

They have v.3.7 on their website. is that what everone here was using?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mythozz:
Yep it works great...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] taiseer999:
Yes thats what I have
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gigino:
Hi

can someone that uses the Sunnysoft Backup confirm if this software works properly on the Xda Exec.

What I mean does it back up the system properly and then restores it propely.

I need an back up software so I can back up everything in my Xda Exec in case of any problems that I need to hard rest the pda so I can restore it back with all my software as it was.

Thank you.

Ciao

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
My question is totally unrelated. I don't have Sunny Soft backup software installed at the moment. I am waiting to purchase another SD card before I start reinstalling everything. But here is my question: How do you enable the automatic backup option? It seemed to me that all it have is a manual backup option.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] feferosenbaum:
Gigino

Yes the restore is working perfectly,once again except the PIM stuff:calendar,contacts,tasks

But those can be restored from Activesync.

They are a few minor things that are not restored even by Activesync:

- voice tags

- speed dials

- Mobimate basic config.

About backuping the PIM itself there is a thread of Buzz how to do it without using Activesync:just find the file PIM.(something) and copy this file to SD
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Koksie:
On Hofo there is a thread on a beta from Sprite, some issues with it still, but works better already than Sunnysoft.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] surf1:
So I noticed on both our S2 and 4, if we're sent a group text, and that group text is a pic or whatever... it'll say hidden sender address -> message not found. Happens all the time, just happened again on a group text with my mom and sis (both iPhone users and all of us with AT&T). Mom responded as obviously she got the pic, I didn't know what it was since I never got anything. I started realizing when this happens with the "message not found" in group text, it's almost always a pic sent from an iPhone person. I don't think it's ever happened on both phones from Android users sending group text with pic.

I've read about this online and lots of people asking the same thing but little/no help or knowing what causes it, I just thought it was odd that I just realized it's when iPhone users send a pic out as a group text. Some were using 3rd party apps and had this issue and reverted to stock, I don't have any 3rd party as I like the stock mms app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexxcastle:
I just got mine in the mail today and have yet to open it. I am seeing all these post with the issues of the phone and honestly they have given me allot of second thoughts. Now i am debating selling it and getting an LG G2 instead. If i open it and play with it i will immediately kill the value of the phone.

Anyone else feel like they didn't get quite what they were expecting?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
Where are the mods to get rid of all these ridiculous new threads.

You didn't even open the freakin box and asking if anyone else didn't get what they were expecting. I was expecting a green box, so yes I was disappointed because it wasn't green.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custo:
You didn't open the box and you're complaining you didn't get what you expected? Interesting logic there...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
You're going to have to open it to resell it anyways, no one in their right mind would trust an unopend box.

Meh. Where have you been all along? This stuff happens for every device on xda in the beginning when device is new. Happened with one, with s4, with nexus 4, optimus G.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
Do you guys even read? The OP is not complaining about his Nexus 5 unit he received and he hasn't opened it yet so he can preserve the ability to return the unit and get a full refund. The OP is implying that he has been seeing issues with the Nexus 5 which he is a bit concerned about and is not sure if he wants to keep it or not. The OP didn't imply that his unit is defective nor did he say what he received is not what he expected. Sheesh learn to read.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
Best phone I've ever owned. Can't speak to the G2, but I've owned Droid Charge, Droid RAZR, GNexus, GS3, Nexus 4, GS4, and Moto X. Nexus 5 is leagues better than all of those except the GS4. With the GS4, it comes down to preference, and I prefer the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TKG26:
Just return the thing to Google and move on.. Silly thread....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 91SDLegend:
You're making decisions based on issues other people are experiencing.. Nothing is ever perfect considering this is the first batch of new N5's. Overtime LG and Google will work together to identify what the problems are with the devices. Especially when you aren't going to open the box and speculate that it "might" have issues. Even if if your phone had issues, you could always call Google and request an RMA to get a replacement device. Why bother buy the device if you're going to think twice about it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexxcastle:
Holy crap the reading comprehension of some of you guys is in the gutter. Did you not read anything i wrote? I made it pretty clear that from reading of the issues in other people post that its made me hesitant on even opening the box. That was the whole point of the post and was asking if other who had been using their phones were disappointing or would take back the action of buying. So next time you want to jump down someones throat READ the post.

As far as the guy that said i had to open it, are you serious? What do you think "New in Box" mean... it means unopened 99% of the time. Ive sold hundreds of unopened phones, they sell much faster when they are new and unopened.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Sell it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcoryh192:
I love this phone. It's fast, fluid, and a Nexus. Can't compare to a G2 or GS4 or any other current Gen phone because I haven't used any (coming from gnex), but the phone just feels great in my hand.

I'm assuming you ordered the phone because you wanted the Nexus experience over another OEM. If that's the case, go for it and enjoy your device. I haven't had any issues with mine at all and there are fixes out for some already (saw a thread here about a fix for the jiggly power button). And any real defects should be covered by warranty.

I say go for it. If you really want a different device, then sell it I guess.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiyeon90:
Personally I would get the g2 over the Nexus 5 anyday
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexxcastle:
Yes i wanted a unbloated Android, i have in the last 6 months had an S4 and a HTC One (current phone), i can get both of them with google editions however they both lose things(HTC One loses lots of cam functions with play edition) with that. When i saw the Nexus 5 it was a phone made for the Google edition and that was the selling point for me. I saw the fix for the button but considering we all just paid $400 for these phones we should not have to open the phone and put paper inside it so a button doesn't rattle lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyly:
yup with 3 roms that they have to choose from :)

i am also thinking about the nexus 5, since there are so many mixed reviews. but we all know if google actually messed up with it, they'd do something about it.

and plus it'll hve great support :)

i'm just waiting for mine to arrive on thursday to see if these problems are even problems to me or maybe i'll end up loving it

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutterjohn:
Damn dude, this is SO much MORE silkily smooth than my n4. (Just got mine about an hour ago, swapped the sim card w/n4/updated checked w/Android Sys Info(electric sheep :D)).

Only downside that I can see in brief playing is that it runs much warmer than my n4... got it back charging now as it came with a 75% charge... also so much lighter than the n4, and really not that much larger... unfortunately a no fit in my warmer weather holster though...

So far, to me, unless something HORRIBLE happens it's really a VERY nice upgrade over the n4...

(In a spigen ultra slim case for the moment... only decent thing I could find that was available NOW, have two others on the way, spigen hybrid and a second...)

all I really was expecting was really better radios, and maybe a bit better overall perf(v. n4), but in 1h has turned out WAY better on both accounts, but now it's busily charging so...

(Only down under the stress of updating everything is that it runs a bit warmer than the n4 under load... might be a problem in the summer outside of AC...)

Background information:

Bought the AT&T version when it came out right away

Got root the first time it was released

Updated root when next update came out ( Didn't know if I need to )

OTA has been Frozen since I got the phone

Is it safe for me? Should I go back to the first version and then update?

Trust me I've read the posts and since I know there have been some issues on the Verizon side I wasn't sure if that was something that was effecting AT&T too. If some one could please give me an explain of that to it would be extremely helpful as I like to know my **** so I can help others.

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] matt99017d:
Flash back to stock via RSDLite. Let it boot up. Get your gmail setup.

When the prompt comes up, DL the .54 update. Install.

Root with jcase's new root method.

Or you could just install safestrap. Install a ROM with the camera update and not worry about it until kitkat comes around.

Sent from non rooted motoX :'(
[Moto X Q&A] Icon000:
I'm not really interested in updating to another Rom unless it has the touchless controls or something really interesting. Touchless Controls is one of the main reasons I got this phone next to battery life.

Is Safestrap finally settled down? I feel like last time I check there were still messages about bugs and other issues?
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
the only rom out for SS that i am aware of is just a ported tmobile rom for vzw phones that has the update built in. Basically it is just the OTA stock rom running on SS. This is what I am using currently. Not sure if it flashable for ATT phones, but I'm sure there is some workaround there. Or maybe the OP on that thread can make a ATT one if you asked him. SS is stable as of now. Haven't had any new updates to it because no one is having any problems currently (at least with moto x devices).

For your question pertaining to options for taking the OTA. There are 4 methods now.

1. SS method described above

2. use the thread called something like "keep root through the OTA." It basically takes the ota without updating the BL so you can still downgrade to your stock original FW that you are on now. It's the same thing as the SS method because SS also does not udpate the BL, but you won't be using SS for this method obviously.

3. you can flash recovery.img (and system.img if you need to) or just RSD, then install pwnmymoto without running it, then take the ota and pwnmymoto will root the phone automatically after the ota is taken. you won't be able to downgrade your FW anymore with this method.

4. you can just take the ota (also must flash or use rsd to take it obviously) and then use jcase's rockmymoto root exploit. This uses adb commands and telnet stuff. Not too difficult but if you are unfamiliar with all of that then it will take at least some reading. There is also a thread out there for windows users that simplifies it pretty well.

For future Kit kat root. it is still up in the air what will happen with that. I chose to use SS because it was easy. quick. and allows me to make nandroids. I also like knowing that I can still flash to original stock FW in case that might be necessarry for getting root on kit kat. This seems less likely now that jcase created a root method for the OTA that is out, but I'm still just playing it safe personally, even if it might be pointless now.
[Android TV General] Argdie:
Hello,

A short time ago I bought tecnology android :) and I've realized that I love to make changes, delete, re-program, install Rom, etc..

I always liked this programming, the only limitation I had was my financial situation, but it does not allow a limitation, short steps going forward.

For this reason I come to ask those who already know how to program, where I can find good tutorials, PDF materials, sources serve me to learn programming this wonder?

I would also like you to tell me how hard it can be. I already I have some knowledge of codes, mainly web design, HTML, CSS and some PHP.

Since today I get to work :).

[Android TV General] StephanBranczyk:
Have you tried looking at the official web site for Android developers from google? I would post a link, but I still don't have enough reputation to post links. You should be able to find it by just googling.

In any case, you could start with Coursera or Udacity. For Coursera, you may have to wait until a class starts. But for either of them, note that you don't need to pay any money to take their classes. On Coursera, click on the title of each course to avoid the paywall. On Udacity, click on the blue buttons to "get free access to the materials", and don't bother with the "nanodegree" or the "free trial", that's where they ask for your credit card number.

On Udacity, it goes from the extremely easy to the extremely hard. Their beginner materials may be too easy for you. And their intermediate materials usually starts getting too hard for most people at around week 4. If that happens to you, go to the Coursera web site.
[Android TV General] hxcellent:
A few steps to start:

1. Google: android development

2. Install Android Studio

3. Set up a GIT repository: hint: google GitStack

4. Create a new app using Android studio template: hello world.

5. Start adding features to it.

It's not as hard as it looks :).
