[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
I switched back to Nova from Action 3. Mainly because of seriously lag on Action 3 (anyone else experience that?)

Difference between Nova & Action in terms of speed and performance is like a Thoroughbred vs a Donkey.

BUT I was very reluctant to switch because I miss these 4 things dearly:

1. I set up Action to swipe right for YouTube.

2. Quick bar is incredibly useful.

3. Shutters--mostly swipe up on Chrome icon to reveal bookmarks

4. Swipe right screen edge -- reveal quick page.

***Is there anyway to reproduce some of these things on Nova? Like maybe a widget to replace Action launcher's quickbar? Thanks

Hello, i was rooted for the past month and decided to go back to stock,

after flashing stock that i downloaded from SamFrim to my Region(Israel) i can't use the Samsung apps, they say im rooted.

i did restore my apps and settings from my samsung cloud, could this be the issue?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] baophucdinh31:
may be because it tripped the knox counter. But i believe that only stop you from using samsung pay. Maybe try re-flash the stock. or use different source? samsung-update?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gilad215:
do i need to wipe the internal storage? i didn't do that before.

also i flashed the updated stock firmware, not the one that came with the phone.

could this picture help to identify the real stock frimware? [IMG="firmware"]http://i.imgur.com/oXNO42f.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
If you performed a factory reset, and flashed stock firmware from SamFirm, you will no longer be rooted.

However, your Knox status is tripped to 0x1 (instead of 0x0) permanently. This cannot be changed, you will no longer be able to use Knox, or any application protected by Knox such as Samsung Pay, Samsung Health, Secure Folder.. etc.

Your warranty is also void, since a Knox status of 0x1 voids the warranty and is checked at every repair center.

You are not able to reset the knox status, ever. But, some methods exist to fool apps to think that it wasn't tripped to use Samsung Health etc using custom roms / Magisk etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gilad215:
Can anyone confirm this? i saw some threads on reddit on people who flashed stock again and managed to use Knox applications again.

man i wish i knew this before..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
As I said, you can use Magisk Hide to trick some apps, but the Knox status will always remain tripped.

Aka if you unroot and remove magisk, you will (again) not be able to use those apps.

And there is no guarantee that Samsung won't patch the apps to break Magisk Hide.

Knox status is a hardware fuse that gets permanently tripped.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TheFrozen4:
It's true. And it is also heavily frowned upon by the community as it serves no purpose. Most apps can be replaced by other 3rd party apps, but specificaly samsung pay is ofcourse made by samsung and can not be replaced. Best thing you can do is keep using a non-stock rom that hides your knox (most do) so you can continue to use your apps that check for the knox-status.

Don't stare yourself blind on the loss of warranty. Samsung does not make consumer laws and they have to follow your local laws in this, no matter what your knox status is and what they want you to believe.

In general, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just remember for your next phone that Samsung is not the first choice for power users who like to root and take full ownership of their devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gilad215:
Thank you for your words stranger, i will not apologize for wanting control
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] evo4g63t:
In the US software modifications will not cause denial of warranties UNLESS the software modifications can be proven in court to have caused the hardware failure.

Knox is the dumbest move Samsung has done in recent memory. It was originally designed for integrity for businesses who wanted to use an Android phone with extra security. I really wonder how successful this was vs the headache it's caused for other users.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Dark Elderyn:
I have an S7 Edge and never did root in it, but when installing the Nougat ZTO rom of Brazil it triggered the Knox Ox1, I took my device in the technical assistance and they refused by the hands in him, never I did root, I still have 2 months of guarantee So I made a complaint on a site here in Brazil and Samsung will exchange my cell phone card courtesy.

Your cell phone happened the same thing that happened to mine, look for a consumer protection organization and use your rights to have the repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
Knox is the greatest thing Samsung made.

Businesses need solutions like Knox to maintain integrity and manage employee phones.

In addition, for the consumers, it enables advanced access to the firewall and such without root, for apps like AdHell and DisconnectPro to exist and block ads without root.

Like it or not, a rooted device is a compromised device. There is no telling if a device that was ever rooted and tampered with is safe anymore, for businesses this is not a joke.

You have to remember that people who root their smartphones are an incredibly small minority.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bxperiaz3:
Hi, I bought an s8 with stock firmware flashed onto it and the knox is tripped. Little bit sickened because I didn't know this at the time of buying it and of course have only recently discovered the importance of Knox in relation to certain apps and services that Samsung provides. My question is, is it possible to update the firmware to the lastest version OTA or will it just keep saying I have the latest version installed? lastly is my phone technically rooted even though it has stock firmware? Now that knox is tripped anyway,should I just go ahead and use a custom rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tasked28m:
But to flash a custom rom you have to have root privileges.

[EDIT] JUST noticed ZTO is the stock rom. Nevermind my post ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Teracotta:
I've reflashed older Galaxy S models and it reset the Knox counter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] silverkin:
So my warranty is void after going root on stock?

Is there any way to recover that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Teracotta:
The only way would be getting lucky, I guess.

You would have to flash the oldest available firmware via Odin and hope that works. I had success doing this with Galaxy S4 Minis but Knox was merely at the bootloader level back then, and was not fully developed as a security suite.

No Fortune 500 company would be caught dead using an Android phone. Knox isn't nearly enough to wipe away Android's bad reputation as being hackable, and this forum's existence is proof enough of that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Skander1998:
There is no way (or getting lucky) to bypass Knox when rooting since the S7.

Knox is hardware fuse, good luck 'resetting it'.

Except you're incorrect. Knox enabled phones are used in companies all over the world including the united states government. That's the point of certifying it by the NSA in the first place.

All data in knox secured partitions (containers) like Secure Folder (and all of enterprise knox enabled devices) is wiped if the device is rooted. There is absolutely ZERO way to bypass Knox tripping when rooting and tampering with the device.

If anything, this forum is proof that no one has been able to bypass Knox's detection in any meaningful way.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Xx spooks xX:
Had my O2 Steller (rebranded kaiser) with the original ROM for about a month and I cant believe it but i think its turned into a brick.

The problem I have is even though it gets a full signal I cannot send or recieve calls, texts or transmit any data. When the fault happens during a call I have the phone looking like it is connecting with the dialler but immediately ends the call.

I had initially thought it was maybe a bit of software causing the prob so removed any software I had installed , (HTC home Skype and google maps) this had no effect. Tried another sim card in case mine was faulty, still no effect.

Spoke to a mate who suggested that I try a hard reset and this seemed to give me a solution with it working for a day but today it started to go faulty again.

Anyone else had any similar issues similar?

Really peaved as O2 cannot get me a new Kaiser for some time as they initially said they were no longer available, then said they were out of stock but had no idea when they would get stock back in. Tried to palm me off with lower spec phones.

Main concern is getting my kaiser working again, so any help with this would be great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericc191:
id try a hard reset once more.. if that fails, call your service provider. they might be the cause of the problem
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericmcintire:
not techinally a brick since you can turn it off and on and see some functions... I might recommend completely flashing the rom... that might solve the problem if it is indeed a software problem

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squartascale:
Scubacat, if you can't operate anytime or enter download mode with power+volumeup button combination consider leaving the Note Pro bootlooping until you totally discharge battery or, alternatively but harder, you can remove it disassembling the back panel of the tablet (search a video on youtube to see the procedure): both ways you'll turn off the tablet. Wait for some minutes, than plug the tablet in charge and let it stay charging for some minutes; now you should have your occasion, as the first turn-on from a powered off tablet, to enter download mode and flash everything back as usual from a pc with odin (even stock rom if you like it).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beut:
Rooting or change ROM won't do anything if hardware is failing.

First, you need to reflash the stock ROM.

If you still have the boot loop , you need to look at battery connectors. Read the threat: " Flickering Screen " at the latest posts for information, the old ones are useless as most of them have wrong guessing or solutions.

Make sure your Selinux mode is set to permissive for it to

work.

After flashing the remote control zip.

Install ES file explorer and enable root access mode.

Tap on 3 bars on the top left side on ES file explorer.

Tap on Local

Then go to

Device > system > app >

LetvRemoteControl_preinst

Replace the apk in the folder with this apk.

Hey All,

I just got a new S7E from T-Mobile with Nougat pre-installed. I tried to root it using the method in this YOUTUBE Vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC9wpPUl7A0

When I go to update the Binaries in SuperUSer, it fails and then everytime i try and start SuperUser after that, i get a message that says the Binaries are occupied. If i repeat the entire process and skip the updating of the binaries, then the device gets rooted though obviously the binaries are not getting updated. I wonder if anyone has any ideas what is happening?

Anyhow, the main question is, I want to install a Stable ROM without Bloatware and also would like to install TWRP. It appears that TWRP does not play fair with the Snapdragon versions of this phone, is that correct?

Can you guys and gals recommend which ROMS are the cleanest and most stable for this device,

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I am not sure how Samsung cloud works, but I have an impression that it updates as you use your phone and manages storage. So, differently from a manual backup that you can manage different version, I do now believe that Samsung Cloud has such capability.

May I ask why you need to restore a backup from 2 days ago? Also should I mention here, Samsung Cloud is terrible, since it's pretty much a closed box that you have no control over. I suggest you take your backups somewhere else or try searching for another backup solution.

All the best,
