Bash bug

Hello, I just read this article on The Verge: http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/24/6...odays-bash-bug-could-be-breaking-security-for

What could be the implications for Android users?

For example, my phone appears to be vulnerable, according to the test from the article.

Hope this one transcends the conspiracy level as I've not done any background research. Just wanted to share as it seems legitimate. Somewhat older but I guess still valid. Shouldn't all developers move to Replicant or at least close the backdoor mentioned in this article?

tl;dr- I ran something as root that smells of malware, how do I recover from this? (Good news is that only my system and recovery were unlocked, not the other firmware parts.)

Hi jcase,

Could you please tell me if questions about unlocking bootloader are appropriate ?

With my SAMSUNG Galaxy A5 2016 smartphone it's easy to unlock bootloader. I have to click on the appropriate choice in the developper options menu. And you can do that without rooting your device.

With others devices it seems to be less easy. My question in this case is : do we have to root the device to unlock bootloader ?

I hope this question is appropriate in this forum and if not, feel free to clear my post.

Thanks.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Yes they are appropriate, but the answer depends on the device, and firmware

Give it's clearly a fingerprinting issue... can I ask my GSFID questions here?

I have managed to change my supposedly permanent GSF ID (Google services framework ID) without needing to be rooted, specifically so that my phone is less vulnerable to malicious fingerprinting.

Given I realize almost nobody knows how to change the GSF-ID (it took me hours to figure it out but only minutes to perform), I can't really ask this in a general forum (as it's a deep-down security question for people who actually know how Android works and how apps work inside of Android with respect to tracking the user).

Specifically what I don't know is why this unique ID (which uniquely identifies your phone!) isn't supposed to be changed, nor do I know what apps are doing with it - but I do know that it's super freaking important to Android (I can give gory details what happens if/when you change it for example).

It seems only "some" apps (those linked with GSF API's perhaps?) use this supposedly permanent personal tracking ID to watch your activities; but maybe they all do for all I know (I'm not a developer).

I'd like to ask for MORE INFORMATION about how the GSF ID (and perhaps the Android ID too) are used by Android & by apps, but there's almost nothing out there on the Internet about them (ask me how I know this).

Give it's clearly a fingerprinting issue... can I ask my GSF_ID questions here?
[Security Discussion] GalaxyA325G:
I'm confused as I haven't seen an answer and I gave the query above almost a month, so I posted the question here, hoping it will both edify others in security issues (fingerprinting specifically) and help me get the answers.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegojimbo:
Hello,

First I apologize for opening a new thread instead of posting in the CM11 thread, but till now I don't have write privileges there.

I recently unlocked and permrooted my Desire HD then installed Mustaavalkosta's CM11, but as a newbie, I have some issues I require assistance with. To note that I did an extensive reading before I did any rooting and installing a new rom.

1- I find myself not hearing anything during calls. It's sort of like my internal speaker got muted somehow after installing CM11. I tried multiple apps to no avail. I read somewhere that if u fail to flash the boot.img in the rom u might get this issue, but thing is I did flash the boot.img after I installed the rom and the recovery and wiped the cache. I can hear the calls with the external speaker turned on and with the headphone, so I think it's not a hardware issue but a software one. Any fix to this?

2- After each restart, the UI somehow resets itself. I mean many of the settings and widgets I use either get reset or vanish like the sleep option in seetings for example (I put the screen to turn off after a 1 min and it resets to 15 sec after each reboot which is annoying as hell). Also, many apps like Dolphin and GoSMSPro shortcuts vanish from the home screen after each reboot, while whatsapp for example doesn't. I'm not able to figure why some app shortcuts vanish while others don't.

3- I tried to use ART instead of dalvik, but yet again after each reboot, dalvik is back. So effectively, I can't benefit from ART.

4- other minor bugs which I will not mention for now till I solve the 3 main ones.

If someone can provide some assistance (mainly for the first issue which is the major one), I will be very grateful. It's becoming increasingly annoying and embarrassing to turn the speaker on every time I receive a call, bc most of the times I am in a room with other individuals or in a meeting, and I am forced to have them hear the conversations bc not always I can excuse myself.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegojimbo:
No one has any input on this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegojimbo:
After wiping data, dalvik cache, android secure, etc... and reinstalling the stock rooted 2.3.5 Rom, I still had the same internal speaker issue on calls. The heaphone icon was on even though there were no headphones plugged. I installed 2 widgets (togggleheadset 2 and headphone fix) and the issue was fixed. To note I had this problem back on my unrooted stock Desire HD before I rooted it and upgraded to CM11 BR3 thinking the new rom will fix this problem.

So after I made the calls work on Gingerbread stock rooted rom, I did a clean wipe once more and installed CM11 BR4. The problem reemerged. And the 2 widgets couldn't be redownloaded bc they are not compatible with kitkat. The other issues mentioned in the OP disappeared, only the incall volume issue remained.

I need to mention that many Desire HD owners have had this problem on their Froyo and Gingerbread stock builds, and usually the 2 widgets I mentioned above helped fix the issue. On 4.4.2, it seems some android users have complained of in-speaker audio volume being very low, so maybe this worsens the issue I had instead of fixing it.

I'm leaning to think that it's mostly a software/code issue, otherwise why would the widgets fix the problem on an earlier version if it's hardware related? hence, there could be a workaround for it on Kitkat if someone knowledgeable cares to look at it. Maybe the code turns off the internal speaker or lowers the volume so much it becomes unhearable. The headphone and external speaker are just fine, I can hear the other person in the call without any problem. It's when I rely on the internal speaker that I hear nothing.

Hope someone can offer some assistance here.

"Unfortunately, Application Installer has stopped" upon first boot. Trying a second install.

EDIT: second try worked, but I did it without the Cybertronics kernel. Can't say for certain that was the culprit, but it's something to look at.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] sh0cksquatch:
Are you sure you wiped everything in TWRP? I re installed it on my using Cybertronics Kernel and everything goes fine. Anyways, I have gotten a few pm's about giving options for choosing what to install in Aroma installer like on GigaWatts 2.0 so i'll talk with ik4evr2 and see if we can add that. It will most likely take a bit but in the mean time i'll see about the Application installer crash.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
After fiddling a bunch, what I discovered was that when you say "wipe everything" you do in fact mean go into the Advanced Options in TWRP and make sure to select /system as well as /data and /cache.

EDIT: However, once I got it to boot with the Cybertronics kernel, WiFi refused to turn on. Quick dirty reflash to put the stock kernel on and bang, WiFi works again. Didn't have any of the above problems with stock.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Android Development] Shaheer:
When flashing Cybertronics Kernel, sh0cksquatch did mention (when we were working) that wi-fi may take a min or two to turn on first time. Try toggling the switch in the first time setup. If not it should work after you skip through the setup.

Only question: is there anyway to delete My Magazine? I've no use for it and would rather have the storage/ram it takes up.

Hello Everyone!

First, we'd like to thank everyone for trying our rom! We really appreciate all the like and thanks we got for it. However, there are far better roms out there now for this device as we have seen. Especially the Gigawatts one! :o Since, sh0cksquatch has quit from the team due to the fact that he doesn't have time for it and it's just me now I think it would be best now for me to just stop as i'm not sure I could make the rom any better than it currently is now. This was just a fun project for me in the beginning as I wanted people to have a clean rom for this device. I'm glad that other people are joining that to contribute to that idea. It was fun and exciting making this rom. Please don't take this as a joke. ;) Once again thanks everyone!

NOTE: The links for my rom will still be up for future use. BUT, I encourage everyone to try the Gigawatts ROM. It's far better than mine!

Dear Dev,

This is an SOS from the Tab S 10.5 Forum. We have root and recovery but no roms so far :'(

[General Questions and Answers] Cepillado:
You should calm down a little bit, if you really want to root your phone you should search in the forums for a good tutorial, and make sure you do everything as it shows. And are you sure that you need to root your phone? you should really know why do you want to root your phone before rooting it.
[General Questions and Answers] Kobro:
Rooting is totally unnecessary, dont sweat it. there is some things you can only do with root, but if you are unsure if you should or not, and dont have a clear reason of why to root, then dont bother. its a risky proccess, and for someone who probably is not a power user, there is no real reason.

and your internet data, (and calls and texts) are the same even if you do root, you will not have any changes, since that is on the sim card, not the phone itself, so even if you root, nothing will happen to your gb.

Press Thanks if i helped!

Like all other's reply, I would also suggest you to keep calm and stay happy. :)

And about rooting your phone, Rooting isnt neccessary for you as you are handing it to your children the most, so just keep your phone as it is.

Good luck with your life. And again keep SMILING :)

I have eWallet on my XDA. I created lots of cards, etc, on it, but the problem is everytime I sync with my PC the cards gets deleted from my PC (presumably because on eWallet on my PC i have no cards) - it seems the sync use the PC as the "master" and I'd like it the other way round, so that it keeps what's on my XDA and overwrites the PC version (in actual fact I don't even WANT eWallet on my PC, but I think if I uninstall it it'll also uninstall from my XDA, which I don't want)

Any ideas?
