I don't want to start the whole debate about CBR vs VBR, and what bitrates to use. But can someone tell me if they've run into any issues with incompatibility on VBR-encoded mp3's on their Fuze or on recent WinMo media player apps (such as Media Player, Kinoma, built-in player in TouchFlo3D, etc)?

I recall having issues on old Moto phones but that was years ago. It seems VBR has some qualities that will be beneficial to me, such as faster encoding, smaller filesizes, and adaptive quality.

Redmi 4x satoni(not rooted or flashed)

Is there any way to detect root by exploit, apps like Kingo root and king root and many other one click root apps do this kind of thing where they use and exploit in the Android system and root the phone using it and similarly a malware can do the same?

(I'm assuming this is what it is)(spear phishing)

Can an apk file really gain root access and rewrite your device's rom with a malware in it, is that a thing?

I have installed a third party app where it just disappeared into the background(most likely social engineering) and I tried all avs but it came clean even went into safe mode and settings and tried app managers and settings but all failed

Next I tried the factory reset and the symptoms still persists

Note that I have created new accounts and changed passwords and have MFA on but is there any way for it to reinfect because I'm using the same device to create the new account?

Like is it because it infected my google access or something to come again after factory reset

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
If you think a girlfriend virus is bad, just wait until you get married.

To answer your question....

Android is designed to be very rootkit-resistant. Features such as Verified Boot prevent unsigned/modified images from loading if the bootloader is locked; while it is possible for a malicious app to use an unpatched exploit to root the device every time it runs, any modificaiton made to any critical partiion such as /boot and /system would be detected, and the device would warn the user that the system is corrupted.

Since you've removed the app from your device and performed a factory reset, you should be safe. Good job on using MFA, by the way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
No I think I misunderstood there were two apps that I downloaded one disappeared into the back ground (which is causing more havoc) and is undetectable by android avs and i m having trouble removing(got from a sketchy link from my gf)

The second app was just an Instagram app follower which ran in the background and I could uninstall directly(got from playstore)

I want to know how to detect and remove the first one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
That's why one should always use protection.

What makes you think the first app is still there? If you've performed a factory reset, it's gone - unless it downloaded again when you restored your Google account to your device.

Are you sure you're not mistaking a built-in app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
Yes I'm sure as my accounts getting hacked my personal media getting leaked permissions asked repeatedly and sim getting disabled

Also I'm trying not to log in to my google account and see how that works

Although I have tried to make new accounts from scatch and start from a clean new slate from factory reset it it may be the device itself I'm afraid
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
Social engineering-spear phishing(I think)

Redmi4x satoni

I was asked to click on a link and download an apk by my girlfriend and as soon as I downloaded it, it disappeared and I was asked to delete the apk

(I do not have access to the link also)

Later I realized that it tracks permissions, media and keyboard(except of exactly who I'm texting to because of android sandbox)

I tried FACTORY RESET but the symptoms still persisted (like getting hacked again and my private info getting leaked,sim deduction and detection of sim card and permissions being asked again and again even though I allowed it)

I checked all the settings of my phone and nothing is abnormal(I'm not rooted)

Is it possible that a used account could somehow transmit virus because I had a nasty malware on my phone so I factory reset my phone but the symptoms still remain so I used a new google account and others also but it still comes back so I'm guessing its the kernel or the ROM that got infected

I tried all avs but they all came clean and I'm certain that my android is infected with something

First and foremost I need to know how to DETECT the malware (to know which app is causing this)

And second how to REMOVE the malware

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Which OS version? If not running on Pie or higher it's suspectable to the Xhelper family of partition worming malware😳😖🤢

Yeah sounds like you got a worm... nasty critters.

A reflash may be the best option although if it is Xhelper it can now be removed without a reflash.

You are what you load🤣
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
Yes I know I made a stupid decision its completely my fault I tried using the xhelper method but it comes clean I assume there is only one method that involves disabling the play store

I run on miui 11 nougat 7

Any methods to detect and remove the malware are welcome

And about reflashing its very complicated for mi phones most
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Reflash it to stock firmware. If you can upgrade to Android 9 consider doing so for security purposes. It may have performance/functionality drawbacks though for your application though, not sure as I never used 6,7 or 8.

Make sure you reset all passwords, keep social media, sales and trash apps off the phone. Always keep email in the cloud ie Gmail or such.

Run Karma Firewall. Be careful what you download and especially install... don't sample apps unless you have a real need for that particular app. Once installed don't allow apps to update as they may try to download their malware payload, a way to bypass Playstore security.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
Will not logging in my google account help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
No. The malware is in the phone apparently in the firmware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
I disagree, unless Xiaomi/Redmi's AVB/dm-verity implementation is useless, it should prevent a persistent rootkit.

I suspect this has little to do with the phone and more to do with reused passwords and other "organic" security failure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
You're probably right. Forgot it was running 11... lol, organic security failure, I like that🤣
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
The security measures that prevent persistent rootkits have been in place long before Android 11.

The most common root cause of a breach of security is the failure to ensure sufficient security in the first place. Simple passwords, reused passwords, no MFA, connected accounts, etc. Yes, there are plenty of Android viruses out there, but all of them "live" in the user data space. Of course, there may be unpatched exploits that allow root access, but these must be exploited every time the app is run. An app cannot modify the boot or system partitions without tripping AVB (if the bootloader is locked) whereupon the device would warn that the OS is corrupted.

At the end of the day, it's much much easier to simply use social engineering or other methods to gain someone's credentials, rather than trying to hack their device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Yeah Android 9 was where the hole for the Xhelper class of rootkits was plugged for good. It runs securely unless you do stupid things. This phone is running on that and its current load will be 3 yo in June. No malware in all that time in spite of the fact it's heavily used. It can be very resistant to attacks if set up and used correctly.

I was initially thinking his was running on Android 8 or lower. Forgot🙄 On Android 9 and higher (except for a big hole in Android 11 and 12 that was patched if memory serves me correctly) about the only way malware is getting into the user data partition is if the user installs it, doesn't use appropriate builtin settings safeguards or by an infected USB device. Any phone can be hacked if the attacker is sophisticated and determined enough to do so... in my opinion. Even if this happens a factory reset will purge it on a stock phone unless the hacker has access to the firmware by remote or physical access. Never allow remote access to anyone...

Lol, that's what social media is for🤣
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
OK thanks for helping its been good
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

I retract that (post #12) as I forgot it is running on Android 11. Like V0latyl said it's probably the password(s) that were compromised if a factory reset didn't resolve the issue other than the exceptions I stated in post #16.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokmfmf:
Also i found this on the net if that helps with the situation

Be especially wary of spear phishing. Do not click on any weird link sent by your closest friends, or if you feel compelled to do so, open it from a tightly secured operating system (a fresh VM) where you have never logged in to your social networks.

And

Factory resets are not enough to santitize the device.

Also I'm a bit scared as some people on the net have told that in some cases that even a flash might not wipe it as it resides in the boot logo or some places where flashes do not reach or in flash ROMs chips(but of course this is all very rare)

I am very fascinated and would like to learn more about it any suggestions would be helpful
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] hessien:
After a long time of no issues..my phone is now acting weird. I flashed the rom using ppckitchen..something I have done several times..and now my phone locks up after about 45 seconds. I have been able to get it to calibrate and have even gotten it to to open file explorer..then it locks up tight...touch screen and all hard buttons non-responsive. I tried reflashing it..and now I get an "error 101" connection error. Is my trusty phone done for?

:confused:

I have even tried flashing it with the stock rom...and same issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nicoco19:
Goodnight all,

I unlocked the OEM bootloader and Rooted my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 using Magisk. It is a European model.

Now each time I start it I get warning messages that the security has changed as a result.

I reset my phone completely and I still have these warning messages on startup.

Is it possible to remove these warning messages because I will most certainly resell the phone???Is there a solution to lock the OEM bootloader again or is it irreversible???

Thank you in advance for your help and good evening to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] V0latyle:
This is by design. An unlocked bootloader should display the ORANGE state on boot to notify the user. This is normal, and no action is needed.

It is not possible to remove these warning messages as this is a result of the bootloader functioning as intended.

You can re-lock your bootloader if you want but make sure you have performed a clean flash with the factory firmware first. You would then follow the same process you used to unlock the bootloader (device off, hold both Volume buttons, plug in USB cable).

It's just a minor inconvenience though and does not affect device operation.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nicoco19:
Good evening,

@V0latyle

if I understood your explanation 😇, I download the latest firmware which is installed on my phone with the help of SamFirm or other software.

Then I use Odin in administrator mode and I select the file in the BL box, the file in the AP box, the file in the CP box and especially in the CSC box I put the CSC file (and not Home_CSC) in order to a hard reset of my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 phone. Once the flash is done, the phone reboots to factory state, I click the build number 7 times then I go to developer options and there I could finally lock my OEM development loader again??? Once I've done all of this

,will the bootloader security warning message go away???

Please tell me if I understood correctly please 😇🤗 and above all thank you again for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] V0latyle:
You don't have to do anything with Developer Options or the OEM Unlock toggle. OEM Unlocking only functions as a "safety" to permit you to unlock your bootloader.

If it is already unlocked, simply follow the instructions you used to unlock it after you enabled OEM Unlocking the first time - with the device powered off, use the key combo to boot into Download Mode, then hold Volume Up until you see the device lock warning. When you relock the bootloader, it will wipe data. Once done, no further steps are needed.

If you want to tinker with your device and enjoy the benefits of root, why not leave it unlocked? Sure the bootloader warnning is slightly annoying but again that's by design.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nicoco19:
@V0latyle

ah ok, I understand better, I'm doing the reverse step of what I did the very first time I unlocked the OEM bootloader.

I put my phone in download mode by connecting it to my computer and then I hold the volume up key for a long time to lock the OEM bootloader. And if I understood correctly, once this is done, my phone will be factory reset and no more warning message on startup. That's right ???

In fact, I'm asking you all this because I want to sell my phone to switch to the S23 Ultra.

thank you for your help and your feedback 😇🤗
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] V0latyle:
Yes, if the bootloader is locked and the firmware is original OEM, there should be no warning.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nicoco19:
@V0latyle I'm testing all this to the letter tomorrow evening and in the process I'll come back for other people that it could help.

thank you for your help and keep you posted 😇🤗
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] nicoco19:
Hello,

I did what you said and problem solved, the warning messages at startup disappeared.

I recently bought an 80w charger (probably a copy). And in ampere app it shows around 2900 mA, I attached a picture. Is this expected amount from from and 80w charger. If not then kindly tell what is expected amount and if there is any harm in continue charging phone with this charger.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Swap_File:
To reliably test a charger, dial *#899#, go into manual test, device debugging, then charge test, then super vooc.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] llSOULll:
Test result= Pass
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Swap_File:
I forgot to mention, it helps to have your phone down to a 40% or so charge, the charge speed slows down the fuller your battery is.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Bare in mind the temperature will make voltage and allowed amperage vary greatly.

When it hits 38c it'll drop in amps, then it'll drop again at 39 and 40 and so on, meaning that the proposed 5000MAh allowed charge will not happen, I've seen it as low as 1900MAh.

I haven't witnessed the change in voltage but it'd make sense for it to follow suit.

Your charging looks ok in face value.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] llSOULll:
Can you share your voltage&amps
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
5110MAh

4.096v

That's if it's below 38c
[OnePlus 10 Pro] llSOULll:
So I tested it at 34° temperature & it didn't went above 3000 mA so probably its charger limitation as its a copy.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Where is your charger from? UK/EU or global? US plug?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] llSOULll:
Idk its a copy but I inserted a picture
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Is that American? I dunno. Does it say 80watts on the side of the unit?

Heres mine
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
If it's a copy and not original then yea I highly doubt it'll do what an original can.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Heres mine.. tends to change with temp , battery level.

I tried another app accu battery in its setting was "dual cell battery mode" I googled and found that oneplus 10 pro uses dual cell so i toggled the option on. Now this is the result I am getting.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Yea so that says 20w my charger is 80w.

There's the difference.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] whitecrane:
I'm so glad I found this thread. Enabled the setting on Accubattery and my charge speeds jumped. This makes sense because it was reporting very low speed for me, but the percentage was climbing at a quick pace.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ace2nutzer:
This is perfectly fine. You are charging a 5 A battery with 3 A.

Up to 1C, so 5 A is safe. Things like max charging voltage and temp are hardcoded in kernel which you can't simply bypass with a more powerful charger.

PS: the thread title should be edited to: "Charging Current"
[OnePlus 10 Pro] llSOULll:
In my opinion my charger cant deliver more 2900mA and the avg mA is 2640. In post #13 @dldaz is getting 5821 at 39°C. Which is more then twice. I am looking for a genuine or at least a good quality 80w charger will share current/voltage after results.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ace2nutzer:
According to the specs it should be possible to charge with 5 A as well.

Because your charger have the same specs as the one which is getting over 5 A. But the question is if you both are using the same phone with the same kernel. Or other possible reason is that fast charging is disabled in Android settings.

Usually OEMs don't allow to charge with 1C. But you can get 1C with a custom kernel, if it has support for charger control.

I would like to update this post for the sake of posterity...I got it working. The problem was that I was doing the above build within a Docker container. I then left the container to do the flashing. Despite invoking the source ./build/envsetup.sh script, some variable that must have been created during the build process wasn't set and must have silently failed.

So, to be clear: I did the above, but what worked was doing the above outside of Docker and on the host machine, and additionally running the fastboot commands from the root of the working directory. I think that combination fixed it.
