[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmilioDallaTorre:
I’m not sure whatsapp you have done, but I can say that it should be normal. The first ASUS logo, I think, is loaded by the Google alert of a modified / unsigned system partition, and the second is loaded by the ASUS bootloader.

My Zenfone do it as well, but is not a question of flashing more than one splash screen, I’m sure.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mixalhadas:
U

Ahah thanks for the information, it must be as you say..

But, is there any way to remove them?

I think that it is possible to remove the warning, downgrading and upgrading all over again..

I have tried to remove the img files, but they come up again after reboot.

If there are commands to flash them, i think that there must be some sort of command to "unflash", or some file i could eddit, so the OS does not require to load them.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Hi all,

I got my LG G4 H815 phone infected with a remote access trojan. I believe it was binded to an image, and came through the Kik app, as I havn't installed any APKs on it (I recently flashed the stock image). It all started by some guy on kik who I met in a hacking group, and he sent me a fully black image, I clicked it, and ever since, I monitored the outbound and inbound connections and found some suspicious connections. The guy admits he can see what I am doing and see through my camera even. Luckily I dont have it rooted, so the trojan can't access administrator privileges. Would flashing the stock firmware clear the malware?

And can someone please look into the vulnerability that allows for executable files to be embedded into images, and sent?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjkrisa:
Install twrp and formate everything I had same issue but from an app

He can remote root it and make the phone look u rooted from normal means that also I had I would try to use root apps to check but Android pay would detect root
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Thank god this model of the G4 has an unlocked bootloader, and can therefore install TWRP. Now what would be the situation for those with locked bootloaders?

I installed Android Pay, I can login to it, and come to the step where you add a credit/debit card. Is this a good sign?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
the best way to have clean phone is using KDZ and refurbished option
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Easier method may be to install Malwarebytes for android available on Play Store. Take note on this information from the Malwarebytes site (https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threats/remote-access-trojan-rat/):

Remediation

Remote Access Trojans are covert by nature and may utilize a randomized filename/path structure to try to prevent identification of the software. Installing and running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit will help mitigate any potential infection by removing associated files and registry modifications, and/or preventing the initial infection vector from allowing the system to be compromised.

Aftermath

Remote Access Trojans have the potential to collect vast amounts of information against users of an infected machine. If Remote Access Trojan programs are found on a system, it should be assumed that any personal information (which has been accessed on the infected machine) has been compromised. Users should immediately update all usernames and passwords from a clean computer, and notify the appropriate administrator of the system of the potential compromise. Monitor credit reports and bank statements carefully over the following months to spot any suspicious activity to financial accounts.

Basically, you could be seriously screwed ... and have a lot of work to do to overcome this. LOL
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjkrisa:
That's why in my experience formating all storage is easier to get rid of the trojan or if you have warranty find a reason to send it in and they will send you a different one
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vuska:
How does this trojan work ?

As a background process ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Easier and a loss less hassle (no data loss), is to use a good anti-malware/anti-virus program to remove the infection and associated entries e.g., Malwarebytes or Norton Security Mobile. However, doing it your way is also a good solution ... BUT ... it does not solve the most important issue in and of itself, namely: any personal information (which has been accessed on the infected machine) has been compromised. Users should immediately update all usernames and passwords from a clean computer, and notify the appropriate administrator of the system of the potential compromise. Monitor credit reports and bank statements carefully over the following months to spot any suspicious activity to financial accounts. Simply formatting the storage does not take care of this, does it. eh ... ?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjkrisa:
You are right that you must use a uninfected pc or device to update/change password

But using a antivirus may catch most viruses but there are still ways to not be detected as issue I had with my last run in I had antivirus installed but probably after infection.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Logging in to Android pay is first and foremost not smart ... and entering your credit/debit information would be even less smart, i.e., Dumb and Dumber. Change your Google account login and password IMMEDIATELY!

Locked bootloaders do not prevent you from removing malware, whatsoever. Give your head a shake.

It looks like you ran into a bigger BADASS than you purport to be ... LOL.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ----------

Depends on what anti-malware/anti-virus program you are using ... I use both that I mentioned (Malwarebytes and Norton Security, premium versions) ... they are top rated and very effective. I also scan ANY download BEFORE I install it - just common sense in today's world!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Thats why I asked before signing into google pay, whether I have come far enough to distinguish. I never EVER put banking details on my phone. Also, I'ts really easy to bypass antivirus if the trojan is crypted. Also even more difficult if its attached to a file as an Alternate Data Stream. I've tried all the possible antivirus software you can think of, nothing caught it...I have come to my last resort.. that is format everything. Also, you can't practically scan everything you download... especially images you get on whatsapp, kik and others. Once they are downloaded, the damage is already done.

Anyway, I learned my lesson, use kik and other apps where you can share media, on a virtual machine, NEVER on the actual phone. You know.. sometimes I wonder.. why arn't these messaging apps sandboxed properly???
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Yes I believe so.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Malwarebytes caught NOTHING.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
Yes but you cannot install TWRP and format the disk if you have a locked bootloader, right? All you can do is flash the stock firmware.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Of course you can install TWRP on locked bootloader.

Check TWRP-in-FIsH!

Just a note regarding Anti-Malware and your situation:

believe it or not but installing or using an antivirus program on an already infected system is completely useless !

the only chance to scan an infected system would be to do this offline (live system or within TWRP)... BUT the problem is this will not work or may not work for all malware because some of them can only be detected when the full system is running !

so the only chance to get a free and clean system is to completely format and wipe everything and to ensure that you are using a backup which is 100% clean when you want to restore something!

17 years in it security can tell you: No anti malware software can protect you 100%.

Even when you have it active and up2date all the time.

Even when you scan everything before extract/use/install software.

Even when you have multiple scanners (totally useless on the same machine but I talk about different anti malware vendors on gateway plus desktop)

Scan and clean an infected system with an Anti Malware software (even when done offline) will not necessarily mean that you are 100% clean.

The best anti malware protection was / is / and will always be: ....

YOU (your brain)

Do not install dubious software.

Do not click on every link.

Do not open attachments which you do not expect to get (even when the sender is your friends address! keep in mind that he can be infected!).

.. or just simply: Use your brain before clicking ;)

Anti malware software is only

a LAST RESORT

and

NOT

your main protection!

That's what the most humans forget or just do not (WANT TO) know.

This is the same for smartphones or desktop PCs and just to keep you scared there is a chance that even when you wipe everything that you are still infected.

on desktop PCs there is for example BIOS malware available which cannot be removed by just formatting your system. the same is possible on Android but well I haven't seen it yet... (that doesn't mean anything though).

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIG_BADASS:
I unlocked my bootloader on my H815 but I'm too scared to install TWRP.... if I just flash the stock kdz file, will it clear the malware?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
You were more than once made aware of TWRP-in-FiSH, a customized TWRP version for those with locked bootloaders. I make regular backups with TWRP-in-FiSH and when I am confident the latest one I've made is clean with no issues detected on the phone, I copy them over to my desktop for a backup in the event my phone does get infected or bricked.

Ive got a A2017 on B07 from banggood.com.

Ive been following this thread and Im really stuck now. ( https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514 )

Ive installed the Qualcomm drivers,installed MiFlash and was able to flash the A2017U Fastbboot Unlock EDL file. But thats where Im stuck. When I boot in recovery,where I use to see the Chinese recovery menu then now i dont see anything other than a black screen.

What do I do from here?

The phone boots normally but its stuck on 6.01 B07 and I want to upgrade it to 7.1.1 .

From reading around then Im not able to upgrade via SD Card because of Google play being installed..

The link for the B07 Stock recovery I found doesnt work either so I cant try reflashing the Stock recovery either?

Anyone help? I dont want to keep messing around with it incase I brick it.

At the moment its still working but stuck on 6.01 B07

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
can't you try to get an A2017U instead? i guess it's a smarter choice considering there's much more development

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

I think that you can use axon7tool.exe to flash a custom recovery to it. You only need to put it in EDL mode and flash the image. Read if this is possible on Chinese version phones, it works on A2017Gs and it should work on other versions, but i don't wanna break your phone even more

If you successfully flash TWRP you can search for flashable system ZIPs like the ones DrakenFX and tron1 do for the G's and U's.

Another kinda safer and more civilized way is going to EDL mode and using something like the "4th category brick repair guide" from the point where the guy says that you are in EDL (You don't need to disassemble the phone, they do that to get to EDL when your phone is K.O'd). Essentially you download a A2017_FULL_EDL package, and you use good ol' MiFlash to flash it. You'll get full stock software (even recovery). I don't remember how the exact process was with a DFU'd phone, but you would only need to get to EDL, verify that you have the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader drivers under Ports com & lpt, then verify that the data rate is 115200 or 128000 (double click) (it can be in 9600 which is not good) and load MiFlash and flash the stuff
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] satish.yarramsetti:
Use Axon7Tool and flash the twrp image, then you can try A2017U ROM or U Can go for Lineage OS. ( Myslef A2017 with Lineage)

Another great rom for us ;)

Fleeing just a little bit of the topic, do you think of working with Paranoid Android?!?!?
[X Play Android Development] mizaj:
that would be nice:good:
[X Play Android Development] AnoopKumar:
I will try.
[X Play Android Development] K.khiladi:
This is in no way to offend you. I am sorry in advance if it feels like that to you. I don't know how to say it but instead releasing so many unofficial Roms, can you make only 1 or 2 Roms and give them official status by being their maintainer?

What's your view in this?

Like paranoid android needs device maintainers.

I would love to do that. But I don't have a PC, so that i can't maintain them regularly.

[X Play Android Development] Xadus:
I confirm, been on this ROM for 2 months now (achievement for me as no ROM ever lasts for me more than a week or two), everything was so great; but, updated on the latest version the bluetooth is no longer working, it doesn't start in the first place.
[X Play Android Development] Xadus:
I have no intention of disrespecting the dev, but Its been almost a month, are we going to get a working bluetooth build? This was my daily driver and apart from this no other ROM really ticks all the marks for me.

I would be grateful if we can get a rectified build.

I mean forcing the phone not to remove that one app from memory even if ram usage reaches its limit.

in energy settings, and you can force keep it too with the pin button in recent apps, its a padlock at least in b04 (a2017g).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MBMarcin:
It prevents app from being manually ceased with ,,Clear all" button. I'm looking for a solution similar what that app offers: Memory Locker
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
Lol. So you mean the padlock icon when looking at all open/recent apps?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MBMarcin:
No, because the padlock won't protect the app if RAM will be overloaded. Padlocked app still gonna be removed from memory. I want app to be secured such as Android OS, never to removed from ram.

Padlock will only protect app from being manually ceased, not by OS.
[HTC Excalibur] NorseLaQuet:
Hello.

I have just got my first cell: the tmobile dash. I have done some research and am under the impression that it is acually the branded term for the Excalibur. Alright; so it started when I wanted to throw in a microsd card. I looked around for the biggest one I could find (8gig) but have heard a few rather conflicting blurbs about the high end microsd cards in this paticular cell. Simple question: will it support it? I have also heard that you have to have windows mobile 6 or some sort of generic not-branded ROM in order to use them. I do have windows mobile 6... so do I still need to do the steps outlined in the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=327757

? If so its not a problem, but I dont want to go though all of that just to get back to square one with the thing. Another thing though: I custom build all my pc's and format all my laptops first thing so I dont have to put up with all the crap companies like to put on my stuff. So is this a similer thing? If it is that would be a reasen to go though with it in itself.

So my second question would be, are there any benifites to 'formatting' my cell with this unbranded ROM other then being able to upgrade the OS? Im certanly not computer illierarate, but as far as cells go I am completly lost. What programs will I need to reinstall, and which ones will be preinstalled?

And finally, will any of this conflict with the service I get from tmobile? Like I said I have no idea how cells work and the protocols and subscriptions, so I wouldnt know. Would it for example screw with the internet service I would like to subscribe to?

Oh, one more thing, WHERE IS NOTEPAD?? I was trying to jott somthing down on my phone today, but could not find any sort of notepad type application. I found Word, but I cant create documents with it (only edit I guess)...

Thanks for your time
