Actually... the government requires that there be a Backdoor by some act that was passed back in the 90s... the FBI got pissed that they couldn't snoop on all communications because there wasn't a Backdoor on some communications technologies... so now all communication technology must be designed with some form of a backdoor in mind. I just read about it today in class actually... It seems school isn't a complete failure after all...

Hit the thanks button if I helped you in any way please...

holy crap, nove there doesnt have to be some remote access, just one app in the app store to check your build.prop for "compatible phones" (which wouldnt be hard... the market already filters...) and you can run this command via shell from within the app. by rooting you make your phone SAFER! why? because if i try to hijack a rooted phone the first thing that is gunna pop up is superuser asking if the user wants me to...

you want reputable? China's ZTE Ships Smartphone with Backdoor to MetroPCS (Updated) | SecurityWeek.Com and im sure you could prolly find a whole crapload more. i have yet myself confirmed if it is on teh warp but people in cm-dev say it is, so really if you wanna find out load up adb shell and give it a whirl.

many developers have recently scoured those files and found it was left in there intentionally, its not designed to be a backdoor but instead install apps, why zte chose to use a rotted agent instead of the proper methods supplied by google ive no idea.

bottom line, this is no danger to anyone on this forum. this was brought up because it is a MASSIVE security concern. especially since the other major chinese android OEM (Huawei) also recently had a security issue. dunno too much about it but it apparently was enough to spook the Australia government from ever using any of their products

repeat: "bottom line, this is no danger to anyone on this forum.", what i was saying all along, and by your phone being safer when rooted, i agree to disagree, everyone auto accepts ti backup, root explorer, similar apps to grant superuser access...so lets say someone remotely gets to your rootexplorer which automatically has access boom their into your build.prop...most importantly though, there's too much network traffic/too large a gateway for anyone to really exploit this unless they are specifically after a certain target and are fully prepared. End of story, may i ask though..by paying $ to be Premium? what exactly does it give you as far as " perks ", besides the bright glowing orange? honestly im curious
