Triada.aw trojan in brand new Ulefone S8 Pro [MT6737] - Security Discussion

Hello.
I just bought a brand new Ulefone S8 Pro from Gearbest.
While connecting to my company's wifi an alarm from their security service (Esentire) picked up a trojan signature hash: Triada.aw
Anyone had this problem before?
How can I root this phone and which ROM should I flash?
Thank you.

Don't know about your phone specifically but you should be able to find a way to disable that app (others too maybe) their are many tutorials on web eg
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Or maybe apps like Package Disabler or Debloater etc will work for you. But if you can find a root method & custom ROM, that may be better (best to use a well known one from a trusted dev here on XDA)

Hello, I have the same problem and I have sent several emails to the company to eliminate the Trojan of the sound recorder ... but they still do not answer.
I'll keep sending more emails, but ... if some developer does twrp for our phone, we can root it and delete it.

Yes, Ulefone just doesn't care. You can try ADB, then uninstall that app. The apk stays on the phone but inactive. That's what I have done.

The problem of the Trojan of my ULEFONE S8 PRO is the sound recorder, and it is installed in the system part, so if I do not root or install TWRP I can not delete it. If any developer can help us and give us some solution ... I sent several emails to ULEFONE and they do not answer. The Trojan was detected by ESET NOD 32 MOBILE.
Thank you

They will not remove it it's what they built into system & it is working exactly as it was designed to work, I believe. It's just that most people would probably class it as a Trojan due to it's behavior.
you should freeze it like @r1kkman.

Yes, with TWRP or CWM we could root it and delete the apk, but with ADB you can uninstall it. Then just the apk package sits in the priv-apps folder, without harming the OS.

Do you mind giving details about how you did without root? I tried the following
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.soundrecorder
and got the following error: Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
Never mind, found it:
Code:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.soundrecorder

Hi there!
Thanks for the help regarding Ulefone S8 Pro Tojan.
Just received my brand new S8 Pro yesterday 14.02.2018.
Shipped from the "Ulefone Official Store" at Aliexpress.
However, so far everything fine, beside the fact that they still ship out devices with the Trojan in the ROM.
Checking with ESET, IKARUS and Malwarebytes confirms the result.
Build Number: F9G62C.GQU.Ulefone.HB.H.SSXSJS5MH.0718.V3.01
However I could successfully remove the soundrecorder.apk by using ADB shell.
Nethertheless Ulefone doesn't offer FOTA update after 3 months of detecting the virus in the firmware.
Best regards

I believe they are unlikely to change the trojan app as they do not regard it as such, it's working as they intended, .... one man's Trojan is another man's feature :silly:

I have just updated to V3.03
Found on needrom.com
And there are no hidden Spy Apps like on V3.01

I tried but no success

I found it in needrom.com. I used MP MDT. It contains everything including device driver. I followed all the steps as
the author said. First of all, my OS 's (tried Win10 and Win8) do not detect my Ulefone. I checked device manager but
no port appears. Needless to say, SP_MDT does not detect anything in step 9).
What version of OS did you use? You used device driver included in the SP_MDT package?
Please describe (briefly) about your success story.
Thanks.

Solved
After posting my problem, I kept trying and solved. The solution is easy. Use the newest version of SP_Flash_Tool.
The version is 5..1804 at this moment. Everything was smooth on this tool. I tried with my Win8. Drivers seems successfully installed with the installer on needrom.com. Only the point I found is that when you plug Ulefone S8 pro
after click 'Download' button on Flash_Tool, better detection is expected if you keep pressing the Vol Down button
of the smartphone then connect the USB plug.
I am now V3.02, yes you can go to V3.03 but a post on needrom.com says there is some problem with V3.03. If the
problem will be solved, I will go to V3.03 (or V3.04 at that time?).

OK, good to see that you solved the problem by using latest version of flashtool.
What I am facing on both versions is following.
Scheduled On/Off does not work when the phone is connected at charger.
I am using this feature with the phone is connected at the charger to automatically switch on/off during night.
On all my old Android 6.0 devices this works great. However in the Ulefone S8 Pro the scheduled On/Off does work only when the timer is set at arround 1h. Setting up to 8h and connecting to the charger, the phone does not wake up and switch on.
It seems to be a problem of the Doze, battery mode of Android 7.0.
Can someone try this feature?
Thank you.

Does anyone know if Ulefone s8 pro has screen mirroring function. (Cast)

[Q] FileMate Clear 7" T720 tablet

Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!
I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!
I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)
I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...
I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.
sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

FileMate Clear T720
Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]
ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

Rooted With Kingo
I just bought one of these cheap to play with and used Kingo to root it. Worked first time, no problem. The only issue I am having is that the SuperSu binaries are failing to update but root is still working. Titanium is working and Root Explorer so I can debloat. Hope that helps is anyone is still trying to use these

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.

SM-T210 Root without ODIN!

Hey guys, since I wanted the flashcounter to keep from climbing up too high, I was looking for a rooting method, that would not involve Odin.
I searched all day long and finally had luck with THIS ONE.
Works like a charm, but leaves a chinese version of superuser behind. But I guess everyone who is looking for root and makes it, should be able to change the superuser.apk (dont forget to set the correct permissions ).
To grant Superuser permissions, you need to hit the right button at the superuser prompt!
-sidenote- mine updated during the setup process, so wait till it goes all the way to 100% and installs again.
Well other than that, have fun and now I need to look into mobile Odin, because then I guess we wont need Odin anymore and can keep the flash-O-meter from climbing
Maybe someone can also create a full system-dump, so we can restore untouched partitions if needed. Would be great if someone who is new here could do so!
TWRP ADB flasher(no Odin-no flashcounter):
http://d-h.st/xde
Credits go to @gr8nole (TWRP) @Ilko (the script) @redy2006 (the package)
If I forgot you here, please PM me and I ll add you ASAP!
Hope it helps some fellows out
Oh and maybe I can find out about the exploit they are using, so we can make our own software, without having to install their software
root
Thanks for the post this worked once I remembered to set to USB bugging mode good thing I read Chinese (joking)
Cool!
Too bad I already rooted my SM-T210 with Odin by now. Still an interesting find!

Nice, the value has to be stored somewhere where flashing neither custom ROMs nor Recovery touch it...shouldn't be too hard to find it - but probably dangerous...(bootloader partition?)

Try the following:
I first flashed the ROM released in October 2013, then rooted and installed TWRP.
Then:
Delete Sysscope data
Stop the process
Stop Enterprise vpn (not sure, if this is necessary)
Delete Enterprise sysscope data
Shut your tablet down,
Reboot to upload mode, enter it and check for the change, then hold the powerbutton for 10 secs to reboot and also check in Settings-About phone-Status
And please report back

Does this mean that my current sm-t210 (in fw 4.1.2) which is stock and non rooted can be rooted without losing warranty ?
and the mention about a chinese superuser is easy to "repair" and get back my French status ?
Or what about this other method from Ironman38102:

First make sure all the drivers are installed then go to this website http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ and download the tool. Then launch the tool and u may see option #drop supersu etc. Etc. And then press start. After when its completed download and install supersu then download busybox and install busybox via busy box app.
Done(Hope I was clear enough)

In Cydiaimpactor, do we need to change anyoption ? (you mention "#drop supersu, etc." : do we need such options or just leave them as they are ?)
Is it the cydiaimpactor which is allowing root, or the supersu and busybox ? Those apps (busybox and supersu) are supposed to require root, but I didn't know they are used to root.

I downloaded cydiaimpactor, but It doesn't find my device. When I connect tablet on PC, the PC can see the tablet. Just in case, I downloaded some drivers (not found on samsung which apprently only lists in downloads some manuals.. but google drove me to some pages with samsung drivers) and my PC can discuss with tablet.
But when clicking "start" in Cydia, I receive an error message "no device found" and if I tru the USB/scan menu, I also receive an error message "no such device". Any idea ?
Cydia had no installer, so I unzipped all files in a temporary folder (c:\temp\cydiaimpactor) and double click on the .exe .

Try reinstalling the drivers by connecting it in a different usb port. It will search and install the drivers then try again

I'm stupid... I had forgotten to enable "usb debug".. Once enabled, I run cydia with same error, but retrying 1 minute later, it worked !
After cydia, I did not install supersu, but only rootkeeper, which detected the tablet as rooted.
What is the advantage of supersu ? Description lists many features, but are those really helpfull when usage is not to develop but rather to enable use of apps such as adblocking, security, etc. ?
Thanks a lot for your help, and bravo for having found and published ths method which allows my device to remain with "official" status !

(Q) How to root Mediapad X2?

I used lots of methods trying to root Huawei Mediapd X2 but got no lucks.
Anybody gets successful?
I happened to see there is an article published recently on this an some comments say they succeeded. I didn't try it myself, as I am not sure the Super-Root.apk used in the article is safe or not.

tozhangkai...the first link just goes to an endless circle of surveys (have seen that before for other files...i do not know if people really are able to get files from that link..but appears you have)
Framaroot...1.4.1 is an old one from October last year..the latest is 1.93 and that does not even run anyway (immediately has a message saying basically that this exploit does not work for the system)..anyway both do not work
EDIT
i also tried srs one click root..went through several reboots,,,and said at the end the rooting was a success and that superuser apk was installed..but it wasn't
may have a go at it again later..(it came up with a message to accept and i missed it and it timed out on me)

Unlock is required before trying any root method.
use below URL to apply for unlock code:
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply
It's a Chinese web page, but easy to guess.
If the web page doesn't work, take a snapshot of the phone box with IMEI and SN number, send to [email protected] requesting for unlock code.
They'll reply in 2~4 weeks, too slow. An email with 16 number unlock code.
Use fastboot unlock OEM to unlock the bootloader.
Root and 3rd party recovery is only possible after the unlock.
For now, you cannot unlock even if you get the code
I unlocked bootloader , but the root can not be done any program .
I did unlock and someone showed that the root genius can root the phone via adb command.
The bad news is that I can't install the adb driver somehow
Root genius can not handle it . I can not install any CWM recovery. Maybe someone has any advice ?

Just send Huawei an Email with your IMEI #, Model Number, Serial Number and Product Number telling them you keep getting an error when trying to unlock your phone from their website. That's what I did. Of course you need to be unlocked before you can do any of the following.
-Make sure you have the drivers installed for the phone
-Plug the USB cable into the computer and into the phone
-Turn phone off and while turning it back on hold volume down and phone will enter download mode
-Download Android Platform tools from my Dropbox I made it easier for everyone. (The super_bootb013.apk file is included)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7dgdl6r2nftz5mt/AABvdjdt4a4zRNAsSE1QR2Oaa?dl=0
-Right click on the Android Platform Tools folder while holding in Shift and select Open Command Window Here
-When the command prompt opens type in fastboot flash boot super_boot.b013.img
-After it finishes, type in fastboot reboot. The phone will boot normally.
-Then you have two options. Download SuperSU from the Google Play Store, install it, open up and update the binary if it prompts you.
or
-Included in my Android Platform Tools folder is the Superuser.apk file. Just install that manually, then open it and update the binaries. When you reboot you will be rooted. This works on B013 only.
-I also installed the Chinese TWRP and even though I can't read Chinese, I have no problems getting around in it.

Rooted Verizon Note 5 but SU Doesn't Work

Hi everybody. I was trying to put this thread in development section, but I don't have enough permission.
I have a rooted Verizon Note 5 in hand (Retail Version). Somebody did it. Then I need to remove some stock apps in it. Like Mobile Hot Spot, VZ Navigation. I was trying to do this in a easy way. I got full access to system folder and put a SU command in xbin and I successfully run it in terminal, but when I run Titanium Backup. It says it can't run the su comman under xbin folder. Does any body knows why? Am I using a wrong su file for note 5 or I am not actually root it or what are the conditions can make Titanium Backup running.
Sorry, I don't know how to attach pictures here. I can only attach these link to google drive.

Malware disguised as system app: how to remove it?

Hi guys! I'm here asking for your help for a problem that is riddling me.
My mother got (against my advices..) a chinese Yuntab E706 tablet. She has been using it for a while, but she started noticing abnormal popups, installed apps etc.
Tried running Avast and Malwarebytes that found some PUPs. two of them found by avast kept on being reactivated on reboot. Malwarebytes found this:
Android/PUP.Riskware.SilentInst.a in /system/priv-app/Xfota/Xfota.apk
Suggesting me to remove it: impossible, because it was a system app called "Online Update"! So it suggested to disable it: neither this option was available!
So I tried wiping cache and restore to factory setting.
After that, I tried firing up again Malwarebytes and voilà, it found the same malware, again in "Online Update" app. Also android marks this, in notification bar, as potentially harming for the devices, suggesting to disable it. The button disable doesn't work, though the app is listed under disabled app. Also Malwarebytes says it is disabled and could not do harm; I'm worried anyway about all this story, what should I do? The tablet is not rooted anyway.
Thanks everyone in advance!
try these tricks
Nice one. I feel ur pain. 1st u must find & do everything possible to root the phone. Then once rooted successfully via Kingroot and sorts. Download rootuninstaller, titaniumbackup or 3c toolbox pro to force remove the virus after granting root access.
Alternatively, u can boot into safe mode by preesing power button to display power options, then press-holding the "power off" option to reveal "boot into safe mode" which when booted into allows you to undo changes done by apps that can damage your phone.
Pls feel free to ask questions.
Gud luck!

1st try to find out ur processor type, whether it's qualcomm, or mtk or powervr, or whatever. try gsmarena.com to check ur fone's specs or manufacturer's website. knowing fone's processor type make choice of rooting process easier.
well most china fones meant for international market ought to be mtk
try latest version of kingroot apk app[requires internet] in rooting d fone
And if fone is "mtk", we can use mtkdroidtool pc app & spflashtool pc app to create scatter file & extract, from d fone, the boot.img & recovery.img which can both be used to create a twrp custom recovery tailored specifically for ur fone.
pls try all these out diligently & give feedback.
best of luck!
P.S.
i actually found out the fone is mtk i.e. mt83321; dwnld & install out latest kingroot apk on ur fone with internet connection
then head over to http://www.theandroidhow.com/2014/05/how-to-make-backup-stock-boot-recovery.html?m=0, read those instructions carefully, download the required softwares and get the processes started.
best of luck!
@HellFire90
BTW, xfota is not malware it's the Over The Air updater used by some Chinese phones, that said it pretty much behaves like malware so I'd say it is.
I don't know how to root your device but if that nonroot method I posted works then you don't have to. Be wary of root apps, some will be worse than your current problem… especially if from some random website.
i've decided to help u all the way & i've created assortment of files for u to download. First head to https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0BygHnAHGWWirc1JKZWdFUWZGR2M&export=download, and download and extract the zip file. Then read the read_me_1st.txt, and get back to me.
@HellFire90
Kingroot is one of the most effective rooting apps but it comes with adware! Also I have doubts about just what info is sent back to China so I've never used it. See the XDA thread about it, they suggest replacing it with supersu after rooting or whatever, I can't remember exactly,

Kingroot is one of the most effective rooting apps but it comes with adware! Also I have doubts about just what info is sent back to China so I've never used it. See the XDA thread about it, they suggest replacing it with supersu after rooting or whatever, I can't remember exactly,

In my gdrive attachment above u find my careful assortment of softwares, files & folder hand-picked by me.
1st install all android usb drivers [those .inf files] from Computer Management, and then Device Drivers.
Those install all necessary adb driver from the adb software and folders.
My solution with Total Commander [with adb plugin, and provided those adb drivers&usb drivers are installed] allows u to access the entire file system of ur android without root access(i'm still currently using this method on my PC) to edit root directories and access phone's internal memory.
Pls give it a try and give me ur feedbacks.
Enjoy!

Hi guys! I'm here asking for your help for a problem that is riddling me.
My mother got (against my advices..) a chinese Yuntab E706 tablet. She has been using it for a while, but she started noticing abnormal popups, installed apps etc.
Tried running Avast and Malwarebytes that found some PUPs. two of them found by avast kept on being reactivated on reboot. Malwarebytes found this:
Android/PUP.Riskware.SilentInst.a in /system/priv-app/Xfota/Xfota.apk
Suggesting me to remove it: impossible, because it was a system app called "Online Update"! So it suggested to disable it: neither this option was available!
So I tried wiping cache and restore to factory setting.
After that, I tried firing up again Malwarebytes and voilà, it found the same malware, again in "Online Update" app. Also android marks this, in notification bar, as potentially harming for the devices, suggesting to disable it. The button disable doesn't work, though the app is listed under disabled app. Also Malwarebytes says it is disabled and could not do harm; I'm worried anyway about all this story, what should I do? The tablet is not rooted anyway.
Thanks everyone in advance!

And if neither of the afore mentioned methods work there's also the following one, that works on some phones that my first method does not eg S8 ,(not sure if swizzy's method will work on all phones so posting this just in case)
