Hi,
My phone was recently compromised with a sophisticated RAT. The exploits the RAT used were picked up by CM security and CM said it found.
1. Towel Root Exploit
2. Fake ID Exploit - something to do with exploiting Android certificates.
The thing is I have never rooted the phone or done anything other than a factory reset and purchased it new.
I'm concerned this may have been planted by someone close to me and need information to ensure I am safe in future.
How possible is it that this was carried out physically? the hacker who planted the RAT had physical access to my phone?
There is also other evidence which I can supply which was suggesting my phone had been flashed without my knowledge as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: I just did a factory reset and reinstalled CM and again the exploits were found. How is this possible? Is the malware embedded in my ROM?

The are false.
Imean look at one. It is how one roots a device
The Fake ID is something else though.
Dont trust Virus warnings. They will detect anything to do with root as an exploit.
Hi,
A lot of what we do here on XDA can get reported as virus and what not... Cause a lot of what do here are hacks/exploits . I would say not to worry, but if you want to ask people that know your device and the CM you are using, I need to know your make and model to point you in the right direction. ?

Foe them do anything they would would have needed to have access to your device for an extended period. Don't trust cm security. It is pointless and doesn't do anything really.
Here is a good place to learn and discuss security issues... You could browse through some of these threads or ask about your issue here...
> General discussion > Security Discussion
Some very knowledgeable members are around that section. ?
Why I cant even downloading and updating my apps in my device, is that because of my device is root? Tell me about superSU details and uses of superSU
Hi,
If you have a specific issue, you will need to be more clear on the issue and provide more details.
As far as what "rooting" actually is, Here's a good explanation I found .. .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910124
?
I was looking around in the engineering tools to see if I could find some kind of hidden root method for my Siswoo C55 when I accidently changed some value that made my phone unable to send sms messages. Does anybody know what I messed up and how to fix it? I'm fairly certain that its one of the Telephony or Connectivity settings. It's an unrooted phone (I still can't find a root method for my phone) and there's no master reset switch for the values in the engineering settings so I can't just start over. I've already tried a factory reset with no effect and there's no apparent way for me to re-flash the ROM without root. Any help?
Hi,
I can't find a relevant thread for your device and issue, but here is a dedicated thread for your device that you could ask for help in,

Good luck!
I apologize if this is posted elsewhere in the forums, or if it's incorrectly placed, But I figured it may be useful to some.
after hours of looking and browsing the internet, I finally found a way to root my Samsung Galaxy J1 by Verizon.
You will need the following: Samsung Galaxy SM-J100VPP non rooted
Kingoroot application OR
Kingroot application.
Step 1) Go to your dialer and enter *#*#759#*#* or install an app called Hidden Menus and look for "Rlz Debug UI..."
Step 2) turn OEM Mode ON
Step 3) Use KingoRoot or King Root and click root.
This will work on devices that have received the OTA update from VZW.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone knows of a CWM Recovery or Custom Roms For this device, I would very much appreciate a link. if not, I will have to try to port it myself. Thanks in advance.

Are you using a Bluetooth or any sort of headpiece?
Bunk help
I've tried the king method and odin method and still can't root this J100VPP.
I even tied to brick it nothing. The king method stops at 90 percent. I'm lost, I need a new idea.
I have the exact same phone and I was able to root with kingroot.net. If I remember correctly I had to do it two times before it was successful.
Patience

Old thread but I just got root using Kingroot 4.9.5 to root SM-J100VPP with andriod 5.1.1 confirmed and working.:good:
Working for me but afraid to update it with the chainfire one want exposed on this
It worked for me with Kingroot and Hidden Menus but after optimizing with Kingroot and uninstalling a few bloatware apps, it crashed, restarted (with the open lock icon, "custom" underneath, now on startup) and no longer has root access in Root Checker, it saying "Root access is not properly installed on this device".
I think it should be noted that Kingroot originally told me root access was unavailable but below also said "Root strategy available, just try it", so I did. Now it seems that wasn't permanent. I won't attempt it again unless one of you has a lead that requires me to.
And how do I know if I got the OTA update from VZW?
Anyone else have this problem?
I am a greenhorn with this stuff. This is my first root attempt. Please be specific when directing me somewhere if needed.
I used Kingo root and after a few tries it worked. I like this better because I can use tasker with the build in Superuser (after build prob mod of course and for some reason supersu). I was not able to get tasker to work with King root.

The hidden menus is an app you can download from the play store to enable Rlz Debug UI to OEM mode. I have used Kingroot (which is the closest i get to rooting the phone) and Kingoroot. Just go to their sites and download the APK.
HI i am new in this (but very good following steps and instructions )
i have a Kyocera Duraforce e6560, I have read something about rooting and i discovered that rooting is one thing and that installing a custom rom is another thing.
In my case the only thing i want in my phone is to enable the MMI codes functions and to remove the hotspot restriction (AT&T is well known by blocking the hotspot functionality of their phone if used with another network.
My doubs and questions:
Can i do that with rooting the device?
once i modify what i need to modify in order to get those functions working back again.. can i "unroot" the system back?
and if possible to remove some bloatware
can you help me to get that?
I have install first flashed twrp recovery and i flashed android recovery thinking that twrp will be removed.....
but it causes problem my Samsung star pro does not reboot.....
I found this thread while searching for a solution for the same hotspot problem.
The solution I found was the PdaNet+ app on the Google Play store. It works fine for me with an AT&T DuraForce E6560 and my Windows 10 laptops.
