Rooting Danger - Will I get Rick Rolled?

I'm still sitting on the sideline about rooting, I plan to do it, I'm just trying to learn more before I do.
Is there any root password that needs to be changed like the iPhone? I want to avoid opening the door so someone can do this:

I didn't see any mention of this vulnerability in the CDMA Hero, maybe it's an iPhone only thing?

No worries. Nobody is going to rick roll your phone if it is rooted.
Here is how it works and why this won't happen on Android. When you have an application on your phone it runs as a certain username. This username has capabilities but not unlimited like root. It has limited abilities. Now, an app that needs root such as an overclocker or screenshot application trys to get root by issuing the su command. The rooted roms have a superuser permissions application that pops up if an application requires root. You have to allow or disallow it. Basically this means that if an app requests root and you didnt tell it to open then most likely you should disallow. Thereby eliminating the security issue. You tell which applications have root and which dont.

there is something similar on the modaco rom SSH is open does have a password tied to it.... but it's randomly generated.... that was the exploit as all their passwords were the same...that's how everyeone in austrailia got rick rolled :lawl:
it would be funny if paul put a rick roll app in this rom though for ****s and grins

The iPhone root method installs an SSH server with a default password allowing anyone to log into your phone remotely if you don't change the password.
First things first: the Hero root method does not install an SSH or telnet server so you can't log in remotely even with any password. The MoDaCo ROM does install an SSH server but it also creates a random password that cannot simply be guessed.
So no one will be logging into your phone.

Probably also worth note - if you don't want the SSH server on the MoDaCo ROM, you can remove it easily:
adb shell
$ su (if you're not already root)
# /system/bin/removedropbear.sh
Your phone will reboot, and no more SSH server.

LOL - Doh, I've been had!

Hahaha rickroll
how do you change the password on the modaco rom once your logged in via ssh, is it just # passwd, that didnt seem to be working for me? and is nano installed? I thought it was but # nano somefilenamehere is not working..
Thanks

Might it be the password that is listed in Settings --> About Phone --> Build Number ?
in that spot, I see my rom version (MoDaCo 1.1 etc) and right after the comma, SSH password: ( your own 6 digit password listed here)
Bet that's it! And no, I'm not listing mine as an example

Nano is installed, but it seems buggy to me, I can't seem to get it to write-out after editing for some reason.
As for the password, you can change it by modifying the file:
/data/dropbear/passwd
Unfortunately it's plaintext, but that does make it easier to change:
# echo 'newpassword' > /data/dropbear/passwd
# reboot

Cricket fascinate to Verizon

You will have to flash a verizon prl. Also make sure the settings in qpst revert back to verizon...especially the ppp configs. If it was properly flashed to cricket, flashing the modem alone won't do it. More them likely, all the settings will have to be corrected.

yep. you will need to enter all the VZN info that was removed to have it hooked up on cricket and you will also have to hope the phone isnt blacklisted on VZN's ESN list. if it is your friend will have a nice android MP3 player that he can play games on.

Yeah...typically phones that nice on cricket have bad esns

Is there a guide somewhere to putting all the VZN settings back in? And he said the guy said the ESN was good.

I'll check to see if I saved a file. Do you have a fascinate?
Don't have it anymore. But try grabbing and flashing this prl. Then *228 to see if it can activate. If it activates but you don't get net or mms, then let me know and I will walk you through it.

Ok...download the samsung drivers and a program called qpst. I hear Build 355 is out haven't had a chance to use that one but should be the same. Anyways, hook up your phone to qpst and switch it to dial up networking. Select add new port and find which port you hooked it up to. Name the port COMX (put the port # where x is). Under label name it usb. Hit enter then find the phone and click it. Then select service programming. Then go to the roam tab and then go down to the send file option select browse and locate the prl and then select flash to phone. Make sure it is a *prl and not a zip. Phone will reboot and then attempt *228. Im not infront of the computer but thats the gist. If you can't get it let me know and I will attempt a complete walkthrough. Im on my phone so it's a wee difficult.

Are you going back to vzw? If so, a *228 should fix it...if not let me know

after trying to port a rom from the epic, i realized that i forgot to remove their pst apps so it rewrote some values to my fascinate. calls/sms work but data only works sometimes and reboots the radio often. Im going to try flashing that prl file with qpst. if that doesnt work do you mind walking me through a possible way to fix data?

I would love to see a walkthrough on this ... i'm not really understanding how to get the dial-up networking to work since i cant even do anything but attempt to activate on roaming

Depending on what software you're on...dun can be accessed through the wirless network settings or **33284 ( Then enter spc 000000).
And actually I think I just figured out a simple way to get settings back to vzw. use qpst build 355 and input all the correct cdma info for verizon. And hit write to phone. The phones are prewired for three g only through vzw and that build of qpst will not be able to rewrite the settings so upon reboot the original vzw settings and password will reappear.

You can...it's just more work. And depending on the carrier, like sprint, requires you know someone that will add your flashed phone to the database. There are methods...but as they violate certain laws I cannot discuss on this forum. Since the fascinate is a verizon phone it's software is typically already hard wired for big red. So apn and nv values will revert upon incomplete programming. It's rather simple to flash a phone back to verizon.

[Q] To Root or Not to Root is Really NOT the question

I have been trying to operate under a No-Root standard consumer/noob mode and just keep running into walls.
All the advice on sideloading is irrelevant for most apps you'd want to run, like Skype, Opera, Firefox, and GoLauncher Task Manager. I can load the apps and get to the Install screen but am blocked there and have to cancel.
So I'm rooting. I saw a suggestion to keep the device in unroot mode until you need it, which sounded right.
I think the grail here is a non-root solution so users can customize the Ux, get rid of the lousy backgrounds Amazon puts up, and if sideloading is going to be allowed, truly let the user beware and let the sideloading begin.
What do you think? Hear Hear! or am I missing anything?

Rooting is trivial. Easy to do once you are setup with adb.
As to keeping non-root most of the time, that depends on if you use something that won't work while rooted, like VOD... In that case, you need to at least temp un-root and it will work (might need to close it first).
Otherwise, I see no real reason to run un-rooted after you have root.

i've successfully installed firefox with 'adb install' on my un-rooted kf. it runs with no issues thus far. i then tried to install adw launcher standalone from here. this also installs fine, but when i hold down the home button and choose adw i get a force close from adw. is this a dead end without root?

My ADW runs great with a backup I made from my phone with Astro

Rooting is trivial for folks like us but I'm not going to tell a noob to download the sdk, mod files, etc. It is just too much for the young mind to grasp. It's why iPod and iPads rule the day and why AOL lived as long as it did--people don't want to take the extra steps.
Anyway, if there were really straightforward ways to sideload and not get locked out and to clean up the Ux issues, then imo most folks would do the lightweight appstore based mods.

This is exactly the reason why I'm not sure I will root my Kindle. I rooted my Evo 4G and my Galaxy Tab, but I might leave the Kindle so I can USE it rather than configure it. Getting bored of trying to figure stuff out like that as I get older.
I have a co-worker who's the young hacker type and he's left his alone, just using Google's mobile web interface for gmail. I might do that, and recommend it for my mom who only checks her personal email like monthly, maybe with the instant on Kindle and wifi at work and home she'll check it more.

What is VOD? If you mean video on demand or streaming, it most certainly will work if you're rooted. The "trick" is to rename the "su" file in /system/bin/

How do you get vod or amazon prime video to work once rooted? I'm not rooted yet but taking the plunge tonight. BTW, What thread should I follow to root my KF and then install all the google apps?
Have 3 more questions.

Is there any way to text on the kindle? That would help me so much.
What email apps do you reccomend, the stock email app is not agreeing with me.

I have a kindle running 6.2 and I try to root it with superoneclick and it says everything goes ok but then my kindle hangs on the boot screen for a long time. I get it going then I run android terminal and do the su command then It says I dont have access to the root and ideas?

After you have rooted, get the OTA RootKeeper from Voodoo. It will allow you to temp unroot really easy at which point you can use VOD without the block. IF you already have VOD running, you need to kill it from the applications screen (or some other task manager) and then it will run.

True SMS is not really possible as it has no data radio, but you can use alternatives. I think with sprint you can use their web interface. There are other options but not something I've looked into.

You don't need OTA RootKeeper to get VOD while rooted. All you have to do is rename "su" to "su2" in system/bin directory.

True, but get serious. With the app, you press a button and it is done for you. Without it, you have to physically go to the location and rename the file. Then when you want to use an app that needs root, you have to physically go and rename it back.
With the app, you just press a button and it does that for you without any mistakes much faster.
With the exception of VOD, I don't know of anything else that doesn't work when you are rooted (su showing). I normally just run with root on since I have other apps that require root to do their thing.

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.

Maybe because this Exploit has been fixed and Google won`t let you bypass the FRP like that forever. It never worked on ALL devices.

this just happened to me on my htc m9. i changed my password sunday. reset my device and im like WTF? im done with google, this feature should be duely noted to consumers and in the literature. im taking my paperweight m9 back to tmobile and getting an iphone. i don't mind security but this is too much.

fix-this! said:
