Tried and failed - what did I do?

I just tried this last night and tried at multiple stages... and no matter what it insisted on installing all the bloatware. Any idea what I might be doing incorrectly?

When you say "wait screen" - do you mean the initial WinMo v6.1 green-splash screen, or the same display with "Please wait while we [something] for first time use"? I also tried at the Home screen before the customization begins, and while it was running... all still ended up with the software being installed. :/

I've read some great posts (here and Howard Forums) about using Total Commander and entering "\Extended Rom\" but that doesnt open anything on my device. Does that area need to be unlocked?

Thanks for any tips!
[Touch HD General] drbf:
I think you need a custom Rom without all of the applications. I had one on my Omnia.
[Touch HD General] CWKJ:
hmm...

typing "\Extended_Rom\" in total commander does not work.

those registry which hide/unhide and lock/unlock extended rom are not there too.

check the wiki, nothing about extended rom or customed rom which is meant for Service Provider specific.

Or is it because the HD I am having is tied to 1 provider, but it is already SIM unlocked which can use other providers SIM.

The original rom is lag, very lag, lots of rubbish in "\windows\" directory beside M$ original files.

How are the cooked roms around in the forum?
[Touch HD General] cbreze:
+1 for this plan. I'm running a lighter custom 6.5 rom (NRG) with none of the startup ui's. I've loaded Mobile shell#3 and it works very well. Quickest combo I've found so far for snappy-ness and speed. Battery life is fine with it. Try diff light roms without the startup bloatware and you may find something that you like.

Anyone who uses this feature is experiencing any problems?

It's not available for me since several updates ago. It crashes as soon as I enter the menu (Settings / Battery / Advanced Settings / App Quick Freeze)
[Realme GT 2 Pro] nick1467:
I have the same issue
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Quake94:
I don't use this feature but it doesn't crash on mine when I go to menu and can enable for apps. CN phone with Global rom
[Realme GT 2 Pro] xdaforo:
In my case, it started to happen once I changed the setting for some of the apps. So maybe the problem starts once you modify something. For what I've been reading it is a common problem among several realme, not just this one. Global Version btw.

Hello all while I'm still waiting on my White NP1 device just wanted some recommendations for a Free/Paid gallery app.

I know this device uses Google Photos and I'm definitely not happy with them. (truth be known I only use Gmail, Google maps and Translate from the Google range of apps)

Normally I'm used to the gallery apps in Samsung, Honor or Huawei devices.

I don't what something the heavy on package size or system resources.

So any feedback is more than welcome thank you.

[Nothing Phone 1] whatsek:
I use Simple gallery pro, very happy with it. But you can't directly open your (other) gallery from the nothing camera app. That only seems to work with Google photo's. That's rely annoying (close the camera app, start the gallery app to share a picture...}
[Nothing Phone 1] hemanth.k:
Currently there seems to be now ay the photos in the camera app get routed to whaterver gallery app exists.

So i had to re-enable gPhotos after disabling them. But there are many avilables ones, you can try SimpleGalleryPro, open fDroid, or just the internet to find one of your choice.

I use quickpic mod by WST
[Nothing Phone 1] mystery007:
QuickPic
[Nothing Phone 1] Nyssa1104:
Thanks to all for you input I already use some of the Simple apps and their gallery app did not get much positive feedback from my findings.

Device is rooted, TWRP works, but I cannot proceed further. When adding Magisk modules it says device is read-only. When trying to install packages from TWRP it says unable to mount system. Attempts to perform any google-recommended TWRP file system fixes result in TWRP throwing "device is busy" error. Tried both with/without password/pin, and TWRP always decrypts successfully.

Ideas?

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] linamus:
Okay, solved, sort of.

What I've learned through my reinstalls and other trials is that MIUI will occupy ALL the available system allocated space. This prevents any of the GAPP zips to be installed through TWRP. But turns out MIUI already has GAPPS functionality built in, so all you need is to download a play store app and install the rest from there.

System is supposed to be unreachable, that's why Magisk has been "system-less" for a while. The linked SafetyNet fix (https://xdaforums.com/t/miui-13-0-7-rooting-xiaomi-12s-ultra-via-magisk.4476901/) is apparently very old and didn't work on my current Magisk.

Anyway, no more issues currently, other than currently unknown status if my device can pass safetynet out of the box.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Nabicook:
Thanks for mentioning that. That link worked for 13.0.5 and Magisk canary, but I didn't know it was outdated and haven't tested for 13.0.7. I updated the links :)

Hi,

I recently set up my new phone and copied from my oneplus 6.

Everything worked well but the filemanager from op6 is somehow transfered and I cant remove it, and I cant find it among the apps.

The app is inactivated so I guess it doesnt disturb anything but it would be nice to get rid of it.

And also, I need suggestions on what filemanager-app to use. (to be able to for example, transfer from drive to phone.)
[Nothing Phone 1] Tulsadiver:
Xplore by lonelycatsgame is a great dual pane file manager and all I've ever used for years.
[Nothing Phone 1] corpsus:
Are you sure it was transferred from the OP6 and not the Android default file manager? It's called just "Files" (with a light blue folder icon), as opposed to the "Files by Google" (bloatware) application.

I was asking about the same thing in another thread, because the Google app really sucks, and I couldn't figure out how to get the default file manager to show up in the app drawer. Personally I'm using Material Manager at the moment. Have to give Tulsadiver's suggestion a try as well now.
[Nothing Phone 1] hemanth.k:
I have tried using an app called, "Files Shortcut" from the playstore. Which essentially launches the same Files app. Instead of using actibity launcher, this has been a solution for me. You could try this.

Did you try using MiXplorer? Its available on xda
[Nothing Phone 1] Nyssa1104:
File Manger + à very handy file manger use it myself
[Nothing Phone 1] corpsus:
Oh perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for, as the default file explorer is totally good enough for me. It's lightweight, sleek and it can handle network storage, which Files by Google can't! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks.

The same goes for me.

[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
No. The A/B partition scheme is meant for seamless updates; while there are two slots for /boot and /system, there is only one /data partition which contains many user and system settings, which will cause problems with different firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] aartvanes:
Not sure where to post this exactly as I didn't find any Samsung Generic thread. So: if this is going to be moved somewhere else that's fine. The backdoor I found should be working on any Samsung device running Android 12 with Samsung Knox 3.8 protection I suppose.

I've been trying to root a Samsung Galaxy S10 device which is running on Android 12, Version One UI 4.1 and with active Knox 3.8 protection.

Certain apps from the app store such as Magisk are protected from downloading, APK installation has also been disabled. I've searched the internet extensively for a solution to bypass Knox protection, but I couldn't find it anywhere. At least not for the latest (May '22?) version of Knox, combined with Android 12. So I started to fiddle around a bit myself with the settings and options you get when factory resetting your phone, before you start the configuration/installation.

The backdoor I found worked as follows

1) Factory Reset the phone

2) When the phone starts up for the first time, you can select 'Accessibility'

3) Select 'Contact us'

4) Go to 'Samsung Members'

5) from there, go to 'Settings'

6) Select 'About Samsung Members'

7) Click on the 'information icon'

8) Select 'Application Information in Store'

From there you're ready to browse the internet, install any app or APK you want without triggering KNOX as KNOX didn't activate yet on the phone.

I managed to install Magisk, and I completely rooted my phone.

Now the only thing I haven't been able to achieve is to completely get rid of Knox, even though my phone is rooted and I can basically do anything I want with the phone. Knox just doesn't uninstall. So, if anyone uses my backdoor to root their Samsung device and from there manages to really get rid of Knox (Knox Enrollment Service) I would be grateful to get that information also.

I hope this helps more people.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
For now, we can't see if you have the knox flag intact.

Check if you can run "Secure Folder".
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] aartvanes:
Hi, the secure folder isn't there. I don't know if it might has to to with the fact that I removed all Knox services successfully as super user, but the only one that I still cannot remove is Knox Enrollment Service.

So: the phone is rooted (as I showed), which Knox normally prohibits. The next hurdle though is to block or remove Knox Enrollment Service as well. This should be possible as I have SU access, but I haven't found a way yet...

edit: if your question is about the Warranty Void: yes, this got triggered. Knox knows the phone is rooted, which is fine for me. The sole purpose was to root the phone. The problem was that I couldn't root the phone at all because of Knox. I couldn't get Super User Access, Couldn't install Magisk and get Bootloader Access, and I couldn't install APK's. The backdoor fixed this for me. Now my step 2 is to get Knox completely stopped or removed... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
So now change the thread title as it is misleading.

You haven't done any knox bypass but just rooted your phone which means knox has disabled the phone's security features and many samsung features have stopped working.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Knox is a tough, hardware embedded cookie to break. I leave it alone... like a bad wife.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] aartvanes:
I can do that, but I don't fully agree though.

I managed to install blacklisted applications from the app store as well as from APK downloads on a Knox Secured phone, which normally is impossible (you can verify). I could do so without tripping Knox, with the method I described: factory reset the phone, and then installing stuff before Knox even becomes active. After this was done (so i.e. installing Magisk) I configured the phone normally. Knox was active, but didn't notice the newly installed (and forbidden) apps.

Only then I tripped Knox as I started the Rooting process using Magisk, which always causes Knox to detect the phone has been rooted.

So maybe you're right, and the title should be something like 'installing apps, apk's and even Root Samsung Knox protected phones (But rooting still trips Knox warrenty)'.

Still this might be useful to people I guess, for people with Samsung Knox protected or locked phones looking for help.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] meric57:
Hello aartvanes, as said Blackhawk Knox and an integrated program from Samsung to their program. .so if you say root you lose your guarantee yes even if you root it is not yet guaranteed Knox 0x1 or instead of 0x0. . I have. unrooted my S10 and unlocked the bootloader, so the root stays in the S10, which is why I had to do the rooting again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
I don't understand what the trick is. I rooted my device like everyone here who rooted their device. I installed all the apps I wanted. After unlocking the bootloader, Secure Folder no longer works.

I didn't even try to delete Knox because I don't know because of the bank account. I use Bitdefender Security for protection.

I don't think Knox is worth anything to me after rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Rooting trips the Knox hardware efuse.

Personally I run stock N10+'s and never touch the firmware unless I absolutely have too. Don't even update it. Zero issues running like this.

Lol, I feel a lot safer flashing PC bios or a Canon camera firmware than Android firmware.

Thank you very much for your reply.

My doubt is how did you manage to install magisk. As far as I know, you need to install it from a twrp, or, installing apk. But if you install it from apk, you need to choose a file to patch inside the filesystem. Am I forgeting something important? I'm stuck in this step.

Thank you very much again

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] oloco2:
Some more steps I did:

I installed magisk and I patched the original boot.img

As my phone has knox enabled, I'm not able to access to developer options and enable/disable OEM nor to enable ADB... so I think I have no way to install twrp nor to unlock bootloader.

Any other idea, please?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
For stock ROM I patched AP file with Magisk. With Knock I not have problems. I Installed stock ROM with Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] oloco2:
Thank you for your reply.

So, if I understand, you were able to enable OEM and adb debugging, because knox was not preventing from enabling them, right?

I need to find a way to disable knox enrollment in order to follow all your steps.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
You need to unlock the bootloader first, if you haven't.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] oloco2:
Thanks for your reply.

As far as I know, in order to unlick bootloader, I need to enable OEM and usb debugging. My problem is that due to knox enrollment, when I try to go to developer settings, it like locked. Nothing happens when I touch more tahn 7 times the button in order to enable it. So, here I am... trying to get the way to enable OEM and usb debuging so that I can try to install TWRP using Odin (I think this is the way, as if I try to istall twr via odin, I get a final error i the process).

It's like the egg and the chiken... How can I disable knox if I cannot flash twrp, nor root my device, nor enabling developer options... The only thing I can do is to open a web browser and samsung store while the knox enrollment is trying to connevct to its gateway, by using passfab.

I'm sorry, I think all this is a mess...

Any idea?

Thank you for your help

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
I haven't had that problem so far. I could always enable OEM and USB debugging. After this I use this:

Power off your device. Press Bixby + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode

Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot

For root phone TWRP not need.

Hi,

And how can I unlock bootloader if I can't access "settings" (I'm stuck in "this device belongs to your organization" ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
I don't know. I been not this problem. Are you tried reinstall Android? With Frija download last version Android. Install it with last versio of ODIN. In ODIN use AP, BL, CP and CSC files. After install, open Settings, click 7 time on Number of version. You'll get Developer mode. In Developer mode enable OEM and enable USB Debugging.

Installing Android with ODIN will lose all your data. Back up everything you can before installing.

Now do this:

Power off your device. Press Bixby + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode

Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're probably not going to get by Knox enrollment with a blown efuse especially on current firmware. That's exactly why it's there.

Any workaround can't be posted on XDA!

Knox was hacked by Google researchers in 2017 but they aren't sharing and that hole was likely patched.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Callmedog420:
I have a samsung A12 phone and I had exactly the same problem as you. Your phone belongs to a organization and you have 'knox enrollment service' on the phone. You can still bypass FRP (I used samFW tool) and use the phone. Factory reset the phone and conncect to internet but don't allow the phone to update knox, go to make a emergency call type in *#0*# and use samFW tool on your computer, this will unlock the phone. You occasionally get a pop up from knox enrollment that tries to force you to factory reset the phone because you did not enroll with knox. but there is a backdoor I found:

Swipe down to open notifications>click the settings button top right>go to display>navigation bar>change to swipe gesture>swipe from bottom up. Everytime you get the pop up go to settings and swipe up. Frustrating but atleast you can use the phone. Hope this helps.
