I don't want to use Samsung Messages now. This left a bad taste in my mouth. I just want to go back to Google Messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] vikes4life:
*Update*

I was able to get into the ims settings thru the app alliance shield X. I enabled device admin and Knox and restarted my phone. I searched ims settings and went to activities and clicked ims settings main activity and opened. It worked and rcs should be there to enable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I can confirm this works but any app that can launch activities not sure about that. I tried Nova launcher it doesn't work. Thanks to you I figured it seems that device admin permission is required now to be able to open the IMS settings. Also to anyone who is planning to use Alliance shield x first go to app settings and toggle New App Manager Layout ON. I also took away the device admin permission after switching on Video over LTE and RCS. I am not comfortable with that app having device manager permission and everyone should do the the same unless they absolutely trust the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dave812:
I THINK I got it working using the video. Thank you!

My next question, which I believe the answer to is no, is are the chats via Samsung messages encrypted?

If not, I think I'll wait a bit longer. While I prefer samsung messages for its consistent theme and ability to pin chats, I think the encryption portion is the most I important reason for rcs to exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
NO it's not and it's still just in BETA for Gmessage too I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] knuschit:
No, its not. I am on CTL4, on a U1 Snapdragon. And I have Jibe enabled under Samsung Messages. The only thing that has changed is how you access IMS Settings. Instead of using Google Phone (which is now blocked) you can use any Activity Launcher to go to the app IMS Settings (com.samsung.advp.imssettings) and launch com.samsung.advp.imssettings.MainActivity which will take you to the settings that were once found under google phone.

And it's the exact same process as before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] knuschit:
SMS is but RCS isnt but they are rolling out encryption now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
I was referring to encryption
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pimpmaneaton:
Any one on Verizon with U1 android 11 have any luck getting RCS features to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] knuschit:
Ah, i missread, my bad
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] a1atif:
Alliance Sheild X method worked but i noticed i am not getting some messages sent by Friends. switching back to Google messages. I am on Unlocked Note 20 Ultra on Tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] knuschit:
I just quit using Samsung Messages for an older issue that ive been having since before RCS which is that sometimes my group messages send separately. I had issues with sending before but i found they were related to Google Carrier which still hasnt been updated since after they found it was causing issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] gpap2004:
I can confirm it is working for my Galaxy note 10 umlocked android 11 UI 3.0.

Now I have RCS on samsung messaging app!!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
So since Activity Launcher X is not longer accepting registraion since Samsung puled their Knox license does anyone know of other activity launchers that have admin access to get into the IMS settings?

Edit: nevermind, they helped me make an account, and they are working on getting it back up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Now that I have the app up and running, when I try to run the activity it says the service can't be opened...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pieces of cake:
I give up. Following the steps in this thread resulted in the total loss of RCS features in both Google Messages and the stock messaging app. I suppose a hard reset is in my near future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
Looks like CTLB update for the U1 blocked this trick again.

Or could be Shield X has no Knox license.

One of the 2. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Alliance Shield X has lost its Knox license and to open IMS settings Knox license is needed. So Samsung is being pain in the a**

Yes shield X's key is expired. So unless Samsung renews it or we can find another app with Knox license and activity access, we are stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
This is the kind of stuff that makes me regret buying a Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I agree. This Knox license requirement came with their android 11 upgrade earlier it wasn't needed. I don't understand why they f*** with customers for no good reason. We can still get these Video over LTE features and all by flashing U rom via Odin but why the hell should we do that when a few tweaks were letting us enjoy our unlocked phones with carrier features (Carrier which We are using and paying to) why Samsung had to take it away. This carrier control is fuc**Ed up situation in America and this should go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pieces of cake:
LOL. Settle down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Agreed. There is no reason for a carrier to make decisions on what you can and cannot use I you bought an unlocked phone straight from Samsung. Like how is it fair That Verizon gets to tell me what I can and cannot use on my own phone that I bought straight from Samsung and not them. And screw Samsung for conforming to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jaredcadz:
Any luck yet with the shield x replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
None yet. Sadly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
According to their discord, SAMSUNG issued them a new license, but haven't cleared their old one.

That being said, all code to disable apps is being removed because THAT is what breaks the knox TOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Updated again but can't open IMS SETTING
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jaredcadz:
Thanks! Just got a brand new SD S20+. Hoping to get RCS working on this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
OK good news is, it (Alliance Shield X) just got updated on my phone and their Knox license is back and I can confirm that I was able to switch the IMS setting to On.

@hayabusa1300cc it works now. Try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Funny, waited all that time, and when now that I'm finally able to change the settings chat features still don't show up in samsung messages..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I can confirm i have it, Its called Chat Settings. Sometimes you need to go to google messages and switch of the RCS there (Chat Features) for Samsung Messages Chat settings to work. Try that may be.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Yup, turned off chat features in Google messages, went thru the steps to turn everything on in ims settings, and nothing. No option for chat settings anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
OOps sucks, what service are you on. i am on Tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jaredcadz:
Was able to turn in chatting+messages on the Korean S20+. However I can't seem to send and receive RCS on it. Is there a provisioning delay?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
I only get unable to start activity. Unlocked on T-Mobile. On Sprint I had native RCS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] jaredcadz:
Was able to fix it with a phone restart. Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Did you toggle the knox switch? Make sure your settling page of Alliance shield app looks like my screen shot and then when you open the IMS settings it will look like my other screen shot.. Then you have to go to activities tab and select the first from the list and pick open and now you will see the IMS settings.. Just toggle the RCs switches like instructed in first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
That worked! Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Guess I'm just always going to be using Google messages :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Thanks to Verizon I guess. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] nprev420:
Can't get this to work on Verizon using samsung messenger but does with google messenger. Has anyone got it working on Verizon with samsung messenger?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
I'm on Verizon too and I have the same problem, I think it's Verizon that is c**k blocking us this time. Pretty sure it's because they want you to use their messaging app instead. Why they block it on unlocked models tho is beyond me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pieces of cake:
I think it's only fair that I return here to mention that just now, seemingly out of nowhere, my RCS/Chat features suddenly started working within Google Messages. No idea how or why, but it's back. Not messing with the native Samsung Messages app again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] pieces of cake:
Maybe because they can. Verizon is the most overrated carrier by far and they have the least amount of respect for their customers. Their pricing and plans tell most of the story.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Agreed, I would switch if my work wasn't the one provided my cellular service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bblanski:
I have the chat settings on Verizon with stock messaging app running stock firmware and it does absolutely nothing. I also have a a Sprint s20 ultra and the stock messaging app rcs works just like Google Messages. Set up Google Messages on my Verizon phone and it will send chat to my s20 and anyone else who has RCS enabled. I don't know I read somewhere that Verizon uses their own RCS or something. Tired of dealing with it and ready to jump ship. Oh yeah the reason I want stock messages is because of my watch..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Same, I want stock messages because my watch also, I mean the watch works with Google messages I just hate having it ask me every time to switch to samsung messages every time I open it on the watch. More of a pet peeve then anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bblanski:
Exactly!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] guammie08:
Followed the guide using alliance shield x to re-enable RCS on my unlocked s20 FE (I couldn't find any other working guides). Was able to get chat back on stock but I noticed it only works for those using samsung messages, messages going to those on google messages were sent as texts or not sent out at all. I didn't receive any of them until I switched back to google messages. ugh, it seems like I have to go back to google messages for now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] konoplya:
what do all the options that we have to switch ON do?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] konoplya:
RCS features seem to stick whether i register or unregister with google messages. however, either way, in my samsung messages i do have some options missing in the settings like "shared video quality" and "shared image quality" settings, regardless of whether i'm registered or unregistered. not sure if others have the same issue. i'm on unlocked S20 with Tmobile in the US
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dalumberjack:
Have a unlocked Note20 ultra 5G on Verizon with UI 3.0, tried the alliance app with admin privileges & knox; still could not access ims settings even after a reboot.

Have been using Google messages for a while, but lately have not been receiving mms and other random texts. Tried samzubg messages, which lead me here to find out why no rcs.

Hope someone can find another work around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Look at this post.

is your settings same as on that post, please read that post and follow and let us know if that works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dalumberjack:
Ah! Thank you.

Don't know how I missed that post.

So I was able to switch everything on as shown / instructed in the first post. Now waiting to see if samsung messages prompts me for rcs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bblanski:
Hope it works but I have tried everything and searched everywhere and nothing works unless I use the stock Verizon firmware, then I get prompted for chat services but it doesn't seem to do anything. I also have a s20 ultra but on Sprint and the stock Samsung messages works just like Google from jibe. So Verizon has jacked it all up..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dalumberjack:
So far not working. Cant get RCS through any texting app other than google messages (yes, I unsubscribed from google messages and all other steps first).

I also do not have native video calling. I still only get the option for google duo, even with calling someone else on verzion who has a verzion branded S20 ultra.

So, looks like verizon has us beat on using native features with an unlocked phone.

My question is, if you had a verizon branded phone, paid it off and had verizon unlock it, would you loose access to these features too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
I have an unlocked version bought from Sammy, and I have the same problem with it on Verizon, I don't think it will matter either way if you have them unlocked it or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bogarty:
I managed to launch "IMS Settings" from the Samsung stock phone dialer on my Note20 Ultra SM-N986U1 by entering the code "*#77467#". There is only a toggle for RCS under "IMS Service Switch" though, which I switched on. No "MMTEL" or anything else. There is also no "RCS Configuration" on the main page. I'm guessing this is an Android 11 thing right? I really don't want to give my personal info to register with this "Alliance Shield X" app. Not sure I'd even be able to access any more settings in IMS even if I did give the Alliance app admin permission.

SCREENSHOTS:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Hi, you definitely can see more when using aliiancd shield X to open the IMS settings. I had tried this before Alliance shield x but this isn't solving the purpose. I understand your apprehension about personal data. I had too. But that is your decision to make. Also know that this is one time activity you can uninstall the app after the activity till the next update hits your phone or you factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mara33:
I've been trying to get this to work with AT&T prepaid, without luck. Alliance Shield is currently down and it seems very sketchy to say the least. Would love alternative work arounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
So new problem, after trying to get RCS on Samsung Messages again. Now I am unable to get RCS on Google Messages. It's been stuck on trying to verify my number for a while and I'm not sure why. So technically I don't have RCS working on either now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] bblanski:
That same thing actually happened to me and couldn't reset it for whatever reason. I did find info that after 8 days(I think that is what it was) it should automatically reset. I did not wait because I being impatient and changed my number and it worked right away. So if you are attached to your phone number be patient and see if it works around the 8th day..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Unfortunately it's a work provided number, so changing it is not an option. Guess I'm waiting 8 days..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MarkoParkovic:
Same problem here, all work on google messages but for some reason chat settings just wont appear on samsung messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
You on Verizon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MarkoParkovic:
Nope, other carrier from Serbia but same problem as you have on Verizon, can have chat settings to appear in sam. Messages
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Fatmonk8:
Just wanted to give an update that the 8 days thing seemed to work. Waited and keep chat settings off for 8 days until today, when I turned it back on it immediately connected and RCS is back again.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XENODROME:
hello,

I have a nubia z11 mini s(bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed) so yesterday I flashed a rom which I downloaded from getdroidtips.com/resurrection-remix-nubia-z11-mini-s/

, I've flashed lineage os 14.1(android 7) and mokee OS 9.0(android) successfully and they worked fine, then I thought about flashing resurrection remix (android 7.1.2) on my Nubia z11 mini s. When I flashed it using TWRP it showed an error: ERROR 7.

So I searched about that error and I got to know that you have to modify a script which is present in -> RR-N-v5.8.2-20170309-nx529j\META-INF\com\google\android

and you have to remove the assert part which checks the model of your phone and if it is correct then it starts to flash and if it's not correct then it aborts. The reason why I did this is that when I tried installing mokee os 9 I got the same error and fixed it by removing the assert section in the updater-script. Then I zipped everything together then proceeded with the next step

now it was time to flash but my phone's battery was 8% so I plugged in the charging cable and continued the flashing process while charging my phone(was this wrong ?), so, then I booted to TWRP and wiped system,data,Dalvik/ART, cache and then installed the zip after that when I hit reboot phone turned off but it didn't restart, so I removed the cable and plugged it back in AND I DIDN'T SAW THE CHARGING LOGO, ONLY THE RED LED WAS BLINKING. PLS HELP ME I DO HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED AND BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED.

Hello,

I expirienced the same issue. After upgrading my Nubia Z11 mini S to Lineage acc. [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][8.1.0][nx549j] LineageOS 15.1 for Nubia z11 mini s [21/10/2018] it ran for arround 3 weeks. One morning I heard a little sound like battery low and I could not reboot it. In the first moment only all 3 LED's where on. Trying to access TWRP by PWR/VOL- severeal times ended up with a flashing home button LED when it is connected to USB.

I tried also the Nubia emergency tool V1.1.6. Some times I could manage to have a successful recover by means of pressing PWR/Vol- button. Nevertheless the phone does not boot.

Was there a solution for this issue or can I consider it now as bricked?
