Is Rooting An Android Smartphone Dangerous?

Easily root Android phone by installing a program

A blogger has publicized what he says is a “one-click” method for rooting an Android phone, including instructions and files necessary to do so. The author of RyeBrye.com has credited someone using the alias Zinx for a process to root a phone by installing an .apk file on an Android phone that roots the device without requiring additional steps.

The process is much simpler than previous rooting efforts: Install the flashrec.apk, click on Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4, and power off/on your phone to ensure that it worked. Just like that, you’ve got a rooted phone.

The danger of rooting a phone has previously been that novice users risked making a mistake that would permanently damage the phone. This decreases the chance of that happening, but Rye says that this process is STILL dangerous and makes no guarantee about whether or not your phone can be damaged.

RyeBrye is hosting the files and explaining the set-up process for a limited time. Read it thoroughly and make sure you know what you’re doing before attempting to root your phone.

[RyeBrye.com]

Known issues:

• If your phone doesn’t work with cyanogen 1.4’s image (which I believe are 32A based HTC Dreams) you should probably not use this. If recovery fails to boot, you should be able to pull the battery and reboot into the normal phone and then open the recovery flasher app again and “restore” your backed up recovery.img – but no promises… This is all done at your own risk.
• The exploit used (CVE-2009-2692) in this hack is already patched. The kernel was patched upstream on August 11th, so it is likely that an update will be pushed out from T-mobile VERY quickly to help prevent malicious people from using this same exploit.
• Apologies in advance to anyone who has to work quickly and work hard to patch this exploit in the wild. (Although it should be noted that if you just shipped phones that weren’t neutered in the first place, it would save us all a lot of work and help us all be on the same team… but that’s a topic for another post.)

MyBro Green Packet DV235T Stock Firmware Update Help

Recently I have posted about SmartBro new product that they wanted to promote the myBro aka "Abot kaya wireless home broadband" the 4G WiMAX wireless internet that uses the Green Packet CPE model DV235T. What I do not know is that this 4G wireless modem router device has been already tweaked silently almost a year done by many forumers and it has just leak this few weeks by SB netizen that stock firmware updates have been compromised and leak the links to Google.

With my curiosity to have also the updates whom I wish to be able to tweak my donated DV235T I'll keep on searching until I stumble upon to the source. There are at least two (2) Green Packet stock firmware for myBro DV235T that has been seeded online one is for free (web_update-3_5G-v2.10.14-g.1.0.5-gp.tar.gz) and the other is you must have to pay (web_update_v2.10.14-g.1.0.4-gp.tar.gz) whom I paid it for U$35 via remote update and the only copy I have is on the Chips itself of Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR since I badly needed it the only option of mine is "take it or leave it".

After my DV235T has been updated remotely here how it looks like, you can check on my other post the details of the Green Packet stock firmware v2.10.14-g.1.0.4-gp. The most interesting here is the Hardware model:WIXFMM-144 and also the Frequency range:2300000KHz~2400000KHz, 2490000KHz~2700000KHz. Make sure before you upgrade to any updates of your device firmware you have a screenshot for your reference and for your comparison. If you go back to the myBro Smart customized firmware v2.10.14-g1.0.7-smart here's how it looks like.

It only shows that Green Packet stock firmware v2.10.14-g.1.0.4-gp is the right firmware updates for the myBro DV-235T 4G WiMAX wireless broadband modem router because it is for Hardware model:WIXFMM-144. In addition, the  Frequency range:2490000KHz~2700000KHz is also being added. 

On the other hand, going here to the free Green Packet stock firmware (web_update-3_5G-v2.10.14-g.1.0.5-gp.tar.gz) you will notice that the updates or firmware is for CPE Hardware model:WIXFMM-129,  likewise taking a look closely to the Frequency range:3300000KHz~3600000KHz obviously the firmware will not suite to the myBro DV235T. It may or may not work perfectly because of mismatch hardware model and firmware updates. As I have tested with the given above firmware the myBro Green Packet DV235T will not bricked  as you can see I have the screenshot of it. There are three (3) issue I have found out using this firmware, one the WiMAX LED signal has strong indicator or very high though if you open you GUI on RSSI is most likely the same dBm with ver.04. Second is the the trade off, your built-in WiFi signal is getting weaker. Third, it can connect but unstable, you will be facing frequent disconnection so there is no used of upgrading to this stock firmware (web_update-3_5G-v2.10.14-g.1.0.5-gp.tar.gz) you will be having a headache definitely.

Since I DO NOT have the stock firmware in me or I can't get any firmware online because of no one is willing to seed it. The only remedy is on the Chips Hynix H27U1G8F2BTR using NAND flasher/programmer (I/you) can copy the raw firmware but can not use it via GUI upgrade only thru TSOP48 write it directly to the NAND Flash memory to be able for you/your myBro aka DV235T work it perfectly with out worries on changing the WAN MAC address, disconnection, WiFi weak signal etc....

Hope this article will help those netizen have upgrade their myBro Green Packet DV235T 4G WiMAX wireless modem router with the wrong firmware.

PS3 NOR FLASH GONE BAD ?

I have a CECH 2051b with progskeet installed. I followed a tutorial called noobs guide to downgrade from 3.7x. (found here) http://www.ps3hax.net/2011/08/noob-tuto ... kmeaw-cfw/

My console was running kmeaws 3.55 when it was updated by a child. I had enough soldering skills to get the install done but ran into problems with flashing.

I started by Dumping 4 different nor dumps from my JSD-001 with spansion and then followed the instructions to patch with transplant+ v1 then import to flow rebuilder and flashed finished patch file. It flashed to 100 percent, but with many errors on verification. (Used winskeet4000 on WIN7 ULTIMATE N) Would have used xp but could not get progskeet to recognize in virtual box.

After this flash I waited 30 minutes and the PS never rebooted. I finally pulled plug and reboot back to a black screen only. Green power light when turned on but black screen and no access to FSM. I tried to flash original dump back on it and got same results so I decided it must be the flash side of the progskeet. My wires were long so I decided to de-solder everything, shorten the wires and start over. Now I have re-soldered and tried rebooting and only get three beeps when I press power. If I press the eject button the fan comes on and stays on but still will not power the progskeet.

Has anyone run into this problem or found a way out of it? why would the system stop powering on now completely? Any help would be appreciated.

Couple of install pics.....

Need to be done before patching and trying anything else as follows:

1- make at least 5 dumps of the original NOR image
2- compare the dumps to check if you have a proper reading
3- extract the dump using flowrebuilder to see if it's valid as a first check.
4- check the dump well following the steps and details on PS3DevWiki. ---> Validating the Dump
5- once you are sure you have a 100% valid dump, you must flash it back to PS3 NOR to ensure you also have a stable/reliable writing method/setup ---> Test Report Table

If all this worked fine, you can proceed to patch the NOR dump using the Simplified Downgrade V2 method ( also found on PS3DevWiki with the patches to use ) --> NOR patching

No more need for the "transplante" software in Simplified Downgrade V2, the tutorial you followed seems to be still using the very first method Downgrade V1.

Now your PS3 is not booting because it doesn't have a valid image flashed in the NOR, you mentioned that writing had verification errors so probably your writing method was not stable,

also I would like to mention here that many times the very old version of Progskeet Flasher works much better then the latest winskeet released.

Here's the link to the old Flasher I use for Flashing the NOR image back into PS3 ----> ProgSkeet 110819 Flasher

You can also see the successful results from the table linked here ---> Test Report Table

Also for more help you can join our IRC channel on Efnet called: #ps3downgrade where lot of guys are willing to help you in detail to solve your problem and get the PS3 working fine again, most of the discussions and help about downgrading is going in that channel... (#Ps3downgrade)

MyBro : How-To Change MAC Green Packet DV-235T

We all know that the new product of SmartBro the "MyBro Abot Kaya Broadband" 4G WIMAX is a super secured customized firmware by Smart/PLDT ISP as of today. Saying that so its not insecured because many of us has already have tried navigating it graphical interface (gui) including the telnet portion with used of "smart" username and password account but end up with limited privileged, some of the menus are missing likewise on the command line interface (cli) if your wireless modem device is already updated with the firmware v2.10.14-g1.0.6-smart over the air (OTA) then the chances on tweaking your MyBro CPE is none of the above.

In this section, the oldest released of MyBro 4G WiMAX DV-235T that the firmware has not been updated OTA is firmware version v2.8.7.2-154 if you have this kind of CPE customized firmware by Smart/PLDT then you are all the way to be able to change the WAN MAC address of your Green Packet DV235T.

So here's the DIY on how-to change the MAC address of MyBro 4G WiMAX Green Packet DV-235T.

First, if you are not at eased with telnet utility then you can use Putty as an alternative to it you can download from here. Extract anywhere on your desktop, then login to the Web gui default address http://192.168.0.254 with the username and password as "admin".

Check the Network Status, take note of your current WAN MAC address in case you want to put it back just save it on a notepad. Next is open the Putty utility via SSH or Telnet the option is yours with the default IP address 192.168.0.254.

Login as "admin" for the username and password its same with the web gui account.

The next thing we do is use these following commands orderly to change the WAN MAC address successfully.

enable

router

wmx freq add 2638000 10
commit
wmx widescan add 2505000 2639000 1000 10
commit
exit
reboot

From the screenshot above we have just successfully change the WAN MAC address of MyBro 4G WiMAX Green Packet DV-235T likewise the allotted working frequency of the wireless broadband modem. Please wait the CPE will reboot, login again verify that your MyBro DV235T WAN MAC address now has totally changed.

The MyBro firmware version v2.8.7.2-154 is very rare to find since all CPEs are being updated thru TR069 over the air (OTA) by the Smart/PLDT system the chances to get this firmware is very reluctant because the person who have this don't want to leak or seed it to any forum (their business). Its not totally a hopeless for us since there is already an alternative of doing this, there is another Green Packet firmware its a stock firmware you can upload the firmware via web gui if you do not have the NAND flash programmer or write it directly with the TSOP48 socket with any alternative NAND flasher.

Huawei BM622m Best NAND Flasher Programmer

As we all know the new BM622m is the replacement of the legacy Huawei Echolife BM622 and BM622i 4G WiMAX wireless broadband modem router. This new device have more advantages than those two old model wireless residential gateway. Taking a look on the hardware of the BM622m it is equip with a NAND flash memory HYNIX HY27US08561A  using TSOP48 package unlike BM622 built with NOR flash memory such as Spansion S29GL064 or STMicro M29W640 likewise same 48pins. 

The hardest part of BM622m is the reverse engineering, if you wanted to dump the flash memory into a raw file of this CPE its not as easy as that of BM622 and BM622i unit were MiniPro TL866CS programmer won't support for dumping it.

One of the best NAND programmer I have found on the net is the Flash Doctor, in contrast to MiniPro TL866CS  programmer that support more than 11 thousand of Chips except for NAND flash memory.

Flash Doctor supports all NAND-based flash storage devices (SD, SM, MMC, XD, USB Pendrive, MemoryStick, CompactFlash etc.), with damaged controller or any other front ends (PCB, etc.) since Flash Data Recovery Doctor needs to work on the flash memory only when users carry out Flash Data Recovery.

Hopefully this article will help my avid reader and commenter who has been longing for their BM622m to dump the firmware to be able for them to downgrade their WiMAX CPE.
