[NOT NEWS!!] ZTE & Huawei firmware sending your data it to Shanghai Adups Technology

Security company Kryptowire is saying that they found a breach in security and privacy of ZTE, Huawei and BLU phones.

Location, SMS, contact lists and more are sent back to the company that makes the firmware for these manufacturers, Shanghai Adups Technology Co.

This was "supposed" to be only for the Chinese market, but has made its way internationally.

Source article: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/16/us/politics/china-phones-software-security.html?_r=0

Another article that refers to the NYT: http://www.channelnews.com.au/secre...back-to-china-found-on-huawei-and-zte-phones/

I'm about to buy an Axon 7 and I thought I'd share this with you for your thoughts.

There's no word on the net about which specific phones, models, firmware versions are affected.

I'm quite annoyed. Just wondering if there's any way to get passed that if in truth it does affect the Axon 7 model I end up buying.

Lol, this isn't Reddit. But perhaps should just be locked and closed by a mod if it doesn't apply to us. I didn't note any thing odd on my device sending data back to a place in through my network on WireShark. I'm almost positive as others have said, that it most definitely doesn't apply to our device. Especially if some one at ZTE is saying it, and some thing doesn't seem off.

Google is doing this all time with google services on Android OS selecting personal info from all users and even selling it to third party company.

That's how it makes most of the profit all that years.

Now even more aggressively.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horgenblorg:
I have a Windows 10 PC and a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 that I purchased about 2 years ago. Up until the past few days I was a very basic user. Just spotify, web browsing and some games. The most advanced things I did on it were install some apk files from the internet and make it so the screen was always on in the secret developer options menu. Up until Monday I had no intentions of rooting my tablet or doing any high level tech wizardry with it.

But the past few weeks I have been noticing significant performance decreases in my kindle. Apps crashing, screen freezing, slow performance. I didn't think much of it, I figured I just had too many terrible games on it. On Friday morning it crashed while I was using it and attempted to boot back up but with the [fastboot] text under the word amazon. It got stuck on this screen, restarting it just brought it back to this, attempting to hold the power button and the volume up button didn't appear to do anything either. Eventually after restarting it about 20 times it booted normal for whatever reason. After this it worked normal for another day and then it crashed again and booted with the [fastboot] text. I read up more on fastboot and various kindle fire issues and jammed restarts until it randomly worked again.

This time I when it was working I tried restoring it to factory default in case something I had done or added was the cause of these boot loops or whatever. I also went into developer options and turned on usb debugging since my reading made it seem like that was pretty necessary.

It crashed and restarted again Monday morning but it didn't get stuck in fastboot this time, it just got stuck on the word amazon. So I installed the various tools and drivers I have read about on here and I have been doing my best to try and make it work again. But as someone with zero experience with this sort of thing I have hit a wall.

When I first hooked it up last night I set the driver to the "adb interface driver", I got adb to see the device and I was able to execute some commands to it. I made it reboot just to see if I could, it still stopped at the word amazon, and then I went to sleep. Today I turned on my computer and adb will not find the device. Apparently something changed overnight and windows will now only see the device as a standard mtp usb device. I have attempted to force it to change with the "update drivers -> browse my computer -> let me pick from a list -> Have disk " line. But when I choose the kindle drivers or the adb drivers it tells me they are incompatible. Unplugging and plugging back in doesn't do anything. Restarting doesn't do anything. Attempting to uninstall the drivers doesn't do anything. I don't know what is left or how to fix this so I can proceed. And honestly even after I get through this road block I have no idea what I should do to try and make my tablet operational again. So I am in need of some guidance. Is there anyone out there that can show me the way or at least get adb to see my device again?

I've finally managed to install Cyanogenmod via TWRP

The SIMS work, the IMEI has not changed. But only in 2G.

So I tried to install the modem flash, again from TWRP.

The file starts installing. Then part-way though, the phone reboots.

Is the modem file wrong, or the flahing procedure? Or something else?

Thanks
[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adikri:
Normally it must be flashing procedure.. if you see your baseband number changed then it is installed succesfully or you can check updater-script inside that modem zip and the last would say "reboot = n"..

Then it's a normal procedure..

If you had read then title then you should already be rooted with the xposed framework installed.

Next search for an xposed module named Xtether

theres a link in the module download for motoX users to enable it by editing some build prop values.

HERES A FIX FOR THOSE ON MARSHMELLOW IF YOU CANT FIND THE SETTINGS.DB

so it seems that it has been moved and renamed in Marshmellow. So we need SQLite Editor which does cost some money on the google play marked, there may be others that are free that work, but this worked easily for me.

If you open SQLite Editor and go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and then its the telephony.db .

Tap on "telephony.db" and then tap on "carriers" and this is where you can add the ",dun" to both lines, "APN2 LTE internet" and "APN2 EHRPD internet" to enable tethering. Happy tethering :o

I have a problem with my Moto X 2014 - XT1095. Phone was fully charged and in the morning suddenly went off and wont come back on after that. I have been over 24 hours now without a phone.

I have tried to force restart and done external factory reset as mentioned here: https://motorola-global-portal.cust...prod_answer_detail/a_id/101072/p/30,6720,9197 and the same problem is still there.

When I press and hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time while plugged, a green light blinks briefly in the middle of the top speaker grill and nothing more happens.

This phone is about 6 months old. Can anyone help me solve this problem and get the phone back?! :crying:

Please give us some details. Which rom did you use? It was a custom rom or the stock one? Did you have an unlocked bootloader? Did you have installed a custom recovery or not?

I was having stock ROM, never rooted and no unlocked bootloader. This is a vanilla device and totally untouched.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_C30:
Using moto's charger, charge your phone for about 2 hours. After this time and while your phone charging, press and hold power button for about 3 minutes and see if your problem solved by this way.

Is your phone under warranty? I read that is only 6 months. Why don't you visit a Motorola Service Center?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliq:
well yes that's where I've got problems... bought the phone in the US and I'm now in the EU so warranty only works in the US. Sending it to the US is impossible because of lithium battery inside the phone ?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_C30:
I am more than sure that the warranty is global. Make a question at motorola but i think that i am right. The warranty is global not only at the place you bought the phone. They could find anything by your imei.

Do it, don't be scared!;)

Just make a question...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliq:
thanks I've asked already Motorola before I came here for assistance. They said it is having only US warranty. Motorola's warranty isn't global anymore unfortunately. I've to send the phone from here to the US for repairs - this is just terrible from Motorola.

Solved for me :laugh::laugh:: I disconected the battery for about 10 days. Then I conected it again and with the solution " press and hold the volume down button and the power button" but for about 3 minutes, and MAGIC

I've tried this like 5 o 6 times during 2 weeks but at first I only saw the green led on at the top of the screen and a vibration but finally it tuned on yesterday!

This problem was produced after two hard resets due to the hard battery draining cell stanby

But it is still possible, isn't it? Or is Android Wear simply closed source and impossible to be ported?

Well I hear it's because the 1st gen Moto 360 chip set simply just can't handle it or would most likely be poor experience. Plus I hear Motorola is trying to get out of the smartwatch game.

[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] MR.MEMORYLANE:
Man I've been having problems since day one. I've had it for a couple of days now and I'm so frustrated that I'm thinking of going back to my LGV10 and returning it back. At first I was super excited to open up the package but then......

1st problem...

Wasn't able to install the SD card and sim card. I kept on trying to install it but it would jump out of its slot and fall off. With the weight of the phone I had to also not just try to insert the cards but try to not drop the phone while juggling to balance it.

2nd problem.....

SD card doesn't read...

I have a 200gb SD I had on my V10 so I thought I could just pop it in and enjoy me some movies on this big screen and enjoy some music but Nope, it doesn't seem to want to read it and making me reformat it. I don't think so.

I installed a new one. Had to format it and thought I could transfer files to it and..

3rd problem.....

No OTG..... I didn't know that I tried to manually install some files and no luck.

Oh yeah I dropped it already also but good thing it was on the carpet.

I really really like the phone so I there's anything anyone can help me with I would be much appreciated .

Thanks and sorry I had to vent.. :(
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] doctahjeph:
This phone could be great, but it really needs some dev love. If it could be unlocked and rooted I really think a custom rom could make this phone really shine. Maybe in the near future. For now I went ahead and ordered the Zenfone 3 Ultra. Going to spend the next week comparing the two. If I can get over the lack of LTE and the Zenfone has better user experience I will probably return the Lenovo.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] VillaRegina:
I had a 7" display phablet. It had simcard instructions printed on the back shipping plastic. I kept the plastic on because it was a very handy reminder and was hidden by the case anyway. The way I did the simcard in Slot 1 and the sdcard in Slot 2 was to keep the phone flat on its face on a table. Open the slots one at a time... Install the cards... The table made it so easy!!! My simcard had to go into a plastic adapter to make it the right size and it was a real juggling act before I tried this - it also aids in not losing the teenie cards. They land right on the table. Now, it's possible that you have to put the phone on its back on the table... It just depends on the orientation of the card in the tray and the tray in the slot!!! Don't let that be the reason why you return the phone! Try it!!!

Another thing, I am not a techie but a few people here have mentioned that our old sdcard format doesn't work in this phone. They have (usually) purchased a new card (which I'm going to do once I get lucky enough to get this phone in my hands!) and reformatted it to work in this phone and then transferred the data from the old card onto the new one... I am not a techie so I am still going to research this different format... I still have some questions about whether my pc card reader reads that format or do I need to get a reader? Are a lot of newly released phones changing the sdcard format? Why would they request the new format? But I am not letting that stop me... I really want this phone. In my area the Chinese phones don't give good MMS text performance or I would be doing an ASUS Zenphone 3 Ultra!!!
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] MR.MEMORYLANE:
Yeah I figured out the card inserts & I also installed a brand new SD card. I format it to how it was suppose to be and I installed one song. Took me forever just for that one song. I just hope to figure it out before it's to late to return. Just want to be happy with it if you know what I mean lol.. Thank you

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Hello guys! So I found this article here about manually flashing a stock image to a Pixel or Pixel XL, and it says to ignore the other files in there, are those other files that aren't mentioned in this article used for anything? Thanks!

Article: http://androiding.how/flash-firmware-factory-image-google-pixel/

Pic of stock image contents: http://imgur.com/a/yJaFq

EDIT: Also, which partitions are there 2 of? Is it every partition besides the bootloader? Would you have to manually flash the files to both for a complete flash?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
If you have a pixel with a factory image,

You can wipe userdata, you can wipe system, boot, to try hacking, can switch a radio.

However, if that is all you do, the "random" partitions aren't changing so don't need to be reflashed in any kind of "normal" need to return to stock. You can just flash back images for what you changed as far as I know..

Flash all is just failsafe.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Alright thanks! My current phone is the Nexus 6 (Shamu) and I've manually flashed images to this thing many many times, so I'm used to the old Nexus setup. If you were going to completely flash a Pixel to stock from a custom ROM, do you need to flash the boot to boot and boot_b? Same with all other files? This dual partition thing is so new to me. Thanks again for responding!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
Re: dual partition questions and getting back to stock:

The same boot.img goes to both boot_a and boot_b

You're right about that.

I think if Pixel bootloader says you are slot A then system.img goes to A and system_other.img goes to slot B.

The system slots for stock may be different because stock Nougat on Pixel uses second partition to kind of sideload the OTA update. No "optimizing app" wait after updates on stock.

The other files are generally the same on both slots I believe, but as I said shouldn't get altered in normal flashing procedures, because they are not where the mods are planted.

Maybe in the future some ROMs will alter or overwrite these partitions and flash-all will be more appropriate or at least manual will get more laborious/ take time.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Cool thanks! How do custom ROMs work on these new devices? Do they overwrite both system and boot partitions? Or just one set of partitions? Sorry for all the questions, knowledge is power after all ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
As far as that goes it is yet to be determined.

Some are foreseeing two different ROMs in a dual boot setup while some ROMs may be built to use the secondary system partition for updates in the way that speeds things up like in stock use of dual system partition.

The only ROM as of last time I looked did not come with a kernel so you pick and has a directed procedure for getting root/etc.

All is changing fast ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
Changing very fast indeed. I just wonder how much of a pain these new devices are gonna be for modders and developers alike.
