[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] widgetgn0me:
Hi,

I recently met someone online who was a romantic type of encounter but the more we spoke the more creeped out I got by the things hes seemed to know about me.

I finally came to the conclusion the things he said to me were extremely huge red flags, there was no way it was a coincidence anymore, and he knew FAR too much about things personal to me such as separate email accounts, and fake birthdates I use as only the last straw before I concluded to reset my device.

Alcatel
One Touch
Fierce 2
Kitkat

Thats the device I have. We 1st spoke on Kik and he sent me 2 pictures. One was of him that would not open an image. I tried to open it several times but it was just a blank picture.

The second I was able to view and download.

Does anyone know if this is possible to become infected by those means alone?

Otherwise it is possible he made a fake account and infected me with a link that did not work, but I was always under the impression that it was not possible to become infected by Rat or Keylogger with out installation. I was told in a recent thread I could become infected with opening a false link(???).

Im pretty much 100% sure I was infected. I hard reset my phone, but not the SD card yet. I believe the virus is gone, but I feel very creeped out this happen and do not see this going anywhere further but I would like to know if it is even possible. Theres no way Im being paranoid, but I do get a little over worried sometimes, unfortunately I think this was one of the genuine times.

How is it possible if someone did? Anybody have a link to a good article I could learn more? Thanks. PLEASE FORWARD TO ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE ANY ADVICE AT ALL WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
Most likely he (or she) learned information about you some other way.

You might be surprised what people can learn from the "right" Google searches using some known info like email and city.

If a password on some account can be guessed, that can provide a flood of info, like reading every email or forum posts.

Most infections are from Android apps installed outside of Google Play. Image file viruses are theoretically possible, but I don't recall hearing of any such thing lately.

[Moto X Q&A] dukeoid:
I have new Verizon Moto X Dev Edition. Messed up. Thought it was already on 4.4.2. Not, it's on 4.2.2. Unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and rooted. Wanting to update it to 4.4.2. Thinking from reading that I need to get back to stock recovery for OTA update if that is possible over wifi since phone is not activated yet. Can't find 4.2.2 stock recovery and not sure if that is what I need to do anyway. Is that what I need to do and/or is there a better way? Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] Alecegonce101:
Well I too have a Dev Edition but is SIM-Unlocked so it isn't Verizon.

If all you want to do is update, you could install Custom ROM although you will lose Motorola's Active Display, Always Listening etc...

If you want complete stock and have to reflash TWRP and root your phone, you will need to flash the stock firmware using fastboot or a utility.
[Moto X Q&A] dukeoid:
Finally found 4.2.2 . When trying RSD fail at gpt bin, also fails there with manual flashing. Any ideas?

Edit...Finally got it. Different version of 4.2.2 did it.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Um, all VZW Moto Xs are SIM-unlocked.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
I hope it wasn't the pre-camera 4.2.2....or you might be in a tough spot now.... Risking a brick. ?

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Unless the first firmware was also pre camera... Then you're OK.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Taking OTA's is incremental, so if you are the initial shipping 4.2.2 you need to take the first 4.2.2 w/camera OTA, then the 4.4 OTA, then the 4.4.2 OTA... a real time waster and pain in the rear.

Best way... Grab the SBF for the version you want to be on, and flash it... i.e. you mention going to 4.4.2, so... grab the 4.4.2 SBF and flash it.

Since you have a Dev Edition, why not just go to 4.4.4? it has a few bug fixes, and is stable. For me and many others its no worse than 4.4.2 as far as performance and battery.

Once you arrive on the ROM you want, you can flash TWRP and root.
[Moto X Q&A] dukeoid:
OTA'ed to 4.4.2. But for future reference you can skip versions and SBF to the one you want??
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Yup! ?

As long as it's not a lower version.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
OTA = Incremental. Only patches the changed/updated parts.

SBF/FXZ = "all inclusive" or "image files".. and overwrites entire partitions/parts.

So yes. You can just flash the newer SBF file. (As [MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION] said... as long as the SBF you are flashing is NEWER than the version on your phone... i.e. NEVER DOWNGRADE)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coach26:
Curious if there would be any buyers out there. Moto Care is transferable, so I would be willing to just break even on moto care and the price for the device. It added up to $860 dollars. The phone is in brand new shape. Its just to big for me. I'd throw in all the cases I have, 3 I think, have a tempered glass screen that I would include. Talked to Supervisor at Moto named Tracy, she said she could transfer moto care stuff over before I ship it. I would just need the person's phone number and contact info. You only have a $39 dollar deductible to get it replaced if something screws up with it. Up to 3 replacements. I'm going to order a 64gb moto x as soon as I sell it. My cell is 918 908-0353. I guess I would do pay pal payment. I have never sold anything online like this before, so even if there are people out there not interested that would like to give me some advice, I'll sure take it. Figure I could sell it on ebay too, but not sure how the transfer of the moto care would work.

Thanks,

This is against XDA rules (you can see them, http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81), look into www.swappa.com to sell your device.

Also it isn't wise to publically post your number out to the public.

For some reason my phone won't remember the password to my home network. When I disconnect from it, it never actually saves it.

My prime is stuck in a bootloop.

It starts up at the Asus screen with the powered by Nvidia in the bottom right corner, and "The Device is Unlocked." in the top left.

I can't seem to get to recovery.

I also can't get adb access.

I've tried t fastbooting, but I don't really know the proper method/time. So I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. Currently it just says waiting for device.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
Do you get the icons when holding volume down and power?

Before flashing did you backup the blobs with nv tool
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ucenna:
Alas, I did not. Actually I bought this used on ebay, hoping to fix it. I'm not sure if it's nvflash enable or not. A bit knew to nvflashing. I'll look into it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
Yeah that would be about the only way you might be able to get it back up and running again.

Might want to check out the unbricking thread in the development section and read through that.

It should give you enough information about the tools and set them up and try a few different things.

If the fastboot works you might be able to flash the default blobs or something to get it back.

Another thing you can try first, if you can get fastboot working, is to just fastboot flash a recovery from TWRP or others and see if you can boot into that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ucenna:
Thanks, I'll look into it.

Having glanced at the guide, I noticed that the button combination is Vol Up + Power. And that it leads to a blank screen. As it turns out, I originally thought that was the button combination for recovery. And that led to a blank screen. So, so far it's looking good.

Edit: As it turns out, I don't have my device's nvflash files. I'll keep looking into it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ucenna:
Well no luck so far, may have to give up.

Hey ucenna,

Have you found a fix for your Prime? Mine is exactly like yours. And I don't know Asus machines. Think I may have to go to Samsung only.

Before you judge me by saying how i'm posting something thats done before, it hasn't, I've searched everywhere no methods work :(

Please, someone help me I've been at this for 4 days now and maybe just 15 hours of sleep :crying:.

The phone I have right now is the SGH-i337m Galaxy s4 running NC1 with MDJ modem (Kitkat 4.4.2) Does not detect sim, it says "No sim available".

I'm not exactly sure if the phone is from Bell but the phone use to be running fine on my old rogers sim card until I updated to their new ShareTap Sim.

With the ShareTap Sim the phone doesn't detect my sim anymore. So I tried my Share Tap Sim in another unlocked phone (Galaxy note 3) it worked fine.

Then I tried a Virgin mobile sim card on the S4 and it detected it and worked fine also. So then I tried to unlock it by flashing it with many different methods:

1. I tried flashing a older version of Bell 4.2.2 but it bricked my phone ( I already unbricked it back to 4.4.2)

2. I tried flashing the MDJ modem but it doesn't show the hidden menu.

3. I tried flashing ATT modem to try it but that also bricked my phone.

4. I tried to use the AWS tutorial shown here

5. I tried the regionlock away tutorial here in the third method (RegionlockAway doesnt do anything to my phone)

6. I pulled the modem.bin from the TAR file from sammobile of Bell's 4.2.2. But it still doesn't show the hidden menu! It's the MDJ modem but it still doesn't work!

I'm not sure whats wrong with my phone. When I put the Virgin mobile sim card in there it only shows Telus, EXT and Virgin Sim networks available not the whole spectrum which is what is supposed to happen with the 337_aws.qcn file from the AWS tutorial. Then when I flash MDJ modem from bell or the one from this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2m3id2cx4l...37MVLUAMDJ.zip

It still doesn't show my secret menu.

The secret menu I'm trying to access is the *#0011# but if that didn't work I also tried the *#9090# It still doesn't show the secret menu. So what do I do now? Please Help!

Thanks for reading!

Sorry to hear that, but you are in the same situation i was, the phone was probably sim-unlocked by Box Software, like Octopus or Z3X Boxes as i did, the phone won't recognize some sim cards by unknown reasons, there is no fix avaliable for this as i changed imei, tried different NVM from other phone & even replacing sim card reader. i finally sold it & got myself a i337m unlocked via code.

Edit:

forgot to mention, My SIM stopped being recognized when i upgraded it to a newer LTE version

Kind regards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mgeekd:
Have you tried stock NC1 with the included modem? If the device is unlocked, you might have better success with SIM recognition. In my case, my device was not unlocked, so I Odin flashed stock Telus MDJ, then rooted with CF-Auto-Root, unlocked with RegionlockAway (KNOX tripped), and applied the AWS Mod.

Then I flashed stock NC1 with the incl. modem (root gone), and managed to get Rogers LTE and Wind H+ on the Telus device. From there, I OTA updated, and rooted with CF-Auto-Root, flashed TWRP, and worked my way to 5.0.1. Trust me I know how frustrating this can be, but thanks to this forum, there was a solution. Here's what worked for me (link). Good luck.

Hi!

Thank you for your manual! one question though:

This short sentence needs clarification for me:

According to THIS manual:

http://www.droidwiki.de/ClockWorkMod#Installation

I would boot into fastboot mode as according to this:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/caterpillar-cat-b15q-forum/646487-b15q-bootoptionen.html

and send the command(s), either only the recovery or the USBFix-Recovery and the USBFix Boot Image together.

fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY_CWM.img

or

fastboot flash recovery USBFIX_RECOVERY_CWM.img
fastboot flash boot USBFIX_boot.img

After this succeeded I would try to reboot normally. If this works (and is not bricked) I would proceed either with this:

or put it onto the SD-Card in the FAT32-area using a card reader, insert the SD-Card into the phone and bot into recovery.

And then I would flash this ZIP:

Did I get it correctly?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I don't want to brick my B15Q again...

Thanks for the rooting description, but I seem to have flashing problems.

"PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded."

I did several WIndows restarts as recommended and some few times the flashing process starts, but then I get the following failure:

"BROM error : ?? (3)"

For this one searching did not help, any ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doggy77:
The rooting went perfectly fine. I've flashed only the CWM and the SuperSU.zip, not the boot.img.

Here some hints:

- The current spflashtool versions gave me the "PMT changed" error. The version 1352 was working fine with the same scatter- and img-file and the same drivers: http://mtk2000.ucoz.ru/down11/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01.rar

- The first flashing of the recovery was not successful, it booted straight to the stock recovery. I flashed it a second time and it worked fine.

- The command for adb-Push should be "adb push /path/to/update-supersu-v2.40.zip /sdcard/supersu.zip", so please ensure to give the filename and not the directory. When giving the directory only without trailing slash as stated in the original post, it said me something similar to "could not copy, target is a directory" (the existing directory was named identically to the file to be created via push). With trailing slash it seemed to write it correctly, but no file appeared, I suppose due to a missig filename.

Thank you very much! If harddisk_wp is here at Karlsruhe, Germany at any time, he may get a Cheezburger (or two) at any time... :D
