REQUEST TO MODS TO STOP ALL THREADS STARTED regarding IMEI changing topics.
THE ONLY REASON SOMEONE WOULD LOOK IN THESE THREADS ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE OR ARE USING STOLEN DEVICES.
I've never had a device stolen in all my life, but i could just imagine if i did.
I second this. Think about the legal ramifications if info used from this site is brought up in a stalking case or worse. The "We are not responsible" defense no longer works.
but if something similar to this happened?

That guy needs to use his cell provider's resources, not get folks to post things here that can get others and this site into legal trouble. I could guarantee that if someone's phone were cloned/stolen after seeing these posts here, lawyers would be looking into this site, and it brings unwanted and unneeded attention to the site. In today's climate, probably even US homeland security and whatever resources the Netherlands has would start pulling the site apart.
Not worth the risk to the content here.
DISCLAIMER: I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY, DOING SO AT YOUR OWN RISK
* Mod EDIT *
Removed; performing such activities is called: fraud. The consequences are less than desirable.
This post needs to be removed.
This is blatant fraud, and if this continues it will make it harder to get warranty service for actual problems.
Plus this kind of crap could put our forum at risk.

youre still helping people commit fraud. crap like that doesnt belong here
I'm sure plently of people here at xda flash their phone with hacked ROM and that void warranty and still lie to Phone Carrier to get it replace under warranty then does that make everyone here a fraud?
Lord... Ip address sent to verizon via the Patriot Act.
How to successfully rob a bank.
Disclaimer: For informational purposes only!
If someone did that, then yes its fraud and they committed it.
I have no issues with what you do, with your stuff and your life. My issue is the public posting of how to do it.
Some 14yr old kid is gunna do it, mess up his phone and ship it in.
They are going to catch wind, and that kid's mother/father is gunna get a bill for it. (I know for a fact that there is at least 1 verizon employee and 1 htc employee visit and post on the Eris section).
Don't get us in trouble.
What part of this rule isn't clear to you? Let me highlight the "between the lines" bits that you should have picked up on ...
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
There is no cure for s*****, but there can certainly be a charge for it!
Forum Rules, Please Read!
i go to school and i always want to get the wep password i want to use a crack to get it like an aircrack i just need info on if there is a program for the android phones.basically i need direction in what to look for like programs names and steps because i am clueless.
ps.i tried posting on the software forums but i am a new member and it is not allowed.
Are you being serious?
Dumbass. You're asking for help in committing a crime, publicly.
Sent from the void...
"Aircrack" lmao!

Seems Treve was right about CIq FBI law enforcement involve so here's the link check for your self

This is how you know there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the government has our best interests in mind and would never do anything that could potentially harm is.
Tin foil hat firmly affixed for this one...
Very interesting. Thanks

Well if u say so, then again they are great liars in my opinion. They spray the skies and say its nothing harmful, u have kids and some new "disease" is born but they said its not harmful.
another little article on this
http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/12/carrier-iq-fbi/
This stuff is just creepy. 2011 is 1984. No joke.
edit: this is the Carrie IQ rebuttal
http://venturebeat.com/2011/12/13/carrier-iq-fbi-rebuttal/
And everyone thought I was crazy when I said CIQ sounded like part of the alphabet soup :-/

You must not have sensed the sarcasm. I was laying it on pretty thick.
[sarcasm] THIS JUST IN...CarrierIQ useless when used in conjunction with aluminum hats. Basement dwellers rejoice!![sarcasm/]
My opinion:
If Carrier IQ doesn't have anything to hide, I would like to see the following information released from them:
a) Disclose EXACTLY what data they collect and display formatting and reports associated with them.
b) Disclose EXACTLY what improvements has come from the data collected.
c) Disclose EXACTLY what security measures they have been using to protect privacy
d) Disclose EXACTLY how many people have access from their side, and to what department they get delivered AND what security measures are being used in the process of delivery to the end user (companies that work with them)
e) Disclose EXACTLY WHY they don't have an Opt-Out option if they are really not doing anything shady.
f) Based on the YouTube video that proved that they are collecting more than anonymous information, they should prove beyond reasonable doubt to the public that their software doesn't collect / send this data to them.
This will not keep everyone (or myself) at peace but its a start in the right direction....
Going along the lines of what megabiteg said ..
I would add that - So, if 160+ million devices with CarrierIQ were set to communicate or "call home" all at once there would be no Denial of Service on whomever is collecting whatever.. /sarcasm
After all, at first it was said that no data was being transmitted, then it changed to no personal data was being transmitted, then the "blame game and finger pointing" began.. next week it will be no financial data is being transmitted.
So which is it?
The other question I have is for AV (AntiVirus/Security) vendors who make a lot of claims against Android and call it unsecured.. Why didn't your product (paid or free) catch and remove CarrierIQ as it was discovered months ago and by most "modern" standards is a Rootkit?

I think ciq is really just a front for the government to spy on citizens. No wonder why their statements are just bull****. I don't doubt it.
Support TrevE !!

Ha I know what you mean. It is what it is you always have to protect your self especially from gov that sells your info for cash. I believe there is an app that shreds your text messages, using a third party app instead of the manufactures one to protect urself against ex.(tigerwoods) ex mistress, company, and etc, that u dont want them to find out. Always be one step ahead of what your intentions are.
Remember laws are not laws but simply codes and statues that "everybody" agreed upon. You should always defend your self.
I'm just saying.
Isn't all this irrelevant for those using custom ROMS?

Some useful updates and information regarding the situation:
http://franken.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1891
This was an important remark from the US Senator:
"I appreciate the responses I received, but I'm still very troubled by what's going on," said Sen. Franken. "People have a fundamental right to control their private information. After reading the companies' responses, I'm still concerned that this right is not being respected. The average user of any device equipped with Carrier IQ software has no way of knowing that this software is running, what information it is getting, and who it is giving it to-and that's a problem. It appears that Carrier IQ has been receiving the contents of a number of text messages-even though they had told the public that they did not. I'm also bothered by the software's ability to capture the contents of our online searches-even when users wish to encrypt them. So there are still many questions to be answered here and things that need to be fixed."
I hope the Senator keeps the strong track he's fighting, we should all support him!

I dont think there is anything wrong with carrier IQ. Like if your doing nothing wrong you have nothing to be worried about* but with that being said, it is not right for our phone companies, service providers, CIQ, or even the FBI, to leave us in the dark like this. There really is so much in question and so many assumptions, I just dont see why they cant fill us in, and at least let us know what is going on while we sort out this whole mess...
Hello
Anyone can suggest a safe and solid way to replace IMEI embedded into the device? Is rooting a must for this ?
And What could be some typical drawbacks of changing IMEIs in the future?
Thanks
Xda does not allow any type of IMEI change or manipulation talk in the forums. It is rather considered illegal even if borrowing from a old phone you own.
