Hi guys,
I have been blocked from a forum called whirlpool. The mods on there are ridiculous. If anyone has used the site they know what i'm talking about.
The only way I was able to create a new account and go undetected was when i bought a new phone (galaxy s8+) and have used the account fine, using vpn's , new browsers , wiping the phone didn't etc didn't work which leads me to believe they are using device id's to detect banned users.which i think is extremely wrong as they make no mention of this in their ToS. however after a thousand posts on whirlpool i decided to blow my own cover and tell the mods i know they are tracking people. Now my account is banned again.
I have since decided to use magisk and twrp and used "Device ID changer" and "change my mac" yet they still detected me as me.
What possible method could they be using to stil be able to detect me?
After using "device id changer" i notice my android device id is changed but my "hardware serial" is still the same. Could that be it? If so, is there a way to change my hardware serial number?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there, I got a free account for APP Hub because im a student, however I cant seem to unlock my device? It wont let me? I verified my e-mail however it still wont let me unlock when I use the windows phone tools. Please help
Just found out that i need to make a dummy app, thanks anyway! However can i sideload as many apps as i want to or is there a limit? If there is a limit how many? As I might just use chevron!
With the student account you can only side load 5 apps, how ever there is a tool somewhere that can fix this problem.
Search my posts and you will find it.
thanks i found the tool, the problem is trying to make a dummy app, i have no idea
Do as i did
Find an app that you know will never be allowed in the market place, or one thats been rejected for some reason. Im sure you can find some if you look around
hey .. before i get bombarded with replies like this isnt the right forum or we are not supposed to help with stolen mobile cases ... please just hear me out
my mobile got stolen 1 month back .. i had where's my droid installed but that didnt help. there wasnt any other mobile tracking app installed so after taking all necessary measures like changing passwords and blocking IMEI and cell-number i gave up on ever finding it.
but today i just fancied logging into play.google.com and they still have my stolen galaxi mini 5570 listed under the android devices associated with my email. before getting stolen google market would recognize that "mobilink" was my service provider but today i found that another service provider "telenor" was associated with my galaxy mini.
so now am thinking that the theif has obviously put in some other sim in my cell, but is still using google market place with my email address.
what i want to ask all of you is that is there ANY GOD DAMN POSSIBLE WAY that i can trace the mobile number of the person using my cell? i dont want the GPS tracking as in pakistan GPS will only tell me an approximate location.
please help me!

Don't know about tracing the phone number (maybe the police can help with that?) - but Plan B might be able to help you locate it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en
And, yea, this should probably be posted in General or Q&A...

Hi I would like to make my phone anonymous when i connect to wifi. I would like to use internet in my work but i dont want anyone to know who is this. I also would like to use utorrent on android. So when I connect to my wifi hotspot at home I have all informations about my phone, like name (HTC), some numbers etc. There is also possible to gain for example my google account name? Or more informations? How to make phone complete anonymous? For example that administrator of the network will think that i use computer.
really no one? :/
It's not that there is no answer, but by the question it looks like you won't understand the answers to your question even if given them. If I tell you that you can change your hostname, but it won't help you since if any sysadmin will want to know who you are - he'll easily track you by your MAC address, will you know what I'm talking about?
So, the answer is - no, if sysadmin wants to know who you are - you can't hide, he can just know your MAC and physically check all devices until he finds the one, or just blacklists it and you won't have access anymore. But there is no "informations about your phone" that anyone sees, besides what the phone is broadcasting as a part of various network protocols (like hostname).
Yes i know what are you talking about. So he can see only my hostname and MAC address? For example when I use conectify software the program see me like a HTC and there is also a logo of HTC. So i understand that by MAC address he can not know what device it is? Maybe only the wireless card manufacturer. I only do not want that he will know that this device is a phone.

I think there's a solution: pDroid.

MAC address discloses device manufacturer. You can for example look this up on a site like this: http://hwaddress.com/
So it would be safe to clone a PC MAC address if possible.
There is chance to change MAC address in HTC?
I dont know if pdroid is what i need but however it works only with CM10, am I right?
PDroid doesn't help at all. It blocks data from applications, it doesn't and can't do a thing with low level OS drivers.
You can most likely spoof a MAC address, if you dig deep - you'll probably find a way to do it. But again, it won't help you. If your sysadmin will be determined to find you - he will find you, and if he's not - you can just use the phone "as is".
I happen to find a software that i believe was call "ANDROID LANGUAGE PLATFORM" at least that's what i thought it was called. I can not find it anywhere after my hard drive crashed. Anyone know what im talking about? When you hook up your phone it tell you what it is, what OS you are running, available to change IMEI numbers if allowed, boot screen options. If anyone knows that name or where i can download this amazing software again would be much appreciated.

If the app can change the IMEI then you will not find it here as doing so is illegal in many places and not allowed on XDA.
TLDR: "Blocked by IT Admin" message and I don't know why.
Hello I've just had a really random issue while installing an Apk with the reason being something I've never encountered before, the message being "Blocked by IT Admin" this is not a work phone or have (to my knowledge) anything to tell it that there's an IT Admin governing it. I have installed many apks and have never run into an issue like this before (exception being the message saying to turn on unknown sources) and it's quite irritating. The device I'm using is a Samsung Galaxy S5 on android ver. 6.0.1, model is sm-g900a (at-t model). If anyone has a bloody clue how to remedy this issue or any insight, feel free to respond. (I just learned I cannot post an external link because of the new user, I'm trying to install a Starfinder character creation application someone is working on. Screenshot or link available if asked.)
Resolved
I have fixed the issue, it may have been an application that was stopping it (I don't know why it might have) but if someone could close this thread that would be much appreciated.
