This article was inspired by a recent post on the FlexiSPY blog about FlexiSPY’s WeChat for Android feature from an interested reader who wanted to know how to root an Android phone. You can read that article here. Please remember also to read the full disclaimer at the end of this article as rooting an Android phone and the maintenance of their Android device is solely your responsibility.
Since the posting of this article, we have introduced The FlexiSPY Installation Service. Feel free to read through the rest of this post though if you don’t mind going through the rooting process yourself!
Now that we have got all that out the way we can get started!
FlexiSPY wants to help more customers get the most out of FlexiSPY’s Mobile Spy Software, which is we want to get more and more people using rooted Android phones.
We all know that Android phones are superb phones and offer much more versatility and customization options than other smartphone platforms on the market such as iPhone but this comes at a price.
Rooting.
The SuperSU rooting dialog asking for root permission for a program on an Android phone
Rooting is performed by you, the user, performing a software tweak that grants you root access to the phone file system of their Android phone.
But you may be wondering what is root access?
Root access is a computing term associated mainly with the Linux and OSX operating systems that you normally find on computers.
The Windows equivalent would be an Administrator account.
In essence, having root access on an Android phone allows you to do absolutely anything you wish to the Android phone in terms of installing software, configuring the phone and such.
FlexiSPY wants to get you rooted.
After all it is the art of rooting that allows you to really get the most out of FlexiSPY for Android.
FlexiSPY for Android can capture IM messages from many popular clients such as LINE and Facebook
FlexiSPY for Android allows you to listen in tocalls in real-time
FlexiSPY for Android allows you to listen in to the phone’s surroundings
That sure sounds tempting doesn’t it?
Remember to root the Android first before physically installing FlexiSPY for Android. This way you’ll be able to access all of our amazing features.
But don’t worry. Rooting is nearly not as hard as you think now that FlexiSPY is here to help!
Rooting not only allows you to get the most out of FlexiSPY, but many other popular Android applications are far better if you have rooted the phone.
For example, on a rooted Android phone the following applications, the same as FlexiSPY, become far more powerful and offer far more value to you as a customer.
Titanium Backup allows for automated system backups meaning that backing up the Android phone is so much simpler, easier and more comprehensive compared to backing up a non-rooted Android phone.
Metamorph allows you to change the theme of the entire phone. If you are bored with how the Android OS looks and have always wanted to change the software visually to then rooting and Metamorph is the answer.
AndGuardPro blocks annoying pop-up ads whilst browsing. We have all used or are using ad-blockers on our computers to avoid nasty viruses and such but, through rooting an Android phone, this is now possible on an Android phone too but only rooting makes it possible.
SSH Tunnel encrypts all internet traffic on your phone. Do you not want people to see your internet traffic and potentially see what you search for and your online activities whilst using an Android phone? Simply root the phone and install SSH Tunnel to start encrypting all network traffic on an Android phone to protect your privacy online.
Tasker allows you to automate tasks on an Android phone. This means that you can potentially, through rooting an Android phone and installing Tasker, automate the entire operation of the phone making using it so much simpler.
SetCPU allows you to control the speed and behavior of your Android phone’s CPU. It used to be that only computers made overclocking possible so that you could squeeze a bit more juice out of them and make them faster. Rooting has changed all that and just by simply rooting an Android phone and installing SetCPU you can make an Android phone perform even faster than you thought possible.
But all of these great features are only possible through rooting an Android phone first.

Our improved trial program will begin in 2017. Sign up to our mailing list to be informed when the program starts by clicking here.
Put the words Free, and Trial together and it’s guaranteed to get attention . In fact,” flexispy for free” or ‘free spyphone” are among the most popular search terms on our site.
Why is this? Are these people just freeloaders or is there something else we are missing.
There could be many reasons, but we think that a few bad spyphone vendors have made people mistrustful of the business as a whole. So we decided to prove to customers that FlexiSPY is the brand to trust when it comes to mobile device monitoring.
To do this, we will soon be offering one day FlexiSPY EXTREME licenses (We’re expecting to roll the new free trial program in early 2017, please subscribe to the blog or follow us through our social media to stay up to date on this), absolutely free, with no credit card required.
They say you learn more about yourself from your critics than your fans. That’s why, while we enjoy being told we have great products and customer support, we are more interested in the one single criticism we get regularly.
The criticism being…, „FlexiSPY is expensive“
It’s like being a super hot woman that men wont approach because they think she’s stuck up.
But is this true? We had meticulously designed our products and price points to be the best value, so why did this perception exist. As we were coming off the back of a spyphone survey we carried out, in which over 1700 new customers participated, the time was right to do something about it.
Some Background First
The current FlexiSPY line up currently comes in two versions – PREMIUM and EXTREME, retailing at 149 and 349 respectively. 349 dollars may seem like a lot to ask but when you look closely, its great value, and EXTREME actually continues to outsell PREMIUM.
However, for those people who only hear of FlexiSPY secondhand, or listen to the misleading comparisons made by our competitors who compare their lower capability products against ours, its easy to understand why this perception exists.
WHY EXTREME IS PRICED AS IT IS
First let us explain why FlexiSPY EXTREME costs so much.
The reason, is that it does things that no other spyphone can, namely call interception and spy calls.
Call Interception, also known as Call Tapping lets you listen in to a phone conversation as it is happening. This is a tremendously difficult feature to develop, requiring a lot of time, access to a lot of different devices, and the resources to able to test on many international phone networks.
Spy Call is the ability to open the device microphone and listen to the device surroundings.And most importantly, this has to be done without any indication to the user or their callers.
No other spyphone product does Call Interception, and no other product does Spy Calls properly. Its tough to develop, its tough to make it work consistently across all the variations of hardware and firmware and its especially tough to test given there are over 300 GSM networks worldwide. This is an expensive thing to do.
And that’s why FlexiSPY EXTREME is priced at $349, because you cannot get this feature elsewhere. Comparing FlexiSPY EXTREME to mSpy or Stealthgenie is like comparing a linen jacket to a spacesuit. By their own admission Stealthgenie does not do call interception even though they advertise it – go figure.
So what is the right comparison to the other spy software products?
PREMIUM – A NO BRAINER
The answer is FlexiSPY PREMIUM.
We created PREMIUM to offer more features at a lower annual cost than any of the competition. We wanted to give comparison spyphone shoppers a no brainer choice. How many features, what annual cost – the answer is always PREMIUM. Comparison shoppers want the best bang for the buck, and don’t need every single tool available.
Currently priced at 149 USD, PREMIUM has 130 features, which is actually more than mSpy, Stealthgenie, Mobile Spy and Mobisteath have.
However, we are not perfect, and sometimes the competition do things better, and this came through in the spyphone survey. We were being told that we had the best features, the best quality and the best value, but the others had subscription plans that allowed a lower cost of entry, because everyone who wanted spy calls and call interception could not stretch to 349.
In business, its not wise to react to what the competition does, but when customers say something, you jump.
That’s why we will be introducing two things.
Payment Plans & Spyphone Builder
Firstly, we will have subscription plans that are flexible. Monthly, quarterly, bianual, and annual subscriptions will be introduced in january 2014.
The second thing we are introducing is our new spyphone builder. It’s a revolution in how you purchase spyphone software. We will explain this in an upcoming post, so if you want to find out, we suggest that you like us on Facebook.
We always take customers opinions seriously, so we ask you,

It seems like we’ve been waiting for ages for the damn untethered Jailbreak to be released for iOS7, but today it’s finally here. If you didn’t know, an untethered jailbreak is the the quick and easy solution for unlocking the full potential our iPhone Tracker Software There’s lots of guides out there on the internet filled with misinformation and links that contain viruses, etc. We didn’t want any of our customers to experience any issues with these malicious robots so we made this super legit and easy guide to jailbreaking ios7.0.4.
Untethered iOS7 JailBreak – Here’s How To Do It
Get their iPhone in your hand. It must be running iOS 7.x- 7.0.4 only.
Make sure you have access to a PC (For The Mac Guide – Click Here)
If you’ve met these requirements, you should be good to go, so let’s start the jailbreaking process.
Download the evasi0n Windows jailbreak software from the link here.
Connect their iPhone to your computer. Make sure it has no passcode lock and iTunes is closed.
Right-click the evasi0n file (evasi0n7.exe) and then click ‘Run as Administrator’.
Click the Jailbreak button to get started.
Wait for the evasi0n software to perform the jailbreak.
You will be asked to complete the jailbreak using their phone as shown below.
Unlock their iPhone and tap the new evasion 7 icon that is shown on the iPhone springboard and wait for evasi0n to finish.
When the jailbreak process is finished their iPhone will restart.
As a result of a successful jailbreak Cydia will now be present on their iPhone meaning that the jailbreak is now complete.
ALL DONE!
Here are a few things to remember now that their phone has been jailbroken.
Do not restore the phone using iTunes – you will lose the jailbreak and you will need to redo it Do not upgrade to the latest iOS – it may not be possible to jailbreak that version Do not reset the iPhone settings as this is the same as a factory reset and you will lose the jailbreak
Please understand that FlexiSPY is not responsible for the jailbreak process or the evasi0n software and that you are entirely responsible for the jailbreaking process.
Now that you have jailbroken their iPhone isn’t it time you finally installed FlexiSPY on it?
We would like to thank the evad3rs team for all their hard work in making the jailbreak happen.
If you are having issues with the jailbreak process or have any questions about it get in touch with in the comments.
After giving our customers the power to monitor cellphones with our iphone tracker, and mobile spy software for the better part of decade, it’s been clear for some time that there are a lot of other folks besides mobile users who could benefit from our experience and know-how. Specifically, a full blown monitoring solution for Windows, OSX and Linux.
It was while researching this that we discovered that while keyloggers did indeed grab keystrokes, they did a poor job of actually turning this information into something useful, namely, the identification of passwords.
Trying to find a password in a page full of keystroke data is like trying to find a beer in the Sahara. So, on the way to the full desktop monitoring solution, we’ve been developing this keylogger for Mac and Windows we’re calling Project Blueblood.
Taking It A Step Further
Like other keyloggers it detects every stroke made on a keyboard. But Blueblood takes it a step further by the use of rules that are designed to identify scenarios that are likely to contain passwords. When this happens, Blueblood takes a screen snapshot and delivers it for review. This added layer of intelligence filters out the time wasting keystroke junk and zeroes in on the text that can make the difference between routine monitoring and gathering valuable facts. We believe that Blueblood is the first keylogger to give you this kind of sniper-scope text capture capability.
OTHER KEYLOGGERS DON’T GET THE JOB DONE
Other keyloggers deliver raw or lightly formatted captured text that you have to sift through to find anything useful. Examples of the criteria are to watch applications or web pages, and narrow in on them by specifying application domain names, page titles, URL substrings, length of input and so on. When scenarios occur that trigger any of these rules, Blueblood records it, flags it and sends it off to you along with a screen shot of the login page so you can see the password as it was originally typed in.
Clearing The Cache
One interesting problem we found during our research was the issue of cached passwords. Clearly, no keylogger can capture something that is not typed in, so we put our mind to fixing this. We designed Blueblood to let you specify individual applications anddomains to be cleared of cached information, forcing the user to retype their password. This granular approach means that the user is unlikely to become suspicious as only one app or domain will ask them to enter their password again.
Blueblood’s design point is to clear only cookies of a specified website or application, and not the whole browser. And you can set it to watch only previously visited websites or all browsers. What all this means is that you’ll spend less time and effort getting exactly the information you need.
Release Date
Blueblood is currently planned for a January launch, with the full monitoring solution, called Redblood following in March. Give us your e-mail and we’ll inform you the minute Blueblood is available, AND you’ll get a 50% discount on your purchase just for signing up.
One of the most popular features of our mobile monitoring software is its ability to capture messages such as Facebook, LINE, WeChat, Skype, WhatsApp and SMS. Apps such as LINE and WeChat may not be big in the west, but they are huge in other parts of the world. That’s why FlexiSPY now translates!
It’s a sign of increasing globalization that we get requests to translate Facebook messages, translate LINE message and translate SMS from one language to another. Examples include parents of bilingual children or employers who work in multinational corporations and deal with foreign team members or clientson a regular basis.
Sure, translations systems are available – Google Translate being a fantastic example of what’s possible with machines. But even so, when it comes to translating language pairs that include, English, Thai, Tagalog and Russian, automated translations do a pretty terrible job.
Lets Take A Look At These Translations
Russian Google Translation Fail
Spanish Google Translation Fail
As you can see, you simply cannot expect a machine to translate slang, dialects, grammar or even the latest text abbreviation.
A BETTER WAY
We thought there had to be a better way to approach this and the answer was clear: Human Translations.
One great asset we have at FlexiSPY is our international staff, with over seven different languages being spoken in our offices. So, we decided to integrate a human translation service directly into the FlexiSPY portal as a proof of concept project.
Here’s What We Came Up With
We added the ability for the FlexiSPY portal to detect the language type of any message that is captured and see if there is a translation service available. If there is, it will display a ‚translate‘ option. When selected, this option sends the phrase to a translator. When the translation is complete, the message changes to ‚translation available‘ which the user can click to see the translation.
The user pays for the translation by purchasing translation credits.
The system is already available via ThaiSpy, a company who is licensing our technology to do Thai to English translations of Facebook, LINE and other messages, and we plan to introduce it to FlexiSPY soon.
Here’s A Screenshot Of The Translation Service In Action
What languages would you like to see included in the next version of FlexiSPY?
Spyphone vendors everywhere got an early Christmas present today with the announcement of the jailbreak for iOS7.
A Bit Of Background First.
Without a jailbreak, it’s not possible to create the kind of powerful spy software, like FlexiSPY, that can run undetected. In fact, without a jailbreak, only the most trivial applications are possible, but there are only so many Flashlight programs the market can bear!
So, because there was no jailbreak for iOS7, for the last few months, anyone who wanted to spy on an iPhone was out of luck. To make things worse, over 70 % of iPhone users had already upgraded to iOS7. iOS7 was not only un-jailbreakable (is there such a word?), but could also not be downgraded to the 6.x versions that would have allowed the installation of monitoring software.
A Pretty Sucky Situation.
Update
The engineers did it. FlexiSPY is now available for iOS7, check it out here – and thanks for your patience.
You’ve seen it before, a website absolutely loaded with practically an army of „as seen on – NBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, BBC, CSNBC, BB – these sites seem to have half their page filled with these logo’s and often times, the logo’s don’t lead anywhere, there was never any article written about that website to begin with, it didn’t even have permission to use the logo of that site. You may have recently heard about Samsung’s Astroturfing fiasco where Samsung was hiring contractors to write forum posts that praised Samsung devices, trashed competitors, and downplayed bad news. While that’s definitely not cool, it doesn’t come close to the lies going on in the SpyPhone world.
Why the logo jacking
The reason why companies are now logo jacking is to exploit the theory of social proof. Social Proof is basically this: if you see a person do something safely and successfully, you’ll feel more secure in doing that same thing. Where doubts might have been, they are no longer as prevalent when you see that the action it is possible. The problem occurs when the social proof is bought, or faked, then this proof is no longer accurate, and people are being lied to – problems start happening.
Examining mSpy’s social proof
Now with this understanding of what logojacking is, we’ll take a look into the SpyPhone realm to see if there’s any logojacking going on. The site being looked at will be mSpy, starting with the business testimonials banner on their home page.
Here’s A Picture of Their Banner
This banner references CNN, CNBC, The New York Times, and BBC. It also shows off some customer testimonials, from three guys.
The Cues of Scam Sites
There are cue’s that prospective customers on a product site should take into consideration when trying to determine if the product is legitimate or not.
Things to look out for,
A forged Better Business Bureau assurance Seal leading to a real looking report
knowing this, I started to research the testimonials located on the mSpy page.
I first tried to click on the images in the banner to read the supposed articles about mSpy, but I was unable to, turns out it was just a banner image that someone put together with photo editing software. So, I searched for each individual reference to try to find the supposed articles, manually.
The affiliated logos search
CNN – I searched the CNN website with the Keywords: mSpy to try to find any related article. I was unable to find any article mentioning mSpy.
The New York Times – I searched the NYT website with mSpy but was unable to find any article mentioning mSpy. A list of Spy articles were the result of the search, but none of those articles mentioned mSpy.
CNBC – Searching the CNBC website, I couldn’t find any article that linked to mSpy.
BBC – I searched the BBC website, and I couldn’t find any article that mentioned mSpy.
CrunchBase – I searched the CrunchBase website and found that mSpy created a profile on the CrunchBase website. While CrunchBase doesn’t directly reference mSpy, and putting the logo of CrunchBase on the mSpy testimonial section IS misleading, it doesn’t qualify as logojacking.
What it means
mSpy hasn’t been mentioned in any of the corporations that they claimed they had been referenced in. The only website that I was able to find mSpy information on was CrunchBase, where mSpy created a corporate profile.
Customer Testimonials
mSpy also features several customer testimonials. The reviews look like they might be legitimate, although it should be noted that it’s verycommon for companies to outsource people to write reviews for them, and we’ve seen that mSpy has a track record for faking references – So, it’s not out of the question. If the customer testimonials ARE in fact legit, then kudos to them. Otherwise, with their history of lies, prospective customers might want to think twice.
You would be forgiven for thinking that mobile spy software has been around since God was a boy. Considering the rate of change since the Internet took over our lives, one could argue that you are right!
The reality, however, is that it’s only been ten years since the world first saw a commercial service allowing you to spy on a mobile becoming available on a subscription business model. That’s a pretty cheeky concept when you think about it 😉
So for those of you who stay awake at night asking questions like “what’s the history of mobile spy software,“ this article is for you.
We did a little research and then compiled an infographic showing the emergence of the major players in the spyphone business, and a chronology of the release our products.
Here’s How We Did It.
We established the date of the establishment of spyphone vendors from the release of their websites because that’s when they could actually sell anything.
Our first step was to look at the domain research website to get the date of the domain name registration – but domain registration alone is only a part of the story because a site can lay dormant or the registration may predate the current owner’s involvement.
So we also took a look at the WayBack Machine (http://archive.org/web/), an online archive listing over 360 billion entries going back to 1996. The WayBack Machine crawls websites all over the Internet at periodic intervals, documenting and archiving historical points in time.
This gives us a snapshot of how long a company or a website has actually been around, and sometimes what they were doing at a specific period. WayBack Machine features a calendar display of individual capture dates.
You’ll notice FlexiSPY predates all of the competition, and we are proud to have inspired so many imitators – after all, it’s the ultimate flattery. Yet being the oldest or original does not guarantee anything, but our offer to buy back a competitor’s product surely speaks for itself.

FlexiSPY Software is now available for Android 4.3
But – feel free to read the rest of this post.
So you Want to spy on their brand new Galaxy Note 3 running OS 4.3, but you haven’t found any compatible or genuine spyphone software that works with OS 4.3?
Don’t worry, while we’re not there yet, FlexiSPY and our team of talented developers are hard on the case.
The Development Process
When creating spying software for Android there are two elements our dev’s have to consider.
What features work on a phone that is not rooted (e.g. any Android phone from a store).
What features work on a phone that is rooted (e.g. an Android phone modified after purchase).
Usually on an unmodified Android phone the very basics of our spying features are possible;
Capturing contacts, SMS, MMS, GPS, Media (images, audio, video,) and capturing browser history.
But it’s when an Android phone has been rooted that FlexiSPY can really get creative and useful.
If rooted, we can capture Facebook, LINE, WeChat, Listen in on their phone calls, listen to their phone surroundings, and so much more.
It Takes Time
Unfortunately it takes a lot longer to get features working on a rooted platform than on a non-rooted one, and Android devices, especially the most popular ones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S4) need to be rooted when running on the latest OS version.
One handset may be rooted immediately after it is launched.
Another may take weeks.
Some may take months.
We just have to keep our eyes on the rooting community to see which handsets are the first to be rooted and then we start from there – we also let you know via our social media when the newest roots are out, so follow us!
Let’s Be Clear
FlexiSPY COULD release something right now for Android 4.3 but it would be a non-root-release only. We aren’t satisfied with the lack of capability you get with non-rooted phones because our customers aren’t satisfied. They want what we are famous for, the spyphone monitoring solution that’s the best on the market.
