[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
I recently had my phone disappear and reappear 3 days later while in hospital and when I found it back in my bag, it was NOT the same. It now has a double screen sometimes. It also does not follow the normal routes when try to use settings or download from playstore. There are alot of strange things I'm seeing in settings that were never there before and I don't know how to get the hackers out of phone once and for all and get my life back. Can anyone PLEASE help me, I am at my wits end. I'm disabled and rely on my phone for alot. I don't have a computer so if there is a way to figure this out with the hacked phone or I also have tablet but I think they have synced my stuff to some other phone or computer they have. They reroute my calls and stop texts and emails from being sent. It's ruining my life on a daily. It's been 2 wks and each day, they r deeper and deeper into my stuff n life. Help please??? 😨 I don't know if I'll b able to even get back to this site or page so if you have a way to help me, please put here and if don't mind, send to my email at hackedforlifechick2021@gmail.com so that I will definitely get it. Btw, that is my new email...I'm afraid to even sign into anything else on this phone. No matter what I try to do, they seem beat me to it. Hope someone can help me. I have Metro and Alcatel. I'm posting this July 2021 in case gets buried in posts. Really would appreciate help. Can't get around, stuck where I am and only have these 2 devices on same carrier. Hope someone has some good advice/help for me. Thanks so much. Hackedchick2021 ✌️

Eh

ehhhhhhhhh,

kinda scary if i thought

wouldnt want that to happen to me

hmm

can you check the recovery and bootloader of your phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Check your Google account to see if any unauthorized devices accessed it.

Have the firmware reflashed at a repair center. Then change your Google password and any other passwords that were on it.

Be wary of any data saved from that phone before the firmware flash which will completely wipe it. Best to not use any data or especially files saved from that phone once newly flashed.

You should always redundantly backup critical data from the phone for this and other misfortunes that can happen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
XD lol people are ignorant nowadays lol,

I backup with pitchblack frequently for a reason.

All the better for keeping ur bootloader locked after installing what u want
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
But let him check his own bootloader and recovery, if they installed a custom one he could just do it himself if he wanted
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
i wonder why a hacker would risk that when there is the zero day exploit and stuff and plus mediatek and the mail gpu have root exploits lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
(why i like using qualcomm)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Hi Kenora, thks for reaching out. I'm not sure what that means that you've asked me about bootloader etc. Can u explain it a little so I can try to do on my end please? 👍
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Is that something I have to go to kernel and unlock developer for?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
Turn off your phone and hold the power button and vol up keys
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
I have seen this "mediately" I think when looking around in the settings to see what was different in the phone. What is that exactly? Should I delete it?? Pls let me know thk u.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Ok then what do I do? Is that going to delete my phone info? If so, I need write some things down first. Let me know and what I do after so I can write down. In case phone shuts down. Thanks 😊
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
That was " MediaTek" but changed it. There are alot of things that say MediaTek and overlay or copy in the name in settings. Do I delete them?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
I have 0 clue as to what that is
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
No just tell me what it shows when you do that, no it dosent delete your data
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
No that is just your cpu name it is nothing but screenshot it and send here so we can see what it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Thank you BH, appreciate your help. Is there a way to see in my phone WHERE or WHO my info is going to?? Also what phone number is to this IP they're masking as mine?? That would also help alot as they're local clearly and have stolen alot of my money etc. Thks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
We will find that out just say what doing that key does

And tell me what it says
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
I will try but wouldn't let me screenshot. I'll try again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
K I'm gonna do the power bootloader again to see what says. Last time it asked if wanted to delete phone and reboot. I'll try again now. Hang tight. Hope I get back here. 😊
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
Thats olay just either tell us what it shows when you turn off your phone and do the key combinations
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
It is not doing the bootloader thing like before just turned phone on as though I'm not holding volume key at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Didn't do anything, just turned phone on like I wasn't holding vol key up at all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
And my phone getting hot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
Is there a way for you do screen record or send us a video with another phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
No

T sure I will check. What do u want me to record in screen, the settings apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
That was NOT sure. I will check. What do u want me to record?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
What you were concerned about
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
K I will try to record and post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Won't let me record or screenshot. There are apps say com.jrdcom.fikemanager.overlay with 0B used ever and other ones with that jrdcom. ... different function names...then overlay and always 0B used but then there are others without but app names with Bs used. The other ones with overlay come up with system only and I don't know what they're doing that they never use any Bs?? How do I know what is actually running and what is fake??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Also has about 3 phone 3 system and double and triple of many main function apps and they have different pics next to them some show with system and some not but all different ants Bs and most show NO data used at all so wonder how phone working without anything using data or bytes unless running my phone thru a companion device by the hackers because everything takes forever to load only after I've typed in and it's not as slow as it takes. Any ideas?? Where should I look in the apps or system to see if that's possibly what's happening?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Go to the police, talk to a detective with the phone as is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
yes i second this, i dont think we can help as this kind of is getting serious so.

The police will investigate and find out about who the culprit is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamm1975:
Man. So many bad peeps out there.😒 I would definitely contact police and turn yourself in please.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Ok do I ask for cyber crime or just regular police department? I've tried to call them but always get rerouted to some other number. Is there a way for me to see who is doing this to my phone BH?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
When I went there, they gave me a form to fill out and said I need to print what's happening to my phone and then they can help me with the hackers. Not having an easy time with that obviously. ☹️
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
I'm the one they're doing it to, I don't turn myself in, I fill report with someone there for them to find who doing it to me and my devices. Lol. This has been a traumatizing experience that hasn't ended and I am trying to fix...so yes, there are bad people out there and now I know how easily they can intrude my life. Sucks and sad! 😭
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamm1975:
In this day and age of information flow and availability we all need to have a plan of attack for this type of occurrence. Mine is 1) lock device and wipe remotely using "find my phone". 2) contact financial institutions and law enforcement, etc. 3) secure your email and all other important accounts by changing passwords.

I wish you the best as I know it must be tough and you probably feel violated and vulnerable. If I seemed insensitive its because we are constantly bombarded by people who think we are idiots and would help a stranger break into a device/account. Its not what we are about. We enjoy opening the full power of our devices we own and changing options, features, etc that honestly should be available out of the box to every user. Take care and I wish you well.

Also, this should not be too scary. Your bank will work with you and so will law enforcement. Its definitely an inconvenience though at minimum.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Jamm1975, Hey, thank you soon much, I really appreciate u keeping it real and giving me the lowdown what to do. I agree with u, more people SHOULD HAVE ACCESS to all the device options and maybe if we ALL understood them, this kind of thing wouldn't happen so much! I am going to implement your advice, but I have a question for you with regard to my issue....I am disabled, so when first started, I tried to use phone to call in and make report.... however it always rerouted my calls and whoever I tried to have come.. police, delivery etc, there would be a person who came but just like a webpage that is slightly misspelled, so would the person who came from whatever I tried to have come to house. This IS A VERY SMALL town and reaches must go deep and far, so not sure if they'll b able to get this gone for me but definitely must go down to finish the report, I just hope I can make go away. They're hackers have already changed codes, changed records, etc...wish there was a way for me to download or print or gain access to the script of stuff that's been done to me before deleting the whole phone again?? If think of a way, please let me know, thks. ✌️
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HackedChick2021:
Hey Jamm1975...I had an idea. What if I can duo vid call u guys with my tablet that I think is also hacked since same acct info of me, I'm sure they've figured out that too. Anyway, what if I duo call u guys and then I can show u what's up with my phone on the vid call. Then maybe Z and BH can see what the issues are and we maybe can lock the hackers out of my phone, even for a bit to download the report maybe in that developer part if u know how ?? Or at least figure out how to secure it because it won't do what u told me. It shows phantom gray buttons in different apps that they obviously don't want me to delete or engage to make phone safe. I went into the developer mode once by pressing the kernel a bunch times. I saw on internet once and I was able to make reports but didn't know what or which to reports to do or what to use or delete and didn't want to mess up phone. Do anyone of u 3 (Z and BlackHawk) want to give this a go maybe?? I need to have something to show them when I go to the enforcement. They gave me a.form and said to print stuff to show them but not sure how to do while this phone of mine is more in the hackers control. Can one of u do that with me and that way I can show u my phone screen at same time on the duo?? Please let me know, thks. Appreciate ALL OF UR HELP SO FAR!!! U GUYs N GAL ARE AWESOME! PLEASE let me know if that would work and when we can try? Thks. 👍🤞✌️😊
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduardvi995:
Showing here what your phone is suffering right now through a video might be a good idea, as long as you take the right measures when doing it. You have to record it with another device to avoid any kind of interference while recording, and it has to be in a decent resolution. You should record what happens when you try to enable developer settings or uninstall a suspicious app. You should also record what happens if you make the buttons combination to get to recovery or bootloader.

The most important things are providing a specific android phone model, processor model and actual state of bootloader, as well as root status if possible. If you can provide at least the phone model, maybe it would be possible to give you specific instructions to solve this situation practically by yourself.

I kind of understand what you are going through. My aunt also got her phone hacked some time ago, and it wouldnt even let her check messages or answer calls. I had to flash full firmware a couple times to get it to work again, but it still had serious security issues. Let's just hope you dont have to go that far. I'll try to help you in everything i can if it is possible.​
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenora_I:
just dirty flash the whole phone and if your backplate is removable check that, and inspect your SIM card for changes.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] internetadam4657:
what the OP is asking about is if its possible to port the zune OS over to a windows mobile application. i am nowhere near dev status but i could be possible assuming that the zune OS is based on win CE like windows mobile but i'm not sure how hard it would really be though.

i would love to see this too honestly but i think that something like this would have to come directly from microsoft since a project like that is probably of a questionable legal status.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xd1936:
Seriously?? We need a ROM dump like... NOW. How would that happen? :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] m.schmidler:
I think a ROM dump would hardly work on any device...Maybe its kind of locked too. I think the best thing would be to take S2P source code and start a new project "WM_Zune" or so.

Otherwise, if A_C wont release the sourcecode, there would be enough talented people here to to a proper Zune-like app.

regards,

Martin
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xd1936:
Well if "Zune" is just a program running on WinMob5, than if we got our hands on it, what would stop xda from cabbing it up like so many other "locked" devices? :)

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Daniyal48:
I bought a new Pixel 4 xl when I tried to set it up, it gave me a notification " Your device is managed by your admin". I tried to enable OEM unlock but it was grayed out. I updated it to Android 12 beta I don't see the notification anymore but still can't enable OEM unlock nor even unlock the bootloader.

I want to unlock the bootloader is there any way to do it?

The phone is carrier unlocked it accepts every SIM card on both Physical and esim.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
admin?

Can you check the device admins in settings?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] FoneWatcher:
Are you sure it's not an unlocked Verizon or T-Mo 4XL? They can be carrier unlocked but still be bootloader locked and I'm not sure if there's any way to tell by the model nbumber or IMEI.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
Hmm there is the IMEI will have VXN on it or the serial number will probably show it and such has it

It probably lies in the about phone settings
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] FoneWatcher:
Just as an aside, I got my 4 XL from T-Mo when they had a sale and couldn't get the bootloader unlocked, but the Soli chip went bad under warranty, so when I sent it back to Google, they sent me an unlocked (both carrier and bootloader unlocked) replacement.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
So oem unlock is disabled?

Have you tried resetting the phone?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] FoneWatcher:
No, I started with a T-Mo oem locked, but Google sent me back an oem unlocked replacement.

My Soli chip went bad after just a month or two.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Kenora_I:
Try resetting the phone then check that setting

Could be that google had some type of admin on that is preventing OEM unlocking
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Daniyal48:
No..I don't see anything like that.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Because you are BL locked the only two things you can try are a factory reset from recovery, and flashing a full OTA from recovery via adb. If that doesn't work, I'd be trying to get my money back.

Since your IMEI is permanently stored in a school or company database, the admin error will likely return when the device phones home (at first boot when wi-fi is enabled) and from the sounds of it, a policy has been set to prevent bootloader unlocking. That phone may be new to you but it is likely black market.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Daniyal48:
Now I understand the problem. I have tried the reset option and full OTA update in Android 12 the error isn't here anymore but OEM unlocking can't be enabled.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Yep. Looks like you were ripped off and will never see the full benefits of having an unlocked phone. Since it was "new" I would be getting my money back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Daniyal48:
Oh thank God I came to know this before I buy the phone for myself. The problem is actually happening in my Uncle's phone.

To anyone who can help me,

I am aware that to recieve the unlock code from AT&T all one has to do is call them up, say you are traveling oversees, and then give them your IMEI number and then you recieve the code. I am wondering, however, if it is possible to enter that number in the phone if it isnt registered or has a plan. What i would like to do is buy this phone, walk out the doors of AT&T and then call them up, unlock the code and insert my SIM, without having to make a plan for the phone with them.

-Thanks to anyone who can provide useful information
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nghiem:
Go to the att coperate store, not authorized dealer; buy the tilt at full price. Call them right there and ask for the subsidy unlock code. Normally, the rep will require a fax of the receipt which shows that you pay at full price if you're not att subcriber.

In the worst case, there are some solutions for you:

1, Return the tilt within 30 days and get your full money back.

2. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=361039 to get it unlock by yourself.

BTW, do you really want to buy the phone which is set for "end of life" in December?

I would probably unlock the phone myself, but due to the fact that i am not as tech savy i would not want to risk it. Also if you unlock it yourself, doesnt it re-lock with updates, where as the ATT unlock, unlocks it for good.
