mcbpete Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 This code *2767*3855# can be used to trigger the reset for a Galaxy SIII, according to Twitter user @pof. Embedding it in a simple frame (such as ) will automatically trigger a non-user initiated factory reset of the device, he added. Thankfully, simply browsing a website with the code embedded will not trigger the reset, but opening a message via QR, NFC or WAP Push SMS will. When the website link opens, it starts the wipe.

Guest the anonymous forumite Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 does this apply for Galaxy tabs ? Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/75823-samsung-exploit-found/#findComment-1882066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Apparently any devices without Samsung's Touchwiz overlay, like the Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S aren't susceptible, not sure about the tablets though ...

soma333 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yesterday I received a random text that was mass-mailed to a bunch of other folks from an unfamiliar number and the body of the text was this very random link.

mcbpete Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I wondered what the update was the other day to my phone as it didn't appear to do anything - apparently it was to fix the exploit days before it was even reported - http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-confirms-galaxy-s3-already-updated-ussd-exploit-fix Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures I haven't eaten a Wagon Wheel since 07/11/07... ilovecubus.co.uk - 25ml of mp3 taken twice daily.
