[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
I have a Huawei p30 phone with last security patch received in august 2020, not rooted and never been in strangers hands.

This crazy psycopath woman has been stalking me badly for a year, but then in september 2020 she shared a weird (fake) video with the image of a pixeled pony on my Facebook page. I clicked on it but strangely it won't open. Few hours later this crazy woman deleted the fake video and begun to write me about things I said privately to a friend via Whatsapp! and in the following months she started insulting me with fake Instagram profiles every time I chatted privately with other girls, making fun of the things I wrote to them. She seems to see everything on every social network! And even when I took a picture with a girl that I never shared but only had privately in my gallery, she reacted to it by insulting me!

I don't know what kind of trojan or RAT is this but I would like so much to get rid of it!

1) Can you guys tell me how can I get rid of this RAT? I've already searched with Kaspersky, Malawarebytes, Avast for Android but they can't see a damn thing.

2) Can I put my sim card with my whole whatsapp (and related backup messages and contacts) on a new device or I am going to risk?

3) Can I keep my Gmail and Instagram accounts by disconnecting them from the hacked device and changing passwords from a new device?

THANKS

Personally don't think your phone got infected by a RAT and/or Trojan: this type of malicious software requires root-access get granted to it.

IMO your issue is related to the social media you make use of, the method you login there, the passwords you use with this accounts.

You know that FB, WA and Instagram basically are ONE company, that your related account details get shared between them?
[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
If you look around over the Internet there is PLENTY of new generation RAT trojans that take root permissions of Android phones with just one click. Some of them are called drive-by download, they use a buffer overflow mechanism. Off course you need security holes for this to happen, and Huawei is very very exposed to this, they never release security patches! Even the police officer I talked to when I filled the complaint told me that they see many cases like these. It's absolutely possible.
[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
I want to say one thing to the one guy laughing underneath my post. ALL of my accounts were protected with double step autentication (2FA) and just yesterday, my phone received a series of notification about a Google chromecast device that was connected to my Huawei p30. I even got the last notification saying "you succeded connected google chromecast to your device". Now tell me how this is even possible, because I never had a google chromecast device and I was at work the whole time! Looks like there's a clone of my p30 smatphone out there. Do not aswer if you have no clue about new hacking programs.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
1. Make sure that you have finished a full data backup.

2. Do a factory reset + wipe cache.

3. Change your passwords ASAP.

Just for your reference.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
A side remark dedicated to visitors here who don't know what a RAT is:

A RAT ( read: Remote Administration Tool ) is an Android app that always runs as an Android service, what gets started at Android's boot. It has initially been developed as an university project. A RAT consits of a client module ( the mentioned Android service ) and a server module located somewhere outside of Android device, reachable via Android's network connection.

A RAT's client module only can get installed on Android devices with unlocked bootloader, AVB disabled and rooted Android. It's the user - and ONLY he /she - who allows a RAT service to get installed on Android

​

These are a RAT's functionalities typically available

Get contacts (and all theirs informations)

Get call logs

Get all messages

Location by GPS/Network

Monitoring received messages in live

Monitoring phone state in live (call received, call sent, call missed..)

Take a picture from the camera

Stream sound from microphone (or other sources..)

Streaming video (for activity based client only)

Do a toast

Send a text message

Give call
[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
About the backup: can I just connect the hacked phone (offline) to a clean PC to transfer my files? I am afraid I'll transfer also the rat this way!
[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
So you are basically telling everyone that when FBI is live monitoring your smartphone, that's because you CHOOSE to ALLOW a RAT service to get installed into your smartphone? I never ever allowed this thing to install inside my phone, all I did was to click on that fake video! and things like this, to mutuate the words of the police officer I talked to, do happen all the time!
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
My last 2 cents here:

If someone ( like FBI employee, spouse, life companion, etc.pp ) wants to monitor everything on your Android phone not having your phone in hands, wants to access your phone's data not having your phone in hands, he / she must install a monitoring app or RAT software ( e.g. AndroRAT ) on your Android phone. Point.

Have a nice day.
[General Questions and Answers] Columbus93:
I'm positive with what you say, but I'm also saying that this monitoring app CAN be disguised as fake video or image, thus by clicking on it you will inadvertitely launch a series of payloads that will root and then hack your phone. This is a fact. It happened to me and if you give a look online you'll see how this works and how many apps are doing this (obviously you need HUGE security holes in your device to do that, and older Huawei devices, which are rarely updated, do have them).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vgopal:
registry editor
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tarantulus:
as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)

HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tarantulus:
you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Ok, I was able to get this far but how do I get to changing things on the phone registry? It seems to bring me into my desktops registry. Im really computer stupid, bare with me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sergio PC:
Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.

You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.

Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.:)

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor

if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install

to the pda

if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there

but as stated if you dont know what you're doing

messing around with the registry is not adviced
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.

Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.

ie:

Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"

Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)

AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)

HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0

Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel

Value = PressureThreshold

Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal

Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked

Enable Better Power Management

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class

Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class

Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class

Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)

Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kien:
Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ssn04:
I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HyperM3:
I didnt realize it was obnoxious. I was trying to reiterate my confusion in an extreme fashion. Sorry if I offended anyone.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Samsung DeX works great as many of you may already know -- by itself, on Windows, and good enough on macOS.

Samsung Flow is only available on Windows right now and it is borderline fantastic IMO. Some glitches here and there in the screen control app (Smart View), for example the physical keyboard MAY be non-functional while the touchscreen one works fine.

Other than that, Samsung Smart Switch (the backup app) is great as a standalone thing as I described here: https://xdaforums.com/t/pleasant-experience-with-usb-c-hub-and-external-hard-drive.4292421/

However, Samsung Smart Switch sucks on macOS and Windows. Absolute trash, IMO. First off, I think Apple may be blocking or slowing down the approval of the app on macOS's latest version from what I can gather. Other than that, the Windows version may have some glitches in it that are seriously slowing it down. The direct method of backing the data to an external drive is best. Copy it off the external HDD if you like.

Also, MS YourPhone/Link-to-Windows is okayish but nothing compared to the speed and stability of Samsung Flow. In fact, Your Phone is quite possibly a battery hog, though I'd have to investigate further. Samsung's model with Samsung Flow is near-perfect.

another tablet i've found while cleaning out old stuff is the Acer Iconia Tab A500.

It's has an ok screen, but terribly slow.

Anyone can suggest a ROM i can flash?

or other usages I can do with this tablet?

I've thought of android auto since the screen is quite big, but it's too old and doesn't support it.

Hi, so I wanted to install root and I first tried to install twrp but that didnt work, after i tried to install root in the magisk app itself and that didnt work too, heres the log:

- Device platform: armeabi-v7a

- Installing: 23.0 (23000)

! Installation failed

- Copying image to cache

- Unpacking boot image

Parsing boot image: [/data/user_de/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/install/boot.img]

! Unsupported/Unknown image format

! Installation failed

Does anyone know why this is happening? Please help me I want to install root.
[General Questions and Answers] Tulsadiver:
One of the most common ways is to patch a stock boot.img.

Place boot.img in sdcard. Open magisk app. Select "install magisk". Select "patch boot image" then, " let's go". Patched boot image will be in download folder. Put it on your pc and rename to just magisk_patched.img Boot into fastboot mode. "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img". Then reboot.

I don't know what phone you have but this is the way lots of phones achieve root.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparklingtube:
Well I can't go on my laptop and where do I get my ****ing boot image from
[General Questions and Answers] Tulsadiver:
The boot.img can normally be pulled from a copy of your phones firmware. You might inquire on your phone's xda forum, if there is one. Someone might share it with you.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparklingtube:
Ok

[Mogul, XV6800 General] glawton:
I have two issues with my xv6800 dealing with 802.11 (wifi).

1) when I turn the phone off, the email sync does not work on the timer interval set in the email settings. I work in a metal building that has very limited cell coverage, but does have wifi. I would like for the wifi to sync on the regular programmed schedule.

2) I connect to a WPA2-TKIP-PEAP network. The network is configured properly and I can sync my email, but sometimes when the device wakes up and tries to automatically connect to the network, it will prompt me for my username and password. The username is cached, but the password gets lost even with the "save password" toggle button set. This is rather annoying since I'd like for the device to automatically wake up at a set interval and sync the email. This issue is intermittent, most of the time the device wakes up and connects without the pasword prompt.

Note: A resolution for item #1 above was to write a custom C++ application that uses the CeRunAppAtTime function to wake the device up at a set interval. This works except for when issue #2 above occurs.

Any suggestions?

Hi,​

I Searched through xda and telegram and when i finally find a kernel I like turns out it either messes up gcam or bootlops stock.I am not into customization i want it for the performance, and getting rid of emmc bug. As I looked around turns out most of performance enhancment comes from the kernel of the stock rom, and i like my ui the way it is, and don't have the space to backup all files on the phone before the clean flash.

Do you know such of kernels by chance?

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nebrassy:
Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Key Features:

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

Onscreen keyboard

Easy selection of internal/external storage

In addition to the above new features, TWRP features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe, and run a backup.

We are looking for other talented developers, themers, and device maintainers if they are interested in helping with a free, open source project.

Source Code:

GitHub - https://github.com/TeamWin/android_bootable_recovery

Gerrit Instance - http://gerrit.twrp.me

If you have made your own TWRP build for an unsupported device, please let us know. We might add your build to the list of unofficial builds. Bear in mind that we are working hard to add more devices and we may add your device to our official build list later.

Hello, this is TWRP, for Oneplus 9/Pro

Installation:

1. fastboot boot twrp.img

2. go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP

3. after that is done, if you were using a custom kernel, reflash it now

Updating to a newer build:

@Nebrassy I'm getting a multi-coloured white noise image when booting from fastboot (Step 1 in installation)

Currently I have LOS recovery due to installing current version of crDroid, should it be a different process for us? I was also on OOS 11.2.6.6 beforehand as 11.2.7.7 isn't out for EU (LE2123) yet.

i.e. fastboot flash boot TWRP-3.5.1-lemonadep-Nebrassy.img

(Kind of wary of doing so due to the white noise image but that's how LOS recovery was applied for crDroid instructions)

(Also was it you getting N7 BADA to search testers?)
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Red Prez16:
I did and nothing still.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Nebrassy:
The noise thing happens only on some devices, only Oneplus devices and I still have no idea what the cause could be, it seems to go away when twrp is flashed

And no, never flash twrp to boot that way, only fastboot boot and let twrp install itself with the options given

And yes, that was me

Would I be able to flash TWRP with LOS in that case?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] infamousvincci:
Im on eu 11.2.8.8.

Instead of flashing the twrp, i just tried booting it hoping to delete some of my magisk modules. And i can say that yes it is unable to mount storage and system.
