That is a certificate from RSA The Security Division of EMC2 of all the contents in the upgrade.zip file.

If we could read it, it would look like the one for web sites. For example, go to citibankonline.com and depending on your browser, check the certificate for that site.

They get those certificates from companies like Verisign or RSA to prove that their site is secure or belongs to the people they say it does.

Same goes for these files, all the files are cross checked between each other.

MANIFEST.MF and CERT.CF both verify the files by hash. CERT.RSA is the certificate that these files are legit and that all/some are protected/encrypted with the private key from google.

We can't "fake" any of these files.

Methods for hacking never try this angle. It's always buffer overflows, securtiy holes, hardware hacks, etc. AFTER they get through, software hacks is easy because you can bypass the signature/certificate/private-public key checking or create our own keys.

Sha is hard to crack......but nowhere near the hardest...but as of now it is pretty much out of the realm of a realistic probability......

As for the IPhone kernel....I am assuming the iphone used an older kernel or something of the like that was vunerable to exploitation...as of now the kernel the android uses has no publicly available exploit

What I wonder is if we could get an exploitable app running? But probably still need somekind of root access
[G1 Android Development] quedijo:
As afbcamaro pointed out, Apple put the root password out in the open.

Android doesn't even allow you to try to switch to root.

Honestly, exploitable app prob won't do it since the permissions are preset for app. Buffer overflow is proabably our best bet.

Speaking of, on the verbose log using addm (not sure, not at my computer) in the boot process, Bubble bash gets a error. Soon as I get to my computer I'll paste the error. Just wondering if anyone who might know, know if we might exploit it.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
As per Apples Mind the Device was never Intended for Applications, Jailbreaks Disk Access and so they might never had seriously looked at Kernel security. But as the community Jail Breaks allowed the Apps, Got the Shell Access later using Exploits. They Later on patched it.

Uploading Apples Firmware in Infineon chips is little bit easy also compared to Samsung NAND Ram and their Boot loaders.

Now who know There may be 1 or 100 Exploits in Android also. That only will prove that.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] AkechiShiro:
Hi everyone,

I would like to know if it is safe to unlock bootloader and flash a custom ROM under MIU 13.0.3 SKHEUXM ?

I've seen people having bugs, hence why I'm asking if anyone has given this a try ?

Furthermore, I was going to do this update in order for the firmware to be updated then switch to a custom ROM, but I could go for custom ROM first then flash the newest firmware (even if I'm more confident on the first option which should work out of the box, and preserve warranty in case something goes wrong during flashing firmware, always gotta keep fingers crossed).

Thanks for any help on this matter.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jadephyre:
If you updated to the latest ROM, your firmware is updated along with it, there's no need to flash the firmware again seperately. Flash the ROM of your choosing, Magisk if you absolutely need it, and enjoy. Most ROMs these days also pass SafetyNet if you do not root your phone.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] cyanGalaxy:
It's not very safe, you need to be careful.

Make sure your PC wouldn't crash or that your USB connection may be unstable.

Take your time in setting everything up and reading up some resources on the internet.

If the Flash-process aborts for whatever reason, do not reboot phone. Your phone may not be able to reboot back into Fastboot and turn black.

As for good resources of information, I recommend the YouTube Channel "Munchy". He covers Xiaomi Flashing very well. You can trust him.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDSfvwvAsKE4Nrosu7bTbJw

You might also want to use a Custom ROM with passing SafetyNet, or to use Magisk Root. If SafetyNet fails, you can't use some apps.

I personally use Xiaomi.eu Weekly Android 12 with Magisk Root + SafetyNet Fix Module. No bugs, I'm happy :)

My only wish was that I had Over-The-Air updates. With most Custom ROMs, you unfortunately still have to download & flash the ZIP-file manually in TWRP Recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Real Life Review] XXXxxxx1:
Samsung holds your phone hostage!

1. Blocks you from factory resetting your phone even when you provide your identity (You really have to go above and beyond to prove that you are who you say you are even with an unlocked phone)

2. Samsung stores your information and continuously uploads your information from your phone photos texts and all even when you disable items it reenables and blocks you from making changes in system settings

3. Tech support is not in the US in fact it isn't even in Asian perse it's in Indonesia or Pakistan and the customer service is in my experience not so friendly

4. The fact that you have to provide your full address, full name and date of birth for security reasons and it still doesn't count unless you provided every number you ever used with the device this is TRACKING You

5. Why is Samsung like Google so hell bent or survielence of it's users... You spend money for your device and they continue to act like youre an renter of the device instead of the owner.

5. My device is an unlocked South American device although I am in North America. Once I get this matter sorted out with Samsung I am selling off all of their devices Will never purchase anything from Samsung again. Also stay clear of Google, Microsoft and Amazon devices. So many things that I could say that are a security risk and a true risk to national security... The countires taht are at war with each other are also in cohoots together if you look at the security certificates on your phone. You attempt to delete, remove or disable those items Google and Samsung will diable your phone... block you from browsing the net, can block your camera, block you from doing basic things with your phone that you own. This is telecommunications/technological terrorism and warfare.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] GTT1:
So phone is not working because of 3g gone on AT &T.

All incoming calls go directly to voicemail. Outgoing calls take two clicks to enable.

I am roaming in US from Canada. My provider Rogers told me to switch network to T-Mobile. That works but the problem is network selection has one choice Automatic. When you turn off and go to networks then chose T-Mobile it works but the phone shortly after turns back on automatic and AT&T then comes back.

Anyone have a solution to this?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] rishimaxpayne:
I have a similar problem. All incoming calls go straight to voicemail. Outgoing calls and data service is fine.

I am using ATnT and Redpocket in USA.

Spoke with technical people at redpocket and they gave me new APNs. With one APN I started getting incoming calls but no data. They also suggested that my phone is not compatible as they are shutting down 3g service, but it doesn't make sense as I can still make outgoing calls plus with a different APN I can get incoming calls too.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] GTT1:
I don't understand the reasons why this phone will not work. Maybe it uses volte to make outgoing calls. When I first dial a number it just closes but when dialed a second time it connected fine.

Back in Canada and no problem here. When roaming in the US it worked fine on T-Mobile but the phone kept defaulting back to AT&T which is Rogers Canada primary network affiliate for roaming in US.

Phone works fine on T-Mobile but that will end end of this year when they drop 3G.

Am trying to get an answer from Huawei support but so far nothing.

Will post any info I get from them.

[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] HfTFranz:
Hello everyone! I just got my POCO X4 Pro 5G phone yesterday. I absolutely love using it to bits.

However, I noticed that while browsing through content on medium (40 - 50%) brightness, the phone does not actually go fully dark. Some parts are lit up while others are not. (On dark videos and imagery, it is noticeable enough to really bother me even on just my first day of use.)

To elaborate on my point, I have downloaded a completely black picture and displayed it on my phone.

I have attached the photos below.

View attachment 5562541

Setup. (This is the phone displaying a completely black image on my gallery)

View attachment 5562537

Lights off (Captured on my Samsung A50 normal mode)

View attachment 5562539

Lights off (Captured on Night Mode)

I have tried to capture it on video, but it is simply not visible enough on video to be worth your time. You'll simply have to trust that I indeed downloaded a completely black image and displayed it on my gallery. (I wouldn't be posting here for no reason if I was lying, wouldn't I?)

Anyway, it is worth noting that on both higher (60-70%) and lowest (0-10%) brightness, the issue disappears completely (e.g. the screen completely shuts off as expected.) but then some of it return on maximum brightness.

Now I can definitely use the screen all the time on these settings, but I also want to ensure the longevity of my AMOLED screen, and it would suck to always be watching content on effectively only two brightness settings.

I have tried using AMOLED Fixer apps on Google Play but to no avail.

Does anyone else have this issue? Do you think it is fixable through software? Should I return the phone to POCO before it's too late?

Thank you for any responses in advance.
[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] gmbhneo:
I am not able to reproduce this on my device. I've tried all brightness levels, no weird spots on my end. Maybe you should RMA your device. But let's wait and see if anyone else is having this issue.

Thanks for your input. I did find someone on reddit having a similar problem to mine, on his mi 11 lite. Unfortunately, the solution offered on his replies does not exist on my phone's settings (I can't find P3 anywhere).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/ouqbws

This makes me feel like it could be a software issue, and I'm really liking everything else about the phone so far so I'm still thinking twice about going through the return process. But I still have some time to think about it for now. Please let me know if you find a similar problem with a potential solution!

[Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G (peux)/POCO X4 Pro 5G (veux)] HfTFranz:
Some updates, I guess.

I sent the phone to a local authorized Xiaomi Service Center in my area. While the technician did indeed see and acknowledge my phone's problem (e.g. he did see the screen light up on a dark image), he says it is a probably normal operation for my phone. (Which I personally don't agree with, because again, AMOLED screens must be completely dark.)

They simply updated my phone's software and did not replace the screen, and did remind me that if it did go worse, I still have a 1-year warranty for the phone if it breaks. I really needed to use the phone to travel so I didn't bother bugging them more about it.

HOWEVER, while testing things on my own I did notice some possibly noteworthy observations:

- on the almost near to darkest settings, some colors of black become dark-purple/reddish (particularly when I use Spotify).

- when restarting the phone, I noticed my lock screen actually becomes more color accurate (in my opinion) for 1 or 2 seconds, then it suddenly goes back looking kinda washed-out.

From this, I hypothesize that maybe MIUI uses some kind of special AMOLED drivers when booted which causes the screen to produce the unwanted backlight. So I tested by changing my lock screen and wallpaper to a completely black image, then restarting my phone. What I found out was that indeed, the screen issue COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS on the first 1-2 seconds of booting, and then it comes back again after that and stays until I reboot the phone again. Also, I found that on the boot screen itself, the screen issue doesn't exist at all. The POCO and MIUI logo appeared with absolutely no screen backlight.

This leads me to believe that maybe this really is just a software issue, and I am hoping that if there would be a custom rom (because I doubt MIUI would fix this soon) for this phone, it would completely eliminate this issue once and for all.

Unfortunately, I also still have not found any solutions for the problem as well. I am planning to return this soon (to Lazada) if there's no update that would fix it (I doubt there would be). For now I am simply trying to find similarities so we could potentially point out the issue.

Maybe they are using a very cheap amoled display or it is really a huge software issue ..

Is your phone a global one btw ??

Did you try a custom rom or eu rom ??

I am afraid that this issue will get bigger and the screen is going to break or something ..

Btw why there is no gamut wide p3 option in the settings ??

Coming to you with a new information !

Go to settings to system apps updater..it doesnt have any white spots or any issue ! The black there is a pure black ! Please try and feedback bro ...

EDIT : the only possible solution to this in my humble opinion is that they must increase grey level in dark mode and let us enable P3 option in settings,i guess the pictures causing this issue is not 100% black so that's why it is happening.

A.w they should allow us to enable or disable p3 option since the device SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT IT.
