S-Health, does it show uninstall Updates? if so then Uninstall updates otherwise disabling it is your only option...

DO NOT UPDATE S-Health... the new update is linked to Knox...

read What's new in GooglePlay S-Health...
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
S-Health is always linked to KNOX. I faced an issue with my Note4 as well. I had to download an add-on for Private Mode and S-Health for them to work.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Dante63:
Does it say "unable to open ... the app has been compromised according to security policy 5.0 bla bla bla"?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
Yeah something like that.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Dante63:
Uninstall the updates if possible and do not update it...

Knox was never Enabled for S-Health until now...

What you're talking about is probably securestorage set true and we change it to false to use Xposed on the phone...
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
Yes yes that exactly! I forgot what it was called.

I just re-enabled S-Health, and guess what.. it worked lol. It had removed all it's updates when I disabled it but now it functions perfectly lol.

Wait for proper root to come out. It can be fixed like the Private Folder was fixed on Note 5.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Dante63:
Note 5 private folder solution wasn't related to Knox...

It's also about secure storage must be set to false with removing few files from '/data/' to make it work...

Knox is Knox, I have been researching all over the internet on how to bypass it with no hope...

Samsung Note 7 has started to use Knox for real this time, including S-Health update, which is why no one should update while Knox is tripped...

The only Logical Solution is to rewrite Knox app and replace the original one in such way to bypass "this device has been compromised"

want to comfirm, its work to 930fd or not?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
Nope it doesn't work. Wait until a new patch is released.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
I'm looking at N930FD right now, can you guys try flashing this:

https://idlekernel.com/twrp/gracelte/twrp-3.0.2-0-b1-gracelte.tar.md5

Odin here: https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.12.3.zip (pre-scanned, configured, and tested in sandbox)

If it at least gets you to the teamwin loading screen then it'll give me some peace of mind.

Still waiting on kernel source from Samsung though.

If it flashes, and you want to return to completely stock, I have firmware available here for F/FD (they use the same FW, but that is FD CSC): https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/firmware/gracelte_SM-N930FD/

There is an AP full (system+boot+recovery) as well as AP BOOT (boot only), and AP RECOVERY (recovery only).
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] charlypaez:
For SM-930F nothing yet? Thanks for the info master!
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
if u want to try it u can, theyre basically the same device, and when twrp is official they will be using the same twrp

but this is not ready for release, it is only to test the current device tree and make sure the devices can boot unsigned firmware

as it is not a kernel modified for twrp, it will not support ADB, MTP, NTFS, and possibly other functions

also want to make sure u folks know going in that twrp will probably not support samsung's encryption for a very long time. this isn't entirely so bad, as exynos uses software FDE encryption and you'll probably achieve a good bit better performance and battery life by disabling it anyways.

i have started working on it though by placing all the exynos crypto libs and daemon in the device tree, we still need to engineer a cryptfs interface that can communicate with exynos keystores (it looks like samsung is maybe just using a modified version of qualcomm's cryptfs_hw)
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] charlypaez:
Understood master... I will receive tomorrow my sm-930F and I can test this for you!
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] i23u8:
It successfully flashes on the first try but it doesn't boot to the TeamWin loading page even after several restarts and retries.

It is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note7 Powered by Android logo with the blue led light on.

Couldn't pull the adb logs though.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Arghhh stupid back button on mouse made me double post. See next post.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Model? Current FW version? OEM Unlock checked in Dev options?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] i23u8:
Mine is a N930FD, fw is BPH6, OEM unlock checked in Dev options.

Thanks!
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
ok flash https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/...H6/AP_N930FXXU1BPH6_RECOVERY_UNSIGNED.tar.md5 and see if stock recovery will still boot

this will simply remove the signature, and if it works it should say "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" and "Set Warranty Bit: 1" and boot into stock recovery

if it gets into stock recovery with those messages then we're safe, just means need to wait for kernel sources as maybe stock kernel has some kind of weird option that breaks twrp ramdisk boot

if it does not, and continues to bootloop after flashing that, then the device is bootloader locked and thats like totally not cool dude and i'll just wander off and buy something else <_<
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] i23u8:
I actually did this with Note 3, 4 and 5. I already learned my lesson in waiting some more for the geniuses to figure out "and i'll just wander off and buy something else <_< "

It flashed successfully. Booting into Download mode confirms that it was successfully flashed because it shows Current Binary as Custom. Rebooting

into recovery, it said Installing System Update. It then successfully booted into stock recovery.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
But does it show the SEANDROID IS NOT ENFORCING immediately before entering stock recovery? This is important part because it could have just reflashed the signature if it failed to boot the first time.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] i23u8:
Yes sir it did. I forgot to mention that lol. It does say Recovery is not SEANDROID ENFORCING.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
yay ok throwing down the cash and just waiting for OSRC then =) thanks for your help!
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] turilo:
So you think this be best route to take for unlocked bootloader the FD variant? Will all bands work here in Canada?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
FD or F is fine, I choose FD for option of dual sim they should support same bands. (20 GB for $95 then $0.01/MB tablet plan SIM + basic voice plan for calling SIM if I ever go for it, otherwise I'd probably be shoving my 256 GB microSD in that 2nd SIM slot)

They use the exact same hardware and kernel configuration/dtb, with the addition of extra sim slot connector, so custom ROMs if they exist will work on both.

According to https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/A34rB/samsung-sm-n930fd-galaxy-note-7-duos-td-lte the N930F/FD support my Tbaytel/Rogers and Bell bands at least, which are 1, 2, 4, 5, 7. (most of my area is B4 AWS city and B5 rural)

I think 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 should cover all of Canada, and it has all of ATT & T-Mobile's bands covered as well in case we travel to the US.

You can use *#0011# in dialer on Samsung phones to check what band you're on currently. First line, ex. RPC:IDLE, Band:5

Is there a way to get my stock Recovery back without wiping the storage? Appreciate your support.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Don't know why anything would wipe your storage.

I'd be surprised that you couldn't just boot your system to get stock recovery back, as it should generate a fresh stock recovery from your factory boot image.

Otherwise just flash https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/...30FXXU1BPH6/AP_N930FXXU1BPH6_RECOVERY.tar.md5 on an F/FD model. I don't have Korean firmware.
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
I didn't get the part where you said "Boot your system to get stock recovery"

Do I flash this md5 into AP using Odin ?

Many thanks,

So if kernel sources are out root will be possible?
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] jcadduono:
Yes. Root should already be possible but no one's created a fully working CF-Autoroot boot image yet. I would imagine the G930F one could be tweaked to accomplish this in the meantime (replace kernel Image and dtb.img with N930F).

Chainfire's work isn't really my forte, so I'll leave that to him or somebody else. :P
[Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Rafik Jabbour:
But just to confirm, if you root then you won't be able to update the phone's software. Am I right?

If yes, do we need to update the phone's software? and if yes, how then ?

Hey guys,

I am new to Xiaomi Devices, Just got a Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon variant from India. Let me get to the issue at hand. I have tried to get to EDL mode and i have been successful, but the issue is that the device is then not staying in EDL mode, but rather its rebooting after 5 or 6 secs of EDL mode. Is there any way to solve this?

Shut down phone - then volume down + power to fastboot - then connect to PC - Then boot to EDL by double clicking a .bat file in my pc

everything goes well and boots to EDL mode - led blinks for 5 - 6 times, then mi logo appears, phone has shut down automatically

[MENTION=649003]jedld[/MENTION]

Nice guide, just a few things though.

I don't think it's really necessary to use the file contexts as we're building a system image and all permissions should remain intact.

Regarding the chunk size, Chainfire created sgs4ext4fs to deal with this, it just needs to be run afterwards on the sparse image to patch the headers.

What is the source for the make_ext4fs patch or did you create this patch?

Lastly some people may prefer to use ODIN to flash.

So maybe you could add to the guide that the image can be repacked into a ODIN flashable tar using 7-zip.

By the way the guide will work for the T280 too, so you may want to add that.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
I remember encountering a boot loop without that, let me check again and I'll update the guide.

Just applied the following patch on latest aosp sources:

https://gist.github.com/jedld/4f388496bda03b349f5744f367749a67

There is a magic number used which I can't figure out, the value is different between SM-T285 ROMS coming from different regions.

Nice to hear about sgs4ext4fs though, probably wouldn't be able to know based on the problem I encountered that the tool also applies unless someone pointed it out.

What about those custom roms? As far as i can see we can use modified stock rom. Can we go anywhere with that? And can someone explain how to make external storage bigger with SD?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] TopTongueBarry:
SM-T285M with locked bootloader - research ...

First, I have a SM-T285M which is a Galaxy Tab A6 7.0 LTE with a COO CSC. and is factory unlocked (UB as Samsung notates it these days. It's got North and South America LTE bands, and unfortunately it also has a locked bootloader just like the T285 and the T280.

Hear me out on this theory I have come up with ....

I recently stumbled across mention of Samsung pushing out an OTA at some point that broke root at the kernel level forever. I read Chainfire has created a patch that fixes this on some models. Unfortunately not the T28x's due to the locked BL.

While looking for stock ROMS, I discovered differences in the pit files and the size of hidden.img that occurred between 3/2016 and 4/2016 releases leading me to believe that's when they locked the bootloader and pushed the root killing kernel ota to the T285M. The hidden.img was shrunk to a little more than the boot.img and the PIT was modified beginning with the 4/26 release

My T285M was built on 4/7/2016 and now having the new pit and hidden.img, any attempts at ODIN flashing of the 3/23 factory rom (3/10 build) crashes out at hidden.img. I figure I will be unable to go back to the 3/10 build unless I use the pit for that 3/10 build - I'm not ready to play that deep on this .... yet, I don't even know if I am on to anything at this point. but maybe someone else wants to ....

Take a peek at the contents of the three released roms for the T285M in the capture below and if anyone thinks theres hope in getting to root by going back to 3/10 build and PIT I can point you to the three files for experimentation, or even better to get to chainfire if this is doable.

BTW jedid GREAT debloat for the T285. I'm using the system.img on my T285M , I hated Touchwiz so much, now all we need is root. see if these tell you anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
There are a number of things we can already do with a custom system.img like debloat, enable universal sd r/w, customizing apps, probably theming and fonts are also possible. Hopefully more people can come up with mods.

Unfortunately we need root/unlocked boot.img to do important things to fix the weakness of this device like changing partition sizes, enable apps2sd support, xposed framework, having customizable cpu performance governors/overclocking etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] klemen241:
i was wondering the same thing, if ther is any chance of unlocking it on earlier versions.
