Play Store vulnerability.

I recently was thinking about something, I decided to test it out.
On the Play Store app, you can choose to add a pin number, and make this pin be required to make purchases.
This is a good idea, as we don't want anyone charging our credit cards or carrier bills if our device gets lost/stolen.
However, there is a flaw in this. The aforementioned pin number is stored locally on the device, whilst the credit card info is connected to your google account, and obviously your carrier billing options are stored online.
All someone has to do to be able to make purchases on a supposed secure play store is go to Settings>Applications>All>Google Play Store and click clear data. No more pin.

The fix to this would obviously be that google have the pin be connected to your google account, instead of stored locally on the device.
Reported to Google. PLEASE STAR THE ISSUE! Will help it get to the people that can fix the problem!

Good find man! Definitely opens up my eyes, as my little brother has a phone with my google account on it, because of all the apps I've bought-en, and I enabled the pin feature on it.

Wow... way to drop the ball on that one google!!!

Yeah. Not sure they've ever thought of it or not.

What?I haven't made any purchases yet, but my friends come to me on some days and they could buy paid apps.This must be fixed soon.

I notice this a lot when I update my ROM. Because it doesn't come packaged with gapps (well it wouldn't, it's illegal to do that), the data gets cleared when you reinstall the play store, thus no more pin. As I update daily, I never have the pin for more than one day, which is a major security flaw IMO

Indeed Maybe Google needs to be informed of this!

Thanks guys, added that in a comment on the google code page.

Actually, I believe that function is more of a "Child Lock". The screen lock/wipe is supposedly what prevents stolen phones from being used. In most cases, someone that usually knows your password (Of course, adb enabled phones can have their screen lock disabled). That's usually your kids that use your phone for games, watching videos, etc. That's what the pin is for - blocking them from downloading paid stuff without your knowledge. I suppose Google doesn't think that they would be the ones who will be hacking your phone, and of course, not be the ones who steal your phone.

Just added a link to the google support issue page in a few of my newer videos, and in a few of my most popular videos!

We need to get this big, it needs as many people as possible to star it. We really need to get this on the portal and everywhere else

Thanks, but PoorCollegeGuy already wrote it up. I send him stuff as soon as I see it, or in this case, when I wrote it. Article is already on the Portal.
Have yet to see other sites pick it up however.

Any way to disable front camera?

Is there any way to disable the facing camera?
Any toogle switch for that as Xposed module or App?

Why do you want to disable it?

Why do you need to disable it you can just simply don't use it.

Because i want to?! Actually no need to explain why.
I want it!.....if possible.
But ok.....I feel uncomfortable if a camera always watches me
It is like on my Laptop. I have disabled it in the Hardware Settings. If i need it i'll enable it.
And don't tell me you've never heard about webcam fraud.

I want the moderator to ban me.

Just stick a black piece of tape into it.
Or disassemble the phone and put the tape behind the glass.
You're gonna regret it, Snapchat is the new trend...

In the case that i really wanna use it it would be too complicated.
I was also thinkin about that.....Till now i have no use of Snapchat.
And i think that will last for a while. I am not the Hardcore chatter.

I'd use a black marker - maybe even a permanent one, if you wish.

Also an idea. But still i would prefere a software based solution if possible.

If software can disable the camera then software can enable to camera. If there is a way to disable the camera with software then a good hack can enable the camera.

Google might be buddies with the NSA but I highly doubt the front camera is watching you
Besides, I'd be more worried about them secretly tracking you using GPS, Wifi or cell tower triangulation

Not if you do not have administration rights and can handle this somehow in that way. Damit i'm rooted.
But switch as a widget or something can show if it is active or something.

I know i can't be 100% save. And it also not only against google.
It is also against all the other Apps which want your contacts and all other data which they want but which is not nesessary for an App to work.
I'm already restricting a lot with XPrivacy.
And from the Aluminuim Helmet i am still far away
But the useless collection of data annoys me.
Actually i have nothing to hide.
But i do it out of protest. And because i do not need most of the features which track me, give me advertising and other Bull****. I like it minimal (maybe i should buy not a smartphone, but without that i cant be on XDA ^^)
But it is not you who decides if you have something to hide or not. I even do not use Payback cards

I do actually agree with you
I also hate how we're treated as "products" by companies these days.... Facebook, Google, you name it. They exist to monetise their users and their personal information.
Like you I block a lot of apps from accessing my data and location etc... but I think you're out of luck with the camera other than using some tape!

The price for "Everything is Free" mentality. I even do not have a paid choice in this case ^^
And often i can not live without them anymore. Too used to these damn things. The strategy worked.
But i closed down my Gmail account. Now i use a russian provider:laugh::laugh::laugh:
And we are not treated as products. In the view of Google, Facebook and so on we are products.
Every product has some kind of properties. These properties are used to make personalized advertisement
So they want to sell me things which i never bought till now. For me this PA thing never worked. Ok i'm trying to avoid it is far as possible

[TUT] How to bypass FRP (verify your account) on LG V10 running Nougat

​
Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. Starting with Android Lollipop, FRP is "standard" in vanilla Android, and most companies making our phones have implemented it in their own models. It's a good thing — it makes a stolen phone harder to use, which makes it less appealing to thieves, and anything that can protect our data on a phone we've lost is welcome.
The problem is that people are selling or trading or even giving away phones with FRP enabled and this makes things difficult for the next user.
I found myself in this predicament recently having purchased a used LG V10 and, being in a rush, I flashed a factory KDZ on the device. Needless to say, I could do nothing with the phone once I rebooted - I was stuck on the proverbial "Verify your account" prompt.
If you reset a phone with FRP enabled, you have to provide the user name and password for the last Google account that was registered with the device. There are tons of random work-arounds on the Internet, but they tend to get patched almost as soon as they are discovered. You'll pretty much need to know the login details for the last account to use the phone before you can do anything with it if FRP was enabled before you reset it.
A quick XDA search turns up some 13000+ hits pertaining to "frp v10 verify account" and it takes time to try them all. The truth is that most were exploits geared for Android versions prior to Nougat and, even those which claimed to fix the problem for Android 7 no longer worked due to changes LG likely made between the 30B and 30C updates.
To make a long story short I finally found one method that worked. I got the device back and fully functional. Although I have only tried this on the 901H (T-Mobile variant) it may well work on any V10 running LG's version of Nougat (30C). If you try it and it fails or works you should let people know which variant and how you made out.
The solution for the V10 devices is documented in this video.
The ADB command line used is in the comments of the video but for ease of use this is it:
Code:
adb shell content insert --uri co-ntent://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
If you have another method that you have tried and know works on this specific device, by all means, do tell.
It is nice to have the device I legitimately bought working again!

If your V10 is running the 30C version of Nougat I have not found another working method. With other versions of Android there may be more choices.

I grp bypassed my verizon lg g7 thinq through an exploit using wifi with a dead sim card. I basically found a way through youtube and google settings and i never once used any kind of downloaded app. Im on 9.0 pie. This was acheived about 15 minutes ago. It took 5 days to get it. But if you get at me tomorrow I will share what I did through step bu step instructions.

Wipe device if a specific unlock code is entered?

So, my country have absolutely lost their minds after 6 years of hard-right power. Privacy is dead.
I am looking for a way to set up an android device such that if a specific unlock pin is entered, it will immediately wipe internal storage + SD card.
I have tried tools like Cerberus App etc, which is great once someone has your device and is gone - you can do a lot of things remotely or via SMS but I am looking for a solution that will work in person with the goons standing over you.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
See article below for reference.

There was a time I wanted to visit Australia.
That time is gone... they've went nuts and freedom is history now.
I would encrypt to internal memory and SD card.
A better idea might be to stash the data in the cloud. Swallow the SD card... getting the hell out of there seems like the best plan.

You are right, and it just gets worse every day. We're like the petri dish for NWO/WEF BS - they try everything here first to see how the people will react.
I'm not opposed to just leaving my phone behind and buying a temporary device to use whilst overseas. To be honest this seems like the best solution, but I would dearly love to provide the unlock code for my device and watch their faces as it does a HCF and they can no longer creep on my photos and conversations.

Question No "mi unlock status" present

Hello, I'm trying to root my Xiaomi Black Shark 4 (SHARK PRS-H0), I unlocked developer options, OEM unlocking and USB debugging, when I try to use miflash unlock tool on pc, it tells me I need to add device in developer options > mi unlock status, but when I go to developer options, an option called "mi unlock status" isn't present at all. So far, digging in XDA threads, I discovered that one of the reasons may be unofficial ROM, but the problem is, there's no official ROM for Black Shark 4 or any Black Shark on Xiaomi website and even if there was, I couldn't flash it since it requires "mi unlock status". I tried different approaches too, sent phone to fastboot with ADB, then used fastboot flashing unlock command, but it returns "FAILED (remote: unknown command)" output, none of the fixes I searched for helped. Tried official ADB, USB drivers, removing screen lock completely, no luck. Then I tried fastboot oem unlock command and it sends me "FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device)" output and it reboots my phone into fastboot mode again. Never had such problem, there was always an option out, but now I really don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Update, I downloaded an unofficial Xiaomi hidden settings app from play store, it seems it can detect the "mi unlock status" option, even tho it's not listed in developer options, so I guess it's hidden. Tried to run task from the hidden settings app but it says task cannot be run. Any ideas on how to cheese my way through it?

im having the exactly same issue i cannot find the Mi unlock status anywhere plz help

I contacted Black Shark support about this, I asked them to help me unhide the "mi unlock status" setting and make it usable, they replied with this:

To which I replied with this:

Basically, it seems a common occurrence that customers find Black Shark support team incompetent and rude. I experienced it myself, as I was hit with "naaah bruh, I don't care" kind of reply from them and after I replied they were obliged to, they never gave answer back. Now I sent mail to Xiaomi support, since they have better name among customers. Everyone says Black Shark support are quoting "arrogant idiots" while Xiaomi support is again quoting "passionate" about helping customers and providing details. I experienced the first one, now I hope Xiaomi support will address this issue as people say they do, because if not, then I'm almost tempted to file a case against them concerning the violation of GNU GPL so that they completely lose access to Linux kernel. Then they can say goodbye to Android and all the bootloader hard locks.

It actually doesn't cost money. All that needs to be done is to address exactly what's being violated and send mail about it to the Free Software Foundation. I'm exchanging mails back and forth with Xiaomi global support. If they don't help, I'll be forced to move onto addressing FSF concerning this matter

I completely agree with Cyborg Hawk. It is very un-Linux to block bootloader unlocking. We own our device. They refuse to provide ROMs and kernel sources. It is something that needs to change...
BTW, I have Black Shark 5. I am unable to find anything regarding this phone and I see there is a history with this Black Shark series. Really a shame. The phone could be great if I could root it and adjust the cpu scheduler and other possible tweeks. My phone reboots at random and if rooted I could easily get logs to hunt down the problem.

any solution ?
