Hi,
Last week my friend was robbed..and that bugger had the guts to snatch his Note 2 from his hand and run away in a moving bus... he had ADM & Kaspersky Security installed. this is how it happened, the incident took place at 9:27 AM he called me immediately and while i logged in on the site and fire the lock and remote wipe commands it was 9:46 AM.. very obviously the bugger had removed the sim immediately so non of the commands were executed and it is highly possible that he will sell it to some local shop who will first flash the mobile before using it..apart from filing a complaint at police station and putting the IMEI number under surveillance which I know is not happening any time soon.
My question is : Is their a way where we can restrict Flashing the mobile with a password..and to unlock the flashing security the mobile needs to be switched on and connected to a network.. this will at least give us some time for remote wipe and location tracking of that thief/ or otherwise at least he will not be able to use the hardware at all.
Thanks in advance
There's no way to locate your phone if its not connected to network and there's no sim card installed. If theif is smart enough, he will first switch it off and take out the sim card. If he's dumb, he will start calling( from your sim with internet connected) his friends that he stole a new phone..lol
And you know, its android. You can reset very easily and flash custom rom in recovery.
This is how I lost my GNote1 while travelling. It bumped out of pocket and fell somewhere. Then I called it from my friends phone and it was switched off. Tried locating but it couldn't locate...

Exactly Manny thats what i am saying...but can we have a way to stop that phone getting flashed ? I mean can we have a recovery mode password or something that way he won't be able to flash any rom on it...if i am not able to use it...that losser has no right to use it as well rght?

No way..recovery can't be password protected. If password protection was possible, you should already had it password protected. Since you don't have, its very easy to flash any rom.

Sadly not I'm afraid- can't protect a recovery in any way as far as I'm aware.

Hi everyone
I have a strange problem with my xperia M. Somewhen today the Play Store and some other apps crashed so I decided to reboot. The last reboot is about thre days ago. After startup i got a starnge screen asking me for a password to unlock the storage. I have absoltely no idea what this screen is as I have never seen it before. I attatched a screenshot of the phone.
I have never entered a password to encrypt the data on that device. After trying around a bit I called the sony support. They told me to reset the phone using the sony software. But doing this will delete all my data
What I can do to get my data back? And why is my phone suddenly encrypted?
I use Stock ROM think it was 4.2.1 or something. Locked Bootloader not rooted.
Rgds
gentooMueLLe
edit:The time shown on the password screen is not my local time. this is also a litlle bit strange to me
I think, you might have messed up in "Encrypt your phone".
I don't see any way to get out of it, still wait for some expert to give a solution.
Are you really sure that nobody accidentally encrypted your phone? This are bad news, as far as I know, unless you discover that password, the only way to fix that will be wiping your device =/
Hi folks
thanks for your replies. I am absolutely sure that I have not actively encrypted the device. I think the process of encryption takes several hours what I should have recognized.
Is it possible that some kind of virus has encrypted the device?

Thats also my oppinon. for that reason I dont have virus protection software or something similar on my device. As I even have not installed anything since the last reboot I cant imagine that there is a virus on my phone.
Is it possible to encrypt the device remote. I think my google account was hacked, as my password was not valid anymore....
I have never thougt about encryption, so I dont know much about this topic.
Thanks for your help
is there any solution yet?
I know this thread almost 3 years posted, but I really need to know about how to decrypt it. My friend has an encrypted C2004 and I'm interested to make her phone be mine. Do you guys here have any idea? thx in advance.

Asus Zenfone 2 Random Reboot resolved
Hi Guys,
I have the same Zenfone 2 4GB RAM 64GB ROM.
The restart issue is due to the settings in Accessibility options.
Check which are all switched on:
The culprit is Switch Access Option - If you have it enabled then the mobile randomly boots and reboots. Disable this and you should be good.
I have lastpass enabled in the accessibility options and it does not cause the phone to restart.
Any number of replacement or doing factory reset will not resolve this for you.
Cheers... this issue aside... the phone is a beast.
Do share if this issue is resolved by applying the above mentioned solution.

I've got the same problem, but to ASUS USA: this problem is with your overwriting of the stock Google Android OS. STOP your "stabilityenhancements" and just release Android 6.0 Marshmallow FTOA! Then we can catch up with the rest of the world. There is no longer any good excuse or reason for your year-long delay; except for you filling THAT up with useless bloatware that NOBODY uses and seems to be the problem!
Asking any of us to have to go through your well known arduous replacement RMA process for ruining our devices with your narcissism is totally unacceptable behavior and insulting to the people who are paying you millions of dollars.

I couldn't agree more, it's really bad form that it has taken so long for a proper non-bloatware update. Being stuck on 5.0 is terrible.
I had the same issue. Whenever I tried to do something with the phone, was rebooting. I was not even able to install the update to Android 6.0. I uninstalled some apps, and then was ok, it was no longer rebooting. So, uninstalling some apps can help. I have a Zenfone 2 Laser

Subject : I HAVE REPAIR MY MOBILE 6 TIME AND NOW IT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN
Topic : 1 .Product Quality
Description :
Dear SIR,
I wish to complain about ASUS ZEN PHONE 2 IMEI/Serial No: 352649075366383 that I purchased on 12.07.2015 BAP, jodhpur Rajasthan
I am complaining because the phone show number of different faults with a interval and repaired 5 time in a year, service center is 450 km far from my location. To resolve this problem I would like you to know your opinion because this mobile frustrated me.
When I first learned of this problem, I contacted at jaipur then as per customer care guidance at jodhpur after that again jaipur but problem is persist same .( total visit 9 time at service center), and was told that nothing permanent could be done about this problem. I believe that this response is unfair because i have also asus laptop but there are not any problem.
And at the time of submission of phone at jaipur service center back cover get damage by the hand of madam which is setting on counter after that the response given by mam is irresponsible.
Now i receive phone form service center and found second sim problem, vibration problem , g snser problem again, pls take a hard desion against service center and resolve the problem.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to resolve this problem with replacement. If I do not hear from you within time I will file complaints with the appropriate consumer agencies and consider my legal alternatives. I will enclosing copies of my receipt at next time and hang the mobile on road with reflector for traffic facility. You may be contacted at the above address and phone number.
this time my warranty exceed for 1 month but problem is same.
But mobile does not repaired yet now.

Hello, my stepdad passed away last week and we were left with his phone thats locked with a fingerprint plus a security password due to the amount of people that tried putting their fingers on it anyway.
This phone has a lot of important pictures and videos of my little brother and phone numbers of people who still don't know he passed away, the notebook he left behind only has outdated numbers and we haven't been able to find these people yet.
He didn't know about developer tools so he didn't know about OEM unlock, USB debugging, and didn't even have usb media transfer enabled, due to that there's no way for me to use twrp and aroma file manager as far as I know.
Is there anything I can do to get into this phone without losing the files?

Thats through Find My Device right? When I tried it it said that if the phone already had a lock screen I wouldnt be able to use the temp password.
To get all these photos and the other stuff stored on the device you need to know your stepdad's user login anyway. Every change of the security settings requires a password confirmation.
But maybe there's an active login on the notebook you mentioned. Did he use chrome? The password could be stored by the password manager.
As a final step you could try to reset the password with his phone number if still active.

Unfortunately none of the passwords saved in his account worked on his phone, but we discovered that all of his phone's pictures and videos were automatically uploaded to Google Photos (I should have checked there first and I'm embarrassed), and we had a few emotional hours. Now that we have the pictures we don't need to unlock his phone anymore. Thanks for everybody who helped, I really appreciate it.

If you still use oppo f1s in 2021 or 2022+ go throw it away RIGHT NOW . your phone is fully spying on you and somebody inside or outside of oppo is fully viewing your actions andde things u perform on your device here is why
First after using the phone for 4 years i found out that it has a spyware built into the system that allow a person to fully see every action you perform on the android os
My oppo phone had android 6 with no malware or ADB enabled . And what happened to me is so crazy
One day i booted into my computer with a usb stick that had manjaro linux . So i booted into live persistence mode then i connected my computer to my wifi then when i turned my oppo f1s phone
and after the phone connected to the same wifi as my computer
Somebody hacked the linux os and started writing words on my screen then targeted a company from the USA by writing its name on a wifi login interface
So the person who control the spyware tried to say that the name of the company he wrote is responsible on the hack while it is actually not
The good thing is that i took a picture ofof the words this person wrote on my screen as you can see on the attachements
so after i wiped the data of my phone . Somebody played the google ring sound on the phone when the phone had no google accounts connected on it .
On that time i realised that the phone had a built in spyware used by oppo in order to monitor user activites and it has full access to the system and camera and microphone and your process list does not display it and u can not toggle its permissions or even detect it or remove it .
Just get another phone because the oppo f1s is not safe at all as i saw somebody gained access to my computer through the phone itself
While the phone had no running services at the start except of google services and messenger and facebook . And for messenger and facebook they were installed from the playstore
And the phone had no malware detections at all .
it has something unormal built into it
So if you still own a oppo f1s you better throw it away and switch away to another phone
This is not the complet story of the phone still more

Stop that you...
The fact is that the only running processes on the phone were system processes , messenger , facebook , and google services .
So after i wiped the data and after all installed apps were removed i did not enter my google account on the phone so the ring audio appeared and happened when the phone had no google accounts connected and no installed applications at all . Means that somebody played the google ring sound on the oppo phone after i wiped the data
So how somebody can ring your phone when your phone has nothing on it . And has no google accounts connected to it . So the spyware take part of the system
and for changing the rom or getting Twrp on it is a very hard mission . even when i tried flashing it with a pc and following most tutorials it, failed .
So oppo actually did something unormal with this phone . Also its a phone that was released on august 2016 so imagine what may happened with phone made on 2022 and 2021
This is quite serious accusation.
How did your Manjaro Linux get hacked while your phone was connected to the same wifi? I find it very strange to see Linux operating system can be easily hacked. From your screenshot, it even showed the X Windows hacked similar to remote desktop.

Yeah I was surprised too. I was running it on live persistence mode directly from the usb . So it was not installed on the hard drive also it had the default kernel and the default installation environment
So I did not install it and
I ran a command to install an application then the person who gained access to the linux os Canceled the installation and wrote ";6OR" then pasted "The Global broadband Speed test " on a wifi login interface .
He actually tried to target ookla speedtest company while ookla is fully out of the situation .
Even the ookla speedtest app that I had was installed from the playstore and was not running on the background and had no permissions at all
Just the person saw me running ookla on my oppo device did something smart and wrote it on my computer's screen after 4 years of spying as a way to hide or to cover what he did
Thats kinda weird
So malware also allow the attacker to gain remote access to other connected devices while having full access on the device . And the applications manager does not display it or even allow the user to modify its permission .
So the user will notice nothing at all

Android is a modified Linux platform. I feel safer running Windows on the PC to backup an Android. As a further safeguard the PC can't be connected to wifi or the internet.
A Android to PC infection could get very ugly if it was able breach the backup data drives. It's one of the reasons I have many backup data hdds that are time staggered up to years apart and physically isolated from each other and the PC.
XDA gets delusional people here weekly that think they been hacked. Sadly it's their own brain that's been hacked by biology or skewed thinking.
That doesn't mean that real infections and hacking don't happen. Documenting them is tedious and the last thing I care about doing when faced with an active infection or tainted file. My only concern is damage control and repairing the damage already done.
I really don't care if someone doesn't believe me when I tell them about a malware jpeg that damaged files in my download folder. I found that jpeg, successfully deleted it and repaired the damage... that's all that matters to me. That's the worst I've seen in 2 years running on Pie. Took about an hour to clean up, whatever.
I downloaded that jpeg, my bad. Fortunately I discovered it in the download folder by opening it there and seeing the changes made in that folder immediately afterwards. That's the second tainted jpeg I've encountered in over a decade.
If it had been a preloaded infected apk (or one I inadvertently installed) with full Administrator privileges the outcome would have been much worse.
This OP may actually have software issue not a soft tissue issue... just saying

I was shocked by the title so I clicked in.....
Ummm,
Isn't all the firmware packages are downloadable? Where is the malware file located in the firmware exactly? Where is the related payload file?
Isn't it necessary to provide the malware file from the firmware to point out the malware was made by the vendor? How can you be so sure you're not hacked by somewhere else?
This story looks really like this: I think he or she is having an affair with one's wife or husband. Where's the proof? Sorry, I don't have proof, I simply think it happened.
Well, looks like no problem at all...

if I can find a way to get TWRP flashed on the phone I ll be able to take a backup ZIP file and send it here
so anyone here will be able to even try the infected OS on a test phone
by flashing the backup zip file on the "restore" feature of TWRP
And this is not the complet story ,
because when I got that phone for the first time on 2017 and when I was a kid , I was recording the sea on a boat then a girl came up and told me to take a look on her phone , then she showed me that the same video I was recording is present on a adult website and because of my age that time I did not understand what she wanted to say and that the video was getting streamed from my oppo f1s phone's camera and until this day I did not find myself even on the that website , and from 2017 until 2021 I keept using the phone which was the biggest mistake ever of my life until I realized that it was it was not only infecting my devices , it was also streaming me without my permission to an adult website while nothing on the phone is having camera permission
And the process used or I can confirm as the tool used by oppo is the "Android OS" itself because it has already full permissions and access on the phone that the user can not even toggle
Also I did never use the phone on a wifi having somebody connected with a Pc with such tools so I can confirm that it nobody has the ability to try hacking it ,
and for that story upside still more.... more..... like one time I went into a livestream video on youtube then the person that I started watching said
"Omg he is watching this video" and "Dude your ISP is spying on you and your whole country wont tell you and yeah they are streaming on P###hub and everyone think that they are making fun of you while they are actually not they are actually spying on you"
then the guy next to this streamer told him "Dude its not ISP basically nobody know why"
And there is another youtuber who showed the same reaction on one of his livestream videos
but the problem is that when I keept searching for the stream , they were deleted , I spent like months searching dor myself on the internet and I found nothing
A process called "Android OS" the one that the process bar display as system app ,

This is nonsense. You don't need TWRP to get the infected file. If it is made by vendor just like you said, simply download the official firmware from oppo and point out which file it is. Then analysis the file with rever engineering, this is how you can proof it is made by oppo
Anything grabbed from your phone can't proof anything. Anyone can insert malware into your phone. Even a local reseller can do that. The bootloader is not locked, even an APK that uses exploit to get root access can replace the system file of your phone. Your system might have been modified by some malicious APKs.
For example, if you use KingRoot, they insert su.kud file into your /system partition. Any malware that has the ability to root the phone can do that. Since the firmware is outdated without getting any security patch, any malware with ability to root the phone can insert dirty things into your phone. I think this may be the case on your phone.

So the person who control the spyware tried to say that the name of the company he wrote is responsible on the hack while it is actually not

Why would a hacker do that? It's silly. A hacker would use your wifi connection without advertising its presence like that.

Yes I saw that attachment but you know it doesn't prove anything.
Look :
"Oh no! XDA is infected! I was trying to enter my password when the spy started to write this words before me. Please, delete all your accounts!"
(Disclaimer: it's a joke, don't take it seriously).

I was recording the sea on a boat then a girl came up and told me to take a look on her phone , then she showed me that the same video I was recording is present on a adult website and because

Mm, yeah ok. It totally happened.
Seems legit.
Guys, let's help him to clean up his infected Oppo!
I suggest we put on our red dresses and dance in circle singing the "Consummatum est. Diabolo fuge. Diabolo fuge!" incantation.
I know its kinda weird but... the last time I used it on I picked it up after booting it and I tried to talk next to it as if there is something that start running on the phone directly after turning it ON and that start streaming..
After I booted it I started explaining the situation and saying "bla bla bla the phone is hacked and the person who may be streaming the audio etc is a criminal bla bla this phone has nothing installed on it etc nothing is running on the background except of google services and some system apps bla bla if you can get him arrested etc.."
And after I finished speaking I went into the factory reset and I wiped all the data of the phone
and when it booted up again I wiped the data again ...
And after this when the phone booted up I did not enter my google account into the phone , so the phone had completly no google accounts connected to it
and here is the craziest thing that blew my mind
right after booting it , somebody played the "Google ring sound" on the phone while having no google accounts connected to it
That google ring sound is the one that anyone can play after getting into a google account and clicking on the "RING THE PHONE" option on
like there is no way for somebody to do such thing while no google accounts are connected to phone
so I was extremely shocked like how this can happend , I did not enter any google account to the phone...
I tried even to check my google account using another device and it was not connected to any device ,
So somehow that malware allow its owner to play such audio on the victim device...
like this is something that I found no explanation for
And As I remember this is the last thing that happened before I gave up using that oppo phone ,
I know im not writing this to get a wizard up to fix the phone or something , just trying to say that oppo phones in general are not that much private or safe at all after I experienced all this
also im not a professional or somebody familiar with malware reverse engineering , im just seeing the malware impact by its behaviour as any normal user ,
also I dont have that magical test environment to crop each part of the firmware and look into it , im still even scared from getting it connected to any wifi , like if it is going to explode
But the fact that 5 years from my life were getting streamed to an adult website by that malware .. hurt so much... , not only this but watching a livestream using the infected phone and hearing the streamers screaming loudly and showing that reaction
then finding out that many faces from people in real life start changing and hearing unexpected reactions as if they know something and they wont tell you about is something that is hard to understand
like yeah as u said , why would someone spend his life or do that or even use a malware in order to ruin somebody's life by streaming him into an adult website and doing all the possible to dont let him know about it ,
And ending up getting bullied in real life by unknown persons in a daily way for something u dont know and just hearing a few words from them that explain a small part of the whole story
anyway thanks just tried to share my experience

Factory reset is not enough to remove malware inserted into your firmware via root. Factory reset doesn't reset to factory state in your case because factory reset doesn't really rewrite /system partition, it just deletes /data partition. So any modification in /system partition still remains. If you run SafetyNet check on your device you will find out it fails to pass SafetyNet. How to find out? You can use YASNAC to check it. If your phone fails to pass Safetynet, that means your device doesn't have the same software as the stock one. And that means you need to use another method to reset your device.
You need to reinstall stock firmware with recovery or use DownloadTool to reset your device.
Seeing how you fix your phone, I think you really lack basic knowledge of Android or even cyber security. I suggest you remove this ridiculous thread because your accusation is actually based on nothing, but only with personal experience which was actually caused by misconception due to the lack of basic Android knowledge.

I know that a factory reset or even doing it billion of times can not solve the problem
I was just explaining that the whole thing going on here is not caused by user interaction , it means that I did not M I s t a k e l y end up here by doing a mistake like getting something to run on the os and giving it wide access on the device
And this is not the way I fix any phone , im not like the smart guy who says "hey go format your device and everything will be fine"
I know it will change nothing on this case

it passes safetynet, and all these problems keep going on , the problen is not caused by an app that had root access on the device
its caused by the stock firmware itself
