[Q] Perhaps A New Android Virus Discovered? Anyone Else Seen "Plåÿ Störé One Two"?

No idea how it could have installed itself on my phone (the last app I installed was WO Mic, from the Google Play Store. I have this on another phone but it didn't get this virus from it). Just woke up today, and found it on here. It seems to have replaced the actual legit Google Play Store. I looked in the /system/app directory, the app is called Phonesky.apk. I looked this up online, one other person has/had my problem. He said even the Verify and Install option is infected, showing "Verify and Install one two three", but I can't confirm if that is on my phone because my phone never had Verify and Install to begin with, and even when I select to install an APK it does not appear.

Besides factory reset, is there anything I can do? I will try to put some sort of antivirus on the phone, but the other guy I saw who had this problem said his Norton Mobile Security didn't pick anything up.

I will soon be uploading both the Phonesky.apk as well as the Phonesky.odex file, just in case any of you devs want to tear down the package and look at it or analyze it or whatever. In the meantime, here's some pictures I took of it. Please refer to attachments to see them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Here is the download link for Phonesky.apk:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=10545304012778252420

And for Phonesky.odex:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=82284699703301985381

I probably don't have to say this, but just as a warning, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, I'D SUGGEST THAT YOU DO NOT INSTALL ANY OF THESE FILES ON YOUR PHONE SINCE IT PROBABLY WILL INFECT YOUR PHONE IF YOU DO IT.

Also, I've noticed that this virus imitates Google Talk as well. No, not Hangouts, the old Google Talk. I did not have Talk installed on that phone before this virus came around. I don't see a Talk-like app in the app drawer, however I do get notifications of messages in the notification bar. The messages it notifies me for are actually legitimate messages I've received. I'm having a Hangouts conversation on my primary phone, and every time I get an incoming message from my friend, it shows up on the infected phone as well. When I try to actually press the Talk notification to see if it opens a fake Talk app or anything, it doesn't actually open anything.

EDIT 2: I uploaded a picture of fake Gtalk. Also, Zoner Antivirus did not detect anything wrong, even though I saw that it scanned over something called "Google Play Store one two three".
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
It's been a while, but I just wanted to say that factory reset did get rid of it for me. Others have said that the system language switched to Deutsch, and they switched it back to English and everything was fine. However for me, my phone remained in English the whole time. It also seems weird that this only happened on phones running Gingerbread...
[Samsung Gear Live] atomkinder:
Does anyone know how to make the pedometer work?

Days go by without me taking a single step, suddenly I'll manage 600 or so in a morning and then nothing for a few more days. What is it I'm doing or not doing which is stopping it working?
[Samsung Gear Live] AstroDigital:
There was another thread, I had problems myself for awhile then it started working again.

Not sure what was going wrong but it works for me now, maybe a rogue app?
[Samsung Gear Live] atomkinder:
I've done a factory reset and it seems to be working now. It has the same apps on as before. I'll see if it happens again.
[Samsung Gear Live] mrja22:
My pedometer just stopped working.

Factory reset the watch, repaired etc. and still nothing. Just shows 0.

Anyone having this issue? trying to work out if it is a physical issue with the watch, or software.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mikelets456:
Hello. I need your help. I have the LG E980 with 4.4.2. I was trying to set this up as a spare phone but for some reason could not get an email program to work with my companies "Notes Traveler" program. I'm able to achieve syncing with my S4 active though. I oulled the email APK off of the S4 active and that resolved the problem temporarily. I read up and found out that the CM11 ROM would resolve this issue. Anyway, I installed a recovery program and did a nanodroid back up only to realize that my EXT_SD card was not being recognized. Si I did a factory reset now I get a boot error and can only get to the recovery program.

It will not recognize my external SD card and I'm afraid that possibly I corrupted the boot image or recovery? Any suggestions how to get out of this boot? Is there a way I can drag a Update.Zip to the internal SD card and it will completely over write boot and all files?
[LG Optimus G Pro] spirallingspiral:
This Fix solved my boot only to recovery bug, but if your cwm is not reading your external, you could try sideloading it through adb if your cwm version has that. Copy the fix to your adb folder, connect your phone to pc, select install zip through sideload in the recovery, open adb, type adb sideload fix.zip or if nothing works just use lgflashtool and kdz back to stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mikelets456:
Thanks for your reply. I'm not good at all with ADB would you mind telling me exactly what to type (spacing, etc)? I've tried ADB before and must have been entering the wrong sequence or spacing. On my S4 I simply used ODIN and loaded a Deodexed version.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spirallingspiral:
Click install zip by sideload on cwm, copy the zip i linked before to the your adb folder,. Open Adb, and type "adb devices" to see if your device is detected. If it isnt. click here and download the naked drivers. If your device is detected, type "adb sideload filename.zip" . Just copy the filename and paste it after "adb sideload" in the command prompt, which is "adb sideload Zero_Misc_fix_factory_data_reset_recovery.zip"
[LG Optimus G Pro] mikelets456:
Worked like a charm...thank you very much!

EDIT: however mr SD card is not being shown. When I boot up it says SD card installed, but it's not showing up anywhere. Any suggestions?
[LG Optimus G Pro] spirallingspiral:
Glad it worked :) The sd card is not getting detected atall or just recovery? if its just recovery, some recoveries wont see the sd card, you can just flash another recovery to fix that. If its not being detected once it boots up too then i have no clue what the problem is. Try flashing another rom and see if it detects it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mikelets456:
In recovery it shows "external sd card" then when I tried to flash it says " can't mount sd card". Also, I've tried my 64 gb card that's in my samsung and that does not work either. When it boots up it says "sd card inserted".

How do I flash another recovery or go back to stock recovery? I think something is corrupted in recovery because when I did a factory reset again to clear things up I got the boot error and had to do the process all over that you posted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spirallingspiral:
This is the recovery i always use, its philz touch. You can flash it the same way u flashed the fix, copy the zip to adb folder and sideloading it using adb sideload filename.zip. I cant guarantee that everything will work but if everything goes downhill, you will have to kdz back to stock using the steps from here . If the sd card isnt getting detected after boot too, i really have no idea what the issue is.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mikelets456:
Flashed "TOT" file and all is good. I believe the bootloader is either locked or was corrupted somehow. Thanks again
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suffix642:
So I have watched lots of tutorial videos, used toolkits, etc. but I am unable to root my OPO!

I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP.

I have flashed SuperSU from TWRP 5-6 times, it says it is flashed successfully, but when I reboot, I don't have root.

I have also tried downloading a pre-rooted stock rom and flashed it but it had the same result!

Any ideas anyone? Btw I am on the latest stock rom (30O)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Here is the best root thread here. have you tried flashing Calks pre-rooted rom. Once you flash this there is no need to flash supersu. Give it a try
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suffix642:
That's the rom I flashed.. but when I rebooted the device I had no root access!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
did you try and download supersu from the play store and install it that way. also what did you to test the fact that you have no root
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suffix642:
I have tested whether I have root with various apps. Also I cannot remove SuperSU so I tried installing Superuser app from play store but still the same..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
go into developer options and check under root access and see what it says
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Are you planning to use a custom ROM or what is the goal you're trying to accomplish?

I understand that you're trying to root. But what ROM are you planning to use with ROOT?

Try a custom ROM, do the following

1. Download your ROM, Gapps (if needed), custom kernel (if you want), supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

2. Put it on your phone

3. Boot into TWRP

4. Factory reset

5. Flash ROM, Gapps, custom kernel, supersu

6. Reboot

... and you should have root.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Yea he said he did this already but still did not have root. He flashed Calks stock rooted rom
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I read that, I was suggesting try another flashing custom ROM. I know Mahdi ROM has SuperSU built in but just incase never hurts to flash it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Ok, it does not hurt to try them all if need be. Just the way your post read I am sure he would of said he tried a custom rom but trying more than 1 is something I hope he at least did prior to posting.

OP how many roms have you tried?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Also when your phone boots up, give it a good 1-2 minute before you check if you have root.

Download the SuperSU from the link I provided in the previous post.

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck to check. A pop up will appear asking if you want to grant or deny access, grant it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suffix642:
ok so I found the solution to my problem after flashing supersu using all available recoveries several times!

I unchecked the option "Respect CM root settings" in the SuperSU app and it worked!

btw I can't find a root access setting in the Developers Options. can you guys see it?!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Depending what ROM you're using, its missing built-in Superuser. Just use SuperSU

Under the network settings you access with a dialer code, you can "Set Prefered Network Type". (I have an app that directly opens to the page.) At work, my phone kills its battery switiching networks, but it is fine if i switch to "CDMA only". I have tried and failed numerous times with Tasker to automate this based on location. However, my Tasker understanding is poor at best, and I'm not even sure if this can be done. Searching has yet to yield any results regarding this function. I'm using a GS4 running CM11 if it's relevant.

[HTC EVO 3D] Surielos:
Hey. I bought on ebay without searching a set of Sony Mh1 earphones. But later i saw that its the old OMTP model instead of the CTIA. From my understanding there will be malfunctions like the volume up/down or the answer call button. But will the quality of sound be as is supposed to be? (or will it work at all?). I read that on some phones the sound is ok, but on others there are problems e.g the maximum volume is too low. Does anyone know for sure? Thx !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giolte_:
Can I root the Nexus without unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery?

I was thinking to only boot the TWRP and flash SuperSU but the botloader must be unlocked... so there is a way to root without unlock bootloader and install a custom recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Out of curiosity, why don't you want to unlock your bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Yes there is. You can root with towelroot then use twrp manager
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giolte_:
The temper flag, if I unlock and lock again the tamper flag will be true and I'll have to reset it in case of problems like eMMC, and in many cases the user can't reset it, so I can't claim LG warranty..

Mmm... I heard many bad stories about Towelroot and TWRP Manager... this is the only alternative way?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Only way without unlocking the boot loader. You can also use bootunlocker from the play store to reset the tamper flag if you're rooted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR0S:
Unlock, root, relock, untamper?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giolte_:
Mmm.. understood, thanks, I think that I'm gonna unlock and untamp, hoping that everything will be ok.. I'm losing hopes with modding :(

Anyway, thanks you all.

Sounds like something on the BES or BIS is preventing you from sending BB emails. I would make sure nothing changed on your account. You obviously will need the BB Plan and registered on the BES/BIS server.
[General Questions and Answers] giannis1995:
Hello everyone, I just registered to XDA. I ordered my nexus 5 and I expect it by the end of the week and I just have a few questions.

Please dont judge me hard as I dont have much knowledge on the subject.

1. What is a custom rom?It is a custom OS based on an android version right?

2. I see many people putting custom roms on nexus 5. Why is that? What do custom roms offer?

3. Which one would you suggest me to install to my new phone?

4.Can you help me on how to do the installation?

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
Custom ROMs are basically just third-party-developer-versions of the Android operating system. They usually offer software modifications you can't find on stock versions of Android, such as overclocking your processor (making it run faster than it's supposed to). I'd recommend for starters to go with CyanogenMod. I will look for a good ROM for you to start out with, and when I find one, I'll return and post instructions on how to install it. I'll aos post instructions for how to Root and install a custom recovery (these are things you MUST do before installing any ROM).

EDIT: Here's a guide for how to get your Nexus 5 up to the point where you are running a custom ROM on it. If there's anything you don't understand, please feel free to ask what it means and I'll try my best to explain. Just as a warning, by doing this, you will probably void any warranty you may have with your device. So if you are NOT OK with a warranty being void, please DO NOT proceed. Otherwise, keep reading:

1) Make sure you have a computer with the proper Nexus 5 drivers installed.

2) Root and unlock the bootloader on your Nexus 5. Take a look at THIS for how to do both of them.

3) Read through THIS for how to install a custom recovery. I'd recommend using TWRP. If you already unlocked the bootloader in the previous step, then just ignore the part where this article tells you how to unlock the bootloader.

4) Next you need to download the ROM itself and save it to your Nexus 5's internal storage. My friend who has a Nexus 5 uses THIS ROM, and he seems to like it. Save THIS (ROM) and THIS (Google Apps) to your phone's internal storage. Remember where you put these. Do NOT extract the contents, leave them as a .zip file.

5) Boot your phone into recovery

5.5) DO A FULL BACKUP IN RECOVERY!!! IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG, JUST BOOT INTO RECOVERY, AND SELECT TO RESTORE THE BACKUP AND YOUR PHONE WILL BE BACK TO THE STATE IT WAS BEFORE YOU TRIED TO FLASH THE ROM. THIS IS IMPORTANT! You should do this EVERY TIME you want to flash a Custom ROM. It should be pretty easy to find out how to do a backup in recovery. If you use TWRP Custom Recovery like I suggested, there should be a button in the main menu that says "Backup". Just press that, make sure everything is checked, and then initiate the backup. If you ever need to restore a backup, there should be a "Restore" button in TWRP Recovery's main menu as well. Just select the backup you made, press restore, and let it do its thing.

6) Do a factory reset. That means wipe the data and cache.

7) Select to install/flash a zip file. First flash the ROM zip file, THEN flash the google gapps zip file.

8) Reboot your phone

9) Give it some time to turn on. The first time your phone restarts/turns on after installing a new ROM (what I like to call "First-Boot") will usually take a lot longer than normal. Just give it time.

10) You're done!
[General Questions and Answers] giannis1995:
thanks a lot dude i really appreciate it and i'll be waiting for your reply! by custom recovery you mean save what I want before installing the rom correct?
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
No, that is not what I mean by custom recovery. But yes, you should back up any important files/photos/videos/whatever to a computer or something before proceeding in case something does go wrong. Custom Recovery refers to the Recovery Mode of your device. The stock recovery mode image doesn't allow for flashing custom Android modifications such as ROMs, but custom recovery images do.
[General Questions and Answers] giannis1995:
i'll try to install it as soon as I get my phone. Overclocking is good but what about the battery?Will it be more demanding?
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
If you overclock, then yes. It will use up more battery life, depending on how much you overclock it. The Nexus 5 already has a fast CPU, so overclocking isn't ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, but you can do it if you want.
[General Questions and Answers] giannis1995:
how will I overclock it if I want?Was it mentioned in one of the steps?
[General Questions and Answers] jasonmerc:
I'm not sure if this specific ROM supports it, but from my past experience, CPU clock speed settings should be under Settings>Performance. If Performance doesn't show up, try going to Settings>About, look for "Build Number", and tap that very fast until you see "You are now a developer". Then go back and see if Performance is listed. If it isn't listed even after that, then the ROM may not natively support overclocking.

OK so my Digiland DL700D it runs kit Kat and everybody says u have to root it to write to SD card.Well I got boat browser and it allows me to downland directly to the external SD card without any issues.The only issue is downloading something over 1.3g from google play.Now I've seen nodded google apks,does anybody know if that will work?Also I was looking up stuff on the A23 and I found that linux-sunix.org/A23 has all the specs they also have something called frankenkernel which claims to have minor and major bugsbfix should I downloaded ad it?:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theroadrunner:
I wouldn't add it. the kernel and rom have to talk too much to change it. modding the kernel will likely cause unfavorable results. It's not bad the way it came. It's just slow and the battery sucks and the screen isn't very responsive and the viewing angles have to be perfect and it doesn't have enough on board memory to enjoy. Other than that it's decent.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] DrHRH:
Hi,

Hope Im not duplicating anything here. I've got a massive problem. I use the Three UK network on PAYG and take the all in one 15 bundle, giving me a great deal - 300 mins, 3000 texts and totally unlimited 4G data with no worries that I'll ever spend more than 15 quid a month on my phone.

The massive problem is that now I've bought what I thought was the perfect device, The Honor X1 LTE with 32GB internal, I can't use the Three sim card for data. It tells me I have to buy a data sim to use the internet on the go. The sim thinks the phone is a tablet.

I'm now at a point where I have several crap options:

1) I have to change to a different network, assuming it's possible to use data on a phone sim card in the Honor mediapad x1 on other networks.

2) Use the phone with no mobile data access.

3) Sell the phone.

4) Work out how to make the sim card stop thinking it's a tablet.

Please somebody, help me out here. Does anyone have a UK sim which works on the X1 with calls, texts and mobile data for a decent monthly cost?

Thanks in advance,

HRH.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
If the SIM tells you that it is a tablet, call your provider (Three) and explain them that they have to remove the block; or you will have to change provider.

Be firm but very polite.
