How to unroot a device that has never been rooted? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Sprint Samsung Note 10 Plus
WiFi 44mm Galaxy Watch Active2
Samsung Knox Version 3.4.1
Android 10 (stock)
Hello. I am trying to use the new Samsung Health monitor app with my Note 10 Plus and Galaxy Watch Active2's new ECG function. It keeps telling me it can not open the app because my device is rooted. I have not rooted a phone since my S4. I've owned an S6 Edge, S8 Plus, and now the note 10 plus. I did have busy box still in my apps that were backed up to my app store. I uninstalled it. I did not have supers installed on this phone but zI believe it might have made it as far as my S8 Plus before I uninstalled it. I can't use any of the rooted fixes I came across and unroot apps don't work. They won't run because there is no root detected. I have not tried reset because it is not a new problem. My S8 Plus and now this phone show as being rooted. I use Webroot Secure Anywhere security. It has told me the phone is rooted from day one of ownership. The same for my S8 Plus. It is almost like a file or app that gets restored or installed when all of my backed items are transferred my device. I really want to use the ecg function on my watch for health reasons. I am at a loss for what to do. One thing to note my S4 was rooted. It died and was never u rooted. My S6 was purchased and my S4 data restored to the phone. Then S6 to S8 and finally S8 Plus data to Note 10 Plus.
I have not reset the phone and would prefer not to. I am working 7 days a week. The time to restore afterward is an issue. I will if that's what I must do but, I won't be able to for a while. Plus I don't have a complete backup for all my apps. I'd lose a lot I'd rather not lose.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

assuming it is not a 2nd hand phone i would try with webroot software removed

It is not. Bought it directly from Samsung. Well.... I'm assuming it is not. I paid for a brand new phone. Thank you. I will try that

[Q] Run Galaxy Note OS on my Galaxy Tab S

Hello a few weeks ago I met someone with a Galaxy Note 2 who was running a custom OS on his phone that gave him Note 3 capabilties which made me wonder, can I run a Note tablet OS on my Galaxy Tab S and buy an S Pen that will allow me to use features like Air Command & S Note?
If so, I'd like to know how. Thanks in advance.
Won't work. You can't run a note ROM on a tab S and the tab S screen isn't capable of reading an S pen.
I remember seeing some S pen stuff in the list of installed apks in the stock ROM. I suspect they all use more it less the same software. If the hardware isn't there, it is left unused.
Similarly, you see some phone stuff in the Wi-Fi version. Doesn't mean you can make calls.

Note FE GearVR Compatibility?

Now we all know that the GearVR no longer supports the use of the Note 7. But I wonder if Samsung has enable the Note FE to be used with the GearVR Seeing as the Note FE is nothing more than a refurbished Note 7 with a smaller battery.
I tried VR with the Note 7 ported rom last night and none of the software was present and it did nothing when plugged into the headset. Installed apks but no joy. Will keep you posted if I get it working.
Good news. editing build.prop > ro.build.model to "SM-G955V" (model no. for S8+) has stopped crashing of Oculus app.
Manually installing all packages has now allowed me to get into Oculus app Will try with the headset when I get home.
*edit* waiting on OTG fix from rom dev in hope it sorts the recognition.
VR does work on my Note 7 with Hydra without any issues. But change the model to a S7 edge SM-G935F because if you change it to a S8+ the Apps will think you are using a S8+ a 18.5 screen and will stretch the image! this will leave you with a wrong aspect ratio and a headache.
I'm not wondering if the original Note 7 will working with the GearVR. I wanna know if the Note FE running the stock OS will work with the GearVR. It is good to know that the original Note 7 will work with the GearVR running a custom OS
Chieco is right about what I was saying with the aspect ratio. No need to deviate from the way it was done before.
Sorry I didn't read your post properly. I think there will be issues still, like I'm having atm. As it's not supported like the note 7 you will need to root, do the build . prop fix and get the vr setupwizard apk as it won't be on the phone.

That sucks. I would have thought that Samsung would have addressed this when they released the Note FE. Seeing as the Note FE has a different model number and is running on the latest OS version

My guess would be that Oculus/Samsung couldn't be bothered or didn't want to make it easier to get it working on regular notes. This might be why the latest version crashes constantly and won't detect. I'm curious if it still works on hydra or if they patched it to not work on either note7 full stop.
Any News to use gear vr on our Note 7 with FE rom port (on hydraRom, it works...)

Is the Galaxy S9 fully compatible with last year's Gear VR SM-R324?

Hi,
I try to figure out if last year's Gear VR is fully compatible with my new Galaxy S9 and get conflicting information on this topic. Some sites say that the Gear VR for Galaxy S8 (SM-R324) will work with the Galaxy S9, e.g. on Android Central:
"First, you can tell just by the look of the device. If the headset is black and comes with the motion controller, then it works with the Galaxy S8 and therefore will also work with the Galaxy S9. Second, you can check your headset's compatibility using your Gear VR's model number. You can follow our how-to guide to find your model number. If your device's model number is SM-R325 or SM-R324 then your Gear VR will work with the Galaxy S9."

However, there is an article on cnet.com that says:
"Samsung's newest phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, didn't debut with any new VR hardware. They do work with the Gear VR. However, they only work with the Note 8 model released in September last year, not the nearly identical Galaxy S8 version that debuted in March that same year. We confirmed this with Samsung. The issue is all about the fit.
Apparently, the design of the S9 is different enough that attempting to put it into an earlier S8-compatible Gear VR, released in early 2017, could damage it. Samsung advises using the Note 8 Gear VR, released in September 2017, for the best fit."

Has anyone tried putting a Galaxy S9 into a SM-R324 headset? I'm asking because the SM-R324 is more favorable than the latest model (SM-R325), but I don't want to damage my phone in the process.
Thanks for your help!
STOP! All you need is one of these!
Genuine Samsung Gear VR4 2017 SM-R325 Type-C Adapter/Connector - GH98-42239A
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C59BRLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zogbBb3MCJ5JM
A lot cheaper than a whole new headset! You will need a stanley knife or craft knife to shave a small bit of plastic from the adapter but this is easily done and will be apparent when you compare the old and new adapters side by side.
I had the same question just a few days ago searched on the internet for it but couldn't find anything about it apart from a tweet from samsung australia which confirmed that sm-r324 should work just fine. So i bought it anyway since it was only 30 euro's for me. That article of Cnet also made me hesitate buying the r324 variant but I've tried it and can confirm that it works just fine. It fits perfectly and does definitly not damage the device. So yes you can buy the r324 variant no need for the r325 version. At least for the normal s9 (not sure about the s9+ but doubt it's any different)
I have a sm-r324 that worked with samsung galaxy s9+ until I upgraded to android 10.
Now, when I plug in the phone Oculus does not start and all that I can see (if I open the app manually) is the picture in which there is the indication to insert the gear vr (but nothing happened).
I have uninstalled all oculus app and service and inserted again the phone into gear, then I heard the sound e installed again all the app suggested (default procedure).
Do you know if there is some trick to make reworking the gear vr or is it better to install again android 9?
Thanks

My bp lab note 8 galaxy watch active

I'm asking for help this app worked note 9 and up. I downloaded the apk. I've got it installed but when It picks up on my watch it says app no longer available. Do I need to side load to watch. Were I have note 8 the watch app store don't even show it. Please any help.
Try this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatc...xy_watch_active_install_my_bp_lab_outside_us/
You also have to download the BP Lab app from the watch.
It seems you need to be in US and using a S9 or S10 for the app to appear in the gear store from the watch, and also to calibrate the watch using the optical sensor of these phone models. But after installing the app in the watch and calibrating it, you can use your watch to measure blood pressure without needing a S9 or S10 any more.

Pair Gear S3 watch from Note 8 to Note 10+

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place. I am having issues on my Gear S3 watch when I pair it to Note 10+. Some of the watch faces (especially the purchased watch faces) is not available on the Note 10+ Galaxy Store. When I go to Galaxy App >> My Page >> All, I cannot see the complete list of the watches faces I purchased before. While it can be re-downloaded and installed on my Note 8 Galaxy Store. It is all present on my Note 8 if I pair it again to it.
I also tried backing up everything on my Gear S3 watch from Note 8 then restore when I pair it to Note 10+ but still the some of watch faces are not downloaded afterwards.
The only difference I see is the Galaxy Store version. Not sure if this is the reason.
Need help on this. Thanks!

I had this happen with the Titanium SU Pro watch face where it was available for my Note 9 but not my Note 10+ 5G.
One email to the Dev and all is now good. The dev just needed to update the watch face to support the new device types.

Correct - the app store backend is pretty archaic. You have to tick every combination of phone model with each watch model. There isn't an option to have it automatically support all devices
I have sent email to the developers of the missing watch faces. Only 1 developer replied so far. He said, there is nothing he can do.
Still checking with him if there is a way to add support for the new device. :crying:

They just need to log in to the seller page, click update on the watchface and under devices they need to tick all the new ones. Then submit and it will be approved in about 30 minutes
