[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouch1976:
Here's a little background to my dilemma.

I bought a used Note 3 running 4.3 / MJE. It has never been rooted as far as I can tell. It has a clean ESN according to Swappa. I never activated it, never connected it to a Wifi network, and never put my sim in it. It was factory reset and the first thing I wanted to do was root it.

So, I downloaded Kingo 1.1.6 from the first link that Google provided (I don't know if I can reference the site) and I ran the program. Root was successful! I then installed SafeStrap, and finally flashed SuperSU from recovery. Everything looked great, but...next to SuperSU in my app drawer was an app that I never saw before. It was a green icon with what looked like two white letter P's in it. Stupidly, I clicked on the app and it opened some sort of Chinese thing. I immediately backed out of the app and uninstalled it. I then factory reset the device. Root and recovery are maintained. And now there is no sign of the mysterious app. But I'm still freaked out about it. Was it some Chinese spyware? Keylogger? Or something more innocent? Do you think it's completely gone or is it possible that it has hidden files somewhere on the device?

I've uninstalled Kingo from my PC and ran several scans of the computer which have turned up nothing unusual. But I still haven't connected the phone to any Wifi or cell networks nor have I entered any personal information on the device. I'm itching to use the device, but I'm nervous about any malware on it.

So, does anyone have any thoughts on the safety of the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronjwright:
I would say that as long as you have factory reset the phone and the app didn't somehow install itself in the /system partition, your phone should be okay, since a factory reset effectively wipes away everything in /data and /cache. But I wouldn't trust Kingo, because many users in the past have reported that it presumably installs spy software on your phone (which collects IMEIs and other sensitive data and sends them unencrypted to China), and it is very likely that the app that you have described here is spy software. (So far, no one has reported anything suspicious in the /system partition, at least according to the thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518829.) I noticed you have taken precautions by not connecting the phone to the Internet, so you are safe.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouch1976:
Yeah. I see a ton of debates about the integrity of Kingo...I know that I'll never use it again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papaavi:
You should be concerned about any mysterious PP....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmike6453:
I also agree that you should ensure that you wipe all partitions, and SD card to be safe from Safestrap. Go in there and do an Advanced Wipe, checkmarking:

/data

/cache

/system

dalvik-cache

internal sd card

I'd even go a step further and Odin it just to make sure its squeaky clean.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomsWell:
It is a app that is normally removed in the final moments of the kingo root session. its happened a few times when I used kingo. Disable data on your note and make sure your pc firewall is strict with kingo so u can keep your data private.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGreg:
I trust kingo, from what i understand the PP app is a exploit through the camera that uses the chinese code to gain root access

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hezirance:
I had my Htc One M8 imported from Hong Kong and I was wondering whether or not the process of rooting it would be the same as the international version. Because it has different hardware, I fear that rooting my phone as if it were an international model would brick it. Question(s): How do I root my phone? Is it any different from rooting an M8 clocked at 2.3 ghz? Is my model "rootable"? :confused:

Hey!

I am wondering if there is a possibility to reset the hangouts default Smileys in the recent use tab. Using a new smiley simply adds it on top of the list, but a often used smiley doesn't jump to the top again, like for example in WhatsApp... Is there any way to reset those recent used to get the often used to the top again?

Thanks in advance,

Hey Faria! Just wanted to tell you that I have successfully downgraded, unlocked and upgraded 4 brand new Cingular's (including my replacement last night after my toilet floating experiment!) in the last month or so following your procedure.

Thankfully these weren't G4's!

I DO however flash button's 1.05 twice cause I noticed that the first time it reboots it says it has a 2.25 GSM and if I don't see the IPL, SPL and GSM's change I have suspicions that it didn't "take"

Running the T-Mobile 2.26 with "customizations" and it's awesome!

Thanks again dude!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GatorRuss:
First my phone's details:

Rooted

Model: Samsung-SGH-I337 (AT&T)

Android Version: 4.2.2

Build: JDQ39.I337UCUAAMDL

Here's the situation...

I'm an IT guy (low on totem) and we're in the Pilot phase for Android using MobileIron. I have a rooted AT&T 32GB S4 and I'm trying to fool MobileIron into believing my phone is compliant. I have done lots of reading on this subject, and nothing has helped, to this point. I have access to the MobileIron server, so I can register, and de-register, my device as often as I want. I plan on reporting this back to the people who get paid more than I do to let them know how secure this is.

Here's what I've tried:

1. I have installed Xposed Framework, and installed RootCloak, but it has zero effect on MobileIron. I couldn't even get to the point in MobileIron setup where I could download our 'secure apps'. (I am aware that RootCloak moved to Cydia, but I read it wasn't as good)

2. I tried using 'Hide My Root' from Play, and that also had zero effect on MobileIron; I got no further than I did with RootCloak.

3. I tried using 'Hide Rooting Lite' from Play, and I was able to download our 'secure apps', and MI required that I create a password/pattern to unlock my phone. In my opinion, this got past the first level of authentication that MI requires, which is a step in the right direction. I have recently learned that MI also scans your list of installed APPs for any APP that requires root.

Do any of you think that changing the names of some of my apps (Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, etc.) would help fool MobileIron? What about trying to DualBoot ROMS? If the secondary ROM that I setup is not rooted, and I have MI installed on it, would it be able to detect root from my primary ROM?

Any help, or ideas that I have not thought of yet, that you geniuses can provide would be greatly appreciated!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Broadscope:
MobileIron is kicking my ass. I have a Nexus 5 that's never been rooted and I can't get MI to install on this device. Is it because the bootloader is unlocked? I'm in IT as well, and our MobileIron administrators have NO IDEA what to do.

simples.. se voce nunca trocou de kernel ou nunca acessou o site da sony pra receber o codigo de deslbloqueio de BL, então provavelmente não esta desbloqueado. ou procure nos seus documentos alguma pasta TA backup/restore..

Quem não se importaria de ter aplicações extras, bloatwares, pode instalar um firmware de versão anterior (10.4.1.B.0.101) de acordo com a sua operadora e atualizar pelo PCC. Caso contrário, você deve esperar até que o firmware genérico tenha atualização. No entanto, você também pode instalar um firmware genérico (relacionado a C6503) de outra região da versão anterior que tenha a nova atualização disponível.

Who wouldn't mind having extras applications, bloatwares, can install a previous version firmware (10.4.1.B.0.101) according your carrier and update with PCC.

Since the OTA Kitkat (4.4.2) update of my stock Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545), when I use the voice-to-text microphone button (Google voice typing) on the stock Samsung keyboard, it does not pause music played by Play Music or Pandora as it used to. I've been through troubleshooting with Samsung and VZW Support, including:

- Clearing cache for S Voice, Google Voice, Samsung Keyboard

- Testing in Safe Mode

- Performing a hard reset of the device

The music pauses for half a second and resumes with the mic active... not cool when listening to music and want to use voice to answer a text message. :(

VZW last said they want to discuss replacing the phone, but before I go down that rabbit hole, does anyone have any ideas on what to check or change to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sweeds:
The same thing happened to me. This used to work fine. My guess is it's software related. Replacing the entire phone seems like overkill.

Make sure you have all the Samsung drivers install on your computer. to get in download mod you would hole the power button, home button and the volume down button to enter download mode.

[General Topics] tomri:
Dear mobile device manufacturer,

Today mobile devices like tablets and mobile phones are primarily marketed as consumer devices and the main purpose is to sell content, mobile services, and to display ads. Professional users, especially IT professionals, have different requirements which are are not fulfilled by most of these devices today.

Here are the most important requirements for mobile devices:

- The user must have full control over his data. This means two things: a) The user must be able to read and write all data stored on the device. b) The user must be able to prevent data theft by applications running on the device, either by limiting app access to data, or by limiting app access to the Internet.

- The data on the device must be accessible from another computer through open protocols and interfaces and without sending potentially sensitive data over the Internet (think: USB mass storage). The user must not be forced to use a vendor-proprietary software or shop to access the data on the device.

- The user must be able to create a full backup of all data stored on the device. It must be possible to create such a backup easily, with as little manually intervention as possible. The user must be given the choice to create the backup in the cloud or on a local computer.

- It must be possible to either restore the device backup as a whole or to restore data individually per app. Reason: when an app is updated, it may turn out that the new version is broken, slow, or otherwise not fit for the purpose. If the new app version converted the data to a new format, not only the app must be rolled back, but also the old data must be restored from a backup.

- It must be possible to roll back apps after an update to a previous version. Ideally this shall be made possible by allowing the user to archive app executables outside the mobile device.

- The user must be able to revert to a previous OS version if the new version turns out to have problems. It must be possible to download copies of the OS software in a form the user can install later, at his own discretion, offline, and without intervention from the device vendor.

- The vendor must specify for how long he intends to provide security updates for the device.

- The user must be able to uninstall all applications pre-installed on the device.

These fundamental and simple requirements have been fulfilled by almost any computer system in the past 30 years. Yet there is not a single mobile device that only comes close to fulfilling them today. This is a real shame. We cannot accept that the industry takes control of our data and the devices we paid for.

--->

This list is is probably incomplete. Feel free to add to it.

Charges fine on any stock based ROMs, but when I flash a KitKat ROM, it will only charge if I put it in recovery mode. The phone will say it is charging(charging animation on battery icon) but it doesn't. Tried USB charging and 3 different wall chargers and 2 cables.

This has happened on PACman and Houston's ParanoidAndroid 4.3+geeb. Wiped everything before flashing, did everything their instructions told me to.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I've read something about a 1% battery driver and that flashing a kernel might help but I am pretty stupid with kernels. Don't know which would work for these ROMs.

EDIT - Charges fine with Cyanogenmod. That's weird. Oh well, I'll just use this one instead.
