Hi there,

Just a quick question. I have an HTC One XL (Telstra) that is currently on AT&T 3.18. Is it possible to downgrade back to an earlier stock firmware (in this case Telstra 1.89 RUU) or would I have to downgrade my hboot from 2.14 first?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] heleos:
Unrooted stock nexus 7. Rarely used (going to be in my car when I get hardware to mount it) but whenever I boot up the device, it sticks on the "Google" menu indefinitely, until I hold the power button for 10 seconds to shut it off. On the next boot immediately following it, it boots fine.

I tried a factory reset, as well clearing the cache. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] johnomaz:
Have you done a factory reset? If not, start there. If so and it still works, get the Nexus Toolkit and do a fresh flash of the factory software.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Hey all,

//************EDIT******

Move to the end of 4th page for the NEW version

************* EDIT******//

Ultimately security software for Pocket PC devices (phone edition only)..

The software checks the SIM card every time u do a soft reset or even HARD-RESET to yr fone.. So if that SIM aint yrs(the one specified in the program itself), it sends an SMS to another specified number(maybe to yr Dad' #) from the thief' SIM card, presuming that any thief after stealing, wld through away yr SIM and put his own in yr device and doesnt know the secret about this software..

The software also doesnt let the thief know that its been installed or running or an sms is been sent to yr number.. So u can keep him unnoticed until u track him down and shoot!

NOTE:

The DEMO version attached below will not send an sms but instead it shows up a message box sayin if its yr SIM or changed one..

SMS feature will be available in the full version only..

-If yr visiting this page for the first time, i reccomend u to skip two pages of posted replies as it contains posts abt the beta version.

EDIT:

To get the full version pm me..

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
What's the benefit over this free program? It looks to me like they do exactly the same?

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=2526
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Oh yeah...!

The software would have sent the sms as soon as the SIM is changed and even before the device becomes usable and so before flashing, u got the punk' Number..

But a normal thief, wldn do such stuff!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
I checked that jus now..!

i checked that post jus now!

It is a more complicated process and basically works with owner information.. it fails if the thief doesnt change that..

Mine works by SIM card.. as soon as the new SIM is inserted, it recognizes and sends the messages..

Itz nice u guys come put more questions to make me challenging :)

But still, im an MBBS student and i had this hobby of programming for long.. So im jus designing things to satisfy myself :)

So, If yr intrested, u can try mine...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thefunkygibbon:
this app needs more love. its a great idea. most pikeys that find or steal a phone like this wouldnt know the first thing on how to flash it!. might be a good idea to include the following data in the SMS

current cell site associated with it or the area code for the current area.

maybe any other data that you can gleam from the sim card
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Carty: have you posted this anywhere for download or trial? I can't see any links...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Tats a gud question too :p

Hey vijay,

This software, to make the security level higher, has the SIM info written in the program itself.. itz no point askin for trial cz itz gonna work as i say.. If anyone wants to buy, i first give a small program that will read the info from SIM & msg me thru SMS..then i rite the same to the program & give u.. so that ting works only wit yr SIM & none else cld try using it! After making it sure that the software works as i said, u can pay me then! but still i don kno any way to get yr money to me here.. The only option is thru mail, if u have any oter better option, temme...!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Awrite, planned for the DEMO...

As u guys need a DEMO, ive made it..

First u gotta install the attached app, It reads yr SIM and sends me the required information.. I then incorporate those details into the program and send you the trial..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi Carty,

Speaking for myself only; I don't like trying a Sim ripper which send who knows what info to an unknown person. Guess the program could extract a lot more from my sim or magician (eg imei) than I would like to be send over the internet.

Like your id, but at the moment no thanks, unless I can bind my (ascii)data self into the program.

Guess it will be written into the rom to survive a hard-reset & I don't want my device locked by anything, got I hate sim-locks. So there must be a bypass or de-install as well.

Another prob i can think off, what about dual-sim owners?

Again I like the idea, but am paranoid in this field.

Regards, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Nice precautions.. :)

Yr too carefull abt yr device i gezz.. :) Tats gud! anyway this software survives Hard-reset as told, but not needed to be surely put in ROM.. The exe file is kept in a folder 2577 in yr internal storage renamed as Autorun.exe and so it gets executed.. The main advantage is that it doesn require any installation necessarily, jus the exe file can be executed just after hard reset.. The folder' attribute is set to be hidden and so wont show up normally.. But if the thief' aware of this, he can delete that file wit yr SIM in it and then do a hard reset..For this reason, ROM incorporation wld be usefull.. But i don think a thief wld do all such stuff as his first concentration would be to change the SIM and once changed, itz finished!

But still, y i din try incorporating the file in ROM cz, if the thief cld find the facility of autorun in folder 2577, he wld very well know abt flashing ROMs and so its no point.. But in real life, a thief normally wont have such knowledge and thats wer my software helps.. :)

Awrite, to those who r really worried and don trust my software to get the only required info, Im letting out the secret, itz jus the phone number that was used to check the sim.. So gemme yr number thru private message to me.. The point of making a software to gemme the detail is to avoid the country code error as some SIM contains those while the oters dont.. Mine din have so u gemme without country code..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] chetccox:
program for sim data

I installed your program and executed it. It didn't seem to do anything on my universal, but now I can't uninstall it. How do I get rid of whatever it did or didn't do? Is it supposed to send you an sms? I don't think it did so as my prepaid sim card does not show any less money than was on it before.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Carty,

Just pm'd you my number to check & to send the alert to. As the program ends up in storage resco must be able to show it, it shows all my hidden files.

Regards, M

Course I check before changing sim's
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
Back againn...

Today morning i checked by changing some SIM cards and some din have their number in it.. Bad network providers, they don even put their number in SIM cards.. So for these cases, im gonna change the coding in my software to send an sms if the number is not present also..So right now this software should work only to those having their SIM cards with their own number in it provided by the operator..

Oltp, i got yr number and wld do the demo for you today evening and post it here.. and before, install my check software and press the read sim button and if it says read succesfull, then yr SIM has number and the software would work.. U dont have to press the second button saying send request as u wer scared to send any information though it reads nothing oter than yr sim number..

chetccox, there should be two buttons in tat check software.. first one gets enabled wen u type sumthin in the name textbox and on pressing the read sim button, second one would get enabled and saying Read succesfull.. if u got this message read successfull, then yr sim has yr number and the software has detected it.so on pressing the send request button, the number would be sent to me, im not sure y it din send the sms..Maybe yr number doesn allow international sms or so... Anyway il do the demo for you too today evening and post here..

For others, im gonna change the check software, instead of sending me the sms, it would directly display the number on yr screen.. Its jus to make sure that yr SIM has yr number and the software is capable of detecting it and so the Theft Alert software would work fine..

Everything today evening as im held up in my college..

Lil abt me for u guys, Im actually an MBBS student, doin my third yr. Programming was my hobby for a long time and i have great intrest in it.. Lately im tryin to improve my skills to target on smart devices (Poket PCs) since i own one, id like to customize it to my needs as i wish! :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
@Carty,

I think this software _could_ be interesting to quite a few of us, provided you get it running without us having to send you any personal details - that's the things we are trying to keep to ourselves in the first place.

But please, please write your messages in real english, not some made up stuff. Trying to figure out what you mean by guessing how you pronounce words in your local lingo, makes my head hurt :-(

Anyway, together with PDAKill, this could be an essential piece of software for security aware users, so keep up the good work.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Cutefox:
why dun u jus make a program that stays in the rom and would only sms to a desired number the number the thief is using whenever there is a sim change. then this way the thief cannot run away wit ur device. u can jus keep harrassing him or get the police involved as well. even better if it can make use the telco towers.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Dear Carty,

Apparently the Dutch sim's aren't containing the phone number either:

Hi oltp,

Tats de same error i gt wen using it wit my fren' SIM.. So letz try this idea.. The sim phonebuk has a place for own numbers.. can v write our numbers to it and access it to check? or even most of us wont use the SIM phonebook, so v cld write it down an entry in it and access.. Can v..?

By the way, oltp, i used to program with Visual Basic .net 2003.. Wot abt u..?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:

For Chetccox

Hi chetccox,

Since you were able to click the button send sms(it gets enabled only if yr SIM has a number) in the pre-requisite software without any error, i assume yr SIM has the number luckily.. So with the number u gave, ive made the Beta for you.. To prevent wasting of messages under test, ive made it not to send an sms but instead, it will show up in the screen if the SIM has been changed..Else it says Welcome.. Test it out.. Gud Luck...

*The number i included was without country code. Presumed that yr SIM number wont have it as mine din have it too..

Download and install, goto the installed folder and copy the NetCF.exe file to windows\startup

If u turn on yr fone wit yr fone, u shld get Welcome msg.. Check it with a different SIM and it should say "SIM changed"
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Carty,

it works after entering an entry with my [first name] in the 'list of own numbers' with sim-manager. ran netcf again with credential [first name] & it finished correctly.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
The moment you notice your PDA is gone, you borrow a phone and send a SMS to your own number, trying to get PDAKill to destroy all data. I have never had a phone stolen myself, but I am told that thieves often like to gloat and maybe even will answer calls on the owners SIM card. Even if the thief isn't that mean, there's still a chance that you beat him to it and get everything deleted, before he can remove your SIM card.

If the thief is faster than you and you don't get things deleted, it would be nice to receive a single SMS with the new phone number. That way you can activate PDAKill through that and then contact the police and give them the number.

My #1 priority is to delete my data from the PDA. To the best of my knowledge something like 99% of all stolen phones are gone for good, so get the data deleted if at all possible and then let it go...

Now how can I enable the program to send an sms to see if that actually works, and if it will send the new sim phone number. I will certainly purchase a working program, but you have no way to accept funds. By the way, my middle initial is 'c', thus the name chetccox. I am male, and had to use my name that way because often chetcox is already taken. On this forum it may not have been, but I try to use the same name everywhere so that I can remember what I used.
