Supposedly the checkpoint security app (not the app that checks for vulnerabilities) does not work well.

However, please get a clue about security vulnerabilities, see here: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-08-01.html

This article states that Google verify apps should block it's install

http://goo.gl/2Vs1wo

Google has confirmed that its Verify Apps security feature, which is enabled by default, will block the new Quadrooter Android exploit.
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
They could do that but they won't. Unless 7.0 is released this month, I don't see an update until the September security update is released.
[Nexus 6P General] charlestek:
So you're telling me if there was some massive new threat that could compromise most android phones, they would sit and wait a month just to be on the monthly schedule?

[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
They already have waited since they were made aware of the issue in the Spring. From what I understand, one needs to install an app from outside of the Play Store to be exposed and they also need to enable Unknown Sources" and also disable Google's security setting for "Verify Apps."

Making headlines today is the news about QuadRooter vulnerabilities in a large number of Android devices (estimated 900 million). I started this thread to allow people to report which current ROMs are showing up as vulnerable using Quadroot Scanner, and which aren't.

Running stock KitKat ROM (4.4.2) on my i9192, I can confirm it suffers from all 4 vulnerabilities (no surprise).

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
TrustLook just updated their scanner so now it gives the same result as CheckPoint

They have added a GPU scan because "since many QuadRooter issues are activated through Qualcomm's GPU driver" ....... You don't say :laugh:

l'm on CM13, 0809 build,
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
Updated to latest CM13 nightly 0816.

Now CheckPoint have updated their app also, result is now reversed with Check Point giving a pass, however it's not checking for 2 CVE's now. While Trust Look now fails 5340
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] csendre:
I believe there is a reason for that, scans for those two are inaccurate. Patches for both these were implemented a while back, yet they got reported as vulnerabilities.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] IronRoo:
Yes, you are correct, I believe. And that 5340 exploit one has been blocked by latest updates, so should not show as vulnerable in Trustlook.

Though I did come to the conclusion that at least one bug was not yet fixed properly as it's in the Qualcom OEM blobs, but our phones are safe as Googles inbuilt security checks will prevent exploit working. :)

Do you guys agree?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] csendre:
Yep, correct. Anyway I am never scared of exploits where you actually have to agree to run an apk, even if it does not require special permission. These are educational, will teach people proper computer use :)

[M.O.J.O. General] Clowngaming:
Got the mojo a couple of days ago, spend a couple of nights rooting and setting up Kodi. All going well. But then I decided I need to use an external Hard Drive due to the ammount of ROMs i will be using, and for easier access blah blah.

This turned out not so easy, Mojo wont recognise anything and then randomly crashed. I waited 15 mins, still crashed. No option but to pull the plug. But once I put the plug in nothing happens. I can see a blue light inside the unit, the HDMI switcher recognises it, but there is no blue light on the front and no signal on the TV. Seems it may be bricked...all I did was plug an external HDD into it.

Any tips to get it booted again or is it time to send it back? Ill be sending it back regardless if I cannot get an external HDD working, but thats another question all together.

Thanks
[M.O.J.O. General] Sweaty Palmer:
Try this button combination

Plug in an external keyboard to the USB 3.0 port, then press Alt+Print Screen+i, it should boot you into recovery, then you should be able to boot into System. If this doesn't work, just keep pressing Alt+Print Screen+i. The only thing that I think you needed to do before that is flash TWRP, If you didn't you are screwed.

This has been a great bit of info - thanks. I was stuck on a black screen on CM12.1 and thought theMojo was completely dead. Up and running again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] JmChile:
Hi all!,

I got my One Plus 3 last week and yesterday it completely stopped vibrating.

Its not vibrating when I receive calls, notifications, keyboard strokes etc etc

I have rebooted more than 5 times now..

Any ideas? I dont want to factory restore but it looks like the only option for now..

thanks
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] KyoouN:
Dumb question - did you accidentally turn on the phisical mute button on the top left of the phone? Try putting it completley down. If there are no vibrations whatsoever afterwords, you might want to try installing a vibration tester app. If it still doesn't work, chances are the vibration motor is dead and you need to get your phone repaired. I mean factory resetting might be worth a try but I doubt it will make a difference.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] JmChile:
yep I did try moving the physical mute button.. :(

I downloaded a vibration app and still no vibrations :((

man this really sucks, I live far away from china and I dont know if im going to be able to send my phone for RMA

I guess ill have to factory restore, but I dont think ill do the job :(
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] KyoouN:
I feel you man.. sucks sometimes. But when they shipped directly to you, I'm very certain they will take it back again..

Hello everyone. I apologies if this has been asked already.

I have a note 3 with verizon wireless and they make it hard for rooting devices or even a unlocked bootloader. Im grandfather in with the unlimited plan and would like to keep it. I wanted to know which model or variant of the note 7 should i purchase in order to be able to root and hopefully unlock the bootloader since verizon will lock the bootloader. In the note 3 CID needed to be tinkered with or you needed a developer edition phone. So far i dont see any sign of a developer edition phone. Please any advice is welcome and apppreciated. Thank you for your answers. :confused:

No word on root or unlocked boot loader. It may take a year. I have unlimited as well of you go to best buy you can pre order note 7 and don't have to pay all upfront you can do 36 bucks a month for 24 months, just need 50 dollar down payment they give you on a gift card. Also you get either a free 256 gb SD card or gear fit 2. There are no varients only 64gb note 7 verizon.

I have posted letters from ZTE.com.cn (ZTE China) that they do not unlock bootloaders and would not be unlocking the bootloader for the Axon 7, ZTE USA messaged me and stated that ZTE China does not speak for them and that ZTE USA was planning a big anouncement, once again dancing around the issue of unlocking the bootloader. After that response I posed the question, if they unlock the USA's bootloaders, what about the UK, EU,India or China and the rest of the world, since ZTE USA does not speak for them. I was then referred to their manager who wrote me yesterday repeating the same line. Here is his letter to me.

Dear Mr _____,

We thank you again for your purchase of the Axon 7 by ZTE. This is a follow up email to clarify misinformation you received yesterday regarding the unlocking of the Bootloader. Plans are in place to enable this function in the very near future. More information can be found at https://community.zteusa.com/welcome. We greatly apologize for the misinformation and any confusion it caused. We thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Unlocking the bootloader is something that must be addressed by the parent company and have a unified response globally. ZTE USA does not deal with global issues, only local ones pertinent to their region. But they keep stringing us along with this big announcement. Is this to prevent people from returning their devices? Are we being played? Sure sounds like it.

well, if you live in the country side, it's sure it's not really funny. For the rare pokemon, it was even worse in the nintendo game, rare pokemon were only available during special event held in Pokemon Centers, so in short only in Japan (the new york pokemon center is now a nintendo shop).

For the battery case, it's too old fashioned. Yes taste change quickly and not enough people that own a OP3 and want a battery case, not to tell that the design have to please you...

Better get a battery pack that have the size of the phone and use velcro or double sided tape if you don't care.

Out of the ten you are talking about, 4 are exclusive to a region so you could have the one from your continent and travel to get the 3 other. Only 6 that are not found yet and I bet Niantic will held some event. But I don't think it will soon, with mass shooting in the US and terrorist in Europe

[OnePlus 3 Accessories] athlone86:
I use an Anker 2. Gen. Astro3 12800mAh with the original OnePlus usb-c cable if i am off grid. It surly doesnt work with dash charge. But it still charges well enough. If you have a battery case you'll be plugged in all the time so it doesn't matter how "slow" it will charge because it will extend the time you can use the phone anyway.

So: I would be interested too :)... sadly i haven't seen one yet.
