Hi all, as you all know, I host the guide to flash Tornado to WM6 in my free hosting website. Since day 1, the amount of traffic to the website is getting more and more.
Months ago, I would only reach around 40% of the 6gb free bandwidth allocated but recently, it has increased and this month, I have used up all the bandwidth allocated and as the result, my website is temporarily banned for this month. While its alright for this month as the website will be restored in a couple of day when next month begin.
However, soon, the 6gb of bandwidth would not be able to sustain for half a month based on the traffic pattern.
Hence, I am appealing to anyone who can afford to donate to help me pay for the paid hosting. I am only a student and do not have any credit card.
Note that the money would only be used to pay for paid hosting and not for any personal usage. If I am able to get a paid hosting, I would also host the latest ROMS so that it can be downloaded directly using HTTP and not via rapidshare, etc.
I hope that by keeping the guide online, many people can continue to receive the latest update on the ROM developed at xda-developers and many more can flash their phone without bricking their devices.
Payment can be done via paypal to karhoe at msn dot com
Thanks in advance.
Now let me just say right here and now that I'm not a coder so hang with me. It seems to me that google has an issue with pirates (due to the blocking of paid apps for dev phones) until they create a better solution I was hoping somebody might create some kind of module that any dev could use to prevent and curb piracy. I know it's not a huge deal as there's really not that much out there for downloading paid .apk but there are some.
What I would do breaks down into two parts, preventing redistribution of the .apk and then nagging users who have an outdated version (as with download-copy-refund-reinstall). If you made the program run at the moment it was installed and pull and then archive a piece of unique info such as the phone number and then force the whole app to double check the internal archive to the actual phone number it would not only prevent the giving away of apps but archiving the initial release person's info to the dev.
Step two is to force a version check from the app to a sever that has the current version. If you made some kind of update (even if very so minor about once a month) and gave let's say a month so that you're not forcing folks to update that day you could then make the program "nag" a user into updating (that you cannot do if you didn't pay for it) and after some length of time have the program stop working at all.
Now yes it is work for something that may only cost .99 but if the anti-piracy measures were open source then you could not only retrofit an existing program but build new pirate proof apps.
Thoughts?
Both methods are still fairly easily crackable. Just like it's impossible to "DRM" game cd's, music, and video - preventing piracy of software is a very difficult and always flawed things.
You can make copy protection pretty decent but eventually it's all still very crackable. There is no 'good' copy protection. If Google is waiting until they do have a 'good' system for it - it will never happen.
And yes, I actually am a coder with commercial interests that are copy "protected". In the end the question is always if people find it valuable enough to purchase or their time invaluable enough to spend it on cracking these things.
How about release all your code under an open source license and get paid through donations?
I LOL'd! Seriously, if you ever went that route you'd know usually people hardly ever donate, at all. You'll be working for $0.01 an hour. That's ok if it's a hobby project, but bigger projects are just not feasable that way.
It also depends a lot on the community though. For example, I've made freeware tools for gameserver admins and got a lot of donations. I've made mods for games that practically every player used - and these were RCE games, so they cost $$$ - and the total of donations was less than $100 for 100's of hours of work. It depends on the situation, the crowd, how useful the software is, etc, but in the end it comes down to people being cheapskates, but in a weird way.
By 'in a weird way' I mean that it is rather strange that if you ask for donations, hardly anybody will donate $5, but if you were to charge $5, lots of people would purchase and not care about the $5.
Of course this is not true for everybody. Personally I try to donate to free projects that I use - and I know there are several people who also do this. But it's not the 'general public'.
this isnt an issue about open source vs charging for a product. Nobody is doing anything about piracy for this particular handset. it so easy to steal these apps, and if nothing is done to stay ahead of the curve then everyone suffers. do we have to wait till the average user figures it out, or till somebody makes a blog and/or a youtube post on how to release paid apps and that even non root users can pirate these in seconds?
one of two people need to step up, either the devs and try and be a step ahead of the crackers or what i imagine as widespread piracy and the degrading of all app quality.
some have said that people wont bother stealing a .99 app, but i disagree.

Well i believe chainfire answered the question already, there is nothing they can do. Are you a dev? The only ones suffering are the developers. Piracy is here and no one can really do anything about it. There are more important issues to deal with in the world then piracy. Look at smartphone files - cabs - wm, you dont have to pay for one of those anymore they are out there for the taking. How long have they been around? One look at their situation and its pretty clear nothing can be done.
ummm
piracy is nothing new.... piracy has been around since back on the commodore 64, i cant even explain how many shoebox's of 5 1/4" floppys of games. Pirating windows..... the first version ever. Theres no way to stop it, what is made can always be undone. The use of online connectivity is the only way to stop people from pirating software. Those "servers" are at the expense of the company that released the software. All installs have to have a "phone-home". Why do you think WifiRouter for WM (i think thats what its called) can never be cracked for more than a week. Because the serial numbers are registered in a database, and hardware id's and whatnots are sent regarding that individual phone. If more than a few of set "phones" with the serial number given is used. That serial is blacklisted and deactivated. The software checks for serial status everytime it loads. Very good way of using such software. But others are a little different, like programs that can be cracked using a serial number, but the program is in a site that normally wouldnt ever have acccess to internet (construction sites, etc.) Its just something that cant be stopped.....
p.s. http://tinyurl.com/dczb66 and you will realize what chainfire meant by ruin and destroying software due to copy protection
piracy done right
they need to stop trying to figure out how to solve the problem and just say there is no problem. there is no single "market" for software for my pc.... there will never be one for android. developers will never be comfortable trusting security they have no say so in. apps will come from all edges of the cloud and google is sadly mistaken if they think they can control it.
here is what they should do.. Nothing
Let the developers on their own find ways to secure their apps. wether it be a simple pin number or a log in. as developers make security hackers will break it, then the devs make more, its that cycle that made Linux work in the first place.
regardless of what google does people will start protecting their apk's
If you want to sell programs, do the following and you won't have a problem.
Don't worry about piracy (DRM, Copy Protection, etc)
Make a good product
Don't over-charge for the product
Be upfront with the support offerings
Offer a reasonable satisfaction guarantee if demo is not available
Trying to limit and stop piracy is a failing battle and will ultimately end up costing the developer in the long run.
I come from both sides of the track, i'm a pirate (aka lacking moral compass) and developer. When I come across good software at a reasonable price, I don't think twice about purchasing it.
You could do likesome programmers who sell their product online and on the market at the same time.

The Windows Mobile version of Klaxon has had around 200,000 downloads, and I have received less than $200 in donations. I spent several months on that project. Donationware/open source is does not work.

I'd rather my number not be freely given out.
This would also be a problem if my number changed, but I don't buy apps that force version checks / expire / phone home. If it's good enough I look for a copy cleansed of such behavior, while i'd buy a good app without that behavior and if its not locked to hardware/providers. Copy protection can backfire and drive off customers.

Although I have some open source projects this will never work... A lot of people just like to get everything for free and are actually upset when needed to pay 1€ for an application.
I have people send me like 20€ but this is a very rare case! I would be lucky to have at most one costless weekend of drinking in a month, but no way to actually make a living that way.
And if you look into the work put in to most open-source projects ( in terms of hours ) its better to just do 1% of that work for a boss and get payed a lot more. Ofcourse I love doing this and thats mainly the reason why I join open-source projects... Making some money is a nice aspect which "could" happen.
As for copy protection... Like cf stated... There isnt an uncrackable copy protection and if creating one takes up half of the time of your projects development how much good would it be in terms of earning money. Its not a copy-protection problem but its a mind-set problem... People just dont like paying for things they use everyday...

Bull****. WifiRouter or whatever it is could easily be cracked by using fake DNS servers, manually editing the servers to a custom, or bypassing the online checks completely.
Their system is crap, and any skilled cracker could defeat online checks in just a bit of work.
The only truly invincible copy protection I've seen are either hardware, or extremely internet based (something that relies on external servers so much that it's useless without them, such as MMOs). Hardware can be modded, and you can recreate the servers for internet based.

Or you could just remove the TPM (or Variant) requirements from the software like the Hackintosh version of OSX.
piracy won't ever be stoped.. might take a vbbit longer for some one to bypass it's protecting but it will always be cracked sooner or later
best thing u can do is.. as said before just make a good product be craeative, dont over-charge, people will buy it support you..
heck better is better to make 20 bucks thank nothing at all
I thought I was ready for a tablet....... I'm still working on getting anti-virus loaded. CA has sold 2 two versions of their anti-virus and I still haven't gotten one to work. Does anyone out there have an anti-virus that will load without me talking for an hour to someone overseas???
Why would you need Anti-Virus on this thing? If you use everything as a regular user you shouldn't get infections. This isn't Windows
checkout Andtoid Antivirus probably all you need
check for dr web, but I agree not sure why you need an anti virus on android yet...
I needed one, got a virus downloading a game from a website. Corrupted most of my installed programs. I use Lookout now and only go to market related sites.

You probably should only D/L from the market! There is a lot of malicious code out there people created to deter people from downloading an app illegally to save a couple of dollars and lose all your data... just sayin
Did your tablet pop up with Charlie Sheen saying "Duh! WINNING!" lol
I thought all devices going onto the web needed it. I have a ton of stuff to learn. Thanks to all who offered assistance. I think I will look into what was offered. I have a teenager using a twin to mine. She's going off to college in the fall.
I too have resisted putting A/V on my tab & phone. Just more "bloat". As stated, stick to pretty safe places (Market) and you should be Ok, Right?
Well, just look at the most recent issue where malicious code made its way onto the market. Don't think that code in particular did any horrible things, but it just goes to show that the Market is not fully policed (I think that's a good thing, actually ... if I wanted the reverse, I'd have an iPad)....
I recently started using this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/protect-your-android-with-lookout-mobile-security/
Since its an XDA member, I feel a little bit better about it.
Before anyone chews me out for thinking I haven't researched this here, believe me I've already spent hours over the last couple days researching XDA and tried all kinds of things and I'm just at a loss for knowing what else I can do from what's available (some download links don't work etc.), and from what I remember from way back when I first rooted the phone. I take care of my developmentally disabled sister and don't have a lot of spare time to devote to researching this. No time and always stressed from my caregiver responsibilities. Not asking for sympathy, just understanding that I can't devote a lot of research time for this. I learned how to root the phone from XDA without bothering anyone, but this just has me stumped. Tried NVflash (this will flash the images to the phone, but still can't get past LG logo), LG updater / alternate updater tool (neither will see the phone),
I'm willing to pay for either an absolute certain fix with clear instructions and download links for any software needed that work, or possibly sending the phone to someone that can get the thing working again for a reasonable price. Keep in mind I can wait for a cheap broken phone on Ebay to replace the motherboard. I also luckily had another G2x that had Froyo and not rooted, but I decided to update it to GB even though the camera sucks. I uploaded two Youtube vids to show what's happening with it. I can't post links yet, but this is the extension for part 1 at Youtube: /watch?v=ulZzWFgNosY and part 2 :/watch?v=YVV9Vzbz0dg. Just ad these to the youttube url after the .com

After going to the store to get soup and remedies for my sister (just came down with a cold... sigh), I sat down at my computer and was disappointed that I didn't even get a response let alone an offer to help -NOT EVEN FOR PAY! So I went over what I'd done the last two days and figured it out. Phone works now, but the problem was the person's instructions were terrible. So no credit and no money. Sorry, I had to work too hard to work out what was not clearly instructed. There's a lot of that here I find. The person knows what they're talking about in their mind, but they sometimes fail to convey it clearly in written form and give instructions that are not easy to follow. Anyway, a general thanks is in order for XDA. :good:

Hi;
Read your post; and am in the same situation. Could you PLEASE tell the rest of us "G2Xers" HOW you managed to get out of that Boot-Loop????? Quite sure your solution would be most appreciated by the rest of us!!!!!! Leave me an answer also, and thanks loads!!!
From Arter himself:
I already see couple of people reporting that they bricked their device from the "leak" Telegram group.
I assume many more accounting that some won't have a secondary device to use Telegram.
I don't know what to say to those using the leaked kernel other than that you played yourself.
While I never anticipated that this would actually happen, I did post a warning.
This "leaker" deliberately modified my kernel to brick the device.
With the attached screenshots, right one is the leaked kernel and the left is the one I released to my private Telegram group.
First screenshot:
The versioning string is different. My release tells you which exact Git HEAD commit was at the time of building. The "r20b6+" means that it's been built without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO set.
Also, my build server's host name is "arter97-dgist". The leaked one is "arter97_dgist".
Second screenshot:
The highlighted part is the address of where execprog's data is located. It's different, which means that it's likely that the leaked one is built from source and not a binary modification.
The r20b6 includes some touch panel optimizations and removes the "[FTS][Error][IIC]: i2c_transfer" string in one of its commits. The leaked one still has that, which means it's not even r20b6.
Third screenshot:
The "leaker" actually wanted to brick devices. They injected a piece of code to execprog to wipe all internal UFS storage(including the bootloader) on January 29th 00:00 UTC time.
Forth/fifth screenshot:
Meanwhile, the admin there seems to be fine with it and says it's from a "trusted source" and keeps on posting Wolf of Wall Street memes with no context.
I hope this can be a wake up call to everyone: Always download stuffs from trusted and reliable sources.
Poco telegram channel statement:
On behalf of poco updates channel, this is a caution I make.
Since the past week or so, there have been people spamming a link to a channel with all the Arter97 leaks in the official group.
Though we do not support Arter97 making his kernel builds for poco in specific private, we do not endorse people leaking a developer's private work without permission in any means, it's not only unethical but very disrespectful.
It has come to notice today that the Arter97 kernel leaker has modified the build to clean UFS and bootloader partition, which basically bricks devices and makes them potentially permanently unusable. Many users have got their devices bricked already.
Always verify the source before flashing anything, stay safe.
TLDR; If you see any "Arter97 kernel leaked build", do not flash it.
@strongst sir please take care of this. Many users are repeatedly releasing the leaked kernel here specially @hbuilder
In general: do not flash anything from an untrusted source

Atleast 50 users have bricked their devices, maybe more. I hope this will set an example for others.
thank God for the stock kernel on miui without the need to dive into the world of leaked modified kernels or even paid kernels!!

lol nothin like it, I've been an android users for more than 10yrs and I've never stuck with stock kernel for long. It's always custom rom and custom kernel for me which was also free thanks to great [email protected]
This is special case where users did not respect the dev or his work. Going free or paid its devs choice and ppl should respect that. It's not like we have shortage of quality free stuff anyway.
I do not sympthasize with users who bricked their devices, in a way a nice lesson is taught to them to not steal others work.
#This is what it all was (Got this from the telegram channel which leaked builds)
Well, after the end of a storm comes another storm. A bit of a clearance before we go off.
It was fun leaking that kernel but what was funnier and more amusing was fooling the present admins of that group and getting myself and my Chinese friend the admin right. God of Hell trusted me so badly, he didn't even question the builds, he didn't even question when I asked him to let Bai be the admin and asked him to let Bai leak builds immediately. He had plans of boosting his group to 400 members first but we had enough. It was time to play the trick. Such a fool
Our work with beryllium is complete. We've successfully achieved what we had targeted. But we got another news for you. Aside from the wipe, we had injected another code to send all the saved bits of the ufs to our server (Don't believe us? Ask arter and he'll let you know). I guess you understand what we want now.
P.S: the upload process started from the very moment you had flashed the kernel and continued the moments you had been connected to the internet.
It'd be £10 for the complete deletion of every bits sent to our server from your phone. £20 for the deletion and letting you get back your data. Sure we don't have everything depending on your internet connection, but there's still significant amount of data. Don't believe us? Good job you're not a retard after all but we'll let you have the advantage.
We'll let you receive your data first, and you'll have to pay us afterwards within 30 minutes. Beware, you must flash a kernel we'll provide and if the payment fails, you'll have the same outcome as before. We'll let you have remote access to our servers and allow you to delete stuff yourselves. You can do a complete wipe and flash some thing else afterwards
What if we wipe it even after you complete payment ?
Your call, let us know of the other options you have. All payment must be done with cryptocurrencies
You get served what you deserve ?
Our work with beryllium is done, please don't tag us unnecessarily as we don't have any link to the device nor want to keep any. It was a fine bait. This channel and all accessible Adolf Hitler accounts would be down within 72 hours. Farewell, if you want to contact us @adolfhitler69720 is the account
In case someone is going to pay the "ransom". Don't bother.
Best case scenario : They are bluffing.
Worst case scenario : They are not bluffing. But are you going to trust people who bricked devices ? And they don't have backup of the data they allegedly snitched ?

That's new level of gullibility.
If they use any "tool" to allow "access to their servers" , it could be a trojan. Which might be ransomware and/or RAT.
If used on personal computer ,it will cause at most a HDD format.
However if someone uses it on some sort of office computer , they can infect entire networks.
So yeah ,there is lot at stake.
There is no data to be shown.
Just a fast one being pulled by bunch of crooks.

Unfortunately this has the potential to scare some people away from device development....... people will now think if I develope something would someone assshat pinch my work and change it in a way to annoy others........I know now I'm rethinking my ideas........
Arter confirmed that there was no such code to transfer data to their server
Here's what he said -
If there was, he would have shown you the part where it's injected like what I did.
There's not a single http/www additional string within that binary, and since they used execprog to brick devices, they would have done the same to upload private data.
No such code were in execprog.

Do you realise the reality here before coming to that conclusion? If you flash a random zip from a random telegram group, what else can you expect? No one can modify any devs work and post here at XDA. The mods are super fast in dealing with such issues.
I know someone who today paid 13k INR ( $180) for getting his phone repaired at service centre cause of that kernel but he didn't had money to spend $2 for kernel patron. People were leeching his private kernel.zip and now getting the karma back.
It's quite simple: you should never flash any such kernels from random groups. XDA is trusted and will always be that way.
