Summed up:
So might be going to court here; which there probably gonna try and access my photos and text messages.
I have full encryption; so I'm trying to figure out if there is anyway they can access my phone.
The old phones the police use to put the password in wrong bunch of times then use the forgot password to request password through your gmail. Then subpoena Google to give the password or some crap like that.
Next. I have nandroid backups on my SD, I'm pretty sure since I had them when I encrypted they should be safe but do I have to protect my backups?
Its likely they wont know how to use your backups. Althoygh they should be encrypted depending on whether or not the were oresent when you encrypted. And whther or not you encrypted sd card (if they were stored there). As far as I know they can still get in by gmail. Sorry.

As far as texts go, they will just request them from your carrier. That's pretty standard as far as I know. They'll pull all records of sent/received texts and calls.

Do you still have the phone in your posession? If so why not just wipe the phone before going to court?
Or don't let them have it.

That last part is known as "destroying evidence", and there is such a thing as contempt of court and obstruction. OP, if they want the data off your phone then they'll get it... Or you'll spend tine in jail for obstruction and destroying evidence.

So if your like me and are/were constantly checking your data usage... don't worry b/c there is a trick to getting unlimited data! Its a very simple procedure if it works...
1st call vzw customer svc, then when the computer csr asks you what you want to do say "add a feature"
2nd it will direct you to a live agent then simply say you would like to add the "30$ Mobile hot spot feature"
this feature is for unlimited data plans so if you can get the CSR to add the feature your data plan will change to a unlimited plan! No joke I did this 2 days ago. And yes you will need to remove the 30$ mobile hot spot from your plan, and yes your new data plan will stay activated.
And remember if at first you don't succeed with the first CSR agent... try and try again, I got it on my second call in.
Good luck

They have the right to change it any time they want. Unless you signed a contract that specifically gives you the right to unlimited data on their network they can remove the unlimited data feature, especially considering you tricked their system to get it.

No, it is not. Although they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone they want (whether that be now, or at the end of the contract period).

It's not the CSR's fault. They're only adding the WiFi Hotspot feature as they're supposed to do.
You're removing the hotspot feature later on your own without the CSR's involvement.

People are saying this may be a pba problem.
Only PBA I know of is a bluetooth profile. What are you referring to?
I have the GSM Nexus so proceed with caution, but I'm wondering if they use the same types of files and folders. This is what I did to fix it when I accidentally wiped my IMEI:
cmstlist said:
Okay that was quick - solved it!
I believe the problem was that I'd restored the entire /data partition of my prior unit's backup including the /data/radio folder. Not a good idea! The solution was to copy the nv_data.bin and .md5 files from /factory and paste them to replace the incorrect ones in /data/radio. Now my IMEI is back!
Time to backup those files somewhere safe...

Don't try anything without backing up what you already have.
Just flash it to stock and play stupid. Then they will "factory data reset" it, because that fixes everything. Ha ha. No really, they'll give you a replacement.

if you can make a nandroid,
first off you need to download wugfresh's Gnex toolkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
second you need to install all the drivers if you haven't already.
then you need to choose your model type
after you will need to click on back to stock what it does is it resets everything, assuming your phone ant boot up choose not booting
once that is done you can choose the factory image which can be downloaded from Googles factory images or you can use the options provided
after that you follow all the steps provided in the tool kit. the tool kit is mostly automatic so it wont take allot of time.
once that is done you are back in stock and have lost everything but don't fret because you can root it again using the same tool kit.
quick point your phone still has an unlocked boot loader so don't worry about that.
once youve completed the above steps you should be back to your good old galaxy nexus home screen
Verizon won't warranty it because the sticker under the battery has turned colors. No water damage I just touched one day when I took out the battery my hands were slightly wet prob not smart lol. I know this wasn't the cause it has been 5 months the only thing damaged was the sticker and warranty. Yes I have the right ROMs installed I'm not a newb. This is like the same issue with the s3 I tried to use the qpst method but I can't even get the hidden menu to show on the phone clueless as to why. I just want to use my gnex as a beater phone when I'm out.

Lately I've had a few people ask me to root their phones for them. I am not sure if I want to do this or not, it seems there is a lot of liability involved when hacking on a phone that isn't mine. On the other hand these people are offering $$$ for the service, so I guess I am just looking for opinions.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I'd say its cool, your providing a service that they can't do themselves and is realitively safe as long as you know what your doing. Just know that if anything goes wrong with the phone regardless if it has to do with you rooting it, that they'll most likely come back to you with the expectation you have to fix it. Just my opinion.

This is exactly why I won't root friends phones..IMO rooting is easy enough. If someone can't bother to or can't figure out how to root, chances are they will encounter problems down the line which will inevitably be your problems.

Yup. You'll be married to it every time the phone hiccups.
Quick question:
I'm getting a replacement GN2 on Monday.
Before running Triangle Away and restoring my current phone to stock, if I were to take a TWRP backup, could I simply restore the entire backup to the new phone without any issues considering it's all the same hardware?
I'm assuming that the other one will be an i317 as well, not a i317m. I'll verify though.
Yes, it's dumb, but I've never actually found a need to restore a backup in my life before despite the countless flashing.
Thanks!

My phone is being replaced through Javelin Media, they're a marketing company that sets up Samsung booths. One of their employees damaged my phone, so they're replacing it and they intend on repairing mine and doing idk what with it. I'm not really sure if I should revert to stock or not honestly.

I was thinking of just flashing a stock rom all together. Because they intend on getting it repaired, I don't really want to leave any chance for them to say something about it.
Looks like reverting to stock is easy enough though, may as well do it I guess.

Even though I agree with wase4711.. I wouldn't give these guys any chance to screw you over.
I remember your problem from the other thread.. And if your phone gets back modified to some guy like the one who did the damage, then they would definitely find any reason to say something.
You never know, there may be some people from xda working there. If they are paying for the replacement, one would think that they would go through the trouble to make sure that it hasn't been tampered with.
Good luck!
Just got the replacement today!
No creaks!
The issue is, I restored my old backup after having to rename the TWRP folder to match my old phones ID, but now it wasn't a "full" restore? My s-notes, ringtones, etc are missing?
I definitely don't want them to screw me over, so I'll make sure they get a phone in the same state as they sent me.

Hello,
Since flashing most recent ROM, I have noticed 5 "Google" purchases, for Apps and 1 other unknown Google charge. These apps, etc. are not familiar to me, nor have any relevance to any past purchased apps or recent app searches in Play.
I have reason to believe it's directly related to the ROM, as there is particular identifying information included in the statement.
I'll be doing the obvious, filing a claim, yada yada bullshi*.
Has anyone else had this happen? Not cool.

Hey Epic,
To be honest I've seen surprising things in account data for both Lifeless and CM. I've noticed new card numbers, etc. After flashing. I paid no mind thinking it may have been a devs card number somehow merging with my account, and quickly deleted. However, it may be a Google account hack.
Either way, it may be something to confirm, if this type of information is capable of spreading accidentally in development.

you havent posted your EFS anywhere online have you? If your efs falls into the wrong hands people can "clone your phone" and make purchases... altho those would be carrier purchases and I believe are charged to your monthly bill.
as the charge on your sprint bill... or an entirely separate google invoice?
