Android security leak. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

http://lifehacker.com/5946919/check-if-your-android-device-is-vulnerable-to-the-remote-wipe-hack
Lifehacker ran an article today about an issue with a security leak on Android today. When I test there test link, my phone running The Blu Kuban is effected. I am wondering if anyone knows if Sprint will have a fix on the GSII E4GT our if Ruj, the developer of the Blu Kuban rom can put in a fix. Or is this just a bunch of bologna, and I have nothing to worry about.

Its true, but the target devices use a dialer code that doesn't work on the epic touch.

Are you positive on that? I don't know how much you can look into it, but that test page that lifehacker recomends to see if your device is can be affected, does work on my phone. The link brings up the dialer, and shows
MEID
x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x
The article says if your phone is safe, the dialer will show a phone number instead of displaying a system message.

So I've got the official stock tar sitting here

is this something we still need? I know everything we've had so far has just been repacked or pieced together....if the devs wanna chime in please...just waiting to upload

Would we be able to pull the eg30 modem from it? I am on eg12 and I keep missing calls when my Screen is off.
Thanks.

Kk guys, uploading to megaupload now...this is definitely gonna take a while
It should be a complete phone image, writing over every partition (as is the case with all Samsung tars)...there's definitely a modem in it, but as far as pulling it, I don't know, I'm not knowledgeable enough about pulling things out of tars.
I'm going to put a link in here first before posting it up in development because I need somebody to test it in Odin. We use a pre-packaged .exe here to flash phones, so Im not able to test it with Odin (though I can't foresee it failing as the tars have always been identical to the ones we use here at xda). So when it's up, please test and let me know.
Hang tight for a while, megauploads quoting the ETA at 2 hours....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think it would definitely be cool to upload this for us. Easy way for everyone to flash back to factory. Might even root now if this is the correct stock file.
Actually scratch that ETA, our neighbors wifi is too slow, I'm gonna have to wait until I get home at 6. So sometime tonight

More importantly, this theoretically has the EG30 modem, something we don't have right now and no one has been able to obtain yet. Everything else we can make do with the pulled versions.
Love to have this simply as a back up as well until the next official tar is out. Thanks for when you get this up. And thanks for mirroring it Chris.

Btw, it's awesome that Codeworkx could make a demo video of a non-public Rom without using "Let the Bodies Hit The Floor" or "Soar" as the background music, as is much too commonplace these days. Awesome track.

Early build of CM9, seems reasonable that they haven't changed all the branding yet.
I wonder if they'll beat the official GSII ICS release from Samsung? They've got 100 days (or less).

They're pretty far along, its my understanding the only main issue now is the ril is unstable,but its also unstable in Samsungs beta leak.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Very cool. I don't think we'll be getting CM9 anytime sooner than Sammy's ICS update. (I hope I'm wrong ) The kernel they release will have a lot of the drivers necessary to get the ICS kernel up and running. I know the phones are pretty similar but there a re a few differences.
Are we even certain that CM9 is coming to our phone due to the 911 bug? Since the bug is in Bubby's CM7 Rom as well as T.C.P's MIUI Rom I am guessing our phone will have the same issue as the other Sammy phone they dropped support for...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think both roms are using deanos kernel so maybe there's still hope that the 911 bug can be ironed out.

Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.

MR 4 means Maintenance Release 4.
It's their 4th maintenance release for the phone.
I think it went EL26 -> EL29 -> FF18 -> FH13. were all OTAs
Was expecting this since they added FH13 to the open source page this morning as mentioned over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30559316&postcount=202

As long as the "core" apps are in place and all you did was root, according to the sfhubs threads with one clicks, you'll get the ota.
That being said - being rooted alone, people have failed at getting ota pushes.
If you really want ota, best bet is to go back stock and unless anyone can say different, that means going back to ek02..

Actually, Live Wallpapers used to scroll left and right when moving through home screens. Samsung removed that feature a couple of updates back. I think a certain fruity company says they own the patent or something. They seem to own everything else.
