[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Franes04:
Serious security flaws that could give attackers complete access to a phone's data have been found in software used on tens of millions of Android devices.

The bugs were uncovered by Checkpoint researchers looking at software running on chipsets made by US firm Qualcomm.

Qualcomm processors are found in about 900 million Android phones, the company said.

However, there is no evidence of the vulnerabilities currently being used in attacks by cyberthieves.

"I'm pretty sure you will see these vulnerabilities being used in the next three to four months," said Michael Shaulov, head of mobility product management at Checkpoint.

"It's always a race as to who finds the bug first, whether it's the good guys or the bad."

Affected devices included:

BlackBerry Priv and Dtek50

Blackphone 1 and Blackphone 2

Google Nexus 5X, Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P

HTC One, HTC M9 and HTC 10

LG G4, LG G5, and LG V10

New Moto X by Motorola

OnePlus One, OnePlus 2 and OnePlus 3

US versions of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung S7 Edge

Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Mr Shaulov said six months of work to reverse engineer Qualcomm's code revealed the problems.

The flaws were found in software that handles graphics and in code that controls communication between different processes running inside a phone.

Exploiting the bugs would allow an attacker to gradually be able to take more control over a device and gain access to its data.

The flaws could be used to make booby-trapped apps that steadily gain access to a phone's data

Checkpoint handed information about the bugs and proof of concept code to Qualcomm earlier this year.

In response, Qualcomm is believed to have created patches for the bugs and started to use the fixed versions in its factories.

It has also distributed the patches to phone makers and operators. However, it is not clear how many of those companies have issued updates to customers' phones.

Checkpoint has created a free app called QuadRooter Scanner that can be used to check if a phone is vulnerable to any of the bugs, by looking to see if the patches for them have been downloaded and installed.

In addition, Mr Shaulov said Android owners should only download apps from the official Google Play store to avoid falling victim to malicious programs.

"People should call whoever sold them their phone, their operator or the manufacturer, and beg them for the patches," said Mr Shaulov.

Qualcomm has yet to respond to a request for comment.

No worries, mate, Google has seen the issue and will release a security patch for it (2015-08-05), check here!

We can only hope OnePlus releases the security patch as soon as possible, or you can just hop on the custom ROM bandwagon since they often have the patch merged day one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xant05:
Hi,

i send my phone down the river and probably killed it. backplate was broken and charging lid as well, there is no warranty any more.

i dried it for a week in a box covered with rice and tried to turn it on afterwards. No reactions on buttons, but after i plugged in the charger, the LED got red and Display turned on showing the "Sony" Screen. after a second or two LED and screen went black and the procedure started again. and again. after a few repetitions i put the plug away. so i didn't charge the phone any longer than ~5min and have not plugged it to the PC.

first question is if someone has encountered the same symptomes and can give a statement of chance to revive the phone. Second one is: Where to start? there are lots of guides to disassemble the phone, thats not a problem i think, i have all the tools i need and a little bit technical knowhow. I want to start checking the battery, pretty shure its dead. afterwards i want to check the board for signs of corrosion. but then?

grateful for any tipps, especialy want to know whats the real death sentence for a water damaged phone. after i have seen the screen working i thought main functionality is there and only the battery died.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
I would leave it plugged in and see if you can build up any sort of charge in the battery. It seems that changing the battery would be an obvious first step, if you can get enough charge in the phone to fire up the mainboard, then you will see what else needs to be changed. leave it plugged into a charger for 24 hours.

Do you want to repair it to salvage what data is on the phone or is it financial reasons? tbh the cost of new mainboard and battery, plus replacement back screen is going to be more than a second hand phone off ebay. If it's a science project then bravo, not enough people try to rescue thier old kit from the bin, but I'm saying there are easier options than pulling it apart.

Having never pulled a phone apart myself I can't really offer any more advice, but you might want to drop [MENTION=2581648]Chamelleon[/MENTION] a PM, as he regularly contributes with hardware fixes and knows his stuff.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xant05:
its more about financial reasons, data is all backed up. Buying a new phone should be the last option. i want to repair it cause i like repairing things and i want to make clear that the phone is absolutely dead or not. i dont think i would buy a new mainboard/display/battery if i am not completely shure that this will fix all problems. in this case id rather buy a new phone.

i am a bit afraid that if i charge the battery for 24h and still have a circuit on the motherboard i will completely destroy it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgesteve:
A week in rice in a warm place means there's no moisture in the phone.

The phone won't be damaged by trying to charge the battery and you need to find out if there's anything working from a full charge.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex190397:
I recently had a waterdamage too. I took it apart and i saw that there was some corrosion on the board by the display connector. I put the mainboard in isopropyl alcohol (you can get that in the pharmacy). I carefully cleaned the affected part with a soft toothbrush and let it dry for a while. And now my phone is back a life and everything works as it should :D

Good Luck!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xant05:
Well, turns out this guy is right. Phone is working after charging. Vibration is dead and there are some residues of the wather in or behind the display, but nothing else i can find now. i think i will still disassemble the phone, and clean all parts. Maybe i will replace the vibration motor, but i think i can live without one...

[UNOFFICIAL][D855][6.0.1_r72]ResurrectionRemix‬ - v5.7.4 [Nightly 07. Oct. 2016]

ResurrectionRemix‬ - v5.7.4 - Android 6.0.1_r72

Download official 5.7.3 is available here from 07.08.2016:

https://basketbuild.com/devs/resurrectionremix/d855

Download unofficial nightly build 5.7.4

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=91704

Important:

Before update the rom, check developer settings under CM recovery update. Go to settings developers options and turn off CM recovery update if you don't want to loose TWRP recovery.

If CM recovery replaced TWRP:

Disable Recovery protection: 1. Enable developer mode: Settings > About Phone > Build number > Tap this 7 times.

2. Disable CM recovery protection: Settings> Developer Options > Update CM Recovery > Uncheck

Then flash latest TWRP. After flashing twrp do not reboot to system! Power off your phone and then first boot into twrp and then boot to system

Other method with fastboot:

Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot on your computer, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install. More infos about fastboot: https://twrp.me/devices/oneplusone.html

Come from older version than 5.7.3: Clean or dirty flash? :-

Clean flash is HIGHLY recommended due to the newest security patch and introduction of thememanager service.

Dirty flash may work but If you run into issues , perform clean flashes. Dirty flash reports will be ignored

Thank you﻿

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HristovLaki:
So my nexus 5 was running android 6.0.1 July security update, and I flashed 4.4.4 factory image yesterday so that I can maybe root it more easily. However, after I flashed the ROM it got stuck on "four dots animation", so I left it for an overnight booting. It didn't boot up. I also cant access bootloader because when I press the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power button combination it just restarts the "four dots animation". My Nexus 5 now isn't recognized by my windows so i don't know what to do. If anyone has any idea please comment your suggestion.

Tnx in advance.

Lazar
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
keep holding just Power+Volume Down, should work. If not, let it fully drain the battery, then plug it into wall charger for like 30 min, and unplug it. Only then press and hold Volumedown and power
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rooted Droid:
Hopefully this is just a software issue because I had something similar to this before where it would bootloop at the Google logo and it turned out that I needs to get my power button replaced. Since yours has got past the Google logo tho and on to the animation, I'd imagine its just software and you should be able to fix it.

If you plug it into your PC while its off and it starts charging, you may be able to boot through to fastboot from there using the ADB & Fastboot Utility's on your computer, boot into recovery mode and swap the rom.

Best of luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdullah Akbar:
If your phone is stuck at bootloop. Easy fix is to mount system/cache again. See the following guidefor whole procedure.

https://itechify.com/2016/04/01/fix-failed-mount-cache-invalid-argument/

Hard fix is to flash the ROM again.

I had the same issue, first method worked out for me.

Best of luck.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After unlocking the bootloader, does it re-lock when the phone is rebooted into fastboot? When unlocking the bootloader, does it only take a few seconds for the phone to wipe the data paritions? If the answer is yes to either question, the emmc chip is damaged and the motherboard needs to be replaced.

Try flashing the older stock Google ROM image you can find and flash the userdata.img file last. Immediately after flashing userdata, use the physical buttons to boot into recovery and factory reset. If the factory reset can't mount or wipe the partitions, it's probably a hardware issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpsnjs:
I have ordered a replacement battery but I am wondering if there is something else that should be considered.

The LCD screen was replaced about a month ago and it was a battle to get the battery out. The battery was damaged trying to slice through the glue when the outer covering of the battery got accidentally sliced open.

After reassembly everything worked fine except for the battery would get to about 40%, then shut down after a notification that the battery was at 0%.

That percentage when it shuts down is getting progressively higher. In fact it can happen any time now.

I've done a clean install of the latest Pure Nexus, but there was no difference.

While it is on the charger, it never happens.

So do the XDA gurus think a new battery only is required, or might there be something else?

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dank hayate:
It might have to do with a certain chip thats gone missing, I don't think it has to do with a battery, i will look into it later. Anyway don't change the battery yet.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gizmoe:
The fact you know you sliced into the battery makes it pretty obvious. Damaged battery=battery issues. Replace the battery. Also if the battery structure has been compromised at all you risk being one of those people missing half a thigh because your Li-Ion battery turned into a jet pack in your pocket.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpsnjs:
I read your advice, powered off the 6P, swapped the sim into the trusty HTC S One, and will wait for the new battery to arrive.

Thank you

QuadRooter allows attackers to take complete control of Android devices, potentially exposing your sensitive data to cybercrime.​

Play Store link:

Check Point QuadRooter Scanner​

Alternative: QuadRooter Scanner (less intrusive permissions)

CM (and other AOSPs) will get patched, but Stock 5.1? I suspect the only hope is that Motorola will release something for Moto G (2nd Gen) Stock 6.0, meaning Identity Crisis 6 can be made secure.
[Moto G General] _that:
Why does a vulnerability check app require permissions for accounts and contacts?

Also, has anyone already created a universal rooting tool based on this vulnerability?
[Moto G General] lost101:
I don't know, but an alternative is available: QuadRooter Scanner.

It's early days, nothing so far - but maybe there is now hope for those CDMA users who want root.
[Moto G General] Penemue:
So I'm vulnurable to 5 "things" according to that app. This is a general situation and not device specific, right?
[Moto G General] lost101:
Google have said it's not really a big deal - more a case of a company (Checkpoint) scare-mongering to sell their software.

The Android feature 'Verify apps' essentially protects against malicious software if not ignored.

To answer your question, it depends on the device - the degree of vulnerability - but generally speaking most handsets are 'affected.'

Regeln sind sehr einfach: Zuerst musst Du Mitspieler finden (es reicht sogar eine Person). Es können Familienmitglieder oder Bekannte sein.

Der ratende Spieler wählt eine Kategorie aus und hält sich das Smartphone an die Stirn. Die Aufgabe der anderen besteht darin, das Stichwort auf dem Bildschirm zu zeigen, zu beschreiben, zu summen oder zu singen. Wenn der ratende Spieler das Stichwort erraten hat, schwenkt er das Smartphone auf die Seite.

Wenn er es aufgibt, klopft er mit dem Finger auf das Gerät. Das Spiel enthält 22 Stichwortgruppen. Sie sind für jede Party geeignet. Darunter sind: Filme, Spiele, berühmte Persönlichkeiten, Alltag, Superheroes für Volljährige usw.

Das Spiel kann auf dreierlei Art gespielt werden: Das Stichwort kann durch Zeigen, Beschreiben und Summen bzw. Singen erklärt werden.

Das Spiel ist kann in der Familie, im Freundeskreis und auf Partys gespielt werden. Spaß und Lachen sind garantiert. Man wird den Abend nicht so schnell vergessen. Das Spiel entwickelt Ihre Ausdrucksfähigkeit, kreatives Denken, sowie durch das Summen und Singen auch Ihre Stimme.

Tranalation:

Rules are very simple: First you have to find other players (it reaches even a person). There may be family members or acquaintances.

The ratende player selects a category and holds the phone to his forehead. The object of the other is to show the keyword on the screen, to describe, to hum or sing. If the player has the keyword ratende guess he swings the phone to display the page.

If he gives up, he tapped with the finger on the device. The game contains 22 keyword groups. They are suitable for any party. Among them: movies, games, celebrities, everyday, Superheroes apply to adults, etc.

The game can be played in three ways: The keyword can be explained by pointing, writing and sums or singing.

The game can be played with friends and at parties in the family. Fun and laughter are guaranteed. You will not soon forget the evening. The game develops your communication skills, creative thinking, as well as by the humming and singing your voice.

Guess the melody that is hummed by the appearance. Feel like a winner in a quiz show! Who am I - a perfect game for the whole family!

Yes, it was really useful in my previous phone. Anyway, for me is not such a big problem. If you press that button to access the last tabs, the first one that appear in front of you is the last one used. So, with a couple of fast taps, you're in your previous app, no sweep needed.
