Locked out - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.1 NOT rooted, my daughter played finger pass locked I out. then tried to enter pass and locked it up. I have tried every pass and nothing works, I have VERY important info, pictures and home movies that have not been backed up. Please any help would be awesome! I have to be at work in 3 hours. Can someone save me?

Well have you tryed using samsung kies 3 on your pc backup files and photos? Might not work since theres a password but might ass well give it a try! Your last resort would be rooting and doing a nandroid backup. I wouldnt go that far yet though. Have you tryed waiting and keep trying to put in the password.

Can't root cause I use Samsung allcast hub so I can mirror on my tv. I wait hours on and off trying to enter password. No kies didn't work

I'm not sure if this works as I haven't tested it with non-rooted devices, but can't you get access to your files via ADB ?
Kies/Windows won't let you access them because you can't get past the lockscreen.
If ADB finds your device, then maybe it's possible to get your files manually by opening a shell session to the device and get your files with adb pull.
I don't believe it needs to be rooted, but you do got to have the developers options enabled.

Merry Christmas and thank you for the help

[Q] Learning Hub working on rooted phone?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has Learning Hub working on a rooted Note II. If so, how did you get it to work?
Thanks,
Mine is stop working after rooted so still waiting for solution.

I have no problem with it after rooting

Really? I have the I317M as well and after rooting, every time I load Learning hub I get a message saying "this device has been modified, learning hub will close to protect copyright". Can you think of anything you might have done? For example, did you install Learning Hub from the samsung app store or use the version preinstalled? etc.
thanks

If your superuser app is the normal one use voodo temporary unroot from market but if you have used cf root method then open super su app and disable it , and after finishing playing with learning hub, enable root again woth simple one click

Are you having the same problem as me in that Learning Hub doesn't load at all and just FC? I think that if we could find a way to get it to launch, this suggestion to get around the warning might work. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to get LH to load.

LH is doesn't load, i tried titanium back up to uninstall it then download another one in Samsung app but still not working load but force close. I am looking for stock rom to return to stock then root with Mr Robinson method.

I've had simular problems with video hub and movies the fix is easy.
First off because of rooting and custom recovery we trigger the flash counter. With this modification the system sees custom in the bootloader and locks the DRM content such as movies music ebooks whatever.
Use Chainfires triangle away app to reset the flash counter in your bootloader.
Once your done that load up your phone and go into the applications manager.
Because the apps detected custom before they have now left a piece of data in the app data that keeps the apps locked. Simple force close the app, clear cache and data and then start app the app.
Pretty much this causes the app to start fresh and upon seeing Official in your bootloader you are no longer locked out.
However there is an important thing to keep in mind. There is a safe gaurd in the phone that causes the flash counter to go back up to custom again every time you load into a custom recovery i.e. CWM or TWRP touch recovery.
This will cause the apps to relock themselves over again and you must repeat the process I've mentioned over again if you decide to keep a custom recovery. If this is too cumbersome th3 permanent fix is just to go back to stock recovery.
I've not tryed this with learning hub but have done so many times with video hub so it shouldn't be any different. All the best for you guys getting back into your apps. Stupid DRM BS Lol.

So thx for solution but I already did everything still not working. Will flash back to stock without root to see.

First off, thank you very much for taking the time an trouble to both respond and explain. I really appreciate it.
Although, thanks to your explanation I can now use video hub, the problem with Learning hub, unfortunately, is not resolved. Learning Hub gives an error that "rooting is detected and will close to protect copy right". As someone suggested above, just unchecking 'enable superuser' and re-booting should address this issue. It did not. For some strange reason, disabling superSU just causes learning hub to FC without even the rooting message appearing. However, with superSU enabled, Learning Hub loads and then gives the rooting message. In other words, root enabled allows Learning Hub to at least load and then close due to rooting. Root disabled causes Learning Hub to force close. I can't explain.
I tried disabling superSU, rebooting, clearing the data and cache for the Learning Hub app and then restarting the app. Still no go.
Any theories?

Using MrRobinson stock root -- won't work.
Yesterday I flashed my GN2 return to stock without root ( from Sammobile ) then LH was able to load and run flawlessly. After I rooted it with injected root rom from Mr Robinson method then LH was not load. So I figure out the LH is associated with system to protect copyrights ( I read about this somewhere else).
Now we have to choose rooted phone or working LH while waiting for some devs to find out. Just let u guys know.

Hi there! Using CF Root and Stock Recovery and Stock Kernel here.
Which kind of issues you had when using Video Hub? I'm rooted and I can't use the add credit card option. It causes the app to Force Close and restart after touching "OK".
And I also have Learning Hub issues just like all of you, guys. I didn't test solutions methods yet, but I will check what happens when disabling Super User and after resetting counter using Triangle Away, but I don't know if this last method will help me as I'm already using stock recovery and flashed stock ROM using Mobile Odin, so my counter probably is already at "0".

Hi,
I found a way to make it work...
1 - Root.
2 - I used Triangle away.
3 - I installed superuser from the play store on my phone.
4 - Then, go to superSu app -> SETTINGS -> Switch superuser app.
5 - Try Learning hub and readers hub, it should work.
6 - If it works you can reinstall SuperSu (I had to wait around 20-25 minutes and then I was able to reinstall SuperSu from the play store) and uninstall superuser.
It's working well for me!! Let me know if it works for you!!!
Could some one please clue me in to what learning hub is
On the plus side, what you suggested got Learning hub to load. On the minus side, none of the videos work as they all fail to authenticate. Didn't entirely work for me. Hopefully, it helps others. Regardless, this was an excellent suggestion. Great job.

That's weird... all the videos work for me; however it doesn't work when my phone is plugged inin my computer, but I think it's the same for unrooted devices ??!!! It shows a message like "data cable connected moving to previous screen etc..." so If I unplug the phone it does work well for me.

Thanks. It worked quite fine with Video hub. However, for learning hub I also had to disable SU user. This worked well except for one problem Whenever I go back to Library it detects root again and shuts down. But it will have to do for now.

I think I lost root. How do I check and fix?

I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.

Broken LCD/Digitizer, Need Data Off of Device

Hey guys. SO, I recently dropped my Note II. The screen shattered, but was entirely responsive to touch input and functioned normally (besides shards of glass splintering into my fingers haha) I kept telling myself I would get it fixed "soon" and before I did, it dropped again. This time the screen was not displaying properly and no longer responded to touch except on the notification bar. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone. The screen is no longer lighting up or displaying anything but the phone still boots up as I can hear the startup sounds and flood of incoming text messages.
I previously rooted my phone, left the stock rom on....
Now my intent is to adb into the phone via laptop and usb. and making a "clockwork recovery style image" and then hopefully use an emulator to run the image to extract my data from it. Looking for any guidance or suggestions to get my data back from the device.
Any suggestions xda'ers?

This was looking like a good candidate, but I do not have any screen functionality on the device. If I had CWM instead of TWRP I might be able to guess at the volume buttons and hope I can flash the zip blindly.
Do you need to enable Terminal Emulator su on the device before connecting with adb?

You download and install the pc version. You make sure the drivers are installed on your pc. You connect ypur phone to the computer through usb. You go through the menu on your pc to find a backup menu. You backup and pull what you need. No need for an app on the phone.

Kies was able to successfully backup my contacts for me. But how am I able to import them to a new phone. I expected the exported file to be in .vcf format. Well hoped, I expected this to happen. Also is there any desktop apps you are aware of to read the current text messages on the phone? Or rather, is their a GN2 emulator that can run using CWM recovery images to boot from? I would like to extract my bookmarks from my 3rd party browser and a couple other information from 3rd party apps.

I would like to recover my notes from noteeverything, encrypted database stored in internal memory of device. Bookmarks from Naked Browser, Bookmarks from Stock browser. My S Notes. All of my apps, their apks. I would like to also browse around my device and make sure I am not forgetting anything. If I knew of an emulator than ran CWM images that would suit all of my needs.
So I am not sure if it is just marketing, but would any/all hdmi mhl adapters work?

Well in the meantime I have something that should help. And be useful when you get a replacement phone. Assuming you can boot the device into download mode, flash THIS in the PDA slot of odin. It will then automatically boot to TWRP recovery and do a nandroid backup of data. This will backup EVERYTHING in /data. You can then pull the backup to a pc via adb or windows explorer and extract what you want from it using 7zip. This will not only guarantee that you don't miss anything but as an added bonus you can just restore the nandroid to your new phone when you get it.
As for anything on internal storage, your best bet is hooking up to adb (preferably in recovery to avoid permission issues) and running adb pull /data/media/ or browsing the phone via windows explorer
EDIT: I noticed in your other thread that you aren't too skilled in the adb department. If need be I have a second copy of what I posted above with one addition. It will automatically copy the backup to your external sdcard after it's created. Let me know if you'd rather have that one instead.
It its on the internal memory I can browse it via windows explorer. But don't I also need the /system folder as well as data?
I wouldn't mind buying the adapter, it is only $5, where as a new screen is $190 + install. I am still unsure how I go about using a mouse on my device through the mhl adapter?
EDIT:
I notice that it is thru Bluetooth that you allow the device to have a mouse and keyboard. Hmm. I would not be able to force the pairing of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse would I? Without any device on-screen interaction...?
Also I was thinking I could use this toolkit to make a nandroid.

Broken Power Button Workaround?

A friend's KF2 has a broken power button (spilled chocolate milk on it in purse w/out realizing for days- don't ask why she had choc milk in her purse - but she did). I opened the device, disconnected battery and cleaned the button as best I could with water then contact cleaner, let it all dry for a day and got some use back but it was still very intermittent contact, but enough to let me access Recovery. Now the button is not even intermittent - just dead black plastic pimple- has been for several months. They use it by powering it on with the usb cable - a little inconvenient but it's mostly for a kid and he doesn't mind as long as he can use it.
But this post isn't about button repair, a step I don't want to take at this time for assorted reasons. What I prefer is a different way to get into the installed TWRP recovery to restore a backup or flash gapps to attempt a repair of Play store errors or just start over with a newer rom.
The Play Store problem I'm trying to fix happened after it did a bunch of updates when I connected to my wifi. They have no Internet and it had been months since any updates of any kind. All but 3-4 apps updated fine and run/load normally as they should. But there were some that gave 'Error 406' messages when attempting updates and I get the same error when installing apps from the Play Store.
I read around and did some suggested solutions: deleted cache and data (incrementally) from the Google Play Store app, Google Play services and Google Services Framework, rebooted, etc -- but still get the error message when installing or updating.
The ROM (Powerpoint/hashcode's CM10.1 from June 2013 -> cm-otter2-userdebug 4.2.2 JDQ39E eng.michael.20130627.170752 test-keys) seems fine otherwise and has kept root so I attempted some restores (system files) from Titanium backup but still have problem.
ADB works but the command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
seem to simply power it down as it just goes black and lose USB connection. I unplug then reconnect usb and it boots normally.
This device was purchased before Amazon locked down the bootloader and I did this not owning a fastboot cable if that helps.
I would appreciate any suggestions on getting to recovery or perhaps how I might go about this using adb but no fastboot. Also if anyone has more suggestions to remedy the Play Store error that would be awesome too. As I said, the rom seems otherwise fine. This is a repair for a friend so there's no money involved, in fact she's ill and has very little to spend at this time. I'm doing this to help her and her kid. He wants some new non-wifi games and I can't get them to install. TIA :cyclops:
There is no other way.
You are incorrect in saying it was purchased before amazon locked the bootloader. The bootloader has always been locked. The recovery you are running is a "2nd bootloader" which allows us a hacked way into a recovery. Also referred to as bootstrapping.
Sorry to give you such news but there really is no other way.. We're lucky hashcode was able to get us a way to run custom roms at all.
Edit: also- play store error 406 usually means there is an issue with your Google account. Try a different account and see if that clears things up.

You are incorrect in saying it was purchased before amazon locked the bootloader. The bootloader has always been locked. The recovery you are running is a "2nd bootloader" which allows us a hacked way into a recovery. Also referred to as bootstrapping.
Sorry to give you such news but there really is no other way.. We're lucky hashcode was able to get us a way to run custom roms at all.
Edit: also- play store error 406 usually means there is an issue with your Google account. Try a different account and see if that clears things up.

Thanks for your reply. They had problems before but I simply restored then upgraded them with twrp and they were fixed and on a better rom..if I could just get the button to let me into recovery the kitkat sounds like a better fit. I'll try your suggestion and change the account and get the play store going, hopefully.

Accidentally deleted everyting...WITH NO BACKUP. Odin freezes fix plz help

I accidentally deleted everything on my S9 (SM-G960F) including the OS. Phone doesnt start however I can boot it into TWRP and download, when I try flashing the stock rom with Odin it gets to System then just doesnt work. It doesnt fail nor does it crash or freeze the bar just doesnt go up and ive been trying to fix all day so please can someone help me, its a new phone too. Atm im trying to download the firmware from XDA and see if that one works, is it possible it could just be that the stock rom im trying now is just missing something or could my laptop be the problem? Im open to suggestions and please help I beg.
Make sure to use ODIN 3.13.1 and you might have to check "Repartition" in ODIN options - it can take a while to flash, how long were you waiting for the bar to move?

When your TWRP is working, put a custom rom zip into your storage or sd card while beeing in TWRP and flash this. Thats it.
You can dowwnload all the nessesery files like rom, firmware and vendor here:

Hi, I accidentally deleted videos and pictures on my S9. If I root my phone will I be able to recover them?

try to see if google photos automatically backup your photos,
even if you root your phone you may not be able to recover all your photos or even none of them

Thanks for the reply!
I checked and my Google Photos is not configured to backup. My videos were deleted by the DJI app when I cleared Cache. So should I try rooting or give up? Will I only access the files if I was rooted before the accidental deletion?

since you already installed twrp and your Knox is tripped give it a try why not you can try with a few apps where you can find online ... Good luck!

I have not installed TWRP before I deleted the files. Does this mean I have no chance of getting the files?
Also, I can't find the unlock OEM option in my phone despite keeping it on for 7 days or tricking the date.
