How/where do u change your phone's identity from apps? - General Questions and Answers

I did a factory reset yet a certain app still recognizes me, so can't be the device ID it sees, I'm guessing (I'd also like to know if that number is changable in a .prop file somewhere, I didn't see it in build.prop). My other guess is the IMEI number that's saved in the phone, even though it has no sim card anymore, but I don't know how/where to change that. Any other IDs that apps can use to recognize a phone? I'm running Oreo 8.1.
Edit: My phone is Qualcomm based, not MTK, which there's a bunch of apps out there that can change the IEMI on MTK phones.

It isn't legal to change IMEI , he isn't responsible for this , look into your Google account settings , maybe your app still recognize you because of that .

im not worried about the legal end of things, and ill double check my phone in a few minutes, but im pretty sure it doesn't use the same google play account that is associated with that phone. And I was reading about how you cna use Xposed to spoof your iemi temporarily, might look into that.

Depending on the country it is illegal to change your imei. In some countries you can be arrested just for omhaving the tools to do so.

Yeah, we don't discuss imei altering on xda.

Blizzard launches Mobile Authenticator for ANDROID

You may have heard that blizzard released their mobile authenticator for android via the android market.
Now the thing i was wondering is where serial is stored.
In the java emulator it was stored in a xxxx.db file, and in iphone in an xml file,
correct me if i'm wrong though.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Serial>US-1234-5678-9123</Serial>
<Token>AQIDBAUGBwgJCgsMDQ4PEBESExQ=</Token>
<TimeDifference>-631</TimeDifference>
</Authenticator>
or this is perhaps an xml file to compile it for iphone/touch,
anyway, there is (or has to be) a way to change the serial , i've been looking in every xml or db file on my G2 but no succes yet, perhaps anyone else have found something?
I've encountered some difficulties with using the Blizzard Mobile Authenticator on my rooted handset. Seems it treats mine differently to a non-rooted handset and can be unusable. I've reported the problems on the official WoW forums here.
Regarding changing the serial code, why is this ever necessary? You can view it through the applications controls should you ever need to look it up. And you can always replace the authenticator on your account.
high class problem... i dont know it

Haha, I answered my own question yesterday. Forgot to unlink my phone from my account before wiping it for a ROM update, and had to call Blizzard for help. It's lucky I had my original serial code written down. I can now see the value in being able to cause a fresh authenticator to behave like an older one.
This is something that has been talked about on another thread over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557862
But from what I have been able to get, the data is stored in the file:
/data/data/com.blizzard.bma/shared_prefs/com.blizzard.bma.AUTH_STORE.xml
Now, how the token file is encoded... I can't say. Haven't gotten to that part yet.

dont mean to bring up a super old thread, but i couldnt find any answers (the post linked here shows how to read the serial from file, but not how to make it persistant or change it to something else) (sorry if its preferred to make a new thread to ask the question, seems like every forum prefers a different method, and this one seemed to be pretty spot on for what i was wondering)
I wanna try out different roms but keep the serial persistant. I could on my iphone by backing up the authenticator in itunes.
but even backing up app+data in titanium back up leaves me with a different serial.
Is there any way to get a backup with a persistant serial in it? I really dont want to leave my account unsecured, I dont want to have to carry around an extra keychain but im not going to deattach and reattach the authenticator every time i want to flash a rom.

[Q] Android Device ID questions

I have a game that locks its save file to your android device ID. This is fine and good until you factory reset your phone or install a ROM and your hard work it lost due to the ID change.
Now, I am aware you can change your ID. But I would like a little clarification first..
If I use GTalk on my dialer I get say this ID: (*#*#8255#*#*)
200*********** etc..
But is a use an app I grabbed from the play store called Change Android ID *Root I get a completely different result.. So are they both reporting different ID's or is one wrong?
Also, what harm can be done changing your ID and is it safe to post your ID on say a forum?
Thank you for any help given.

My S4 was stolen, I'm disappointed with Android Device Manager and Samsung FMM

My S4 was stolen, I'm disappointed with Android Device Manager and Samsung FInd My Mobile.
No way I'm sure why can't find my S4 neither service can contact it, I assume they (the thief) do a hard reset and switched SIM card, no way I can confirm the wipe commands I Sent where achieved.
So I now changed every password

That is sad to hear.
Thats why no company uses lockdown software. Now you are forced to buy new handset from them. Its only their win.
Only security they work on is to force no software changes by the buyer but not the thief.
Good sales point for iOS if I block an iPhone from iTunes acc, no way it can be reactivated w/o my account consent.

Rwgister a complaint with the police. IMEI tracking is possible.
My friend was mugged and the crook was caught a couple of months later using IMEI tracking.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
This feature relies on WiFi/Mobile data. May be the thief turned off the data.
Not sure about that. You can reset the phone with a sms. So I guess it doesn't rely on mobile data alone.
I don't know which features the op enabled, so everything is unclear. Maybe the thief just turned off the phone and waits until the owner gives up.
Is there any software capable of installing itself into /system and working after system reset in hidden mode?
+ taking photos with front cam (only if "stolen") and uploading them somewhere?
+ store those photos in /system (so no gallery can show those photos)
Or better - be installed right into bootloader/(and|or)kernel?

have you used an app called Android Lost, i like this one
If I take your phone and immediately remove the SIM card and immediately flash / wipe a new rom - no way to track it by the Samsung software... (by the way - even it is very easy to change the IMEI ). So, the only option is to send the SMS wipe command before the phone is reflashed

Easy to change imei? Please, make proof-of-concept.

With root and Terminal Emulator you can change IMEI but I'm not sure that giving proof is a good thing to do on XDA!
BTW sorry OP... I don't care about Samsung or Google tools because after several tests I also deduced that they are useless.

Point is if you do a hard reset everything gets wiped and the thief has a brand new phone to use. The user who lost it cant find it by imei via samsung.
I also wonder why we are not able to set a password in recovery mode (like a bios for pc would allow us).
I both registered , activated and tested Google ADM and Samsung FMM , I hoped both being similar to Apple's Activation Lock, but isn't its very easy for thieves to overcome just doing a hard reset thru boot loader.
Also the Imei at police I was informed that mafias have IMEI repair tools that in fact are service tools for repair centers but capables to change the Imei number, so is very possible my S4 now lies on a new box with new accessories and new imei and is being sell as an new s4 w/o complaints neither evidence was stolen.
Big issue here
Samsung's introducing consumer-centric features for Knox with the N3. It includes the abilitiy to prevent wiping the device. You can also hide your porn in a seperate secure container that only the phone owner has access to. The SGS4 h/w as it relates to Knox should be the same so hopefully the 4.3 update will push the functionality to the SGS4.
From the N3 press release...
The new GALAXY Note 3 comes with enhanced privacy and security protection provided by Samsung KNOX. Users can activate Samsung KNOX with ease which allows them to run and store security- sensitive applications and data inside a protected execution environment called “container.” The security inside the container is strengthened by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX against malware and phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on physical devices when devices are stolen or lost. For instance, important personal pictures or video can be stored in the container with no worries for data leakage due to hacking. In addition, users may choose to store enterprise applications and data such as corporate email, contacts and calendar and allow the IT department to manage the container through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make the GALAXY Note 3 an ideal device for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work)
Furthermore, the GALAXY Note 3 is equipped with an improved Find My Mobile feature that allows users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost. With the enhanced user authentication, the technology prevents stolen mobile phones from being reset to factory settings, and allows users to remotely track or erase the data from their lost or stolen mobile phones.​
Any news on this regarding the S4? Does the new 4.3 firmware prevent hard-reseting the phone?

Faking a phone number in Android x86/RemixOS...Is it possible?

I'm wondering if this is possible. Some apps want you to have a phone number setup in order to register. Is there a way to fake a phone number in either version of Android so an app thinks it is a real number?

The issue is, say with Pulse Messenger, it doesnt see that my install has a phone number at all, so I cannot register for it.
Thing is, you need be able to receive text messages on this fake number so it can't be fake at all. That would defeat the entire purpose of number verification (making sure you actually own it to prevent abuse). There could still be a way but I have a feeling that the way to obtain it - if at all possible - is not something that should be discussed on XDA.
May I ask why you have a problem sharing your real number with these apps? If it's about privacy implications, you have much more to worry about when installing these type of apps

Security Issues. a must see and read

Okay so ive been battling this for sometime. I'm starting to get a little more knowledgeable but still don't know what to do with all this.I experienced this first back in 2015 then I completely made a switch. Well now I'm back to same issues.
The problems I'm experiencing is it's happening on all the devices I have. The phone I'm on now bought brand new from metropcs. and not even a day 30minutes later I get an update for the phone. I new not to install or download. But it inventively did. Now it's sitting on my storage wanting me to move files to root.
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR. NON OF MY DEVICES ARE ROOTED.
to make this short. My devices seem to have a Bluetooth admin. And connects to any Bluetooth device without me knowing.
So far from what I see chromium and stage fright is a big part of what I'm seeing.
I'm attaching some pictures to give more detail look. And it's not just my Android devices it's my Xbox one S as well.
looking to completely remove. I'm not trying to waste money on switching networks or completly going Mia.
Fast responses please.

I'm no expert but I'm struggling to see your exact issue you seem to think you have, is it just t your Bluetooth is switching on. All those licences, security certs, file locations etc look normal to me (without checking numbers or being able to compare to same phone os etc) though I have disabled many of those certs eg the Turkish ones etc & my Bluetooth files are different but I can find ref hill those locations online eg Xieomi phones
You appear to have a ZTE, please give model number and current OS & rev (must be stock I suppose). ZTE was found with a backdoor in older phones, sending data to China, so it's possible, & some Chinese phones also update their apps without notification. But as you say your whole network appears compromised so the source may be something else, like your router/modem, or Bluetooth as you think (though some apps require Bluetooth admin permission legitimately, you can disable it as an Admin). Tell us what behaviors you are seeing that you believe are malicious. New phone update soon after you turn on is quite common, as I'm sure you know.
When I had a quick look at your log it did have a lot of activity going to the US DOD, would you expect this, as well as the usual google & Facebook connections. Though (perhaps) strangely also to a server from a small marketing company here in Australia, but I'm no expert even if I looked at your log line by line I wouldn't understand it all.
Ref his other post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/security-global-family-credientals-t3665851
Things to try. Run a reputable antivirus. Boot into safe mode, so only system apps run, is it still happening? Can you turn off anything that is listed as a device admin? Try run a root checker app. Even if it all comes back negative you may still have a problem as a port may already have been opened and malicious app self deleted or something. Use an app like Fing to see if any device you don't recognise are connected to your network.
You may be able to block some activity if it's not going through root with a firewall eg NetGuard no root firewall, start with everything blocked.
Above are just some general hints, without knowing specifics I can only suggest you backup any stuff you want to keep then factory reset everything & change ALL passwords to strong ones (no good just adding a number on the end of your old ones!), better still reflash all firmware (updates if available) to overwrite everything. This incl your internet access points eg router, and only reconnect to the net/networks after you have done them all (one at a time preferably then you may be able to identify source of problems)
That turned out a lot longer than I intended!

I don't have that phone so can't really tell what is a suspect app or not, especially just from screen shots.
Here use this app to run on demand scans against the virustotal database (this is not an "antivirus app" like Avast so offers no protection, it only scans apps on demand, so you should run a good antivirus also)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funnycat.virustotal
it should flag any suspect apps and you can submit any unknown ones you are worried about.

sometimes virustotal will have 2 or 3 antiivirus companies flag a file, these are probably false positives so probably nothing to worry about (though could just be a new submission, other companies should soon update if real malicious code, check back in a day or two). If lots of companies flag an apk then you haven a problem.
It looks like you have a problem whit overlays (unless it's an app your phone company installs for that function, not sure what you mean). You should install a proper antivirus app like Avast, malwarebytes etc as a first step, hopefully it can remove malicious apk

Doesn't matter, encrypting phone only protects unauthorised access to your data. Once it is unlocked anyone can view your stuff. And once a malicious app is on your system it can shall read all your data even if you had encrypted it as it's unencrypted when you use it

Now I'm not stupid, this is facts. I just need defined and solution!!!
No these are normal library files. Stagefright "the malicious exploits" were called this as it was the stagefright framework it exploited. Everyone has these files, here are mine below.
You need to use tools like antivirus to identify bad files but even that is no guarantee as there is the possibility the original malicious file could have self deleted and, for example, just left open ports which would not be found as a "virus" but still allow remote access to your device.
If you cannot identify the actual exploit on your phone then the best solution is probably to just reflash the stock rom as this will wipe & overwrite everything. But if a malicious file is left on your SD card or another networked device you could soon be infected/compromised again. That is why I said before if you can't identify the source of your infection you really need to factory reset or reinstall all OS on all devices affected including your home router etc (or maybe it's your work or public network) and change all passwords.

No these are normal library files. Stagefright "the malicious exploits" were called this as it was the stagefright framework it exploited. Everyone has these files, here are mine below.
You need to use tools like antivirus to identify bad files but even that is no guarantee as there is the possibility the original malicious file could have self deleted and, for example, just left open ports which would not be found as a "virus" but still allow remote access to your device.
If you cannot identify the actual exploit on your phone then the best solution is probably to just reflash the stock rom as this will wipe & overwrite everything. But if a malicious file is left on your SD card or another networked device you could soon be infected/compromised again.

I'm on a video bridge network I got the direct TV setup with 2 wireless setups. Both secure from what I know.

I'm no coding/security guru, but I have worked on telecoms, military electronics, etc but my coding & network security knowledge is limited.
I would run this app Fing to check your local network, are there any unknown devices connected?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.overlook.android.fing
note: this only finds currently connected devices, so you'd want to do this several times & especially when you see suspect behavior.
Also check for open ports, easiest way is probably this site, it will scan the first 1000 ports or so (select all)
https://www.grc.com/
go to shields up
but you really need to scan ALL possible ports with a tool like Zenmap (for PC) if you think you are compromised
https://nmap.org/zenmap/
However it's not clear to me if you ever installed a proper antivirus and whether it found and deleted anything? Virustotal seemed to find some suspect apks, I had a quick look at Trendmicro database but it didn't list details of the one it found in your screenshot, but the fact some of those antivirus companies called the suspect apk names with "joke" in it may suggest it's just a joke app your mate has installed, though probably not a joke app if your other devices are really also compromised, from memory there is also real malware with that name which may be able to infect other devices. Running a proper antivirus should easily find and clean any "joke" app on your phone & hopefully any real malware. If you've done this and still seeing indications you are compromised then do what I suggested above. (Also repeat malware checks on other devices and removable storage media)
You should also log into your router as admin and check settings, are you using a secure router password? Is firmware up to date. Is firewall set up correctly? Also close any open ports that you don't use. Turn off remote admin, if router has it. Etc etc what do your router logs show (turn on more detailed logging if necessary) Factory reset or reinstall firmware if you think changes have been made to your router by someone else.
Hi I am having same issues. Exact same behaviors regardless of new phones new carrier and all accounts being unconnected in name. Google etc. This is extreme. Its via bluetooth I agree something with esims or virtual sims for use of wifi access and or signal piracy for media. The DOD files are also something I am familier with seeing. Code Aurora was also a govt project way back. Its Interesting thst I have Verizon files loading on at & t phones and sprint loading on Verizon. Whatever this is has managed to infiltrate my computers as well. Its relentless. Its impressive and sophisticated. Please please help.

I'm having the same issmy ues. Did anyone ever resolve or figure out what is happening? I think I'm under investigation by the DOD and they own my devices. My uploads/downloads are blocked, internet searches filtered, pics/screenshots of evidence deleted off my phone, etc.
