Rooted phone - Upgrade procedure ? - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi !
I've successfully rooted my A3 2017 but a question remains.
Can I upgrade with another updated stock rom via odin ?
Because if I do that, the developper option "OEM Unlock" will reset back to default
and I won't be able to boot anymore... Is this correct ?
As somebody an upgrade procedure with stock roms ?
Thank you (and sorry for my english...)

Yes you can normally flash via odin if there is a new rom release from Samsung!

You allways can flash with ODIN an original ROM , but that do not fix knox counter.
Can you post a list of the applications from samsung that you uninstall?

Ok, so flashing a new rom via Odin doesn't turn off OEM Unlock in developper options... Cool.
From samsung, I've deleted all knox related apps, galaxy apps and samsung update. Kept mail, message app, browser as second option( use Lightning browser).
The interesting thing is I deleted all google apps, but finally wanted to have them back. Couldn't find a working gapps zip to flash...
Later, I've disabled crypto for TWRP by formating data. After reboot, the phone was clean, with just facebook app and a minimal install for a working google play store. Cool !

sorry duplicated

[Q] "Unfortionately superuser has stopped" Error messege PLZ HELP

Hello to all,
I recently rooted my sgs3 sph-L710 v4.3 and am experiencing some problems. Whenever I try to open superusers it automatically closes, and I receive a notification saying, "security notice an attempt to access a secure area on your phone without authorization has been blocked." After doing some research online I discovered that the 4.3 version is protected by KNOX. Online sources state that in order to defeat the KNOX system you must update supersu, but I am not sure how to do that. Whenever I download supersu from the Google play store there is no option to update it. I would really appreciate any help thanks.

Have you checked to make sure you haven't lost root? When you install an app from Google play, you get the latest version.
sent from my GS3
Also, have you actually opened up the SuperSU app? You need to open it up (not just download it) so that it will prompt you about disabling Knox, and it might also prompt you to update the binaries. And which custom recovery are you using? If need be, you can flash the SuperSU zip from recovery, and if you are using Philz Touch (HIGHLY recommended) there is an option to have it check for root before booting back into system.
I did it!!!

Yes I finally got it to work I just re rooted the device and superuser was gone. However, i downloaded supersu and it prompted me to update, i did and I was able to bypass knox! I think it was a problem with the method I used to get my phone rooted the first time. The video tutorial I watched the first time told me to uncheck the 2 boxes that come prechecked on odin i believe one of them was auto reboot i cant recall the other one. Then I took out the battery of the phone and selected the root file through mod recovery mode and that was it. The second time around I left the boxes checked and my phone auto restarted. I then downloaded supersu updated,rebooted, and Visalia!!!
Thanks guys I appreciate the help.

Help me pls! could not use playstore/google service after root

As title, i root my tab s 8.4 today by the cf-auto root, after that i could not use any Google service.
i tried the method i could search on the forum, reset auto date/time, clear cache, delete google service data/ apps, update these service, factory reset, clean flash rom and its still not working. now i totally cannot download any apps from playstore or use apps that connected to google play.
update: after send to samsung service center, they could not found out whats wrong with my tab. They reflash local original firmware for me(before send i flashed a Russia firmware). somehow they able to erase all stuff very clean without leaving any trace that i mess up and it work perfectly. BTW they did do it free for me (under warranty even i rooted and trigger the knox to 1 with warranty void).

Thats a random one, best solution i can give you there is going into settings and doing a full reset, your tablet gets wiped but your personal documents get left...then when you sign back into google all ur apps should redownload themselves and your contacts and it will still be rooted m8....let us know how you get on pal.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235 t700/t705
If this doesnt do the trick just dwnload the latest firmware for you from sammobile.com , extract the file inside the zip, use odin to flash it...this is the 1.6gb sized file im talking about, it will completely re go over EVERYTHING there is to go over except obviously your personal stuff...you will end up with an unrooted deep factory reset devices...then try another root method...if your feeling brave ...good luck m8

Hello. Does google play force stop or...? Does it say cant connect bla bla bla?
The only thing I can suggest is installing cm11 and flash the gapps package. It should remove google play and reinstall it.

Hey Thanks for the fast reply.
Well, it crashes all the time, have to keep hitting ok, so i uninstalled the play store etc. I rooted and wanted CM in the first place so this will be awesome If i can get it working. I noticed that the installer isnt supported but could you link me to the best tutorial to follow. I have only done this once on my S3.
Thank you in advance and peace.

Installer? You need to install twrp recovery. Just download flashify (from playstore) and install the latest twrp.
I assume you have the Tab S 8.4 SMT700? If so http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54549581 is the link and download for cm11. This is for google apps forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
And download this for supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Just download all that.
Heres a video I made for how to install cm12. The procedure to install is still the same. http://youtu.be/K96siaPKtrU

[Q] Hot to root, install recovery and ROM on a SM-T805? Confusing info out there!

Hi there,
I have a SM-T805 from a few months, and I grew tired of its lags and sloppiness. I've tried to read many threads to find the most simple way too root, install TWRP and a ROM, but most of the threads are old and quite confusing.
So... could someone please tell me, step by step and with the proper links, how to ROOT and install TWRP in the easiest and most safe way?
Thanks a lot!

You don't need to ROOT 'AND' install TWRP.
Just install TWRP and it will root for you.
You can use the version below if you wish which I built, I have updated the Super su root files and fixed an issue with the wrong reboot option showing - BOOTLOADER instead of DOWNLOAD mode.
Just install via ODIN then boot into TWRP, select reboot from within TWRP and it will ask if you wish to root your device. After that your device will be rooted with the latest updated root.
unofficial-twrp-2.8.5.0-chagall
Did it and installed Iron Rom. Thanks a lot
I have one problem... after I installed TWRP and rooted, with ANY rom I install, included the original one, I get the "no connection" error with every single app from google. In other words, I can't use the tablet. It's like Google knows the tablet is rooted and blocks it. How can I solve this?
Try resigning into your Google account. If that doesn't work clear cache and data for Google play services.

I found out that when I'm rooted, Android automatically sets my wifi connection behind a non-existent proxy. This happens in EVERY ROM I install, from the original one to Cyanogen. I just have to disable that proxy and everything works. WTF.

Rooted device and deleted crucial apps!

So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 8.0 (TM310) and started deleting bloatware. I restarted the device after deleting a couple of bloatware and think I deleted a necessary Google app. I kept getting a popup saying "android device manager has stopped working" so I think I deleted that. Being stupid I never actually created a backup (learnt my lesson) and thought if I factory reset the device, I'll have the original apps back; this did not work and created a problem. Now when I try to setup the the tablet, the google part comes up after setting up WiFi and it asks you for your first and last name to personalise the tablet. Considering I deleted an app, it just says android device manager has stopped working and just restarts the part where I have to enter my name. Essentially I can't setup or use this tablet without the app so is there a way to actually get it back? I'm willing to try anything as there is no loss. Tablet is useless otherwise. Thanks for your time!

First of all, thanks for your rom and topics about the sm_G1600 !
Can you tell us which base rom you used for this optimized rom you made ? I'm using now ZCU1AQB1, rooted & with google market installed and prefer not to downgrade.

I used ZCU1AQB1 only. As personally using the same stock based firmware. Still now stable and rocking I am ameture developer though - need more people to look into this device - it is having good potential ! Presently working on completely disabling selinux or atleast permissive mode. May be next version
I was unable to download the ROM today. Is the link down?

Thanks! I got it downloaded. However after I installed it, WiFi refuses to stay on. I toggle it on and it just toggles back off right away by itself. When I reflash stock software, I can use Wifi, however.

Did you wiped your data partition before installing the ROM ? If possible, backup your internal storage, go to wipe, select wipe data, and type yes. Then using adb sideload - try to install the ROM
1. started with firmware g1600zcu1aph8-20160909140813_chc . This was a clean install through Odin.
Software settings at this point:
android version 6.0.1
baseband g1600zcu1aph8
kernel 3.18.24-8981871
build number mmb29m.g1600zcu1aph8
se for android status enforcing
knox version 2.6
android security patch level august 1, 2016
2. I then went into download mode, and using Odin, flashed the TWRP found on this page: https://www.aryablog.info/2017/06/rooting-and-installing-google-app-on-galaxy-folder-2-sm-g1600/ . This starts out in Russian and you have to switch to English every time.
Before flashing TWRP, download mode reported:
Product name SM-g1600
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
reactivation lock: off
crom service: unlock
knox warranty void: 0x1 (0x20c)
qualcom secureboot enable (csb)
ap swrev: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
secure download: enable
download mode!!
3. Reboot, wifi is still working
4. Boot into recovery (TWRP)
5. At this point the phone is not rooted. I now did an advanced wipe, including dalvik/art cache, data, internal storage, and cache
6. Now I flashed your ROM Sillycon_beta_1_sm _g1600.zip via TWRP
I select safe format
I get a lot of "failed to mount data" errors here before the flash starts
No errors appear during the flashing process
script says everything went fine
7. I reboot
During reboot at the top it says: set warranty bit: kernel
There's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and next to it some Chinese text that google translate says is a warning that the phone has a non-samsung official system.
8. green screen with cogs while "android is upgrading" and optimizing apps
9. System boots to main screen. I attempt to toggle Wlan on, but after half a second it just toggles back off.
10. At this point, I put in my SIM card to see if that affects anything. Wlan still won't stay toggled on. I am able to make a phone call without any problems. I wasn't able to login to Google, getting the error that I don't have a network connection.
I go into mobile networks. I check Preferred Networks which is blank. Network mode is LTE/3g/2g auto connect. access point names has nothing selected, I set for ATT Nextgenphone. Under network operators I select Select Automatically and get "registered on network" popup.
Still can't sign in.
I then tried all the other options under Access point names, with the same result.
It should be mentioned that I have an AT&T microcell, so picking up data signal should not be a problem inside the house.
This is not my "daily driver" phone, so I'm not in a jam here. I can only guess it's possibly something to do with the radio (modem?) file, or something to do with using this phone on AT&T in the US.
Btw I fixed the data so it worked. For some reason it was toggled off.

Can you provide links to the TWRP version you are using? There are different TWRPs for different phones, and the twrp app doesn't list this phone.

Attached with this reply. Though I personally changed the default language to english. But, still under modification. I will share soon. Also suggesting you to try Beta2. Flash it, then install following
1) OpenGapp Pico ( for arm )
2) Wanam Xposed https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344
3) Any Viper4android for Marshmallow.
New one is much faster and daily driver. No knox popup, so su issue ( sepolicy injected ). Please don't forgot to press thanks if it helps. :good:
How can I make TWRP mount the data partition?
And has anyone figured out google assistant?

Do you have the stock kernel from the Chinese version firmware?
I was able to get google assistant working using the Korean version firmware, but it doesn't allow for exposed because the kernel has the security patches up to May 2017
My ROM based on Chinese Firmware only. Please find kernel https://mega.nz/#!zMIlkABB!PaVLQynV9R4MnyBxgB8d05ymq7pf1HD-AAE-xdj4TsQ
Can you please share Korean Firmware Download URL ? May come-up with a ROM with that.

I don't see a link for just the kernel. I can upload the Korean firmware to google drive.
Upload error . Updated that post with Mega URL.
Wait a few minutes, I will have the Korean G160N firmware on Google Drive.
Not sure if dual sim will work, flash at your own risk.
