- There are several reasons that you might want to restore the factory firmware on your device—maybe you need to send your phone back for warranty purposes, or perhaps you're getting ready to accept an over-the-air update and need to unroot first.
- If you recently received your new Galaxy S9 or S9+, you're probably excited to try out all of the features the flagship offers. While many of the features are self-explanatory and easy to access, there are a handful of very useful items that Samsung has buried in the settings menu. Enabling these.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Troubleshooting
Before you discover how to hack a Samsung Galaxy S3 (for example) it’s important to know why you would need to. There are a number of reasons behind why you might want or need to hack a phone in this way, and the main one, the one that most people have trouble with and the reason behind most hacks is to unlock Samsung Galaxy S5, S6 and other devices. We know it happens. It happens a lot. It happens on websites all the time. But phones are also often password protected, and, unlike a website where all you need to do it click a link to retrieve your lost password, once you’ve forgotten the one for your Samsung Galaxy, there aren’t many options left for you. Hacking is one way to find that information so that you can continue to use the phone.
Take a look online and you’ll find a huge number of second hand Samsung Galaxy phones for sale. They can be fantastic bargains, but occasionally when they arrive they are locked – and no one knows the code or password. Being able to hack into the phone means that you can use it, and you haven’t wasted money on buying a phone that you can’t get into.
Every Samsung Galaxy device - from the S3 to the latest S6 - has a significant flaw that lets in hackers, researchers have discovered. The vulnerability lives in the phones' keyboard software.
Finally, being able to hack into a phone such as the Galaxy S6, S5, S4, or S3 is pretty impressive, and some people may want to learn how to do it so that they can show off for their friends. But no matter how cool this trick is, remember that hacking into someone’s phone without their permission is illegal – ask for their consent or you could be find yourself facing a fine or even prison. Be careful.
Every Samsung Galaxy device -- from the S3 to the latest S6 -- has a significant flaw that lets in hackers, researchers have discovered.
The vulnerability lives in the phones' keyboard software, which can't be deleted. The flaw potentially allows hackers to spy on anyone using a Samsung Galaxy phone.
You can be exposed by using public or insecure Wi-Fi. But some researchers think users are exposed even on cell phone networks.
Researchers at NowSecure, a cybersecurity firm, say they told Samsung(SSNLF) about the vulnerability in November. Seven months later, nothing has been fixed. That's why NowSecure made its findings public on Tuesday.
How serious is this problem? NowSecure CEO Andrew Hoog said that, on a well-established system that ranks cybersecurity problems from 1 to 10, this vulnerability stood at 8.3.
NowSecure said it tested several Galaxy models on many different cell phone carriers. All were vulnerable. Assuming every Galaxy out there is the same, NowSecure estimates 600 million devices are affected.
The problem involves the word prediction software used by Samsung devices. It's made by British tech firm SwiftKey, which Samsung installs in devices at the factory.

Last year, NowSecure researchers discovered that the SwiftKey keyboard can be tricked to accept a malicious file when the software updates. Because of the way the keyboard is installed, that virus can access some of the deepest, core parts of the phone's computer system.
With that level of access, a hacker can then do pretty much anything to your phone.
This hack isn't easy. But it's a tactic for cyberattackers on a mission with lots of money and access WiFi or cell networks. One possible target? Company executives traveling to countries, such as China, where the government routinely spies on visitors to steal their business plans.
It also exposes high-level U.S. government officials. Samsung just earned the NSA's blessing for its Galaxy devices, which were approved for use by government employees. And the latest hack of federal employees -- allegedly by the Chinese government -- shows they are valuable targets.
Neither Samsung nor SwiftKey have claimed responsibility for inserting the flawed computer code. In a public statement, SwiftKey said it only found out about the flaw on Tuesday. SwiftKey said 'the way this technology was integrated on Samsung devices introduced the security vulnerability.'
To calm down worried users, the British firm argued that this hack isn't easy to pull off. It involves particular timing. A hacker can only sneak into a device when the keyboard software is applying a software update.
In a statement to reporters, Samsung said it 'takes emerging security threats very seriously... and [is] committed to providing the latest in mobile security.'
The company also said it's about to patch the issue through its Samsung KNOX service. 'Updates will begin rolling out in a few days,' the company said, although it's unclear whether all devices will receive the fix.
Part of the incredibly long delay to fix this problem is due to the way phone manufacturers work with cell phone carriers like AT&T(T), Sprint(S), T-Mobile(TMUS) and Verizon(VZ). Samsung could race to create a fix, but people must wait until carriers get around to distributing them.

This fractured system causes frequent complaints from users, who must patiently wait for all new software: everything from new features to patches for dangerous computer bugs.
NowSecure said it notified Samsung in November -- and as evidence of how slow this system is -- on December 31, Samsung asked for a year to fix it.
In its defense, Samsung said cybersecurity researchers at NowSecure didn't fully explain the problem in November.
'We learned about the full extent this past week,' Samsung told CNNMoney.
NowSecure advised Samsung Galaxy users to avoid insecure Wi-Fi, ditch their phones, and call their cell phone carriers to pressure them into a quick fix.

Hoog said they made the vulnerability public because the pressure was just too great. The cybersecurity firm had advised companies for half a year, unable to tell them that their employees and managers were are serious risk of being spied on by hackers.

'We needed to inform them about the risk,' he told CNNMoney. 'It would be naive to think other entities [such as governments and cybermafias] would not be capable of finding this and executing it.'
