[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gundal:
I recently and quite sadly discovered that once you trip knox, samsung pass no longer functions..

this is a change from the Note5, s6, s7 and note7.. where even if you had tripped knox and have root you could still register your biometrics and use them to login to:

websites

samsung account

unlock phone..

after the addition of samsung pass, we now only have the ability to unlock our device with biometrics. Website access, Samsung account and even some apps like my banking app that previously allowed us to use a fingerprint do not.

this majorly sucks.. as I tripped knox right away and still want to be able to login to websites with a finger touch...

SO while trying to modify the samsung pass apk to be more lenient.. I discovered that if you simply remove samsung pass...

rename

/system/priv-app/SamsungPass_1.3/SamsungPass_1.3.apk

to

/system/priv-app/SamsungPass_1.3/SamsungPass_1.3.apj

then remove /data/app/com.samsung.android.samsungpass-1

then reboot..

now when you go into the settigns > lock screen > fingerprints > enter pin > Samsung pass is gone, and re-replaced with the original menu items to toggle, websites and samsung account login!! flip the toggles and you are all set to go.

FYI: I had to clear data on my banking app and relogin for it to trigger the change and allow me to register my fingerprint to login

HI man,

I followed your steps. I did not have any reference of samsung pass in /system/priv-app/* but I did delete the folder I found in /data/app/. I don't have any reference to samsung pass in my settings options but my banking app will still not allow me to register a finger, no prompt appears.

Rooted with Magisk, xposed installed, knox is tripped. Any ideas?

then reboot and now can unlock with fingerprint

I'm pretty sure you could get the same effect without removing Samsung Pass.

Go to Settings>>General Management>>Language and Input>>Autofill Service and change it to Google.

Hmm, the general consensus is that once you tripped knox - there isn't anything you can do to bring back Samsung pass So how are so many people getting it to work. Surely this hasn't gone unnoticed for 3 years..

Can anyone else comment on their S9 and if pass still works afterwards?

adb devices

accept prompt window on phone and type:

adb shell

-press enter-

pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.samsungpass

-press enter-

now reboot and flip the toggles in fingerprints menu

to see all packages installed, type the command: pm list packages (after command adb shell)

btw, you can uninstall or disable with command:

pm uninstall --user 0 PACKAGE_NAME

pm disable-user --user 0 PACKAGE_NAME

It won't work but a very good replacement is Lastpass app. You can use it across devices, and from pc you can import passwords from Chrome, and other browsers. Uses biometrics to authorise autofill of usernames/Passwords. Free app, with Premium paid features.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
I highly recommend Daslane Password Manager. Their servers are in Switzerland and google can't touch it, nor can government's Unless it's within extreme circumstances then a warrant would be issued. I't also comes with a free VPN, auto-fills, and SMS OTP's biometricsto name a few with a password generator up to 40 characters with avoid-ambiguous inputs and symbols. Secure notes, id's payments....ok, i'll stop. But it is your passwords right? so why not get the most secure for a small fee? I pay yearly. and tech support is amazing and keep in mind, you can use it on a DEsktop with firefox addon or chrome addon etc with VPN, everything syncs.. Googby google, samsung and all the other open unsecure software. My privacy is impecably priceless.

ps, i'm not debating with you. Please keep that in mind

peace

free use if you only have under 50 passwords.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] senecal1967:
i have a samsung a520w that i tried to root but i installed a custom rom on it and finally went back to the factory 8 rom, but knox does not work and refuses to switch on and my samsung pass tries to fill paswords but as soon as it goes to do so it then says my device is rooted and it is not.

so also this stops me from being able to use biometric fingerprint and the whole samsung pass function.

my phone is not rooted and i have never rooted it.

i wish to revert back to android 8 like it was so that i could use samsung pass and have knox like ti was.

so i have a similar problem as you did.

so i tried to use kingroot, kingoroot and suoper su and tried all sorts of ways to fix problem and am now out of ideas.

could you please help me and suggest sometyhing to fix my phone.

me and my friend have spent hours reflashing and flashing magisk and different roms, still no avail...

also i am thinking of flashing custom rom android 9 pie for samsung sm-a5620w, my phone to get rid of samsung of my device since i cannot benefit frow having all samsung products on my phone since i installed custom rom and knox does not work.

would you know a custom rom for my phone to stop all my problems, something android 9 and or other fixes, thx joel...;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dr Mis:
Thanks dude, It worked
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gundal:
Glad to hear this thread and concept is still helping people.

Would you mind posting your device and android version so anyone else who stumbles on here can see what this still works on.

For those who were asking what program to use or if they cant find the folder.

First: yes. you need to be rooted.

Rom toolbox pro is a great ap for rooted users to do a plethora of things, it comes with an app called root browser which can do all the renaming and finding of hidden folders.

1.3 is likely longer the version of samsung pass used, so if this still works on recent versions you will probably have to find the samsung pass folder/apk.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
Hi there

I wanted to add Messenger to UPSM screen (Ultra power saving mode), so I've tried UPSM Manager and UPSM+. None of them worked on my Galaxy S5 however, after few tries almost all of my apps disappeared. There are a few left. System: Contacts, Text messages, Phone, Settings plus Google and Lockwatch. That's all. The rest disappeared.

On application manager in settings I can see all of them, most of them have status "disabled".

I've downloaded those two apps from here:

UPSM Manager - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751785

UPSM+ - http://downloadapk.net/down_UPSM-ROOT.html

I've read that there is a very high probability that they won't work and that Google does not refund price in such case hence downloading .apk - could it be some kind of trojan from the 2nd link?

I've connected with adb console and

pm list packages -d

shows 300+ packages as disabled.

pm list packages -d | while read line ; do pm enable ${line#*:} ; done

fails with

Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from ...

I can't run su as it freezes adb shell - su is also disabled so I can't enable it nor reinstall (Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR])

Any hint how to restore my phone? Right now it has less features than Nokia 3210...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
So maybe I'll ask a different question. Is there a way in my current state to regain root access (via adb shell) and enable disabled apps?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hi,

In order to get helped it is always useful to provide at the beginning some basic info like phone model, firmware ver , root, recovery (custom or stock) etc.

Easiest way when you messed up your phone would be just restore your nandroid backup but I assume that you didn't make one, did you?

If not, easiest way IMO to regain root is just flashing CF-autoroot or if you have a custom recovery supersu zip file.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
I wrote in Galaxy S5 forum so ;)

Anyway: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), Android 5.0, G900FXXU1BOJ1, stock os, rooted

Haven't heard of nandroid before. I had titanium backup, but that's just apps I assume and they are still present on the phone, just disabled.

I haven't heard of CF-autoroot neither, but after picking matching details I got to desktop.firmware.mobi/device:370/firmware:12219 (I can't post urls with <10 posts). I'll have to read what to do with it without breaking a phone even more.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Here is the link to CF-autoroot for S5 variants:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696537

For applying you need to be familiar with using odin pc software. Be aware that this will trigger KNOX flag if yours is still 0x0.

By the way, how did you root your device initially?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
KNOX was set when I initially enable root. To be honest, I can't recall which software I used, but it just worked without any problems. I was more than a year ago. Maybe it was CF but I just don't remember the name?

Anyway, I've generated image via CF-autoroot but it fails:

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

and now phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" :-/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
That one succeed. There is a high probability I've used that one upon first root.

Anyway, it succeed but adb shell and then su still freezes. Nothing changed. Still no root I guess.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Hmm, so you still can't enable any disabled apps? I am afraid that you may need to try factory reset and if this doesn't help then re-flash complete firmware with full wipe. Before I would make backup of all useful staff what is still working and available in your phone.

Edit: did you read whole app thread? There are a few solutions/workarounds which helped some users with their issues but not sure if it is applicable to your problem,
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
Yes, exactly the same access denied error as mentioned in the 1st post. Like nothing changed at all.

I've downloaded all files (available without root) from sd card and internal memory.

Nope, I will then. At least I'll try (157 pages!)

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
There is a button "delete everything" but it does not work. Nothing happens when I click it. So the next step is to reflash firmware? That seems like a bit over my knowledge at the moment :/

Also, I assume there is no way to backup sms/mms - not able to install any backup soft and no root for adb:

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
adb: error: failed to copy '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' to '.\mmssms.db': remote Permission denied

I'll try from recovery menu.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
Ok, so it worked from recovery menu. Data are wiped, phone install some german bloatware and it's like when I first bought it. As I suspected, despite Google backup enabled, it does not work. No apps are being installed. I have to recreate every single app with it's data. That's a small disaster, ech..

Samsung backup restored some sms/mms but from February this year (heh).

Looks like all those automatic backup from Samsung and Google does not work at all and I should probably do some cyclic manual data dump. So why all those backup settings if it does nothing at all?

Anyway, thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
Sorry for that. What do you mean by saying "no apps installed" You wrote before that your apps (user and most of the system) have been disabled, not uninstalled by the UPSM.

Are all your disabled system apps still at the same state after factory reset?

You wrote german bloatware? It looks like you have German branded Lollipop 5.0 firmware installed. I would definitely move to Polish latest unbranded (XEO) Marsmallow 6.0.1 to clean up your phone or if you wish to have rooted and debloated stock-based firmware then this rom is a very good alternative:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marooned_MB:
By saying "no apps installed" I meant that after factory reset (wipe from recovery menu) and signing into my google account, backup restore did not install anything. But I've done yet another reset, this time from options and this time I've set up google account on welcome wizard and.. it worked, google backup restored all 107 apps BUT with no settings (they claim that settings should be also restored), so I have all my apps, but with no settings, so like after fresh install. I'm recreating everything from scratch, one by one.

Yup, phone was bought as (I'm not sure how to translate "powystawowy") refurbished, from shop exhibition(?), a bit cracked on corners, but 2x cheaper. Anyway, it was just a matter of uninstalling 5 German apps (with root of course).

I did not put any other firmware as the one from Samsung has some unique features like mentioned ultra power saving which I enjoy on long travels. I've read that custom roms does not support this or NFC and few others.
