Is this persistent (one time flash) or do I have to do the whole process again after reflashing a ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] BlackMesa123:
You need to flash it everytime you update/change your firmware/custom ROM, if this one isn't RMM Patched.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] OMSK:
Thanks for the fast reply.

Is there any option to disable the rmm partition or get rid of it forever?

it's really annoying since I am updating my device frequently with the newest firmware and the "reset date" option for the bootloader unlock option doesn't work as quick as it should.

It takes me hours everytime to figure out how to enable it.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] OMSK:
Not normal and easy doesn't mean impossible.

Your script is changing the flags in the build.prop, isn't it a way to check where the command directs to?

Like, from where the system asks for the values of "ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature=0" and track it down by this way to virtualize this function and make use of it for a permanent disable feature?

As of my knowledge RPMB uses a random key (nonce) which is create internally, if you can get this key through a crack or something you can access the partition and edit it.

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand what I mean by that

I really want to contribute in development of the S8 device, because I own it.

And it really annoys me.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] BlackMesa123:
Good luck with exploting Samsung's vaultkeeper, Trusted Boot and all the security features implemented then? And for S8... I'm probably gonna release something for it.?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] OMSK:
Of course its not easy. If it would be easy there would be something already released. :D

But maybe it is possible to exploit it and then appy it on all devices, since the RPMB is the same on all devices I guess.

I think there is a need for heavy knowledge of (maybe) assembler, c++ and java.

And of course hardware knowledge about the phones.

It reminds me back of the time where we cracked the Xbox 360 with hardware modifications on the motherboard.

That was a mess to figure out how the hardware is working but it worked at all.

But an xbox is a complete different thing than a smartphone.

Any Update to N950F RMM Removal with Bit 5/Rev 5 BootLoader?

I have a N950F with Rev 5 and I have flashed Combo and tried everything under the sun to fix this damn thing, however I just cannot get it to Flash Custom Binaries. I need to get TWRP flashed on it so that I can flash a custom ROM and flash that special zip file that removes it permanently. Need some suggestions on how to restore this phone so that it will at least boot again. I am pretty sure I have flashed the latest REV 5 Firmware and still it will not restore. It just Bootloops now. FRP is set to off now however. LOL

Don't know if you can go to the first release of nougat, but you are on an old security patch.

Samsung is getting worse with OEM unlocking, but they are one of the best in my opinion. Lots of devices don't allow it and the ones that do have a stupid bootloader unlock page that shows during boot which annoys the **** out of me.

Btw, here's the rmm file.

Hi All, a few days ago I flashed an SM-A320FL (Samsung Galaxy A3 2017) that came with stock EE UK ROM (Android 8.0 Oreo) with the latest LineageOS 15.1 + Gapps that I found (lineage-15.1-20181205-UNOFFICIAL-a3y17lte.zip) and carefully followed "How to unlock safely" and "How to install TWRP safely" from here to avoid any lockouts. I then booted into the new ROM w/o any problems, however I'm not finding OEM Unlock switch in Developer Options (it was definitely there with the old ROM as I toggled it before flashing TWRP). I cannot see ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature (in fact anything starting with ro.security) in buld.prop and RLC folder under /system/priv-app either. IS it OK? I hear OEM Unlock switch isn't there during jail but I did apply RMM State Lock Fix when flashing and it definitely doesn't feel like jail now.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] SnowFuhrer:
The devs remove it so ____ don't disable it and cause the phone to bootloop. It would soft brick your phone.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] dandreye:
SnowFuhrer:

> The devs remove it

Assuming you're referring to the OEM Lock, what about ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature and RLC folder? I thought all this RMM State Lock Fix does is resets ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature value to 0 and removes RLC folder... assuming they both were there since inception with LineageOS 15.1 does it just remove that property instead? Are you saying they also removed ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature property from LineageOS 15.1? If so the fix isn't necessary with it... or it still is?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] SnowFuhrer:
No, it isn't necessary as lineage os doesn't have rmm. I have no idea about the mechanics though of ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature so I can say anything about it.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] PamelaGirl:
I appreciate the response. After watching this video several times it still is not clear as to what is really going on. This looks like someone trying to get the OEM unlock to appear in the Developers section.

I already have the OEM unlock button activated. I know how to set the date back along with a series of reboots to make it appear. After doing this for weeks I still see the RMM is Prenormal.

I no longer like Samsung.

I do like Samsung phones.

Life with these devices used to be so much fun. I got tired of jailbreaking iPhones so switched over to Androids devices. Now it’s the same headache! My S9+ was updated to the latest version of Android Q. Now I am told I may never be able to downgrade because of some broken e-fuse.

Wish there was a rooted Rom I could simply flash and be done with this OEM and RMM Prenormal crap.

Looks like the latest and the greatest is just expense and locked.

Frustrated :(
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] chrisnice906:
Yes, I also had rmm and bypass turned off but you have to do this tutorial in order to get it to successfully be able to flash twrp. My oem unlock was greyed out too! I did this tutorial and it finally was able to flash twrp. Trust me. Do it
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] PamelaGirl:
Sweet to hear from you again my friend.

Again I appreciate the time you put into responding.

All I could do was watch the video images over and over but because I did not understand any of what the verbal language was I may have missed some very subtle instructions.

If your time permits would you please be so kind as to break it down into a clear language I can follow. I have been on so many forums with no success. I have looked at so many YouTube videos that did not work to resolve the RMM Prenormal.

I know part of the trick enough to make the OEM unlock appear. But it is not clear how to bypass the RMM Prenormal without waiting not restarting the device for 168hrs again.

Again thank you friend. I know I am so close I just need a little clarity from someone that has done it.

Thank you :)

RMM State Lock fix

Hello everybody. I got interested about this problem since my friends [MENTION=6716894]Yahia Angelo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4658360]corsicanu[/MENTION] got the "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" problem, so we decided to search deeply about this. We found out that this problem isn't related to FRP/OEM Unlock (even if enabled same problem comes), but to a new prop that you can see in Download Mode (RMM State: Prenormal). By searching in system, seems this prop is related to a new "thief" protection Samsung added in latest firmwares. Let's make an example: you get the device, setup Google Account, all good... then someone steals the device and wipes it... ok. After wipe he boots, but he can't pass the setup without internet, and when he connects to internet it asks for your Google account, since your account is saved in FRP partition, so he can't setup. This RMM State is more than that simple FRP, as it doesn't allow him to flash custom binaries to remove FRP. So now let's cut to the chase: who still doesn't have this RMM lock can avoid to get the device locked by following these two simple steps:

1. In build.prop, make sure "ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature" property is set to 0, like this:

sys.use_fifo_ui=0
ro.wsmd.enable=true
ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature=[COLOR="Blue"]0[/COLOR]
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
ro.carrier=unknown

2. Remove Rlc app. To do this go in "/system/priv-app" folder with a root file manager or with twrp file manager and remove "Rlc" folder.

For those who unfortunately has RMM State set to "Prenormal", as this user reports, seems that by keeping your phone running without shut it off/reboot, at a certain device running time value RMM State prop will set again to "Normal", so you can flash custom binaries again, if it works to you make sure to follow the above steps to not get locked again, I'll keep you guys updated about this when there will be news.

EDIT:

In attachments now you can find a zip that does the job for you. So when RMM State is set back to "Normal", flash a custom recovery and then flash the zip below to avoid lock again. Thanks to [MENTION=5150393]_alexndr[/MENTION] for his edit version of the zip to fully support new Samsung devices!
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
Good find. Pity I don't have a device new enough to have this issue, but anything I come across I'll be sure to post it.

I'm sure there will be a way around it.

We have already managed to bypass it with down grading the bootloader, but Samsung keep updating the bootloader to lock us out.

Anything past an XXU2 bootloader and you're gonna have issues.

This is a good solution if it is!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] kobejor:
Nice info sir.....these method is only for devices that not locked the RMM?

But if RMM already locked? What is the possible solution?

It is possible to edit RMM FROM firmware then you can flash via Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] BlackMesa123:
I repeat again, if you are not locked you can follow above steps to disable RMM lock, if you are locked you have to wait RMM prop returns "Normal" after Device On Time reachs a specific value, in the case of that user, 7 days. Also you can't modify RMM Status since it's a prop contained into bootloader and you need root permissions in order to edit that value.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] kobejor:
Ok sir. I get it.... sorry for my english not very good....

After 7days how can I know if the RMM is "Normal" ?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] ashyx:
Your OEM_UNLOCK option may have disappeared. After 7 days it should reappear. I would also think RMM status will be NORMAL.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] kobejor:
But my OEM_Unlock is always appeared in developers option?

and I can flashed any of firmware version except BL.... once I update to a latest virsion....it can't downgrade anymore....
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] BlackMesa123:

Did you enabled OEM Unlock in Developer Settings?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] corsicanu:
I got locked outside my own device but i don't consider this a bad thing, since this surfaced some interesting things. I had custom rom and omc instead of csc. I was playing with mps_code.dat inside efs/imei. Being romanian i had ROM inside that file. The lock was triggered when i changed to ETL, the phone knowing ETL as being the owner carrier, and inserted sim being ROManian, so he wanted to switch, as the new omc does, and that triggered the lock of custom binary, because changing the country might not seem as a traveling guy and more like a thief. If you are on stock rom all this time, you might not feel the change, as the device reboots and wipes data, but it will eventually boot.

As my friend [MENTION=6911575]BlackMesa123[/MENTION] said, this is more like an anti-theft solution, and quite good actually, not a dev-lock by samsung. By waiting for 7 days uptime you proove you are the owner of the device, orelse in this time the owner might find the stolen device. I'm gonna wait for the next days and proove this theory, and meanwhile gonna digg more into our stock system to find more details about all of this.
