Well, it DOES have in-app purchase! I went ahead and checked out again, I realise it can (continually) access only one set account based on Xprivacy 's "global fake account", settings, when I go manual and change uses random settings, it does not access that said account, from further test I realise accessing another players account has to do with the email address, because when I unchecked the other features it does not work (it takes me to a new game instead) I'm not sure how the devs of Xprivacy provide or Crete the "global fake account" but it has something to do with accessing the app, if someone is really determine n decide to modify/rewrite Xprivacy I believe it can be used to access anyone's account based on If u know who actually plays that game, easiest way is to just go on play store see who comment and find some way to get their email address!

Edit: I also emailed them with pictures of the users account and how I accessed it, I didn't mentioned Xprivacy as I was uncertain if I should. Do u think I should?

Btw I still don't get any reply and that was from about 12 hours ago.
[Security Discussion] lithiiumflower:
wow

Awesome it's great to see that there is always someone to test those boundaries, as its people like myself that always take it for granted that, when someone says a game is safe we take it as "Gospel" so to speak, that it actually is.I found this thread a genuinely interesting read and I learned that not everything is as plain as the nose on my face...thanks guys!
[Security Discussion] Dudebowski:
Xprivacy forces your 'phone' to report bunk settings, which xPrivacy also allows you to manually set. So if this is a vulnerability in this particular app, where the app developers are relying on what they previously thought was solid and unmanipulable data from the users' phone.... then there's certainly potential for abuse, and potential for this vulnerability to be fairly widespread. It seems like an honest mistake on the part of the game developers because most situations the data that xprivacy is allowing manipulation to is in most cases static and unique per phone/user. You very well may have opened up pandora's box... Authentication to an app with purchasing power shouldn't rely solely on supposedly static strings within the android system...
[Security Discussion] geminixx:
Well either they don't take it seriously or they don't reach to my mail as yet cuz nobody replied to my email or my forum post, I'm thinking it's cuz I leave out the app I used to get the access, I dunno what else to do so imo just leave it... Or maybe email them one more time...

You are possibly violating CFAA (a felony) but continuing to access data on their servers. I would stop accessing their sevices/using the app, and alert them. If you have issues contacting them, I can act as an intermediary, most companies will respond to me.

They contact me on their forum, and what would they charge me for? I didn't do it deliberately. And I wouldn't give u any information cuz I don't know u anyways.

Thank u for your info mate but if you realise I POSTED ABOUT IT OUT OF CONCERN! I tested to see if it was INDEED what I suspected! If ur a Dev (I'm not but I know because I do alot of beta testing) I'm sure u would no ALOT of people report false positive.

And HOW would I be able to explain in details as to how I was able to access it if it was done my mistake in the first place? That's what ur normally asked to do isn't it? Hmmmm

So me checking to make sure it wasn't isn't any violation as u call it. I'm not abusing anything...
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Yes I am a developer, working in the mobile security field (hence being a moderator of this forum). Yes, it was a violation of CFAA. If the company wants to be an vindictive, they certainly could get you charged for it (unlikely). Your post was (and is) fully welcome here, and exactly what we want to see. You possibly stepped too far the first time you accessed it, you certainly stepped too far the second time. If you do this or not, I personally don't care, I was merely offering you (accurate) advice.

Anyone tell me how to install just the bootloader (IPL/SPL) I have found everything on the Radio, ROM, Extended ROM... but nothing on the bootloader for upgrading it or downgrading.

Currently the only way I know to upgrade or downgrade is to use a packaged ROM that includes everything pre-loaded...

Grey
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] flexchen:
typhoonnbfdecode.pl and SD card backup/restore should allow you manipulate the IPL/SPL only, although I haven't tried it, but I believe it should work.

perl typhoonnbfdecode.pl -r ipl=youriplfile -r spl=yoursplfile -p ???=??? -d bootldr.sdimg

You should do a "r2sd ipl" and "r2sd spl" in MTTY, then dump it, and analysize the dump sd image to see what the parameters should be in the above typhoonnbfdecode.pl cmdline.

BTW: Upgrading IPL/SPL maybe danagerous, since you may not reflash anything if IPL/SPL was destoryed.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryG89:
I recently got a Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon. I wanted to root the device, it was really easy with my old original galaxy so I looked at a few guides which were all using "Root de la Vega" and finally tonight in an attempt to root my device I used the guide at:

phonearena.com/news/How-to-Root-the-Verizon-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3_id48247

I put the phone into download mode and connected it to Odin with the included Samsung USB 3.0 cable. I selected the root de la vega firmware using the AP button and hit Start to begin flashing. Almost immediately after the write starts it fails and on the phone it says:

In the guide it mentions there may be problems using the USB 3.0 cable so I tried it with a USB 2.0 cable with the same results. I tried rebooting the phone to see if it had wiped it. Indeed, it had been wiped and is now going to the screen which says there was a problem updating the firmware and says to use the Software Recovery Assistant to restore the firmware.

I am not sure why this has happened. I feel like I followed the instructions to the letter. After looking at some different guides I am noticing that many have you put the phone into USB debugging mode which the guide I was following doesn't mention. Is this why it has failed. Is this strictly required?

I would like to get this device rooted, but now my number one priority is getting it back into a state where it will be more useful than the paperweight on my desk. I tried downloading Kies 3 which I read can restore the stock firmware on the phone. I was extremely annoyed when I realized that Kies 3 would not recognize my phone at all. It says that the device is not supported by Kies 3 and gives me a link to check support (which just brings me to the Kies download page which clearly states that my phone (Note 3) is supported. I even tried to download the original Kies software which will not even recognize the device enough to tell me it's not supported.

Can anyone point me to a way to restore my phone to factory settings? Can I download the stock firmware and flash it with Odin, will this work if I couldn't get the custom firmware to flash in Odin (possibly because of not setting USB debugging?).

EDIT: Note that, following the guide, I did not check which build number my phone is before running Odin, now I have no idea which it is and what stock firmware to download. Is there anyway to figure out which build my phone was on or which stock firmware I need to download?

EDIT: So it looks like my problem is similar to this problem posted on XDA. I followed the link in that thread to this guide to restore the stock firmware. However, it has three different downloads for different builds, I am not sure which I should download or if there is a way to figure it out. Will any of them work? Can I try them one at a time safely until one of them works. I don't want to mess things up any worse than I already have.. I downloaded the MI9 firmware from that page, but this is just a guess... Anyone have any idea?

Any help will be very much appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Click the link in my sig and d/l the MJE tar, flash it in ODIN (instructions also provided)

Then, you can follow the root, safestrap and cust rom links...

All links, step by steps, everything you need to get you up and running are in the link in my sig :D

Start fresh with the OEM MJE tar, then go from there... Hit me up in that thread for additional help!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryG89:
Thank you very much! I wish I would have found your guide first. I flashed the MJE firmware, was able to successfully root using Kingo (after a few attempts). I also installed safestrap and the open source superuser app. :D

Now I just have to figure out what roms I want, looks like I can take advantage of the multiple rom slots and try a few before installing one into the stock rom slot.

Again, many thanks!

Odin to MJE Question

Hi, my phone is fully stock with MJE on it. To root my phone, would I need to install the MJE tar file and also use King or just the MJE file? So far, I have had no luck using Kingo to root my phone.

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
Just Kingo should do it for you. I did this last week stock on mje. Make sure you have usb debugging enabled or it won't work. I also used Kingo 1.1.6 instead of 1.1.7 and I had no problem at all woth knox or anything. It worked like a charm.

Why 1.1.6 instead of .7?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
I used 1.1.6 because I wasn't sure if their new version was going to automatically add a custom recovery and trip Knox. I was reading the comments on their facebook page (Kingoapp) and saw one that said it will trip knox but a few days later read that it was a option to install a custom recovery. Instead of taking a chance I downloaded the older one and used that. Also in the 1.1.7 comments there is a link to official Samsung drivers if you want to be sure to have the latest ones. There are links for all their versions on the fb page if anyone wants to try that route.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja_Harbinger:
Hey guys,

I was attempting to root my phone so I unlocked the bootloader (using fastboot oem unlock) and flashed CWM recovery (using fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img using version 6.0.4.3). Now, that all worked but when I tried to boot into Android, it got stuck on the boot animation and when I try to mount /data in CWM. I can't do backups because of that problem (namely, it gives me "can't mount backup path") and I don't want to lose all my data. Is there any way of saving this/if I flash a custom ROM, will it erase that data?

Thanks,

Ninja!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarica:
Yes wipe /data /cache is required to flash custom roms.

Try to fastboot boot recovery.img and see if it loads /data, and remember to check your bootloader version (not z20i)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja_Harbinger:
Ok, I tried that using the CWM touch recovery image that I had but it still didn't work. My bootloader version is Z30d.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja_Harbinger:
