It was prolly just a pop up window with one of those scams to get you to try to buy some bs software. Seen alot of those online. Your phone won't get a virus. It's linux.

The G1 is a linux-based device. It cannot get Windows-based viruses.
It sounds like you got a popup.
after you pulled the battery, what happened when you rebooted?

This is a common tactic. What you saw was totally fake and could not happen ion the G1.
You got owned (sort of).

i restarted the phone and eveytime i clicked browser and load google or any other site the same gray shaded box would pop up until i wiped and restored then everything went back to normal

please leave the internet, now...

Did you think to clear your browser's cache, history, and cookies?

This made my day.

^tg i have an antivirus

no kiding i know the g1 doesnt have drives, im not retarded, this **** happened to me on my desktop and i was concerned when it popped up on the g1. didnt know off hand it this was some sort of scam or the real deal. wasnt looking for ignorant comments thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a virus Whaaa!!!!????
In the case that you possibly even DID have a virus just download the app anti-virus from the market and install it.This should help you! Funny reading this though! I got a great laugh out of this one! Too bad G1 has no drivers!

yeah your g1 is fine. but download astro or some other file manger on your g1 and make sure there is not a strange file on your sd card because by some chance it could get on your pc and might affect it.

Helium: No Root, Tethered, Cloud/SD Backup, Phone to Phone Sync, Portal for PC/Mac DL

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup
Edit: I upgraded to 23.3.24 and it no longer connects to my Mac!!!
But this works http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/root-kingroot-4-4-4-su-6-7-t3117552
100% WORKING without root!! For data apps & app data! Seems the latest 1.1.4.0 update may have overcome many issues on our phone-contrary to the Wiki notice about Moto incompatibility.
Seems it is not ready for Lollipop w/o root, see best comment, below.
The Ultra reviews are stellar while the Moto X are not so.
I am in the middle of a 2 Hr +, 138 data apps including their data, Google drive upload.
My Maxx: 444, 21.11.12, premium version:1.1.4.0. I have a Mac, OS x Lion, though once connected w/usb debugging, a computer is not needed until the next reboot.
Why is tethering needed? From the 1st reddit link:
[–]JonnyShipsXperia Z3 D6616, TM-USA 11 points 17 days ago
The program is necessary. There's a bug that he's exploited with adb backup so that if you enter adb shell from a computer you can run adb backup from an arbitrary app.
I'm surprised Google hasn't closed it yet.
Wow! I uninstalled a few lesser used apps after the long BU. They restored great, data too.:good::good::good:. They show up in G Drive with a check box just as in the app.
Did a PC download BU to my Mac via Chrome. All good-1.2 MB/sec!!
When doing a Chrome portal restore, you must choose to restore all or nothing. Choose browse button, select your backup.zip, wait for ALL apps to show up!--which I tested & works fine-3 app test restore.
While the Google drive/other cloud options allow "any or all", which is much better.:good::good:
Notes:
I thought portrait display mode was needed to see the buttons at bottom. Not so, a swipe up reveiles them.
Edit: It is fickle about showing them in landscape.
Check automation in Helium settings.
I do not use any encryption.
DropBox goes the same as Google Drive.
There were 7 apps that bombed out in the first UL. Helium earmarked them for a retry & they all went ok!!
For unencrypted cloud: Do not override the encryption key entry, pre-restore (or backup), screen! If you force the right selection with your finger the restore bombs out! Lol! Just let it go & the right (restore my data) is auto selected.

Seriously, scan throught the rest of the comments here for hate against the developer rather than the app - I'm sure they will hat it works, let alone even TRY it.
If you want an honest and more reliable opinion, scan through the google play reviews, or even reviews made by reliable android websites. Sure there are people too that have problems getting it to work (and some of the others are giving bad reviews for things that isn't even Heliums fault), and Koush isn't really known for a good support I give you that. But judging from reviews it seems as the majority got it to work. So much for that exception to the rule, eh?
Also Helium isn't anything more than a simple GUI to Googles own ADB backup and yes it IS sometimes unrealiable (and always was from my experience), so there is nothing about that Helium could fix.
From my test right now it does indeed seem to NOT work on Android 5.0/Lollipop (without root atleast), so I won't get my hopes up for the future of the app... unless for some reason Koushik will really maintain the app

http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/back-up-your-android-apps-their-data-without-root-0158767/ but no comments
Here is an X thread from a year ago. I am not sure any of it still applies to the current version. If any, it might have the zip restore from the Chrome WiFi portal/PC download
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49285478&postcount=1
Please post if you use it to restore or phone to phone sync, outcome & phone build etc.

Anyone use it for a full restore or the like?
Edit, I just restored, from dropbox,136 apps w/data, all good.

Damn!
No longer works on 23.3.24, the chrome / Helium app will not communicate with each other.

Programming Tasker from your Laptop or PC

Even on the fairly generous display of my Nexus 6, working in Tasker can be a bit tedious, especially over protracted periods of time. I like a full sized keyboard and a mouse. I like being able to develop ideas on my laptop with multiple monitors; work in multiple full featured editors; move things around to suit my whims; cut and paste text and files as the need arises.
I have an HP Elitebook running Win10. The N6 is not rooted. Currently, the display of my N6 is mirrored to a window on my laptop (which I can resize[!]). The laptop keyboard and mouse now work with my N6. From my PC I can do anything on my N6 from change settings, to cut 'n paste, to move files and to program and test Tasker in its native environment. Want to know how? It's easy. I had this set up in about 3 minutes.
This is all thanks to a Chrome extension call Vysor (by ClockworkMod).

There are a few drawbacks, most notably with a little display latency. But depending what hardware you are using, how many things you have running at once and how you've configured, your mileage will probably vary. Me? I'm happy.

Sorry about the link. I'm new to the forum. Need a few more posts before URLs are enabled. But I just thought I would add that I am working on an organization chart and a flow-control flowchart for organizing more complex Tasker projects. I need this stuff or I get lost and run down rabbit trails.
I'm a pretty visually oriented kind of guy. That is one reason that Vysor has proven to be valuable to me. I can have my word processor with the charts and development notes open, XML displayed in Notepad++, two File Explorer windows for easily transferring files, cut 'n paste available so I can grab from my lists of Profile, Tasks and Variable names and Audacity open for making quick, down and dirty notification MP3s (like voicing over a Star Trek 'incoming message' sound effect with, "Captain, you have a voice message".) OK, I'm a little geeky.

I just checked the article again. No problem. Let's try this another way. Have you looked for the Chrome extension Vysor? The article "By Jack Wallen | August 28, 2015, 4:11 AM PST" says in part:
From the Chrome browser, go to the Vysor page, click ADD TO CHROME, and then click Add (when prompted). Now, if you click the Apps button (upper left corner of the Chrome window, under the bookmark toolbar), you should see the Vysor app ready to launch.
Prepping your device
In order for this to work, you must enable USB debugging on your Android device. This is simple. First, you must enable Developer options. Here's how:
Open Settings
Locate and tap About Phone
Locate Build number
Tap Build number seven times
Tap the back button
Locate and tap the newly added Developer options
To enable USB debugging, do the following:
Open Settings
Locate and Tap Developer options
Tap to enable USB debugging
Plug your device, via USB, into the computer running Vysor. Once connected, click on the Chrome Apps button, and then click on the Vysor launcher. A new window will appear with a Find Devices button. Click that button, and your device should instantly appear
Highlight your device, and then click the Select button. On your device, you'll be prompted to accept the computers RSA fingerprint. Click OK on that window, and the Vysor mirror window should appear displaying the screen from your Android device.​
Hope this helps...

Teamviewer works too to do the same job

Hi philippe734 and thanks. TeamViewer is a great piece of software. But it is a little overkill for this purpose. It is also cloud based and therefore presents certain security concerns. I didn't know if you were aware, but InfoSecurity, the online magazine, has linked TeamViewer with the ransomware, Surprise! http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/surprise-ransomware-spreading-via/
I'm no security expert, but I'm using Vysor over a USB link from within Chrome. My home network has no WiFi router and my Cloud account is pretty much a one-way proposition. I try to keep everything local except those things I upload to share or conversely, to put out of reach of anyone that might take possession of my phone (such as dashcam videos and other types of recordings).

Settings-> More->Vpn "+" missing

i reinstalled the good old reliable R1HDzenui.zip rom which has always worked well for me on the Blu R1 HD. i downloaded it from a link provided by "vampirefohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/custom-rom-r1hd-zen-ui-t3473593" on this forum. It generally works fine but I can't add a vpn. I am looking for a way of adding the built in vpn that comes with android marshmallow. I would like to use it with Linphone to make sip calls though an asterisk pbx to save my cell minutes. It seems that I was able to do this previously with this rom. Maybe it needs to reenabled. Reinstalled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I just looked at vpn setting on v8.7 and when I click the + to add a connection I got a pop up message telling me that I need to set screen lock before I can add a vpn connection, so maybe you can try to set your lock screen first then try add vpn.

Nope. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't get the plus even after I do that.
When I press the 3 dots on the upper right., I get the option to select Always-on-VPN and a dialog box comes up that says Select VPN profile and .... with a radio button checked off with None as the option.

Thanks for your response. I bought a new R1HD and i was unable to unlock the bootloader so I returned it. Is it possible to hack the ones they are selling now? I used the SP....tool with the scatter text file. I am asking since you have done a lot of work with this phone.

The spflash tool method worked up to v6.5
Then needed to use dirty-cow method from 6.6 - 7.4.2
After that have not been able to do anything with v8.1 and above

Is is possible to add the vpn after the fact as a patch to the kernel or as a system application when the phone is rooted like mine is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

upgrade to newer rom

From what I read in your post, you have created an 8.x (oreo)rom for this phone and installing that would solve the problem. The phone runs so well with 6.0 marshmallow, I'm hesitant to go through all the trouble of wiping it to upgrade it. It there a way of upgrading without doing a fresh install?

I think I have found a tool to flash bricked Google Home devices.

Hello! This is my first post here.

I have founded this on a dumpster a couple of months ago, I made a post on Reddit and somebody suggested that I should post it here. This is a demo device (The ones that you can found at a BestBuy, for example)
This device has a couple of interesting things:
It's an Android tablet, you can actually install normal apps on it, Fun Fact: you can't install the google play services (Play Store and all that stuff), that crash the "tablet" immediately. The "tablet" has a pre-installed app that runs the demos.
The thing on the right is an actual, 100% "working" google home mini, but it looks like it has a demo firmware, so the USB cable actually connects to the tablet, and that's how the device answers to the woman in the video while playing the demo.
But there is MORE!
This thing can actually flash a firmware to the google home mini!
This was taken from the official manual that you can find online (search for outform modular demo):
Step 4. Insert the USB flash drive into the connector. Do not press any buttons on the device. After 4-5 minutes the LEDs on the device turn green or red. Green indicates that the procedure has been completed successfully and red indicates the operation has failed. If the operation has failed, remove the USB and try again.

I was wondering if we can use this to recover dead Google Homes, I will just need the firmware file to try it.
If somebody is interested in the APK or wants more information about this device, let me know!
I have made a little video on YouTube booting the device, but since my account is new it won't let me post it, so here is the video ID: watch?v=_ZPx8uIjvgk
TL;DR
Founded a device that possibly can flash firmware to Google Home devices, need help finding a firmware file to try.

Hi
As I understood this is simple android. Could you extract application apk which make flash a firmware ?

Hi! Yes, this is like an Android tablet, I have done a little more research and it looks like the Tablet doesn't have anything to do with flashing the device, It looks like the the flashing is managed on a different PCB, under the Google Home Mini base, I will upload APK when I get home if you want to see what can you discover.
Edit: Can't post links, I will send you a PM

Is this a first or second-generation Google home mini? I just got a 2nd gen to try and hack on it and was wondering if this would be useful information
Also, how is the home connected to the pad? Mine doesn't seem to have any USB ports or anything.

Hello, im am interested in: This thing can actually flash a firmware to the google home mini! Any chance it might work on an insignia google assistant speaker? Either way would you provide me with a link to get the software please?

How can I get my Hands on the software to Flash a google home mini. Purchased as a birthday gift according to googles online support team its bricked (probly did a firmware update then it either failed/lost network/lost power) which bricked the device. Google told me they do not have any stores in South Africa and I should return it to the reseller in SA. Contacted the reseller and they refusing to now replace it saying google should fix it. All I want is a working device so if I Could reflash it myself would be super helpful as I am stuck with a non working google home mini!
Please if anyone has the above mentioned software I would really appriciate it
