[ZenFone 2 General] TwoPointZero:
In a series of two blog posts, the Google Project Zero team showcases how a popular WiFi SoC, Broadcom BCM4339, broadens the attack surface. Such SoCs generally garner little scrutiny.

This chip, found in Nexus 5 and also in Zenfone 2, also processes BlueTooth and FM Radio communications. GPZ also says it is applicable to other chips from this product line.

One of the vulnerabilities, registered as "Google Android CVE-2017-0561 Remote Code Execution Vulnerability" and tracked as Android bug ID A-34199105, allows remote code execution (RCE) on the Cortex-M4 based processor (32-bit Thumb2 ISA).

This particular exploit requires the victim having WiFi turned on, and knowing their MAC address (which is not particularly hard to do).

Specially-crafted "TDLS" packets trigger a heap overflow, further allowing code execution. Attacker does not need to join access point AFAICT.

Nexus 5's 6.37.34.40 is vulnerable according to exploit-db (and possibly won't receive a fix)

Here are a couple of version strings found in /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin on zen2:

4.21.40.134:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Crossbows:
Hello. New here.

I rooted my S7 G930A running Nougat 7.0 following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538

I actually found the guide somewhere else, but these are the files and instructions I used.

Rooting worked with no issues, and my phone works fine. Now I am interested in unrooting the device because of applications that won't work due to the safety net API knowing the phone is rooted.

I have already tried many things. There is an unroot.bat that comes with the files downloaded in the guide, but running that doesn't seem to actually unroot. SuperSU is still installed, and applications still don't work. I have also tried deleting the files using the ES File Manager, but I can only locate one "su" file which will not delete, and the superuser.apk or supersu.apk files are nowhere to be found. When trying to full unroot using SuperSU, I get the error "Uninstall failed!" I have also tried going back to the stock firmware using odin, but odin fails to install that as well.

Are there any current ways of unrooting that I'm missing?

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Also, if this helps my baseband version is G930AUCS4BQC2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Crossbows:
Okay, so I think I solved my own issue here. I was using the modified version of odin to install the stock firmware. Used the official odin and went back to G930AUCU4BQA6.

I have an additional question now. Since it reset the phone, any application that I made a system application is no longer a system app now right? But if I re-root the device, make the same apps system apps, and then use odin to upgrade to G930AUCS4BQC2 again it will unroot and my apps will still be system apps?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] DeadlySin9:
If you flash any ODIN file, it will wipe the system partition and then replace it with the one in the package. There's no way to get rooted system changes to persist through an ODIN.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] G-Man8776:
I recently updated my S7 edge to 7.0 nougat, and while on Snapchat I noticed something that's never happened before. I often snap my friends late at night in low-light settings, and I've noticed that my front camera has these horrific vertical stripes that faintly cover every picture now. They look like old-style scanlines and move around like them in-app too.

At first they were only in low-light, and and only on Snapchat as far as I thought. But now I've realized they're constantly there, even in the camera app, just barely visible in proper lighting.

I'm not sure if this is some new software bug, and if there's anything I can do about it, but it's very unsightly and almost seems like it's getting worse over time. This phone has had a camera failure before, but it was a long time ago, and I feel like it isn't connected to this new problem.

Any info at all would be greatly appreciated!

(I previously posted this to the S7 forum, but realize now that the S7 edge has its own forum).

It happens that now, when trying to root again with SUPERSU, Odin presents an error that never occurred: it seems to be asking the PIT to repartition ...

Has anyone had the same problem ... or do you know how to fix this to install Root?

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Fred98TJ:
I'm considering the XZ, however there are very conflicting reviews of the camera. Some show really nasty photos, some show good photos. I'm assuming some of this has to do with SW versions and I know the XZ recently updated to 7.0.

I can't tell anything from a tethered store display unit.

Anyone have any comments regarding photo quality?

Manual mode is fine for me to shoot in. I almost always use manual mode on my cell phones and also my digital cameras.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] nzzane:
I find it pretty good, the manual shutter speed goes right down to 1/4000, manual focus ISO etc.

In MM I did realise the camera quality was worse than in 7.0 - so they did improve it.

Photos I have taken have great colours, and can usually be edited quite well in lightroom.

Big downside is the no RAW support (Yet, hopefully they release it)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Fred98TJ:
Thanks.

Colors have pretty much always been good in reports. The main thing that some of the "bad" reviews have mentioned is the artifacts especially in lower light. The better reviews and pictures that I've seen online don't really show a huge artifact problem and some of the youtube videos show what appears to be very good lowlight performance using manual mode.

I knew about the lack of raw support and I've used LR for a long time.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] nzzane:
Sony has always been a bit dodgy with low light, but I have found the XZ really improves on that (Compared to ther Z3, and Z5) Manual mode really helps with some of that though (same as a DSLR though)

Another thing to note, the device unlocks super quickly, and same with the camera, good for those un prepared shots :P
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Fred98TJ:
Thanks again for the response.

I suppose that there isn't really any infor on their nrw 19mp camera used in thr XZs, nor have I found any pricing on it. At any rate it seems only a small upgrade from the XZ, with mostly the new camera and another 1 of ram
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Pictures are generally very noisy and blurry when its not in extremely good light (inside with the sun shining through the windows with the lights on as well) Video however is very very good. I dont use manual mode since I don't know what to do, but as a point and shoot I can think of several phones that do better and probably cost less. If you want to buy it for the camera, just dont.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] djgigi94:
Noisy and blurry? Do you have a xz? In my xz i don't have those problems...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Of123:
Thats strange, I hope I dont have a faulty hardware :confused: , however did you try to take indoor pictures and zoom in, you'll really notice the noise atleast, and if I'm not still as a building then it will also blur.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] cizkek_:
Sometimes the SW can overboard with the sharpening, I wish there was an option to disable it. Most phones probably have this issue too though.

I dont know if this can be counted as an issue but the lens on XZ has kind of a fish eye effect, So If you are taking a picture of an object and put it i the corners, it stretches and looks a bit... uh, unnatural? Because of this I try to make sure to center people as much as I can.

Some also say that taking pics in 8 mp mode introduces some artifacts because of the conversion algorithm (23mp to 8mp downsizing). So I use 23MP to avoid any unwanted processing.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] mediar:
I find the colors of the photos, taken with the XZ, to be very dull and way too cold to my liking, and XZ's Camera UI and Camera API have very limited manual controls set, unlike the rest of the flagships out there. I made a few photos with my old Xperia Pro and my new Xperia XZ for comparison, you can check them here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0u28226fxm9z27d/AADrU08TmvfIUtSbprgharT-a?dl=0 . I was very unhappy with the XZ's camera so I sold it one week after I bought it.

EDIT: you check this thread for more information about the limitations, related to the manual controls of XZ's camera - https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/help/enable-manual-controls-camera-t3580654
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] a_k_gano:
My experience, XZ pictures have a lot of noise (you can see that when you zoom in) when the light is not enough (and the phone is the one that decides what it means by enough :))

I am coming from Galaxy s6 edge + to XZ Dual, and the S6 is the winner in my comparison.

If you want it for the camera, I wouldnt recommend you to go for the XZ.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Atrax2010:
After I started using 4:3 full resolution instead od cropped 16:9 and disabled object tracking I very rarely see edge bluring and the photos in general are a lot better.

The "noise" people talk about in most cases is not really noise, it's a result of the image processing algorithm being too aggressive trying to eliminate noise even when there isn't any. First it sharpens the hell out of the photo to bring out as much detail as possible and then it tries to remove the resulting noise by applying heavy noise reduction. It's basically shooting itself in the foot. But, it really isn't as dramatic as some would say, you can't really see that effect until you zoom in really close. If Sony could find a middle ground, balance it out a bit, it would be perfect.

Sony's image processing has always been an issue for some unexplainable reason, they mastered sensors and image processing in photography a long time ago, but when it comes to phones it fails in software department, the sensor are the best on the market still.

It really is mind boggling, and they are aware of that, it's basically a software issue, it just needs some adjusting, why apply a noise reduction filter when there isn't any noise? HDR usually sucks as well. Then again, their DIS is top notch, the autofocus since the XZ is superb, the colors to me look great all around, low light photos are very good, specially in manual mode with adjustable shutter speed...there are great things about Sony's cameras, but usually things average user doesn't really see or cares about.

To be fair, the only time I see those artefacts is when I zoom in, not even when watching fullscreen on a PC, so I'm really pleased with the camera on Xperia since the Z3, but all things considered, Sony should have the best smartphone cameras in the world or at least be the top 3.

All that being said, shooting in manual mode is a different story, once you get a hang of it and learn how to use it, it can stand besides the best of them, easy. But that's not really a fair measurement, only auto modes, because that's what most people will use, and that's where Sony usually doesn't do that great.

The phone takes great photos, and I have yet to see a review that says it's a bad camera. It really isn't, it just isn't at the top few as it could be.

As for the XZs, currently it often produces lower quality photos than the XZ, depending on the scenario, it isn't a better camera, it's just different and has different strenghts in different scenarios. Plus, the slowmo gadget, if you care about that stuff. Other than that, there is no reason why it should be a better camera in average scenarios, maybe in low light because the pixels are bigger, but that's pretty much it.

If the quality of photos is your only concern about buying an XZ (or XZs, for that matter), you shouldn't be worried.

Hi folk,

I’m a really very-super-newbie (but I’m reading a lot of different posts… trying to fill the gap)

I wanna brick… ehm… ok, joking! I wanna flash my Kaiser with a Dutty's ROM.

I’ve got an ATT branded HTC 8900 (Tilt, isn’t it?).

Now my doubt is this:

Do I have to install a ROM specifically for ATT (Dutty's NewBuild Rom N0.6 +NETCF 3.5 AT&T, for example) with a specified RADIO (KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.14.09_CustomRUU)

Or

Can I flash with the Duttys DualTouch V3 Final ? And in that case, which radio do i have to use? KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.12.11_CustomRUU?

I saw in the RADIO section there are some limitations... regarding ATT.

Sorry, I know for you guys it’s just obviousness, but I didn’t find any post specifying which ROM I can and I can not use.

TNX!!!!!

You can use DualTouch V3 Final. You have to make sure to apply the keyboard patch afterwards. As far as the radio is concerned, read the release document. It should tell you that.

before you do any of that you have to HardSPL your phone, then you can flash ANY rom to your phone and not just the specific ATT rom. There are certain radios that will work with Duttys v3 for you to be able to have your sound and camera working properly.
