How to Remove MDM Control from Android?​

For anyone suffering from this issue, the following are the steps to bypass Samsung Knox factory reset protection:

First of all, create a password for the device.

Make sure that your device is charged to an 80% or greater charge.

Next, you’ll need to go to Settings and Security Encrypt Device tabs respectively.

Set a PIN/password for your device.

After you have secured your device and it’s gone through. Reboot the device, and when it boots, it will ask you to enter a password in order to access your device to view encrypted data. If you type the wrong password 15-20 times (it depends on your device), it’ll wipe your device of any information and will restart and then appear like you’re registering as a brand new device after a factory reset.

you have to be able to *#0*# in the emergency dialer to pull up the HW test screen

use a tool to enable adb

pull up adb cmd line

adb shell

pm disable-user --user 0 com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms

do not factory reset or you will probably have to do it again

i just did it on an A51 and it worked. the samfw tool should bypass it though without doing all that and its free.

I am looking for "s2 style" apps for Contacts and Calendar for use on my Sprint Vogue. For example, I would like t scroll thru Contacts like s2 does with music CD covers. Also, by the way, I have tried Thumbcal and its ok.

I hope AC is working on something like these, or if someone can point me similar apps. Facecontact is cool, but i dont want a plug-in...

Thanks!

Hi all

I have a Samsung S20 Ultra with a memory card that all of my photos are saved to, unfortunately I had to take my phone into Samsung experience store for a screen / back cover repair, the staff removed my Memory card and told me to factory reset due to GDPR as the device had to be sent away, when my device returned in the post 5 days later I went to put the memory card back in and a notice appeared stating the memory card is encrypted to a different device! I am totally devastated as there are pictures of my father who has passed away and other images that they are the only copies I have, I know now I should have unencrypted the memory card before the factory reset. I have spoken to Samsung directly so say there is nothing that can be done.

does anyone know of a way I can get round this I would be so very grateful! :(

Thanks in advanced

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
The best thing I could suggest is a third party solution that may be able to decrypt the information on the card, such as FeExplorer. Check to see if you have a "Decrypt SD card" option in the Lock Screen and Security settings, although I suspect it won't be able to do it.

The problem is, the encryption key is unique and stored in user data. When data is wiped during a factory reset, the key is wiped as well, so even if the user configures the same lock settings (password, pattern, etc) they key would be different.

I am not aware of an absolute solution, but here is what I would strongly suggest you do:

If able, make sure the contents of the card are backed up. Use cloud storage such as Google Drive.

Keep the card in a safe place; maybe put it in a small envelope or something, and mark it in such a way as to discourage accidental discarding or wiping.

Buy a new SD card to use in the meantime while you look for a way to recover the information on the encrypted card.

I am sorry for your loss, and I wish I had a better answer for you.

Edit: Found this on another site, maybe it's worth a try. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP THE DATA ON THE CARD IN CASE THIS GOES WRONG.

On a PC: Copy (the encrypted and unreadable) contents of the sd card from the phone to your harddrive

On the phone: Settings -> Storage -> Sd Card -> Format sd card (this erases all the data on the sd card but don't worry you have a copy on the PC)

On the phone: Settings -> Security -> Encrypt sd Card (should be real fast since it's an empty sd card)

On the PC: Copy the contents of the sd card onto the phone

On the phone: Settings -> Security -> Decrypt sd card (edit: this may take a while depending on how much data was on the card)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecxs:
sorry but none of the above "solutions" makes any sense. it is not possible to recover data. encryption key was located /data/misc/vold and /data itself was encrypted, too. Furthermore one can't access /data aka userdata partition.

BUT... and here comes the but.. adoptable-storage usually is DISABLED in One UI

So how is it possible your MicroSD Card is encrypted at all? It's not, except you have installed custom ROM or installed any 3rd party encryption tool (you would remember)

There is a good chance your MicroSD Card is plain exFAT or Fat32 unencrypted file system. I recommend to use a card reader for PC and make a 1:1 dump with gddrescue and analyze the dump with photorec or other file carver solutions.

There exist tools for windows too, for example

https://www.klennet.com/carver

https://www.z-a-recovery.com

https://www.runtime.org

Don't buy any software if your MicroSD Card is encrypted, it will definitely not work.

You can easily check if your MicroSD Card is encrypted by opening raw disk image with HxD hex editor and search for any plain text or series of zeros. gparted or testdisk will tell you if partition table exist

True, I realized after posting. Samsung is always bit special, they tried to think differently... In that case your data was lost in the moment of factory reset.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elanwario:
Hello, have an experience that my samsung device were dead and my sd card still encrypted.

Firstly, you have to backup entire data on your sd card just in case.

And then, format your sd card using another device (maybe your another android).

Last, put your sd card to windows device and recover all data with DiskDigger software.

It's work on my sd card, give it a try.. Dont forget to backup all data 😁👍

Hello there,

I encountered similar issue on my note 8, I encrypted SD card and everything was working fine. All of A sudden without installing any software ( & discontinued phone so no updates), I couldn't access my and videos on external SD card.

it says "this SD card cannot be decrypted because it was encrypted on another device......." but I have never moved the SD card from the original phone where I encrypted the SD card with.

I haven't restored the phone to manufacture setting, so the encryption keys should be there.

Any chance i can get my data back from the SD card?

thanks

Exynos or Qualcomm? check EDL tool if factory loader is available (qualcomm only)

https://github.com/bkerler/edl

You need to find a way to get a raw dump of partition, first. without this backup I do not recommend to try anything.

Next you need to find a way to root the ROM without factory reset. There are methods to get root access without bootloader unlocking. try to find "combination firmware"

There are methods based on combination ROM, like the famous Extreme Syndicate root project.

Not sure about this method (haven't read) but do not try, just read.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superman1233:
Hi,

In prep for a holiday, I really need to sort my son's Fire Kids HD 8 (10th Gen) out.

I've been putting it off because the thing drives me mad, but a four hour flight makes it necessary.

I've got a 256 GB SD card in it. So here are the problems, and anything that I can do to resolve would be appreciated.

1. I can't transfer any files larger than 4GB to the SD card using a PC (i assume it's FAT formatted, and I can't seem to change this).

2. Disney+ app refuses to allow me to save downloads to the SD card (Netflix only lets me choose the SD card (which is fine) although Netflix thinks its the internal storage?)

3. Plex app refuses to allow me to save downloads to the SD card.

So basically, it's a storage issue. I can forgive the fact that the tablet is slow and whatever, because it's inexpensive, but the internal 16 GB storage isn't workable for me...

Thanks!

I would like to know if the OnePlus 5T's charger will be able to charge the S22 or is it better to get the Samsung 45W charger or some other make with the future in mind?

All chargers will work. OnePlus' super fast charging won't work since that goes against your typical quick charging spec, but if it'll charge. The Note 8 charger will also work, but will charge at your typical 15w speeds.

Skip Samsung's 45w charger and just get a third party 25w or 30w charger since not even the 45w capable phones charge at 45w consistently and generally throttle down to roughly 30w.

But 20% to 100% in 80 mins is bad, when I'm in a hurry to go out I should have enough charge on my phone but with this 25W charger, it is not possible. So I'm going with a 45W charger because I used Redmi K20 pro with a 33W sonic charger, it charges 0-100% in just 40-45 mins!!!

Hey all,

since today my Wizard is acting strange. The on/off/standby-button (the one on top of the device) is acting on it's own.

Whenever I'm just surfin' the web, I have a pretty big chance the device will turn the screen off. Also I sometimes get the "Warning, Device will be off, and may lose some data ....."-warning, which means the button has been "pressed" for ~four seconds.

I suspect this is a hardware problem (not too strange after 2.5 years) which I can't easily fix.
