Hey dude hope this will help

A couple of weeks ago, the iPhone world discovered an exploit (not fixed) that allowed anyone to bypass the lockscreen and access the phone, messages, and even pictures.

Well, the bug has been caught in the GS3 world now, too. A few days ago, mobile enthusiast Terence Eden discovered a flaw that also allowed limited access to certain features of your Samsung Galaxy S3, and only in very certain circumstances. And it works no matter what protection you have enabled...Pattern Lock, PIN, Password, or Face Unlock.

Steps to Exploit #1

Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.

Go to Emergency Call.

Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.

When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.

You will see a flash of your Home Screen (no matter what launcher you are using).

In that second when the Home Screen flashes, you can select an app/widget to execute.

The limitations with this exploit are that almost anything you select will run in the background, and you will be back at the lock screen. Where this exploit can be effective is if, let's say, you have a Direct Dial widget on your homescreen. In this case, someone can hit this widget, and the call will go through.

While this is something that should be fixed, it doesn't actually allow you to do much, so really, it's not all that scary. Unfortunately, the fun doesn't end there.

Yesterday, Sean McMillan of Full Disclosure opened up the initial exploit and discovered something much scarier. If successful, not only will this exploit open up the full contents and capabilities of your S3, but it will disable the lock screen completely until the phone is rebooted.

Steps to Exploit #2

Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.

Go to Emergency Call.

Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.

When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.

Immediately after hitting Home, press the Power button.

If you did this correctly, the next time you press Power, your device will go directly to your homescreen.

This is obviously not good. Sean does note that you may need to do this multiple times to get it to work. Also, it doesn't matter what launcher you are using, or whether you are using a lockscreen replacement or not.

In the interest of full disclosure, I tried about 30 times, both with my rooted/modded phone, and with a bone-dry stock phone, and I couldn't replicate it.

But, just because I couldn't do it, doesn't mean it isn't real and dangerous. At this point, there has not been any word out of Samsung regarding this exploit, but I imagine a response and a patch will be on their way shortly.

ATT just tried to push an OTA update to my Note 2. I don't know what is in this update. I suspect it is 4.3. At least one of the local dealers told me they expected it any day. Unfortunately, with my rooted phone and missing some ATT bloatware, ATT OTA updates always fail for me. They download OK. But when they try to install it fails.

Did anyone else get this update? Do you know what it is?

I will probably just take one of the 4.3 (or 4.4) ROMs from here. But I am curious what it is.

Are you rooted with Stock UCAMH3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] charley000:
Yes I am stock and rooted. But I have deleted a bunch of the ATT Bloatware. My understanding is that updates won't install without some of that stuff. Apparently it checks during the update process. I don't really want to reinstall all that junk just to get the updates.

The S4 Actives had the same problem when we all went to a pre-release firmware... Could download current firmware OTA but failed on install. Only solution was to go to the Samsung rep at best buy to force the update (with their secret software).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rsfinsrq:
Any idea of the size of the update that's being pushed?

update

Im having the same issue. It downloads with not problem (165mb) but when installing it crashes at 30 percent. I prefer the official roms from my experiences with custom roms there are usually buggy and I end up deleting them later. Any help I would be most thankful for.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mmessina:
No OTA in Chicago as of 0830
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
I don't think 165MB is the 4.3 update. It was an update for 4.1.2 months ago. Did you have that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] inconceeeivable:
That's 4.1.2. Ugh, another false alarm thread.

Anyone else think there should be a temporary ban for creating these threads? It's really frustrating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
UCAMH3 is 185.14 meg for ATT...

I'd suspect that 4.3 will be something like 350-400 meg.

Either way. .I'm not holding my breath. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] smithjohnatpa:
Yeah I have tmobile and it was around 700 Meg. And I have att too and no OTA for this yet...

I just did return to stock so I imagine its only the 4.1.2 update... I'll post back for sure when its done.

Edit:

Yup. 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dicksteele:

I was going to swap to a 4.3 ROM but didn't have any luck and ended up back at stock with update to 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] trayluv73:
Yes im still on 4.1. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] youStolemylaptop:
On T-Mobile, the update was about 600-700MB. I'm surprised AT&T hasn't released 4.3 yet since T-Mobile is always the last one o_o unless.. They did and im just stupid.

I've got an unlocked AT&T Note 2 in Canada. I'm pretty sure OTA will never work, however I'm checking Kies and it says 4.1.2 is current. Has anyone else checked Kies? How long will it typically take before I can update vie Kies?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sjuarez1980:
anyone else having issues

It looks like the firmware downloaded and installed but now it is stuck at the ATT logo. the screen dims and loghts up periodically but seems to be stuck. Am I missing something?? How can I revert back if this doesnt work?

Edited: booted into Safe mode, updated everything and then restarted. Now I am able to get in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
I wonder. If you are on the stock leak, will you be able to just do a normal upgrade to this version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
It didn't show an update for me that way when I would check for it. I went back to 4.1.2 and then the update showed up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhonePhan:
Im pretty sure there's no difference between this and the leaked version, besides its "official"

Im running leaked now, looks the same as screenshots of new OTA.

I say we wait for the deodexed/optimized 4.3 ROM comes out.

Glad its out none the less, wonder what roms come of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drnecropolis:
Of course its available in the ATT homeland..

Atlanta..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfkerekes:
I just rolled back from the Stock Leaked version and it showed no update available, and as soon as I was back on 4.1.2 the update started... I think stock leaked will not allow you to update to official stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] t1990le:
Hey guys im having trouble Getting the 4.3 update. Im just outside of Atlanta Ga. Every time I try to update it says I don't have enough memory. Can you tell me what's wrong? I am rooted on the factory 4.1.2 rom. I screen recorded what is going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drnecropolis:
I'm in atlanta also and having no issues.. At 97% right now..

Scratch that..

Started installing, got to 30% and rebooted..

Now it says I can't check for update for another 24 hours..

Good ole att...

Having the same problem :(

Any help would be cool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drnecropolis:
I jumped my date ahead 3 or 4 days and downloading again..

I am wondering if because I had all my bloatware frozen with tibu it made a difference.. So I thawed it all out and tying again..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] akaNeel:
Gonna try that too, so far update is at 51% lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drnecropolis:
Failed again at 30%..

Only thing I can think is unroot and triangle away..

Any ideas?

OK.. Full unroot.. Triangle away.. Verified.. No trips on counter, official status and samsung binaries..

Now to redownload and hope it works..

Same thing..

To hell with it..

Damn I wish I could at least get started but my memory won't let me :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bellifritz:
Go into factory recovery and wipe data and cache and try it again. That's what fixed my wife's note2 after unrooting and trying to take the previous update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] perez6991:
Nothing in Cali sigh...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bellifritz:
I had that problem too. She didn't have a recovery at all. Previous owner made a mess of things. You can use cf-auto-root. When it roots the phone it reinstalls the stock recovery. Then use triangle-away and finally go into supersu and click full unroot and then go into stock recovery and factory reset and wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So I made a mistake and tried to keep root by doing SU survival. With 4.3 I can't get into root, NOR can I even uninstall root. Basically at this point I just want a stock phone. That said, I want to put a clean 4.3 on my system. I assume because of the bootloader thing, I don't think I can simply ODIN a stock 4.1 ROM.

That said - Does anyone know if this works for breaking Knox on the stock ROM??

EDIT - I tried the link and it doesn't work for this version. So now I am stuck with a device that is detected as rooted but has no root :(.

At this point here is what I want. A fully stock device with no root, and the flash counter at 0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drnecropolis:
So, after no sleep last night from a damn toothache.. I noticed under status that the phone still said modified..

Hmmm

So I followed the directions to a T in the return to stock thread, verified that flash counter is 0 and all is official and checked status and its back at Normal

So, I'm downloading the 4.1.2 update now then when I get home from a short day at the office I'll try the 4.3 update again and post results back..

Hopefully it will work and my annoyance will be of some use to others..

Edit:

After all that..

IT FINALLY WORKED!!

Hello all,

There are many questions asked in the development thread of this respective roms(slimkat by xenon92 and cm11.0 by pawitp). I am creating this thread so that all unrelated to bugs topics can be discussed here.

eg: -how to flash the rom

- about not working apps

- about xposed etc etc.

If you have found a bug please report it with logcat in the dev thread :

here for CM11.0and here for Slimkat

Also if you don't know to logcat i will attach the logcat to the dev thread if you mention it here.

I will be adding detailed guide on flashing these ROM to reduce unwanted questions.

Download mirror

cm11.0 build 20131217

cm11.0 build 20131225

credits naufalhadyan

NOTE :

-Some apps will not work in these roms, the reason is that the respective developer has not made it compatible with 4.4.x.

- The rom is not faulty. The dev must compile it using latest sdk(sdk 19) to run on kitkat running phones like ours.

Kudos to pawitp and xenon92 !

In SlimKAT Rom

Out of 4 Gb .... only 1.3 gb is available...

plz tell where is rest of memory...also there is no app 2 sd support...

so plz atleast provide full 4gb...though 8 gb is grand internal memory...

P.S- I flashed slimkat rom on TW 4.2.2 stock... wiped all data and everything...

still got just 1.3gb out of 4 GB
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] codekidX:
Hello, This happens due to the kernel changes between stock and cm.

If you see in stock there is sdcard and extsdcard. In cm it is under emulated directory.

I also had this problem. I use the below solution

I always

-backup sdcard

-format /sdcard

-upgrade to 4.2.2

-flash cm

Wiping data doesn't always mean wiping internal memory. so you need to go to mounts and storage-->format /sdcard and see if it retains.

else,

you need to

-downgrade

-backup sdcard if you want

-format /sdcard

-upgrade

-flash rom.
