[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
Hello,

I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Note 9 a couple of months ago and yesterday I was getting annoyed not being able to use apps like Android Pay, Samsung Pay and Banking apps, So I decided to use Odin to flash the stock ROM back and set OEM Unlock to OFF. To my Horror, I found out the hard way about what a KNOX Trip was. I have no idea how I missed all the warnings on every ROM post about tripping it and not being able to change it back. I can now use my Banking apps, Android Pay and play Fortnite however, Because of the Knox being tripped I can no longer use Samsung Health and Samsung Pay :(

My Question is is there a way to just install a custom kernel or ROM that tricks apps like Samsung Pay and Samsung Health into working again without installing root and having modifications hidden so I can use my Banking apps and play games??

Any Help is very much appreciated! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
After a bit more searching the forums and Google I now understand that no matter what I do I can't get Samsung pay to work which is fine. However any help on the rest is still appreciated! ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
You should go read some more as you also missed the part where tou can use magisk hide. but it wont get back spay.

Just use the forum sarch feature as if you were google searching ie:

magisk shealth

magisk hide

magisk google pay

magisk android pay

magisk insert what ever query
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
I did use Magisk Hide to hide root from apps but some apps could still detect the custom rom was installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
so for example you went to magisk hide menu and selected your banking app and it didnt work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
Yes i selected my banking app along with google pay and all its services and Samsung pay with its services and none of them worked.

This also doesn't work for pokemon go and fortnite.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
how about safety net status, is it passing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
Yes Everytime. I'm about to flash TWRP and only install a custom kernal with no root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
try endurance. but besure ure rom base matches kernel ramdisk or u won't be able to get past lock screen. so do a full twrp backup in case

or just try dr ketan. usualy best all round working rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
I have installed a custom rom without root access and my banking app and games work perfectly however Google pay is detecting the unlocked bootloader. Anyway to hide this with out rooting the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
for google pay, some actualy revert to an older version. just search the forums. for me magisk hide works great with my banking app. and for games, im not much of a gamer so i realy dknt know. but again you should try with dr. ketan rom just in case it works. just choose to flash kernel and magisk during setup.( do a clean install so factory wipe in twrp before flashing his rom)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VortexHD:
Well i decided to just use Stock Rom and lock the bootloader so at least most of my apps then work. I installed a modified apk of Samsung Health but it doesn't contain the heart rate monitor but I suppose that's fine and I just have to accept that Samsung Pay will never work again :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rajil.s:
Where can i get the old version of Google pay which works with unlocked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] peekie:
S heath can work on a rooted device with a simple change to the build prop , but secure folder and spay remain a dud

Hi likeme, Good work !!

I'm DL..ing your rom.

How did you add .NET Compact Framework 3.5 RTM & 方正兰亭黑 - FZLTH.ttf to Tommy's Kitchen to Cook??

Likewise, is it possible to cook a CHT version??

Thanks!!

The FZLTH.ttf can read CHT:confused:

I use CHS and I have not CHT ROM or CHT OEM File.

You can add .net oem file to tommy's kitchen to cook.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fieldside:
Hi likeme, you've done an excellent job! Your rom is even faster and smoother than the May1 Tommy's rom, mainly, I think, is becasue you have a ramdisk. Where this ramdisk come from? Also after installation, I actually have more storage space left than Tommy's one for my hx2410, about 12.4MB. Again, Great job!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] likeme:
Thanks.

If you want more program ram, You can change this value to change Ramdisk size.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RAMDisk]

"Size"=dword:10 ;This value 10 is 16M,if you want 8M,change it to 8

I can not add more storage space, i don't understand. 64M ROM so small.

But ramdisk just speed up the Internet Explorer,other not obvious.

And i just Chinese localization othe oem file (such as power.exe, bt)。

Watchout! New version cannot revert back to other versions

After installing the new fuller Chinese version, it is not possible to change back to any other versions. My pda is now crippled by this rom. I think, it cannot be updated to any other future rom.:( Help! It always says "incorrect language" and does not allow further processing.

**Do Not Install this New Rom if You Want to Play Around with Different Versions or Want to try Future Updated Versions**

PS. See my another thread #16 below. Sorry likeme! My mistake!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] likeme:
Your problem not this ROM's problem.

Take your pda to PreBL mode (hold contact+itask+power and then lightly press reset, after about two second unhold remaing buttons).

Run hpRUU.exe in my rar file to flashing ROM to other language.

Or flashing to English.

I can flashing my device to CHS/CHT/ENG version ROM.

Sorry likeme, my mistakes. I did not use the hpruu.exe included in your rar file instead I had used the older hpruu.exe that comes with the Advance Pack. Thanks likeme, you are great!

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Drunkula:
I seem to have painted myself into a corner. After the flashing step apparently I encountered the encryption problem, too. However, no matter what I try I cannot wipe the data partition. I just fails every time. I can get into TWRP. But if I let it try to boot normally I get an error that it needs a factory reset. Even letting it do that doesn't seem to help. Not sure what my next step should be. :(

EDIT:

Oh wait, I think I got it. What I did in this state was power off (using power button) and choose power off from the menu that pops up. Then I rebooted back into TWRP. Before I tried anything else I chose to format data then wipe data (probably redundant but I don't care). Then I reflashed the 3 packages. That seems to work now...

EDIT 2:

So yeah it did work. Thanks so much! I haven't had a rooted Android device in years. Nice to have that ability back. Wish I could do that to my phone (Verizon S10+).
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] mkdr:
Will this work for Tab S2 9.7 T813 too? What is the device name of it? gts210vewifi is that correct? So I just have to download the TWRP for gts210vewifi and follow the same guide? What is different to your guide compared to the Lineage OS guide https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210vewifi/install ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] burnxtc:
First of all, thank you very much for this detailed post. Worked like a charm on my client's T713.

The only thing I cannot do is enable encryption, it just reboots the phone. I've tried everything and am running into brick walls. My guy needs to get on work VPN, so encryption is a must. If anyone has an idea, please chime in, I'd be indebted to you.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Troy1288:

Man, I followed your instruction word in word and I didn't a single problem upgrading my Tab S2 713 from 7.0 stock to Lineage 16.0. I really appreciate the detailed instruction on how to do this.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Anthraxiousness:
Hey there. Found this guide as I recently got a tab s2 and it's very well written, but one step is really hard and it's the whole "boot into recovery from download mode". Whatever I try I can't get it to work.

I assume when you say to hold the Download mode combo (pwr+home+volDown) you mean while the screen is blue with the message "Downloading....". I do this and as soon as the screen turns off I switch to recovery combo (pwr+home+volUp) but I always land at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2" screen and it just stays there.

Is there a way to completely turn OFF the tablet from Download mode so I can start into recovery easier? I don't know why it's not working for me tbh. I've tried timing it, tried being a second earlier, later, whatever. Always the same thing. I fear I might be doing something wrong tbh.

(A note: I don't have the "enable unlock OEM" option in my developer options but apparently that means I don't need to enable it. Odin works just fine and I get a pass after 3 seconds. Oh, and my KNOX WARRANTY VOID: went from 0 to 1 so I assume it worked).

EDIT: I want to add my TabS2 is model SM-T815, in case that matters.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] avongil911:
One must not click "install TWRP" or it will boot loop into recovery after loading the OS. This is very frustrating, make sure you do not load the TWRP app when installing!

Hi

Very detailed guide.

I am writing to ask for your help:

I managed to boot into TWRP after ODIN, but it seems i am unable to access micro sd card. There is the option micro sd but i can't select it. As a result, i can't flash lineage.

I click install - select storage -

Internal storage (0mb)

MicroSd (0mb)

USB OTG (0mb)

Do you have any ideas?

I have the lineageos files,gapps to sd card.

Should i proceed with TWRP--> Wipe, then Advanced Wipe-> Data partition -- swipe right, then should i able to access the sd card?

Edit: just tried wipe - advanced wipe - data - and i get Wipe complete: FAILED

could not mount/data and unable to find crypto footer.

Failed to mounf /data (invalid argument)

unable to recreate /data/media folder

Unable to mount storage

Hello. Does the fingerprint scanner work with lineage os ? Thanks in advance!

Edit: yes it does, found it

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

First time i got the failed to mount /data error.

I fixed it like this

Press back at recovery.

=> Wipe

=>advance wipe

=>check data

=>repair or change file system

=>ext2

swipe right

now go back, change file system again to ext4.

Now just install as per OPs instructions and all will be great.

So I have one issue, my father was given one by an older gentleman from his work its a brand new looking 713 it has been registered. however, the man does not remember what account nor the perspective password for this tablet, will this work without enabling OEM unlock? if not it goes back to being a fancy paperweight once again.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] MrGuvernment:
Sadly, it seem the OEM Unlock is blocked out for me on my S2 with July 2018 as the last update for it, Tried the change date back and auto off steps and such several times but it just does not appear, guess Samsung for even more greedy and blocked that method, so nice of them to make a $600 tablet a paper weight with a 3 year old OS stuck on it..Last time i buy a Samsung device.

First of all thanks a lot for your very detailed guide {respect}

Tnx on adv.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] casperspook:
Problem solved, after trying all variants of TWRP available on twrp.me there was not even 1 working on a Stock ROM T810.

So i uninstalled all drivers involved and removed the latest Odin (Odin_3v3.14.4) and started clean install:

-->> Odin3_v3.13 <<-- and -->> Samsung USB drivers 1.7.23.0 <<-- restarted pc, and flashed -->> TWRP-3.2.1-0-gts210wifi.img.tar <<---

TWRP finally installed & working...

I hope this will save time for anyone who doesn't get TWRP flashed on a Stock ROM Galaxy Tab S2 because it cost me a few days figuring out :eek:

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] koby007:
Hi,

I get the Error 7 message while flashing, so following the instruction, I modify updater-script to see if that works. I have done both adding TZ.BF.3.0.3-00021 or deleting the asset lines altogether.

However, whenever I modify updater-script file and rezip it, it spits back and Invalid Zip format! error.

I have downloaded the ROM no less than 10 times and it fails each time.

I have used WinRAR, WinZip, and 7-zip, all failed. Not sure what to do now.

S2 T713 using the 4/6/2020 nightly.

Please help!

Thank you,

Ok, I figured out how to get it to work. Maybe there is an easier way, but this is how I did it.

After modifying update-script, save it, and then use WinZip to open the ROM, DO NOT UNZIP IT, just open it, navigate to the folder containing update-script, and drag the new file into the folder.

Then click on save on the top left corner, this will save the file directly into the zip file, without unzipping and zipping it again.

This worked for me.

Thank you,

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jjsweet:
These instructions don't work for a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 prior to 2015. You have to search for twrp and lineage for "gts28wifi" (no "ve"), and get ARM, not ARM64 versions of addonsu and open gapps.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] HungLu:
My Tablet S2 SM-T713 can not boot the system. Try awhile then It goes back to the recovery TWRP. I did make reboot system again but unsuccessful. It went to a screen with a smile for awhile then boot back to recovery. I have TWRP already flashed. So I use TWRP to install the 3 files: lineage-16.0-20200420-nightly-gts28vewifi-signed.zip, addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip and open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200502.zip as instructed. Did I miss something to make it crazy.

Thank you

[Edit] I try again by wipe Data first then install the 3 files again but so far no luck. It still boot back to TWRP after try to boot system for awhile.

[Edit] Download and use this version lineage-16.0-20200413-nightly-gts28vewifi-signed.zip and it works.

Thank you.

[Edit] Then use the system to upgrade to version 4/20/2020. So I think the lineage-16.0-20200420-nightly-gts28vewifi-signed.zip file got corrupted somewhere.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Quincofish:
Been through your process and it all appeared to be error free. Now when it has finished and rebooted, took about 9 minutes, it came back straight into the ""Team Win Recovery Project" 3.2.3-0 . How do I get out of that into a working tablet? From the TWRP screen, I hit "reboot", "Power Off" and it comes back to that screen every time.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] HungLu:
Which LineageOS file you are using. Like I wrote my tablet keep boot system for awhile then go back to TWRP screen recovery. Mine LineageOS file was corrupt so I download an earlier version file and it worked. After that go to settings and do an system update. Please refer to my #28 post. Use this lineage-16.0-20200413-nightly-gts28vewifi-signed.zip file. It worked for me. Hope that help.

SD Card and internal storage #28

Can see the SD card but not the internal storage (USB connected to PC), is this normal? Also, when device booted it can't see the SD card for about 1 minute, then all good. What format is the SD card after the device formats it? Should I replace the SD card?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] sobrit:
Did you get an answer to your question or find a solution for this issue? I'm running into the exact same thing—same challenge, I've tried the same solutions, same model...all of it. Your comment stands out because I could have written it, myself. I'm hoping you also found a solution.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Quincofish:
I have just "done successfully" my Tab S2. Had same problem. Eventually found you had to be very fast between letting go the three buttons then pressing them again with the Volume Up instead of down.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] sobrit:
If I go super fast, I get the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2" and then below that "Powered by Android," and it just freezes there. (If I go a little slower, I get that screen, and then it boots into the stock OS.)

I think I'm getting the timing, but the process seems to be freezing, as described above. Has anyone else with the same model (SM-T810) been able to solve this? Or is the timing really THAT sensitive? I can keep trying, but I've probably flashed twrp about 20 times, moving as fast as I can, and the best result I get is freezing on that one screen.

Thanks in advance for any help!

EDIT: I also see that I misspoke in my first post. The model is not the same as the comment I was replying to. Sorry for the confusion.
