v0.2

I Implemented the SP Minus Immediate instruction, which should resolve the NotImplemented exception reported by [MENTION=5019820]dmt010[/MENTION] . I also implemented a bunch more instructions needed by the S4 aboot, although I'm still not done. I went ahead and uploaded an update anyway. This one doesn't blow up like the first version, but rather displays the missing instruction if it encounters one. To skip to a specific address and start executing code, you can modify the PC register and click Apply Edits, then step or run. Sometimes you have to do it twice for it to take, for some reason. If you want to play around with this with your own abootmbn or sbl1.mbn, feel free to post any Not Implemented messages here so I can add them, just make sure no one else has already posted it. Make sure you copy and paste the whole line including the instruction mnemonic and "Pattern" which will help me to identify the desired encoding.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dmt010:
Instruction [Thumb16,LDRB] not implemented. Pattern: [01111iiiiinnnttt]. Address: [0x88E1C470]

I just uploaded v0.3. Now it runs the Verizon S4 aboot file without exception until it gets to a section where keeps incorrectly executing ANDEQ R0, R0, #0x3. I know that's not what it is supposed to do, and that it is a result of BX R14, when R14 is holding 0x880C7000, but 0x880C7000 has only zeros because the s4 aboot is running out of context, isolated. Maybe there is supposed to be code at 0x880C7000, ready and waiting to run. Or maybe there was a calculation error in my code and R14 should not have held the value 0x880C7000. I don't know. I will relook at the preceeding steps and make sure the calculations are correct. Might add a unit test or two. I may need to spend more time looking at the line before the branch (MCR p15, 0, R0,c1,c0, 0) MCR was one of the first instructions I implemented months ago. I may need to re-look at that logic and make sure I did it right...

What did I say? Glad I snagged the first post, I knew this project would take off.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cobaltikus:
It is possible that at some point I will consider sharing my source code to the public. But first I need to look into different licensing steps I should take to make sure that if I do release it, it will remain open source and not be stolen and licensed by someone else, forcing me to take my code down, or something else that could be bad for me. I want to make sure that if I do it, I do it right. Another issue for me is that I like to copy and paste the psuedocode from ARM directly into my code, commented, so I have it for reference. I'm fairly certain I would have to take that out before releasing, so I'm not infringing on ARM's copyright policies. But it would be nice to collaborate. Possibly. Maybe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cobaltikus:
Yep. I need to re-implement MCR. I wasn't doing all that needed to be done.

I got a bit side tracked. Thanks to Tal Aloni, Cobalt Debugger now shows and validates the certificate chain and image signature, which started me down the rabbit hole of potentially cracking RSA. When I come back up for air I'll post my latest changes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kcarden:
ive been trying to crack that thing for months now! haha join in the telegram again for info and we can collaborate live. from what i understand we're dealing with an RSA-SHA1 sig with PKCS#11 padding
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XxD34THxX:
Sorry to be somewhat off-topic, but RSA is a method of encryption. So Samsung/Verizon used this to encrypt the bootloader. So if we can crack it, we have access to the bootloader and can Loki it/ another exploit?

Oh yeah, I subbed. I'm teaching myself python and Java(was already on my to do list) to try and offer limited help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skepticmisfit:
can you do much with python on android?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gekkehenkie11:
What exactly does this thing do ? I"m a bit confused :) This is some kind of simulator so that you can see how it impacts memory during execution ? But then again, if it can't access hardware then what's the use ? What does it offer over IDA pro ? I'm confused :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] XxD34THxX:
Not now. Still on the basics of python. I have python and ide on my pc waiting if you need me to test something.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gekkehenkie11:
Ah right, getting now what the use of this is :) As long as stuff is not done in hardware, which it most likely wont be anyway (cause kernel is not up lol) then this could function as a simulator to debug the bootloader. Makes sense :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kcarden:
i've been looking a lot at recovery.img and the recovery partition. and what happens is the image is encrypted and then signed to be accepted by other software sig checks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cobaltikus:
The image is not encrypted, but rather signed. An HMAC hash is created based on the image. This hash is then signed using a private 2048 bit RSA key. The public key is already on the device, we have the public key, and it can be used to verify the signature. So although RSA can be used for encryption, it can also be used for signature verification, which is what it is being used for here. With the given public key, we can verify a signature signed using the private key that only Samsung has, but we can't sign anything, only verify signatures. UNLESS you can figure out two whole numbers that when multiplied together equal 30310227443825557164637841134532835686376611503408502531860765963455300123001425357433901857606714854370993142496277291555727555950302916722764009678253038044915627710013760093404959110480885960238598272495266094529551013559294793224096294549257213714205690260942916163293005725783830137925442173459072995196702936914489243372379321809774050419066981056816086680937123592313643848620475605453779376975867030091157741605140826181015905443696516802481613520898487742214014181167217971394852733810725937594394745310894177235758866052028744469776942503974741288421721044906812625642895826317982940818042059262513605710231 with no remainders.

And therein lies the security of RSA

It's too difficult (time consuming) to factor that number. But if you know the answer, then you can use that answer sign a new bootloader of your own making for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cobaltikus:
IDA shows you all the instructions, and you have to read it and keep track of variables in your head or on paper as you follow the code, trying to figure out what it's doing.

With CobaltDebugger, you can step through these instructions one at a time and see for yourself what the result of that instruction was, without having to rely on your own memory and understanding of ARM Assembly.

I highly recommend using IDA in conjunction with CobaltDebugger. IDA is much better at disassembling the entire binary up front, whereas CobaltDebugger does it at run time as the opcodes are encountered. So start with IDA if you like, find where you want to go, switch to CobaltDebugger and let it run. When it stops, alter the PC register to point to the address you marked in IDA and click Apply, then keep stepping in CobaltDebugger and it will jump there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewmkeller:
We all know that cell phones talk to cell-phone towers which then connect them to the rest of the telephone network. But what about situations where there are no cell-phone towers? Two people with perfectly good cell phone devices would be virtually incapable of talking to one another short of speaking to each other face to face. Connecting two smart phones via wifi or bluetooth seems a simple enough solution, but the range of these radios is significantly limited in comparison to that of the cellular modem.

The root of this question is: How do I access the modem of two smartphone and connect them together directly so that I can speak between the two of them without a cell phone tower present. This would be useful for example on a road trip with multiple cars across "dead zones."

I understand that there is a lot of proprietary bounds that may need to be crossed and that appropriate amature radio licensing will be needed potentially. This is an excellent post on a similar concept: Raw android GSM radio modem access (text/call intercept)

Would RIL allow this process, or would I need to go even closer to hardware?

I am a senior studying Computer Engineering at Brigham Young University. This is a concept I would like to explore, and I haven't been able to find too much content on the web about it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forwardthinker:
We have a custom device running Android built for our proprietary video recording application. The device has a custom board (SOM). We needed boot up customization and integration of additional sensors, so it is running Android that was compiled from the AOSP base and customized to our needs.

There are a few bugs that we are experiencing:

1. Device boot randomly fails. Upon restart everything works fine.

2. Display is randomly corrupt upon boot. Restarting the device fixes the problem.

3. Device boot fails if USB is connected during reboot.

4. Device reboots randomly in idle mode.

We would like to hire an experienced Android developer that can fix this for us. For an experienced developer, this should take no more than a couple of days. Our need is immediate and we will pay well for a completed job.

If you can recommend a professional developer or company that can do this, that will be appreciated too.

Thanks,

How long will the note 3 live?

The reason i am asking is because with all these new hardware and new android updates, i feel my privacy is withering away, and am pretty much in absolute authority and control of my current note 3 (4.4.2 kitkat).

i.e there is no way in hell i am buying a phone with a fingerprint scanner or use a software that isnt compatible with xposed modules like xprivacy.

So how long can i keep this phone, be up to date with high-specs requiring apps and also have my privacy at the same time?:confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
How long will the phone live depends on your usage and luck. It might last three years, four years, five years, no one knows.

You can understand that what hardware is latest, what's not. Note 3 N9005 uses SD 800, while SD 810 is the latest. And does that matter to you? Again, depends on your usage, I mean if you always want the latest and greatest then Note 3 is slightly behind the line, but if you are just an average user then well, its still a great phone.

If you like KitKat (you should because its stable) and as you said Xposed compatibility etc., then keep the phone as long as you can. No one has the right to play with our privacy, totally with you there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Hardware wise, for regular use it'll hold out very well for at least 2 more years.

With proper management (debloating, custom launcher and proper care) 3-4 years.

You may need to replace the battery at some point though. Those don't last that long.

I've got a 2.5 year old S3 that still runs smoothly in everyday use. And that's the 1GB RAM Exynos version. Considering that, a 3GB RAM Snapdragon 800 device will last at least 5-6 years before it starts struggling to keep up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenny1991:
Then maybe a feature phone is safer. Without updates it gets boring. You can use custom roms so you don't need to have fingerprints stored or don't use that feature. There is always a privacy risk nowadays no matter what android you use. Old versions may be at risk as the newer versions get updates etc. You don't have to worry unless you do some "rare" things. Who cares what game you play or which movie you like. For usual people it doesn't matter unless you are sure that your privacy is misused. I was thinking same before but don't care about small things as life will be more tough and i would worry about apps..... Love life instead ^^
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmix:
It will last loong

My first android was Samsung galaxy I which lasted until note 3 showed - featuring big support from a lot of people who made that phone blazing fast apart from official ROM which was horrible - it lasted loong. For the same thing Note 3 will probably last as much since no significant improvement will be made with future phones.

This phone is feature rich and powerfull, it has really big community and a lot of users. Apart from the hardware related features any software changes can be ported from future phones to this one. And as it gets older it will only be less buggy than freshly new phones.

Well this is my point of view at least and i think i will stick to this baby for as long as it works and boots up! (unless 4k becames standard as 1920x1080 is now that way i might reconsider my view).

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Updated to lollipop and it still runs like a champ. Kitkat is even more stable and kinda feels more practical as well, especially when opening the recent apps menu where you have to wait an eternity.

3gb of ram and a snapdragon 800 should have no problems for at least 2 more years. After that there will probably come other games or apps with higher requirements.

Recently got my Gear S and very happy with it.

For my purposes, a killer app would be one that gives me a GPS position from the internal GPS in a variety of formats but most critically British Ordnance Survey grid reference (which can be extrapolated/calculated from Lat/Long).

Actually, what I really want is Memory Map or (better still) MM Tracker for the Gear S, but I think it unlikely these will come along so I'll happily settle for the above.

Anyone know if such an app exists? It's beyond me to write it, but it feels reasonably straight forward, anyone up for a shot at it?

I can pick a new phone shortly and i was wondering or you guys have any good picks and/ or experience with the phone brands i'm currently looking at.

Why do we only have HTC phones on these forums.

I am busy in loads of these forums as i have a

Alpine

Magician

Universal

Hermes

Trinity

Typhoon

Tornado

Vox

but i also have a Samsung I320 and a Samsung I600

There is stuff in the Dash forum about the I600 so i feel there is a demand, maybe we should have the option to poll for new phones or something.

I mean lets face it there arent that many windows phones that are not made by HTC and all windows phones whatever make are relevant to each other.

Cant we have some of these as well.

Look, this forum supports monopoly. Specifically Windows Mobile and HTC, if you're not down with that, then you can just take your free market free thought views elsewhere!

Im joking above, and whilst its unlikely a website thinks too far into the future as HTC looses its market share and more windows mobile devices roll out, perhaps even this year, I belive we may see the beginnings of a more diversified forum.

The imate ultimate series, Gigabyte devices and O2s latest non-HTC offerings will all be popular WM6 devices, that to exclude will most likely just generate a plethora of postings in the general sub-forum.

Actually why not use the Xda developers brand to develop a sister forum that caters for these specifically non-HTC phones, but pumps some ads on the site owing to the relative ad-free forum experience we have here.
