guest mode 5.1.1 rooted - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

just to let people know who r wanting guest mode, if u are on 5.1.1 and have rooted u can get full guset mode by opeing up root explorer/ system/build prop and add these 3 lines
# Multi Users
fw.max_users=4
fw.show_multiuserui=1
save and exit then reboot phone, thus now have guest mode

Cool, what's the purpose of guest mode?
Let them get there own S6e.

Well, from the sounds of it, it is indeed a feature of Android 5.1.1. But it would appears that Samsung (or possibly the carrier(s)) have disabled it (or simply not enabled it)... likely for support reasons. Or so that they can release a new version later with it in enabled, and then they can say stuff like ,"look at all the cool stuff we give you!"

It did not work for me. i used these commands but no change.

[Scripts]Build.prop Scripts - OnScreen Keys - Model Edits

Fix Model
This will install a script to fix ro.product.model, CM 10.1 uses GT-N7105 for the model this can cause a few issues with play store and what not. It also shows on xda app and tapatalk. With nightlies coming out every night its a pain to keep changing build.prop to fix so just flash this and run one command then you are set. This will help those not sure or wanting to manually edit build.prop.
This will work for any rom but it seems this issue is only on CM 10.1 because they are supporting other carriers too.
Usage:
Flash in recovery right after flashing/updating CM
Open up terminal emulator and type su be sure the $ changes to #
Then type fixit
Reboot
Profit !
On a side note you can make model whatever you want by editing the script /system/bin/fixit, change SGH-I317 to whatever you want it to be...
Enable/Disable OnScreen Keys:
These scripts will enable or disable onscreen navigation keys.
Usage:
Flash zip in recovery right after flashing/upgrading cm
Open terminal emulator type su be sure $ changes to #
Type keyson to enable onscreen keys or keysoff to disable them
Reboot
Profit !
Note: These will work with ANY rom Touchwhiz or AOSP builds !!

OP, is it possible to get PCs to recognize our phones as 317 instead of 7105? If there's a way, I'll be all over it.
I unfortunately heavily rely on Kies to sync my Outlook contacts with my phone, and no, I don't like having my contacts only in GMail and running the risk of my address book going blank somehow if data or reception in general cuts out for me, since if that ever happens, I can at least use my phone as an address book to make phone calls through another device. And Kies doesn't seem to want to finish "establishing connection" with my phone... :\

Just FYI, once your contacts are on Google and synced with the phone they won't ever disappear, on the phone or online, unless you delete the account or make changes. Even with no connection you can view them on your device, and they can be exported to a csv file if you want an actual hard-list on your computer as well as the phone. I made the switch from outlook about a year ago & have never looked back. Although I did set up a separate Google account so their location & ad data doesn't ever mingle with my contacts.

Pls help!!! GT-I9192 ROOT

Hi All,
I'm trying very hard to search for the best method/option for rooting my Samsung GT-I9192 Duos(India Version) but not found any as yet.
Not sure if I have knox or not(is there is way to find out?) but I would prefer an option which does not void my warranty. Although if I have to, I don't mind foregoing the warranty. Also, I need only root - custom kernel, etc may not be required, Thanks
Can you please suggest the best and simplest method/option(preferably one click) to root my device having the following specs:
Model: GT-I9192
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9192DDU1BML1
Kernel version: 3.4.0-1971249
[email protected] #1
Sat Dec 14 21:59:36 KST 2013
Build number: JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1
Appreciate any help urgently, Thanks!!!
BS
well if you don't mind sending your info to some server in china [as some ppl claim] kngo root is your safest bet and you do have knox, you can always check it by going in download mode and see it if the word knox is there, which it will be in your case , btw after using kingo root you cannot boot into recovery you have to flash a custom recovery which will also trip your knox . or you might get lucky as me on the same build as you , rooted via kingo on I9192DDU1BML1 , deleted all Knox files [ search this forms for which files to delete] , flashed cwm recovery , flashed custom kernels, and still din't trigger knox only god knows why as i can't figure it out.
there are some other methods like saferoot , just do a search on this forums.
The BML1 has knox and saferoot does not work on BML1. Kingo works fine and I have rooted the BML1 on mine using Kingo
Sent from my GT-I9192
Some how Kingo refuses to work with my device. At first with Kies installed, it would connect to my device and get stuck at 0% on the "Downloading Device Driver Software Screen". I waited hours but it was still stuck at 0%.
After reading up on their support page, I downloaded and installed the drivers manually. But now Kingo wont connect to my device.
It does initiate a connection when I plug the cable/device in USB but after a few seconds, its back to the home screen saying "Device Not Connected".
I have tried the following drivers with/without Kies 3:
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.24.0.exe
SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe
What am I doing wrong? Hope there is another option/method if Kingo doesnt work out, Thanks again.

Hi... Yes, developer mode was turned on before starting the procedure.
What else could it be? Thanks
I have no clue. Do you have another Samsung phone to prove the setup on the computer? The Samsung drivers can recognize any Samsung phone if they have been installed properly.

Yes, I did root a Note 2 successfully with the same computer/setup but another/manual method(using Odin) with only Kies installed. I guess all required device drivers get installed when you install kies? This is the first time i'm using Kingo though.
Will this method work for my device? The only concern is I don't see I9192DDU1BML1 mentioned anywhere. Thanks

^ this method did work for me on the earlier firmware before BML1, but i lost my wifi so had to flash a custom kernel , dunno if it will work for ML1 as for usb try dialing *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.
had the same issue with kies and s4 drivers this sorted it out .

Yes I have already hidden the Supersu, thanks though for the alternative approach.
A couple of observations though, which may or may not be significant:
1) While installing SuperSu, there was a pop-up on the device which said something like "SuperSu has tried to make changes to your device and was blocked. It gave only 2 options I think (a) Block now or (b) Inform me again after 30 days. I chose option b.
2) I chose to block KNOX when it asked me as soon as I started SuperSu and It gave me a success message.
Now my question is - Will this 30 day counter give a prompt to block supersu again after 30 days?
If someone chooses Yes, then what will happen? Will the device become unrooted or apps needing root become dysfunctional?
I did block KNOX later so shouldn't all these notifications etc not come up anymore. Thanks!!

LG G3 Device Locked - McAfee Needs PIN after Factory Reset

Hey everyone,
Just got a New LG G3 and post a factory reset the device is asking for a McAfee PIN which was never setup. Is there anyway to skip this and move onto the homescreen? This screen has locked the device and no options work except the emergency call option.
Attached is a screenshot of the same.

Thats not going to work as its a lock which shows up before even setting up the phone if you do a factory reset. Spoke to support at Mcafee too who also could not fix it.

Reflash the stock firmware for your device
Sent from my SM-N900P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
Get a new phone. Something is wrong. I wonder what LG thought McAfee should give in user plus. You have to root to get rid of it, clever thinking
This is what happens if a half baked feature incorporated into a released device(I say it is half baked, it never should ask for a pin if the pin is not at all set at the first place & McAfee should have a solution to this problem). This is the 3rd or 4th thread that is opened on this issue, within last few days. Hopefully, McAfee or LG quickly find a solution for this, so that users don't suffer.
To OP, as some one suggested please try to flash the stock firmware(if it is possible).
Revoking administration privileges was the first thing I did when I got this phone.

Tried to talk to different representatives from Mcafee and they could not find a solution but anyway I have got this solved by going to the app and resetting it before the lock could show up. Will be writing down later on the complete procedure.
Thanks to everyone for contributing.

u cannot root this device when its lock by mcafee because of kill switch. so u have to think smart.
try to go to setting, in setting> guest> set a code for guest after it turn on guest option. than restart your device, before comming mcafee put the petern as guest... after this u have to go again in administration, at that time u will see mcafee will not come, and u can easily goto the mcafee app, after going on set your number as a buddy number, after setting buddy number, turn your phone off, insert sim and start it again. macafee will again apear... at that time click on send the code to buddy, proceed it.
this code will be applicable for an hour, so if u got the buddy code, after geting pin code u have to change the pic code to new one... after doing this procedure mcafee pin will be change.. and u can use this device
hope you got my point,:good: you dont need to root your device

Hi,
The main point of his workaround was to successfully open mcafee app.
why?
- because it has a feature where you can add buddy numbers.
- buddy numbers can be used to retrieve the unknown pin (not the actual pin but a temporary one which you can use to get past the pin log-in screen) through sending temporary pins to the buddy list.
- mcafee will ask for a new pin combination after the pin requirement screen.
P.S As long as you can open mcafee app, you are fine. I also don't have any workaround aside from what the OP posted.
yes . go to guest mode and turn screen off an on again put admin lock pin and go to mcafee app and set up buddy number @mDaynal you are great

That's a big deal to a lot of people though. For a lot of people who do not have root and are on KitKat, they can completely block packages on their phone that they otherwise could not. Sure, they allow you to block / disable certain ones on the phone itself, but not anything. This allows them to block any package, Knox included. And sure they could download a script, modify it for their purposes and create another script to unblock and so on and so on. But this maintains nothing and interacts with their device directly. Nothing to maintain and nothing to edit, etc. etc..
Anybody got a list of app that's safe to block. Don't want to cause an endless boot.
here's my complete script I have handy, after testing things and trying a few things without success, my phone many times would automatically erase all data and do a factory reset in the end of my failed experiments. Either that or I'd have to resort to that Odin package someone posted on here to flash back to stock. I think I've flashed my phone using that Odin package around 12 times now after downgrading from the forced updated NK3 back to original. I immediately run this script after enabling Developer options and enabling USB Debugging.
Just right click on the script and Run As Administrator on Vista,Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10.
**Make sure to have the 3 required Adb files to run Adb to communicate with device. I attached those 3 main files which you can extract to c:\windows\system32. This way you can run adb commands from any location on the computer since System32 is included in the environment variables for the OS

Jump on the forum thread, I have built in export and import of blocked packages support built in, someone will give you a list.
I Thank you Sir ... that is a nice, clean app that's works well, but I do have one suggestion for an improvement if you are open to it.
I like the fact that it has a filter function, but the filter only works on the name in the apk name, not the package name. It would be really sweet if it would search both areas. :good:

I used it and liked it, I agree with that idea and I'd also like to be able to not have to reload packages after I'm done with the filter, good all around program though.

You can uncheck the filter and it will display the full list again and it will keep your changes you made during filter.

3.5 just released
Version 3.7 is out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
broken 4 lollipop 5.01
not working, error dialog attached.
I figured if SD was writable and debloater cleared out the junk I could live without root with the update. I know I can disable some of the apps from the launcher, but there are / were some under 4.4.4 that only debloater could take care of for me. Unable to do that under 5.01.

[App][Root] FolderMount Support for Android 5.0+

For full FolderMount details, Go to this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122
People who have updated to CM12 or lollipop version are facing several issues regarding FolderMount app is not working, Link2SD etc. (I was one of those) so after taking help from people around, here i present you an easy solution for it.
About CM12 Based Devices (Lollipop 5.0+):
> Since you are on CM12 and we all know it is based on Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), you can see this is the basic concept here to make everything work like charm. What you have to do is change the SELinux status to PERMISSIVE MODE from ENFORCING MODE. This will allow the App to Get into with Full Root Access.
> What SELinux does here in ENFORCING MODE is that is limits the root access to be used. It generally stop the access to take all authority rights and moreover concentrating it should not damage your smartphone or tablet.
How to use FolderMount on CM12 Based Devices (Lollipop 5.0+):
1) Go to Play Store and Download SELinux Mode Change App
2) After the App Install, Open the app and allow root access.
3) You will now see ENFORCING MODE already selected.
4) Just click on PERMISSIVE MODE and head to Settings > About Phone.
5) Scroll to the last and see, the mode will be changed (CHECK SCREENSHOTS IN ATTACHMENTS)
6) Now, Open FolderMount and try to turn on the SymLink/FolderMount you wanted to create or already created.
7) Done! Enjoy your FolderMount or any other app that was creating root problems.

I think this is wrong place to post this thread, really nice work but wrong place bro.
@hemant4409: Yeah the thread is moved
I've tried to change SELinux mode to Permissive and foldermount was worked, but my phone became not responding. I had to enter recovery mode to wipe the application cache and my phone back to normal. I've tried it twice and i got the same result..

Try this:
Unmount everything > change mode to permissive > reboot > install foldermount, clear data, add new link, add the link again and mark
remove duplication, activate the link/mount, reboot and try.
Also check the root and app has full write permission to folders and files and it's not clashing with any other thing.

Thanks for ur reply, since SELinux related to root previledge, then i tried uninstalling some application which need root access. After that i could change SELinux mode to permissive without any problem..

Hit the thanks button if it helped I told you to remove some apps thats clashing root. CM12 comes pre-installed root option, so you don't need to install SuperSU or any third party app to manage root access.
Good, great help, thank you

you can set the app to update the status on every reboot just give the app proper permissions.

Hi
There seems to be an issue with FolderMount and Marshmallow, would these steps work for Marshmallow? Looking at the App updates, it doesn't seem MM is supported yet, do we just need to play the waiting game?
Update the SElinux and change the mode to permissive, then update the folder mount to latest version.
Restart your smartphone and you can add the mounted folders easily.
Give it a try!
Thanks!
Hi
My phone is already set to permissive but how would I update the SELinux? is this done as part of the ROM, how would I check which version I am on? I have resurrection ROM 5.6.2 installed on my galaxy S4 i9505 ROM. I have the latest version of Folde mount installed but it looks like it doesnt say that it supports MM. Have you had this working on MM or are you using it on LL?

download the SElinux mode changer. That will help you!
Hi
Is the app available on play store? When I search for SeLinux mode change it doesn't produce any results for that app, only similar sounding ones.
Would a new version of the ROM i am using automatically update this?
Thanks
Is there a Version for MM?
