Audio file opened by itself?
This morning I woke up to the alarm on my phone, as I snoozed it I noticed that the Total Commander player had a notification open, with an audio file open but on hold.

This morning I woke up to the alarm on my phone, as I snoozed it I noticed that the Total Commander player had a notification open, with an audio file open but on hold. When I tapped on play I got the Total Commander warning about Stagefright and asking me to confirm I really wanted to play the file, to which I answered no. In the process I unfortunately also involuntarily closed TC before I could fully see what the file being played was, but I noticed it was from a fsck.k9 folder (so like an attachment I guess). However I haven't received any audio files in attachment in the last few days and data, wifi and bluetooth were all off during the night. I have done a scan with Bitdefender which hasn't evidenced any malware. I haven't installed any suspicious apps recently. Any ideas of what could have happened? Edit: Android 5.0.2 on a Moto E Edit2: I do use K-9 for email (hence my reference to audio attachments)

According to this xda post the Elephone P6000 Pro stock ROM is vulnerable to Stagefright. A Stagefright detector app confirmed this on my phone. The Post links to this patch , but also mentions that the partitions do not match this phone. I tried both flashing the linked modified version, and moving the files manually into the system. However, the Stagefright detector app still shows that my phone is vulnerable to CVE-2015-6602. What else can I do to fix Stagefright vulnerability? ---------- **ls -l /dev/block/platform/*/by-name:** lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 cache -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 custom -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 expdb -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 flashinfo -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 frp -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 keystore -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 lk -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 logo -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 metadata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 nvdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p19 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 nvram -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 oemkeystore -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 para -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 proinfo -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 protect1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 protect2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 recovery -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 seccfg -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 secro -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 tee1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 tee2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 lrwxrwxrwx root root 2016-05-30 00:59 userdata -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 ---------- **Steps taken to move the files:** - Copy/paste using FX File Explorer with root addon - Checked Permissions (were already rw-r--r--)

Lollipop 5.1, completely safe from stagefright?

I am currently updating my Android phone (a Moto G) to Lollipop 5.1. I previously had taken action to prevent Stagefright from happening to my phone (setting multimedia messages to only manual downloads). The update said that Lollipop 5.1 included a fix for Stagefright. I am wondering what this fix is and if my phone is now completely safe from Stagefright (i.e., I can set multimedia messages to automatic download again).

Can I get Stagefright from a friend?
So let's say my friend is infected with the Stagefright bug, if he sends me a video/sound will I get the virus too? Also, can voice messages on whatsapp be infected?

My HTC One M7 has been notifying me about a new update (v 7.18.111.35, Android Security Patch for *libstageFright*) for the past few months. And every time I try to install it, this is the result: enter image description here All I can do is reboot and the phone operates as normal. It's not rooted, not modded in any way and I did a data wipe/factory reset about a week ago, but still it won't install. My carrier is T-Mobile (although I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it) Does anyone have experience with this? And maybe have a solution?
