Hi all

This a suggestion and please say your opinion about it.

Microsoft is using DRM into WP store stuffs and due to it WP has to connect to internet for installation. So I think we need find a way like spoofing on BADA OS because samsung used same thing (not completely!) but it broken via spoofing!

I think devs,members and who knows about mobile OSes can help me and answer me that this way is possible or not?

For more info about spoofing go here:

P.S: @moderators if this thread posted at wrong section , please move it to correct section.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] netham45:
This is more or less how ChevronWP7 worked. Sadly, they enforced cert pinning in WP8, so we can't use this method anymore.

Samsung phones unlocked via Diagnosis. So what about Nokia , HTC and Huawei devices?! Diagnosis has Samsung's APIs and doesn't install on other phones but there are same (more or less) apps in store. Those are will work or not?! How about boot loader?! it's locked? This OS is really close!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] -W_O_L_F-:
Any Samsung system app won't work on other phones cause FCRouter is Samsung's service.

However even MS security isn't strong.

Main problem is Qualcomm's SecureBoot.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ultrashot:
That's NVRAM/EFS carrier-specific stuff. It doesn't contain anything useful for hacking, also there is no simple way to write information there. (well, there is a small "hack" that allows getting into SwUpdate mode on live device, but it doesn't help)

DiagnosticTool_Sprint for HTC phones!

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/s...l_sprint/e69a2877-59b8-43ed-898d-554fbc4b8b2b

Due to Qualcomm's SecureBoot have to find a way into registery for hacking or atleast change unsigned value to big or unlimited value. What to do you think?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] bruce142:
I'll already posted an unencrypted version of the DiagnosticTool Sprint, see if you can find anything interesting.

I thought the Qualcomm's SecureBoot was put in place by a blown hardware fuse (that explains why some of the engineering phones have the Qualcomm SecureBoot unlocked because they have an intact fuse), so you can't solve this problem through software/registry editing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcaauwe:
So after seeing KitKat in action, I hunted down an Android phone eligible for a KitKat ROM. I traded my iPhone for a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 (i535) I got it rooted and CWM on it just fine, and the boot loader unlocked. (or so I thought) Went into recovery and did all the steps to install the ROM, got it installed, along with G-Apps and rebooted. My phone came to a screen saying

"system software not authorized by Verizon wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."

As far as I can tell, the boot loader was not successfully unlocked. So, it's back to stock ROM via Odin, right? :laugh:

NO! All the guides I find say to download an app to reset the binary counter. How do I do that if I have no OS to boot to?

Any Ideas? Did my enticement for KitKat get the best of me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrMeeseeks:
You shouldn't need triangle away to Odin back to stock. Triangle away would be for if you were trying to take your phone back to Verizon or Samsung for warranty work and didn't want them to know it was previously rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcaauwe:
O, thanks for clearing that up. So what's my next step to getting it back to a working phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrMeeseeks:
Follow the instructions in section 5 of this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709. This will get you back to stock and unrooted. Then you will have to do the root unlock processs again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
and or use the casual all in one tool and follow root, and flash insecure aboot then download Rom manager from google play and install latest CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stolo:
I just had my s3 replaced under warranty. The new one, I used casual to root/unlock, etc. Worked great! I think I let casual install everything then flashed CM from recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but once you get it back to functional and rooted, I would recommend you try out some of the wonderful custom TouchWIz ROMs on the forum here. They have most of if not more features than are in Kit Kat and there are no fully functional Kit Kat ROMSs for the S3 yet. Plus thse ROMs are stable and all your Samsung features will work properly . MORA, Hyperdrive, Synergy, and Jelly "beans" are good examples of excellent ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcaauwe:
So I figured out what went wrong, and I'm still kicking myself for how stupid of problem it was. The reason Odin didn't want to work was because I was using the front USB ports on my system, which are not USB 2.0... I spent 6 hours trying to figure it out. So I hooked it up to a rear USB port, flashed it back to stock ROM, redid the Root, unlocked bootloader (which I didn't do in the first place) and now I'm getting Cyanogenmod on it. :D

Thanks everyone for the help! I hope anyone else who comes across this who where in the same boat I was can figure it out.

Sometimes it's a user-error.

i know you say you are ROOT but why dont you check using ROOT CHECKER download it from the play store its gonna tell you if you are root or not. im using sspencer10 KITKAT 4.4 CM11 and is running pretty smooth why don't you try it out just download the .zip reboot into RECOVERY i preffer you use TWRP (last version) go to whipe>advanced wipe and clear, Dalvik Cache>System>Data>Cache (optional i alwayz check mark Internal storage looking for space and alwayz make a clean flash same as Format Data) make sure you backup everything first using Titatinium Backup go back, then go to Install search for your .zip file on ur SDCard or Internal Storage first select the ROM ADD MORE FILE and add the GAPPS click REBOOT SYSTEM AND ENJOY YOUR NEW KITKAT 4.4 CM11 ON YOUR SGS3.

[Networking] protein.synthesis:
Hi all. I dont know if this is the right place to post but please bear with me.

I am using ES File Explorer and want to access my files remotely. From what Ive read SMB (Server Message Block) port would need to be forwarded on a router's firewall. Also SMB is not encrypted and so I wanted to access my files using ES File Explorer over SSH, using an app like SSHTunnel on my phone.

Is it possible to use SMB over SSH without opening SMB port? Thanks :)
[Networking] gonzas144:
same question here, would love to have ssh file explorer
[Networking] Renz33:
ssh into ur ssh server and forward from any port above 1024 since thats the android restriction to 445 (samba port).Then connect to 127.0.0.1:4450 (port that i have specified as source) via ES file explorer
[Networking] wstocker:
Tried this but can't get it to work in present day

I have done just that but I cannot get the phone to connect to the SMB share after I establish the SSH connection and forward the respective port.

I tried entering localhost:[port] in the LAN server field and I get an error message from ES file Explorer upon connecting.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargazer_vit:
Hey guys.

I recently got my new Note 3 (N9005, unlocked, no carrier) and upgraded it to the latest MJ7 FW. Now when I started to look for ways to root it, without triggering that KNOX counter, I couldn't find any clear info on it. Is it possible on the latest MJ7? If it is, how? Have anyone tried it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargazer_vit:
Oh, just to make it clear - I'm aware of that "Root De La Vega" but first couldn't find working link to the scripts and second I couldn't find any info about whether it triggers the KNOX counter on MJ7 FW?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luycks:
No that is not possible yet, because you are on the 'new' bootloader now, which prevents the RDLV method. I read that also kingo and vroot triggered knox. Sorry man, but for now it's better to wait for some smart developer to come up with a solution...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stargazer_vit:
And going back to older FW is not an option? I mean downloading old FW from sammobile and using Odin dropping this older FW?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsm52:
Downgrade isn't possible. U'll end up with boot loops if you try.

If u want root without triggering knox, then you'll have to wait until another exploit is found.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhengsmall:
I tried kingo and vroot on my Note 3 (SM-9005, Firmware version MJ7). They both failed to root the device. But the KNOX remained 0x00, meaning that the warranty was still valid.

So, what do u mean by ' I read that also kingo and vroot triggered knox.' Does it apply to MJ7? Or did someone succeed rooting the Note 3 with Firmware version MJ7 and end with voiding the KNOX warranty (0x01)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
There is NO WAY at the moment to root MJ7 without triggering Knox... Period...

If you needed root you should've rooted it before update to MJ7 and then updated with Mobile ODIN Pro...But that ship hasn't only sailed, its been hit by an iceberg and sunk....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhengsmall:
Thx anyway, I have to wait before new approaches are revealed since I'd like to keep the KNOX flag 0x00.

When I turn my phone on after a full charge, it shows a solid red light in the LED display and I cannot see anything on the screen? What does this mean and how can I fix this? I am attempting to replace the screen/digitizer on my HTC One X, and I am positive I have connected this display correctly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Are you sure you got the correct screen? There are three different models for this phone and you must ensure you install the right one. Also, did you sync the screen?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dan798:
Well I purchased the screen off of Ebay and it states "Original OEM Assembly Full LCD Display Screen Touch Digitizer HTC One X OneX". The screen looks to be the right one upon comparison between my old one and new one. I have a telus HTC One X, which is the same as the AT&T version, I am not sure about how to find the version of the screen. I thought that they would just be compatible, otherwise I will be getting a refund. So how can you tell if the screen is the correct one?

Also I am unfamiliar with how to sync the screen. I am following a youtube video which shows you how to test the display by connecting the display. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIeO0DueMcg
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can tell if the screen is the right one by the flex cable connected to it. If it is the same as the old flex cable and the same colour then you have the right screen. To sync the screen you need to remove the old screen and install the new screen while the phone is powered on.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dan798:
Ok, the cables are the same colour and everything so I think it should be fine. I disconnected the battery and the reconnected it, turned on the phone with the old damaged screen in. It started up and flashed green once briefly (this is normal), and then the LED light went solid red.

I then took the old screen out, and plugged the new one in and still had no activity. :(

BTW I really appreciate your help. I will definitely do my best to explain what is happening, I can even post pictures or video if necessary.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It's possible you've damaged something during the installation process. It's a bit hard to say. To be honest I'm not much more help other than what I've already posted here, that's about the extent of my knowledge when it comes to replacing the display.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dan798:
Thats ok, your input was still valuable. I think it might be a battery issue. I don't see anything immediately noticeable that I could have damaged, I was quite careful during the whole process. I bought a new battery for $10 and I will try putting that in when I get it. Before I had charged my old battery fully it was flashing red, which I read meant it was on low battery. So I charged it, and now its solid red even when the charger is not connected. I am not sure what this exactly means but hopefully if people like yourself keep posting suggestions I might just figure this out!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sonicthoughts:
There is a new FCC chairman and he wants carriers to "unlock" phones. The argument for bootloader and carrier lock are quite similar. The definition of unlock is at play. It is super easy to lobby them.

If you want to complain then write the fcc: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints

I tried to purchase a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Without a contract at full retail price. AT&T. I would like to modify the phone for a visual impairment application. AT&T has a phone unlock policy: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/”

They have limited the unlock definition saying it does not apply to an “unlocked bootloader” which is necessary to modify the device. AT&T and Verizon are the only worldwide carriers with this practice. They have added custom software to permanently destroy the device if tampered with. They created a shadow policy on bootloaders:http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...tloaders-so-stop-asking-us-about-every-phone/.

The claim “To ensure a safe and consistent experience on your wireless device, we do not support unlocked bootloaders” is nonsense since they allow ANY GSM device on their network. Please add bootloaders explicitly to the FCC unlock policy.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Skizzy034:
You should mention specifically that T-Mobile and Sprint have their bootloaders unlocked and there have been no problems with inconsistent service. AT&T and Verizon are just abusing their power. Being the largest two carriers, they dictate to manufacturers to lock down the devices to force us not to tether anyway but through them and to use their "bloat apps". Any other reason they state they lock the devices down for is absurd and bs.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] khaytsus:
No, the FCC couldn't care less about our ability to modify our phones. It has zero to do with antitrust or consumer portability. Therefore, the FCC won't care.

No matter how you attempt to word it, it's not the same thing, doesn't do the same things, and in reality nobody cares except the XDA echo chamber.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tomthedancingbug:
the argument for forcing att/verizon to unlock phones and bootloaders falls flat when other companies(tmobile sprint) offer phones with unlocked bootloaders and unlocked for gsm use(tmobile-if you buy full price)

no one is forcing you to stick with att version, when there are other options, it sounds silly when its a gsm capable phone you're complaining about
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Solarenemy68:
FCC does not regulate this part of the industry nor do they regulate what a manufacturer or dealer puts on the phone as long as it does not violate FCC rules in the way it performs as a phone.

In short the FCC has no authority on the subject of bootloaders. End of thread..

[General Questions and Answers] HarryH987:
After updating to Kit Kat I decided to try out a game I've been playing recently (Modern Combat 4). A normally smooth game with not too many glitches is now nearly unplayable. When I am aiming my gun (It is an FPS game) the aim goes crazy as if someone else is moving my screen around. I was interested to see if this was an issue with only this game... It wasnt. Modern Combat 3 doesn't even start up, minecraft pocket edition has the same weird movements while moving my player around. Grand theft auto vice city has had extreme lag issues. For me this is a major issue because I use my tablet a lot for gaming. By the way it is a Nexus 7 (2013) Running stock 4.4. So overall, my question is has anyone else experienced this? Has google said anything about it, and if none of these have happened yet... How can I downgrade to 4.3? Thank You!
