Hi folks;

I haven't had a Windows Mobile device in years - last time I had one it was still CE, so I have a bit of a learning curve to climb. I'm looking forward to it though; my HTC Trinity arrives in two days and I'm excited.

One thing I'm really curious about is Bluetooth security. I've read a fair bit recently about a lot of mobile phones / basic smartphones and how they severly lack any sort of bluetooth security, meaning other people can pair to your device without your knowledge to send you messages, copy files to/from the device via OBEX, that sort of thing.

I am wondering what sort of security I can expect out of a WM5 device for Bluetooth (and to some extent Wi-Fi as well). Can people pair with me without my knowledge?

Will my A2DP connection to my new Moto HT820's be easily eavesdropped? It probably uses that default 0000 key like most headsets do.

Also, what sort of tools are available to have a bit of fun with other people's Bluetooth phones? Are there tools for WinMo to send people SMS messages via BT, or listen to headsets, that sort of thing?

If that's against the rules around here, fair enough, don't post anything that would get us in trouble.

Admittedly, it's sort of a lame script-kiddie thing to do, but I think I'd get a kick out of it and I wouldn't do anything to harm someone's device - it would just be a fun learning experience to mess around with people's phones remotely.

It's also good to raise awareness of the relative insecurity of a lot of these personal-area networking devices.

Noob thread alert

omg how nooby is this post?

ok heres a very simple concept

bluetooth off = no access

bluetooth on = available access, however.

most phones these days (even if they support obex object push) have other securitys in place to stop these sorts of attacks.

im really sick of wana be "hackers" carrying on about bluetooth hacking, gawd go learn odbc or something usefull.

even if you could get into someones phone with your elite hacking skills what would you honestly get out of it, "wow look at me i can msg some complete stranger from someones phone book...."

sorry but as a programmer it really grinds my gears seeing noobs post about things they dont understand.

the best way to secure your device while BT is on is to make sure its not discoverable.. Nothing is 100% (except leaving BT off completely)

Alright, I would hardly consider myself a "noob" simply because I've only been posting here for a week or so. Perhaps once you learn to capitalize letters and spell words, your flames will become more effective.

The question was aimed at determining the level of security present in WM5 devices, and to see if there were any little easy fun programs to send messages or files, that sort of thing. I don't want to "hack" people to any serious extent, or I would fire up my Debian laptop and listen in to the communications that way.

Well, enough out of me. I'll let you get back to wanking it to pictures of Michael Moore.

Sorry, I probably went a little far on the defensive, but someone who can't even spell or type a complete sentence doesn't have much right calling someone he doesn't know a "noob".

I've bought that Bluejacker program, and it looks to be a pretty impressive tool. Most useful will be the ability to save OBEX transfers directly to my storage card - a few of my friends have overglorified HDD-based media players and I think they may have Bluetooth, so it should be interesting to try transferring movies around.

I've been using it a couple of days now. It's the best Bluetooth utility I have seen on the PPC.

It's a shame it's locked to my Uni though because sometimes I take the Wizard out as it's so much smaller, and I would have liked to use it on that on those odd days.

EDIT: 0vZ just contacted me on that MoDaCo thread to say a 2nd license is only $3 USD. Peanuts to pay for such a functional product, so I'll do that.
[General Topics] AlanJC:
Oh and just a note to st3v3, no, this app isn't really *hacking*, but people's stupidity means you can probably quite easily download every text message on their phone.

Changing your BT name to "incoming message" or something and accessing a phone might bring up a message like "incoming message is trying to access your phone. Allow, yes or no"

Lots of people send files and send silly messages by BT now, most non-technical people would simply click yes, giving you OBEX, or AT access to their phone.

I didn't buy this app for this purpose, but I have just discovered how easy it is, I might have a little play.
[General Topics] st3v3:
yeah and its the same as on the old nokias if you have your name as blank (forget how to do that there was a way) any of the old nokias (ngage i know it works) would lock up becuase it wouldnt display the name.

still not what I would call hacking and being able to read someone’s text messages (which would require someone’s bt to be left on and that they had the right type of phone)

All in all its still a pipe dream of misconstrued wana be 15 year olds with nothing better to do than sit around telling their friends what elite hackers they are.
[General Topics] AlanJC:
Alternatively, it's something geeks might do when bored in a bar because their geeky friends are even more boring.

Stop being so far up your own ass, it's a bit of fun that's functionality on top of a very useful app.

Many people I know leave BT on, as a quick scan in a crowded place will show.

If you know anything about hacking at all, you will know 99% is down to the social aspect, and preying on the stupidity of the average person. Read some Kevin Mitnick, social hacking is way more effective than using code exploits.

Hi guy's

Can someone confirm if I flash a custom Rom over an NE6 official boot loader/modem won't trigger the eFuse Or hard brick the unit and or is it safe to flash any newer 4.4.4 custom rom as most devs reference to use older boot loader which ain't feasible.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymonkey05:
As soon as you put a costom recovery on the device the efuse is triped. As for the Roms, I believe you can flash any ROM that's 4.3 and up and be OK, just make sure that the Roms don't touch the BL or the MODEMS as that will brick your device
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You can still flash older roms, just not older firmware. 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 roms may prove to be a bit buggy considering the huge gap between build versions. Ymmv if you go back that far.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitysheep:
Hello,

I am trying to find an official ROM for my GT-I9100 phone ( Europe )

As far as I understood, the latest official ROM for this phone is 4.1.2 ( Src: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 )

Is there a way to install an "official" 4.4 ROM for this phone with Odin ? I can only find *really* customized one, like cyanmogen, slim etc... which I don't want.

Which ROM would you recommend close to the official one?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarma71:
Last really official rom was 4.1.2

You're right...

The last official ROM was 4.1.2

There are some ROM developed on the last builds (the official ones) like NeatRom http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-neatrom-lite-extralite-themed-aroma-t1569686, but are 4.1.2

Actually there are no official roms after 4.1.2

All others rom after that version are developed at least without Samsung's interface TouchWiz so the look is different (and are lacking all the specific Samsung's app)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitysheep:
Thanks Tarma,

Do you know why ROM after 4.1.2 are developed without the touchwiz interface ( at least for my phone GT-9100 ) ?

Basically, why can't we find a barely tweaked 4.4 ROM working on a GT-9100 ?

Many thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-fusion-rom-v1-5-galaxy-s5-themed-t2725352

This rom has touchwiz implemented with some galaxy s5 themes. Although it's still based on 4.1.2 it looks like 4.4.

In phone information it also says 4.4 but don't get fooled, it's still 4.1.2 :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitysheep:
Thanks Muthzer.

However, I need Android 4.4 as I need to debug Android apps using Chrome remote debugging ( https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging )

Do you know why there is no 4.4 implemented with touchwiz ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Hmm that's a good question. I'm no developer though, but I thought a while about it.

It would be wrong to say it'an official rom for galaxy s2, cause official ended with 4.1.2 and everything beyond there is built by non Samsung people.

To be honest I have no clue why there is no 4.4 based rom with touchwiz and now where u ask I'm interested too. Maybe it'd be an idea to ask a developer personally about that.

Only thing I can think is it has something to do with the Samsung specific apps which source codes may not be published.

Earlier when I installed a custom rom on 4.3 I missed the radio and also the feature to play wma files on music player.

Suggestion I got was to go back to stock-based rom.

So I think the devs just have no source code for Samsung stuff and thus they can't put it into other roms.

But as long as they r just tweaking the original one (4.1.2) which already has everything into it, it's possible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarma71:
No TouchWiz >4.1.2

TouchWiz is the Samsung's proprietary interface developed for their products I don't think any source code is available to developer's community.

I've tried some rom without Touchwiz, but are always lacking something. I'm happy with my NeatRom based on the latest Firmware available by Samsung, rooted and working like a charm :)

Hey, so I'm kinda stuck on this one feature and can't seem to find a way around it.

I like the stock htc one music player, but when i use ok google to play a song (like i do in the car) it just searches for the song in the music player, doesn't play it. I've been using the google play music player which does work with the ok google command, but i have to enter the pin to get to the music player. Is there some kind of tweak like for xposed or a setting that either makes ok google work properly with the htc music app or Google play bypass the lockscreen? or some other option im not thinking of?

3. go settings - about - software update - check for update.

4. when the system notify there is update, select download then install now

You did it wrong ... you need to restore 1.54 not 2.22

after restore to 1.54 then flash stock recovery then reboot then let the system do the OTA and update to 2.22

Or in advance way, fastboot flash the 2.22 firmware manually or use the external_sd card method. Search for those method... this way you only need to flash 2.22 firmware then restore 2.22 backup.. done

But I suggest the 1.54 restore way as you're new to all these.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
If you try it instead of asking, I believe your update already completed :p

1. Never restore data after you completed the OTA update to 2.22

restore data before the OTA (but do wipe cache and dalvik)

2. You should use the 1.54 nandroid backup

a- restore your data

b- restore the 1.54 nandroid backup (don't wipe anything before restoring this nandroid, it will automatically wipe system but retain your data)

c- wipe cache and dalvik

d- reboot to bootloader

e- fastboot flash stock recovery

f- reboot

g- check for OTA then select download (if the previous one was removed), then select install OTA

h- let system do its stuff until it finish and reboot on its own

i- done ... now your device is updated to 2.22 with correct firmware and your data / settings & etc all intact

j- optional, flash custom recovery again for rooting and whatever you like to do (but make a nandroid backup first as you need this later for 4.4.4 OTA and/or Android L OTA)
