I was wondering if you can spoof the device id on android devices....
A firewall is blocking all devices except for BlackBerry devices. I want to spoof my device ID to appear as a BlackBerry so I can access the exchange server remotely.
If there is no way to spoof does anyone know of any different workarounds?
Please help!!!

There is an exchange server that is blocking all devices besides Blackberries? Never heard of one like that. What happens when you try to set up the account using HTC Mail?
It is already setup with HTC mail. It works when i'm on my work wifi because i'm already past the firewall that is blocking devices from the exchange server. When I try to access remotely, I get denied. It works fine with all blackberries. I know this because I tried with a blackberry and it worked fine. They only allow blackberries because that is he only kind of device they issue.
bump - someone help me on this please.....
Flipz?
It works with blackberries because BB uses BIS an email server that is proprietary to BB, and it bypasses your company's exchange server.. Unless you are set up for a BES exchange server, which is an additional monthly fee, and if that is the case, there is no way to make an HTC device connect to BES because it is a BB service..
Also, as of yesterday, any cellular "spoofing", be it caller id or anything else, is now a federal offense.

Thanks for the info but we use BES which then connects to the exchange server. The only reason it works is because the firewall allows BB device IDs. If I could spoof to appear to be a BBC I would be fine.
Also regarding your statement about spoofing, the bill is specific to spoofing caller ID and not specific to cell phones. Also, isn't law yet; requires further approval.

There is no such thing..
The blackberry connects to BES by your BB PIN... If you don't have a BB.. There is no way to "spoof".
The phone would have to be registered by BB on their server as a BB device by the PIN, which there is no way to "spoof" unless you find some way to hack into RIM.. Good luck with that approach.
Also, regarding your statement about the "Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010" which was passed by *CONGRESS* and immediately ratified, does not require any further approval. And is now effectively a law..
It also does not have any clarification between "spoofing" and "spoofing caller id".. The only clarification is that any attempt to "spoof" the originating call location. (I.e. phone number or location, and the only exception to that is you are still allowed to block that information. "Spoofing would lead the call receiver, in this case BB, to not have accurate call originating information, which in turn, is spoofing and a federal offense....

First off, you obviously don't know much about Exchange and the way ANY device interacts with it. BES is esentially a tunnel to get you from your BB to the exchange server. The BES still needs to get through the firewall to get to the exchange server. The firewall can be configured in many different ways. The most common are A) allow the entire BES access or B) allow specific device IDs access. Are you starting to understand?
Secondly, you're a f*cking idiot. Congress is not the final approver of this bill. Obama has not signed off on it, which means it is not law yet. And it is specific to Caller ID. If you had even processed the title of the bill correctly in your peanut-sized brain, you would know this. Please check your facts before you post and make yourself look like a douchebag.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ytech_wguy/20100415/tc_ytech_wguy/ytech_wguy_tc1637
Now if there are any devs out there that can shed some light on where the device ID is stored or even how to spoof it, please respond!
Not worth it...
PS.. Take a guess as to what your "DEVICE ID" is..
Wow.... I already know what my device ID is. I asked how to change or spoof it.
My device ID is: HTCAnd444430*
Ya know.... they should really make you pass a test to be able to post on forums. Then I would have to deal with idiots like azyouthinkeyeiz.
Um....wouldn't common sense dictate that any sort of spoofing be ethically challenging? Well I would like to think that some things are just better not left to chance. I am not trying to be all goody goody and claim I don't do anything that isn't entirely lawful......but with how nutty the FCC can be, trying to spoof your device ID is akin to MAC spoofing to bypass security measures even if it is not for malicious intent. It can't and won't end well.
Just my two cents....
Off topic... but I wonder what that bill means, if anything, for those of us using Google Voice configured to display our GV number instead of our 'real' number.
Although not the answer you are looking for, you can do this using Nitro Touchdown Exchange.

Ok. The question was not what your device id is, its a question of what your device id should be, which is a bb pin. (*which might I add since you keep saying Device ID, has no relevance to anything in your HTC HERO Phone, it is just a entry field label on BES for entering your BB PIN #)
Good luck trying to get it to work. Lol.. You're trying to tell a Network Admin and Sprint Tech (me) that I know nothing of, something I use everyday...
Now that I am at work not on my phone... You can use your HTC Device ID all you want.. But it means nothing.. Obviously, since it doesn't work as of now, does it? You need to have the BB "device ID" , which is if you had any sense to you at all, very apparent, as I've told you a thousand times already that it is the BB PIN.. Those are on a whitelist and to access BES your device has to be on that list, and activated through a carrier, with the attached SOC code for the BES plan..
You can access from your work, not because it passes some *firewall*, but because it bypasses BES because you are logging directly into the Exchange Server, through the local network, and that is nothing new, any business with BES is set up exactly the same.. To access your Exchange Server from home, your company uses the BES Gateway, and to use that, you have to have access to BES. And without the SOC code from your service, a BB PIN registered on the Blackberry Network, and the correct settings for your exchange server, you cannot access your email.
So next time, before you start throwing insults and acting like you know anything, at least have the key terms down... Just because the IT guy at work threw some terms around at you, doesn't mean you know anything..
You ask for help with something you obviously know nothing about, and then act like you have answers. And two people even told you, that whatever you think you are dealing with, they have never heard of before.. (a firewall that blocks anything but blackberries??? I mean really?)
You sir are an incompetent clown.
*edit.. I have also been looking all morning for anything that would even suggest that you have any idea of what you are talking about, and there are 4 HTC WinMO devices(TOUCH's and the TYTNII) that you can download a program that allows access for those specific HTC models.. Nothing else..
Ok, lets stop the name calling.
To the OP: Am I correct in assuming you've asked the Exchange Admins to add the Hero device ID and they denied the request? If so, then don't mind me. It seemed like the logical first step.
I haven't read the bill which passed (yet) but I will... Just a few notes.
The Bill has passed both Senate and House versions, it is NOT law yet, but probably will be soon. I see some issues though with the terms being somewhat Vague. Yes, it will be nice that telemarketers and such will no longer being able to hide, but INTENT is a big glaring need which has to be addressed. I mean, come on... There are PERFECTLY legitimate reasons for not wanting to give your number to someone or to give the impression you are calling from a number, i.e., masking your location.
(Honey, I'm at my friend John's house playing cards, be home late tonight)... Lmao...
To make this type of instance a Federal Crime is just "out of this world ridiculous". Big Brother on Steroids... Or what one Judge said recently, that "those who seek anonymity are only doing so for Illegal purposes". NOT!!!... So I wonder then is Ghost writers can be arrested and pseudonyms result in a 10 year stint... Come on... What next? E-mails must be your name? How about that Federal Registry/I.D. #, hell, why don't we just use our Social Security number for everything??? Forget Credit cards, bank accounts, etc...
But anyway, welcome to the New U.S. of A... where all you get to do is breathe without it being tracked, watched, cataloged, traced, recorded, stored, etc., all without your knowledge, permission or ability to resist.

You obviously do not know squat about exchange servers, corporate networks, etc... if you have not heard of ISA. ISA is a popular firewall, which my company uses with the exchange server. ISA can and is configured to manage access to certain phone models based off Device ID. All of the allowed devices IDs are BlackBerry IDs. I know for a fact my problem has nothing to do with BlackBerries using a BES. Remember, I have access on wifi, just not remotely and my friends on the exchange team confirmed this for me.
I work in IT but do not manage the exchange/ISA servers. Even if I did, our environment would require a change control for a change like this. We have asked to have our device IDs added to access the exchange server but the change committee has not decided yet if they will grant it. Again you would know nothing about these things as you are a Sprint techie.
I'm not on these boards with the intention of being rude and name calling as you are. I am sorry I lowered my standards and insulted you; I just can't stand ignorant people that think they know everything when really most everything they say/type is false. I simply created this topic in search of a way to change my device ID. I do not care if it is unlawful, wrong, yadda, yadda, yadda. If you or anyone else that reads this knows how to do this, please respond.
To the fellow that suggested Nitro Touchdown. I tried this software but it only allows you to spoof your client agent ID. ISA is configured by Device ID. Thanks for the suggestion but no luck there.
I never said I had never heard of ISA.. I said there's not a firewall that only blocks non-blackberries.. You can block whatever you want with firewalls, its not a feature that it blocks blackberries..
I am telling you the answer, even with ISA, the problem you are having is, the option on the admin side of ISA, is to allow all devices, to allow all devices from BES, or to allow user privileges. There is no button for blackberry/HTC/Apple.. You cannot access the server because you cannot pass through BES without a PIN..
I did no name calling, read back, you stooped there yourself pretty harshly, and I am still helping you... [mirror]
LISTEN- You can connect on your work's wifi, because it is directly accessing the server from an IP on the LOCAL NETWORK.. When you connect to the server on your phone through the mobile network, you are accessing from the PUBLIC DOMAIN.. Which from your explanations, indicates that they allow access only through BES... Since "it only allows blackberries"...
Changing your device ID (if even possible) is going to create more problems than it solves. You basically have 2 options for the device ID:
1 - Change the stored device ID in the handset. This will break all kinds of functionality as every single call the OS makes to getDeviceID() will return an invalid value. My guess is that no applications are coded to respond correctly to a BB device.
2 - Only use a different device ID in the email software. This would require you to write a custom application to get Exchange support.
If you can connect with a desktop PC via VPN, you might want to take a look at RoadSync -- it provides Exchange access over VPN via a proxy server. I believe the current version only has support through 1.6, so if you're running 2.1 you may have to roll back your rom to install it.

Recently I hooked up my WM6 device to my company's Exchange server. A security protocol was automatically installed. One of the restrictions of this protocol is that you must enter a password (1) every time the device is restarted and (2) after 5hrs of non-usage.
Therefore, I can't use my PDA as an alarm clock any more. At the time I want an alarm, it starts up silently and waits for a password.
Is there a workaround that anyone can think of?
What version of Exchange? What endpoint security are they using?

No idea and don't know. Is this something I can check from my PDA? If not, I'm unlikely to find out. It's a large corporation (not a 50 person small business).
You had a slim chance anyways, because it's all set up in your profile on the Exchange server. Your best bet is to talk to your IT dept. and see what they can do for you.
I know what you're trying to do is a viable functionality with the security they have set up, you just have to convince them to do it.
Good luck!

i'm a net admin and administer our exchange 03 server with about 40 wm devices. i have not had a chance to see what the new features of 07 allow device security policy, but the standard ms windows mobile admin tools are pretty limited. i only use the administration tool to remotely kill devices or check sync times. there must be some kind of pretty complex endpoint security software that they are using. granted security should not be taken lightly, but do you work for the nsa, fbi, cia or a company that works for them? other than that, every 5 hours (waking up) seems like overkill. basically, damn that sux.
however, its incredibly not useful, but you could delete the exchange connection (it probably doesn't even allow you to do this) and then just check your email through oma or owa. maybe even pop3 if its open (doubtful). if you can't delete the connection, hard reset the device
QUESTION 1
I've been flashing and reflashing ROMs for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed with Dutty's latest endeavor. In anticipation of the v4 release, I'm hoping someone in the community can tell me if it is possible to backup an over-the-air (OTA) enterprise activation of BB Connect. Currently I'm calling our technical support guys who, sooner than later I'm sure, will start asking why I have to have to get a new OTA activation password (which they change as soon as you use it) every 5-7 days.
So, in short: moving from one ROM to the next and want to back up OTA BBConnect enterprise activation. Possible? If so, how?
QUESTION 2
Any BES administrators out there willing to tell me if my Tilt/Kaiser shows up on the BES (v4) differently than a BlackBerry (like the POS 7280 I'm given by the company). If so, is there a way to "spoof" that since my company will not allow non-blackberry devices.
QUESTION 3
When using the stock AT&T ROM, my Tilt respects the (highly restrictive, Bluetooth disabling, password-enforcing, ridiculous) IT Policy pushed by the BES administrator. When I flashed to Dutty's DualTouch ROM v3 Final, this no longer happened. Now, it just reads "default" for the IT Policy. Is this a fluke or some wonderful reg entry that we need to identify and protect like diamonds?
Thanks, all.
Cheers,
Your Local Village Idiot

We run BES here and indeed non-blackberry devices are reported as the phone model when you look up the phones information.
This could probably easily be spoofed to whatever you like. If you hacked the blackberry connect application, or intercepted and modified the data passed over to BES. You could make it say anything you want at that point.
I'd get "in" with your IT guys and that way they can pull a favor for you now and then with the BES server. Other then that, have the company pay for a blackberry phone and carry two phones around, or refuse to carry a company phone and don't use your personal phone for company resources. If they're blocking your productivity by a poorly guided company policy, make it cost them money. Don't inconvenience yourself to keep your productivity as an employee on par.
Really though, it's not feasible to secretly go behind your employers back with your tilt. I think it's ridiculous a company wouldn't let you use your Tilt -- though probably because the corporation is uneducated or ignorant to the fact that the Tilt can be locked down just as well as a blackberry phone. Too bad the employer has a bunch of pointy haired management types running around who don't know what they're doing and out of ignorance banned non-BB devices.
Jon,
Thank you for your prompt reply and clarification on what shows up at the BES. Hacking the BB connect app is beyond my current knowledge set, but I may look into it if I'm unable to find a simpler solution.
Unfortunately, my company has several thousand employees so my productivity concerns are far outweighed by their misinformed security concerns. I've pitched the benefits of BB connect, WM5/6 devices and direct-push Exchange sync, but my pitch falls on deaf ears. They have provided me a BB 7280 and some get newer 8XXX devices, but beyond that we're expected to be happy with what we have. I'm even buying a non-camera Tilt to replace my two week old Tilt because they won't allow personal camera phones (all BB connect issues aside). You'd think I work for MI-6...
Cheers,
T.V.I.

Here's how you do it
you could use the desktop software instead of OTA. this will activate the phone without requiring you to get a new activation code.
Here's how I back up and restore. This has worked often, and not worked a few times.
Try to follow this exactly for best results.
get task manager v2.7 from fdcsoft
tap the blackberry icon on the taskbar and suspend the service under status
start taskmanager, and go to services. stop the two blackberry services, log and security.
open file explorer, and copy the directory RIM in /application data to your storage card
flash your phone with whatever-
copy the RIM folder back to /application data from your storage card
load blackberry connect (this should be the same version you had, otherwise you may have issues)
tap the blackberry icon in settings-system
instead of installing, you should see a window that says "repairing settings"
your old password should be restored, and the phone will lock and ask you to unlock. use your password you had before the backup.
all of your folders and mail should be back.
This works about 90% of the time.
some issues I've had-
multiple blackberry folders- one with emails, one with nothing.
folders missing, a bunch of email in drafts folder.
older messages no longer sync with desktop
good luck!
Hello all
I've been reading this forum for some months now and i like the windows'es and informations i've found here on my Hermes device
But now i have some questions on using the often integrated tool field test.
I've found out that with the IMSI-catcher (german wikipedia as one of the sources), that are more and more often used semi-legal by the police(here in europe there are a lot of 'GA-90' devices sold to the police and other institutions), it is possible to listen to phone calls(man in the middle attack), by just 'emulating' the strongest phone-cell in the area, to which the device connects instead of connecting to the provider's cell.
I also read that it would be possible to find out if there was an imsi-catcher device active in the area near you or not. The only thing needed is a special monitor software (field test?) that observes the MNC(Mobile Network Codes) behavior(appearently you need 2 handy's from the same provider with the monitoring software running).
But they didn't explain exactly on which behavior you should pay attention.
Since I could use 2 windows mobile devices to test this out, I am searching for more detailled information on this subject, and the first place that came in my mind was xda-developers
I allready did search this forum for the subject imsi catcher, and the only thing I've found is this.
google result
so one person who tries to change hies imei number, and another one who doesn't seem to know exactly what an imsi catcher can do.
Is here anyone who knows more?
I know that where I live, there are pple who make abuse with IMSI-catchers(catching calls without the permission from a judge or similar, or even one time someone listening to his girlfriends phone calls to see if she's cheating(and she did and that was the reason he left her))And yes this one was a young policeman who told that to his friends and even was proud of it.
I also dislike the fact that the handy, instead of the encrypted one with the provider's cell, has an non encrypted connection to the imsi catcher(if not there would be no possibility for a listening man in the middle attack).
I also read about the cellphones from http://www.cryptophone.de/
Appearently they do allways have encrypted conversations even through an Imsi-catcher. But if that would be true, the other side will need the same handy to decrypt it again. Because it has to encrypt, the allready encrypted data traffic with the provider's cell, if not it can't allow any protection against IMSI -Catcher devices. I also ask myself if, depending on where u want to use it, the 2nd encryption could produce a to huge phone traffic that could result p.ex. in a robot voice...
Anyone who could light me up?
Or is there any software able of reencrypting the encrypted transfer on windows mobile devices?technically it should be possible(2nd phone dialer installed so you choose the normal one for normal calls and 2nd one for calls with pple who also have this software installed on their phones)perhaps not with an 256 bit encryption but perhaps with a 128 or 64 bit encryption...
BTW, if there would be anyone able to programm such a hot piece of software for windows mobile devices I wouldn't have any problem to donate him with paypal, and i suppose other pple would do the sameAnd no I don't wanna replace that by Voip or skype via HTC...
Thanks in advance
Patrick
So no one who knows more about this?
I would be very happy if i could at least test if they're really used that often as they say they are(where i live).
And since i could try it in different major 'cities' over here, i suppose catching a imsi catcher soon or later
I'm quite curios if all the pple, telling that there is a lot of abuse with these machines, are right, or if that's all nonsens...
It would be nice if a warning icon could be integrated into Windows Mobile or the dialer to indicate that a call is not being encrypted. Read the Wikipedia entry for IMSI-catcher for more info. I'm guessing CDMA is largely unaffected since the hole seems to rely on the UMTS spec's backward-compatibility with GSM.
I'd also like to note that Skype is the way to go for true endpoint to endpoint call encryption. You know, if you're a gangster or something and need to brush off the popos. It would be interesting to investigate whether the WM6 integrated VOIP stack requires authentication/encryption.
I wanted to know if there is a way to set from what area your IP shows up as when you connect to the internet on your Android phone?
For instance, I have a T-mobile G2 and when I connect speedtest.net or an IP finding website, it shows the location of my IP address. Usually its close, sometimes its far away.
Is there any way to choose a static IP or range of IP's to narrow down where my IP is located? i.e. can I choose to spoof my IP to show me in another state? I'm rooted running CM6.1 so I'm down for things that need root access.
Thanks in advance for info/help. I'm gonna continue to research this as well.
Its going to show the location where the IP should be.
maxmind.com is a good lookup to see where the IP should be coming from. (background- they are designed for charging websites, your IP says you are in Nigeria, or Flordia, or wherever, but you are having your order shipped to Washington, so we need to check for fraud more carefully, or hulu and not allowing to be viewed outside US - but same applies to any country)
Especially on celluar, its going to depend on the cell network, your phone likely is behind their NAT. If the NAT is in the same city you are, its going to be really close.
Example Rogers in Canada has 2 cities as far as I can tell with equipment in Montreal and Toronto (when I was getting external DHCP addresses it was one of these 2 cities) Now that I have a static external address, I allways show as Montreal even when I'm on the West-Coast. When using the NATted addresses (10.x.x.x) it would allways show as Toronto (or Greater Toronto area) might have been Markham.
To spoof your IP to show you're in another state, I believe Giganews offers a VPN that will be comptable with just about everything, west coast US, east coast US, one in Asia and one in Europe.
This is going off memory, if I'm found incorrect, I'll edit the post.
Kevin
Thanks for the information. Makes a lot of sense. Now I just gotta figure out the proper way to set up the VPN on my phone. I've got to the VPN settings, I've just gotta figure out the proper setup
So basically the VPN settings on Android can accept any VPN address/info that I am signed up for? I don't really know if I wanna pay for a VPN and I know there are free alternatives, especially considering that I dont need any more services than what a free one offers.
Any and all of the free ones I've seen, are designed for computers, PC or Mac, they require software installed.
The reason I mentioned the Giganews VPN service, was because it is the PPTP standard vpn connection, so supported without a software application.
I am interested if you know of free ones that offer this.
Additionally, you also have to check to see if your provider blocks VPN connections on your phone. Rogers does unless you pay extra for a non-NATted IP. So its a trial and error. I know a few providers in the US have a VPN APN, which is designed for people using VPN services. I don't know which block VPN connections by default.
It should be compatible with PPTP and IPSEC VPN services.
Ok so I figured I would post my question here as this thread is already created and has keywords that pertain to my question/problem
Now I provide support for several end users and I need VPN access to their network/machine at a glance for the type of support I provide. I was thinking of something along the lines of something software based that would allow me to access their network (shared files mostly) but I cant think of anything that I can setup one time and not have to worry when they take the laptop/desktop home and their IP address changes or if their firewall is not properly configured.
Any solutions to this particular problem?
I was thinking of something Hamachi like but I do not need remote access I just need file sharing access and network access...
I know that Windows 7 and Server 2008r2 have a dial-less VPN that can be setup, the computer will connect to your VPN service, anytime it is on, and you would be able to share the files that way.
Or users dial the VPN whenever they log in, but that would stop you from connecting remotely after a reboot.
Ideally, they should be connecting to your server, and saving all their files there?
Not enough infomation to actually give you any other ideas, can PM me with what hardware and software you have to work with, mobile devices or not, ect.
Hi
Does anyone know how to import the wireless authentication certificate from Win7 (for a WPA-Enterprise Wifi Nework - most corporate wifi networks), and install it on Android ?
Use case: I have a laptop that connects to my work wifi using a stored certificate and would like my phone to connect to the corporate wifi as well.
Also, the company does not 'officially' support Android phones. Only BB and iPhone allowed.

Your IT let you connect BB and Iphones on the Corporate Network?
Look, as an IT administrator I'm going to say this... if your IT department wanted you to connect your Android device to the corporate network, they would provision it for you. If they are not provisioning it for you, you're probably breaking company policy. Even if it were possible, there's no way I'd help you do this.

I see. Well that's like saying - 'If Samsung wanted you to have KitKat on their older models, they'd provision it for you. I will not help you install kangs'.
Thanks anyway. I'll look elsewhere

Not really, no. Installing a Kang is not affecting someone's corporate network, putting it at risk and putting your job at risk and potentially causing massive problems for your IT department.
It's more akin to saying "My company doesn't want me to have a corporate credit card. They've given me the numbers for online purchases but I want to use it in a physical shop. Can you help me print the details to a blank card"
anyway, I said "even if it was possible", meaning in other words "it's not possible"

I full quote.
Anyway, on serious networks the are always port-security enabled and several checks at access and distributions layers. Say that, @imarvind, even if you can import your certificate, this is does not mean that you can reach connectivity
