Just left a restaurant and looked at my phone. There was a strange message that said touch to pair with hacking device.
Does anyone know what that could be. There was also a # that was shown.
I am on Android Samsung galaxy Nexus. Rooted and using MIUI OS.

You have likely heard the saying "From good intentions hell is full." So today was a shame to me.
A friend of my wife's father wanted her to upgrade android 2.3.4 for a custom, to take Tim's Android, etc.. then she called me to do this.
So I did not pay much attention, and installed a ROM S5830i instead of an S5830B.
Result: no boot screen it appears.
I've tried everything. Start recovery mode, download, push all the buttons, but it does not even appear on the backlight.
Heard of a device, the USB JIG. He sort of "force" to open the galaxy in download mode, but I did not want to spend money.
Anyone know what I do?
PS: My phone is with her, that is. I'm no cell phone.
Thanks in advance.
If I have the same problem with galaxy pocket can any body help pls?
Details:
Note 2, Rooted, paranoid android 3.9 jellybean 4.3 ROM, changed build.prop to SM-N9005 (Note3 for model).
Found a gear manager apk. Installed, however it doesn't further install when it says "install 0/18". The phone and watch do pair on Bluetooth but a message on phone states, "unsupported device". Then the devices disconnect.
It feels like I am very close, and I'm somewhat of a noob, so looking for more experienced advice.
Also, being a noob apologize if I have any terminology incorrect.
I'm also not sure if I am in the right forum, if not I apologize and we can move it.
Thanks!

I have an Octa core note edge SM-N915S from Korea and i am using it in The Netherlands and have the following problems.
The network keeps dropping out and i have to go into the manual settings and turning it on again.. Is this common?
I can not get it to register when connected via USB to my windows 8.1 OS.
I went to Root (which i have never done before) the device today so i download and read the tutorials bla bla bla and well when i went to plug it into to my pc via USB to commence the root i got no further as i have spent a whole day trying to work out how i can access the MTP box which does pop up on my note 3 when connects to the PC.
I was in the settings part and at the top right corner there is the 3 dots which i held my finger on and then it says
"More options" to which when presses it disappears and does not seem to work. ( I am also not sure if it is a driver problem with Samsung Kies 3 which i have downloaded and replaced various times or it is in fact the phone which is at fault/or both a combination?
I have also read today that apparently this happened on other devices with the Android 4.4.4 update so i am not sure whether this is the cause?
Could these problems be because it is a Korean phone?
Will Rooting the phone rid the thing of Korean-ness, and is it possible to turn this Korean phone into the same model that T Mobile are selling in the UK/EU. I am not a developer etc and just want this phone which i purchased to run on T mobile like other owners of EU phones.
Should it matter being an Octacore phone?
The only thing i can think of is the fact the phone is set to run on the Korean market platform that it is in no way compatible with European platforms?
Is anyone else in the same boat as me?
All help appreciated and i gift you all with praise..
So I JUST received a refurbished Samsung S2 Gear from amazon and went to work trying to learn all how to use it.
well i downloaded all the apps and things necessary, but now im stuck because m the samsung gear app tells me that the phone needs a software update. It downloads fine on my phone, and then gets stuck at 0% on the copying stage. I have both the phone and watch charging, and i havent put anything new on the phone. pretty much out of the box. After it tries for a bit, a popup says that its" failed to copy the software update to the gear. Try Later"
Ive restarted the watch.. unfortunately i can not restart my phone due to the outside buttons no longer working. But still seems unnecessary.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do at this point?
I just bought one, too. I also have the same phone. Update worked fine for me...
I have been using galaxy devices after my iPhone got hacked and it was a relief since then but till now only. The threat i am going to put forth is very complicated yet true and it exists in both of my galaxy devices i.e Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Snapdragon) as well as Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Snapdragon).
THE PROBLEM:
My both Samsung phones are remotely accessed by someone. Everything i do on screen is being monitored by someone as well as the camera and microphone are being controlled. I know this because my earlier phones(Apple iPhone 6 and VivoY91c) used to be hacked and the hacker would tell me everything i do on screen, every person i chat with, every site i visit, everything that i do on my phone was being monitored. And now same is the case with Samsung. Nothing is private. I even tried to install an app called "screensings" but it was also bypassed very soon.
THE SYMPTOMS:
Strangely, I do not have any symptoms like battery drain, ads, unknown apps or anything of that nature. My phone location changes to "Redkino, Russia" it seems to me by all aspects that I am in Russia. my weather, the ads on Youtube, the people nearby me in apps, friend suggestions on facebook and snapchat. It feels like this phone is physically in Russia. From weather to apps to everything. Even if i see things for sale of OLX it shows Russian items.
THE PROCESS:
As far as I noticed this happens through any app that runs on one device at a time i.e KIK , What's app, Snapchat, Say HI, etc NOT through apps like facebook or twitter or instagram that can run at more than a device at a time. The experts can relate later what it means may be at the end of reading this narrative. Every phone i change , my whats app number remains the same and as soon as i install whats app in new phone or SayHi or Snapchat ID. As soon as i activate my account within an hour or two my phone gets to Russia. As i searched the hacker attaches some trojan through these apps that can be used in device at a time and that trojan drops payloads. The payload gets root access and after that my phone is being monitored and controlled.
MY EFFORTS:
I started with a normal restart. Did not work. I factory reset my phone. It did not work. I flashed the firmware with new custom rom. Didn't work for me. I finally managed to extract the PIT file of my stock firmware and RE-PARTIONED and NAND ERASED my phone and then installed new firmware. IT WORKED. Which indicated that the malware had reached to system partition. (WHCIH IS WHY I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT) my phone was back to normal i used it for long like months and then one day again i had the same issue. So i did the same i re-partioned and NAND earsed my phone. But now it will NOT work any longer. I do not know where is the malware hiding itself now. ? Do i have to change the board of my phone to get rid of it or do i have to change my device? i even flashed verizon firmware on my sprint phone so that may be it will kill the malware but it also did not work. Soon after new firmware my phone is ok as long as it is not connceted to internet / WIFI as soon as its connected it gets to Russian like within 5-8 hrs (after firmware flashing). 5-10 mins after(After factory reset) . I have to change both of my devices for now. But i Hope and pray that Samsung fixes it soon. Something is getting into the read only system and then after its gotten there Samsung's owns security system is protecting it from deletion.
ATTACHMENTS:
My attachments show clearly that i am at KDA KOHAT PK and REDKINO RUSSIA at the same time which is not possible. I even get the location of Russia house where my samsung devices are being monitored or cloned. This is the only sign or symptom but the problem is there for sure as i the whoever the hacker is selling my info is after me and everything i do on my phone is reaching him as it is as if she is watching me right from behind my shoulder. Please look into the matter and find out where lies the vulnerability from where a malware can access phone through an app over wifi and hides in system partition that is immue to factroy reset and afterwards some place where its immue to even flasing firmware NAND erase and re-parition.
I think it would have occurred to you after having both an Apple and an Android hacked that the problem is most likely you.
Or perhaps you have Dr No's grandson for a mortal enemy.
A social butterfly with all kinds of messaging apps running (none that I leave run on my phone), what could go wrong?
More than likely it's something you downloaded or loaded...
If the OS you flashed is earlier then Pie it's vulnerable to that type of attack.
A custom rom... built by who?
Here's the kicker; did the malware(s) slip by you onto all your data backups?

Ditch the social apps... for starters.
People use to meet in the streets; the streets are fields that never die.
