But did you have the big bad aopk? Think everyone running that has never failed.

What is the big bad aokp? I had aokp and its not that much different from cm9

Running CleanRom 2.1 and passed.



Strange...the article says only Samsung phones running TouchWiz can be affected....

EDIT: Reading further, it appears this test just determines if USSD operations can be run remotely. (and apparently this was supposed to be fixed as of ICS). This test attempts to display MEID number, however the actual exploit attempts to do a USSD factory reset, which is a feature apparently only Samsung TW phones have. So if your phone isn't a Samsung running TW then you're not at risk for this exploit even if your phone fails the test.

Yea I read that I just wanted to see if I would still fail the test. I wonder if there is any reports of people getting their phones formatted remotely.

If you are still unsure whether you are affected or susceptible to this vulnerability and would like extra peace of mind "jaj6503" found an app (Telstop) that helps with this issue. Just some added security.

Install TelStop from the Play Store, it blocks the code from running without permission....
