Wow that's frightening, and we can't even get Root on the ATT version yet

I feel like this is another version of Carrier IQ... :/

ya thats pretty bad

Now, maybe it's just me, but do those look more like "definitions" rather than what the application is actually doing?

See what you mean. I suppose those are possibilities of what the app could do based on it's permissions. Still, I would not be surprised at another Carrier IQ type of app. I dodged the bullet since my Captivate didn't have Carrier IQ as far as I know.

It looks like Ready2Go is for setting up your phone from the computer. Probably why it needs all those permissions.
I guess they don't want you to disable it in case someone accidentally does and is no longer able to customize their phone from their computer.
edit:
It's just an app that lets you set up your phone on your computer. Learn to Google.

I was wondering about whether those are definitions, or based on the (very poorly written- definitely translated) little blurb about security following each one, maybe this is some sort of security/verification app that checks the activity of processes on the phone.
Still it is pretty encroaching...
I've gotten responses before from their Google+ page (unlike Facebook and Twitter accounts), here's to hoping... Maybe we can spam their main page/posts as well until they at least address it...

Thanks!

what does power button do normally on stock?

does it give power options like when rooted? my power button was sticking like crazy and then when i tried to pop it up the whole thing flew out...
want to know what to say to VZW when i call for replacement...ie my power button was sticking and i couldnt do anything cuz power options kept coming up
would that be correct?
thanks

I think it shows hibernate and airplane mode and reboot. Its been so long since I've seen it I can barely remember. I've been rooted since the day I got this phone lol.

I would just tell them it isn't working anymore. I've actually had that happen on another phone and they replaced it. I wouldn't send it back rooted though.

And it's just a standard menu on stock when holding power, nothing like a rooted custom from menu.

Verizon can see if you are rooted and any custom rom or modified kernel you are using. They have full access to all the information in the "about phone" screen in settings. If they wanted to deny a warranty claim due to being rooted, all they would have to do is look on their systems and see what you were running.

bastards said they will charge me 300 something if i send back without the power button
if i jam it in am i screwed either way if i send it back since i already callled??
asurion only has tblolts id rather wait till they out of stock and get rezound

I agree. I have been over my about phone with Verizon several times and even returned rooted phones to them and they never said crap. I think they ask because they want to see if you're going to slip up and tell them some wrong information.

+1 lol Verizon has no way to tell your rooted unless they have your phone in front of them. If they knew, you would be warned as soon as you root your device. Where do these people get their info?? Lol

Yeah most of them don't really care anyway. I had a touch pro 2 from Sprint, first phone I ever rooted. I panicked because I had to send it back, didn't know how to re-lock! Finally after searching and reading and searching I figured it out! Lol

They can see your radio version every time you connect to their towers, They can see your software/kernel/baseband if they like through the information your phone sends to them as you use it. Also they still have stuff like Carrier IQ on phones that COULD even read you your text messages if they wanted. Dont think they cant see it because they can. They just dont let you know they can because it could be considered illegal.

This is BS because if that's the case they would have made me pay full price on two different occasions for phones that were rooted when I sent them back.

Seeing the radio version doesn't tell any carrier that someone is rooted. Being rooted is software related not radio related. Not unless custom radios are around, which is not available for the tbolt and im sure not for any other phone for that matter.
The only info phones send to the network is account information so the tower knows whether or not to provide service. That's it.
If they knew more details about a device then they would have no reason to ask us about our phone. They wouldn't waste their time as the info would pop up on their computer screens. If they saw anything other than the latest official OTA, then they would tell you that they can't do anything and that you voided your warranty so even switching back to stock won't make them change their mind.
The fact they would "waste" time to find out every detail from you pretty much sums up that this info is NOT available to them. CSRs like to help the customer as quickly as possible to get them off the line and help the next. And at this moment, asking customers about their phones is the quickest way.

So you think that those little forum signatures that can tell you what OS you are running, what browser and even your IP know more about your phone than your carrier?
Must be nice to be that gullible.
Think what you will, I know for a fact they can see the information. They literally don't care. The warranty is through another company and has nothing to do with Verizon. It is also perfectly legal to root your phone and do what you want with it as of July 26 2010 http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/26/rooting-android-phone-longer-crime/
The only thing it does is void any extended warranty you bought. So do restore to stock for returns to asurion and the likes.
They ask you because the lower tier CS people do not have access to your phone information, if you are escalated enough you will eventually find someone who can and will rattle off all your information to you.

If you can provide proof then I will take back what I said and apologize. I've played dumb before in the past just to see if it was possible for tier 2 and 3 (technical departments) to know this information. I simply stated that I didn't know how to access the about phone section. They tried to "help" me access this section and i pretended I was getting frustrated. I asked them to see if there was a way for them to see it on their systems and they told me no. They couldn't "help" me with my pretend issue unless I gave them this info. So all I was given was generic troubleshooting tips. They then stated to take it to the store for the CSR to look at my phone for the software version. I did this on a couple of occasions just to get a different Rep each time.
Yes, your mobile browser sends browser info to a website, and OS info. User agent strings are sent so that a website will know how to display the website on the browser. You can easily set the user agent to the stock HTC user agent. But this is irrelevant to Verizon as I can install different browsers on my phone which have unique user agents for each one. Just because my phone sends a dolphin user agent or maxathon user agent and not the stock HTC user agent, this does not imply I am rooted.
OS version is very easy to hack. You can edit this by going to the build.prop and change the OS version to the stock version and I'm sure there is a hack to fake the kernal (you might have to recompile the kernal to change the name)
All the IP address provides is the owner of the IP address (i.e. verizon) and in some cases, the general location of where the IP is being used. Verizon's LTE/EHRPD network use private IP addresses so it would be difficult to pin point a phone or information based on IP. This network uses Dynamic IPs so your IP will not be the same all the time. You have to pay extra to get a static address (business account). It is illegal to use an IP to gain access to any additional information unless a court order demands this.
The point of this is that you can pretty much make your rooted phone appear stock if it was really necessary to do so. Its a variant of Linux and Linux is very easy to work with if you know what you are doing.

Yup, does anyone just randomly do this though?
Sorry to cause the topic to get sidetracked like this, I was just trying to point out that Verizon don't care if we root or not.

If you can root your phone, then its a start. Your typical average user doesn't know what root means or even care what possibilities exist. I am pretty much the only person at my job who is rooted and I've had people ask me how I got my phone to look a certain way and they want their phone like this. When I explain the root process, they say screw that. Most people I know who are rooted know exactly what they can do with a rooted device. And new comers to rooting eventually pick up speed. Linux may be intimidating at first, but once you play around, you see how easy it is.

[Q] Rooting nexus 5 first thing after getting it

Hi I'm getting my nexus 5 soon this week so i wanted to know if it was a good idea to root it first thing after getting it. What is the probability that a receive a defective nexus and then i void my warranty for something that was already not working??

You can unroot it and the number of "defective" N5s is not as high as people here make it seem.

Give the phone a look-over when you get it. If anything is wrong, RMA it. If not, unlock the bootloader and root it immediately.
Super simple process. 10 minutes and it's done.

I made it about an hour before I rooted and unlocked. Just long enough to check everything out.
When you do decide to do it, use the instructions given by Chromium_. I tried the tools and had trouble. The fast boot method by chromium is just as easy and almost fool proof.

Thank you you 3, it seems like theres nothing wrong with rooting it first thing after getting it. I was just afraid of getting a nexus with such defect that i would not notice till after some days of usage,

today when I receveid the phone I just open the box, unpeeled from from protectors, checked a little and booted up in fastboot...
unlocked and rooted before the phone was able to reach Google server, maybe I was too hurry but nevermind is a Googlephone: must be rooted
and as Phazmos stated use Chromium_ guide, fast and reliable, toolkit can be used by experienced user cause if something goes wrong you have to know what are you doing and in toolkit usually you don't

From what I've read shouldn't you boot up and take the OTA first seeing as taking it after will cause you to lose root?

What are some good apps you all are using that need root? I wanted an AOSP browser but none seem to be working well at the moment. Other than that I installed greenify (but there's nothing to greenify yet haha), the sixaxis controller app, and titanium backup...
Do any of you use any adblocking services?

Sprint note 5 sm-n920p - remote sim unlock testers needed

Hey guys, I'm trying to test out some software a friend stumbled upon that can unlock the Sprint Note 5. I've already unlocked my Sprint Note 5, which I am using with T-Mobile. I'm trying to see if it can work the unlock over a remote connection before buying myself, as it is very expensive software that also requires a physical dongle to work.
YOU MUST HAVE A DECENT STEADY INTERNET CONNECT AND USING WINDOWS PC!
You must be rooted! ( I have not tried this on a non rooted Note 5 and do not know if it will work. With that said if you're unrooted and one of the few I have time to try this remote unlock with, you proceed at your own risk!)
Please Nandroid or backup your data by whatever means you may use!
Although this will not root your phone or flash anything to your Note 5, you do this at your own risk!
If the remote unlock is unsuccessful, remember this didn't cost you a thing, and if it worked please post to this thread!
I am using a friends licensed software and hardware that he has been kind to let me try, please understand that I cannot do this for everyone that responds and my time is limited! With that said you will get a PM from me instructing you to download the 7zip file below for setup. At the moment, I have time for 5 to 6 quick unlocks! Don't get mad if you're not picked, as it will be random! Don't PM me regarding this thread, unless I PM'ed you in response to your thread reply. Thank you!
ENABLE USB DEBUGGING:
1. To enable "USB DEBUGGING", go to settings, then "About Phone", then tap "Build Number" 7 times.
2. Enable "USB debugging" and "OEM Unlock" in "Settings", "Developer options".
3. Connect the phone to PC with USB cable, install drivers if needed.
Download UnlockTools.7zip :
UnlockTools2.7z
Unzip and install as Administrator with shortcuts on your Desktop for easy access.
This zip contains two files:
Flexihub Setup - Used to connect to your Note 5 from remote connection. This can also be downloaded from the developers website as a free download for individual users. Google and you will find. Otherwise use my link.
TeamViewer Setup - Used to connect to your PC remotely and connect Flexihub software to your device. This can also be downloaded from the developers website as a free download for individual users. Google and you will find. Otherwise use my link.

Unlocked Hotspot

From reading around, it seems probably and most likely the bootloader will be locked which will make custom Roms and development very difficult. I am due an upgrade, thus I was wondering if anyone knows if a working Hotspot fix without root is available? Sprint variant, Note 7...just asking around before I upgrade.

S7 like the thread. I'm also waiting on my Note7 to come, but this method isn't really device specific. It doesn't use a menu or feature that's specific to the s7. It might not work on the note 7, but I think there's a pretty good chance that it does. :good:

Agreed with you there. Fingers crossed.

When you get your device, don't let them update it. Like many of us we can setup our phone ourselves. Set it up, take nothing further than what's on the phone and try the method I explained. When I got my edge, I said to just activate the device and hand me my phone. I played around with a note 7 at a best buy while they tried to figure out my sd card gift with a guy that was there. He's lucky I didn't have a phone at the time to take pics and guess that's why he didn't mind the black woman beside me use it that was ignorant to WHaT we do. His was running on am obvious beta, but I did look and I think I saw it was PEH

Well, I should be getting mine via FedEx on Friday, but you're right, I won't take any updates
Heck, with any luck it'll be like the last time they shipped me a device. When they replaced my s7 Edge, it came w the Sprint firmware, but none of the Sprint apps. Essentially the PEH, but...not. That's probably once in a million, but I can dream lol

Any new news on this?

I've had ZERO luck. USB Tether is successful and appears to be faster than I remember. I'm continuing to try other methods as well and will update as I test things out.

What have you tried?

I tried the steps from the second post of this thread. I wasn't able to edit any of the LTE files that were found.
I tried browsing to the file location (Root is needed to access the location)
I tried the manual ##DATA# entered my MSL. I can see the APN settings screens, but the are greyed out and you cant edit them.
I've been tethering for quite a while using USB FoxFi and PDANET.
Have you had any luck?

So you were atleast able to use FoxFi over usb and PDANET to get free wired tethering to work on the Note 7? If so can you point me in the direction on how to set that up in the meantime? Thanks ahead of time.

I went through all the settings I could find but APNs were either greyed out or needed root to get to the settings. So bummer there. Might have to give the USB tethering a shot

Step by step on how to get USB tethering working with PC/Mac and Note7
1. Install PC/Mac pdaNET software. Choose whatever fits your need. http://pdanet.co/a/
2. pdaNET is part of FoxFi. Install FoxFi from the market. Do them a favor and purchase the app. It's money well spent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
3. Open FoxFi and select USB Tether. And give it a sec to activate.
3a. Confirm your device is connected via USB cable. (if I don't put this in, someone will say...You didn't say I had to connect it via USB)
4. Turn on the PC/Mac portion. On my MAC, I right click the pdaNET icon and choose Connect.
Thats it. You should have a connection. I test by putting the laptop or MAC in Airplane mode and surf the net. I'd be curious to see your connection speeds. Please post!!

Rebooting my Sprint Note 7 and turning it on right away works just like on the S7
