What is the point of this thread?

the thread you are referring to talks about the SAME EXACT exploit posted by Shabbypenguin HERE which you also already posted in


Yes we are vulnerable to this exploit. Any (prevail) ROM that has the hiddenmenu.apk included is. This has been addressed, and a solution offered. Just download a 3rd party dialer. Most/all third party dialers will not access the hidden menu. (or install a rom without hiddenmenu.apk)

Posted here first,personally was unaware of this vulnerability and figured it would'nt hurt to make sure that other prevail users who are either new here or never wander from the "all things root " forum might be made aware, I'm deeply sorry if I have offended you or in some manner besmerched your beloved domain, I apperently mistook this for a public forum geared towards not just towards prevail users but those who were also rooted,so again my apologies to anyone who may have been confused or offended.

For the future you can just put a post (with a little note) in any thread and then post the link to the thread for people to check it out like this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-prevail/622749-psa-watch-what-sites-you-load.html instead of making a new thread.

No harm, no foul... I didn't Deere this thread until long after i saw your post in the one shabby created... Blame tapatalk... I read all my participated threads first...

It actually makes your post in that thread make more sense to

Admittedly my op was a poorly worded knee jerk reaction to the idea of an " un-planned " factory reset by code obviously written by apple and released to the world in unison with the iphone5....nah that was too easy all the good conspiracy theories way more intrigue and colusion scratch that last bit
