I have Adhell 3.1 working instead right now and i'd rather use the version thats being developed, not an old one. I wrote above that it works just fine for me now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Forever Justice:
Erase all subscriptions and start fresh, even if subscription is expired! Also search and follow newest instructions you can find. Last but not least, start fresh uninstall reinstall to newest app. If this helps let me know. Trust me it took me playing with to get it right and working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zadox:
There is no way to make it work (but I am already rooted with Magisk). The latest mediafire apks can not be installed (after changing the package name in APK Editor in XML mode). I can build my own apk from sources and instructions in Gitlab, I can install it but it can not activate with my KLM09 licence key (stays at "Activating..."). Also, in my SEAP Dashboard at seap.samsung.com I can not associate the package I have built. After I upload ("extract") it says erroneously that it has been associated with my license but it is not listed in my Package Summary.

Have you tried revoking your current certificate and issuing a new one? I was having a similar issue and it resolved when I revoked my active certificate for a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Hi i don’t see the point you installing Adhell 3.1 as it works on the Knox framework and you have tripped Knox as your rooted.

It won’t work properly, Adhell is only good for unrooted devices.

You can download ad blocking software via Magisk! It’s best you go via that route, well that's how i see things..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I don't think package have to be associated in SEAP for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
I had to build the app and associate it to get it to activate. The prebuilt one would not work no matter what I did. I would get error 208 before I associated it. I revoked my license about four times too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Thanks did you follow this guide --> androidsage com 2018/04/02/adhell-3-samsung-galaxy-devices-apk-download ? As i'm getting the 208 error it sucks :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
No, I followed the instructions in post 24. It took me a few tries to get the build right and associated but it did work. You might just need to associate it as per the 2nd part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Strange, I never had to associate it for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] :
Previously neither did I until this update on the snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Can confirm, didnt need to upload previously. Updated because key expired and had to upload the apk to get it to activate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sixeranas:
after a few days of frustration

hi guys,

first time posting after being a lurker for so long. apologies if i'm posting in the wrong section, but i thought i'd share my experience with adhell, since I'm also on Samsung One UI. Prior to having the OTA update pushed to my S9+, I had NotSABS installed and running nicely on the same phone, but stock Oreo (TouchWiz 9). a few days ago, to my excitement, Android 9 One UI arrived to my phone.

so I happily let the phone do its thing and I finally have Pie on my S9+. yay! then reality hit me, my phone was back to being bloated with apps which i do not appreciate being shoved down my throat (special boo to Bixby!). i had the suspicion that NotSABS would not work with One UI, but still tried to install it, to no avail. using the same APK and editing as per previous instruction, try as i might, surely NotSABS did not work. I searched and searched on how to make it work, and came across Adhell. The first attempt at installing Adhell, it worked. followed the instructions on reddit, although i did not change the package name, only changed Adhell 3 to become Adhell3.

but..I felt the phone getting sluggish. so thinking I could make Adhell work again easily enough like the first time, first I did a 'wipe system cache' from recovery mode (power button + bixby button + volume up), I thought it would make the phone like new again. Obviously not! I was not happy, and cursing Samsung for pushing a half baked UI..reluctantly I did a factory reset, to have a clean slate to start fresh.

and then the suffering starts..haha..constant trial and error, but could not replicate my first success with Adhell, just a few days before! I went through so many KPE licenses in just a matter of three days, revoking, and getting new licenses, repeat the same cycle of revoking and getting new licenses. my neighbors must have thought I've gone crazy with the constant cursing (i was loud, kind of like Bruno Mars talking to the moon, but way way worse).

one thing I observed; when I got Adhell to work, the license key started with KLM06, but all of those failed activations (so many codes, 201, 208, 501, 702, you name it I got it all) and going back and forth with editing the APK, getting creative with the package name, going on the internet to search what those error codes mean, the licenses that failed to activate Adhell, they all started with KLM09. license after license, after license, Samsung SEAP kept giving me KLM09 license, none of which got Adhell to activate.

today, just a few minutes ago, I finally got a license starting with KLM06. this is it. my gut was telling me this should work. and it DID WORK! with a license starting with KLM06, I entered it to Adhell...and PRESTO! I now have Adhell again!

I can conclude on my side; it finally worked because:

1. I did not change the package name. this time I only changed the name from Adhell 3 to Adh3ll.

2. KLM09 didn't do it for me, but KLM06 does.

thank you for reading. damn, that was a long post. Sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rhadoo_ds:
It is actually working with KLM09 as well, but only compiled on your PC and package locked to KLM09 license on SEAP.

EVEN if might look a bit of steps to follow, if you get it as in tutorial, it will all worth it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I didn't compile on my machine, but yeah you have to upload it to associate it to the key.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
May I ask please how did you ensure you got a KLM06 key in the end?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] buschris:
anyone that gets a knox key, make sure you are copying the entire key. I was just typing it into my phone and left off the last 10 digits of the key. it's a 30 digit number
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rhadoo_ds:
Tried without compiling and uploading the package, and it did not worked. For me it only worked after compiling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I'm not denying how it worked for you.

My point is just as my post stated. For me I did not need to compile. I just installed an apk that someone else created.

So it may not be a requirement in all cases
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sixeranas:
hi,

there is no specific method on how I finally got the KLM06 key. I just kept trying. To put it in a simple way..

IF key is KLM09,

THEN I revoke, apply new key, repeat until I got KLM06.

It's repetitive and you'd probably get bored and frustrated, I know I did and almost gave up. But perseverance has its rewards. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Lorne_Wolf78:
Recently I came upon a post that made it very simple to install AH3 on the new S9, which caught my attention as I knew my wife would be harrassing me to do it on hers. So during that post, I learned that I somehow bypassed the APK Editor phase & yet successfully installed Adhell 3.1xx on my own Samsung Galaxy.

This latest edition I thought at least for eye appeal, was much better than the previous I had. I followed all the steps & reset my key instead of waiting for the the final 15 day's. Before I could start configuration within the app, I got the latest security update from Samsung. This was around midnight +/- so I did the update 1st.

Now I am in need of some new ideas that ultimately helps me fix..."SOMETHING!!" I have found many helpful tips here on XDA already. If I turn on AH3, just the firewall is the problem. It gives me time to get out & online then blocks my service. It started out just preventing me from posting or go to a new site. Now I am losing COMPLETE control if I do manage to get online. Or might have my keyboard & control button's be locked out so is no powering off either.

Malwarebytes & a few other scans come up clean. AdGuard was successfully running at same time, creating a VPN (it's not supposed to be capable of that!) in the previous version as well as initially with 3.1.1.254? VPN off, all customization of Chrome reset, power cycle complete with factory reset & reinstall adding a DNS flush in between.

No matter what I did to the firewall, as long as it was on there would be no internet & any # of failures to follow eventually. I have get a total of 65 entries for the firewall & short of 1 at a time adding each entry... Chrome 79. Adhell 3.1.1 on Oreo with Samsung Experience 9.0. AdGuard 12.12 uninstalled even then tried Chrome Dev. Only that blasted firewall has any adverse effects for me. Which sucks given how it gives a delightful feeling as it disappears in a way of not being seen again, the trash!

Latest mess involved several calls just now notifying me while the time stamp show's over an hour! This is crazy as I don't have anything beyond obvious bloatware on it for now!! Zuckerberg & his Facebook spy network are safer on that list than anything!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
I followed the instructions in Post #4. What did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vault1965:
Hi everybody. I have used instructions to install adhell 3.1.1 and everything went fine, but app just crashes when it validates key. Message on screen is "license for knox has been activated" and then it closes. Upon restarting app, it asks again to activate key and then it crashes again. I have Note 9 with pie regular build, I have followed the instructions in txt in mediafire folder for Note 9. I have also did not find anybody with similar error, just people that have problems with activating license for knox. I am open to all suggestions...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
Something went wrong and app is corrupt. Needs redoing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] thebeardedchild:
I just came here having the exact same issue, though I haven't updated Adhell in months. It had been working perfectly just yesterday, though my license key expired so I went to get a new one, which worked just fine, but when I go to activate it in Adhell I get the same crash. Again, haven't updated or change Adhell at all, other than put in a new key.

Maybe something's changed with the keys that isn't working with Adhell?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
There was an issue with new keys that start with klm09 and those have to be associated with the app. No such issue with klm06

Edit: maybe check subreddit for more help with precompiled adh3 builds
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vault1965:
My key starts with klm03, I will try to generate new one, will post if I have succeded to activate and run adhell.

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I do not think so, I have tried with at least 15 different apps, redoing it all over following instructions. Adhell just force close after activating key.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] thebeardedchild:
Just noticed mine starts with KLM03 now too, and my previous keys were 06. Any luck generating a new key?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
For those with klm03 try to associate the app to it and then try to activate. Might be an issue with Seap issuing KLM06 in error as it was for few days with klm09 being created instead of klm06.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sixeranas:
Have you tried clearing the app's cache and restarting your phone? That's the only thing I can think of because it seems you did everything right if you got that far.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
Same thing here. Still on Oreo, my key expired so I activated a new key (KLM03) and same thing. Cleared cache, uninstalled reinstalled, then restarted no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TWiiTCH:
Adhell sounds like it lives up to its name, it's hell to get it running and blocking ads. My recommendation would be to pony up a few dollars and buy a license for adguard premium for Android. It blocks ads system wide without root, offers https blocking, many dns servers to chose from and is an install & use app, no compiling source codes or needing Knox developers keys. You can also add your own block lists & allow particular apps to run without being filtered. Save yourself the headache, if you can but a Note 9 you can afford adguard I'd assume. Just my honest opinion.

Best of luck finding an adblocker that suits you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
Just installed update for Android P on my note 9. I have Adhell3 running but on reboot I am needing to reenter the Knox key. This was not the case on Oreo. Admin is enabled. Adhell3 v254.

Can anyone shed any light on this please?

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Previously someone has said that you need to keep getting new keys until you get one starting with KLM06. Mine is KLM06 and works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
There is an issue with KLM03 key which, according to the dev, does not grant firewall permission which in turn causes the app to fail. So, the app failure can and will be corrected but not the fact KLM03 grant no firewall permission as that is Sam side. Fingers crossed the site will revert back to issuing KLM06 keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vault1965:
Problem is that you cannot revoke KLM03 key. SDK forum is full of angry people as this cannot be done in your license managment page. So, until Samsung get their sh*t together, we are stuck with non working keys...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Compiling the app always make it working.

For the key, I always try to delete the first and the last char as well as the empty space before and after, after a copy past because it can fail for god know unknown reason why.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vault1965:
This is not the case. Please read few posts back. I have generated another key with Samsung, using different mail and new account and again I got KLM03 key, which does not work with Adhell, This is so embarrassing for Samsung, if it is not done on purpose...

However, for anyone that just need ad blocking and have pie on his Note, you can resolve this simply. Just go into Settings > Connections > More connection settings. You will find menu Private DNS. Activate it in Private DNS provider hostname and use dns.adguard.com

This will get rid of any ad device wide. Already tested and it is working really fine. I got rid of inapp ads in one perky app that Adguard could not block...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Oops yes you are right. I must have missed some post. Sorry for that.

Actually, I didn't notice there was an new page to go to, using the app so yeah, I was completely off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vault1965:
No problem, sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, it was not my intention.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Not at all, it's alright :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sixeranas:
Thanks for this information. I'm going to try and see if it results in conflicts with Adhell's DNS settings; I set a few apps to use Cisco Open DNS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] uoY_redruM:
When you go to "set up and manage VPN" and add one, you name the VPN and then in the server address it should be "dns.adguard.com" correct? When I do this, if I click the created VPN it askes me for username and password. It also says under that "this VPN type can't stay connected at all times". Am I doing something incorrectly?

EDIT- I can't seem to generate a new code either. I just came from notSABS. My code just expired and I didn't even realize we couldn't generate a compatible code for SABS any longer. Found my way here for Adhell 3 but I keep getting an error code when trying to generate a new KNOX key...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
Do you have Android Pie ?

Because it's not on the VPN settings, and only Pie got the option to set up a private DNS server.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] StewMaker:
You can get key for SABS still.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
License issue has been resolved and correct klm06 are being issued once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
That's good to hear. Did you need to do anything in particular to get the KLM06 key?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
Nope, they revoked the KLM03 license and I created another one that ended up being the correct KLM06. Went through activation and Adhell now works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CCJ22:
Could anyone enlighten me why you all are using adhell3 instead of blokada?

I am asking because I am thinking of moving from blokada to adhell but unsure why it's so popular.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] veskostoev:
For me Blockada was ok but i had problems with internet when i switch to 4g and wifi was loosing connection and i have to turn on and turn of Blockada and reboot the phone.At the end i get tired of this. If it works for you is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
I have successfully used adhell3 for over 2 months on my Note 9. It is supposed to be resource friendly as it uses Knox, but personally have not checked this. There are other similar opinions in this forum. I think it is simple to use with different host files and see what is being blocked and white list if necessary. You can add things to a firewall. I use this to block ads in Chrome. You can can also disable Apps and control on a per app basis Wifi or cellular access, DNS, permissions and services. It is therefore very flexible. Disabling apps via Adhell3 removes the need to use ADB or another app to do this as far I can see. I have never used Blokada so can't comment on it's features. The instructions I used are in Post #4. There are more details in the readme file for the app.

It's good and worth a try out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
I've used both and to be honest the reason I prefer adhell is it does more. As mentioned, it can disable apps completely without the need to use adb to delete them. For the short time that I wasn't able to use adhell, I went back to blokada and it is still great. Not having to see a VPN connected notification is also great but that's just me being superficial lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bond32:
Adhell is far superior because it runs without using the VPN slot. That reason alone is enough to me, but it also allows more specific blocking, whitelist, etc. You can also disable apps and app components, as well as the added firewall make it the best. I even consider it superior to Adguard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] uoY_redruM:
You can? I thought they were killing those off in a few months.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sumbeam:
Hello.

I've updated my S8 to 9.0 Pie today and Adhell doesn't work. I downloaded latest version from the Mediafire folder (3.1.1.262), edited the APK, installed it and activated the license correctly. But once all seems to be right, the APP starts and I see the main screen of it with the toggles to activate the adblocking, suddenly it gets "force closed". If I start the app again, I have to re-activate the license... and after a successful process, the app gets force closed again and again...

Anyone else had same issue?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
ONE UI PIE 9 is buggy as hell! For some it works for others it don't, from what i have heard! Why not try a version older of Adhell and see if you get same issue!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
I believe this post should sort your issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
If I recall well there's never any issue with the compiled version, but you need a KLM 06 key in all cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
Something amiss somewhere...

I have just downloaded latest 262 version of Adhell3, edited as per the instructions and it is working for me on Note 9 with Pie.

Edit: when you create or renew your license key you need to associate the Apk file you have created with your key by uploading it to the Samsung website.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] recharged20:
I had the same experience having adhell 3 closed with just "Adhell3 has stopped".

Been using it for a while now, didn't realize my key was expired so had to renew my key, get new updated adhell 3 262/264 from mediafire folder, then after activation adhell 3 just closed and cant get past the activation thing. Also still on 8.1

Tried common edit, but problem with parsing by changing the package name. Changing the package name via xml file edit works, manage to install, but still the same problem that adhell3 has stopped.

I also thought that it was because the overlay with andromeda/substratum, but even when i removed everything and restart, still no dice for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sumbeam:
I'm going to check where I have to upload the apk...

Thanks!

EDIT: It doesn't work. The app still force closes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ccy7:
I just renewed my key, and had the same problem as well. If you look under "license name" tab in license key summary, it says "KPE Development Limited" for the new key, when the old one says "KPE Development" as if the keys have different permissions. Could this be the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] zehjotkah:
I've built the app on my computer with a new package name. Got a new license (KLM06) und associated the package online with the key.

Now AdHell accepts the key but directly force closes after activating...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sumbeam:
We are a few people with the "firce close" issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
That is exactly the issue. Limited key has no required permissions for Ah3 to function hence the app fails
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ccy7:
So it looks like we need to be a SEAP partner to get the unlimited key.... or is there another way?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ccy7:
Looks like the only way for now is to downgrade to adhell 3.0.0 and use the ELM key. It works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] recharged20:
is the backward compatible key the "ELM" key?

My older ELM key was expired/revoked.

I tried to use 3.0.0 and do the edit, but license activation failed nonetheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ccy7:
If your older ELM key expired, you need to revoke it to generate a new key. ELM key is not the backward compatible key. I can't post links yet, but if you go to the link where you generate your keys, type "/edu" at the end of the link and that will lead you to the ELM key generator
