[General Questions and Answers] jojoko0815:
I want to install TWRP to my Samsung a20e but I don't want to unlock my bootloader is it possible
[General Questions and Answers] ipdev:
No.

With a locked bootloader, non-factory images (boot, recovery, ...) are rejected.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] jojoko0815:
Thanks. Is it possible to lock the bootloader after unlocking it for the custom rom and twrp?
[General Questions and Answers] ipdev:
No. 🙁

You can only safely lock the bootloader once the device is back to factory original rom (system), boot, recovery, ...

That is why time is spent to finding ways around checking the sensitive [secure] device properties.

Using kdrag0n's Universal SafetyNet Fix for example.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] sgt_peppers:
good evening. I have a problem and I want to know if it happens to someone too. I can't find any custom rom that has NFC support. All the ones I've tried don't even have an option to activate it. Does this have a solution? my device is redmi note 10 pro sweet. Thanks.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ImHorizon:
I've tried PixelOS and Xiaomi.eu and both have NFC options and can link with Google Pay (I've tried xiaomi.eu NFC pay and it worked, I didn't try PixelOS, but it has the options)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Case_:
I remember someone asking this before a while back, and my response is frankly the same (and just as puzzled) - I don't think I've ever seen a sweet ROM that *didn't* have NFC support.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] jam&jam:
In M2101K6R Japanese versions, nfc does not work on aosp based roms. I am having the same problem
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
Hmm I am on cr droid and NFC seems to work. With apps like NFC Tools or MIFARE Classic Tool I can read NFC Tags.

Unfortunately Google Pay does not work for me. The pay terminal always say "try again". Dont know what the problem is there
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ottili81:
install safetynet fix 2.1 with magisk, then try again.

install safetynet test via playstore and run it. this should be passed now.

If gpay isnt working, go to magisk/settings and activate zygisk. after this, add all google services (use search with "google" and "gms") to the denial-list, reboot phone and try again

if this doesnt the trick, change ROM ;-)

Lineage OS 19.1 is just great. GPay and MIUI Cam working like charme.

links in my signature
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pablo.see:
I think phone should be encrypted for working NFC (payments).
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
I checked with this SafetyNet Test app. All tests passed without magisk. Anyway I would expect a fault message in google pay if something safety related is not ok, same as in banking apps, which are working fine.

Was also thinking to change to lineage but right now I am not motivated to reinstall the phone completely because its my daily driver^^

@otttili81 how can I see your signature?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ottili81:
Use Desktop PC to open XDA
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Case_:
Google Pay (well, Wallet now) can be incredibly finicky. Also sometimes it might seem like it has a security issue, but actually it's something else, like the card not being set up properly (but appearing like everything's fine).
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
Yes everything looks fine in the wallet itself. Only when it comes to payment, the terminal refuses it. I tried several cards. Also reinstallation of the app.

Is there a possibility to check or test it except on the payment terminal?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Case_:
@wuslschweiz What kernel are you running? Some kernels can cause issues like this.

I just came off a clean install of the current crDroid with Flame GApps last week and Google Pay was working perfectly fine, I didn't have to do a thing except the usual Zygisk deny list setup.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
@Case_

Standard crDroid kernel 4.14.290-sigmaKernel-v1.0

I havent rooted my phone so no Magisk or Zygisk.

But good to know that Google Pay is working on your phone so the problem is my phone.

Now when you mention kernel I remember I seem to have a firmware problem (notification volume level is related to sound volume)

Maybe also something NFC/GPay is related to this.

Is it better to flash MIUI 13.8 firmware with miui flash tool or twrp?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] matrix_guy:
Flash it with twrp
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] RAMBO29:
GPay is a bit of hit and miss. Make sure it says 'Device is certified' in Playstore settings. It usually won't work without it. It's also very dependent on Kernel. There is also an option to reset NFC in settings, which helped me a few times.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
Seems like I am just to dumb for Google Pay.

I reflashed Miui 13.08 firware via TWRP and then LOS 19.1L. Installed Magisk to restore Apps and Appdata wirh Alpha Backup Pro. Uninstalled Magisk (I dont need Root) Installed Google Pay, Still not working, same as bevore.

If I am motivated, maybe I try Google Pay on Stock MIUI...

Thx to all for the help
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pablo.see:
Storage is encrypted? It won't work with out it.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] wuslschweiz:
I havent done anything special to encrypt it but when I boot into TWRP it requests a PW to decrypt so I assum it is encrypted

JBNCK One UI Experience - a customized rootless debloater for Samsung phones

NOTE THAT THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE!!! Not every feature works!

View attachment 5694255#

The script is written in python so you need to have python installed (most linux distros come with it anyways). A download link is provided on GitHub.

How to use:

1. In order to have a flawless and smooth experience, back up your data and do a factory reset.

2. Enable USB Debugging

3. Download the program and run it. A window should pop up on your phone. Please confirm.

4. Type in "Y" if you are asked if you are running it for the first time. This will completely nuke your phone and leave you with a settings app

5. After thats done chose a preset (right now only the default Samsung one works!!!)

6. After its done you can either set up your phone like normal or chose from the other options (for example if you want software updates or NFC support).

If a feature you use gets removed:

1. Install package names viewer from play store and look for the package name of the app/feature.

2. Run the program and enter "N" if you are asked if you are running the script for the first time

3. Chose option 10 and enter the package name

If you encounter any other problems feel free to tell me about it here.

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M4jQ:
to get back the default settings i just do a factory reset or do I have to flash the rom?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
You just need to do a factory reset, no need to flash the firmware

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.H!ml

Why?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
pretty sure this is not a trojan lmao 🗿you can even see the source code on github
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Vega56:
Yeah, but why is this showing? ...
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M4jQ:
in which file?
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
!!! Warning

The program I used in order to compile the python file is probably malicious. The py file is undetected by virustotal but the compiled exe is. I will remove the download until I fixed the problem!

DO NOT RUN THE .EXE UNTIL I PROVIDED A NEW DOWNLOAD LINK!!!
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] oli231:
NOICE! NICE
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Update:

Ok I repacked the script without the malicious .exe. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience. Now you also need to have python3 installed on windows. A download link is provided on GitHub.

View attachment 5696237

Also, next release will add the missing features.

Have fun with my little script!
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Vega56:
Works perfect. (y)

Hope option 3 comes soon. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Khaver89:
when i connect the phone to pc nothing happens, no popup.

usb debug on, i did factory reset.

i connect the phone and the phone asks me if i want to share files with pc, i consent and then i open up your program but nothing happens

Edit: well i solved coping the script in adb
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Glad it worked and thanks for the positive feedback 👍 I'm working on the other options and will release them in the next couple of days. I'm a bit busy right now because of school but I try to deliver it as fast as possible
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Nice to hear that you managed to solve the problem, however, did you try installing the USB drivers from Samsung? (either manually or by connecting your phone to your computer with usb debugging on and performing a windows update)

Can you please add an option to debloat GOS, game booster and Game launcher also any other system app that may be throttling the tabs performance?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M4jQ:
you can use ADB AppControl to find apps and remove it or find names and add it to this script

edit:

I also found Universal Android Debloater GUI
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
sorry for the late reply

The packages are

com.samsung.knox.securefolder

com.samsung.android.fmm
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Yes but it is not a root debloat so you cant replace them with microg. To remove gms from your phone you have to choose option 11 and type in com.google.android.gms and com.google.android.gsf
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
You can not fully uninstall gos even with root (it will bootloop). However, I'm pretty sure my script disables gos which is the most you can do (I will check in next update)

Game launcher and game tools get removed so if they dont for you you probably did something wrong
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] PhilipF8_2010:
Nice!

I'm receiving a Samsung A52S in October so this'll come handy.

P.S. A52S will stop receiving security updates around 2024 so is there a solution to upgrade its Android system to receive security updates?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] M4jQ:
why do you wonder what will happen after 2 years? you will install an alternative ROM and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] PhilipF8_2010:
That's when it stops receiving updates. I just want to be on the safe side.

I never had issues using an outdated Android OS, but better not to risk with sensitive info.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Update! - Release 1.2​

- Added presets (AOSP, Google)

- Minor tweaks

Download here: One-UI-Experience - Releases
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Vega56:
Thank you for the update.

Unfortunately the window closes again directly when opened.

Python3 (Win 10) is installed.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
Fixed (y)

Make sure to download the latest release again.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] :

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] PhilipF8_2010:
Whoa, just had to press the optimize file and it worked straight away! The alternative would have been such a chore (manually remove/disable via ADB).

Thank you so much!!

@Zhazhael just open the optimize file, follow the simple instructions, and it'll clean the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
It work for android 12 also? Will try it and report.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] PhilipF8_2010:
Yes, it does.

Great tool despite being WIP. It saved me a lot of time.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
I just use it.. Optimize, than One UI Preset, than EXIT.. And I cant restart my phone.. Did it happen to you or did I do something wrong? When I click on button it work for lock/unlock (screen on/off) but when I hold it, nothing..?

EDIT: I even restarted it with adb reboot, and when phone startup, same behaviour.. Holding power button doesnt do anything..

@JanBoyGamer23 help.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] PhilipF8_2010:
Swipe down the screen, you'll see a Power button, click that, and then you can choose how to.

I thought my Samsung phone was broken, too.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
I do new factory reset.. And will try this script again.. I see where I made a mistake.. Script delete Bixby that is a default option for power button when u do factory reset.. :D But If you go to Settings/Advanced Features/Side key, u can switch from Wake Bixby to Power Off Menu.. And that need to be mentioned in first post lol !

I will try script again but will set Side Key to Power Off Menu before apply script.. :D

@PhilipF8_2010 It work.. U can do that to your mobile also.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
@JanBoyGamer23 I guess it will work perfect with android 13, right? Maybe I will try it today and will report back the results.. 😁
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] icem0n:
I've just tried this and have the exact problem. What would likely cause the script to start and immediately stop? cmd window opens for a second then closes with nothing else happening.

To confirm, Python 3 is installed, adb drivers installed & finds the mobile with adb devices, the optimize.py file just fails to bring up the menu to actually use the script
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
Phone is already plugged in right? Start CMD as administrator than, drag'n'drop optimize.py and try to start script that way.. When u install python3, restart pc to load services and etc.. 😊 It work for Android 13 also.. 😁
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
I can't figure out where the problem is, for now what works is opening a cmd window and cd'ing to the folder and then running ˋpython optimize.pyˋ and it should open the script

Note: do not run this script on Android 13 as it will break a lot of things, maybe I'll consider updating it soon
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] Sloba989:
Bro.. Im on Android 13 at moment with your script.. And everything work flawlessly.. I tried your script few weeks ago when I got A52S 5G, and few days ago I just restored updates, download new firmware via Samsung Update, and install it on already debloted firmware.. It sucessfully updated to Android 13, and didnt even install Samsung bloatware after update.. All apks that are deleted/disabled on android 12 stay disabled after update.. 😁😁😁

I can try it with factory reset if you need testing, but this way it work without single problem.. 😁

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] milan199x:
On android 13, samsung pass does not work after restore.

When I try to setup, it showing error message "Couldn't verify the fingerprints".

What I restored?

- com.samsung.android.authfw

- com.samsung.android.samsungpass

- com.samsung.android.samsungpassautofill

Should I need to restore some other package?

What I tried?

- Wipe Cache partition

- Repair apps in Recovery (not sure what this exactly does)

- Clear data of Samsung Pass, Authentification Framework and Autofill with Samsung Pass

Nothing seems to work.

Is there any fix for that?

All other apps works without issues.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
NOTICE!!:​

I haven't been very active on XDA recently and I noticed there are many complaints regarding this script on Android 13. I started working on an update and I expect it to be released in the next couple of days. Till then, please don't use the script on Android 13 phones.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
You need to remap the power button in Settings > Advanced features > Side key (set it to power menu). It's set to Bixby by default and as it no longer exists it just does nothing. Hope my late answer could help 😅
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] JanBoyGamer23:
I think there should be a package called tapak authfw that get's removed by the script, which you could try to restore (I'm not using Samsung Pass and even if I wanted to I couldn't since my knox is tripped). Hope my late answer could help

In android 13, data and obb folders are blocked. Tried many file managers with root to copy game data in obb folder but failed. Even the Xposed module "no storage restrict" did not worked. Finally copied data through browsing "/data/media/0/Android/obb". You may try this with root.

Now I have access to Android/Data & Android/Obb but I can't paste any file to these folders. I use ES File Explorer.

How to make it in the ES File Explorer or if it exists some magisk or xposed module in which to disable this restriction and to be like in Android 12 in which we didn't have any problem in accessing or writing any file to above paths ?
