Hi!
What can app developers actually see and how are they identifying me?
The MAC-adress, the IMEI, the device ID?
How can I prevent them from identifying me? The only way that I know, is changing the MAC, IMEI, and device ID.
For example: I download an app called XY. It knows my phone.
Now I uninstall XY, and install it again, but I dont want that it already knows my phone(A). I mean I want that the app XY thinks that I'm a other mobile phone(B). It dont matters that the app knows that I'm using a 1+1. It matters that the app knows that I'm using another 1+1. And how can I get back, so that the app XY thinks that I'm again using my phone(A)?
Or the question expressed differently, how can I have 2 ''different'' phones in one mobile? For example I could buy another 1+1. But I want to have to two different identities in one phone. Is that possible?
How can I do that? Its nothing illegal that I'm trying to do
Thank you very much, and best regards from germany!
Happy new year!
You can't. They can pull everything about your device. Everything you mentioned changing is against the law in many countries and as such banned on xda.

Oh well thank you. But using 2 phones must be also illegal if changing device id is illegal :/
How can I delete the thread?

You can't delete it. Only mods can. Also no it is not the same as using 2 devices. Might want to look into things and get an understanding of just what you are wanting.
Changing the imei or Mac address has been illegal in devices for decades.

Yes and it has been illegal since shortly after consumer cell phones hit the market. A decade being 10 years. So yes. Heck the laws were put in 9lace most likely be for you were even born.

Also that tool doesnt work on the Hermes..

It's never illegal to change it... Only to use it once changed...

stop flaming the IMEI posts
I don't understand why you gentleman get your panties all in a bunch whenever anyone even mentions IMEI changing. I've read the ridiculously long post by vijay regarding the (assumed) illegality of changing one's IMEI number. But this is a DEVELOPERS forum. Not some sort of cell co customer support forum. The whole point here is for DEVELOPERS to be able to talk about all the nitty gritty details of how we can void our warranties in interesting, novel ways. The forum even has an indisputable history of encouraging IMEI experimentation just as much as ROM cooking (which seems to be the only focus of xda-developers any more.) So let's not restrict our discussions based on this bogus "legality" argument. Ultimately, the users are responsible for what they do with their devices. Let's not play Big Brother and try and impose arbitrary restrictions on what people can learn.
As a side issue, I'd like to suggest that a separate forum be added for ROM cooking. The signal-to-noise ratio has continuously gone south with more and more users posting their own "custom" ROMs (which are little more than the exact same OS with different software taken out or left in). The registry tweaks are all documented (or can be). These releases are just the same old thing with the creator's theme, splash screens, and name added to it. Which isn't to say that people shouldn't create, just that it'd be a vast improvement if we could keep these discussions in there own forum.

Does anyone know the 16-Digit Password for the Fascinate? I have tried brute forcing it with almost every known samsung password but none work! Does anyone know the method used to retrieve the password? Is it done by dumping a specific memory range or do these passwords just get leaked by samsung? Willing to pay for the password at this point if anyone can point me in the right direction. TIA!
I too like to know.

Guys, as per the forum rules, you can't solicit payment up-front.
That's not in the spirit of the forum, and I would suggest the user claiming to have the code may wish to post it, and accept donations to make up the cost.
Selling this code isn't allowed on the forum, so I have removed the offer of sale from the thread. I will leave this open, but if it returns to talk of selling it, this will be closed.

Is there any Android apps for cracking/hacking the WEP, WPA, WPA2 ?
When I go somewhere you can't connect to anything except that, and I need NET everywhere.
So how to hack any of these three ?
XDA doesn't condone illegal activity.
cracking wifi isn't illegal. cracking wifi without permission from the owner is illegal.
there are apps like network spoofer, droidsheep, and wifikill that arp spoof / poison and could be considered illegal things depending on the circumstance but are still available on these forums and some even on the android market.
I'm a CIS major going into penetration testing and it certainly wouldn't be illegal for me to hack wep keys ethically.
but to answer op's question - no, there is no aircrack or anything like it.
ubuntu for android may make things easier though, so hold off.
I think when I'm done with my exams I'll try to implement aircrack on Android with a simple user interface (hopefuly injection works with the Primes' adapter). Just to see how dumbasses get caught and pay up for 'hacking' other people. The OP could have just as well asked for 'a good crowbar, because I need free cars everywhere'.

Most wireless carriers offer a hack.....its called personal wifi and you PAY for it. I find the statement that "I need NET everywhere" to be quite hilarious.
I grew up in times where the "NET" was non existant. Try having normal realtionships instead of relying on streaming porn.
Im more than sure the OP is referring to illegal activity. If he had permission they would give him the key....

I'm always checking my wifi since a neighbor of mine decided to use my secure wifi once, thankfully I was able to access his computer and have him a scare.
Point is don't use others wifi and stop acting like youre not doing anything wrong.

It really doesn't take genius to figure out the OP is interested in using someone else's Wifi. And you have to wonder if the OP would be able to use the app if he/she can't use search in the market or google.

I'm not sure where you got that impression, I don't advocate using other's network access. My point was that you either help the OP, or don't.. There's no point in starting an ethical discussion on the topic on a hacking forum.

He did not ask how to do penetration testing from the Android. He asked how to crack keys so he could use another persons wifi without getting consent. That intent is illegal. Even penetration testing without the consent of the owner is a very grey area in most of the world and illegal in the united states. Consent is a very important element here.
So yes there are cases where the action is legal what the OP is asking is not one of those cases. Given this, your response to the post is sophistry.

Hi there peeps,before you say it ive exhausted the search button (so no wise guys)
I have 3 SGS2's I9100,
1. Has no service (from ebay somebody didnt pay the bill)
2. Has a busted screen (again from ebay)thought you could just replace the top screen ! Doh!
3. Has no wifi or bluetooth (been told it needs a new mobo)
i want 2 working phones from the 3 i have.
My question is can i transfer the efs/imei from No3 to the mobo of No1 and the mobo from No2 to No3.I can do the physical from 2 to 3.I am just not certain about 3 to 1.
If you can, how can it be done,what would i need to do it myself?
Thanks in advance
No, you can't transfer an IMEI from one device to another. Illegal in every jurisdiction in the world that follows the rule of law.

So lets say i had a new mobo,and i wanted to transfer my old efs/imei on it then would that be illegal?Just like they do in the shop when you pay for a new mobo.
So because i have and old mobo,then thats a grey area,and your instantly bannished to the depths of hell for even thinking it or asking it.The point of the question was to see if its possible.Not to be quoted the letter of the law,as if i didnt or wouldnt know it.
But thanks for stating the obvious
That's not transferring the IMEI, that's transferring your existing phone number (or putting an existing SIM card in) to a new phone. The IMEI is a unique identifier that every mobile device has, it's attached to that particular piece of hardware.
I didn't state the obvious, if it were that obvious you wouldn't have made this thread, would you ?

The obvious to me is about the legal stuff and jurisdiction etc ,i'm not asking about anything being legal,neither did i mention anything about a sim card or a phone number.
I know what an IMEI is too.(International Mobile Equipment Identity)
I did ask if i had used mobo can i transfer from another mobo the imei,I assumed it to be a no.So then i asked if i had a new mobo how would the imei from lets say a damaged mobo be transfered to a new mobo.
I didn't come on here to get trolled or preached some laws,if you cant answer what i asked,then whats the point in you replying to something you clearly don't have the answer to.
I said what I said because one of the rules here is "Don't do anything that could get us (XDA) into trouble".

That depends on the state. The state I just lived in made it illegal for all kids over 16 as that is when they can leave home. You also have to tell them its on there. Also any of the programs that are used to record calls are flat out illegal on a childs devices due to the laws about recording phone calls and both parties having to know about it.
But to each their own. Anyone that feels they need to spy on their kids has already lost them.
