Remote task29 as security

Hi Guys
Is there a application that could execute a remote task29 if phone gets stolen?
Most of theves are dump so would not know how to put the OS back on.
The normal way of IMEI blocking does not work, some networks will not care to block, some will not communicate to others so it will be blocked for example on O2 but not t-mobile... We all also know that you just need to sell a IMEI blocked unit abroad.
Two functions would need to be present:
Function 1 a remote wipe so you send a txt message.
Function 2 is to wipe the phone if new sim is inserted and password is not provided. Such software would need to be able to cook itself in to rom.
Second possibility for Function 2 is each time new sim is inserted a txt message is sent on pre-arranged mobile number and then use remote wipe.

lookout mobile security has that feature of remote wipe.

antivirus, remote wipe, and gps locator all work.

It is not even remotely the same as even if you do wipe the device it is still usable, there is just you data erased. I am talking OS erased so phone does not work, so you can get it to bootloader and only if you know how.

considering you cannot even task29 unless you are synced to a computer, how do you suppose this can be accomplished???

I am not a software developer but I would say a app that works just before OS boots.
TBH task29 seems like the best idea as if you were to get the phone back you could get it back online but any app that would brick the phone remotely is what one needs.
I am quite certain something like that could be done.

why not have it flash a bricking radio from sd card or within the rom, if the command is send?

how about an app then makes the phone transform into a plane and fly back to you?
its impossible what you are asking for afaik

Bolox I can flash radio or OS from SD card. All a app would need to do is get phone to bootloader on command and have, as suggested, a bricked rom for radio on SD card. A bricked radio rom would not need to be big in size so a cab installer would work.

Its a very good idea, hope some1 can do it..

my hats off to you sir, a very good idea!
Now if there is only a developer skilled enough to realise it!

A phone wiping program would wipe personal data.

Might be so, but if knowledge gets around that more and more phones can (and will) be bricked remotely once stolen, why steal?
I think it would be a very useful feature on any phone.
So I agree with the question for such an app.

Well why do you fit a alarm on a car when it is gone it is gone, why do you put alarm in a house when they come they come.
Something odd with this statement. Why would you think it is ok for some one who stole my phone to use it when I had to work for it?
For me best solution would be to have it wired with C4 and 5s in to first phone call boom!!!
As that would be illegal second option brick the phone.

Since when does a car alarm or home alarm burn down my house or car? That is essentially the same thing. If someone breaks into my house and steals my 60" dlp, I can't remote detonate it either.
I'm guessing that I don't understand. Maybe it is my long history with cdma phones that had esn's that could be blocked making the phones worthless (usually) once stolen.

Ill build it .... i just need a few beta testers?
Any takers?
jk.. i actually like the idea of disabling my phone if i knew it was gone for sure. .but i dont think i would be comfortable running around with this bomb in my phone unless i knew how to fix it.. and a bricked radio (easiest remote detonate solution) is obviously unfixable.

you know I was hoping this topic was headed in a different direction. like the phone company or microsoft running ras commands. like injecting and changing your files around so when you go to flash the seed will be planted for later execution. but dude if your phone gets stolen beat the punk bastards ass. or make sure you have handset protection. stupid topic. its just gonna add to the bricked my phone posts but not before they go on a couple of paragraphs of how they know what there doing but this and but that. wow then its gonna keep spreading like a ****ing plauge of dumb ass questions instead of keeping their cocksucker shut and read and learn. if your not f-ing it up, then your not learning.

i remember the sony ericsson p910, p990, and p1i could have set a sim password that works the same way the bios password works on most laptops with this feature... once the sim changed or the phone is flashed, the password must be entered to boot into the OS, personally i think this should be standard on every mobile OS...
and regardless how much times you reinstall windows, flash the bios, or remove the bios battery, the password remains, kinda annoying but at least it works

There are already some really good apps available for if your phone is lost or stolen. I don't know the names off the top of my head but I did some help on development on one 2 years ago and it was quite advanced and will send you silent text containing the new IME number if changed and the GPS location. Rendering the phone useless would be stupid in my opinion if you intend on retrieving it. let the security software do it's job and be happy to get your phone back.

[Q] Worried about privacy!

Hey all,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 phone broke down and since it was under warranty, I'm sending it back for a warranty exchange.
My question is, how secure is this transaction? I have lots of passwords/accounts/files that I wouldn't want other eyes to look at and I'm a bit paranoid by the whole process.
And yes, I did speak to a T-Mobile customer support person and they said that it was secure, but just from another source, what do you guys think?
Thanks

It's not secure at all. This is one of the main reasons why I will never buy a phone without external SD-card. All my documents, photos etc are on it.
Unless you have got USB debugging enabled and can force wipe your data via ADB it's too late now. You just need to trust that they won't do anything with your data, which they probably won't.

Hi,
Thanks for the fast response!
My phone is completely dead so I can't even access my phone through my laptop. And yes I have usb debugging on.
But since you said that they probably wont touch my info, would it be considered relatively "secure" then?
And as a side note, I have a pattern lock on my phone.

And to anyone else reading this, dont hesitate to respond!
This is open to everyone for discussion!!

Pattern Lock is waste ! Anyone can easily remove it. Did you encrypt your sdcard (internal)... Some phones have an option to do that (it could make it difficult to get the data without a password) ... Usually if the servicing staff is a good person they'll leave your data untouched... But there can be criminals everywhere ... so .. I'd say your data is insecure !

Technically your data is unsafe. However, given the symptoms you have described, I don't see it being an issue. They aren't going to be trying to fix the phone as it is - they will simply try to reflash (as per factory) the entire system and if that doesn't work they'll be replacing the motherboard.
You could see enemies round every corner - someone could steal your phone in the street and then your data would be unsafe. I think that the T-Mobile staff are the least of your concerns

not secure...
but...
most probably the staffs/staves aren't the ones who are interested with your passwords....
and...
try to have an external next time...
just my piece of cents,,,,

Thanks for the responses all!

I agree that my data is insecure (a lesson very well learned) and I'll definitely avoid doing this with my new phone.

Any security concerns about data recovery?

Pretty soon, I plan to sell my current phone, and some old tablets, in order to make money towards the new Nexus devices. I'm wondering, though, are there any security concerns for someone potentially being able to recover my data if I sell my phone off? Obviously, this is a big deal to me, because I have all my Google accounts (my primary one being the one I use my credit card through) connected to me phone. Being that my devices all have TWRP installed, my primary thought would be to use that to wipe the internal storage, and do a factory reset. But is it possible someone could still manage to recover my data somehow?
I hear people talk about this for PCs, and hard drives, about how if someone really wanted to, they could theoretically recover your data even if you reformat your computer. Is that possible on smartphones as well, or is it different, due to phones using what I assume is flash memory (or whatever type of memory, that's different from a computer HDD)?
I just want to make sure I take every precaution before I sell my phones off. Granted, I already use two-step authentication on all my Google accounts, anyway, but still. I don't want any risk of something bad happening.

Just make sure to flash a stock ROM on each of them a few times and you will be fine. Can it be done? Yes only if the space has not been over written. That is the reason for the extra Flash's.

So how many flashes should be enough to be safe? And do you have to boot up the phone in between flashes? Or could I just sit in TWRP, flashing the ROM over and over and over again?

I would just flash a few times in recovery. No real reason to reboot.

So "a few" would be what? 3? 5? 10+? What's a safe number?

3 To 5 times should be enough. This is the same thing a DOD wipe does. It over writes the system a bunch of times so any data in unrecoverable.

Okay, thanks for the info.
I guess, alternatively, I could just change all the passwords to my stuff while I'm in between phones, because then, even if someone was able to recover my data, they wouldn't be able to log in since the passwords would have changed, eh?
I dunno. That's going to be so much work, but I'm super paranoid about keeping my data safe, so I'm not sure I can put my faith in making my data unrecoverable by flashing a ROM multiple times. I was kind of hoping that phone memory worked differently than a computer HDD, in that regard, and that it wouldn't have been an issue, but...

You could but ill be honest. Anything that would be needed to recover any real useful info like passwords or such would take a level of skill most people do no posses. The easiest thing to recover are pic and such as that is stored on a different partition then the info your trying to protect.
I am also super careful when I sell old devices. So a simple couple of extra min in recovery is worth it. I also make sure to return the device to stock before I let it go. Just to be sure.

What is proof that my ex spies on my phons

So my recent ex boyfriend did something to my phone and was spying on me. He knew things that he would only know bc he had access to everything on my phone. Before u think I'm just paranoid I will say that he has been charged with a crime for doin this to someone else years ago. I think he flashed my phone to do whatever he did. He's very very smart when it comes to technology, he has about 6 laptops and works with computers. He even made the comment once that if he wanted to spy on my phone that it wouldn't matter bc I could never prove it. With one of my phone's I used to could put it in recovery mode but then one day it wouldn't go into recovery mode anymore, I have two build prop files when I used to have only 1. My question is where exactly would a folder be that has a file that wpild prove he spies on me, he's too confident that he can't be caught and admitted he's done it to his exes. This is illegal and wrong and he shouldn't get away with it. I saw something called conspy and cttyhack but I'm not sure if he put it on my phone or if that's just on some phones help me please, there has to be something in a folder I'm just unsure where to look

You could try Malwarebytes and scan your phone. I seem to mention this a lot around here but I've had good results helping friends and family when they screw something up.
Best bet is to wipe and factory reset.

Factory reset doesn't help. I know he flashed my phone so idk what he has programmed in the phone but he did something and I need to find the proof

Really really good question but you will hate the answer lol
To answer your question, you would need to seek someone with a reasonable level of tech (ideally) who is preferably certified or holds some form of IT credentials to present your case to the authorities. They would use a forensics program (such as EnCase® Forensic ) to make an exact replica of your phones data. Not to mention you would also need someone else (with a very high tech skill set) to be able to actually identify the malicious behaviour of your phone.... not super hard but can be.... if you were to just take your phone straight to the police yourself with your story .... I highly doubt much would come from it. Even if you can prove what you are saying is true AND you have your infected phone as evidence..... you still have no evidence he did it. Even if your friend was there with you and both watched the entire re flashing etc.... You are still beat... I am going to guess you would need no less than full video of him doing it and even then it would be very shaky.... who's phone was it etc etc ....non malicious hacks (to non celebs and elites) is run of the mill and they probably have about 0.1% of the IT personnel needed at their disposal.... long story short.... errr longish ... I would HIGHLY suggest replacing your phone or taking a chance and getting help from random "tech" Those are your two options.... or you could also get famous overnight I guess..... your call. :good:

Basically you can't prove he did it
But you can testify that he manually flashed a rom to your phone
You can get any decent intelligent tech company to dump your Rom
And compare it to the original rom for changes..
And if those changes are detrimental you have a civil case against him..
But for what it will cost you in tech fees and lawyer bills
Buy 10 new phones and don't let anyone touch them.

Use a firewall and see which apps have UNUSUALLY many permissions.
i think he used d*****ack, (sorry, i will not post the name of the hack)
Its quite easy to use and CAN be combined with an existing app
it can be used to record voice/video
can even see call logs, messaging history, whatssap etc.
so boot into recovery mode and wipe factory reset FROM recovery, not settings.(if you dont want to check each app manually)

I think he used d- r- o- i- d- j- a- c- k

you are just paranoid.
about the build.prop, whenever a change is made, the system saves the original as a backup. so youll have 2. if you dont want to be paranoid anymore, in twrp or cwm recovery, wipe the system then flash another rom or a factory image. wiping the system will delete any rom or anything that was added into your system. you will need to flash a rom before you could boot up again.

I think getting a new phone will be the most hassle free and likely cheapest solution. Turn off the other phone, take out the battery and you will have nothing to worry about it anymore.
Yes you can go and do al kinds of checks yourself, reset it and have some people look at it. But will you ever be sure that there is nothing malicious left on your phone? Just holding the phone that was once (or still is) infected by your (evil?) ex-boyfriend might bring up many emotions. Please don't lose your sleep over this. Spare yourself the trouble and get a new device.
Maybe it was time for an update anyway
Good luck!

If it is a good device, give it to me
Or even a crappy one I have a collection of both)
I'll use it
That will mess with your exs mind..

Locked out of my phone - PLEASE HELP

Hey all,
My battery died, after recharge i couldn't access my phone... It says my screen lock pin is wrong! - I NEVER CHANGED IT
And there is no way to reset it without erasing all my data... i had no backups and my engagements photos were there...
'Find my phone' stopped working after the restart (whats the point of it? why does 'find my phone' isn't auto-running and connecting to google? it means that anybody can steal the phone and just restart, wipe it, and use it? this is crazy)
Is there anything that can be done to get my data back?
Thanks

Not backing up your data, then panicking when things go wrong. Unfortunately, an all too common story I've seen on these forums. If the data is important to you, back it up. Don't want to sound overly harsh, but expecting these devices to be foolproof, it not a reasonable expectation. Maybe you just had this engagement event quite recently, and haven't had a chance to backup. But otherwise (as is the story for most folks) no backup plans or habits exist, which you now see is not a good idea.
It doesn't look good. They intentionally prevent data from being retrieved without the password, by design. I know that part is not your fault, it seems some error or corruption has resulted in your password being changed unintentionally.
If you previously modded/rooted the phone, and have TWRP installed there is a small chance (at least worth trying) that you can boot into TWRP and mount storage. But that will likely also prompt you for the passcode and give you the same error/problem. On a stock device (never modified), you have little or no means of retrieving the data.
Your best hope is probably to consider whether you had some cloud backup apps setup, that you might not be thinking about regularly (and may have forgotten about). Example, if you ever used the Google Photos app (not a default app on this phone from what I recall, but maybe you installed it at some point?), it will backup your photos to the cloud, with very little action on your part. You can then still access those photos from a computer or other device, once logged onto your Google account. Maybe only a slim chance of something like that having happened, but you don't have many options at this point.

From what I can tell, that app requires root, and the reviews are pretty negative.

Can you try enter many time wrong pin and then go to forget password/pin? If you make this you can log with your Google accaunt
