[General Questions and Answers] qqa92:
Well, but you see that is my point exactly. Whether it is the big guy or the small guy doing it history has shown that where there is a will there is a way, especially when there is a profit to be made. Its like when Norton got busted for spyware found in their AV software in the early 2000's, remember that? I just wonder if such an attempt will be made with this newly emerging technology that is similar to the PC of the late 90's and the early 2000's, vulnerable. No one is offering (at least no one that I'm aware of) AV or firewall software for these various mobile OS's and I think that it is only a matter of time before the bad guys find a way to take advantage of these opportunities the same way they did the PC. Al least over time there became ways to detect these types of illegal practices with firewall software and packet capture software that made the average user capable of some control over his or her personal data.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey There,

Not wanting to be unkind but i think you are being very paranoid here and btw, you can indeed purchase AV software for mobile devices; youve only gotta google AV software for windows mobile to see that:D

The limited OS and how its written means the "baddies" would have nothing to gain/find it difficult to exploit so whats the point.

The only "virus" (and i use the term loosely) i ever came across actually asked you "do you want to install blah blah blah" to which the obvious answer was no.............oooo that was dangerous;)

To summerise, dont get your knickers in a twist about it and enjoy!
[General Questions and Answers] FloatingFatMan:
^^ And to add to Tim's comments. Just make sure you get your cooked ROM from an established chef if you're worried, and there won't be any problems.

Now, if the ROM was from someone with a tiny postcount and wasn't known, then you might have cause to think twice; but that's not going to happen here...
[General Questions and Answers] qqa92:
Well then why not let the cat out of the bag. I'm just in here to see if I can get a large portion of the members in here's knickers in a twist so that they will all go out and buy my mobile AV since mine is the biggest one out there currently. Lots of potential there, in terms of cha-ching you have to agree. ;) LOL!
[General Questions and Answers] hilaireg:
There's also the option of downloading a kitchen and cooking your own ROM ... this method permits you to look at each package in detail.

[General Questions and Answers] RedScorpion78:
I once opened my yahoo on a cooked room, later on I was trying to log on on my laptop and password was rejected. I freaked out and kept trying, later that day I was able to log in after few hours for some unknown reason...

I stopped using my HTC fuze for emails since.

The myth that ALL cooked ROMs in here are completely clean sounds like an old familiar story of when the young man said to the girl "don't worry it will not hurt a bit" lol

I wish there was a tool that scans for such security gaps in a ROM
[General Questions and Answers] kfreels:
I'm not sure what your reasoningn was to stop using email on the phone because of a failure to login to yahoo from a laptop. Did you notice any malicious activity on your yahoo account? Have you since? Have you changed that password? Just seems strange.

As for the security of cooked ROMS, I've never used one but I have a new phone coming and I'm going to try one from a reputable party here. I'm not nervous about it and I use online banking all the time. Here is why I am not concerned:

1.) As several people pointed out already, your PC is more vulnerable just because of sheer numbers. WinMo has a small market share and cooked ROMs would represent an even smaller market share. Even then, there are many custom ROMs to choose from. Then if EVERY user of a specific tainted ROM used their online banking on their phones, there is still little they could actually do with that information. For example, chase uses text messaging which means yes, someone could get my balance and stuff, but I actually have to login to the site to authorize my phone rather than login through the phone. So the information itself may or may not be useful. At the end of the day, it just wouldn't make the chef much money since there would simply be too few potential victims.

2.) The liklihood is very high that the perp would be caught by their peers and exposed in order to 1 - protect their own integrity, and 2 - get bonus points for being the one who exposed the bad guy (or girl). When you add this level of risk to the low reward, it just doesn't make sense. High risk, lots of work, little reward.

3.) Then of course, if someone fraudulently accesses your account, you can usually get that money back.

So I'm perfectly comfortable froma security standpoint. It's the stability standpoint I'm a bit concerned about but that's why I'm waiting till I get my new phone to try one out so I can go back to my old phone if it all craps out.
[General Questions and Answers] startluvova:
I was thinking the same thing and how much it would cost to have Lavasoft or AVG or Symantec evaluate ROMs as an impartial third party.

If anybody is thinking peer review would snuff out cheaters there are plenty cases where Ebay and Craigslist deals go bad and everybody is in on it - even (inadvertently) the local police authority that doesn't have the technical knowhow to deal with a cyber-based threat.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

Way to go to ressurect an old thread ;)

Nothing has changed, i have never heard of seen of a custom rom that has a virus cooked in, or one that has been intentionally created to spy on the user.

That said, i guess you have to make your own decision after reading the comments from some experienced chefs/flashers here ;)

CHeers.

[General Questions and Answers] jafutre:
I am trying to download the acr version 1.2.3 to record my calls on my omnia i910, but my works firewall is blocking the download can someone email it to me im thinking that may work. email is jafutre@hotmail.com
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jomasecu:
Currently my phone is unusable. It displays the green screen with the myTouch logo for a minute or so then goes black and starts over. I can get to recovery mode, and I tried flashing the only copy of CM I have avaliable from there, which is 4.2.3, but it got stuck at the step "Deleting files..." Here's how I got to this point:

I wanted to get Navigation, but every time I tried to install it from market it said something along the lines of "The package is not signed correctly." I got the attached zip from this wave (You need a Google Wave account to view. Currently invite only.) Here's some relevant bits from the wave:

I was on the latest CM at the time (which I think is still the latest) and this was posted before Nav was in the Market. I installed this zip and I had Nav, but there was an even newer version of Maps in Market, and I installed that and it worked this time. Only thing was, this zip somehow changed my version number of CM, and CM Updater said I was three updates behind again. I figured I'd go ahead and try running the latest CM zip and see if Maps still worked, and it did. But after a while, it randomly rebooted on me. This kept happening for a while, but it was only every couple days, so I figured I'd see if it was still doing it after the next CM update and if so I'd post about it then.

Just today a new version of Google Maps was in Market, and I downloaded it and installed it and played with it for a bit. Then later the system rebooted and I am where I am now. Just keeps rebooting after the myTouch screen.

My recovery image is just the normal Android one, I think. (It says Android system recovery <2> at the top and Build: CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF at the bottom, but it's always said that even before Nav and working fine on 4.2.7.)

Other stuff that ran/might have ran in background: Google Voice, Google Listen, Wifi power widget... There's probably more that I'm not thinking of right now. Will add later if I do.

My recovery image doesn't let me mount my card and I don't have an SDHC reader, but obviously I can get one, since it will probably be needed to fix this.

Only reason I'm not completely freaked out right now is anti-anxiety meds. Please tell me it's not a brick, because I'm not supposed to take any more today. :P
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
It's not bricked. Do you know how to fastboot? Download Amon_RA's recovery 1.5.1G and from there fastboot it and replace your current G1 recovery. This rom allows you to mount your SD card, and from there you can put in a new rom on your phone and flash it again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jomasecu:
I did some searching on fastboot, and I got to the fastboot screen on my phone, but I don't understand what to do on my computer's side. I'm running XP SP3. Edit: I also have another partition running OpenSUSE, but I haven't used it in forever and I'm not very good with it. XP options are preferable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jomasecu:
Okay, I wanna make sure I got this right before I continue. I got the Android SDK from Google, and I got the file recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img from this thread. So from a command prompt in the tools directory of the SDK, I should run "fastboot update recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img"?

Edit: Nevermind, I want the flash command like it says in the thread I linked to. Duh. :P

Edit: So I did fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img and it just said < waiting for device > even when I clicked Fastboot USB on the phone. I keep getting the add hardware wizard and ignoring it. Am I supposed to install a driver for this or something?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jomasecu:
Sorry to repost with nothing new to say, but I've searched and looked through other threads and I just can't figure this out. I really need my phone to work.

I hold back and push power on the phone, a white screen comes up with Sapphire pvt 32B... Fastboot. I plug it in to my USB cable and it changes to Fastboot USB. I get a found new hardware wizard and just hit esc.

I type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.1G.img" in command prompt and it just says "< waiting for device >" forever.

I can push the trackball and the screen goes black for a second and then comes back with the exact same thing. I get the wizard again.

What am I missing?

Edit: Okay, I found the driver and now I get "sending 'recovery' (4050 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
what spl do you have? does it allow fastboot?
