IIWPO: Theft protection in ROM for Himalaya

(Re-published due to forum structure change)
Based of the IIWPO solution initially meant for Wallaby devices (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2526), I created a customizable installer for Himalaya:
See the Wiki page on IIWPO
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/IIWPO
Hopefully IIWPO suprises a lot of thiefs!!!!!

This is way too cool! I really love this software. I hope never to have to rely on it but just to know its there will make me sleep better. Thanks.

Wow!
The link doesn't work, but... there is or could you do something like that for the PDA2K?
Thanks!
Chris

Edsub,
I am wondering if the already excellent IIWPO could be further enhanced by a simple but witty add-on. I am imagining the capability to receive a Kill-Signal via SMS. If all attemps to recover the phone fails because the person who holds it has not put in a full & proper owner name + address we still have a phone number right? Therefore we can send an SMS to the phone at will. If IIWPO listens for a specific sms subject line then we could instruct it to disable the phone in some fashion that can be reversed and display a message to this end "tell" the thief to return the phone no questions asked etc. If still no luck then we could send a signal forever killing the phone. Am I watching too many spy movies? ;-)
Hope you like the idea. Sounds fun to me. Regards

I like the idea :twisted: , but since am not a CE developer (and I did not develop IIWPO either, just put the parts that were there together for use on a Himalaya) I have no idea whether or not this is possible.
Maybe any of the real xda-developers see a possibility here :?:

This is possible, and was used on an HP Jornado 928 ...
On this handset, a simple SMS containing a specific codeword or PIN would 'lock' the handset so that it could not be used. Quite useful and as far as I know unique to the HP Jornado 928.
Anyone know any different ?
Cheers
Mark

wow!! this would be great for the PPC! ive tried something like this in my symbian NOKIA 6600! and its very useful!! if you change the sim the phone will automatically send a message to your predefined numbers containing some info on the current location of your phone... and if you send a code to it thru SMS it will lock up and it cant be used unless you flash it or something.. i bet the PPC version is even greater!! cant wait for a full version!

im using a 7610 nokia n was wondering wat is the software ur using for ur nokia 6600 thanks

I would like the facility to electrocute the new "owner" through the ear when he makes a call, 50,000 volts would be fine. Or maybe a spring bolt that would activate and shatter his jaw.

Perhaps the local police station...

My wife lost her handphone to some dishonest fella who picks it up and perhaps remove the SIM/off the HP.
Perhaps we can have it SMS your selected police station on startup and replay an SMS with your customised message:
"Yeah baby! I've stolen this handphone and there is NOTHING that you bloody incompetent slobs can do about it! <vulgarities applied here>!"
<repeat 100 times>
In my country, we can have different numbers for neighbourhood police post. The SMS will be repeated as a robotic voice message to the LAND phone as well.
I can at least ensure that the message does not go into a generic 911 number. :twisted:

[new release] VJSMSSender Class 0 SMS

Guys, this is just to fill a request on my website
It is used to send a Class 0 SMS. It's used in exactly the same way as VJSMSSender from VJPhoneTools.
Class 0 SMS, for those who don't know, is an SMS that is sent directly to the recipient's phone and will appear immediately on the screen, without requiring the recipient to go into the Inbox. Also, the SMS is not saved in the inbox, so there is no trace of it on the phone.
Great for illicit affairs!
Please use it responsibily, I don't know if there are any special rules about Class 0 SMS, but if there are any objections I'll remove it.
Check it out on my website
V

Hi Vijay,
another fine release.. )))
THANX mate.
How you do them all ??? ))))
BTW, why would you remove it from your website?? Flash SMS is perfectly legal AFAIK.
THANX

I'm sure it is legal, but it's quite scary how it works! I love it, I'll be freaking out all of my friends... oh, what friends :shock: too much programming!

Yes that would be a great idea if it could be done.
vijay555 is this possible ?
TraumaTiger

Hum, how do i run this app? command line how? Can someone explain thanks.

q-biq:
download and install VJPhoneTools
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneTools
and check out the page for instructions on how to use VJSMSSender.
Then, the class 0 prog works in exactly the same way as VJSMSSender.
Use GSFinder etc to make appropriate shortcuts, or use a today launcher like cLaunch etc.
TraumaTiger/Chatty: I think I could write an SMS spoofer, but I don't think it's wise. I will try to write it anyway for the fun of it (!) and tell you if it works...
V

oh koool. workin great, but do i need to change the shortcut evry time i need to send to a new phonenumber? takes to long time hehe..
and how have you created the icons on the top so i can send from there?

Once again..
VJ its possible to send to more than one recipient at the same time ?
thank you

q-biq: yep, the shortcut needs to be changed each time. It's more for use on a today screen: it was requested that you could eg send a msg to your wife on the way home with no key presses etc. VJSMS still requires you to press send, while VJSMSSender sends it straight off, so yes, it has to be manually configures each time.
More that that and it would have to work like a replacement for the inbox, and that's not what it's for (right now! perhaps in the future).
fcaeiro: no, I'm afraid VJSMSSender doesn't have a CC feature. I could try to look into it a some point, but I haven't thought about it right now...too busy coding other stuff! :shock:
V

It's definately possible to spoof the sender ID - Siemens S25 tools offered it already (if you remember that old handset).

can you explain howto spoof id??

SMS ID spoofing is easy enough in theory. I will try to write it, and if it works, I'll take feedback on whether it deserves releasing. But let me write it first

With Vodafone.se you can just put a -A- in the begining of the sms to hide your number.

Great job, some very useful tweaks added.

excellent - just what i was looking for..
keep the good work up!
thanks

its got the bypass certification built in when you select unlock extended_ROM.
Can now edit config.txt to add a cab that auto-install protection software (eye on thief, with my config.ini) to send me wife the thief's phone no.

Hey BongoUser,
Great tool - many thanks.
One suggestion regarding Wifi:
I understand that the TyTN uses WiFi only at a rate of 11Mbit. A modification of the registry entry dot11DesiredTxRate from 0 to 13 will increase the speed to 54MBit/s.
Have not tested yet if this change will then allow operation in 54Mbit range only but I presume that also the slower networks are ok.
Maybe worth adding to the tool.
All the best,
StonyA

Hi BongoUser,
really great job !
Here a suggestion for a future update of your software, which should be fairly easy to implement:
An option to swap the HTTP User Agent in the Registry and afterwards have swap it back again to the TyTN default value.
The HTTP User Agent can be found as a Registry key (don't know it by heart at the moment; can drop you a line if you'd need that information) and allows you mimic your device for webservers checking this value as an other device, e.g. a Nokia phone
Apart from just making fun of this function there is also a practical use in some cases, in fact where a webserver checks the value for either oresenting a different screen resolution or switching to WAP mode (note: some Nokia phones just have a very poor screen resolution or even cannot present real http pages).
In some cases WAP pages are of advantage versus real http webpages because their size is smaller, e.g. when just retrieving pure information.
While there are surely more "sophisticated" (and probably also complex !) ways for upgrading the Hermes Tweaker I think this one would be swiftly implemented.

However I have found something strange with it.
I disabled the CommManager from the taskbar and suddenly the battery icon is disabled as well.

Very sorry to be so stupid !!! But I confess that I don't really understand what mean "Extended Rom" ?
Does it mean that I can use a part of this "extended rom" as a space ram to softs ?
What does it mean if I select "Mount Ext Rom" and "Unlock Ext Rom" ?
Thanks to be indulgent.

It means the space where you can find the CAB Files from Orange or O2.
It will be installed after every hardreset.
If you don't know what Ext Rom is, don't unlock it and don't mount it !

Is there anywhere else this can be obtained ?

Ultimate Theft Alert v35!: Free offer

Hello All,
This is NiCK Carty from www.PocketPC-Live.com and I was here in xda for a very long time at the Artemis and Kaiser sections serving the community, even released a couple of slim Roms for Artemis (HTC P3300). Now that I have got myself a new HTC Athena (dopod U1000) after being impressed by the processor 624 Mhz Intel, I will enter this section now.
My first impressions on the device, it's damn good, probably better option to those who look for a UMPC.
As a welcome note, I would like to give 7 copies of my software Ultimate Theft Alert v35! (recently optimized for Athena under real VGA 128 dpi). The next 7 replies to this post will be eligible for the free offer. Download the trial version from here and mail me for Product keys.
I would love to hear your suggestions for my software.
Regards,
Carty..

Thanks Carty for your free gift. Will try it out tonight when I get some free time.
Edit: okay, installed it. It looks really really good. I like it better than WIMP if the monitoring integration can be installed.
I have a few questions.
1) I entered +614XXXXXXXX as my number to call when the phone is stolen, but it does not accept it. Why is this so? What if a SIM card of another country is inserted when we travel?
2) Often the top taskbar disappear. Do you have this problem? I also find that I'm unable to minimise it or switch to other applications when used in conjunction with wktask.
3) How do we make it possible for the problem to survive a hard reset?
4) How about letting the seven of us have the GPS and monitoring integration also? Or at least the monitoring integration. I like your concept of monitoring very much. I have been using WIMP in the past with GPS, but I find the GPS location to be too rough to be useful. I think the monitoring concept gives us much better chance of recovering the phone than WIMP would allow.
Fantastic application! Thanks again.

Replace + with 00. Eg: 00614XXX Try it and let me known. It is the issue with some service providers who dont accept the format of message sent with certain parameters.

The application is made to take the full screen hiding the Start bar. This is only when you're in the Admin panel making some configurations. So for a few minutes, you can sacrifice Start ar ?
Or do you think the application doesnt bring back Start bar even after closing?

Depending on in which country the phone is stolen, the international prefix is different. But + is the universally acceptable prefix to replace all these prefix. That's why I thought it would be the correct way to set up the number.
BTW, I tried testing it. Unfortunately it does not seem to be sending out any SMS alert to the listed mobile phone number when I put in a SIM card which has not been added to the database yet. Are any of the other six users having this problem?
Also, when I tried to set up the customized text, the software abended with an error message saying "An unexpected error has occured in UTAv35.exe. Select Quite and then restart this program, or select Details for more informaiton" . When I select Details, I see the following information:
UTAv35.exe
NullReferenceException
at UTAv35.Form1.Button19_Click()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick()
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick()
at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBasel.WnProc()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
at UTAv35.Form1.Main()
I wonder if this (the inability to set up customise text, hence it is blank) is the reason why no alert message was sent?

[APP][Updated 16.10] CallerUtility (look up unknown caller)

Greetings!
Just finished a working version of my new little neat utility which looks up an unknown caller (number among your contacts) with the norwegian service GuleSider.no (yellow pages directory service) and a page called telefonterror.no (lists known telemarketeers in Norway).
When there's a call from an unknown caller the program looks up in both directories and displays the information on top of the HTC-Answer-incoming-call-application.
The program will auto-start on boot and auto-appear when a call is made. As of 16.10 the program supports AppToDate and will be automatically updated by using this.
Please try it out, give me some feedback and buy me a cup of coffee if you like it

Sure, if you got a phone directory service which is easily available by doing simple http requests.
It's just to swap the HTML-parser with a new one...

Excellent idea!
Any chance - when you get chance of course - of a version/configuration for the UK?
*patiently waits*

Okey fellow developer guys (gals?):
I separated the HTML-parser from the from the project and to its own DLL.
If you would like to "contribute for your country" download the HtmlParserPlugin.zip, unzip and open in visual studio!
All the methods are static, so to make a test project you can just call the LookUpNumber with different types of numbers. If you need to format the number before sending it to the directory service use the StripNumberPrefix-method. Remember to check all outcomes, what if number is unknown to service, wrongly formatted etc etc.
If you only want to use one service just remove the calls to the second one from LookUpNumber.
You probably (not tested by me) can swap the DLL you're generating with the one in the application folder on your device, restart the app and hopefully it will work with your new parser Atleast that's the plan!
If you're satisfied with your own work, send your new DLL to me along with the source code and I will build a country specific version

Ah, great
Hopefully a dev will pickup the dutch-part.
*patiently waits*

Hei Audiophil.
Great idea. I haven´t got any idea how to make a version for the danish market.
But this provider http://www.krak.dk/ has a pretty good search engine.
