For me the thread has been clarified, so I think I'm done with this topic.

Last hints,

● there is another app equivalent for Lycan app, similar method.

You need to install Sds addon knox, app should get knox license in first run, then disable klms, uninstall rds, install Ashell.

You need to give 'Ashell' administrator privileges manually, in 'biometrics and security' settings -> 'other security settings' -> 'Device admin Apps'. Then You can run the 'Ashell' application.

In 'Ashell' go to 'Other'-> 'App Component', search for 'SystemUi' and disable appropriate services.

if the knox/Admin process goes well, you can perform these actions, if not, the application doesn't show the 'services' list, stops responding, etc.

●For the Aliance Shield X method, after starting the AllianceX app in 'setup Wizard' you can go directly to the 'Home Screen' without triggering kg lock.

Find 'One ui home' / 'TouchWiz Home' / 'com.sec.android.app.launcher'.

Go to activity tab and select activity:

'com.sec.android.app.launcher.activities.LauncherActivity'.

Then we can move aroud the system, run apps, or uninstall 'splashtop' app just from the main screen thru pop-up menu by holding the app.

If you'll go too far, you may need to repeat the steps with AlianceX to go back to the home screen again.

Good luck everyone.

Bhai Cmd not working com.samsung.android.FactoryTestLauncher

3rd method not working
[Android General] wr3cckl3ss1:
Hmm...I wonder how this app got out. I'll make sure to let who's app that is...know...his app got stolen.
[Android General] RRiVEN:
Everyone was mad when the Shield had a login and so many anti theft protections but this happens if you don't. People only care about $$$ and fame for themselves.
[Android General] wr3cckl3ss1:
Crazy how things fly. It is what it is though. I see the plug being pulled real quick on that app.
[Android General] mdanish4:
Hey man, i am not able to do the Lycan method as it shows apk package invalid. I need to to enable usb debugging. I believe i am on July or higher security patch.

[Android General] RahilPatel:
Pal, you have been very helpful to the community in bringing up life to so many devices.

Keep up your good work.

I understand you also have certain limitations. The community certainly appreciates your help and efforts.

Good luck to you as well.
[Android General] RahilPatel:
i had similar issue. primary reason splash-top not getting uninstalled completely.

Try using 3rd party uninstaller, and then installing lycan app. It will certainly work.

Also for checking security patch, you go check that from allianceX> open settings> about phone> software info. You will find security level over there.

Can Anyone Help Me Launch Activity Not Working A21s Android 12 Admin App Enable And Knox License Working But Launch Activity(cmd) not working
[Android General] srikanth444:
Try to download again bro did you uninstall splashtop before installing lycan?
[Android General] karl_mel:
Its just used to help others no one in this forum is making money out of it
[Android General] seojun2343:
Enough.

Well, who do you think the author of the app is?
[Android General] srikanth444:
Which app you are talking about? Alliance or lycan?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Neither lycan nor alliance shield. The last one, with the video, app which is written in Korean.
[Android General] srikanth444:
Are you the Author? then how come it got out without your permission and everystep for the app to get work accurately including the password? in this form that app was shared on 3rd sep 2023, but if u google it it was available from 1st sep 2023 (you can google it your self) no one in hereclaims the ownership or credits for making that app they just shared a method which was already rollingout throughout the internet. we were giving him the credit for just sharing that method in the forum not for making the app. hope you get it. and if you are the aurthor we wish you to fing the person responsible for your personal development leak. have a good time. and i personally thank the maker of the app ofr helping us out.
[Android General] seojun2343:
That app's purpose is NOT to bypass such thing, and I'm here to block it. Don't ask me help.
[Android General] seojun2343:
Yes, I'm the author. That app was originally intended to be in private organization without such purpose on here. Somebody leaked the app, and that's why it's here. Yes I know they made exe but who did permission them to use it? Well, I can't block already used ones. Sure, but remember, it won't be able to use in the future.
[Android General] srikanth444:
Sad to hear that bro. hope you get the person responsible for leaking your work. were you able to disable the application now?
[Android General] bestsofttj:
you can say to EFT Dongle (Easy Firmware), Griffin- Unlocker and another, not to us. We are only use this leaked or AloneGSM, because author of this Solution AloneGSM!
[Android General] seojun2343:
Sure. Seems you only have made exe using those. The reason why I sent it here, is because I got to know about leak here. Nevermind, key will be revoked soon.
[Android General] bestsofttj:
yes, but create exe its outlow?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Not sure. I guess you don't have any large responsibility on this leak, but I'd like to ask you, to check if it has author, according to package name. It contained timetable, right? Why would timetable conyain Knox functions for public usages?
[Android General] bestsofttj:
Ok, but who are you?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Huh?
[Android General] bestsofttj:
about what?
[Android General] karl_mel:
Sir what was the purpose of the app I would like to know
[Android General] seojun2343:
Internal device management and test of Knox API. We already had one app and merged it.

[Android General] bestsofttj:
can you say, what do your app?

change KG Locked to Active

Can you describe goal of app?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Huh, didn't I say? Internal management and testing. I already achieved the goal of this and abandoned it, resulting in this. Lesson learned in the hard way.
[Android General] seojun2343:
Stop. Hey at least show some damn respect. You're trying to bypass kg lock using an app which has license of ours.
[Android General] karl_mel:
So how long will this app last will it stop working any time from today
[Android General] wasimwanthelp:
No He Is Fake Person 😒 (😅)
[Android General] seojun2343:
Sure. If you think so, come watch the app being plugged out. Won't take so long, around an week.
[Android General] karl_mel:
How

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-kg-state-locked-bypass.4072581/post-88978757
[Android General] Emilson:
Well... I was about to leave the thread alone

but there was one thing I've been wondering in 'KG Unlock' method.

Now i tested it and im sure, so I need to clarify it.

There is NO NEED TO USE 'AT COMMANDS' to change KG Status, You can skip this part.

Has nothing to do with the next steps, espacially when commands are used incomplete.

(The AT command procedure is only for eg. changing the serial number - if used properly)

The only important thing to change KG Status to: ACTIVE is use 'FactoryTestLauncher' app thru 'com.ddms.timetable' app.

(tested on android 13, one ui 5.1 august 2023 security patch).
[Android General] karl_mel:
thanks master how did you manage to install 2.apk in 1 august security patch I got some errors

[Android General] mdanish4:
Is this true? As i am trying but i am getting false at knox activation

@emilson
[Android General] shubhsaxena2003:
Try to use smt shell method
[Android General] mdanish4:
Can you elaborate? First time hearing about this method. Might be an overlooked by my side.
[Android General] shubhsaxena2003:
@mdanish4 have a look at this. It's the same method without the Korean app
[Android General] farg0o0o:
my s21 fe with security for May 2023.After factory settings and entry through the klms dial I have immediately DISABLED. I don't know why. Because of this, I can neither enable debugging (enter the settings at all) nor use the otg option (it does not detect the flash drive at all, and I checked on 2 other phones, including s21 fe)

I also tried utar, but when I try to install by step1 still does not find the device (although in sgtk went well, I did the processes as in the video / in the guide.) I don't know what to do anymore.
[Android General] farg0o0o:
At what point is debugging enabled? I followed these steps and it did not enable debugging or security from May. I'm not very good at this game.
[Android General] mdanish4:
can you tell me please what were the extra steps you did? i am in the same boat. I have Lycan bypass.
[Android General] karl_mel:
Any hint maybe
[Android General] srikanth444:
Enable klms agent from alliance and remove owner and admin permissions for alliance. And uninstall alliance then reboot. It should work.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
Greetings gentlemen. My respect from Ukraine)

I am the owner of S23 Ultra which I bought as normal, but after updating it turned out to be blocked for non-payment. I will leave all these lyrics, now on to business. With this method, I unlocked the device on the July 2023 patch. So what and how, for those who are new)

Importantly!

I wiped the device with a factory reset and cleared the cache. With the KG Lock status, launch on the first window where the language is selected, if it is left without action for the first time, it will show the lock window after 7-10 minutes. after rebooting after 5. If the device is rebooted every 5-6 minutes, it will give more time before the lock appears

Importantly 2.0!

Having done everything in the mode of the first launch of the device (google one time init), do not waste time: if you open the settings and try to enable ADB in the developer mode in Develop mode, you will not get there after looking for the serial number and other things.

The method of receiving adb via UART did not work in my case, so I came to the following algorithm:

- downloaded Alliance shield x by pre-registering.

- Launched Chrome, having previously uploaded an application with a Korean interface to the cloud, tentatively name it admin.apk and downloading this application to the device's memory

- reboot (we need to always have time left, so every 5-6 minutes is fine)

- I enter the Alliance shield application again, open my files, give permission to install third-party applications

- I run the admin.apk, enter the password, I get administrator rights.

- I press USB settings and change MTP to MTP+ADB

- Getting knox

- reboot

- I enter the Alliance shield application again

- then according to the instructions, I skip the UART and immediately run step1.bat

We get enabled adb, admin.apk with administrator permission and then enter the commands.

Importantly. Test mode does not work under the full system interface, only in Google one time init download mode

After completing all operations (AND WE DON'T FORGET TO TURN ON wi-fi and get Knox)

After correct implementation of all points, everything works. I got OTA for June and still working

---------------------------------------------

after gaining access to the device i factory reset it again and everything works
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
I have provided you, dear friends,

with the most accurate procedure that saved me from paying people who want money for it. But I also have a question and a request for you.

Now explain to me exactly what this app did. I understand that we have changed the status of KG Lock to Active. I understand that we did it by calling knox, activity in it, replaced some parameter with "41 s16 'null'" inside the service and... what? when upgrading to a higher version of the bootloader will it crash again? can't we get android 14 that way either? What kind of process took place in these three teams?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Trigger's already pulled. Some are being affected immediately while some has some more time. But don't worry, it won't take long as I promised.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
Greetings dear. How can I understand from the messages earlier that you are the person who has the copyright for this program?

I understand that in the next security update this method will already be closed) but please explain to me how it happened that there was a leak of information and what the program did to switch the status? This question is purely out of curiosity
[Android General] seojun2343:
Sure, let me explain. One of internal user in our group leaked. Terminated the access but still the app is leaked.

License revokation. It takes about an week but not that long, right?

Authorization of copyright? I have another version and source of that app. Is it enough?
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
Dude, I'm not planning to pick a fight with you, I'm just curious as to how it worked out. Please understand correctly. There are people who steal phones, bypass them and sell them as if they were normal, there are people who were knowledgeable enough and got into trouble because of it. I paid $1000 for the device thinking it was working properly, but in fact a person bought it for pennies from a pawn shop in Poland, installed a bypass and sold it here. In order to force this person to answer for his meanness, our police want $10,000 to solve the problem. How do you understand this is unreasonable. I am not a person who earns from unlocks, I am not a developer - just a user who was deceived. Therefore, those who are engaged in illegal activities - let it be according to their merits)
[Android General] karl_mel:
people in here already have the idea someone will recreate the app if possible
[Android General] seojun2343:
Oh. Apologies if that heard aggressive. I don't mean to fight you. I'd assume I'm mad about this situation so I got offensive. And I understand your situation too, that's not a good one. I'm just trying to prevent my account, being terminated. And if you really want copyright prove for curiosity I still keep Java KeyStore which was used for signing that leaked app.
[Android General] seojun2343:
I don't mind, as it doesn't affliate me and my license.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
My friend, I do not plan any proofs from you at all) The world is not fair, it may seem so at first glance and in seconds when you want justice right away, but time... time will put everything in its place) All the best to you and let justice find its place :)
[Android General] seojun2343:
I wish you best of luck too, first timd I felt warm here. :)
[Android General] farg0o0o:
Dude, kudos to you and your device, I think a few guys who were scammed by sellers got what they were supposed to buy because od you work, so you inadvertently put some good into the world. And I'm sorry about the leak, I hope you won't have big problems at work because of it.
[Android General] seojun2343:
Thanks. Well I don't find the people who were scammed has any responsibility on it. Too bad I can't help them. I'm processing my work's cases. Well I find that tool seller such as griffin unlocker but that's not the one I should talk here.
[Android General] farg0o0o:
when do you enable permission to install third-party applications? Does a window pop up for you or do you do it somehow separately?
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
The forum has become more comfortable) what can be better than normal human communication and respect...))
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
I already did, no change.

Do incoming calls work on your device, when the screen is off?
[Android General] fitrockx:
That's weird. Yes, mine works.
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
So then basically you just followed the guide that was posted, and then manually disabled those 2 packages?
[Android General] hamza2512:
wht did you do to disable devise services cus for me when i disable it it works perfectly even when the screan is off
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
If you're referring to Settings --> About --> Status --> Device Services, it's not off. It says "turned on"
[Android General] fitrockx:
Yes, with the only difference of using an uninstaller app to uninstall Splashtop at the beginning because I was unable to. Then, used the Knox option in SamFw and also disabled those 2 packages manually through cmd to be able to receive calls. I have S23 Andorid 13 with March security patch.
[Android General] hamza2512:
so you have to use adb tool to disable that one
[Android General] hamza2512:
then you have to check if it is disabled or not cus when i use cmd it didnt work for me but when i use adb tool it works
[Android General] fitrockx:
You're confusing me. Mine is working perfectly the way I posted. Just giving advice to "iBowToAndroid"
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Can you state your:

- model

- exact build

- current CSC values
[Android General] Emilson:
Maybe try to uninstall kgclient

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.samsung.android.kgclient

check in setttings-> biometric and security ->other security setting-> device admin apps, that no knox application is using administrator rights (like 'knox Enrolment app)
[Android General] fitrockx:
I don't think that's the issue because mine is on and I can receive calls with the screen off.
[Android General] Emilson:
?Shouldn't be anything unusual about it.

i meant your physical power button which you usually turn your phone on and off.

Only difference that could be is that sometimes 'power off menu' is set to 'power' + 'volume down' combination.

You have to disable kgclient app, etc.

i described that in "Useful tips&apps" tab as "Optional steps after Kg Lock bypass" Useful to unlock adb/mtp or phone calls.

Ok, Updated description in main thread as well.

☆You can create 'recent apps' button in your 'Navigation bar' app selecting 'Shortcut maker' as 'shortcut' button.

•that will open 'Shortcut Maker' app, so choose 'activities' option in it.

•Search there for: 'One UI Home' app.

•Select first action:

'com.android.quickstep.RecentsActivity'

•press create shortcut (you can customize it)

☆'shortcut' button may be a premium/paid option in some 'navigation bar' Apps

what I wrote there, wasnt finished solution, i missed many steps in this description. I don't have time to work on it anymore.
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Does anyone know of a free nav bar app where Recents actually works?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.nav.bar and also its clone with the blue icon don't work - nothing happens when you tap the Recents button
[Android General] Frogberto:
Hi, firstly want to say my appreciation for @Emilson! Thank you so much for your contribution as I was able to bypass the KG lock on my S23 Unlocked Ultra on Android 13 April 1st Security Patch (SM-S918U1).

In combination with this entire's thread tips & tricks with the latest version of the apps mentioned, I was able to successfully follow the steps.

Everything works as described but I'm still facing a weird bug with me being unable to re-enable Camera + Microphone access in the permission manager. Also trying to see if there are alternatives to the interface apps that are a lot more modern.
[Android General] Frogberto:
For some reason this shortcut also doesn't show recent apps "No recently used apps" when I know it false
[Android General] HDinfocel:
Application for recent

Shortcut Creator (com.alextern.shortcuthelper) [v.3.2.4].apk

drive.google.com
[Android General] Emilson:
Yeah mm having similar problem with granting permissions for any application that needs it.

To grant permissions for multimedia and folders, camera, microphone or GPS i have to tap directly on icon app and give it permission thru 'app info'. I guess that this bug comes after disabling knox apps.

I didn't have time to fix it.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
When you first install the application from the Files program, a warning about the ban appears, and then you can click to grant permission to a certain program. Or you can call Settings, the main activity and in the application grant the necessary rights through three dots, "special access rights"
[Android General] seojun2343:

Ohk

Yea i know
[Android General] kent2019:
I keep reading over and over again, but still can't enable USB debugging to go next step I'm think I'm on August patch got blocked.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
If Mr. seojun2343 is to be believed, the token is currently blocked, that is, it will not work. But, nevertheless, I think there could have been a mistake in the process. If you need to enable adb, then you need to install 1.apk, run it, enter the password, ask for administrator rights, and then switch mtp to mtp+adb. You may need to make the minimum scale of the screen elements, sometimes the field for entering the password is not displayed at the standard scale
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
wait a minute, upload screenshots
[Android General] seojun2343:
Glad I didn't put LinearLayout.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
done a minute ago
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
- ran the apk

- entered the password

- activated the admin

- launch usb settings
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
Bro, I don't think we can activate knox with your app anymore, but I think we can activate adb for other purposes :) I really hope you don't mind)
[Android General] seojun2343:
Sure go ahead, if you don't mess up with Knox. The app without Knox doesn't give any usages except for original one, school timetable.
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
That is, without a Knox license, others will not have the capabilities needed to activate adb, right?
[Android General] seojun2343:
Yes but, don't you need adb to install the app
[Android General] UnicodeMaster:
I understand adb is required for command to work for 2.apk and use screen emulator
