Hacking codes Of Android Mobile


1. Complete Information About your Phone 
*#*#4636#*#*
 This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:
Phone information
Battery information
Battery history
Usage statistics

2. Factory data reset

*#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:
Google account settings stored in your phone
System and application data and settings
Downloaded applications
It'll NOT remove:
Current system software and bundled application
SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.
Note: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.

3. Format Android Phone

  *2767*3855#

Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
Note: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.

4. Phone Camera Update

*#*#34971539#*#*

This code is used to get information about phone camera. It shows following 4 menus:
Update camera firmware in image (Don't try this option)
Update camera firmware in SD card
Get camera firmware version
Get firmware update count
WARNING: Never use the first option otherwise your phone camera will stop working and you'll need to take your phone to service center to reinstall camera firmware.

5. End Call/Power

*#*#7594#*#*

This one is my favorite one. This code can be used to change the "End Call / Power" button action in your phone. Be default, if you long press the button, it shows a screen asking you to select any option from Silent mode, AirPlane mode and Power off.
You can change this action using this code. You can enable direct power off on this button so you don't need to waste your time in selecting the option.

6. File Copy for Creating Backup

*#*#273283*255*663282*#*#*

This code opens a File copy screen where you can backup your media files e.g. Images, Sound, Video and Voice memo.

This code can be used to enter into Service mode. You can run various tests and change settings in the service mode.

Android Is The Number 1 Target Of Hackers



If you are an android users, you could be or might be the next victim of hackers, According to a report by Mcafee, Google Android has became the number 1 target of hackers, The Mcafee report also says that the recent attacks from hacktivists Anonymous and Lulzsec security helped in driving a massive increase in Online attacks.
According to the threat report the reason why google android is the number 1 target, is because google is not monitoring the active distribution of mobile apps. As a result of which android users are being the victim of massive malware attacks.


What kind of Malware is being distributed?

According to Mcafee report, the android malware takes over the identity of android user, hence causing an identity theft attack, Once the malware has been installed, the hacker has complete access to any kind of information including personal data, GPS logs and carrier and billing code information.

According to Dave Marcus the Director Of Mcafee Security Labs:

“There is malware ending up on Android phones that is coming out of China and is being used to steal the identity of Android users, Once hackers take control of an Android device, they have access to any kind of information on there including personal data, GPS logs and carrier and billing code information.”
According to me the reason why android is being targeted the most is because most android users do not bother to use any antivirus at all, or if they use it, they do not update it all. As a reason of which it becomes fairly easy for hackers to promote and distribute malware, I don't think that there are any zero days being used, A simple trojan is being used with a little bit code obfuscation to bypass the antiviruses.

How Can I protect My Self From Android Malware?

It's simple install a good antivirus and update it regularly, New malware come up every day, so you should make sure that your antivirus is updated, Plus avoid downloading any untrusted mobile apps which you are not sure about. It would be nice if you could do a little research on the google before installling any google app.
