I have a phone from my company but for the MDM client , Airwatch, to work, It cannot be rooted.
I am one of the Admins for the MDM console so I can reset my status after I've flagged it. So I can root it, do changes, but then need to unroot to enable emails again.
I've yet to figure out how/where to Whitelist my device fully for root detection in the meantime.
1. Goto google.com/android/devicemanager and locate your phone.
2. Click "Lock" and chose a new number password.
3. Type the new password on your phone and it will unlock.
4. Now it should let your change the lockscreen to anything, and foxfi will continue to work
Still working after restarting phone and using Foxfi

Ok, I will assume by mentioning Foxfi still works on the last step, that one of my first steps should be to get Foxfi?

FoxFi does work and the process to make it so that you can choose the lock screen type that you want (the steps he documented) works as well.

Has anyone been able to encrypt the N3 after rooting? I can't get it to go and it is mandatory for my work email to be pushed to my phone.\
edit: I've now tried manually using the settings menu. Even after setting a "high security password" it just flashed the android encrypt icon, reboots and then goes right back into the system. I've tried doing "fast encryption" as well and that doesn't work either.
edit 2: If anyone is wondering I didn't get this to work, however, after some searching I was able to find that Touchdown does encryption and will enforce all policies within the touchdown app itself keeping it separate from the rest of the phone. So I'm able to get my work email, not have to encrypt my entire phone, and stay within policy compliance. I just wish touchdown integrated with the stock calendar.... can't win 'em all.

I've noticed this as well. Can't encrypt device when System reports "Custom". Currently it seems the only path to device encryption is restoring un-rooted stock firmware. . . .
This is driving me nuts since I have to encrypt my device do to Coporate net.
encrypt first then root - Don't work
Root first then encrypt- Don't work
can anyone else confirm this ?

im not a dev but have read about this issue from S3 and up and the only positive thing i have seen is that it can be possible when TWRP can be installed it "can" support encryption. i dont think you will find a solution without recovery option.

Confirmed. I've tried repeatedly to root-then-encrypt. All attempts failed. As soon as I un-rooted and rebooted, I was able to encrypt.

After weeks of trying different things.I Finally figured it out!!
First- Encrypt your device, before rooting
Second- Use the Kingoapp Root method, not Root De La Vega. When i used Root De La Vega, it would not work, and I would get the same error as everyone else. http://www.kingoapp.com/# is the link to the kingo root method. Its a One-Click method that took 10 minutes from start to finish. I just downloaded Multi-Window Manager to test the root, and it worked like a charm.
So here' s a problem that makes zero sense. When I try to install the certificate for FoxFi and put in my security method of choice (PIN), it will take me to a screen that tells me to draw my unlock pattern even though I never set or initiated one. What's even more funny is that there isn't even a way to draw an unlock pattern when it asks; the input method is for PIN, so all I can do is insert numbers.
Has anyone run into this and knows how to get past it?
Recently installed Foxfi on my wife's Note 3, didn't have any trouble.
Suggestion: go into your security settings and setup a PIN before trying to install the certificate. If it is already setup, it shouldn't prompt for it during the installation.
Are you by chance rooted? I was working with a stock VZW Note 3.
Special thanks to rootjunky. I used part of his work to get this done. Enjoy
1. Startup priv
2. Connect to wifi
3 when priv shows checking connection then immediately it shows software update switch of router to stop connection with the priv
4 hit next till u get to the setup pattern screen, setup a pattern lock then restart phone
5 when phone restarts phone will be locked with the pattern u setup earlier.
6 launch the dialer button from th locked screen and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter secret menu.
7 hit on usage statistics
8 hit on the back button and u will find yourself in settings
9 scroll down to backup and reset
10 reset phone and when phone starts up, setup a new device. That's it
Special hanks to rootjunky for tips
Doesn't work
follow the instructions as I posted before u come here to complain, I bypassed a device with that method . and little correction, the back key u should use when in usage statistics is the back key on the top left corner not the one down.
Even it didn't worked for me. I tried and went through this process very carefully but was all in vain.
Please suggest.
now tell me were u found difficult
I tried this on latest may security patch and it still works

Exactly, factory resetting through settings using this guide doesn't bypass FRP. It still asks for the previous persons credentials.

Very strange. I tried this on 5.1 when I got the device and it worked with that process very well, even with the may security update it still works . Frp under normal circumstances shouldn't be triggered if the device is wiped from settings, this leaves us with food for thought.

There is another process used by rootjunky on the s7 were he logs in his Google account inside some process in running applications when e finally arrived in settings . I guess we have to look for a way to log in another Google account before resetting the device .

Try to add New User from setting.
Add existing gmail account.
It will allow you to access phone.
Now go back to Setting and click on Owner
Now from Owner reset the phone from backup and reset.
Phone is unlocked.

That bypassed FRP for you? I already sold the phone at a loss so I can't try this method

So I upgraded my G900V to Marshmallow and then did a factory reset after I verified it worked because I wanted to start fresh, but now the setup screen says "abnormal factory reset" and is asking for my Samsung Account credentials. When I try to sign in it says "processing failed" every time and won't go past the page...
What I have tried (all have failed):
1. resetting my Samsung Account password (twice now...)
2. a second factory reset
3. using find my mobile to unlock it
4. flashing the stock kitkat firmware (fail with odin)
5. flashing a custom recovery (fail with odin)
6. using the OTG cable method (nothing displays on the screen...)
7. using the sidesync method (nothing displays on the screen...)
8. Called Samsung Support 3 times:
-regular support # - told to call the accounts # during business hours
- accounts # - told that they would have it remotely unlocked by the next morning (of course they don't follow through)
-accounts # - given the runaround treatment for 1.5 hours until a supervisor in the returns department tells me there is nothing more they can do and don't have the capability to service it (apparently it's still under warranty even (not that it matters.....))
So does anyone know a work around? I would really like to get my phone functional again.
The phone is not stolen! If anyone wants proof I am happy to supply multiple clear photos of the phone itself and the imei number, which is clean.
I managed to bypassed it, created samsung account, phone works but i can`t set custom recovery, samsung support doesn`t help either. I have g900p.

Unfortunately mine doesn't have any option close to that. Lucky for me though I think Samsung came around, I tried submitting a repair request for a second time and this time I was approved and it will be covered under warranty.

I'm able to use the downgrade/OTG method to get access to the phone, but then I am in a situation where I can't turn off the Reactivation Lock, it just stays stuck on. What were the ADB commands that you used to turn it off? Thanks for your help.

I can`t turn it off. I even managed to create samsung account but after I enter password nothing happens
UPDATE:
so Samsung not only fixed the problem, but they also restored the phone to like new condition (it was in very beat up but no cracks condition previously) so I really have to give props to them for their amazing repair team. It took about a week total if anyone is wondering.
I have a new method to remove reactivation lock it is confirmed working. It works on Samsung eMMC and Toshiba eMMC.

My grandma gave me her old tablet to fix that had a bad charging port. A year later turns out it was a bad cable, tablets fine. She doesn't remember the password to her tablet, I literally have the owner my gmas permission to do anything necessary to get into the files for her ebooks pics etc.
The problem is, I can't connect to WiFi and guess the password wrong, to ask Google account to reset password, and I really don't wanna get aircrack-ng and start sniffing and make a fake AP just to legally and regularly query Google for a Google account tablet password reset. I've reset passwords on my devices on MY account before, but I've had access to SIM or WiFi, now I don't. I also had access to the account, not having to walk someone else though it for their security. I'm sure it's still on her account, not sure how it's gonna help if I can't get it online.
Can I unlock bootloader without ADB debugging enabled? Will unlocking bootloader wipe her pics and ebooks? Can I bypass the pattern lock somehow even temporarily for file manager access?
Please help, thanks.
