Security hole in Knox, allegedly. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Maybe they should make it an optional install, because I know I'll never need it.

hmm that's a bold statement Samsung should be more humble or they might end up with there foot in there mouth so to speak the group off ppl that find exploits for a hobby are not ones to be temped! most major companies have learned the hard way. I just hope that's not how this plays out...at the same time... I hope Samsung sees the benefits of playing nice with developer's

I'm less worried about knox than I am about how vulnerable Basebands are to outside manipulation, eavesdropping etc. Seems to me that if a criminal enterprise wanted to be super successful they would exploit all phones vs exploiting only one brand.

Does this open the possibility of rooting without tripping Knox or perhaps removing the Knox bootloade?

Impossible to remove knox boatloader once you have it.

That's sucks, does that mean any future released Samsung device will be impossible to remove Knox?

Im also curious if there's any difference in firmware if let's say i live in singapore and upgraded using the malaysia version? Since the ics for singapore isnt out yet, and i cant wait anymore, are there huge performance changes between region specific roms?

You ask the right question! I can't understand this. Does Samsung officially response on this emmc bug problem?

Say for example, you purchase an ERP software and start to modify/customize the software to your taste/requirement, and it run well w/out any issue. Later when the ERP vendor release an updated version of the software, you updated and your modified/customized component doesn't fit in and has causes corruption on your data, that is your own problem, there won't be any issue if you've used the software as it is, without modifying a single code.
The same applies to the so-called emmc bug, does it even trigger if you've use the firmware as it is? Only the dev/expert will know.
Actually it triggers during normal factory resets too.
Edit: As per the bricking threads, it has a certain percentage of happening. Making the whole thing uncertain with people having successes with some having bricks.

Cause they love quality control and want to test global recall on all ics running phones

The normal factory reset on a Jailbroken iPhone has different effect than on a non-jailbroken one.

I am not too sure if it is different for Android Gingerbread and ICS .

Because they're taking a gamble on it happening only in a minority of cases or a minority of users being susceptible.
Presumably they have risk assessment or a conscious thought process internally that we're not privy to. To us it looks random in occurrance. Perhaps Samsung know more about it than we do and can take calculated risks.

[Q] Note 3 Possible

I am thinking of returning my At&t note 3 , However I would like to know if the possibility of the At&t note 3 bootloader being unlocked is really hopefull?
I don't know about the bootloader but I know one of my main reasons of me possibly returning it was that I did not have root to remove all of the unwanted garbage. But now that I have root I'm not too worried about the bootloader

wow thanks for the fast response! Yes I see, could you possibly give me a guide of what is good to uninstall after root? and if I need a special program to remove the bloatware? thanks!
I personally use titanium backup and I freeze a lot of the apps... Mostly Samsung and all att let me see if I can make a list of ones I removed. I know I may have to put some Samsung apps back if I get the galaxy gear. But I actually thought about returning it as well then when I saw the root come out, I did the root and it was perfect. And now I love it. Have you found the root for it?

Gear any good?

Hi All.
Juat git the note3. Thinking about the gear but heard some dodgy reviews..whats the verdict?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Verdict is that for the "version 1" device Samsung made great hardware - much better than anything else available on the market like sony, pebble, etc
and for the firmware - using rom developed by fOmey the functionality is GREAT - much better than the stock rom. It is all related to Your local preferences, but in fact with the custom rom You are getting miniature tablet! Read the ROM thread - at least OP and You will see how much had been achieved just in one month.
I really like the device, and the functionality superb!
It was kinda boring stock, but it's pretty awesome rooted.

It's very good stock with the latest update, it's unlimited with the null firmware. The future of the gear owners is great because we have no knox trigger, no region lock, we have root we have twrp and a great rom developer. And we have ( semms so..) the attention of samsung regarding the updates/improvements.

With respect this is am impossible question to answer. Read the specifications and if it fits your requirements then it will be fine for you. Its totally subjective and down to personal taste and what your expectations are. No single person can answer your question only you.
For example why did you purchase the note 3? That is also a very personal taste and again a subjective purchase.
I have owned them both from day one and so far enjoy them though neither are special in my own opinion (again subjective). They do what I require of them so they fit the bill in my case. I dislike the quality of construction of the note 3 and the GG could potentially have some issues with moisture. Read the threads here and providing you use caution with the GG you may enjoy it? Some don't some do.

Anyone in NYC?

I have no clue how to root or whatever and was wondering if anyone knows of any place or person in the NYC area that will root my watch for me. I don't want to have to return it because of the lack of functions without seeing what potential it actually has

first of congrats on getting a gear, second. are you wanting to us the null rom or just want the device rooted?
I'm not sure. I don't know wat any of that means. I just want to have more apps etc on it. I've never rooted or nulled anything before. I've read the threads about rooting and null but it's so confusing for fora newbie
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I just want to be able to put apps on the watch. The app available in gear manager are crap

What else have you seen though? After you install Null there are a few apps out there that you can install, but a lot of them are not built for the screen/keyboard on the watch, so you might not use them much.
It would be useful to install a custom ROM so you can tinker with it, but it's not like it's going to open the flood gates for you when it comes to custom apps
I work in the city BTW (near the ferry) but I won't be back in the office until next week. I can probably walk you through it though, it's really not that hard.
