[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] verapakill:
Okay so I'm not new to rooting roming or any other ing. Although I am use to Verizon primarily. My friend said that her at&t note 2 shut down on her while using it and went to a boot loop. I took it home and tried to factory data reset it. No luck. I then downloaded the proper files and reflashed using Odin. No luck. The Odin program gave me a PASS notification but the phone is still in a boot loop and I can not get it to go into recovery to data reset. I'm really lost at this point. Any help would be great thank you.

[Xposed General] checkmateyou:
After installing a module, the module needs to be enable via XposedInstaller, along with a reboot afterward. I wish to bypass this step for various reasons (debugging, etc) to skip the tedious repetition of enabling it after so many times. Is this possible?
[Xposed General] pyler:
+1 for developer mode.

Maybe it is possible to listen for added packages, check if have xposedmodule tag and then do soft reboot for example.
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
You only need to enable it once. Rebooting is necessary and can't be bypassed.
[Xposed General] checkmateyou:
I understand that (soft-)rebooting is necessary, but I am in the process of making multiple modules under different signatures/apps that needs to be enable through the installer. A "developer mode" would be very convenient.

This is nothing special. Just wanted to share a few pics of what I did in my car to make the wireless charging more stable and look a bit better. (I drive a Hyundai Coupe Siii)

I bought a wireless charger off eBay, similar to this one: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251601244276&alt=web

I then got a non slip mat of eBay too.

Below are the progress pics of changes.

Hi all.

First of all, this site's brilliant! The advice on here really helped me when I was trying to install TomTom on my XDA Mini S.

My wife is from South Africa and we're heading out there for a hol in Jan. Her brother says he's got a car for me so I would really like to have a sat nav unit I can use over there as I've come to depend on TomTom to get me around unfamiliar places.

Problem is, TomTom don't seem to do a South African map package. Does anyone know of a decent program I can use instead? I aleady have a BT GPS receiver and plan to load it on my phone, so ideally I'd want just a software package if there's one available.

Thanks in advance.

[Security Discussion] timmyhall83:
Hi,

My phone was recently compromised with a sophisticated RAT. The exploits the RAT used were picked up by CM security and CM said it found.

1. Towel Root Exploit

2. Fake ID Exploit - something to do with exploiting Android certificates.

The thing is I have never rooted the phone or done anything other than a factory reset and purchased it new.

I'm concerned this may have been planted by someone close to me and need information to ensure I am safe in future.

How possible is it that this was carried out physically? the hacker who planted the RAT had physical access to my phone?

There is also other evidence which I can supply which was suggesting my phone had been flashed without my knowledge as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I just did a factory reset and reinstalled CM and again the exploits were found. How is this possible? Is the malware embedded in my ROM?

-Tim
[Security Discussion] jcase:
1) Towel root is an application used to root phones, it itself is not malware

2) FakeID is a vuln, but not one to get worked up over and not introduced by malware

CM Security is utter garbage, and is only popular due to the shear amount of spamming that company has done. I have deleted a ton of their spam from here. Use Lookout if you want movie anti virus software. Delete that trash of an app CM.
[Security Discussion] timmyhall83:
Towel root is an exploit and can be packaged into malicious apps. If you do a Google search on this there are various articles explaining how it will be a nightmare for security firms due to this reason.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Yeah I dont need garbage from a google search, I know what it is and how it works, doesnt change statement.
[Security Discussion] timmyhall83:
Solid logic my friend. :confused:

I'll save you the hassle of searching and offer you this quote from an AVAST Virus Lab expert.

“Even though TowelRoot is not malicious itself, it may be misused as an exploit kit. Generally, TowelRoot can be used as a delivery package for malicious applications,” explained Filip Chytry, an AVAST Virus Lab expert on mobile malware. “It’s capable of misusing a mistake in Android code which allows attackers to get full control over your Android device. TowelRoot itself is more a proof-of-concept, but in the hands of bad guys, it can be misused really quickly. For this reason we added it to our virus signatures, so Avast detects it as Android:TowelExploit.” - Quoted from - blog.avast.com/2014/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s5-and-other-popular-phones-vulnerable-to-towelroot-android-exploit/
[Security Discussion] jcase:
I work fulltime in the mobile security industry "my friend". I analyze a large number of malware and exploit samples, on frequent basis. I'm well aware of what TowelRoot is, and did the first third party analysis of the exploit (as GeoHot shared a copy a day early with me).

That whole statement is rather poor, and misinformed. The Futex vulnerability, which is what towel root uses, is not even in Android code, its in the Kernel code. TowelRoot is not a proof of concept, its a full blown exploit doing it's designed purpose. Towelroot, as is, can not be used as a "delivery package".

Next time before coming with attitude against someone helping you, please do your research.
[Security Discussion] timmyhall83:
I have done my research. It's seems out of the ordinary that a quote from a company representative of a major anti-virus firm would be 'rather poor, and misinformed'. Who's a more reliable source you or him?

I'm not coming with an attitude against anyone, if anything your second response was coming against me with attitude.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Its not out of the ordinary, its called FUD and rather common.

In this case, me.

My second post had no attitude,

This is your THIRD thread about this topic, you have your answers. You seem not to like the answers.
[Security Discussion] timmyhall83:
Okay so explain to me, what would be the point of anti-virus companies adding the exploit to their databases if it can't be used for malicious purposes?

Your reply came of as pretty arrogant so yeah it did have attitude.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
The vulnerability can, that exploit as is can't as it requires user interaction.

More detections, more pop ups they show customers, more sales they get.

You have been given you answer here, and in the other two threads. I am closing this thread, please do not repost this question to other sections.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I was playing a video podcast on my JVC car stereo via bluetooth earlier. After stopping for 5 minutes I started the car again, waited for the phone to reconnect to the car stereo bluetooth , then resumed playback of the podcast. This time there was no audio playback through the car stereo, and I couldn't do anything to get it to work again. I tried rebooting the phone (twice) but despite appearing to connect successfully to the JVC unit there is no audio playback.

Can anyone suggest anything else to try? I'm running Phoenix ROM v9.4 (Android 4.4.2).

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any way to root the new i747mvlufnh2 firmware and if it would trip any counter?

Would towelroot work or cf autoroot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] YBrazeau:
I just tried Towel root and get a "Phone not supported .. ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Towel root won't work. Just flash the SuperSU package in recovery. Use the ones from my signature. The latest 2.02 is having problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] YBrazeau:
I should just install the Superuser_2.00.apk ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you used towelroot to root, yes just install the app. Otherwise you will need to flash one of the zip files.

Can anyone pull a flashable modem from I747MVLUFNH2 ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I'll try to post them in my 4.4.2 modem thread sometime today. Have to download each full firmware to get them though so it may take a little time.

Unless anyone wants to extract the Non-hlos.bin from the firmware and just upload that for me!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
extract the who from the what and bring it where ?:banghead: lol. still such a freakin newb-head.

err on the side of kindness
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Starting with the full firmware .tar.md5 file, extract with 7zip and you'll see all the different partitions that are flashed when you flash with Odin.

NON-HLOS.bin is the modem.

Tz.mbn - Trust Zone

Rpm.man - resource and power management

Sbl2&3 - secondary boot loader

Aboot.mbn - application bootloader

Boot.img - kernel

I don't need that to be done now though. I started the downloads earlier so they should be waiting for me when I get back.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SterneSchreien:
So what do I have to do? What do I have to flash and using what?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I was answering a request for the modem. Is that what you're asking about or are you still asking about root like in your op? Did you try my earlier suggestion? Flash the SuperSU update pkg in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SterneSchreien:
Yeah still about root, how do I flash the file? Odin? Will it trigger the flash counter?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You flash via custom recovery, which you'd have to flash with Odin.

A custom recovery will trip the warrant bit. There's no way to root without doing so.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SterneSchreien:
Ah there used to be I think. Anyway my 1year warranty ended 2 days ago so tripping the counter should not be a problem right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Nope. If its out of warrany it doesn't matter at all. There used to be root66 firmware which didn't trip it, but the latest versions had mixed results. And the 4.4.2 builds aren't out....yet. You can wait to try that if/when they are ready, or you can root via recovery as mentioned earlier.

New root66 will be worked on, but I can't give a solid eta as I'm not the one doing the work. Not promising anything either.

I have tried to post in Firmware-Team's forum for this. Unfortunately, I can't even register. Clicking register from any page simply throws up a 403 with a 404 for the error pages. So it's not possible (for new users, anyway) to request firmware on the Firmware-Team forum.

Xposed still should not work, gestures on switched off black screen should not work, except Weather and some Mobile phone assistant (flashing tools?) ROM should be pure Kit Kat without Lenovo stuff since it's ported from VIVO phone (?)

there should be also some issue with notification bar freezing phone when opening Wifi settings, here is patch for it (although I red about different issue about reported wrong storage capacity 8GB instead of 16GB) untouched reuploaded by me

for issue with Wifi disconnecting in Advanced wifi settings you should set ALWAYS connected, no energy saving or anything

I was bored so I made a new Windows splash screen for the Softbank X01HT.

I haven't yet succeeded in modifying the boot splash screen but it is pretty easy to modify the Windows splash screen that appears before your Today desktop.

As you can see, the file is designed for portrait and landscape modes.

I got tired of seeing the stupid "Windows Mobile" branding, so I made the attached image instead which shows off the hardware instead!

To install:

Copy welcomehead.96.png to your storage card.

Use Total Commander to clear the +readonly +hidden +system attributes for "\windows\welcomehead.96.png"

Use Total Commander to copy/move this file to your \windows directory.

When done copying/moving, reset the readonly, hidden and system attributes for the file.
