Hello,
Not sure if this is even the right place to post but I believe my phone was hacked and would like help with how to verify this.
My boss and some friends of hers have keyed my car and other childish things but now messing with someone's phone, network, and personal records, besides being illegal is beyond ridiculous.
Can anyone help me find out if they did gain access? Phone is Verizon HTC One M8, was rooted, S-off, unlocked bootloader, stock rom. I have done a reset via TWRP. Have not completed rooting with SuperSU, don't even know if I should.
Stupid question but is it better to get a new phone, get a new sim, or neither?
Thanks in advance for any help.

i think you can try to unroot your phone and the hacking software will report failed.
the other way is try the secure software to scan your phone.
btw
You can look for active keyloggers or maybe a metasploit file u dont reconize. If someone is taking ur info see if u can get kali that mjght help

Conative719-how does one look for those, and in the "For Dummies" version, please
If that doesn't work will try Evanzhou2000's suggestion.

To see if u have any of those what i would do is downdload the latest es file explorer or vet defender virus protecter the metasploits r kinda hardwr to find but i think one way is does it take screen shots alot?

Like the phone? Then buy another one for the $80-$120 they are on ebay, and then sell the one you own now. Don't connect to wifi that they may have access to. Might not be simple but if you legit think you've been hacked, stop using the phone you think is hacked then. Extremely simple.

Just wanted to put this out there, this is an idea space
Couple ideas we may get going:
* Someone leaks a working Engineering / Test Build
* Find a leak in the HTC Sync software (it has to use root to do the internet sharing)
What's been tried:
* Writing to /cache or /data/local
* Mounting system as rw lol
* Anything and everything with Fastboot
* A few other things that I can't think of right now
Has anyone tried flashing the engineering leak via gold card method? My guess is... our best bet is the internet sharing. The question is how to exploit it...
Personally, I gonna try via htc sync. I already tried fastboot with no luck too. I'm not as savy as you guys but may be dumb luck will be on my side today.
Why does that internet sharing have to use root? pdanet and easytether dont?

Well I havent even figured out how to get it to share the internet. Sync works but no internet sharing yet. May be I can try something in adb... thta is a good point. I used to use pdanet all the time before root on my G1. Hmmm.... I guess we'll have to see. Im gonna keep trying. Maybe Wes might have better luck. Im not giving up. I need a good android phone w/ kb. Not returning yet...
I believe the tmobile champions slide had a test build on it prior to slides launch,at least the guy at my tmobile store said his phone was running beta a week prior to launch,unfortunatly can't find any dumps.he was talking some crazy stuff about his friend already having a patch to oc the cpu to 800mhz.

That sounds about right. Oh god, champions slide?! Does that mean there are two different types of boards? This might complicate things a bit. I dispise when manufactors make two different types of boards for the same phone model. This is G3 and G4 all over again in the wizard subforums. I hate HTC sometimes, lol!
Don't worry sino8r, a champion is just the t-mobile term for a member of the marketing team that gets early access to a model to train the retail associates. They got a slide just like the to-market one, but it had a beta build of Eclair w/sense etc.
Not crazy 12 different boards for one phone.... At least I don't think that's the case.

I'm curious of this myself. I'll try it, F it, I'll send back if bricked. Where can I get the leaked build?
Its a no go on the gold card boys. Was loading for a while, then checking for a while, then right back to boatloader with no options to flash. This is based off of this leak.
EDIT: If there is another image to try, i will, just let me know.
Anyone try the method being used to root the Incredible?
This may sound silly, I haven't had the chance to really sit down and mess with stuff yet. However, with the adb shell, and the eclipse ide, is there anyway to make a mock version or virtual machine out of the slide, and then blast the hell out of it without fear of bricking?
In talks with hykuro he thinks the unrevoked method should work on all unpatched phones.

god I wish he'd help a bit. He knows his stuff. we need to offer him and Paul some donations or something.
I am willing to donate some cash to the cause.
If anyone is willing to handle the pool, I'd throw $10 at it.

And i have a hot $20.... C'mon, if we all get on this it would be worth their while.
I got some chedda on it.
Yeah, I'd be in for $20. If we get root on this thing I'm going to be thrilled. I wish I could do some of the work, but I'm a complete n00b with development, so I'd not be much help.
But I'm good for some money.
I definitely have another $20 on it if someone will get root.

I switched my wife over to Sprint to be on my family plan and I thought it would be nice to use her old T-Mobile myTouch 3G as wifi-only Android device. I have already reset the device to stock. It was never rooted or anything.
The problem is that now it boots up and says "touch the android to begin". But we don't have T-Mobile service on it, so it won't let me get past the setup. I have Googled this and I can find is some stuff about touching the 4 corners, but it does not work.
I would just like to do two things:
1) Load the new 2.2 ROM
2) Use the phone on my home network
How? Please help.
I have experience with custom ROMs on Windows Mobile phones, I'm even running Froyo on my Touch Diamond, but I'm new to the native Android scene...
You'll need to just throw a data enabled SIM in to activate and you'll be good after. You'll have to have one for T-Mobile though unless you unlock the phone. A lot of people have had success getting an unlock code from T-Mobile though so that shouldn't be too hard, just a phone call.

So to be clear, there's no method to simply connect the phone to my computer using USB and bypass activation and/or load a new ROM? Keeping in mind that I don't want to use any cellular service with it...

cant you just skip the sign in part? then just use wifi?
if not, maybe you need to root it andload cm or something on it
on my backup mt3g, which is rooted, with cm6, i can skip the sign in, and then use wifi
He can't bypass the activation on the stock ROM. It'll be a pain to root without being able to access the phone unless he's got ready access to another Android powered device.

more evidence of:
stock=bad
root=good
btw, with UniversalAndroot, you could root that sucker in literally one or two clicks, my 7 year old niece could do it, then install rom manager, and if you dont have a file explorer, here's root explorer
after that, i would wipe all, flash cm nightly 221 over that stock junk and add pershoot's kernel
problem solved-skip sign-in and use your mt3g on da wi-fi
That would be great if he didn't have to get past the activation screen on the stock ROM initially to do all of it. Not trying to troll you, just saying.

guess he just needs to borrow a friend's tmo sim card, then
oh well
just went back and read his op
"I have already reset the device to stock. It was never rooted or anything."
curious as to why he "reset" if it wasnt rooted? should have just left it alone
wonder if the friendly folks at the Tmo store would let him borrow a sim for a few minutes
I don't know much about root with the mytouch 4g Or any phone for that matter A
except that it is considered very very good However it may or may not want a warranty that is where I hear different issues
Could someone clarify the two things first what are the exact benefits I get out of it. would it take me back to what I had on my nexus --basic android. nd
Secondly would it void my warranty? If so is there a way of getting back to the original factory settings where they would not know?
Lastly there is no way I would be able to do this is there anyway of getting anyone else to do it in person or over the computer By giving me instructions I know there is a list of instructions but I was thinking more along the lines of seeing or speaking to someone
I would pay handsomely for this

1 - Simply rooting the phone would not give you the same setup that you had on your Nexus One, but it would allow you to get there. By rooting the phone, you are getting complete access to every partition on that phone and THAT is what allows changes to be made to the kernel and operating systems (aka ROMs). Unless you are a developer and know how to create your own ROM, you'd have to wait until one is created for us. Right now I believe there is one called Ice or something to that extent. You can check the Development section for that.
2 - Rooting technically does void your warranty, however there are way to get back to the original stock ROM/settings. There are threads in the Development section as well. As with anything that is in unfamiliar territory, take care and precaution when modifying your phone...especially if you use it on a daily basis and aren't sure of the exact steps to take.
Hopefully this was somewhat useful. Good luck!
Allen, and everyone, thank you
Yes, it does help
You say I can wait for one, or do my own, or use one by ??Ice.
Is that the one that was on the net, namely one like this, created by Scotty also?
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/11/11/root-mytouch-4g-install-custom-recovery/
1. Is that safe
2. Is the "flash" the thing that can get you back to factory settings
3. As far as the ? about getting anyone to take baby steps with you in doing this OR somewhere to take the phone to do it, has anyone heard of this.
Lastly, Allen
did you know anything about the phone locking up after a break, when using WiFi (EDIT: Oops thought I mentioned this in the post above. fwiw, anyone know why I can use wifi over the net quite well, using my browser (not to confuse using the wifi calling app, as one gent thought I meant. But then after a brief break, it locks up. even if I switch back to hspa. I have to restart. any ideas?)
Again, Thanks Allen, and all
If the only thing you know about rooting is "its very very good" then my suggestion would be to not do it just to do it.... do your research first, learn the basics and what its all about, yes there are pro's but theres con's. A simple mistake could leave you with a very expensive paper weight. All I'm saying is there's no need to jump in to it. root was around far before android and wont disappear over night. The only thing that I can't stress enough is research research research.

For a beginner developing your own rom would be extremely difficult/almost impossible... no other roms have been released yet except for the ice one but that is the exact same thing as what you have now minus the stock apps
One problem with using other peoples roms is if you can't read the code you really don't know what your putting on your phone... with XDA a decent amount of us can read code and would say something if we found it malicious but what if noone took the time on that specific rom? unless you can read it that just brings me back to you really never know
So I guess that answers your is it safe question... its safe if you know what your doing... and don't get me wrong I'm not tryin to make it sound scary it'll be a 1 in a million shot to find a malicious file on xda but it could happen
2 flash an equal to install ... as installing a rom flashing a rom
3 no idea what you mean

thanks. No, that just about answers it. very well, I might add. I will wait
what i meant, is if there is one that comes out, might there be someone who will walk you thru it, i.e for a newbie either thru chat, phone, or somewhere to take your phone to get it flashed with the new rom
oh ok i see, you would probably not want someone to do it for you because youll need to do it more than once... if someone walks you through it at least you learn how to do it and you'll be able to do it next time (and trust me theres always a next time) if your interested in doing it i pm'd you my aim name and id help you out with it... its really quite simply when its broken down... but like i said before id do some more research on it first and come up with some reason you personally need root access because its importance to other people may not mean anything to you n vice versa.
Anyone have a guide for my sprint tab to get rooted. I cant seem to find one except superoneclick or z4root and neither one of these worked. Also is there a good cwm? Im very experienced at rooting and flashing just cant seem to get my tab rooted.!!! Thanks!!!
update: i cant believe i couldnt find it it was right in front of my eyes im soooo sorry for this post!
In case anyone wants the link its here and i am now rooted it was super easy!

don't be sorry...
because you helped ME! i have a sprint galaxy tab and have not done anything with it since i got my gnote, so i have been searcing for how to root this thing...it did update once ota (i think--i have the whole set of tabs, and a captivate--it gets a bit confusing going from one to the other, i just tried using a non existent touch screen on my pc...) so i will try this. how did it go for you? mine is not activated thru sprint, i use it wireless only and cannot wait to get the sprint crap off of it!
You should already be on EF17 Gingerbread. Do this one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033&highlight=sprint
It doesn't matter if you are using 3G or not.
As I found out! I was getting frustrated until I realized that everything I found was going in a big loop to nowhere! Thanks for your input, i REALLY appreciate it, and will let you know how I do!
EDIT:
Just a quick question... Do I need to worry about these downloads to my pc as far as malware? I did download some files that came back as a threat with my anti virus - - files that were for ClockworkMod or even a whole kit to root a device (my tab--but i figured out they were for the version before the update that i have now) , but i think it is because it is software that roots android, and not because it is a real threat. I do worry about some of these download sites with the 'download' links all over the place... And only one of them is the file we need (i know how to tell the difference but still I can make a mistake - - My virus protection has indeed saved my ass a few times) any words of advice about this?
thanks again!

No, no need to worry, they are false positive.
ok so ive got the note 7 930FD, it has a straight talk SIM in it that runs on the ATT towers.
I was wondering if I could pay someone on there to remote into my PC, DL what ever need stuff is needed to Root my Note 7.
Also what roms are out there to run on that device? Can anyone post pics of the ROMS so I can see and if I like one Have that ROM Flashed as well?
Please note that I have a gear s currently connected using the S health on the daily and want to make sure I can still use them.
So ya a root and a rom, whats your price do this for me?

Honestly, you should do it yourself. It's not to difficult, just read everything 3 times first, then follow directions carefully. If you want to change things later, you will have already gained the knowledge needed. Now is the perfect time cause of the recall, if you hose it up they are still taking them back no questions asked. I would practice on a recall phone first , so you have no worries.

I bought my phone off eBay and not sure how that would affect me getting a replacement device. Not sure of the correct files to use as it's the 930fd. I use a straight talk SIM it it but I know the signal from straight talk comes of the att towers. I've seen some ppl say they have down it and some say they haven't kinda not sure at this point.
