xda article leads to virus? - About xda-developers.com

Hello I just checked some one click root apps from here https://www.xda-developers.com/best-one-click-root-2018/
but the Root Master page that is linked, while it seems legit and all it downloaded an app that is in Chinese or something that looked different than the screenshots. Something that I noticed later.
I tried to use it but the chinese didn't helped match.
Now I'm a bit scared that maybe this app did something malicious to my phone because it wanted permission to write in SD.
Am I just paranoid? Can anyone confirm about this app?
The link is in the original XDA link above.

I don't use the Root Master myself and I had went to check out the article you referenced.
I selected the Root Master website and it looked like I was taken to the appropriate website that was all in English for myself.
I them selected the download link from step 1 on the instructions and it downloaded the app.
I then took a quick look into the apk file and did not notice anything out of the ordinary myself.
I'm not stating that you didn't experience what you had expressed but, I'm just providing you with what I had found.
To hopefully help you out, here's the links I was taken to so you can see/compare with what you had experienced.
This is the Root Master Link...
https://rootmaster.co/
... this is the apk download link from Step 1 in the Root Master guide.
https://rootmaster.co/download/com.rootmaster.apk
I hope that this helps you out and I can only assume that you may have accidentally hit an ad or something.
I do wish you the best of luck!

I get a file called "com.rootmaster.apk." Seems about right. Must have been an ad or popup you got?

it's happened to me before...
I go to select a link and, out of nowhere, an ad sneaks in and I just start over again.
Looks like "The Case of the Redirected Redirect" has been solved... LMAO!

Everything seems legit till the time I run the apk, the page seems fine, the download seems to have to name that the download link says, but the reported apk size is 4MB and the downloaded one is around 2,5MB.
The problem is inside, the app have some short of cartoon characters and everything is in Chinese.
I will check back today if indeed I was redirected to some shady download with the same name.
I run a check with AVG after that incident but didn't found anything.

HTC S620-Excalibur Service Manual

Hi guys!!!
If somebody need the manual this is the link
http://www.mydatabus.com/public/neto555/Excalibur__Service_manualA01_0928.pdf
Nice one , could come in very handy.
Thanks
Anyone got any idea why there is a GPS test method listed on page 39 ?
Is there on-board GPS in here somewhere ?
or how about a copy of that diagnostic file (excaimg.nbh)?
Great Job!!
This is something everyone needs to have in their arsenal, if they own the excalibur.
Even if you don't feel comfortable taking the phone apart yourself to repair it, this gives you some added knowledge of how your phone is built and is put together, so you can at least use this as a reference for diagnostics and testing.
Great idea posting this Tracker00!!!! RIGHT ON!!!!

Hrm, the link works, but the link on that page to actually download the file give a PHP error.

Its by far the best way to keep up on threads as it is possible to see threads listed by the date they are startet... Never miss anything
A typical link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/f-260 /DEV/HACKING section...
Could someone please get it back.

Sorry to sound like an arse, but what's "does not work" mean?*
I can access it fine, also putting .html on the link gives a different view : http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/f-260.html
*I'm a programmer, I get so many bugs saying stuff doesn't work.

Martinhdk, thanks for reporting it. We did have an issue with this earlier and it has been fixed since.

[Q] Someone upload ICS stock rom official

Okay so I tried the one in the development center downloading the new official stock rom, but I couldn't download it because i really dont know if its my computer or something is just not popping out its the russian language.
Can someone upload their update.zip that was downloaded from that section? Thank you so much.
Just follow the link. On the page enter the numbers in the box and click on the green button.You will be redirected and if the download doesn't start automatically click on the underlined link on that page.
Edit: Another link if you still can't download from the original one Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1.zip
md5sum:179415e21863f4791966049e74adaa76
Can someone upload it into another site like mediafire because when i start downloading update.zip from that Russian link the DL speed is very slow, but when i checked on my internet speed there's no problem with it, its 3mbs btw....
After putting in the code another page will come up and you will have to uncheck the box before downloading... found that tid bit of info in another post somewhere on here... Good luck!
Worked fine for me this morning with Google translate. Downloaded in five minutes. And if it takes half an hour, what's the problem?
The russian site worked fine for me, took about 45 minutes. No big deal.
I cannot download from Russian site... because of firewall or network?
I decrypted the OTA and posted here. Let me know if the mirror link doesnt work. My dropbox is being stupid and keeps saying its generating too much traffic so its disabled. So stupid.

@zleto - Your mirror worked for me and install was successful over the leaked "Acer_AV041_A100_1.012.00_WW_GEN1.zip".
The following one by aznmode didn't work for me:

I searched for ages to find another link for Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1.zip and the only one I could find was here:
http://acer-club.ru/topic/17462-rom-acer-a100-101400-ww-gen1/
And click on "Download to acer-club.ru". Google translate might help with the page. Direct link to that is: http://download.acer-club.ru/uploads/files/OS/A100/Acer_A100_AV041_1.014.00_COM_GEN1.rar
Hope that helps someone else out.

TIP: To increase your dropbox storage

hey all,
After HTC advertised its free 25 Gb dropbox storage on the case, i found that after signing up, i just got the usual 2gb space. I banged my head until i found a solution. Follw these steps and you are good to go. I never tried it on ICS, but i think its similar.
1. Sign Up for dropbox if you haven't already.
2.Connect your phone to dropbox in settings<accounts and sync<sign in to dropbox.
3.select auto-upload in dropbox settings. You get 3.5 GB space now.
4.Now open gallery,and open the dropbox folder and allow HTC to access your dropbox folder.
5.You should now get 26.5 gb.
enjoy..
Hope it helps..
hey guys did it work for anyone using ICS? Please share your experiences..
You just have to follow the link in the email and complete the steps. It's not difficult or a secret.

Is root possible on Verizon Note 4?

Or even just custom recovery?
Google searches result in both yes and no answers i dont know what info to trust
SM-N910V on 5.0.1
I've been out of the phone modding scene for a whille
Thanks to anyone who can give me the correct answer. Dont want to download these files only to brick my only phone
Check out the 'New Note 4 owner' thread above yours. Nothing definitive yet, but it's kind of a lead. Once you click the link, search for 'Verizon' and it'll show our phone, the download links, and the version of Android you need to be on. I haven't tried it yet, but want to. Someone in that thread said someone about the zip file saying Europe in the name, but 'Verizon(USA)' in the description on the first page that loads.

Yep, sad but true. That little unfortunate fact was pointed out in the thread I directed to by another in a not-so-polite way. I didn't even think about checking the date in the post until it was pointed out. Good thing I didn't bother trying it, yet.
