Android devices hacked/spyware - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Android phone hacked remotely. Files and apps running on phone that wont show in phones settings. But file manager shows numerous files and apps. Also shows a phone root. Alot of apps with ridiculous permissions hidden behind regular android apps names and logos. This is a new phone. This also happened on my other phone and tablet recently. I have an investigation going but police are unable to do much electronically. It doesnt help with a factory reset. It resets automicatically with the files in question. Help if you can

Factory reset won't help if the virus is in the system, you need to do a full wipe to your phone, your internal storage and your data and the system itself.
Then later you can flash the system.
In fact the Police won't do what you need, the Manufacturer of the phone is what is able to do that easily.
What is your phone's model number?

SM-G930P.... but the concerning thing is I got a BRAND NEW PHONE WITH A DIFFERENT PROVIDER. And the same software was uploading. How is this possible? Is there some super hack software that can remotely hack?

I have no idea about how they hack phones and stuff.
It's lucky that you have samsung.
Do you know Odin software or did you ever used before?
What carrier is your phone on right now?

[Q] HD2 unable to boot-I need info from phone before reset

Please help,
My hd2 will not boot, I get the message "this device is unable to boot because you have turned it off incorrectly or tried to install an application from an untrusted source. press volume up to reset.... ...this operation will delete all data".
Memory card is okay, but I had important documents and photos on the phone which i need before I reset the phone. How can I access these? I have tried active sync but it is not detecting the phone.
thanks for any help
I really dont think you will be able to, if you cant boot then you have no access to the device memory..............
Hi,
Ive got the phone in bootloader now and when I connect it, the computer recognises it but it is not displayed in the explorer window.
Any ideas?
Cheers

I stil dont think it will work. pretty sure you need wm to boot before you can access the memory.
sorry.
Hi,
If this phone belonged to Osama BinLaden, I dont think the FBI would reset it, im sure they would find a way to get the documents off. I am so frustrated.

Maybe OBL would do regular backups and not rely on just one device for important documents.
Since he does his blogging on cassette tapes, I think he will still be using a Nokia 3210.

Looks like an iPhone user to me..............
@ the op
I wasnt suggesting that its impossible to get to the data, but I dont think it will be possible for you to get to the data..........
if you still have no success after booting without the sd card inserted and applying HSPL ( not sure that will work but its worth a try.....) then I would give up if I were you.
I suppose a repair centre may be able to remove the internal memory and copy the data for you maybe not but that would be about the only option left if you cannot get the phone to boot.........
Either that or you impersonate an FBI agent and try to blag access to a facility with the technology to access your phones memory under the pretense that you believe the handset contains information which may be potentially dangerous to national security, begin a romance with one of the lab technicians and attempt to sweet talk him/her into giving you the contents of the phone....
Good luck.........

[Q] Factory reset / complete wibe with a broken screen !!

Hi everyone,
First I am no expert, but I've been going through all possible forums for a solution to my problem with no easy solution. I've cracked my screen on my Samsung SII i9100 (current firmware version: I9100JPKG2/I9100OJPKG1/I9100XXKF1/I9100JPKG2 DBT). I have replaced the Firmware once a year ago through Odin as I needed to access different languages no available on the original firmware. I think it is not rooted! If it is then it wasn't intentional . Now I am trying to send it for repair. The phone still connects to USB and Kies and through it I managed to delete all contacts, pictures and media. I accessed the internal memory and cleaned up all folders I previously placed on it, but didn't have the guts to go further through what looked like system or application folders.
Now I need to wipe all the account data, memos, and applications. Since I have no visibility, I tried a hardware factory reset like 5 times but it never worked, I've confirmed that. Read a couple of times about something called "adb" and how I maybe can wipe such data through it, or maybe use my computer monitor as a screen! Despite a whole day of reading and downloading and trying stuff, didn't manage to get it right.
If anybody has a solution for this problem, please don't spare on details, flying blind is difficult
Thanks in advance

[Q] Fujitsu Arows x F-02E Help

Hello everyone and hope to find a solution to this problem that I caused myself.
A couple of days ago I came to buy a mobile for eBay, with very good features but that only brought two languages ​​English and Japanese, after much research weno to rotearlo, I got you can rotear and is very easy, the question was to use a root desinstador to remove applications in Japanese, that is the question I deleted such that a Mobil has been almost useless, it lights have wifi but no network are not phone applications or contact, it says nothing about the SIM requests and configuration pin or setin gives many fs if it enters network.
Theirs would reinstall the official ROM but I can not find it, if I try to update it does not detect wifi Trough docomo network, tb I watched the efs folder and is not, and can not think of more, one thing in the middle of it desinstaciones I made a backup with titanium backup but not because reason gives me error and not installed, when I made this copy option worked even though I had uninstalled call phone icons and the calendar.
Another thing is that now I have the baseband because I don not known or something.
If you also have looked but I see nothing, I found and downloaded this F02E_F0001_V16R46A.tar.gz
I think it's the original rom unzipped weighs 900mg but remains in extension. tar and not as flasearla.
In conclusion let a disaster, so I do not know what to do with it, I may have a solution say hello.
You need to reset the phone.
Go to settings -> Backup&reset -> Factory data reset.
Note that Backup&reset is located in settings under "Personal" -> "more".

[Q] bootloader unlock password- Huawei G630-U00

hello,
I couldn't find any other forum to discuss about this version of Huawei mobile phone. I really need help since the last legitimate EMU update ruined the whole system and now my new mobile phone that I have never had a chance to use it is like a trash device... I hope someone here can help me to recover it since i tried all ways I found on internet.
I bought this mobile from China and bring it to Europe. Since I wanted to remove some chinese default software (that wasn't basic software but really annoying), I used an app and rooted the mobile phone. so I removed some of chinese stuff and installed some of good software. Everything worked fine and I tested skype and I had high resolution picture with 8 Mega pixel camera. I tested all its functionality and it was really good...
I noticed that there is a new legitimate update for this OS, since I still didn't have any sd memory, I couldn't have a backup of this old system and this was a big mistake...
anyway... I let it do the legitimate update for EMU... but immediately after reboot, I noticed that Camera and bluetooth are out of functions... so I first thought the problem is with bluetooth configuration but I was wrong since the internal memory was read only and no longer available.
I formatted the internal memory via computer (the part which was available) but no luck... I bought a sd card and changed the storage from internal to external but this didn't help to function bluetooth and camera...
I had a back up from /system/apps and then removed manually the bluetooth.apk and also its odex file. then restarted the system, clear dev cache and tried to install bluetooth.apk again. but I received error message and couldnt' do that. so again I copied those file back to its location.
So bluetooth turns on now, can send signal but for receiving or sending file, it fails, It can also pairs with other device.. So I thought it should be something related to permissions. I again checked the bluetooth permissioin on /etc/permissions/platform.xml and notice they are ok.
I changed the permission of storage and added the external storage to the list and added group storage_rw.
but this also didn't solve the problem with camera and bluetooth.
several times reset to factory mode didn't solve the problem...
I tried to hack the bootloader but I could not unlock it... I sent all information to [email protected] and asked them to send me bootloader password and provide them with all detail information about the device and accepted that the device is out of warrant but I received no response...
I installed "safe system remover apps" and after having backup of Gallery2.apk, I uninstalled it (it is related to camera and all gallery information)... but with no luck I could install it again...
So, I am really hopeless now since I don't know whatelse I can to do... the system doesn't functioning and I need to load on it the custom ROM but the device only can go to fastboot and cannot load the recovery mode anymore and factory reset from the UI is only reset the mobile to fastboot without doing anything else.
I tried to run the factorymode.sh from the device but I receive error messages to access some files such as bluetooth parameters/power
I couldn't myself find this file on the directory that it looks for.
I would really appreciate it if you can tell me any way that I can unlock the bootloader from the device (because outside of the device I tried different applications but with no luck...)
I have a cutom ROM for G630-U20 (not exact version for this device but almost similar) and if I can have a bootloader password I can try this one or any other customized ROM.
I would appreciate any way that you can show me to solve the problem.... either by changing permissions to solve this problem.
Thank you.

[Q] i think my phone has a rootkit

Hey guys. I have been trying to unlock my htc desire 320 and it appears to be not possible to do so at this time. Google searches pretty much confirm that. Sooooo like a moron I try iroot and framaroot. Iroot said successful and rebooted. It updated the android system on boot. I also had a very real looking system update appear a day before which also did the same thing. My friend with same phone and network didnt receive any such thing. Sketchy business amirite. I have discovered a hidden folder on my root directory which will reappear after deleting it without even rebooting.The folders name is d101m0o7bi1le. It has over 300 sub dirs. I have deleted system cache, and tried factory reset from recovery mode but it will not delete any apps or data. I would like to know how to restore the original rom or how else I could perhaps fix this hook. Thanks for any reply!
