[APP][FREE][Non-root] USSD vulnerability fix - Android Apps and Games

Hi XDA's !
I made a quite simple, small and free app that will help you to fix the recent showed USSD/MMI vulnerability which affects many android devices.
For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-0B04HPhs
Most Samsung phones are fixed to data wipe (there's not reported MMI command for HTCs), but still MANY Android devices are vulnerable to MMI commands including PIN code change ones, that can block your SIM card, after executing MMI command for PIN change more than 10 times with wrong PIN (for example malicious URL with 10 frames with PIN change instruction).
Please follow the installation instructions below:
1. Check if your phone is vulnerable - open your mobile browser and navigate to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
2. If your phone is vulnerable you will see your IMEI number displayed.
This means that service MMI commands can be executed on your phone, when you visit a malicious web page. The MMI commands are service commands, and if you see the IMEI it doesn't mean that your phone is vulnerable to the Samsungs data wipe vulnerability. BUT an attacker can still block your SIM card issuing a MMI string to change your PIN code more than 10 times. Finally your SIM card will be blocked.
3. If DON'T see the IMEI number, you are safe and you don't need this app
4. If you see a popup with your IMEI number, then install this app from Google Play (click on install button on the the left).
5. Once you install the app navigate again to: http://goo.gl/4IWgL (or use the barcode below)
6. Your phone will ask you how to complete the action. Choose USSDFix and mark it as default for this action.
7. You will see a notification that your phone tries to open a page that contains a USSD call and will block it.
8. Your phone is safe now !

How do you check if number is USSD ?

First it handles calls from browser like "tel:", then it checks for * and %23 (#) in the dialed string.

Are the HTC's vulnerable too? and the Sense 4?

Unfortunately some HTC's are. You can test yours using the URL provided in the thread (or using the barcode scanner).

Tested the vulnerability with stock browser and dolphin on sense 4.1. Both times I got to see my IMEI.
Installed patch app, and now it works. Very clever how you did this. Thanks !!
Is anyone brave enough to test this on a real-wiping-all-the-data link?

thanks a lot I have a zte gingerbread and I cannot update to jellybean so my phone is vulnerable...I've found a similar app on market but it's incompatible, yours is totally good for my phone!!!thank you!
as soon as you publish on play store I'l give you 5 stars obviously!!!

The problem is that if you open a malicious URL in your browser, the browser can send a USSD command tothe dialer to factory reset your phone.
I hope that they will fix this soon, but if you are vulnerable and cannot update your phone you are at risk.

well my sensation is a culprit of it too ..unfortunately
i tested the app and its working perfectly well ...so SENSATION USERS GO AHEAD AND USE THIS APP
BTW voted for PORTAL .... lot of people should know this vulnerability and the fix for it
and i request other users of this app to vote for portal (click the "Newsworthy Thread" present at top right corner of the thread title )
Edit: Btw I used the vulnerability of the xda app to thank you.. As I'm out of thanks for today lol

Hehe, yes, it's normal - see installation instructions - you should choose the USSDfix as default for this activity (since there's no official patch of the dialer).

see at the end you should kinda prevent browser to give control of using phone ...thats what this app does ..its like a firewall ..which checks the code before giving the command to the phone ..if you bypass the firewall itself ..how can you expect it to prevent using phone
its like you bought an anti-virus for your PC ...installed it ..but then DISABLED it ..and claiming it not working
get the point now ?

I was told samsung fixed this in jelly bean. Are we suppose to see a 10 digit combination code or the phone app with *6%+ to be vulnerable?

I get the same on mine. SE Xperia X10 on Gingerbread.
I think it's better to remove the SMS/call functionality from your application, because there are a lot of people(including me) not installing the application because of those permissions.
If you use this:
Code:
startActivity(new Intent(ACTION_DIAL, Uri.parse("tel:6365551212")));
With this you don't need the permission to make calls, and the dialer will be started with the phone number pre-loaded, so the user only needs to press the Call button.
And for sending SMS messages you can use this guide, which also uses intents.
Then you don't need SMS/call permissions, but the user can still call/text when he needs in your application.
This is simply astonishing. Great work. Although I have an Evo 3D and won't be moving from it at any time soon, I know a few Hero owners who could do with this App to see what they should upgrade to.

your device is supported (HTC G2 Vision) but may be your network operator doesn't allow the application's that send SMS/Calls
so you may try other SIM to install and i will upload the apk file very soon

Yes, the user will be able to see the advertisers number. But I think your sent SMS is in the SMS-app of the user, so he always will be able to see the advertisers number, although I'm not sure.
Can you post the apk?
It doesn't show up in the Market on my phone. I can click a link that will open it in the Market but it doesn't give me the option to download it. And when I try installing through the Market on a pc it says it's not compatible with my device.

TextHer - P2P serverless messaging app for Android

Today I am launching TextHer app which enables users of android phone to communicate privately and securely between them.
TextHer
It is a peer to peer (serverless) messaging app where the messages are directly sent from one phone to another without being routed through or stored on any servers.Messages will be not be routed through carrier's server instead it will be directly sent from one phone to another using data connection.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacenext.texther
Sending a message:
To send a message to another phone just type the primary gmail address of the phone,type your message and send it.
For example my phone's primary account is [email protected],Just type the mail address or just the account name(ramanean) and send a message
Features
1.No Registration is required and Free unlimited messages.
2.Secure/Instant communication between any two individuals
3.Instant Delivery of messages (unless the other phone doesn't have a working data connection)
4.Messages are not stored on any servers.they are stored only on your phones.
5."Background Send" option which allows a delivery of messages incase of a failure.
6.Messages are encrypted by AES standards
This app would make it difficult for law enforcement and spy agencies to track what is being communicated between two phones as the messages sent are encrypted by a standard AES algorithm and the messages are not stored on any server.It allows secure communication between two phones without the fear of being tracked for their messages.
Serverless:
It's not entirely serverless as we store the ips on our server and give it to the clients which enables phones to connect with each other. And I have plans to come out with another version which would never involve a server.
I hope I would get a constructive review on your site.Please let me know whether you need any extra information

a) This app won't be available in certain countries in the Middle East and south East Asia!
b) There is too much of snooping around and that's why I have come out with this app
c) On other hand it would help organizations like Occupy Wall Street and people in their protests.It would great help in free speech
MY answer to others who question my app!
Why do you need a intermediate person to message/communicate your loved one? Whether we use a third person to communicate with our loved ones inside our house? The answer is No.. and that is the reason I have come out with this app.
Okay here's what I discovered after a bit of goofing around:
1) You use app for a few minutes and it is impossible to get out. Pressing back keeps bringing you back to previous screen. In a loop.
2) I tried messaging myself. Didn't work.
3) I tried messaging on ramaean. App not installed
4) When I tried messaging to shangce, it force-closed on me.
5) You need to have a more consistent UI. You have used all the colors in rainbow
I don't want to come off as a ****, but if someone wanted to use an app for truly private communication I think they should be asking the following questions:
Could you describe in detail what happens to the text from the time you press Send to when the recipient's phone beeps?
How do we know your servers aren't logging our messages?
Why should we use your app instead of an encryption app?
Please don't take this as an insult to your app or hard work, but they are legitimate concerns for any security related app. I would be much more comfortable if there was an encryption feature.
You got some of the points wrong
a)My mail ID is [email protected] and not "ramnean" (use ramanean)
b)You can click on the home button in the bottom help menu to come out
c)I won't reveal from my that mail address "shangce"
d)I don't know which provider you are using.l
This app will not work if the phone has internal IP's!!
UI :
I need to work a big on UI As I always choose colors wrong

a) I used the correct id. there was a typo in above message. Anyway, this isn't a deal-breaker.
b) I should still be able to come out of an app by pressing back button. Don't you think?
c) Didn't get you.
d) It works after disabling WiFi. My bad.
e) You can try a two-colour theme.

What's the version of Android you are using?
Ok, so is this still a "NO" for us in the Middle East? Will you post the apk file here or will I have to wait till I get back to India later this month to download it?
Is there some reasoning for barring people based on location? Am pretty sure that:
a) A terrorist is neither in our midst nor that one would be wandering around in the xda forums looking for something they could use.
b) If they are aware of a software such as this they could always get one of their partners in crime to download it from an off site location and mail it to them.
Hope that you will post it here.

Remember that the app works only for external ip's it doesn't work for natted ip's (I am trying to fix it)
Send a message to yourself to see that whether it works for you! If you didn't get your own message then it won't work for you as you may on a natted/internal IP
Nice idea, flawed execution. No functionality in any of my tests. Currently attempt to use Redact instead.

I can say the app looks very neat and clear, the information about battery is dam good..
Very good creation, keep moving forward guys..
XDA members will support you always..
One advise.
Please try to create more clear UI...
Well the idea of a such a guide is not bad, but the implementation is pretty bad .
Some feedback:
- The decline button on your license agreement does not work.
- Neither does the back button, so if you don't want to accept the license, you will have to kill the app.
- Then big listview does not show where you clicked. You just click somewhere and hope the right entry opens.
- The search field ontop of each entry does not work.
While i am no fan of advertisements, i understand that they are a necessary evil to finance some things.
So a small advertisement banner is okay.
But your app goes rampge on this.
It wants to adds itself to the bookmarks, set itself as browser homepage and add a browser search icon the the home screen.
The bookmark adding and changing of the browser homepage didn't even work on my test device, but your descriptions clearly state that it wants to do that. These actions remind myself of self installing browser toolbars on internet explorer.
These changes are not undone by uninstalling the app and have to be changed manually.
This does not make your app look very trust worthy
Installed this app to quickly it's just for spam, don't use it !
They are removing ads

[APP][Android 2.3+] [Root] WhatsMore - Allow 2 phone numbers to be linked to WhatsApp

Hi everyone,
I make this app for my own daily use originally. However, I found that many people are asking for similar features on WhatsApp. So, I make it available on Google Play Store. You need a rooted device to run this app.
WhatsMore is an add-on account management to make WhatsApp holding more than 1 phone number even on a single-SIM mobile phone. Now, we can give different phone numbers to the family, co-workers, customers, net-friends, and etc…
Features:
- Allow Up to 2 phone numbers to be used with WhatsApp on the same device.
- Auto swapping WhatsApp accounts in a user preset interval.
- Show notifications when swapping WhatsApp accounts.
- Show notifications if there are unread messages of swapped out WhatsApp accounts.
- Launch any inactive WhatsApp account from within WhatsMore.
- Perform auto recovery upon the App starts (or the phone starts up) if the previous swapping process is interrupted. (ie. Power off, reboot of the mobile phone, upgrade from the play store)
** The following statement is copied from the official WhatsApp FAQ **
If you attempt to frequently switch your WhatsApp account between different devices, at a certain point, you may be blocked from re-verifying your account. So please do not repeatedly switch between different devices.
Using this app is a different story. You only register the each linked phone number once. And, you are always working on 1 device only.
Set up procedures:
Assume you have phone number 1 and phone number 2. Follow the following steps to do the configuration:
1. Make sure the WhatsApp is properly registered with phone number 1.
2. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
3. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
4. Input a profile name when prompted for.
5. After import success, you can see the button on the bottom of the screen has the label changed. It should read ‘Prepare WhatsApp for a new registraion’.
6. Click the [prepare] button and you will get a warning dialog.
7. Click [Continue] and wait for the process to be finished.
8. Turn off the phone and swap the SIM cards of phone number 1 and 2.
9. Start WhatsApp
10. Go thru the WhatsApp registration procedure using the phone number 2.
11. Make sure the new phone number 2 is working on the WhatsApp.
12. Start WhatsMore and swipe to the tab - Manage Profiles.
13. Click the [import] button on the bottom of the screen.
14. Input a profile name when prompted for.
15. Swipe to the tab - Status.
After doing the above steps, you should see 2 phone icons on the status tab.
Note:
Make sure you have the latest Busybox installed. Otherwise, this app won't work!
HAPPY CHATTING!

Interesting, will have a look. Thanks!
I have followed every step you said, but cannot import the whatsapp account. Dun know why??
I have uninstalled and re-installed the whatsapp.
Can you let me know why??
Many thx by the way
I don't really unterstand that, 2 numbers on a Single sim card? Can anybody explain it to me?
Please make it compatible with Android 2.3 as well as many of us have dual sim phone which are still having 2.3 so please try to get it in the compatible list.
I would like to know if the message database of two accounts will be merged into one or two separate databases will be kept?

Separated internal memory storage for each WhatsApp number.
A new version of WhatsMore has been published to the play store. It uses a less complicated root command syntax and perhaps more devices are supported. Also, please make sure you have the latest Busybox installed.

Some carriers certainly provides 2 numbers on 1 sim-card. However, you don't need this special sim-card to use WhatsMore. Once you are done with the WhatsApp registration, you can pull out that sim-card out of your phone. It is not needed anymore when you are chatting WhatApp.
I do not receive any confirmation number as I do not see any banners at all..what can I do?

Okay got it but what about the backup data if i just wanna use 1 sim can it be the same or it will be messed up.

Better use T.backup instead of the WhatsApp built-in backup. The are guidelines in the FAQ of WhatsMore.

The release version has a fix. In the beta version, the number picker did not refresh the phone wake up duration when the auto rotation had already been turned on. Thanks.
I'm using the donate version on an HTC One S running CM 10.0. The app keeps asking to grant Superuser twice upon every startup, despite having told my superuser-app to automatically grant permission upon the first run. After having used Whatsnow, other apps requiring root keep telling me they couldn't find the SU-binary and won't work anymore till restart.
Anyone have this problem? Once i've installed, connect to the wireless access point, unable to get the IP address, and at the end wireless will disconnect automatically.
Please advise.
Btw, I'm using Samsung Note 2 N7105.
Thanks.
awesome, thanks !

[ROOT] Enable ALL Lock Screen Lock Options

I have been trying to find a way to reactivate the full options for the lock screen. There is a way to do it with root access, by editing the settings menu...I just haven't found a way to do it yet. With that said, I have found an Activity Launcher that runs with ROOT access and have also installed it into /system/priv-app. In doing so I have been able to find the settings to enable ALL the lock screen lock options. In addition to the PIN number and SLIDE to lock methods, you also get to:
- Enable lock pattern
- Enable lock password
- Disable lock screen
In order to activate these options, you have to be rooted. However, these are items I believe reside somewhere on the Secure Settings level (system, secure or global). Amazon just does a good job of hiding these settings and the launcher application is the only one I have found that is able to access these options. If you don't have root access, you can still visually see the settings fragment. I do believe this feature can be enabled without having a rooted tablet. If the right fragments can be found, the activity could possibly be launched via ADB or ADB shell. It's also possible another activity and intent type launcher can perform these actions.
1. Download, install and open 'Activity Runner' from the play store.
2. Scroll the list until you see 'Settings' and tap on it. Scroll down the list further, until you see the SECOND 'Unlock Selection' item. It will be in listed as red and the fragment/activity/intent below it will say '.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'. Tap it.
3. Profit!! :highfive::good::victory: These tablets are so much fun to 'hack.' Thanks again for following everyone! :highfive:

This activity launcher won't display the fragment paths that are in red. Did you happen to find it? I found the Java source for the fragment. I just have no clue how to 1) edit actual .Java files 2) compile or 3) create an app from Java. Of all I can currently do, I have much trouble with Android studio. I just don't understand how to use most of the actual program. Still learning that part.

I don't think that the fragments need to be declared in AndroidManifest.xml. I just have some old skills to get an app up and running from Android Studio. Anyway, it's possible to look into the .java file of the Activity to cherry pick the fragments.
And, about the top secret activity I mentioned about, to start that from UID=system you need the permission DISPLAY_DEBUG_UI. Maybe you can start that from UID=0(root).

Can't get an activity launcher app to run with those permissions. However if you hAve a rooted device, Activity Runner in the OP will launch almost every activity. I have looked over several of the activities in that app. Took me a few hours to read just about all I'm able to launch. I was able to launch the dev/prod mode in Amazon Device Settings. Though I'm not sure what it does and was too scared to try lol

Can't find unlock, maybe I uninstalled a system app early. Do you know which one it could be?
Settings, Home, is good though, to set the launcher to something else. I'm hoping this will fix my launcher problem

Hi, Are you using Activity Runner? The activity mentioned doesn't show up in Activity Launcher. And, the activity mentioned is a part of Settings app, you couldn't have uninstalled it?. And, Good Luck!

I know and totally forgot about having paid for it. I found Activity Launcher that has been modified to run with root, but it still doesn't see all the activities.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using XDA Labs
Applications Info (com.majeur.applicationsinfo) can list all activity.
But can't launch as root permission.
So you can using Terminal Emulator:
$ su
# am start -n 'com.android.settings/.ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity'
'Activity Runner' became `Activity Manager` and new link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.activitymanager
Not working after paying, great. Ganz choose None or Slide...

Just did this and it was the final piece in setting up my HD10 for home automation duties. Thanks for posting this.
Not sure why but when I load up Activity Manager and click on settings / .ChooseLockGeneric$InternalActivity I do not get that option to
use Lock Type: None ... I only get the basic 4 options ( swipe, pattern, pin, password )
I am using Activity Manager PRO v2.4.1 (2049) on a ROOTED 10"
Any thoughts ? What version of Activity Launcher is confirmed working for this trick ?
Thank you

It has to do with your personal settings. I'm not sure which ones though. It happens to me sometimes and I haven't been able to determine what causes it. You might be better off installing my settings apk. If you do it's recommended to install the framework too.
