My Bionic is Vulnerable to the New USSD Exploit, How About Yours ??

[TexasBadger]

You can check by reading the article at the link below and clicking on the test link in Paragraph #1. My phone, which is stock, failed the test. Phones running the various leaks will probably fail too (someone please confirm). So, now we need three Moto OTAs: ICS, JB, and an USSB Exploit patch.

Your Bionic may fail the USSD Hack text, but Motorola doesn't build a URI code that will allow a factory reset.

Interesting. ICS 6.7.246 and my phone passed. It attempted to dial #*06*#, which is missing half of the digits to show the MEID: #*#*INFO*#*# (aka #*#*4636*#*#) and thus did nothing on my phone.

Say what?

exactly what i said. The link could do nothing on my phone. Dialing #*06*# does nothing. Try going to dialer, though,and dialing #*#*INFO*#*# and see what happens....
