[Security Discussion] Jooztk:
Hello everyone,

currently I am finishing up my Computer Science Security masters. I am writing my thesis on Mobile Device Management solutions on Android and I can use your help! My idea was to create a framework to structurally test the quality of the controls, but there has been some research on this subject (Rhee - A study on the security evaluation of a MDM system). My current idea is to create malware that destroys one (or more) control, implied by the MDM solution. What is your view on this subject and is anyone deep into MDMs?

Kind regards!

I installed twrp on my HTC One and when trying to flash a new rom was getting remote not allowed error msg. I read that relocking and unlocking would sometimes fix this problem. I fastboot oem locked and then couldn't do anymore after that because when I try to unlock with my unlock token it says it is unlocking but never works.... so basically now i am stuck with nothing but bootloader!! I have also read that because I am hboot version 1.54.0000 now after recent update there is some new security that prevents unlocking through fastboot?? Please anyone who could help I would really appreciate it! I paid cash for the phone and have no warranty and only had it for about a month... really dont want to buy a new one! Whenever I try to flash a rom now through fastboot I get the error: signature verification failed! message. Thank you to anyone who can help.

Honestly, I don't know, everything looks "funny" (as in weird):

an ATT phone, with GPE firmware on it, while S-On :confused:

if it is a GPE phone, then maybe (yes long shot), "fastboot oem unlock"

otherwise get a new token and try again.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

oh sorry, just saw the link; are those signed firmware packages, if so I guess upgrade should work. and then with a new unlock token, could work.

but isn't dev edition CID: BS_US001 ?

^^ don't think that's a signed one, that looks more like a custom one (probably extracted from an official OTA, but android-info.txt modified), as far as i know, MID is PN0712000 and CID is BS_US001 for it to be an official & signed package.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
Unluckly i bricked my kindle fire hd 8.9.Now when i press the power button,after the yellow kindle fire logo flash,it will stuck on the red screen.And when i connect it to the PC,i got the red screen again.By the way,when the yellow kindle fire logo shows up, the PC could recognize the tablet but in less than 1 second the red screen will come out and the tablet will be disconnected from the PC as if the USB cable is pulled out.(i could hear the sound of disconnecting USB device.)

I also made a fastboot cable but it truned out to be invalid.Did i hard-brick the tablet? Is there any possibility to unbrick it? (I'm not a native speaker so sorry for my poor English)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
These don't use fastboot. Use the regular USB and Has codes thread for 8.9" tablet for instructions to factory reset. Red screen on this is lack of bootloader.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
Once the tablet is connected to the computer it will fall into red screen and become invisible to the computer in 1 second so the computer is not able to recognize the tablet.How can i install the necessary drivers?

BTW,you mentioned the instructions to factory reset,could you give me the link of the thread?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I would suggest using a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD in your case since you never installed the fastboot driver previously. Makes things a lot simpler since you won't need to install drivers, only the fastboot command. Should be able to install it from the Ubuntu software center, just search for fastboot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
I have opensuse installed in my PC but that doesn't work either. Connect the tablet with the computer and the red screen shows up then the connection breaks and the tablet become invisible to the PC,just the same situation as it is in windows.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yes but here's the thing, it's supposed to do that. You basically run in a terminal "fastboot -i 0x1945 getvar product" and after it says waiting for device you plug your kindle in while it's off. That way once its detected for a brief moment it sends the command and goes into full fledged fastboot. Never had an issue with it in Linux before, then again I have never red screened my kindle and mine's a 7" model so a fastboot cable would have worked on mine.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
Thank you for you reply.I'd like to know if I could use this method in opensuse?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Should be able to as long as the kernel supports the device, anything modern should. I had native drivers in 10.04 of Ubuntu so it's safe to bet you have the kernel drivers. If you can't get it to work in suse, just try a live distro like I said, though I don't think there's a need to, but I have never tried suse before, I stick to Debian based distros.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
I tried thay in suse but it didn't work.I think when the yellow kindle fire logo shows up the tablet is in fastboot mode but I'm just wondering why the tablet can't stay in fastboot after the screen truned into red.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Because it's not supposed to... The 8.9" models don't work with a fastboot cable so instead they made it so it will briefly appear as a fastboot device when the boot loader initializes, and if a command gets passed to it while its briefly like this it gets told to go into full on fastboot mode. That red screen you're seeing is not it trying to go into fastboot, its just a messed up bootloader, but it should still be intact enough to reflash the bootloader to fix this. Weird to suggest this at this point but maybe try using an Ubuntu live CD and see what happens... I don't know why suse wouldn't work but maybe give it a shot.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
So your suggestion would be

step1，Download a Ubuntu live CD image file，write the image into a usb disk，and reboot into the live CD.

step2，Open a terminal，input the fastboot command，then connect the tablet to the PC when the terminal says"waiting for device"

step3，Then the tablet should stay in fastboot and it is now possible to fix the bootloader and system with fastboot command.

Did I understand that correctly？
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z1326:
And since my tablet is dead now， is it possible to install the fastboot driver in windows without the tablet？
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It would be very difficult' unless you can get the driver into the driver cache but I haven't looked up how to do that, also on Ubuntu you will have to install the fastboot command, it should be in the Ubuntu software center, I'd give u the terminal command but I don't know the package name offhand.

Hey guys,

so my HTC One was working perfectly this morning (S-off, GPE Rom), but it suddenly decided to die (used it, 20 minutes later it would not wake up). Tried Power + Vol down/up, didn't help. Then i connected it to my PC and it was recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD. I know this usually means it is hard bricked, but i couldn't find many threads about and was just wondering, if somebody found a solution for this.

P.S. If not, it's not that bad for me. My contract with Vodafone allows me get a new phone within 24 hours. But if I could fix it myself, I wouldn't lose all of my data.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bestrau:
Hi everybody,

I’m at a point where I need to get some help…

My story:

I hard bricked my P500 one year ago … I had CM7 on it, and I installed CM10, but had no network,

so I upgraded the baseband, unfortunately it froze in the middle of the upgrade, I took the battery out, and it was the end …

BOUM … No fast boot, no emergency mode anymore … nothing … dead … Impossible to switch it on …

I bought a new one, which is working under CM7. No problem.

(So if it helps to fix the old hard bricked one I have a working P500 under CM7)

I just got the idea to fix the dead one! Because it’s fun, but I’m stuck and need some help.

JTAG reset:

Since it was hard bricked, the only possibility was a JTag reset. I found a nice guy doing it close to my place and it worked!

The phone has been recognized without any problem, the full dump worked without any mistakes, and finally the bootloader has been restored with a RiffBox.

(See attached picture) The phone can now reach the emergency mode again.

I also tried to flash CWM, LGMDP seems to have installed it, I got a “Download complete” message,

but I cant access the recovery mode. Vol Down +Home + Power On just brings me back to the yellow emergency screen.

I of course checked everywhere online … I have seen sometimes the same errors as mine but no solutions ….

Do, one of you, have a solution? Or know the errors I’m encountering?

Or do you have another way tp get out of the emergency mode?

Thank you for reading and helping me in any way …

Had to do a factory reset meaning I lost everything. Couldn't wipe the cache though as it said "error" each time I tried. Soooo annoyed right now.

Updated yesterday & the same experience with a number of apps appearing not installed.

After the install I had loads of App crashes, so I rebooted again & it stabilised.

All you have to do is re-install the "phantom" apps from Play Store or backup. All the app data and settings will have been retained. You may have to move some apps from SD to internal memory & then back again to get the icon reset from the "SD" icon (for stuff already in internal memory the icon will reset on a reboot)

Nothing to panic about, just a bit of a pain - took me an hour or so total. New ROM seems to be a bit quicker than the old one.
