S8 safe from BlueBorne - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I just updated BlueBorne scanner and checked. My S8 from TMobile on the latest July update (so far behind, but apparently Korea is getting 7.1.1 soon) is not affected. Well here are some screenshots. Test it on your phones too.

I tested with Samsung S7. BlueBorne-Scanner said 'not vulnerable'
I turned Bluetooth on at the S7 and scanned with BlueBorne-Scanner (from my Xiaomi Redmi 4X) nearby Bluetooth Devices and found my Galaxy S7 with 'High Risk'

weird. mine says not vulnerable and over nearby devices, same thing. I tested it with a Nexus 6p.

Take the newest update from Play Store. It was an Bug.

My S8+ says vulnerable. What to do. I have latest firmware.

Mine says vulnerable. Screenshot attached.
Part of me is hoping for a kernel exploit to get further into the kernel with root

Latest firmware too (root w/ combo bl/boot), maybe vulnerable because selinux is permissive?

Just to be clear, the snapdragon S8 and S8+ is currently still vulnerable to blueborne, no it won't help us get deeper into the kernel (pretty idiotic idea) and no it's not vulnerable because selinux is permissive.

S Health on a Rooted Device

Hi there,
got one question for you. I hope I find some help here.
I rooted my G930F few months ago and now just updated to android 7 nougat beta. Now my device is not rooted.
The problem is, that when I try to launch S Health app, the app says something about that KNOX is tripped. Aaaand I'm not able to launch it. It has something to do with SHealth's connection with knox, implemented in version 5.0 (for security reasons).
The app itself is in my opinion a crappy piece of software on itself, but it's the only way to see all data from my Gear s3 watch on my phone...
Any ideas how to make it work? Any way to set a fake status for knox?
Thanx so much for any advice...
I have the same problem
There is no way to untrip the Knox so unless you find a modified S Health app (don't know if there is one or it's even possible), you are out of luck.

Yet with 6.0.1 in root never had a problem! The problem has appeared with Android 7.
The problem has appeared with the new version of S Health as OP himself or herself states. So except for downgrade or installing old version of SHealth I don't see a way to use it. Can probably be somehow hacked but who knows how

I tried to go back to old version that does not work either!
So Samsung is making our phone unusable once rooted if we want to use Gear watches or all the features of the phone? Very sad and a very bad move from Samsung.
I am rooted with Android 6 and can still use it, I will consider strongly about this before moving to Android 7 then... Thanks for the head's up.
Maybe install a rom that doesn't contain knox stuff?
so any solution ???
Try previous versions of S Health?
No previous version works. Only if we go back to MM s health works again
WTF happens?
Solution HERE
Thanks!
It worked! Thanks!

Please post your source for this. Didn´t find anything about Samsung stopping Security-Updates in a quick search.
I think it would be cool to have Android 8 by November, but i still think it will come in February...
Please provide source etc
Afaik there's a beta program in November which I'm holding out rooting for but the main update is a few months away at least

Also all over Google bud.
Iv come from HTC land so not sure of Sammy update test routines but looks interesting!
HTC beta programs were a bit too exclusive but looks like the s8 test is open to whoever wants to provide feedback and test?

we are getting 7.1.1 then a Oreo beta then oreo. Oreo closer to December from my best guess.
They don't stop regular updates to do betas.
I was wondering why my s8 did not receive September update yet.
Usually I get the security update 15th of the month.
And this September security update is very important because all our devices are vaurnable to Bluetooth attacks. I hope Samsung releases it soon.
My S8 still has July security patch(running T-Mobile firmware). T-Mobile previously released all security patches monthly, but skipped August, so I do think it is possible for 7.1.1 to come soon with at least September patch.

My T-Mobile branded S8 got the August security patches, but I'm located in germany. Maybe some policy restrictions in different countries.

The unlocked S8 units in US also got August update, but T-Mobile US for some reason haven't.

Oreo final release might be close.

Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.
new fw is BRA+0-9/A-F (when build in 2018)

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number
Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.
I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

It's only a reference site so nothing to download from it.

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?
I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?

It is true.. it's wifi certification test on android pie.. it's going to be the first Samsung phone receiving 3 major OS updates
Certificates were revoked. Likely somebody playing a prank or some other screwups. No Pie for S7/S7E- least of all for us in the US (we get screwed either way).

Poc expolit yet?

Just wondering, (I know a long shot) if anyone happen to find an exploit for root shell yet? Maybe even a poc exploit? Magisk able preferably. Yes root with bootloader locked. Been done on other phones, Xperia, lg v20 etc. Garbage how we are locked down. Even a full root with bootloader v6 (forced current) would be even better. I have only seen for v1. Tmobile snapdragon usa btw.
theres a new exploit 'dirtycred'! theres some good info here on it and WORKING ANDROID CODE (unreleased for now):
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1544379506659663872
it appears like older kernels wont work with the exploit according to one of the devs.
I'm thinking to update my a71 5g phone with the latest one UI 4.1 update, but unsure of the kernel version included??
Can anyone please post what kernel versions come in the a71 5g updates? or, link me where i can find this? in all the update documentation, i dont see any kernel version info
also, i see there IS a "dirty pipe" (not dirtycred) exploit fix in the latest updates. i am unsure if this will also fix dirtycred or not, though i dont think it will

I tried looking into dirtypipe but couldn't find much. Also wasn't sure if it would work for this A71 5g (Snapdragon). I personally haven't updated in a while so I am currently on kernel 4.19 UI 3.1 (date ASPL 11/1/21). This seems interesting non the less. Wonder what all is needed/how to do other then video. In case you are trying to find your version, it's under settings-then about phone-then software information.
So I just check another A71 5g Snapdragon that's has newest update and it's still 4.19

so you have a different a71 that is the most up to date on android 12? and android 12 still uses 4.19? ugh
you would think they would've included a kernel update in the OS updates from android 11 -> 12
guess not
Yeah, I checked my gf's cause hers forced updates to current, mine I paused an update awhile ago so it's locked until I unpause it. Phones now adays are just insane with lockdown. You would think it would have updated kernel as well, but maybe something for 4.19 will show...hopefully.

I wonder if any of these may be possible. 2021 I did see 4.19 ... https://github.com/bcoles/kernel-exploits
So the 2019 might be better for 4.19... https://github.com/bcoles/kernel-exploits/blob/master/CVE-2019-13272/poc.c
