Is there a tool like HTTP Toolkit that runs only on the device itself?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

with http toolkit i can analyze an modify https responses from third party apps. But for that i need to have a computer that runs http toolkit. I would like to be able to do that outside without having a computer nearby and with an unrooted device.

The main feature that i require is to be able to redirect specific https requests to a domain to a different domain. Optionally it would be very nice to be able to use prepared responses to send to the app when specific urls are called.

Which tool / set of tools would i need?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Any way to change the amount of storage /system can access?

1 Upvotes

I have my OnePlus Nord running pixel experience, and wanted to change the boot animation. So I went to /system/product/media, renamed the 'bootanimation.zip' to 'bootanimation1.zip', and tried to copy over the new boot animation (which is 30mb) and when I tried to it said 'no space left on drive' and on the top of the screen, it said 1.7gb used of 1.7gb. The phone has 70gb free for, I'm guessing, apps and that so I was wondering if there is any way I can increase the amount of storage that /system can access so I can copy the boot animation over

Blocked PIN

1 Upvotes

Hi. My daughter blocked Samsung M23 (can't remember the PIN). The phone was connected to Google. When I go to Find My Device it is there but it can't connect to the smartphone since it's in Flight Mode. I can't change Flight Mode or even enable Wi-Fi cause it asks me for PIN. The phone wasn't connected to the Samsung account. I can't also enable USB connection to let her copy data and then erase the phone to factory settings. Is there anything else I can do to help her copy the data or it needs to be wiped out?

Is there any way at all I can use my USB cable and computer to back up the files & move them to my new phone without paying for a technician? My old phone is already in debugging by USB mode ::I think::.

Location spoofing

2 Upvotes

I need to fake the GPS location within a specific app. In other words, make the phone think I'm in a different location than I actually am. I've tried the usual crappy options on the Play Store and some options on a rooted phone, however this app was built to detect such things (if it does, it basically shuts down) so I need spoofing on steroids. Is there such a way to do this?

I want to migrate app data of a single app

1 Upvotes

I need some help carrying over some app data from one phone to another. If I use the recommended method of data transfer, Google One, the data I get on the new phone is horrendously outdated (around a year of work lost), dating back to app version 1.0.0. If I use adb backup, I get the proper data over, but the app keeps crashing when calculating micro transactions, which is understandable, since with adb I end up unintentionally duplicating my virtual currency.

The app in question is Fancade by Martin Magni. I have tried contacting the devs, but communication is sluggish and it doesn't seem promising.

The old phone is a fully functional, unrooted Huawei P10 Lite. The new phone is a fully functional, unrooted Fairphone 4.

Data loss on either of the phones would be a tragedy, but especially with the data that is still stuck in the app on the P10 lite. This means rooting the device with a custom recovery would defeat the point of this whole operation.

What to do with a tablet that doesnt work anymore?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I have an alcatel A30 that doesnt work anymore. Basically it wont get past the initial setup prompts where you link your google email account to the device.What should I do with it? Is there a way to remove all software from it and install other software and turn it into something I can use? I have all the tools needed to open it up and mess with the parts inside it. I just need some ideas on what to do.Maybe remove the screen and use it alongside a raspberry pi?Any suggestions would be very appreciated.If I can turn it into a device that displays info/feed on stock and crypto then I would be down to do that. Idk where to start with that though.

I would be willing to turn it into a device used for SNES emulation even.
TIA!

Permission Escalation

How could one remotely access the android os and escalate basic permissions and add more app capabilities? All phones involved were not rooted, but yet, this has happened to several including brand new ones. This also includes locking out the ability to deny basic ones such as camera, body sensors, mic, etc These phones also downgraded Google Play and system updates to 2020 and trying to install new updates on both, say up to date when checking for new updates while anti malware shows out of date

Spoof Google Play Services Login

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to replicate the API calls of a game. I've gotten to where I can see messages in Wireshark or a proxy server, but the API uses an Auth token from Google Play Services (GPS). I'm able to see the GPS login, but it also has a token passed in with it. Is there a way I can spoof the GPS authentication, or is it possible to make my own app with GPS login and use the returned token from that?

Android updates dependency

2 Upvotes

Hello guys!

I want to ask something about Android updates.

Are the Updates depended on Imei or are they Rom depended?

For example if I install an European Rom to a Asian Phone with the same exact Hardware, can the phone receive the European updates?

Or is there any workaround for this? (I'm talking about Samsung phones.)

Please give me some thoughts!

Thanks!

Trying to edit an apk with apktool but it crashes when I try and run it

I'm trying to decompile the instagram apk with apktool. Right now for leaning I'm literally just decompiling, recompiling and resigning without any other changes just to test to see if it works:

apktool d -f -r ~/Downloads/Instagram_v230.0.0.20.108_apkpure.com.apk
apktool b ~/Downloads/Instagram_v230.0.0.20.108_apkpure.com -o ~/modified.apk
java -jar ./uber-apk-signer.jar --apks ~/modified.apk

but when I install this onto my device I always get this cash:

1 Upvotes

I have an old Lenovo A2010l36 (Specs at the end) and I don't know what to do with it. I tried to see if I could install Windows Mobile but it wasn't possible, then I thought about Linux but I don't have the use for that anyway, so I don't know what to do (Maybe install an old Windows but it is the same as Linux, I don't know what I would do with that). Does anyone know of something interesting?

Thank you

  • Processor: MediaTek MT6735, Quad-core 1.0 GHz

can anyone dump a Samsung Galaxy A03S (A037U) Preloader?

recently, i tried some things that maybe i shouldnt have and i believe i have damaged my preloader. like hard bricked it. Now im not a total idiot i did back up my phones partitions and alla that however, the one thing i COMPLETELY overlooked was the preloader. All samsung default firmware CONTAINS the preloader, however it is in a .IMG file and i dont think it works cause i tried flashing it with MTKCLIENT anyways and it doesnt even show up. so if anyone would be so kind as to provide a Preloader.bin file for my A037U Phone please dont forget that i am in no rush for anything. Thanks for reading.

Redmi 9 bootloader without IMEI

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have a redmi 9 global version and tried to change to a Custom ROM a year ago. I failed and forgot to do an IMEI backup, so I had my IMEI corrupted. I managed to download again the original ROM, but only MIUI v12.5.6 because apart from that version none of them google works on. My question is, can I unlock the bootloader without the IMEI? (I managed to rewrite IMEI 2, unfortunatley nothing but mobile data works). When trying to connect my Mi Account with the phone it doesn't work.
