Epic Failure

Well I took the plunge and decided to odin back to clean MJE. I wiped data after the odin successfully finished. Kingo would not find my phone. So I used the latest VROOT to root. It went successfully. So I downloaded SuperSU and let it install and update... and I let it remove the chinese supersu. Rebooted. Confirmed Root. Enabled survivability. Took the OTA. FAILED. ??????... Sigh lol WTF?

Rebooted.. Disabled the SuperSU but left survivability on. Uninstalled the last app that the vroot had seemed to installed. Could not figure out what it was as its name was in chinese. Took OTA again and it seems to be processing this time. Lets pray I didn't lose root.

Its rebooting now and still says custom. New verizon screen... Nice.. Mostly red now.

If I lost root I'll be selling my note 3 for a HTC ONE M8. lol.

.......Android is upgrading...... lol

Confirmed on 4.4.2 NC4.

Confirming root....SUCCESS!!

Whew..

Thanks XDA

Hopefully my meanderings will help some that cannot upgrade.

I had my magazine frozen so I don't think it matters. Biggest thing I think matter is what tool you've rooted with and if you've edited the build.prop or anything with wanam.

The SD card is not an issue, it's how KitKat works with the SD card.(Build in as it were)

How's progress on this beans? Is it proving to be a bastard of a chore?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] hsbadr:
I think [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] is concerned with finding "a way to be able to revert to the old kernel with the insecure modules". Otherwise, rooting NC4 is as easy as rooting NC2 by keeping MJE root––but we'll lose the NC2 bootloader gifts. I've already made a rooted NC4 ROM, but it seems that it doesn't work with NC2 firmware and I don't want to lose the unique things about the leaked NC2 bootloader (e.g., the possibility to use "kexec" to skip the bootloader and directly load a custom kernel).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bodhisattvah:
Would you be willing to share that rooted version of NC4? I took the OTA and lost root. SuperSU failed to keep root for me, so I'm stuck on NC4 unrooted.

Or would your rooted version only work as an upgrade to NC2? TIA

[General Questions and Answers] Banana Phone:
Hello,

My S3 mini was stolen and the thief apparently removed the battery or sim as soon as it was stolen. So it came into mind, which is more secure really. iOS or Android. Apparently, for an Android phpne whether the battery is removale or not, the thief can simply remove the SIM or just shut it down without even knowing the screen pass lock. Furthermore, if he does the power plus volume down combination, he can easily reset the phone to its factory defaults and even then, my photos - main storage and SD card - will be compromised. So yea, the phone can easily be cut from the internet so the wipe amd locate fucntions would be useless.

However on my iPad, I tried connecting it to a new computer, the photos were not accessible. I even installed iTunes, still the photos were not there. It had to be accessed from an iTunes that has previously backed it up. Traditional methods like wiping and locking and tracking are rednered useless because the thief can easily remove the SIM or simply shut it down without knowing the passlock.

So yea, does that make iOS more safe? Do thieves have access to programs that can bypass the lock screen for iOS or Android. Do they have access to programs that can factory reset iOS without an iTunes with a previous backup?

Am I missing anything? Can the user thighten the securty more by himself other than being careful and copying the photos reguraly. Also I am assuming that the USB debugging is turned off for Android by default.

PS: I do know that There are apps made to combat theft but yea, removing the battery, shutting it down or removing the SIM totally kills all those solutions.
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
We all know there are apps, but every night I sleep I think of this feature. But I'm not a kernel dev so I don't know how to make it.

Hopefully some kernel dev stumbles across this and can implement it.

There must be a pin lock when you factory reset your device and a toggle which unlocks the device pin for a certain amount of mins then locks so that the recovery wipe isn't reachable until one unlocks it.

But yeah, till now I think apple devices are more secure in terms of when theft applies.
[General Questions and Answers] keen36:
i have an option to encrypt the entire phone in the security menu. i do not know if that is a custom rom or an android thing, but i suspect it is the latter.

i do not use that option, though, it makes data recovery more difficult should something go wrong. still, it is there, and if you guys are so security conscious, why not just encrypt the data?
[General Questions and Answers] hannahger:
In this era, Mobile Security is the top priority for any smartphone user. Mobile Security continues to up for the security. Nowadays it's more vital cause we store sensitive data on mobile phones. Ios is more secure than android.

Some features of IOS why you choose IOS:

App marketplace security: Apple closely inspects every app on its app store, which might reduce the number of apps available, but helps to minimize malware-riddled apps.

Device manufacturers: iPhone's integrated design makes security vulnerabilities less frequent and harder to find.

Updates to patch vulnerabilities: Apple updates are more accessible to control across devices, promising consistent security.
[Networking] greyt:
Over the last year I have tried many times to set up my Windows Mobile devices to connect over VPN and then use RDP to manage my clients' sites. To date I have never managed to get it to work. My config is as follows :-

Within Start \ Settings \Connections \ Advanced \ Select Networks

Programs that automatically connect to the Internet use MY ISP

Programs that automatically connect to a private network "My Work Network"

a VPN is configured under "My work network" and the device can connect to this and using vxutil I can ping the server I wish to RDP to - 172.17.3.3

Supposedly the important bit is to add the exception under "Work URL exceptions", I have added 172.17.3.3 in here.

Once the VPN is established if I enter 172.17.3.3 within IE or Terminal Services CLient the VPN connection is still dropped.

If I enter this IP address without connecting the VPN first then the device will not connect the VPN automatically.

If I enter a non qualified domain name such as ids-vs then the VPN is connected but the name is never resolved.

Can anyone shed any light on this, if I could use a local lmhosts file on the device as with XP then I may be able to work around the above. It appears to me though as though the exceptions list is never processed. I did a hard reset last night just in case, but this has made no difference.

I cannot believe that the above can be so complex.

I am using a HTC Tytn and using t-Mobile in the UK.

Any help greatly appreciated since it is driving me totally mad!
[Networking] masr1979:
I would love to figure that out.

I was trying to connect to my pc at home like this and suffered from all the same symptoms your having. In the end I gave up, mainly 'cause someone told me that I needed another type of data plan to have vpn (at the time I had the $29.99USD plan) in other words it might be your plan, or something to do with the proxies or something, I hope someone would find out what you need to do in order to get this to work.
[Networking] greyt:
It's strange, looking around the web there are loads of people that struggle with the setup, but most seem happy once they are told to add the server name or IP address in the exceptions list.

I have ruled out the data plan since I can establish the VPN connection and can see it authenticate on the other end, as well as being able to ping the server on the work network from the phone.

I have just opened a support call with Microsoft as well, but I am not holding out much hope since I think they will point me at HTC. Assuming HTC ever responded they will just point me back at Microsoft!
[Networking] masr1979:
Well it would be cool if they could help you, I tried everything myself and zilch. I could also establish a connection but as soon as I would try to access a file on my pc it would disconnect. I would try to help you out experimenting on my side again, but I changed my router to a cheap piece of $h.. and now I can't access my pc via vpn..... I really need to get a decent router :(

This may sound stupid, but I could swear someone told me something about the speed of the connection. If the connection speed is too low then DNS would fail, although that wouldn't explain why we are able to establish a connection, but not access anything else.
[Networking] greyt:
OK, I have made quite a bit of progress :-

1) I was using a cab file to configure T Mobile settings on the phone. This was somehow configuring the exceptions list to be ignored. Hard resetting the phone, installing this CAB the problem remained. Hard Resetting the phone and setting up GPRS manually - everything worked.

2) There is a fault with Windows CE 5 routing over VPN - the subnet information is ignored. Hence for example, if your GPRS provider give you a NAT 10.x.x.x ip address and your corporate network uses 10.x.x.x then you can never route to your corporate network.
[Networking] masr1979:
And what cab file is that? do you know if it's on the extended roms for the t-mo roms? Glad to see your making progress, keep it up.
[Networking] greyt:
It was a Cab file for the Tmobile settings. It either came from these forums or over at modaco, can't remember which.
[Networking] Pharmer:
VPN

I was able to successfully use the Movian VPN to connect to my work using my XDA2.Worked fine for 2 years. Apologies, but I can't help with the settings and my work migrated to an M-notes server so I was able to connect without a VPN.

My co-worker's daughter has a Visual Land Prestige 10.

It's rebooting after about 2 minutes of use.

She brought it to me so I can do a factory reset on it, which consists of the following steps:

1 Hold Volume + or - down while holding down the power button for about 15 seconds.

2 Use volume + key to scroll down to select factory reset

3 Follow remaining prompts

Problem is, when I'm at the maintenance screen where you do steps 1-3, the volume + key is inoperative. It registers a "press" of the key, but does not scroll up or down.

I can't find any information about this behavior so I'm asking for any suggestions.

What are your bootloader details? To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.

With phone powered on

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.

With phone powered off

Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
