Major security vulnerability in some Samsung phones could trigger factory reset via web page

This is a post that I read that has been verified on a number of news reports, spoke to Samsung and they reported that they are addressing this issue and a fix will be coming shortly but until then it is wise for all Samsung users be educated to avoid any issues with the device...

Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

Is there any way to recover (or even view) my contact list / phone book post factory reset?

I've not failed to do that. The contact list on my Mac is from my phone, not my wifes phone (which is the troublesome one). I restored it to last backup and it is back but I am not certain the problem will be fixed. Time will tell. My question is how to get her phones contact list back post reset...just the contact list.

Hello, I need some help on renaming the title on mi web pages!

Hello, I need some help on renaming the title on mi web pages! appear to be locked by the template and I would like to know if is posible rename each page with diferent title? Thanks,

@ Gary: No, there is no need to specify an editable region in the page title.
If you make a template from a page, by saving it as a template (using "save as template"), the page title is automatically made editable.
@ Jesus: if you look into the code of your template or of any childpage, it should read like this:

<title>Mi PageTitle</title>

meaning that the page title is indeed editable.
If it does not look like this, something went wrong.
Maybe do a little test, save your page as a template and see if the code reads as above.
It is important that you keep your templates in the Templates folder in your root folder
Do not move the folder or change its name, otherwise it will not work.

With Firefox 10.0.1 I could no longer pdf a web page. On preview, there is just a blank page.

I save some web pages as pdf files like the page showing which books and when due at my local library. After upgrading to Firefox 10.0.1 I could no longer do this. I can do it from my Safari browser. I use this feature a lot and really miss it. It's a deal breaker for me continuing to use Firefox vs Safari.

Thanks for the tip. Although margins weren't the problem, the page length was. I had occasion to use my 500" long page and failed to change it back to US Letter size. I wouldn't have thought to pursue that avenue if not for your tip. Thanks!

Firmware Update Process
To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
Disable the auto update feature on the router.
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.

3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=0a6881b90224439b92c8d...
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first using the local log in link and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.
PC Web Browser Configurations
What browser are you using?
If IE 8, 9, 10 or 11, set compatibility mode and test again.
Disable any security browser Add-ons like No Script and Ad-Block or configure them to allow All Pages when connected to the router.
Clear all browser caches.
Be sure to log into the local log-in account on the router first.

Problems with a new IP phone 7906 after factory reset

Hi Guys
I am currently having problems with my new IP phone 7906 after doing factory reset and here is a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvCLtwIAwVw
I used this command I found on the net:
Hold down
while plugging in the phone and keep holding it until the message waiting indicator (red light) starts blinking. Then
release # and type 123456789*0# in sequence.
I was trying to switch my phone to sip and it also dont want to take tftp setup either.

Tim,
Found this on the net
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/ts/fn/620/fn62949.html
Might be woth giving it a go
6.Pull power on the phone (even if power is PoE).
7.Hold down the # key on the phone.
8.Continue holding down the # key and re-apply power.
9.While still holding the # key wait for the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) light on the handset to start flashing.
10.Once the MWI light is flashing, release the # key and enter the following sequence exactly on the keypad:
3491672850*#
Once this sequence has been entered on the IP Phone, if all the network criteria above have been met, it should begin its recovery process. This process can take up to 15 minutes to finish. The phone may appear to be doing nothing during this time. However, if the phone does not recover after 20 minutes then it is possible that the recovery is stuck. In this case, re-examine your network and verify that steps 1-4 are in place, then re-issue the factory reset sequence.
* Note: The factory reset sequence is a way for a phone to clear flash and still upload to a valid firmware image. This is facilitated by the termxx.default.loads file, but requires that the image files listed in the termxx.default.loads file are available in TFTP for the phone to download. Open the termxx.default.loads file in any text editor. This loads file is essentially just a packing list showing all the OS and application files the phone needs to function. The files include a cnu, cvm, dsp, app and jar files. Please make sure that these files as listed in the termxx.default.loads file are in TFTP. ("xx" will be either "06" for the CP-7906G model, or "11" for the CP-7911G model.)
Additional Diagnostic Steps:
- Try a hard-coded IP address as a test to see if this resolves the upgrade failures. If it does, and the number of failing IP Phones is relatively few, this procedure may be the most expedient. After the IP Phone upgrades successfully, reconfigure the IP Phone to use DHCP.
- Try putting the phone on a hub or a different switch and see if this helps change the startup timing enough so that the upgrade completes successfully.

HT5312 phone activation after factory reset

Will a factory reset require reactivation of phone service with the carrier

Hi, SBtaylor.
The iPhone will require the previously used SIM or a valid activated SIM after factory resetting the device.

Can a unlocked (no ATT, Verizon, Sprint plan) iphone 5 bought from an Apple store utilize a phone call while simultaneously checking email, turn by turn, web pages etc.? I know the ATT version can and the Verizon version can't, so can the unlocked version from Apple (which is not yet available) do it?

My phone just got factory reset anyway i can get my stuff back without having to go into the store?

my phone got factory reset and im trying to get everything back but i have no clue on how to do that. Any one know?

Did you have a Verizon cloud backup? If so run that app on wifi. Add your Gmail account that should help. Go into play store to see your previous apps history in your store home hit the 3 lines next to play store at top. Add email accounts back. Did you have any other backups like Google plus or anything on a computer?

Phone can't factory reset and doesn't have password to configure.

Hi,
I just receive a cisco 7960. I did the following but the phone doesn't detect "#":
Unplug the power cable from the phone, and then plug in the cable again.The phone begins its power up cycle.
Immediately press and hold # and while the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash in sequence, release #.The Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons flash in sequence in order to indicate that the phone waits for you to enter the key sequence for the reset.
Press 123456789*0# within 60 seconds after the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons begin to flash.If you repeat a key within the sequence, for example, if you press 1223456789*0#, the sequence is still accepted and the phone resets.If you do not complete this key sequence or do not press any keys, after 60 seconds, the Headset, Mute, and Speaker buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.If you enter an invalid key sequence, the buttons no longer flash, and the phone continues with its normal startup process. The phone does not reset.If you enter this key sequence correctly, the phone displays this prompt:Keep network cfg? 1 = yes 2 = no
In order to maintain the current network configuration settings for the phone when the phone resets, press 1. In order to reset the network configuration settings when the phone resets, press 2.
I have tested that the # key is working as i can still hear the tone when it is being pressed. Is there anyway i can restore the phone back to factory mode?
Pls kindly assist.

Hi,
the method described above is the only method to factory reset a phone.
You must be patient, though :-) Sometimes it takes ages for the phone to move on to the next step.
What you need to do is to unplug, press and hold the # button and then plug the cable back in.

Could you please visit this web page? I need to know if my applet works.

However on my parents computer just a blank white screen shows but I am told the applet has started. Is there a way I can have it show up on their computer too?

HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

Blank Screen after factory reset 7911 phone

Hello guys,
I had a weird issue on an 7911 ip phone. It was connected to my network and on the display of the phone was saying "ethernet disconnected".
What i did was a soft and a hard reset using 123456789*0# and then 3497672850*# following the guidelines of a conversation in the forum
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2166581
After the factory reset the device has a blank screen (I left it for more than an hour connected on the network bearing in mind that some processes might be loading in the background and the firmware will load at some point..that didn't happen) and it is unable to receive an ip address ("show ip dhcp bindings", shows nothing related to the mac address of that device).
To eliminate the possibility that the problem might be on the network card of the phone, i've factory reset a working phone using the above described procedure.
I had the same problem with that phone too.
Are there are any log commands that i can use to further investigate my issue? (I can't see any logs using "terminal monitor"command)
I am using call manager express 4.3.0 on a cisco 2800 router.

Dragan,
I tried what you suggested with no luck.
What i noted is that, when i plug the power adapter on the phone and connect the ethernet cable on the switch port of the phone (the other end goes to a d-link small switch) the light on the small d-link switch doesn't come up. However if i plug the ethernet cable on the pc port of the phone the light goes green. I checked it with two phones that i've factory reset and it is the same problem.
What i understood from this, is that the pc is unable to retrieve an ip from the dhcp server and the necessary option 150 to locate the tftp server and retrieve the necessary firmware.
Gordon, due to the above mentioned problem i can't proceed with wireshark since i don't have network connectivity between the phone and my workstation.
Guys, do you have any alternatives that i can give a try?
Thanks a banch!
