[Q] I'm a noob

So as you all can tell....I'm new to this forum and to the Android platform as well. I just switched from my Iphone to the Galaxy S 4g and it has been great so far! After doing a little research myself I was able to root the phone via superoneclick. As I was reading further into the certain roms that are out and things I could do to further enhance my phone, I decided to get the new gingerbread 2.3.3. I used the program called Odin 1.7 to flash rom and besides from the known "rainbow screen issue and the low wifi signal" it is running smooth. I was just curious on what these programs called adb, cwm(clockwork mods I believe), and cyanogen7? are used for and how? I apologize for my noobness for asking these questions but I just feel like a kid in a candy store with no cash to spend hahah. If someone can redirect me to some links that can get me a general idea of how the Android software and mods work that would be great!!!

I remember signing up for these forums and not actually using them 'cause I was reading and trying to catch up with the vast amount of info available here... It was overwhelming to say the least.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. If you've ever used the command prompt, it's essentially the same. You type in commands and they get executed on the phone. I still argue that you get more power and flexibility through text-based programs, which ADB will let you use. You can use ADB if you use your phone to go into Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging (check the box next to it) then you can hook up your phone to the computer and run the ADB server on the computer. If you have superoneclick, it should've come with the ADB server as part of the tools.
CWM is a recovery mod, it sits on top of the phone's standard recovery program and gives you more power than the default one. You can make complete and partial backups of your phone's data in case you're flashing roms constantly and something goes wrong. You won't be able to use CWM with gingerbread at this moment since there's no support for it, but if you downgrade to Froyo, you'll be able to.

Cyanogen Mod isn't available for our phone yet, but it's a popular rom on the phones on which it is available.
Have fun!
EDIT:
You should probably bookmark the bible, lots of good references there:

welcome to the forum! glad everything works well for you on the first time flashing gingerbread. you can read up on everything in the bible thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
check out the guides and it should give you a pretty good feel on everything.

Welcome to XDA!
First of all, kudos to the fact that you're brand new and you've already learned to ODIN gingerbread yourself.
ADB is a way of transferring and editing files on your phone.
It's very useful for editing system files, etc.
Not really necessary for you to know right now.
CWM, or ClockWorkMod, is an easy way for you to change your phone theme, apply a ROM (a combination of themes, or modifications), or flash tweaks. Right now, Gingerbread doesn't have CWM but it should be coming in the near future.
For the basics and a few tutorials, look for the GS4G bible, and also look at my tiny little guide, here.

dan, whenever people ask for places to get info, i'm going to give the bible as well as a link to your site too, if thats cool. you have a ton of info and it saved me when i first bricked. lol. (it was like 1230 or something and search was down)

Nice! This helps a lot! Thanks again for all the help

Anytime. Again, welcome to XDA

Is there a link that shows how to set up adb. I tried on you tube but the computer still does recognize my phone. Im sure its the same for the android OS but im doin something wrong. Any help will do. Thanks

You honestly don't really need ADB if you have Root Explorer, or QuickSSH'd (which I love).
If you do end up getting QuickSSH'd I'd be glad to help you use it.

If you don't wanna pay for QuickSSHd you can also get SSHDroid
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
You install the app on your phone, then you can get a program on your computer that supports SSH
Putty
WinSCP
Tunnelier
I prefer Putty for running commands and Tunnelier for transferring files. When you run SSHDroid, it'll explain to you how to use it.

[Q] What is this symbol in Notification bar?

See the symbol between the wifi and the bars on the attached screen shot?
What does it mean?

Vibration ring
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I love when people start threads like this asking what a symbol means. 99.99999% of the time the answer is in the user manual and it would probably be easier to just look it up rather than start a thread. Just saying.

inb4 moved to Q&A lol
and yes it was completely unnecessary to start a thread about this, you can even google notification symbols for phones... however in the OP's defense who reads the manual

Well, sorry! I will pay more attention to the thread titles before I post next time. I most likely was brain dead when I asked this question because I spend the entire day Googling/studying how to make Astro SMB work on my phone. I downloaded several other apps that were supposed to do the same thing to no avail.
I messed with my phone and computer so much yesterday trying to get it to work that when I saw that symbol I thought I screwed something up, because before it showed up, I was able to connect to the computer and see some of the shared folders on my computer but only the Default User and the Guest Folder which were empty.
I placed one music file in the Default Music folder and saw it on my phone, but when I tried to play it, Astro said, "Astro does not support opening remote files at this time". I got the same answer from the app AndSMB. So what is the use of the function if you can not open the files and listen/look to/at them?
The way I got the phone to finally see the files was by changing the Firewall, AVG from Small Home and Office to Allow all.
But then I ran out of Download/internet from Hughes Net and hooked my phone to the computer to tether. When I unplugged the phone from that operation, the SMB thing would not work in either App.
Yesterday was the first day Google has ever failed me in trying to figure out something, there is absolutely nothing out there about SMB or file sharing that helped me figure out how to make it work. Even Microsoft's page about how to setup an network referred to things that were not on my computer as well as the Help and support files on this computer.
So I did try to figure out how to do what I wanted all by myself, and after a day of failure/frustration I panicked when I saw that symbol.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Android Rom and Banking Fraud?

Hello to all,
first of all forgive me if i am in the wrong forum. Second I am not an authority with ROMs and developing. I can flash a new ROM and follow guidance easily but that's it. Up to that.
I will tell you my scary experience with a specific rom which i installed a couple of days ago on my S3. First off all this post is not suppose to be rude to anyone or anything. I am telling you my story and I would appreciate your input as you are the experts.
3 days ago I installed the MIUI (http://miuiandroid.com/community) ROM on my S3.
As soon as I turned the phone on to run it for the first time I went to the typical set ups but then I noticed something.
On he top right corner of the status bar the a green phone icon appeared meaning that the phone was automatically set on "Call-diverting" .I dint pay any attention for about 30 mins as I was setting up the phone.
When I decided to see what the icon does to my sock and horror I realised that my phone was pre setted to call diverting automatically to a specific mobile number in the UK.
I quickly disabled the call diverting and dint think anything more. All of that happened around 12:30 in the afternoon (pay real attention to the times here).
about 10 minutes later I was at the office. around 2 hours after that I got a text message from my Bank to call them about a suspicious money transfer.
I called the bank and the told me that a few minutes earlier someone attempted to transfer 2000 pounds from my account. Of course my on-line banking was frozen and I was lucky not to loose the money.
Now, during these two hours my phone never rang just the text message from my bank. The bank security employee told me that it looked suspicious to them because whoever was trying to transfer the money asked for the 4 digit number via the automated bank security system to be diverted to another mobile number. The bank advised me to call my mobile carrier as I did.
The mobile carrier , when i talked to him, confirmed that someone called them and accessed my account by giving them all the right info, and requested that every time my phone was out of coverage all calls to be directed to another mobile!
have you guess what was the other mobile?? It was exactly the same mobile number as the pre-set on the ROM which I had installed 3 hours earlier!
And my bank confirmed that the same mobile was used in order to get the 4 digit pin.
I was shocked to say the least!!
When after a few minutes I managed to talk to my girlfriend , she told me that she was calling me earlier for about an hour. These phone calls never made it to my phone. As the phone was pre-setted to call diverting it was ringing to the diverted phone and not mine.
It is obvious that as I do mobile on-line banking and I access my accounts from my mobile (as many do), somehow they managed to get all the information about me and I am suspecting dodgy applications on my phone. I hope I am wrong but this experience has really shocked me.
I love android phones I love what you developers do but I am after you opinion in this one.
I am not here to offend any developers but to have a genuine answer and a sensible discussion about this issue. I am not a kid I am professional and this experience has really made me think twice about smart phones.

i think you're right, it wasn't the rom but some malware-/spyware-app.
assuming your phone was rooted, it would be easy for an app to do all kind of bad stuff once it got root-privileges, eg hiding on your sdcard and spying your data and after that establishing the call-divert to catch the 4digit-pin and the rest would be history.
only thing you could do is think what questionable apps with root privileges you installed in the last days before this happened, try to get a copy of it and have a closer look on it, maybe installing it without a simcard inserted or with a simcard without charge on it, to see what happens...
a big piece of luck would be some kind of log from about 1230h to see what established the call-divert, but if i would do such app i would ensure to delete all logs with traces afterwards, but who knows?
though, all of that are just the ideas that came to my mind as i read your post...
good luck for the investigation, would be interesting to know if you could get any information about what happened, so keep us updated, ok?
greetz,

It would be difficult for me to know which custom ROM is safe and which one is not! I am not an expert you see. And the same goes with apps. I don't think anyone can state with certainty that any are safe.
It is just shocking to know how easy it is for your details to "escape" !
I will keep you informed about how this goes.
jowett69 If you can tell me how to get that log you are talking about, that would be great.
In the meantime can anyone advise on a descent mobile data protection application? something which will prevent any sensitive data from leaking from my phone? Payware or freeware I don't mind.

A start might be to check the Superuser app and click on Log and see what apps received su permissions.
Also, from a cmd prompt you can enumerate all the running processes by running:
Code:
adb shell "busybox ps -A > /mnt/sdcard/process.log"
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/process.log
View process.log for anything suspicious, or post it up and I'll have a look.

I don't think I could do that my friend. As soon as I suspected that something with that ROM was wrong I performed a full wipe and installed omega 9.1 rom.
My question is this. By performing a full wipe should really erase any malware from the previous installation right? Can anyone advise on a descent antivirus/firewall application which will help me (and others like me) monitor and "block" unusual application behavior?

oh and one more question for my information...sensitive personal data can only be leaked when the device is rooted ? if it is not rooted am I safe?

did you wipe your internal and external sdcards too? how did you wipe? cause it depends where the malware was hiding, if it is erased now or not.
a simple, yet powerful firewall is droidwall. you can find it in the market. put it in whitelist-mode and allow only the stuff you know. but droidwall controlls "only" internet-connections (wifi and 3g or such). for full controll over every permission of every app and connection of your phone you sohuld use pdroid, but i don't know if that's really necessary, though i understand your fear. but if someone really wants to harm you and has some knowledge, there are always ways, i think...

not really, think of those apps you can use to root your device. think a bit further and one could make an app that roots your device and afterwards does the stuff it wants. but seriously, though it is possible, who would do that to you? that's what you should think about...
greetz,
sUsH
ps: cause you did a wipe, there's no possibilty of going through some logs, sry. (though this too depends on the way you wiped and what exactly you wiped...)

I did a full wipe to install the new rom...wipe cache data ...devlink and one more but cant remember it

[Q] I've searched. I swear! I suck.

I've been searching all $*#(&$# day. Please be kind. I'm about to cry.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S 4g when they first came out. I rooted because I heard I could delete the "bloat" and regain disk space. I had no trouble rooting, but my phone has never worked right and I'm ALWAYS getting out of disk space messages, even though I've moved every possible app to the SD card. At some point I lost the ability to send or receive picture text messages so I went hunting online. I don't remember the steps I took or how I took them, but somehow I changed the model of my phone to say HTC Vision. It was on recommendation from someone somewhere, but it was over a year ago and I can't find the thread I originally read.
Fast forward to now. I got the out of disk space error AGAIN, so I used Titanium Backup to delete some stuff. Yes, I'm a dumbass and I must have deleted something that looked unimportant, but WAS. Now both email and text messaging crashes. I can receive a text, but messaging crashes before I can reply. I can make and receive calls.
I've been looking for a day and a half to try to find a stock rom with instructions to "flash" back to factory settings. (I put these terms in quotes because, while I've seen them everywhere, I really don't know what they mean). I've downloaded the updated Kies program, but it won't recognize my phone. Possibly because it thinks it's an HTC Vision? I've also installed Odin in preparation for reinstalling the stock rom. I keep hitting a wall whenever I find a link to what I think is a stock rom - I get a stupid ilivid link and nothing else. I've avoided installing ilivid, but I went ahead and installed it to try to get the rom. I don't know what else to do.
I'm sorry this is so long. My level of proficiency is just enough to get myself into a lot of trouble with no knowledge to get myself out. Can anyone help in a "for dummies" answer? Thanks in advance.

one click back to stock should do the trick. I believe you do it twice for bootloader.

Don't cry lol. Go to this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
and download the one click. All you have to do is open it up and click flash and everything is done for you. When its done, your phone will be just as it was when you opened the box it came in. As a word of advice though, don't use titanium backup to move apps to the SD card. It does more harm than is justified for saving a few MB's, because system apps aren't meant to be used from the SD card. If you don't use them, just delete them.

Thank you!!!
You all are amazing. I now successfully have Gingerbread stock (when I used to have Froyo) and everything seems to be working just like it should. I think I'll leave my phone alone now. I tried to swim in the deep end, but I belong in the kiddie pool! This is all above my head. Thank you again! MWAH!!!

If adding a new device is a bunch of extra work just point me in that direction and I'll put everything together if need be. Thanks. Again, sorry if this is out of line.

I have never posted here either, but have also frequented here over the last several years. I have this device, as well as a few other Blu products, just started learning them recently. Its a mediatek course, have poke around with various features , still trying to unlock the bootloader. Did successfully unlock the bootloader on my Blu v50 (g50 plus clone), but the process is not the same. I created an account for this, will be watching here and on a few other devices, hopefully we can get some info to continue tinkering

Well, I see there's not been any action here yet. Xda is hit or miss for less popular devices. I plan on messing with the b140dl tonight, hopefully unlock the bootloader and patch/flash magisk, I'll post the results either way.

I'd like to find a twrp or the firmware.. if a boot.bin or boot.img exists yet as I've been unsuccessful so far. Any kinda help much appreciated

Has anyone made any progress on this device in the last month or two? I know we all got lives to live but I could use some help....

i got into the phone by opening emergency calls. Then adding and editing emergency contact info. You will see the option to whe re you can call or send a text. choose text, then the three dots in top right corner allowing you to select details. In details click on notifications, then click the middle of the top of the screen which will open the messages app info. Now click open. open settings and choose permissions. Now you should see the search icon in the top right corner. Click it and type apps. In the apps go to play services and disable it, go back to where you typed apps and type accessibility. Go to accessibility and select the first option, think it is the accessibility menu. open it and turn it on...Now go all the way back to the start screen. Open the accessibility and and select the assistant. You will be asked to enable play services. after doing this you should be able to set up the device...if not restart the device and you should be able to then...If I haven't forgotten anything...I am going on memory alone with no device to refresh my steps...goodluck

Lo' there have you or anyone else made any headway on the B140DL? I have 2 of these little Blu Bastards and totally went Frankenstein on one of them. (Yes it still works) I have found the reboot "Test Points" but haven't been successful in forcing Brom mode. If you can get it into Brom mode you can get MTK Client to recognize it and run the script to unlock the bootloader. But I'm not sure about getting it out of Brom after that. I'm not afraid to find out, I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Lo' there have you or anyone else made any headway on the B140DL? I have 2 of these little Blu Bastards and totally went Frankenstein on one of them. (Yes it still works) I have found the reboot "Test Points" but haven't been successful in forcing Brom mode. If you can get it into Brom mode you can get MTK Client to recognize it and run the script to unlock the bootloader. But I'm not sure about getting it out of Brom after that. I'm not afraid to find out, I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Any update on this phone by any chance? Which test points are the correct ones?? I've been trying to figure It out for hours. And how did you find that info out if you don't mind me asking, just curious.

Turned mine on for the first time in a couple months, saw there's a security update. Won't be installing that, it seems unlikely but I'll hold out hope that a way to root or unlock bootloader is discovered for this phone someday. I'm on the July 5, 2022 update.

Ive tried this FRP bypass and I dont have the option of choosing permissions when I go to edit the text file. I have been able to get into drive but still havent found the app permissions options maybe it has been patched? The phone was last updated security wise oct 10 2022

The only thing I have gotten it to do from test point is reboot. The only thing that I can tell you is tear it down and start shorting them out one by one. But be careful, don't stay on point for too long. You may end cooking something.
