In the interest of full disclosure, I tried about 30 times, both with my rooted/modded phone, and with a bone-dry stock phone, and I couldn't replicate it.īut, just because I couldn't do it, doesn't mean it isn't real and dangerous.
Also, it doesn't matter what launcher you are using, or whether you are using a lockscreen replacement or not. Sean does note that you may need to do this multiple times to get it to work. If you did this correctly, the next time you press Power, your device will go directly to your homescreen.Immediately after hitting Home, press the Power button.
When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.If successful, not only will this exploit open up the full contents and capabilities of your S3, but it will disable the lock screen completely until the phone is rebooted. Yesterday, Sean McMillan of Full Disclosure opened up the initial exploit and discovered something much scarier.
Unfortunately, the fun doesn't end there. While this is something that should be fixed, it doesn't actually allow you to do much, so really, it's not all that scary. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.
