Hi ! Was able to reboot and edit some lines (using root explorer) in build.prop ro.securestorage to false and ro.config.tima to 0. Problem is.. the securestorage even at false value i still cant view the saved wifi passwords. So i tried changing the permission to 777 thats when i had the red custom binary blocked and rmm prenormal. Flashed to stock rom last night. Not sure how but i tried flashing only with csc_home but red warning is still there. But with ap it worked. Didnt flash bl, cp etc. Am i doing this right? So now i have to wait again. Can i use supersu instead of magisk? the root is not giving me full privelege in this androdumpper app (on the saved password section ). Thank you for your awesome post RicePlay33.

[MENTION=8878589]donart81[/MENTION] I've searched a bit and I've found this => http://phuongpn.com/how-to-decrypting-wifi-password-on-samsung-galaxy-phone-solved/ Did you done the rest of the operation ?

Also, changing the value of "ro.securestorage to false" maybe triggers the RMM lockdown as it seems related to the security of the device. (Encrypting WiFi passwords)

The message was still there because you've ONLY flashed "HOME_CSC", it was specified to flash stock (so including everything BL/AP/CP etc) but for the CSC, choosing the HOME_CSC one. It will flash stock 99% like usual but the HOME_CSC will keep the time elapsed of RMM, reducing the time needed to re-root it again.

You should have tried to disable RMM :D Maybe it wouldn't have bricked itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] donart81:
oh so that's how you flash hehe. i'm such a noob.

yup i think i have done the rest of the operation. I've successfully rebooted after changing the value of the build.prop (ro.securestorage + ro.config.tima) to see if it was not reverted back to original. device was working. it was only when i changed its permission checked it all suddenly it bricked my phone hehe.

next time i'll try to change the value of the "Support Rmm" in the experiment section and report back if it worked :D

thank you for your informative reply.

There has been some development about a possible RMM State Fix Over here.

Did anyone try it?

I'm just waiting for the 7 days to pass, and this wait itself is killing me!
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] RicePlay33:
Yeah I saw that. I was thinking to talk about it but I didn't had the time recently.

I'll update the main post, although I may need someone to try it first and report me what is going on on his device to be able to document it as clear as possible and also to see if it works without any problems.

Don't worry, 7 days and you'll be free like a bird is ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] mest47:
hello i installed twrp on the device and made root and then waited 7 days and 7 days is completed. When the device is off and the device is open, the device has failed.

My fault : custom binary blocked due to remaining installment balance

Please melp me mate

what should I do ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] JazonX:
I will do it as soon as I'm released from the jail.!

However, "This being free is temporary" I guess as it seems like after a new firmware update from Samsung, This will be a routine process.

Hi, Im not really qualified to answer your query, But from What I have learned -

You need to flash a Stock Rom,

Do the 7 Day wait until the RMM State is disappeared,

Then Follow the steps in the OP, and Flash the RMM State fix immediately to prevent getting locked again.

[MENTION=8657184]RicePlay33[/MENTION] ? How can we root Exynos Note FE with newest update? S5 bootloader....
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 2PieceCombo:
'device not rooted'

I have the N935F/DS and android 7.0. Followed the guide and things seemed to go just fine - untill I got back into android and updated the TWRP app, which told me my device is not rooted. Checked with another app to see if it was rooted - nope. Also TWRP shows 'unable to locate recovery' when i chose backup existing recovery. I can boot into twrp recovery just fine. I don't understand why it's telling me im not rooted. Anyone have any insight? Im completely lost.

Update: I installled the Magisk manager, which shows that Magisk isnt installed. I realized the guide referenced v18.1 and I had used 19.3, so I started again with v18.1 and got the same thing. it seems as though the magisk install is not working properly, even though it appears to be installing and is not giving ant errors.. Any suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Boot into download mode..press volume up as if you are going to install firmware. See if Prenormal is present. If not you are good to go, just try to flash Magisk

My SM-N935F NoteFE PIE
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 2PieceCombo:
prenormal is not present. I've tried flashing magisk 3 times now, twice with v19.3 and once with v18.1. It appears to go through just fine and i receive no errors/indication that it didnt work. But when you restart magisk manager still shows no magisk installed and twrp still says im not rooted. Should i start over from flashing twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Yes I would try that using Twrp 3.2.1 I believe.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

And your on Nougat correct? Make sure you are following steps for that version of Android[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 2PieceCombo:
okay I will try that when I get home. Before I try re-flashing TWRP, is there anything I need to do beforehand or just proceed from step 4 of the guide? I did follow the correct guide for Nougat, double checked that before I started to make sure I wasn't doing incorrect steps.

If after redoing the whole process I run into the same issue, what else could I try? Could I flash a newer android version (8 or 9) and follow the guide for that? Or do I need successful root before I can flash a different version of android?

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I went to Pie was having to many issues. I just went back to Oreo. If you want to upgrade just flash Oreo (Android 8) with Odin the build number is S4BRK2
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] 2PieceCombo:
Tried again this evening, the only thing I did differently was using twrp 3.2.1 (which is what the guide says) rather than the latest (3.3.1) and got the exact same result - everything seems totally fine but no root. Could you link me to the download for oreo? going to try flashing that and then try again, but I want to make sure Im downloading/flashing the right thing.

I really dont understand why this isnt working, Ive rooted other phones I had with no problem (except the HTC rezound like 8 years ago, that thing was a ***** lol) If going to oreo doesnt work idk why else to try..
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Depending on which Pie you flashed you may not be able to go back to Oreo. If you flashed Pie that was bootloader S4 you can go back to Oreo S4. If you flashed the latest Pie that upgraded the bootloader to S5 you cannot go back you are stuck on Pie. The firmware you need is at Sammobile or Samfirm or Updato

sorry for all the updates, but it worked!! before I tried flashing oreo I installed magisk manager, rebooted to recovery, installed magisk again, rebooted, and now it appears to be fine. Thank you so much for all the help and sorry for all the posts/questions.

small edit: It was fine, but magisk manager suggested I update from 18.1 to 19.3, so I let it update, rebooted, and back to "magisk not installed" lol Guess I'll try again and just leave it at 18.1 haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Glad it all worked out. Just grab the 19.3 Magisk apk and the lates Magisk manager and use those. I too am in United states. As far as which firmware to use it depends on your device. Mine is Malaysia. And no problem at all glad I could help.

// Status on 07/13/2019 - Magisk Issues & Device Support //

Hey. Not here so often so I just saw that I missed one of the latest updates, really sorry for the inconvenience.

I also see that many problems are back and are always getting in the way... :mad:

Working on a outdated and barely supported device is becoming annoying as hell...

Once again, the problem is surely a combination of the updated boot image and the old TWRP routines...

I'm working on this at the moment but that will probably be the last time because I'm getting annoyed to always have to fire my Ubuntu workspace and clean the **** out of these firmwares in order to make them work properly with this outdated Note 7 TWRP build... :rolleyes:

The major thing is that,

I'm not an Android dev

so it's impossible for me to update TWRP in any ways. I've always wished, I've even tried but it's beyond my capabilities.

All the fixes I've provided were simple patches that almost anyone could make with a bit of logic and some time, but the second point is where I'm failing.

I can't always focus on this because that implies that I have to TWRP backup all my ROM, sit on my chair and try so much things in order to make it work but I'm in life situation where I can't grant myself that time anymore. I only have 1 device, it's the Note FE and that's my daily... Meaning that I'm unavailable while I'm working on it + I've got to be reaaaaaaally careful to not forget anything before backup !

And I'm not even talking about how Samsung (well.. like almost all manufactuers now I should say..) tend to make root a damn obstacle course... I'm also getting fed up of all this RMM locks, Bootloaders, etc.. but that's an other story..

In short words, like I said earlier, I'm gonna see that one last time and If I manage to get it sorted out, I'll leave this device alone and end my efforts for it. Thanksfully, Pie is the latest major Android ver that this device will ever receive. Personally, I'll use my NFE until it will become either too slow/unconfortable to use, stolen or lost or if it simply dies.. then I'll upgrade even tho it's not something I'm eagerly waiting for...

But anyway, if anyone manages to port LienageOS or at least manages to update TWRP to the latest standards, this device will continue to live maybe a bit longer which would be great.

Otherwise, well.. I guess you know what's gonna happen...

Jess.

EDIT:

After some tries, it seems that the latest update which features a BL Ver. 5 dosen't want to boot on either BL Ver. 2 or Ver. 3 meaning that I won't be able to do anything as I can't update my device and find myself locked under a newer bootloader that my daily Nougat ROM might not support. (Especially the modem due to LTE, WiFi connectivity etc) I'm sorry guys, today is the farest I've could go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] RamHa:
Hi, nice to hear u again!

Let me ask u, is it done job and there is no possibilities to revert to Oreo if phone has been updated to latest version of Pie BL s5? Any clues how to revert?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Unless there is an EDL to flash S4 image then no..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gcrutchr:
Using Odin 3.13, I can install the new XXS5CSF1 (Thailand) rom using my current bootloader BL v4.

I did not flash the BL***v5 file. Everything works fine. Even reboots okay.

So, I flashed TWRP. I did not root or format data. I just did a reboot from TWRP. The phone will not boot. It is caught in a boot loop

only showing the boot logo. So, I went back into TWRP and restored my backup. The problem seems to be with TWRP, not rooting.

Also, this new rom will now ask you if you want to enter a password when you turn the phone on or reboot. If you select no, it will

not ask for password. I fixed this in a software mod in previous versions to allow fingerprint access upon power on or reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
So is the Pie update working without flashing V5 bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gcrutchr:
Yes it is working without installing V5 bootloader.

I also noticed in download mode that it does not say 'prenormal', it keeps saying 'checking'. It never resolves the 'checking'. I think because of the V4 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gcrutchr:
Ok!!

I have installed XXS5CSF1 (Thailand) and have rooted it!!!

I did not have to wipe data, change date or anything.

Using SUPERR's kitchen, I created a ROM zip file of XXS5CSF1.

In the kitchen, I added root. I should not have done that as it installed Magisk 19.3. 19.3 does not work as far as I can tell.

I rebooted into TWRP and installed 19.0. That one worked!!

Tomorrow, I will upload my ROM.zip file with instructions how to install and root.

These instructions are for phones which are already rooted and already have TWRP installed.

I have NOT tried to do this through ODIN. But, you can try if you DO NOT INSTALL the BL_N935FXXS5CSF1 (bootloader file V5). I am currently on bootloader V4.

[MENTION=8657184]RicePlay33[/MENTION]

I am not trying to hijack your thread.

I will post the instructions for installing the latest NoteFE ROM only.

I will not answer questions about the ROM, or any installation issues with the ROM (this thread is about TWRP, Root and Magisk).

If you have never installed a custom ROM before, please read how-to by using Google search. These instructions are for people who already have installed TWRP and have Magisk installed on their NoteFE phones.

NOTE: As I said earlier, I will only answer questions in this thread about TWRP, Root and Magisk. If you have other questions, PM me.

CraftWorks NoteFE Installation

Many thanks to [MENTION=8657184]RicePlay33[/MENTION] for all his work and instructions

I have modified RicePlay33's PIE instructions

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION.

I also removed the Magisk 19.3 install from the installation script

As I said previously:

These instructions are for phones which are already rooted and already have TWRP installed.

The assumption here is you are already using Bootloader V4.

I have NOT tried to do this through ODIN. But, you can try if you DO NOT INSTALL the BL_N935FXXS5CSF1 (bootloader file V5). I am currently on bootloader V4.

All of the zipfiles can be downloaded from RicePlays Post #1, except for the ROM.

I will post Magisk 19.0 in this post.

UPDATE:

After getting some feedback on this installation, I suggest 2 additional pre-install actions.

1. Remove any root files (Magisk, SuperSU) before installing ROM

2. Install Magisk manager before installing ROM

Copy CraftWorks ROM zip file to your phone.

Copy Magisk.zip 19.0 to your phone.

Copy RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip to your phone.

Copy N935F_Pie_Kernel_Patch_v1.0.zip to your phone.

I have already removed the Rlc folder from system/priv-app, but install the RMM fix anyway.

Boot into TWRP

MAKE A ROM BACKUP!! THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!

Under WIPE, select ADVANCED - wipe dalvik, cache and system. DO NOT WIPE DATA!

Return to the main menu and tap "Reboot" and then "Recovery"

Once the device has rebooted in Recovery again, tap "Install" and Install the CraftWorks ROM zipfile from your SD card.

After installing, clear dalvik and cache.

Return to the main menu and tap "Install" and Install the RMM fix package from your SD card.

Once it's done, wipe cache & dalvik and return to the main menu.

Install the kernel patch for Android Pie.

Once it's done, wipe cache & dalvik and return to the main menu.

Install the Magisk 19.0 package, the root solution.

Once it's done, wipe cache & dalvik and return to the main menu.

Last step, tap "Reboot" and then "System"

[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] RamHa:
XXS5CSF1 you have been used that?? Im little bit tired but isnt it S5 bootloader???
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Yes but rom uses S4 bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gcrutchr:
Yes, XXS5CSF1 comes with the V5 bootloader.

The newest Samsung ROM, XXS5CSF1 , will work the the V4 bootloader. So far, I have found no problems using the V4 bootloader with XXS5CSF1 . My phone is my daily driver!

I have also made a few mods (3Minit battery, use fingerprint on reboot instead of password, do not turn screen on when power cord attached/removed from phone, double tap to turn off screen, and custom ROM info in settings) to the software to customize my phone without issues.

You can try the following:

Backup your ROM

Copy (from your previous ROM) /system/vendor/wifi/* to the ROM I posted /system/vendor/wifi/*

There are 11 files in the ROM I posted. Not sure how many file are in your previous ROM folder.

I had something similar happen with my Note Pro 12.2 tablet. Copying previous ROM files fixed the problem.

Hi guys i need your help

My Note FE's system was wiped and i can't install stock rom on it . AP/PDA fails "kernel rev. check fail device 3 binary 0". I dont know what can i do with this situation , at the moment my phone hasn't any OS but i can access TWRP. I tried 3 stock ROM their names was :

1-KSA-N935FXXU4CSC4-20190325103212

2-SM-N935F_N935FXXU2BRD4_XXV_HiepGia_SamsungVN

3-THL-N935FXXU2BRD4-20180509172320

i found these on internet and tried flash with odin(TWRP-reboot-download) but it cant resolve my problem , the phone's is still has no OS.

I thoughtmay be im trying install wrong ROMs but i tried 3 times and im losing my hope :(

Note: There is no backup in TWRP to restore :crying:

Just would like to ask, IF you are already on BL v5. How to return back to BL v4? can i just download you rom? or i have to find a custom rom and the proceed from there?
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gcrutchr:
Hi,

First of all, the rom I posted is not a custom ROM. It is stock. I made it so people could upgrade without having to install BL5. If you have TWRP installed, you can download and install the ROM I posted. This will allow you to upgrade your current ROM to the latest 9.0 from Samsung. You can install the .zip file via TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] gqpage:
Thanks for reply. Now i have the latest stock rom 9.0 with the BL 5. but running into some issues. So by installing your rom will there be any issues? will my BL go back down to 4?

first of all say to thank you for this root method.

then i did all the things as mentioned for pie but my phone still not rooted :=(

why does this happen,

i have an note fe with dual sim SM-N935F/DS

rom is pie 9.0

Try installing root again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] umaza:
So I flashed stock Pie on N935F (the older release with bootloader 4) but every time I try the root process Magisk is not installed and it says after trying boot TWRP again:

"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I think after you flash stock RMM state resets. You now have to have the phone on for 7days for OEM unlock to appear. But you can try setting date back 8 days check for update, don't update. After checking reboot device. Before you do this turn off auto update system and auto update in Software update settings also turn off automatic date and time
[Samsung Galaxy Note FE Guides, News, & Discussion] umaza:
After I see OEM unlock I try flashing.

But I had a backup of 8.0 so I restored to it, then restored baseband and EFS of 9.0 to get my IMEI.

If I want to upgrade Magisk, do I flash it then re-flash the Magisk data partition fix? Because every time I flash other than 16.x, then flash the partition fix Magisk doesn't seem to work.

When I flash 16.0 or 16.4 (then the partition fix) it appears as 16.2 in Magisk.
