Where's Recovery?

Explanation: TWRP (custom recovery) is NOW available. Please visit

TeamWin

for

instructions

.

Workaround: Resolved as of August 6, 2019.

Magisk shows as 'Not Installed.'

Explanation: Magisk, due to the changes to the recovery partition in Android Pie & above, will not boot automatically. It requires user intervention.

Workaround: To enable root access, be prepared to hold 'Volume Up' and the 'Power' keys on EVERY BOOT or REBOOT.

WiFi stopped working after installing 'magisk_patched.tar' with Odin.

Explanation: Cause unknown as of January 31, 2020.

Workaround: In some cases, after introducing root ('magisk_patched.tar'), WiFi may stop working. If this happens, do the following:

From the app drawer, go to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.

Highlight and select your WiFi network.

Long press the network name and select "Forget Network".

Wait 3 to 5 seconds.

Press and click on the network in which you asked Android to forget.

Re-enter your password.

If entered correctly, WiFi will resume connectivity.

"Your phone is locked because the payment service was uninstalled."

OR

Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (vbmeta).

Explanation: To protect against various threats (e.g., compromised data, theft or root), Samsung, as of December 2017, introduced a series of low-level initiatives to LOCK the device should ANY part of Knox be compromised. These initiatives are frequently referred to as 'KG' (KnoxGuard) or 'RMM' (Remote Monitoring and Management).

Workaround: A workaround now exists, thanks to [MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION], but requires

TWRP

to be installed followed by the

Samsung multi-disabler

file.

If you do NOT intend to install TWRP, precautions MUST be taken not to freeze, disable or remove the following files:

'Payment Services' (com.samsung.android.kgclient)

'KnoxGuard' (knoxguard.apk)

In most circumstances, the issue will present itself immediately after the application(s) is frozen, disabled or removed. In rare circumstances, only after a device restart.

PRO-TIP: Do NOT reboot unless absolutely necessary; opt to power down the device.

Should you encounter EITHER error, you will need to boot into 'Download Mode', revert to original factory settings and verify your Google account to avoid an FRP LOCK.

To enter 'Download Mode' and recover from the error:

Connect a USB cable to your Laptop/PC.

With power-off on the device, hold down BOTH 'Volume Up' and 'Volume Down'.

Connect the USB cable to the device, while holding down both volume keys, and press 'Power'.

If done correctly, the device will boot to 'Download Mode'.

My Streaming Service won't log me in, no longer provides HD viewing or doesn't allow offline downloads.

Explanation: Widevine is a digital rights management platform used by major streaming companies to prevent piracy.

Workaround:

Resolved by [MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION] and his 'liboemcrypto disabler' via Magisk Manager and/or Custom Recovery (e.g, TWRP) as of April 4, 2018.

NOTE:

If you installed

TWRP

and flashed the

Samsung multi-disabler file

, this issue is resolved of as December 13, 2019.

If you do NOT intend to install TWRP, log-out and uninstall your streaming application(s). With root introduced and magisk enabled, download '

liboemcrypto

' from 'Modules' within Magisk Manager. You will be asked to restart after installing the module. Do this and re-enable Magisk on boot. Sideload your streaming application(s) from a source OUTSIDE the Playstore. Log in and resume streaming.
