Hello and good afternoon, @Emilson

Thanks very much for your suggestion. Usually we only close threads on request of the threadowner but as @faw_wal hasn't been seen on XDA for more than 3 years, I'm following your recommendation and close this thread.

Regards

Oswald Boelcke
[Android General] Frogberto:
no worries, i also managed to fix it with an ADB command I forgot. After using the ADB command I was able to toggle it and have the setting stick.
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Ughhhhhh, went through and installed all the interface apps, disabled KG client and software updates, restarted the phone, and..... Got stuck on this. Any ideas why?
[Android General] Emilson:
@iBowToAndroid looks like you set built-in system Lock screen pin or pattern, which I mentioned at the beginning that it doesn't work.

If you did it, I described how to turn it off, in "tips&apps' tab.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Finally, my device is alive again for use even not fully function as before

@Emilson! Thank you for your contribution as I was able to bypass the KG lock on my S22+ based on your very details guide. Thank you so much.

But I can't "Enable lock screen" option in Black hole - Lock screen app

(Lock screen is enabled) but it is not working...
[Android General] Emilson:
Make sure all necessary permissions are checked. For eg. in app info, 'appear on top'.

besides, this screen lock is more like a protection against accidentall touch when the phone is in your pocket or somewhere. Unfortunately is very easy to bypass, but I didn't have time to look for a better solution.
[Android General] Emilson:
I thought you don't need alternative apps anymore ;)

Anyway, does it make a difference compared to the 'shortcut maker' app from main post? because that one worked fine for me from beginning, as desktop shortcut or even assigned to the nav button.

Maybe the security difference metter at this point? I don't know.

Check for 'One ui home' launcher updates in Galaxy store.(Mine updated is to v13.1.07.3)

You can try @HDinfocel app if it does any difference.

(Btw 'shortcut creator' is also available in playstore)

PS. With premium navigation bar apps you can assign shortcut function to one of the buttons.

I won't give any exact links but you can easily find on google every 'premium' app for yourself, if you know what I mean;D
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Nope, didn't do that
[Android General] Emilson:
So no idea..

Maybe you don't have 'one ui home' launcher(com.sec.android.app.launcher) for flip model, so maybe you have to install some alternative app, i don't know.

If usb adb is working you can use 'adb app control' and check if you have 'one ui home' app in your system, or install some alternative launcher app thru it.
[Android General] Frogberto:
Sadly, updated my apps and tried APK for One UI Home and wasn't able to fix it. Already tried @HDinfocel shortcut and it's the same thing. Must be part of the disabled setting on A13 April 1st patch.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Damn, it! After playing around to eliminate the Silent Notifications

NOW, all message apps such as (Messenger, Messages, WhatsApp,...) don't get sound notifications & only pop-up ... SO SAD

Any methods to solve....

EDIT 1: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...cation-sounds-not-working/td-p/2776273/page/2

EDIT 2: factory reset and do it all again BUT still no notifications sound - DON'T KNOW WHY ???

Have checked google & found that I'm not alone https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/galaxy-s21-series/notification-sounds-issues/td-p/5528316

Seem Samsung hardware & software issues
[Android General] Emilson:
if an app is showing you unnecessary notifications, go to its app info and just turn off its notifications. you don't need to modify anything in android system.

My screen is clear of unnecessary notifications, after that.

*to reset what you did try go to

system settings-> apps -> . . . 3dots options, You can 'reset app preferences' just after make sure that apps that needs to be blocked are still disabled.

Btw I'm using premium interface apps so I turned of unnecessary status bar icons, changed statusbar color to permanent black, etc.

I did all this bypass things last year, and i dont remember many things about this.

I still didn't fix status bar in full screen too, lock screen and one more, something...

sorry, I don't have much time to write specific solutions

But I'll try to answer as much as possible in my free time
[Android General] FuzzyJeffery:
👍 excellent work, thanks

Anybody tried to install software update after bypassing kg lock?
[Android General] Emilson:
Some people used bypass with the latest firmwares, so probably it can be done.

Just im not sure if software update triggers kg lock again or not.

I haven't tried because i don't have a time to play with the phone right now in case it reLock phone again.

Ps. I will update the bypass steps with stock interface working, but maybe next month, when I find some time for it.

I already did it a few months ago, but i caught reLock few times so I just need to refine it.
[Android General] hromoy86:
This method is very cool, useful and works! Huge thanks to the developers.

There is only 1 question: without resetting the phone to factory settings, how can I turn off the firmware update and disable messages about the presence of an update? I'm afraid that the wife will update)))
[Android General] Emilson:
@hromoy86 disabling Software Update which I described in 'useful tips&apps' didn't work for you?
[Android General] hromoy86:
Oh thanks, I missed this message, happy with the result

Now I have another problem - I am not registered in the mobile operator's network when installing my wife's SIM card. With my sim card of another operator it works without problems
[Android General] Emilson:
@hromoy86 Ouch, it looks like some carier lock/sim lock.

I didn't have this case but I've seen this on youtube.

Probably needs to be unlocked using some code or with some unlocking tool app, but I don't know anything about this case.
[Android General] fitrockx:
My S23 (kg locked) don't have notifications sounds either. And the "notification app" in settings that the guide you posted mentions, doesn't exist. Not even on my daily phone (S22 Ultra) which is not kg locked.
[Android General] Emilson:
I have a system sound and a notification, I even had to turn off notifications in 'one shade' app because they were duplicated.

I had no notifications only when for the first time I completely disabled the entire system ui app.

maybe the software version matter, idk

View attachment 5898991View attachment 5898993
[Android General] fitrockx:
She is not referring to that settings, she meant under the apps. The guide she posted shows a "Notification app" under Apps in settings. Picture attached. Which is fake.

In my case the notifications appears fine and the phone vibrates when they come in but it doesn't sound at all. Only the calls sounds. I believe the issue could be because of the security patch we're on, maybe.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
You are right.

My phone gets pop-up notifications and vibrations only with silent (no sound at all)

only Call rings, & in-app VoIP apps call rings, Emergency alert, Alarm => are Ok

BUT most text message apps, gmail, google and system notifications come with silent (no sound) even though all settings have been checked to "sound mode" and max volume
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Which is your device model? You owned S22+ too?

What is your software version?
[Android General] Emilson:
Nope, i have mid-range A52s 5G (sm-A528B)

[Android General] czermar:
I have the same issue.

Phone: S21 Ultra, Android 12, Security patch: Feb 2022
[Android General] yxd0018:
Hi,

I have S20FE KG locked. Can anyone tell me how I can factory reset the phone? From test mode, ADB is not enabled.
[Android General] Emilson:
what about recovery mode?

'Power' button + 'Volume Up' button to boot in recovery mode, just phone must be connected via usb to any device like pc/laptop
[Android General] yxd0018:
adb is working with "update from ADB" in recovery mode, but ADB is not enabled in test mode, which I heard to use samsung special tool to bypass KG. *#0808# not working neither.
[Android General] yxd0018:
Have you bypassed KG in s20? Which security patch do you have? How do you enable ADB in test mode?
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
But you asked about factory reset. And factory reset CAN be done via Recovery mode
[Android General] yxd0018:
Not with KG enabled/locked. It will go back to knox update mode.

With 'Alliance Shield X' Using Qr Code, I can get in. But after factory reset , it goes back to knox update mode.

Not sure if I should treat alliance as the new org to continue using the KG phone given all the issues mentioned on page 1 of this thread by @Emilson. I was thinking of logging to some org then factory reset the phone to disable the KG. Maybe I was wrong and KG can't be disabled at all.
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
1. I have no idea what "Knox Update mode" means

2. KG can absolutely be bypassed. Now, "disabled", i don't know...
[Android General] yxd0018:
These are the pages I reached right after linking up with wifi and the back button just reset the phone again. I think it's blackberry work on top of KG.

View attachment 5900325View attachment 5900323

I read all the posts in this thread. Haven't tested all the functionalities, not sure if I want to live with these known trade-offs or just keep using my old phone.
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Yeah whatever this is, is more than KG
[Android General] fitrockx:
The bypass posted by Emilson does not mention anywhere the Samsung Special Tool bypass method. We can't respond for other guides you have heard. In this one, if you're having issue, follow the video posted in the guide to help you a bit and read all the methods he posted with the useful tips and comments we have posted. I have a S23 with March 2023 security patch and was able to bypass it. And it's just a bypass, it can't be disabled nor eliminated. Also, I am able to factory reset through recovery option even if it's KG locked. If you can't, then this guide isn't probably useful for your device.
[Android General] NoltsTechs:
I have the same phone (S20 FE), use the "Lycan Bypass - Pc Adb Method" to bypass before you connect to wifi and complete the setup. Do not go through the steps and setup a work account, those screens will be bypassed. On the very first screen after factory reset click on emergency call and dial *#0#* to open test mode. You can enable adb in test mode using free app "Samfw FRP tool"
[Android General] hamza2512:
yes i have notification of all app and it work fine the only thing that is not work is lock screan and notification panel and the recent app
[Android General] hamza2512:
is that phone linked to microsoft account 🤔 if it is i have a solution for you
[Android General] NoltsTechs:
I should state however my phone is S20 FE with Android 11, One Ui 3.1 with November 2021 security patch level. At first I too did not have the "factory reset" option available in my recovery mode (I think its an option that can be disabled by whoever sets the MDM lock). I managed to fix that with Samfw frp tool using "softbrick fix" in download mode tab of the tool. This made my phone throw an error stating that it couldn't start due to missing files or something and that I needed to factory reset it. Also I've found the app "iLock" lock screen works great without being able to be easily bypassed, give it a go guys!.
[Android General] labsouza:
I wasn't able to reproduce the procedure posted too, using the same security patch from March first.

It seems that Knox license validation can not be done using the splashtop, then lycan app does not work without this license
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Do you mean you have all SOUND notification of all apps ?

WOW, so strange... same model (me too S22+) same method bypass why mine so different ?!

Which software and patch version do you have ?

Can you check Apps setting - Android System app, does it has 'Background Activity' is on under notifications categories?

=> Bellow are the Disable & Uninstall applications I did...Do I miss or do something wrong?

[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
Bad news guys...

Seems that Samsung issued a server side patch related to Knox enrollment. I haven't tested it yet, but that means that this method likely no longer works, as Splashtop wouldn't be able to get a Knox license
[Android General] Emilson:
I felt that they might release an security update for May that will screw up everything.

Btw. Knox enrolment,

I don't remember why I decided to block the 'knox enrolment' app, probably because of the first guides about kg bypass that i found on YT.

But to be honest, now i have 'knox enrolment' app enabled (other knox apps as well) and nothing happens.

To prevent KG Locking acces to adb/mtp (not sure about phone calls) i disabled just one function in 'Device Services' (com.samsung.android.KgClient)

-Receivers: 'systemIntentReceiver'

When i triggered KG Lock by enabling systemui services back, phone still have access to adb.

Actually enabling knox apps fixed my problem with acces to permissions in apps like location,storage,camera, etc. so maybe it will be helpful in fixing other isues.

[Android General] fitrockx:
In my case, doing this sends incoming screen off calls straight to mailbox. For the people having the same incoming screen off call issue, I would keep devices services disabled.
[Android General] Emilson:
I don't have calls locked, so its a different case where that one function disabled is enough.

You probably have to disable little bit more.

I prefer to disable as little as possible to keep functionality as much as possible.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Can you capture your device, which apps did you disabled / uninstalled please !?

How can I enable Device services with only SystemIntentReceiver blocked? Manually enable/disable one by one thru Lycan app ?

Other system interface app such as status bar, lockscreen, .... Can be used after that ?

For thoes who missing notification sound for apps

=> Please, install this below app then enable it solved
[Android General] fitrockx:
If you have device services disabled already, in Lycan disable in the receiver section: SystemIntentReceiver and Device Services, pick both at the same time (if you didnt receive calls with the screen off, if you did receive calls fine then dont disable Device Services, only SystemIntentReceiver) that should disable those receivers and it automatically re-enables the application. At least, that's how mine did. And no, the interface apps can't be used still. We'll have to wait for the updated guide he mentioned when he has the time to do it.

Thank you for bringing up that workaround for the notifications sounds.
[Android General] hromoy86:
When I insert a SIM card into a phone locked by the operator, it works and shows the operator, accepts the Internet settings. After unlocking, the phone stops working with the SIM card and writes that it is not registered on the network. Maybe we are blocking some extra parameter when unlocking. Help solve the problem please

Hi all!

I decided my issue with locked network - I had to disable PIN-security om SIM-card

Now I calibrate phone for my wife and I have additional questions

1. After reboot app One Shade is not working and I have to start it again and give it permissions settings again - how I can resolve this issue?

2. In One Shade I can't enable/disable in one touch GPS, Wifi and others options. It is very uncomfortable for me
[Android General] ebowen 747:
I have sm-g9980 S21u. The adb method works but when I reboot it turns kg lock back on. I have been on Android 13 but reverted to 12 to try this. Any thoughts?
[Android General] fitrockx:
Hello, I did the Lycan Bypass (no PC) and I have been using Samsung Dex daily.
[Android General] Dmatzjr:
So I'm having a huge problem. Like most on here I bought a Samsung Galaxy S23 ( SM-S911 ) and it was kg locked almost two weeks after I got it. Anyways I have tried the methods that y'all have put on here but I can't get adb from test mode and when I do alliance, I only have a short time before the kg lock screen flips back on and I'm locked out. What can I do?
[Android General] fitrockx:
Hello, I can relate. Everytime you're gonna try this, do a factory reset again. What I did, since I already had a USB OTG adapter, I saved the apks needed to a USB drive and did the Lycan Bypass no PC method, but using my USB drive to install the apps. Also I removed the sim card, only used wifi untill bypassed. And since you have a S23, in my case, I had to install an uninstaller apk to be able to uninstall Splashtop to be able to install Lycan Ccswe app manager to continue the process. And do it as fast as possible.

That's what I did, since I couldn't get to adb from test menu.

Also, when I finished the bypass and rebooted to complete the setup. It wouldn't let me, it took me straight to Alliance. So I opened One UI launcher through Alliance manager and there I was able to complete it.
[Android General] Dmatzjr:
Ok. I'm going to have to go get a otg adapter and give this a try. I will let you know the result. Appreciate it!!
[Android General] fitrockx:
Hope you get it working. You're welcome.
[Android General] Emilson:
Btw. i used a micro sd card in a tutorial, isnt wiped at factory reset (at least in my case) so may be keept inside.
[Android General] warriorpluto:
These methods we have to factory reset before doing it? I got the stupid rent a center lock after buying from Facebook. I completely forgot to check for mdm lock since I was worried about the device being blacklisted before purchasing it. So I'll lose all my photos?
[Android General] fitrockx:
What method you did? What issue you have that you think it could be the Dex launcher?
[Android General] fitrockx:
Yes. Factory reset is necessary. You'll lose everything in the internal storage if it wasn't backed up in a cloud or saved in a micro sd, if capable.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
Only the middle-range Galaxy has external storage/SD card. High-end Galaxy such as S20~23, S20~23+, S20~23 Ultra, or some Note series doesn't have sd card (only built-in internal storage), BUT you can use OTG or Cloud storage instead...

In my case, I use adb method as quick as possible (prepare all the needed apps for transfer to internal storage)

As @fitrockx mentioned, remember to remove SIM until the bypass process DONE and reboot, and quickly disable wifi after splashtop grant Knox permission (only need internet for granting Knox permission at this stage)

That's cool, I try using Bixby Routines IT WORKs

I follow by this guide:

10 Cool Bixby Routine examples to automate your Samsung Phone | Digit

Bixby routines may not be as popular but they are a great way of automating your Samsung phones. These are simple 'if' 'then' commands that can be used to automate Samsung phones based on location, app actions, time of the day and several other conditions

www.digit.in

AND in the Oneshade Notification panel drop down (if we add some quick settings toggle such as: Extra Dim, Power saving, Dolby Atmos,...etc ) after that done it doesn't work - Only the quick settings toggle provided shortcut by default is acting...Any hints to make it works ?
[Android General] fitrockx:
The Galaxy S20 and Note 20 both supports Micro SD. He wasn't replying to Dmatzjr, he was just sharing the method he was able to use according to his device's capabilities. Like your case, that you could use ADB, and like me, that I could use USB OTG. The more information is shared, the better. In this way, people can try the one that their device allows them.

Also, I did the whole process with the wifi connected.
[Android General] Dmatzjr:
So I ordered a 128GB OTG thumb drive that is supposed to be here tomorrow (well today). Just to make sure that I've got my ducks in a row, I'm going to preload Lycan, splashtop and

So do I need to install the uninstaller apk onto the OTG too?
[Android General] fitrockx:
Yes. I would do that. I have the S23 with March 2023 security patch and I had to use the uninstaller app to be able to uninstall Splashtop to continue the rest of the process.
[Android General] fitrockx:
What bypass method you used?
[Android General] fitrockx:
Alright. Do this: Settings > Connected devices > Samsung Dex > enable Auto start when HDMI is connected. And try again.

If it doesn't work. Go to Lycan and in the 3 lines (hamburger), select Type: Any, State: Disabled and ok. It will show all the disabled apps, share a screenshot of that to see.

Then set State back to any. And search for System UI and make sure that the only disabled services are KeyguardService and SystemUiService.
[Android General] fitrockx:
Chrome can't be the only one. Verify that the type is set to Any instead of User, State Disabled, and share a screenshot showing the disabled apps.

No, Alliance doesn't conflict Lycan, but you can unistall alliance if you want.
[Android General] FuzzyJeffery:
it wasn't that, once I clicked on bell icon and ticked notification sound settings, option below ''Click to set notification sound'' was set on default, hence why it didn't work before. Now works like a dream 👍
[Android General] fitrockx:
All right try this: disable devices services

You can do it through adb command:

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

Or using SamFw tool in android section there is a package manager.

Then try again Dex.

If it works... go to Lycan manager, search Devices Services and under Receivers section, choose: SystemIntentReceiver and Device Services, pick both and hit disable. Then you should be good to go.
[Android General] fitrockx:
I turn the screen off by turning on and off AOD. Then pressing power key turn the screen off normally, the only thing is that every time the phone is rebooted, you need to toggle AOD on and off again or it won't work.

I don't use the recent apps shortcut tho, what I do instead is use the Device Care widget: Optimization, which basically closes all open apps.
[Android General] coolpixs4:
I'm curious why Wolf OS's "Perseus kg bypass" method could disable MDM and KG BUT still retains the full system interfaces and ROM functionalities. They might moding System UI apk & disable the calling KG app inside and run as system app update during bypass process...?
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
No, they're not modding the APK. They're doing basically the Alliance bypass, but with their own app loaded that can obtain the Knox license and do the necessary ADB commands at the appropriate times.
[Android General] hromoy86:
Is there any work being done on bypassing the kg state lock?

For example, for the full operation of the original interface from Samsung?
[Android General] iBowToAndroid:
I have a way to do it. Not free, although it is cheaper than Perseus
