[Q] Encrypting a Galaxy Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a new Galaxy Note 3 (having bricked one trying to understand why it wouldn't encrypt) and now with a full stock rom I still find that the phone is impossible to encrypt.
I have an encrypted SD card in it. (only thing I can think of that might be causing problems)..
Settings > General > Security > Encrypt Device keeps stopping after a single shutdown,
How the heck do I encrypt this thing?? - Am I missing the blindingly obvious..
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue. Encryption is requited to get my work email and I can't get it to go.

Finally got mine to encrypt
Took me a bunch of tries.. and finally once i opened a chat with samsung support it finally worked.. i was at 100% charge, plugged into the wall and if finally worked. not sure if thats a bug in its detection if your over the stated 80% or not... good luck.. i finally got it working though.. only did a fast encryption as it didn't work on previous tries either way... so i just chose one and tried it again.

I have the Google Policy Manager and Encryption is required for me too. I started at 81% and the first time I did it, it just rebooted. The second time I did it it worked like it was suppose to. Try it again right after it reboots and see if it works.

Make sure the phone is charged and keep trying over and over.
It will work eventually.

I gave up. I'm using touchdown now for work email which will allow me to skip full device encryption

Same problem here, it will not encrypt
....help please

This is the answer I found doing a couple of root and unroot
1.If you encrypt the device and then root it you will net get past the passcode in the phone (black screen)
2. If you root the phone first and ten try to encrypt you will get the problems mentioned in this thread
..any tips how to get the phone rooted and then encrypted?

anyone at all? im stuck. Bump!

was having a similar problem on nexus 4 but safe mode helped there.
dind't help on my new n3. shouldn't have rooted before encrypting.
tried pressing encrypt about 10 times.
tried boot into recovery + wipe . also tried safe mode. also tried unroot + factory reset (pretty sure recovery + wipe /data is the same as reset user data from settings).
waiting for the firmware image to download - decided to try a firmware reflash

and then before flashing it I tried rebooting to recovery and powering off and encrypting and it worked. or maybe it was that random 12th time it worked because of an unrelated reason.
and after trying to root it again it just booted to a black screen after cf-root and enter encryption password screen.
*sigh*

I'm an AT&T customer, but I bought a T Mobile Note 3 off of Craigslist, unlocked it, rooted using Chainfire's ODIN thread, and then used the RegionFree Lock Away app. I was unable to encrypt just like you guys until I did the following. Flashed TWRP tar file from the TWRP site using ODIN. Rebooted into recovery and made an image, backup up everything, just in case. Rebooted and went in the SU Superuser application that Chainfire originally installed and uninstalled through the settings in the program. Once I rebooted I was able to encrypt the device (without fast method), I already had my SD Card encrypted. Once I encrypted the device I downloaded Kingo Root at the advice of DesignGears and used the one click root application from the Kingo Root site (google it.) After I did that, I now have full root access back, encryption, and never had to uninstall the region lock, so I didn't lose phone connectivity, applications, or anything else during the process. I recommend using TitaniumBackup and syncing via Google Drive or Dropbox before you start the process so you can restore your apps and data, once again, just in case.

encrypted ATT Note 3 not able to root
I was able to unroot my ATT Note 3 and then encrypted it. But Kingo Root failed to root the device. (I used it to root the phone once previously)
Now I stuck in a status with encrypted phone not able to root anymore.
Any suggestions please?

I was able to get mine to encrypt after killing the bloat apps. All Google sync, amazon, and Verizon services. I can't say which one was killing it since it stopped pretty much every app or service that wasn't critical to the device.

Can anyone confirm that Encryption will never work once we root our phone ?

Same question here... Anyone was able to encrypt after being rooted???

Same question, rooted can't encrypt.

Just got a note 3 and this is an old thread. So wanted to update this question.
To encrypt device after root all that is needed to do is run the following command from terminal or adb shell as root. You must have the latest busybox installed.
pkill -KILL daemonsu
After running this command you should be back at the "$" prompt and out of root. Do not run su again.
Then encrypt your device. Encryption should work fine. Once rebooted you will have root again.
I had to repeat the above steps because I ran su again. Running su restarts daemonsu.
Good luck

Hi,
I was able to root and encrypt my sm-n900 note3 using the steps mentioned on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791587
Just make sure that you have your backups ready case something goes wrong
I've installed the bloatwares after rooting and encrypt.

[Q] Should I be concerned - Mysterious PP app found on device

Here's a little background to my dilemma.
I bought a used Note 3 running 4.3 / MJE. It has never been rooted as far as I can tell. It has a clean ESN according to Swappa. I never activated it, never connected it to a Wifi network, and never put my sim in it. It was factory reset and the first thing I wanted to do was root it.
So, I downloaded Kingo 1.1.6 from the first link that Google provided (I don't know if I can reference the site) and I ran the program. Root was successful! I then installed SafeStrap, and finally flashed SuperSU from recovery. Everything looked great, but...next to SuperSU in my app drawer was an app that I never saw before. It was a green icon with what looked like two white letter P's in it. Stupidly, I clicked on the app and it opened some sort of Chinese thing. I immediately backed out of the app and uninstalled it. I then factory reset the device. Root and recovery are maintained. And now there is no sign of the mysterious app. But I'm still freaked out about it. Was it some Chinese spyware? Keylogger? Or something more innocent? Do you think it's completely gone or is it possible that it has hidden files somewhere on the device?
I've uninstalled Kingo from my PC and ran several scans of the computer which have turned up nothing unusual. But I still haven't connected the phone to any Wifi or cell networks nor have I entered any personal information on the device. I'm itching to use the device, but I'm nervous about any malware on it.
So, does anyone have any thoughts on the safety of the phone?
I would say that as long as you have factory reset the phone and the app didn't somehow install itself in the /system partition, your phone should be okay, since a factory reset effectively wipes away everything in /data and /cache. But I wouldn't trust Kingo, because many users in the past have reported that it presumably installs spy software on your phone (which collects IMEIs and other sensitive data and sends them unencrypted to China), and it is very likely that the app that you have described here is spy software. (So far, no one has reported anything suspicious in the /system partition, at least according to the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518829.) I noticed you have taken precautions by not connecting the phone to the Internet, so you are safe.

Yeah. I see a ton of debates about the integrity of Kingo...I know that I'll never use it again.
You should be concerned about any mysterious PP....

I also agree that you should ensure that you wipe all partitions, and SD card to be safe from Safestrap. Go in there and do an Advanced Wipe, checkmarking:
/data
/cache
/system
dalvik-cache
internal sd card
I'd even go a step further and Odin it just to make sure its squeaky clean.

It is a app that is normally removed in the final moments of the kingo root session. its happened a few times when I used kingo. Disable data on your note and make sure your pc firewall is strict with kingo so u can keep your data private.
I trust kingo, from what i understand the PP app is a exploit through the camera that uses the chinese code to gain root access

[Q] May have bricked my Tab

So my wife and I got a 7" Tab 3 from some hour long seminar thing. She setup her account and then I did mine. On mine I get a popup about every 20 seconds about my Knox account not being activate. I've never heard of Knox so I did some googling. In the security administrators menu it won't let me uncheck the Knox box. There is no Knox app. When I go into all apps there are 2 apps with Knox in the name and I can't open, kill, stop, or anything else to either. So from what I could tell I was stuck with the popup. I decided to try and root it and see if I could delete it that way. I have probably rooted about 15 phones, tabs, iCraps, etc. in the past with no problems. During the Odin root it failed. Now it's stuck at a screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". I'm downloading Kies now. Any suggestions? Thanks
How did you root it? This is tab 4 forum not 3.... Can you still get into Odin mode?

search odin reboot, odin reboot tar, odin reboot dummy, odin force reboot
it's one of those, when you find the thread you'll know it.
flash that dummy file to force odin to reboot and hopefully clear/dump cache,
make sure you have the appropriate custom recovery odin image for your tab,
if odin reboot works, force reboot your tab again to odin, start a fresh session of
odin on your pc [not reset, a new session] flash your custom recovery,
i strongly advise AGAINST twrp for this operation, after you get your tab
re-established then switch to twrp if that's your preference.
if recovery flash goes well, force reboot to recovery and connect via adb.
download chainfire's latest supersu update zip and a custom rom for your
tab, if needed. Push file to tab via adb push, then flash supersu if your
stock rom is still intact, otherwise flash custom rom.
stock rom intact - open app drawer and launch supersu, it should ask you
if you want to disable the knox nag. if successful, reboot to recovery
and make a backup, then perform a factory reset, reboot and re-launch
supersu and go from there.
by the way... WRONG FORUM !!!
just kidding ... :silly:
seriously though...

First, thanks for the reply. I got it fixed this morning.
Sorry, it's a Tab 4. I guess I was in a hurry and tried flashing the firmware for the 10". I let it sit overnight so the battery would die. I downloaded the correct stock firmware which took hours. In the morning I let it charge for a few hours then plugged it into the computer. I got the same screen but Odin recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware without any problems. Its working fine now with no traces of Knox.
I guess the next step will be rooting it...
Tab 4 ...no google play store, etc. after unrooting??
Anyways I had the great idea of rooting my newly purchased TAB 4. I too used Odin 3. I loved the fact that I was successful at gaining root without data or app loss,. though slowly I began to see pop-ups pertaining to apps on my sd card. After awhile, I was seeing more pop ups on my screen for apps that began to stop working. Most importantly Google Play store. I panicked and decided to unroot without backing up. After that, I tried to factory restart. Being that I was no longer rooted, I figured it was safe to restart from scratch. What was I thinking? It all started over again, only this time with the out of the box look. Honestly I have only done the whole root process a couple of times and from what I understood it seemed to be fairly easy according to the process explained to me. All was well until I couldn't gain access to my apps. or for that matter download new ones. Is my Tablet dead or is there a possible answer? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?
Thanks

I think you're leaving a step out here... Did you use some app like apps 2 SD? Why did you root? What root software did you use?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
hi,
after unroot , factory reset, cache and dalvik wipe don't account for the
garbage left in /data/data and settings left in place.
apps 2 sd is janky on stock roms, that's been my experience anyway.
you should only be using an odin root method for devices that do not
have a custom recovery available. Use chainfire's supersu update zip.

Help with Root and Recovery please!

Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.

Root same way as you rooted marshmallow. Flash twrp, flash supersu 2.79. everything is the same. it will take a while to boot though be patient.
Flash TWRP in Odin
Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip in TWRP
no its not working......After install recovery stuck in Samsung Flashing logo....
TWRP is making the devices get stuck on Samsung logo....
I think what is happening is that when you install only the twrp the encryption of the device conflicts and leaves in bootoolp. When you install twrp and root , root already comes with a tool that takes out the encryption. But if you just want twrp, as was my case, you should, first of all, on your own twrp, wipe data and then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.
Having root and no encryption sucks. Think I'll wait
Found Some Official Announcement From @Chainfire
Source :- Link
ChainFire Info
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here yet. I've had the stock firmware randomly stop booting even without modifying the boot image (rooting). Others have also reported that just flashing TWRP may trigger a bootloop (which is weird). I have some ideas what the cause may be, but it will be some time before I can properly investigate them.
The only way I seem to reliably get both TWRP and SuperSU working right now is:
- Flash TWRP (3.0.2-5) to recovery
- Immediately boot into TWRP
- If you were encrypted, format /data (ext4) and reboot into TWRP again
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3 in TWRP
- Reboot into Android
The first boot will take a while if you performed that format, but for me it ultimately completes. Note that your device will be running unencrypted at this point!
Of course, if you format /data, you will lose all your data (including contents of internal storage!). Before I flashed the new version, I used FlashFire v0.54-PRE to create a backup of /data and internal storage to the removable sdcard, and restore that backup after flashing DPLT, rooting, and reinstalling FlashFire. This worked fine for me, and all my settings - including fingerprints and system settings - transferred fine. I came from the first Nougat beta, but I've seen others reporting success doing the same thing coming from Marshmallow. As always, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, due to this boot-loop issue with DPLT and encrypted data, it is also impossible to use FlashFire to upgrade the firmware itself to DPLT while keeping root if you started with an encrypted device.
I am not sure if the same difficulties exist with other official builds than DPLT, nor if the same problems occur with any of the custom ROMs based on DPLT. The S7 is my daily driver so I don't like to experiment with it too much
Below attach the required Files, I gonna try tomorrow. If anyone tried now please report update.

You can root but you have to disable encryption. Not a fan of that personally so I'll wait for another solution. If I lose my phone at least I'll have secure power up enabled. There is no bypassing that. There are too many FRP exploits on Youtube so having no encryption and simply a password isn't enough in my opinion.

Since you are rooted, uninstall S Health and install a lower version number which doesn't require Knox.

S Health is now locked down if you have tripped knox. The only solution is to use an older version.

Security log will stop after you launch SU application and let SU to disable knox, it takes me always two attempts, disable, keep trying then i restart smartphone and after restart i try to disable knox again and it works, no more pop ups.
About S Health I'm looking for solution, so far should be enough to install older version set it up and update for new one, problem is that i cannot uninstall old version to get new one working.

SuperSU couldn't disable Knox for me after many tries. In the end I just used Titanium to freeze Knox.

Try titanium. Backup the app first and then uninstall.

Phone still saying rooted after putting stock firmware on

So I rooted my phone following information on this site/a video guide from youtube (I dunno if I'm able to post links but I can PM if you need to see what it had me do etc) so I did a fresh root with TWRP, RMM bypass, no-verify encryption, magisk. All worked great the phone was rooted etc, I then stupidly removed google play services to try get an early date APK which caused issues so I thought a wipe with TWRP would fix the issue but the startup wizard wouldn't work, so I then removed startup wizard via TWRP got back into the phone and put the new version of play services on, yet still had issues so I got the default firmware for my model at samsmobile and put it on via odin - all worked great phone booted fine etc but some apps said a boot was detected, so I made sure to go into developer options and make sure the OEM was locked, did a wipe via the default options when holding power>bixy>up however some apps still say the phone is rooted.. I checked with a rootchecker and I pass the safety and it says no boot detected. So I dunno what the problem is? The only thing I did see was when I did the wipe this came up
"remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT' (no such file or diectory)
e:[libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid: '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible: no such file or directory"
Really dunno what to do from here.
