Thanks for that info.
I have a star n9000 with the same problem. Any idea how I root it? so I can follow your advice.

Hi blipsdad,

I googled your N9000 and it seams to have the same MTK6589; so I guess that rooting would work just like it did for the N9599. Have a look here:

This is what I've done and it worked perfectly.

Uupay trojan as playstore app burnt in system ROM Star N9599T

Found the uupay.d trojan today on mine after it was reported (e.g. on this german site which I consider as reliable source: http://m.heise.de/newsticker/meldun...gesoftware-auf-China-Smartphones-2221792.html) to be preinstalled on star n 9500 - so I suspect it's the same here with the 9599... The trojan is in the google play store app and the dataservice firmware.

I used G Data Internet Security as available via playstore to check.

Can anyone else pls check to see if it is in all our n9599s?

Tx, lupiro

Yes I found this a while back its a fake Google playstore but called just play store.
You can disable it only under system>APPs> find play store and disable along with SMSreg all so nasty.
Looking at getting a clean ROM as it looks like its added by a device that adds this mail ware by the Chinese seller.

So any new rom coming up for the star n9599(t) series?

 

[nepukjon]

Just picked up a N9599. Are there any ROMs available for it?

Also wanted to ask, as it comes with a modified Android 4.2.2 is there anyway to install a vanilla Android version over the top of it? Whether it be 4.2.2 or newer?

Did the check for the Trojan but didnt find anything on my phone, so happy days!

Framaroot also works.....

.... with the 'boromir' option/exploit (maybe others too) on the N9599T. It's certainly the quickest option.
