Select Sony Xperia firmware appears to contain Baidu spyware
Select Sony Xperia firmware appears to contain Baidu spyware

Xpeira Baidu_2Are you running a Sony Xperia handset with KitKat firmware? Then you may want to check your internal storage for a folder called “Baidu”. It appears that certain Android 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 firmware contains this folder, which is part of the stock build. The folder cannot be deleted, even if you try it will reappear once again shortly after.
Strangely, the folder appears to be created by Sony’s “my Xperia” service each time a network connection is switched on. Unfortunately, unticking the app from Device Administrators does not solve the issue. Neither does starting the phone in Safe Mode. The only temporary workaround is to block the MyXperia app from starting by using an “adb shell” command.
What is quite concerning regarding this development, is that through this process, the phone is making several pings to Chinese servers. Yet, we don’t know what information is being communicated. Sony recently escalated this to its internal teams and recently outlined the following message on its support forum:
“This folder will be removed in future software updates for the phone. Until then I can only advise that you delete it manually after a reboot if you want to remove it. It’s safe to just delete it.”
This is obviously a very serious issue, we noticed the “Baidu” folder on both new Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact handsets. Sony needs to communicate how this app appeared in the first place and to reveal what information is being gathered. At least, Sony has a fix on the way. As soon as we hear any more we’ll let you know.
A “baidu” folder appears in a number of stock Sony Xperia KitKat firmware builds

Baidu folder keeps getting created on Android 4.4.4
Thanks for posting this rfg13.
I had had an unlocked Xperia ZL (C6506) for close to 9 months. The phone kept getting hotter and hotter constantly trying to connect to some service but I wasn't sure which one it was at that time. At the end, the phone totally fried. I wasn't able to charge it with any cable, charger or outlet.
I sent it in to the Sony Repair Service (in Texas), after I got an RMA number through the Tech Support department in Puerto Rico. I got various excuses from Tech Support, e.g. "we told you it was going to take 3 working weeks but it's been only 2 so far" and others!
Finally after 6 weeks, I received a brand-new ZL from them. I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. And that's when all the problems started again. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers as rfg13 mentioned. For me that was happening on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) I would then disconnect my LTE and connect to my WiFi, under which the Baidu folder would not get created.
I uninstalled all of my 200 apps, sometimes one at a time. It took a couple of weeks, and finally I was down to none installed. The same issue kept occuring. I then performed a factory data reset to no avail. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers, the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating. For 2 weeks I didn't do anything on the phone and kept using a rooted Nandroid HTC HD2 that I have for backup purposes.
I spoke to Tech Support a few times but these guys don't seem to know what's going on! I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday (by coincidence). I'm on Android 4.3 now and I didn't see the Baidu folder on my SDCard0. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators).
I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. The Baidu folder still didn't get created, but I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.) I have a feeling it might be related to info flying to obscure servers on the net. I will keep monitoring it and I will post my findings. Hopefully, this firmware if malware-free!
It is actually created by Myxperia. as per an article stated in xperia blog. in order to remove it completely you have to block the myxperia app using adb. baidu is no longer appearing in my zl
Baidu folder doesn't get created after downgrading to Android 4.3 stock ROM
The Baidu folder doesn't show up any more after downgrading from Android 4.4.4 down to the 4.3 stock ROM for my C6506 and rooting. This is good news. Of course My Xperia service as well as the Sony Enterprise Service are still running persistently. The "pm block" commands to block those give an error. I need to upgrade my ADB drivers at this point and see how those work out.

PM BLOCK commands don't work...
I tried that, but the PM BLOCK command is not recognized inside ADB SHELL for some reason, although I have the latest ADB installed. Any ideas?

Install the updated version of myXperia (0.0.A.0.71 if im correct)

This is rooted stock ROM as it comes out of the box with latest OTA. Nothing is changed, except root access.
It is simply nandroid backup image of stock ROM, clean with root access, as I'm not good at ROM cooking. As far as I know Villains are already working on VR13 anyway so if you want flashable ROM just be patient.
For the reference:
latest OTA version fixes Peep security issues and also patches a lot of other system files
ROM is very fast (fastest Sense ROM I ever used) even with default kernel (Neocore:34fps @710 with Flykernel)
very stable, nice low memory killer, even under intense use, like listening music and browsing, Rosie stays in memory
compatible with Flykernel
/system partition is full so if you need busybox you will need to remove some apps.
boot.img is not modified so ro.secure=1 is set to 1. Functions like adb root or adb remount won't work. I started to look into it, but I got lost so if some devs are willing to change it then you are more than welcome.
INSTALL:
unzip file to sdcard/nandroid/[phone_serial_number]/
reboot into recovery
do your ROM backup
do full wipe
restore this ROM from backup
when you use 1st time adb shell, su, don't forget to click "Allow" for superuser

----------------------------------- OTA -------------------------------------
edit: as far as I know it brings update for peep client. Looking more deeply whats inside teddy bear it seems that it patches a lot more files. Also seeing that 2nd major version number changed from 32 to 36 I guess it brings more than some minor updates/bug fixes.
OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.36.405.1-3.32.405.2
P.S.Btw, don't install OTA update on rooted phone. In the best case it will pop an error, in the worst you will loose root access to your phone.

Interesting. Might HTC have a surprise for the 2.1 hero owners? It's just 6 megs though so maybe a small update to Sense? Found a guy on a swedish forum that also reported that they found an update... interestingly.

Its small size because HTC uses patches instead of changing whole file.
That Peep update is only for the HTC WINMOBILE phones. Didnt see an android one in it.

Information from http://www.htc.com/ca/support/hero-telus/downloads/
Wonder why a friend of mine on his normal 2.1 HTC GMS Hero got this on a Dutch Carier. called Hi...
also got a similar update today on my german T-Mobile G2 Touch.
downloadable here:
http://liveimage.htc.com/OTA_Hero_T-Mobile_DE_3.31.111.2-3.31.111.1_R2_release6s5ncx3ryi68pwxt.zip
couldn't install it though (phone is rooted)
anybody able to change it for rooted device?
thanks
Is it possible to change the file for a rooted device? Because I don't like the idea of installing the original ROM again and lose al my settings and apps.
Ok.
To install this, you need to have all the files identical to that way HTC shipped it
So don't try to flash it. If I get time, I will look at making it safe and usable by patching against a clean ROM manually
just checked for updates on my orange hero uk and its there
Got this installed on my Hero now. Just waiting on it to finish loading up so I can dump the ROM and work on it

Not really got anything interesting to comment on yet tbh...
Just deodexing and optimising. I'm not sure if I can get it out tonight or not... Depends on the upload time, and whether or not I will do it then, or upload tomorrow... Even then it might be evening Depends on how much time I get at my PC...
Nothing major yet that I've seen in it though.
I got this update on gsm hero, not rooted, rom 3.32.405.2 I think from htc. This update breaks my phone. After the reboot it stays at the "HERO" screen for ever.

Oh, no rush. Whenever its ready. Btw you could just release clean untouched version, rooted with busybox and leave it odexed.
Ok. I couldn't bear to see the hideous mess it was from HTC...
I deodexed and optimised it fully. I rooted it, and busyboxed it.
But, I got tired and put wrong busybox in it, so it broke.
I will look at it again tomorrow.
Will see about a stock version too, but my upload speed is useless so I will need to see what I can do
Ascend Mate is officially 2 years old now. Even though it packs similar hardware as the Ascend P6, Ascend Mate always got less attention when it comes to firmware updates. Ascend P6 got the Android 4.4 KitKat update few months ago but Ascend Mate was stuck in Android 4.2 with EMUI 2.0 until now. The last recorded firmware update for the Mate was announced in September last year http://huaweinews.com/2014/09/ascend-mate-b930-firmware/ and now Huawei has a whole new firmware update ready for the Ascend Mate in Chinese region numbered as B321.
Even though the numbering scheme implies that B321 is possibly a downgrade compared to previous B930 firmware, its wrong. B321 packs Android 4.4 KitKat and Huawei’s latest Emotion UI 3.0 interface. Unfortunately as we mentioned earlier, B321 firmware is intended for the Chinese region but you can install it on your international Ascend Mate with minimum hassle. B321 is marked as a development firmware and its the very first Android 4.4 firmware for the Ascend Mate so you should expect to have few issues here and there.
Changelog doesn’t mention any new special additions to the features but all the new features of Emotion UI 3.0 are carried over to the B321 firmware. Mainly the UI is completely overhauled thanks to EMUI 3.0 and few EMUI 3.0 specific apps are added. Here are the details of this firmware in an easy to understand form,
Model – Ascend Mate MT01-U06
Firmware version – B321
Android version – 4.4
EMUI version – 3.0
Stage – Development
Region – China
Google Apps included – No
Languages – English,Chinese,..
Size – 842MB
On official changelog, Huawei has mentioned that you should only upgrade to B321 from B930 in order to make sure that your device doesn’t get bricked. Upgrading from other versions other than B930 might be possible but we strongly recommend you to follow Huawei’s instructions and upgrade from B930.
If you happen to install this firmware on your Ascend Mate, please share your thoughts and issues you faced in the comments below.

I just flashed the rom and it runs pretty smoothly! I flashed B930 as recommended before flashing this B321. I've played with it for about an hour and everything seems to be working fine! The only little 'annoyance' I can see is the DPI seems to be set differently to B903. I'll try and tweak that later. I'll also be trying to flash GAPPS shortly.
I took some screenshots which show the apps the phone comes with and a few apps running. Click Here!
EDIT: Ok, too get root on this rom you need to install TWRP recovery and flash this. eRoot and Root Genius both didn't work. Still trying to get GAPPS to play nice.
EDIT 2: Hmm.. Root Checker is saying I don't have root :/
EDIT 3: Still can't root to work. I've given up for now but I'll try again sometime later this week.
Where are u from...? Is the data connection working..?
Sent from my HUAWEI MT1-U06 using XDA Free mobile app
tried this rom but it has d same old issue....NO DATA CONNCTION in INDIA....ithot its the official update from huawei & they must have corrected the issue...
EDIT : - Data connection working after resetting APN settings
I am going back to B907. While the rom looks nice, it just gets slower and slower throughout the day. It also doesn't save any photos for me, which is quite annoying. Likewise it will not send MMS, even after I put the MMS APN in manually. I will be keeping an eye on future updates to this
EDIT: So, I can't downgrade for some reason...
Hello,
Installed from the B930 with the stock recovery.
No problem.
All my implementation remained.
No more flickering of the screen.
No NFC
wifi 802.1xEAP without SIM option (for french users FreeMobile)
Root realized via TWRP recovery (during the first use of recovery)

Many thanks,can I install it from TWRP choosing zip?...My ROM is B221
Please
It would be great if someone can write step by step tutorial for the upgrade. looks like there is a need for some modification in the firmware. don't want to screw it up.
Thanks

Somethings to note about this rom:
It won't let you downgrade after it has been installed. I've tried flashing other recoveries such as the B906 recovery, but it won't downgrade. TWRP works, but you cannot flash Huawei "Update.app", meaning you can only flash roms like Cyanogran, Pacman, etc.
You need to apply your APN details manually in order to get MMS and Internet to work. Even after apply APN details however, I still couldn't get MMS to work.
Calls sometimes only appear for two-four seconds before disappearing. This lead to a lot of missed calls.
There appears to be a battery drain on this rom, as my battery life was lower than when I ran it on B907. I didn't take any screenshots unfortunately.
I found that I could only have one app running at a time. When I tried to switch back into another app the app would reload completely. This was quite annoying as it meant I couldn't upload any photos to Twitter as when it loaded up gallery it reloaded Chrome, canceling the upload. This could be because my model only has 1GB of RAM.
This reloading also affected the home screen, as it would reload most times you hit the home button, and therefore took a while to load home. You also cannot set your own launcher.
I couldn't figure out how to root it. I tried multiple programs and tried flashing root through TWRP but no dice.
GAPPs wouldn't flash either, so I had to download the Google Play apk from the web.
The resolution is huge, probably because of the DPI setting, which cannot be changed because no root.
If you want to run KitKat, I think this rom is much better. It can be flashed through TWRP and you can also flash GAPPs and Root through it. The DPI is also fixed. However, the battery drain and reloading of apps and homescreen is still present.
For now I would just stick with non-kitkat roms.

Thank you I found the solution to the problem in the Facebook group Rom this incredible
It literally ruined my phone. I downloaded the C2004 variant and flashed it and BOOM!!! I started to dislike it from the start when I saw its boot splash screen. There's nothing good in this ROM (or OVERLAY, whatever). The bootanimation is inconsistent, no dual functionality even after flashing C2004 variant, inconsistent status bar icons and the MAIN THING: where the hell is root? There is a SuperSU app only to showoff. I lost my recovery, my root and now, I'll have to flash my stock ROM again.
NOTE: I DID A FULLY CLEAN WIPE INCLUDING INTERNAL (ONLY FOR THIS PIECE OF ####). ?

Hello guys I want to recommend this I have a week using it, I will tell you my experience of use during this week, this rom is incredible I liked the image quality, the sound optimization in games is very good I played for several hours and almost did not heat practically Nothing that is incredible the sound is heard so loud that it is distorted but I like it to have that volume because with other roms in noisy places I put the phone in the ear to listen but with this rom it is not necessary, it has two small bugs when it is Will transfer photos and videos from the storage options will close the settings, and the other is the next when you enter the manual mode of the camera and touch the screen to focus the camera take the photo but close or I put it In auto focus individual and no longer closes because the focus is fixed battery life is the best of this rom is certainly the best performance that e has now a small appreciation about the operating system in general, it is in a little sad that no Is 5.1 because extending the notifications helps a lot, the super user permission has to be installed via recovery and it is an error that the emulation of the internal memory is not disabled by default forcing the user to install xposed to solve this problem and the option of Pass photos and videos to sd does not work rest is perfect ? I love this rom

See this video i had made last year
I received the last MIUI update for my phone, MIUI Global 11.0.4.0(QGGMIXM), and after that, location access stoped working on dual apps. In my case, I'm using it to play Pokémon Go with two accounts at the same time, now the second one(the one from Dual Apps) is not detecting my location anymore, I have tried deleting all the Dual Apps data and config with no luck, I even tried a factory reset and it didn't work.
I have a friend who is suffering the same issue with the same phone model and MIUI version, so, I think this might be a general bug.
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.

In my case, I'm using it to play Pokémon Go with two accounts at the same time, now the second one(the one from Dual Apps) is not detecting my location anymore, I have tried deleting all the Dual Apps data and config with no luck, I even tried a factory reset and it didn't work.
I have a friend who is suffering the same issue with the same phone model and MIUI version, so, I think this might be a general bug.
Any ideas?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The MIUI 12 have messed up lot of things one being :
Unable to find the storage for dual apps as you have mentioned above. So just don't worry, we are here to help you out. Until Xiaomi releases the fix for this you can try the following approach step by step:
Download the Xiaomi File Manager (4.2.0.9), you can find it from APKmirror. Here this is the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaom...mi-file-manager-4-2-0-9-android-apk-download/
Now just install this apk. If prompted for unable to install from trusted source you may need to enable it via the Developer option by turning this ON -> "Allow Installation from unknown sources"
Now just open the newly installed file manager application and on top left corner, switch the storage to "Storage for Dual Apps"
Bingo!!! Its done now you can access the files of all your dual apps whether its Whatsapp/Facebook/Messenger etc.
Make sure you copy all the files that you need from this storage to an external hard drive/laptop/PC. And once you have taken all the files then you can uninstall this application and re-install the latest version using Google Play Store. You won't have to take a hassle now.
Also if you want to keep using the older version (4.2.0.9) of file manager you can use it without any fear. Please guys if this works for you as it worked for me do support my channel on youtube: https://bit.ly/techNawabs.
Please subscribe as we assure you coolest/exciting/interesting technology related content for gadgets/softwares/tips & tricks/hacks etc.
A video is going to be out soon for this MIUI 12 dual storage bug.....Hoping to see you there on my my channel
Hi guys,
few weeks ago, the Xperia 10 IV of my girlfriend got Android 13. After the update, the device works fine, with some new features (as the possibility to choose between set of colors for the UI).
From this page on the Sony website, it seems that also our device will be updated in the next future:
Xperia 10 III XQ-BT52/HQ-BT52 | Help Guide | Changes after updating the software to Android 13
have a nice day!

Well, I'm not sure I did - as far as I remember it showed up when my network turned it on.
And of course I've got this (I think it's on by default):

Volte also works for me, but there is no indication like yours
Installed it an hour ago, everything works smooth so far. Love it much more than Android 12!
Same here: after 2 days, no problems
I have two XQ-BT52.
One of them got Android 13 (62.2.A.0.367) as OTA update earlier this week......and for the other identical device the update is not available. I check for system updated but it still claims I'm on latest release when still on 62.1.A.0.675
Strange, isn't it?

I've 4 different operators from 3 countries in the SIM-slots of my two phones
....but I downloaded new rom with XperiFirm and flashed with newflasher so both phones are at same release now
(removed all .at-files and userdata-sin when flashing and it worked just fine )

this is likely the cause: different operators release the updates in different dates ...
however you worked around the problem!
Hi, I have a problem with uploading android 13 to Xperia 10 III via newflasher, everything seems to be uploading ok but after starting the phone there is a sony logo, a black screen, two vibrations and the sony logo again.

Not all regions received the update, flashing manually from another you will not receive the next update over the air.

did you specify slot a?

I got the update only this morning, installed few minutes ago, everything seems ok for now
There's a nasty bug in this version (62.2.A.0.367), where collapsing the OSK will abruptly take you to the previously used app if you have previously switched to the current app by the gesture of swiping along the bottom edge of the screen:
Your browser is not able to display this video.
This happens regardless of the keyboard you use (Gboard in the above video, also tested with Simple Keyboard from F-Droid).
Another pain point with this update, and with Android 13 in general, is that you can no longer use separate quick settings tiles for controlling Wi-Fi and Mobile data. In Android 12, it was still possible to bring it back by adding wifi,cell to sysui_qs_tiles. According to a quick search, this no longer works in Android 13 (I didn't bother actually trying it out on the 10 III because I doubt Sony would bring this feature back on their own).
Probably found something not working properly: I use my phone with a polar H10 Heart rate monitor and 3 different apps to monitor my workouts and after the update no app is able to read my heart rate from the H10, while it works fine on another much older phone... te 10 III sees the H10, identifies it properly, pairs to it, but does not read any data: no battery level, no HR, nothing...
Unfortunately Wi-Fi and Data toggle are united once again... If I get to know this before I may not update...
