[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] ibmffx:
Hey guys I work in IT and just inherited this complete mess. We have a couple dozen Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite that has Google FRP and Knox on them that I need to remove. Unfortunately the former IT person is uncooperative in providing us the google credentials when setting these up and every attempt I have of bypassing it has been thwarted by Knox as well.

I have tried doing the bypass with the emergency dialer but since it has Knox there is no emergency dialer.

I have tried sideloading a launcher and trying to do a restore with my Samsung profile with tools to bypass it but there is no Restore option once in settings due to Knox.

Is there anything I can do to wipe these and bypass Google FRP so I can redeploy them to our users?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Without knowing the usernames and passwords attached to the various devices, bypassing FRP on current Samsung is virtually impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Abish:
Those devices re-enroll automatically if it is KNOX ENROLLMENT else on other management app you should really to get hold of Console Admin/Manager or ask your company to contact support directly

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite] Atlas02Flame:
Hello, not sure if this can get me banned, if it can I'm sorry, not sure about the guidelines to post or share stuff here.

Literally last week I got some A7 lites (SM-T220 and SM-T227), I was able to remove the FRP using a tool called Unlock Tool, I'll paste the link below. It is free to download but you need to purchase a membership (I got 3 months for $25usd). The SM-T220 were unlocked using ODIN MODE and SM-T227 using BROM mode. I think BROM mode should also work for SM-T220, but you can try whatever method you want.

On the ones that are using ODIN MODE (that's how is called on the unlock tool app), you need to enter the tablet into download mode, in my case I believe it was pressing both volume buttons and then connect the cable to the PC, you need to hold them until you see a blue screen and then hit the volume up to access odin download mode. Then on the app, click on the ERASE FRP 2023 under ODIN MODE tab. Wait for it to finish and then you are good to go.

View attachment 6113082

On the ones that are using BROM mode, on the unlock tool disable the checkbox that says FAST CONNECT, and then you need to hit the BROM ERASE FRP, wait until the app says waiting for device, and then with your tablet turned off, hold both volume buttons and connect the cable to the pc, but you should not hold it too much, only until you see the app recognizes a device PRELOADER...., you should see something happening on the right side, and let it finish and you should be done.

{Mod edit: Link to paid service websites removed! Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

I know there are other sites that sell them, but I used this one (no one recommeded it to me, I just took the risk)

Also i know installing this apps have some risks, I tried installing it on a virtual machine to avoid issues, but the app threw an error saying it can't run on VMs.

Hope this works for you guys.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mastabog:
I know there are various "firewall" apps out there, like Netguard, Adguard, etc, but they really only create a local VPN and route all traffic through that, blocking apps you select. These conflict with actual internet VPN apps like NordVPN.

I want to be able to use my internet VPN, like NordVPN, and also block specific apps entirely from accessing the network -- a OS level switch of some sort.

I know that in the Android settings in data > allowed networks for apps, I can set for a particular app "wifi only" or "mobile data only" or "mobile data or wifi" for any particular app, but it doesn't have the option for "no data" ... Older Android versions seem to have had that option (you could untick both mobile data and wifi).

Is there a way to do this on Samsung phones with recent Android versions 13 or 14 without being rooted?

What if I was rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] olafsand:
Adguard. Without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
NetGuard

A simple way to block access to the internet per app

netguard.me

Netguard, the best option for this. No root required and you can also apply ad blocking via host lists. Free and paid versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mastabog:
Netguard is precisely the kind of option that doesn't work, which I explained in the first post. All firewalls like Netguard have the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mastabog:
Looks like you're referring to this app which is precisely the type of app the doesn't work, as I explained in my 1st post. It's just a local VPN traffic router (see 1st post).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
I misread the post.

In which case you're SOL as, without root and the ability to do IP table internet blocking using an app like Afwall+, VPN based blocking is the only possibility. Blame Android only supporting one VPN connection at any one time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mastabog:
:cry: ... yeah, older android versions had two switches for mobile data and wifi, both which could be disabled per app. Now it forces you to leave one or both on. I wonder how they justify this decision.

So if I was rooted then there are apps that basically rewrite the iptables rules and one of them is Afwall+? Good to know. Ironic that they tell me not to root my phone because I risk exposing secrets but at the same time I can't block apps that could leak secrets to their companies (e.g. password managers).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vjunk:
For anyone coming across this thread, see How to use NetGuard + personalDNSFilter+ Any VPN, without root, without external self-hosted servers for a possible solution.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] otonieru:
Well, i do that easily by using both Adguard Blockers & Adguard VPN. It has integration, so that you can use blocker & firewall along with VPN.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] p51d007:
Didn't really find anything, but, does anyone know if it is possible for a "hard drive" activity LED, that would show you if anything is going on, during boot up, or if the TP just seems to be "stuck". I was thinking along the lines of a drive/CPU activity light that would blink if the memory/cpu or whatever is doing something. Better than just looking at the screen.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
Is there any tool at all to remotely unlock a modern Android (13+), e.g. from a PC, by entering the PIN/password/pattern? Remote control tools like Rustdesk, Anydesk, Teamviewer or even MS Phone Link were actually very useful until maybe a year ago (starting from Android 13) when remote unlocking stopped working. I'm not exactly sure when it started, but at some point the PIN entry screen became a "secure" screen which can't be grabbed by remote software (it's just shown as black). The closest I can get with Rustdesk or Teamviewer is entering the PIN blindly on a black screen by clicking where I think the number buttons would be. MS Phone Link used to have a workaround to enter the PIN through a GUI on the PC, but it was removed over a year ago, most likely at the request of Apple. Also, none of the remote programs can manage to keep its host service alive after the phone is locked, except MS Phone Link for some reason (but that's a separate issue and might well be an exclusive Samsung perk).

So my question is whether anyone has solved the remote control issue on modern Android without requiring root. A method for remote unlock would already solve most of the problems because I could do it right before starting the remote (it would also conveniently wake up the remote service). I'm pretty sure google services can do it (through the find my phone stuff), maybe there's some way to exploit it? Why should only google and the NSA get unattended remote access to a locked phone?
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
ADB can be used for most of this, but requires USB debugging to be enabled on the device, as well as authorizing the PC used
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
You mean screen unlocking over ADB? It may be an option if it works over Wifi-ADB. Are there any scripts or docs for that or was it just a gut feeling you had?
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
It's not a gut feeling, I know for a fact it can be done. Patterns and PINs require using coordinate input commands; I don't know about passwords.

I don't have any recommended resources but a quick Google search shows a few guides you can use to get started.
[General Questions and Answers] RealNovgorod:
Ok, it's indeed easy over (wireless) ADB. All you need is:

adb connect IP:PORT
adb shell input text YYYY
adb disconnect

Where YYYY is your PIN number. If your phone requires pressing OK after the PIN, add "adb shell input keyevent 66".

The inconvenient part is to get wireless ADB enabled which has to be done after each reboot. There are different ways to automate it for different vendors and Android versions. Newer Samsung phones have wireless debugging as a convenient quicksettings button, but starting with Android 11 the port is randomized, which is useless for remote access (before that, the port was always 5555). In that case, you have to enable the legacy Wifi ADB mode with a fixed port (once per reboot), which is a whole can of worms but the most convenient way is with the LADB app. Once the Wifi ADB is running, you can put the above code in a simple batch file and you can remotely unlock your phone with a doubleclick.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] fasantana:
Hi,

After almost 1 year 10 months of normal use, something changed in my S21 FE, and now I cannot use it for calls over bluetooth devices. The first time I noticed this behavior was while using it with Android Auto.

After many tests, the situation is like this:

1. Audio streaming via bluetooth device, works normally, as expected. I tried on Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Jabra Headset Evolve75, JBL Charge bluetooth speaker, car radio using Android Auto (car model: VW Touran 2023).

2. Bluetooth calls, using regular phone network or Whatsapp: no sound at all! I've tried on Samsung Galaxy Buds 2, Jabra Headset Evolve75 and car radio using Android Auto (car model: VW Touran 2023).

Looking at forums/internet publications, I've done the following tests:

1. Checking bluetooth settings, activating Audio and Calls for the device under test

2. Checking volume settings, all normal for bluetooth

3. Bluetooth unpairing/pairing with all devices

4. Phone regular restart

5. Phone soft reset

6. Reset network settings

7. Wipe cache partition, using recovery mode

8. Update to OneUI 6.0

9. Boot the phone in Safe Mode, and test calls over bluetooth in that scenario.

10. Reset the phone with Power+VolDown

11. Reset the phone using Settings/General management/Reset/Reset all settings

I'm reluctant to do a Factory Reset. As far as I've seen on the internet forums, the success ratio of a factory reset for similar problems is practically 0%.

After all this troubleshooting, the situation has not changed at all, I still can use bluetooth devices for audio streaming, but not for calls... Quite frustrating!

Btw, maybe related, or not? I have a Garmin smartwatch, which is connected "permanently" to the same phone via bluetooth, for notifications and for sync of activity monitor data. When I started seeing this issue with bluetooth calls, I also noticed that the smartwatch is losing the bluetooth connection randomly, for short periods of time. I see in the smartwatch screen a "Disconnected" warning, and after 5 seconds or less, a "Connected" notification. I have 3 years with this smartwatch, always the same permanent bluetooth connection, and no issues at all with this phone nor with the previous one, a Galaxy S10, until this problem in the S21 FE appeared. Again, no pattern, just random disconnections/reconnections.

And of course, I also tested bluetooth calls after removing the Garmin app from the phone. Bluetooth calls have no audio at all.

Any idea?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] StationToTrain:
Hi,

I have a poco f1 running an old build of lineage

It took weeks just to get the bootloader unlocked

It took another few weeks just to get a working build of lineage installed

I'd like to start using post market on it again

In an ideal world I'd just buy another phone

I'm not in that position right now

I could really do preserving what I have with the poco at present in a working state

You're probably thinking twrp backup, anything goes wrong just restore the backup

From past experience once post market is installed the partition layout changes and a twrp backup restore won't necessarily return the phone to a working state

Unless someone has a build of twrp that lists and backsup every partition on the phone? (Not sure why this isn't a standard feature)

Any way I have a fairphone2 that would work if I got a new battery for it

Fairphone2 runs on the same sdm845 chipset as the poco phone

I know when I wasexperimenting with post market a while back I could some builds for the one plus 6 sdm845 equivalent running on my poco

So anyway I'm thinking if I dd a copy of every partition on the lineage poco phone to an SD card

And then dd the equivalent partitions back to the fairphone2 I might be able to preserve what I have with the poco phone at present in another working device

I've never done this before, so

Which partions will I need to transplant, and perhaps more importantly which partitions on the fairphone2 run the risk of a device brick if it goes wrong?

[Nexus 5X General] regnfo:
Hi folks,

After many years, after using my N5X from the original to several ROMs it became silent. No CALL sound for me ( speaker is ok it plays sound ok)

Microphone was dead, and tried all tricks (original stock Rom, all other Roms v9 v10 v11 v12, opening and cleaning mic opening and phone...)

I think it was after some OTA update from oreo...

When some days ago I needed to recover it, because I broke my phone's LCD (Xiaomi Mi 9) I was amazed that the MIC worked again.

I was just trying to have some phone for Messaging even if without the Microphone... no Calls!!!

I tried Nexus Rom (v10) first by eqlog wich was awesome, but sluggish and no CALL sound from the Mic too...

Then I found this thread:

[ROM,MOD,MODULE...] BEST THING FOR LGE NEXUS 5X !

xdaforums.com

And tried to use the recommended AOSP Ext 7.3 + OpenGapps Arm64-10-micro just to give it a go... and because its more streamlined.

AMAZING!!! the Microphone sound finally works... I can have audio CALLS again... Even the stock ROM didn't work anymore (some f*** update???)

I never expected it, and was browsing already for parts, to solder myself a new MIC on the board even if I would kill it trying.

So, all said... for whom has dead MIC problems, try flashing this ROM it is a life saver!

Thanks for the community!
