Status of Secure Folder on rooted Oreo - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I know this was discussed probably million times but there isn't a single good explanation if it will ever happen or impossible at all.
On Android 7.x I had My Knox running just fine with magisk and superstock kernel (it fakes knox 0x0) however on 8 I can't seem to make it work. Knox is ok but samsung pass and secure folder detect that the device is rooted, tried magisk hide on many apps but without success. The author of Superstock kernel said he don't have the device anymore and can't test it.
Thanks in advance for any meaningful info!

also looking to see if its supported on A8 2018... Oreo

In Nougat it was possible to use SPay,Secure Folder with tripped knox,but in oreo Samsung found the issue and patched it, the old method isn't working anymore,and no we can't fix it on Oreo.

Ask yourself how necessary Secure Folder is. I used it for 18 months. Rooted, and simply found good alternatives to the problem it was solving

[SOLVED] Need help To Install Viper4android In Samsung galaxy A800I

Hello everybody,
I really need help to install viper4android in samsung galaxy A800I.
I`ve tried several time with several tricks. but can`t yet. It always asks for installing driver.
here are the device profile :
Device = Samsung Galaxy A8 (A800I)
Chipset = Exynos 5433
Rom = Stock 5.1.1 with stock kernel (latest update)
SE for Android Status = enforcing
Rooted = yes (with Supersu).
Busybox = yes (stericson) with run parts.
Init.d support = yes and working (With Test.Log file in /data folder)
Permissive.zip = Installed
Viper supolicy.zip = installed
Selinuxmode changer = tried,but didn`t work
Viper fix 1.1 by Dr.ketan = Installed
Samsung Knox = Unistalled (Through TB)
Xposed = Working flawlessly
root Explorer = Installed
Sd-fix = Installed
Terminal Emulator = Installed (applied all commands for making setenforce = 0)
Music Player Used = google Music Player, gonemad music player, Poweramp etc
** Adapt sound and Sound alive apps are disabled (Through TB)
** I`ve tried other Viper audio (Moded) from this forum, but didn`t work.
These are the things I do for installing viper4android successfully.
But can`t yet.
I`m a viper fan and I used it from my first smart device.
Would anybody pls help me to fix this viper issue ? What did i miss ?
BTW, I think Viper is not working (installing the driver) only because of Selinux mode is "enforcing". And I`ve tried my best to make it permissive (for last 2-3 days). But can`t. Can anybody pls make a kernel patch which makes the it "permissive". I want stock kernel (maybe patched or modified, but no custom kernel), as perticular this build gives me excellent battery life and no heating or any other issues.
So, it would great if anybody help me to fix this issue.
Regards
Micheal86.

Its actually very difficult to install V4A with SELinux enforcing, despite several claims of it working with enforcing.
Also know tht there's no fixed method to install V4A. One has to keep trying different methods
These are the things u cld try ("REMEMBER TO TAKE A BACK UP OF YOUR ROM BEFORE TRYING THIS"):-
Here it goes:-
1) Search the post of member AndrasLOHF on viper4android.
U'll find the zips on the 236th page of this post.
2) Another post tells u to flash the following two zips :-
"Viper4A-_Soundfix-LibFiles_-CWM.zip" & "Viper4A-_Build.Prop-Tweaks_-CWM.zip", alongwith flashing V4A zip.
3) U cld also try the post , Viper4Android Working on S6 Edge.
Hopefully, one of these might work.
Best of Luck :good:
P.S - I'm using A7 & not A8 but the above posts are not meant to work on one particular model, so u can certainly try.

Thanks mate for your reply.
i`ll try these things and give feedback.
But one thing I want to share with you that I was trying to install viper4android for last 3 - 4 days. but can`t. I`ve searched and googled to fix this issue. And interestingly I`ve found that the main thing behind this is Samsung Knox. Knox makes it impossible to do anything beyond security. It doesn`t allow to make Selinuxmode to permissive and most probably for that reason we can`t install viper and any other mods. I`m trying to remove/uninstall knox with several ways and tricks, but can`t do yet.
It is possible if we can make a patch or modify the stock kernel. But I can`t do this because I don`t know how to do this .
BTW, do you have any idea ?
Thank you once again.

I'm very sorry but I'm not a dev, Just a fan of V4A.
I can certainly tell u tht knox can be removed, after rooting, using "uninstall system apps" app without any effect on the installation of V4A.
I've successfully installed V4A on my S4 (korea model) & now on A7(Indian model), by removing knox just from this app. So Knox should not be a worry.
There is a custom kernel compiled by @ashyx. Its a selinux permissive, rooted kernel.
the link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/sam.../kernel-permissive-ll-5-11-kernel-sm-t3312817.
Credit goes to Ashyx for the compilation.
All the best!!!

Thanks mate.
you`re really very helpful.
I too really love viper very much.
I`ll try your procedures to install Viper, and give you the feedback.
Thanks for the link. I want stock (modified, only set to permissive and nothing else, because this build is really excellent for battery life) kernel.
BTW, need some more information.
1. Does viper (driver status) shows "Processing - Yes" (in your both devices) ? Because it`s very important for sound effects.That`s why I`m asking.
2. Which apps you`ve uninstalled for removing knox from your devices ?
3. Which version of viper4android are you using ?
BTW, What is the actual name of this app ? Is it System app remover ? Because I do`nt find the app you recommended.

Development for A-series models have just started (as u can see from the forum ), so you might not find stock kernel with selinux permissive for the time being.
But you can always try that custom kernel and see if it helps your purpose
I've attached a screenshot of V4A installed in A7(2016) with processing "Yes".
I'm using the latest version of V4A(2.4.0.1).
Now, regarding the app, the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en
I've used it to remove Knox and have not faced any problems in V4A installation because of Knox.
If u want further cleaning, you can use "root explorer" or "es file explorer" to delete knox completely.
If you still are unable to install V4A, just share your installation steps.
I'll try to help
If you are an audiophile and fan of V4A just like me, you will have to keep trying the different methods of installation

Thank you so much.
I`ve (we) done it.
Viper4android is working in A8. Thanks mate for giving me the links and ideas. It`s also working with "processing = yes".
Yes, I`m too an audiophile an a fan of viper like you. that`s why I was trying it for last 6 - 7 days.
I`m using Viper 2.3.4.0 ( With the help of the S6 Edge thread).
sorry file attaching with XDA feature doesn`t work with my browser for some days. that`s why I can`t upload any screenshots.
Ok. I`ve got the app.
Actually I wanted to know that which system files (names of the files) you`ve removed to remove knox from your device ? I`ve tried to remove all the knox related files through root explorer, but it didn`t work (got bootloop). That`s why I`m asking ?
BTW, I agree with you. The A series (specially A8) has nearly no development. A8 is a 2015`s phone , but there is not a single custom rom, no mods, no stock modified kernel. I don`t know why no Devs are intersesting about this series ? I`m not a dev and a very ordinary member of XDA and love android. I`ve tried to make a custom(stock) rom and I`ve made it (Pre-rooted, Deloated, Zipaligned, with build prop and CSC tweaks) . But it doesn`t boot. It always stucks with the samsung Logo with non secure kernel message with red color. I think its all about the kernel (boot img). I`ve searched Xda and googled for help. I`ve tried my best .But got no fruitful result yet.
Anyway thank you once again.

glad I could help
Using the uninstaller app, just scroll down the "system apps" list & you can uninstall all the knox icons that you see. There are many files without any icon. Read them and you will find few files related to knox. Uninstall those files too.
Now, You should not find knox-related problems :good:

Xposed for stock rom June update??

Is Xposed available for the june security update ...if it's there please provide the link or the instructions ..thanks in advance
If you really want to, you could give the xposed Nougat flashable a try: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221 or https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-v87-unofficial-yes-im-t3639192
You'd want SDK 24 arm, and of course you'd have to running TWRP (and magisk if you wish).
However, this unofficial variant of xposed appears to be hit and miss for many users on Nougat (presumably because it's supposed to be directly implemented into the ROM, rather than flashed on top), so your experience may vary. Some modules appear to function, others not so much (https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-list-modules-nougat-xposed-t3639615 for a list)
Again, if you really wish to try this, back up your device in TWRP first before attempting this, and if it's not stable, then you may wish to wait for rovo89's official xposed.

No problem - again, be aware that the xposed builds I linked are still experimental (and though based on rovo89's work, are unofficial builds), some things may work, others may not, and in a number of cases I noted that bootloops have occurred. That could either be due to the implementation of xposed or the modules not formally updated to work with Nougat.
Best thing to do is to back up your device in TWRP before you flash this xposed if you still choose to flash, so you can revert should your system be unstable. Also, bear in mind that having xposed on your device may stop SafetyNet from working, so you may lose access to certain apps (e.g. Snapchat, Pokemon Go, various banking apps) unless xposed is disabled or removed.

Anyone confirm this Magisk rooting method will still pass safetynet on Android 7.0

Hello
I've read around this a lot here and elsewhere and I can't seem to get a definitive answer as to the best solution to the root I'd like. I would like to use TiBu and play PokemonGO (and perhaps use the Barclays UK banking app). It looked like Magisk was the way to do this with Nougat 7.0. This video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjwSjiE76o8
Which is also shown here in a series of screenshots:
http://galaxys7root.com/galaxy-s7-s...s7-or-s7-edge-on-android-7-0-nougat-w-magisk/
...would seem to do what I want. But I expect I would use updated versions of Magisk etc.
I can see threads on here that would indicate that Magisk is now not able to help you pass safetynet with a rooted phone but I think that may be for updated versions of Android and 7.0 may still be OK.
Can anyone confirm that the rooting method shown here is sensible. Or, failing that, the best way to achieve what I want with a currently stock G930FD running 7.0?
Thanks
Maqgisk does by pass safetynet.
Magisk has it own root now built in.
the links you have provided user older versions of magisk without dated installation methods.
Install twrp on your phone then magisk v.14. you do not need any other files.

Thanks! That's the kind of definitive answer I was looking for.
Btw, which Android version are you on? I have an update available that I can download but not sure I should. As I said, I'm on 7.0 so not sure what I'd end up on if I updated.
As I like TouchWiz but would like to reduce the bloat, I am tempted by the Superman ROM, which makes the update point moot.

I am on a custom s8 7.0 rom called galaxy project.

need a resseruction remix or lineage os rom without magisk and root preloaded.

hello everyone.
i have tried a few custom roms on my samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530H and discovered the rom that works best with it for me is this version of resurrection remix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/gr...om-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-3-galaxy-t3596669.
the problem is its preloaded with magisk management. even after uninstalling magisk through twrp, i am not able to run some important indian apps (eg - m-adhaar) because they still detect my phone as rooted. i have already tried unrooting but that didnt work. magisk is not able to hide root from some apps that i need through magisk hide and other methods i have read about on this site either.
can some kind soul please provide me a link of a root-free rom of resurrection remix or regular lineage os? preferably android version 7 and/or 8? thank you in advance.
my phone specs :-
samsung galaxy grand prime
sm-g530h - A.P - XXS2BRLI
CP - XXU2BPB2
MSM - 8916
p.s - i changed the update script in the roms to install from boot without magisk but of course it still installs the magisk management.:cyclops:
also - magisk hide is not working for one particular app- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.gov.uidai.mAadhaarPlus
HI,
These Apps have problem with the custom rom too ( normally) and they are able to recognize the custom rom in both case. It doesn't matter rom is rooted or not.
So You have to hide this thing with Magisk or ... .
Is your magisk passed the safety net test successfully?
If it passed then I can't help you anymore and if not try this one:

actuall yes. thats the last rom i tried. but its not stable on my phone. display keeps turning off and phone becomes laggy too. which is why i have mentioned that i need version 7 or 8 n particular.
as for your mention of these apps having problems with custom roms, i am not sure if thats entirely correct or not because i have tried other roms which are fine with the apps but not stable for my phone in particular. so theres my dilemma.
as for magisk test...yes. it passes but hiding is not working in 1 particular app. also my requirement is non magisk and/or non superuser preinstalled rom if i can find one. maybe you could help me with that? as long as the version is 7 or 8.1? coz 9 and 10 are not running properly on my phone ( lags). i am kind of limited in using internet for a couple of days...so its hard to thoroughly search for one. which is why this thread.t hank you for your reply and help

I tried a few Oreo based custom roms and this is the only stable rom that I found in internet . Which is a really great rom but it doesn't work for you because Rom will be rooted during the installation by Magisk 16.3.
I don't have any informations about 7, If You have Telegram Account , There is a Grand Prime 530 group. May be you can get a better help there about Android 7.

thanks a bunch bro. i have tried this already though. along with magisk, it has some issues like powering off instead of restarting and a little bit of heating - at least on my phone - if i remember right. anyway i will check out the group after creating an account on telegram. only 1.5gb of usage left today on my phone. thanks again. much appreciate it. :angel:

hi bro.
after a lot of frustration, i tried this one again with bitgapps. turns out that the other versions of gapps were making it lag. its running nicely on my phone. it didnt have magisk installed or supersu for that matter. but some apps still showing that 'you are on a rooted device' or' you are using a custom rom' msg.
so i installed magisk again only to be able to surpass detction for the one particular app i needed and it worked ( yippy!). but other apps, for eg - whatsapp etc still detect the device as custom rom or rooted. so i am still looking for a way around it.
also particular rom shows the msg on startup saying -' there is an internal problem with your device. contact your manufacturer etc. am just ignoring the pop up msg for now.
the rom ( which is android version 10 ) is running surprisingly smooth and fast though.
i wish there was a way to get rid of that msg and unroot the device completely ( doing it through superuser pro and magisk unintsallation - with uninstaller zip and through manager didnt work).
so well, there it is.
As do i

I saw it on most Android Pie and Q custom roms which i tried. I think it's something about kernel or Rom. There is a video on YouTube about this issue, He solve it for an Asus phone which didn't work for me.
For the record, did you hide Magisk manager and chose a nick name for it before hide root from other apps with it?
yup. i did.

i did hide magisk and gave it another name and checked all apps to be hidden in the hide list.
this video you mention, is it the one where he sets ro.treble to false from true? if yes, then i downloaded build prop but my ro.treble was already set to false by default. i was really hoping that would work. lol. alas! let me know bro.:good:

Yes
I don't know this is useful for you or not . By the way it's an other stable custom rom . ( Oreo based ) with 2 small bug but on safety test, CTS profile result was false for me.

i did hide magisk and gave it another name and checked all apps to be hidden in the hide list.
this video you mention, is it the one where he sets ro.treble to false from true? if yes, then i downloaded build prop but my ro.treble was already set to false by default. i was really hoping that would work. lol. alas! let me know bro.:good:

I saw it on most Android Pie and Q custom roms which i tried. I think it's something about kernel or Rom. There is a video on YouTube about this issue, He solve it for an Asus phone which didn't work for me.
For the record, did you hide Magisk manager and chose a nick name for it before hide root from other apps with it?

I just realized that my phone model is fortunave3g not fortuna3g . It is a long story that why I made this mistake but since there is no official Twrp for fortunave3g I installed the Pitch Black Recovery for fortunave3g then I flashed a Lineage 17.1 for fortunave3g with it. now everything is fine and I don't see the internal problem's notification any more . Also I should thanks itexpert.120 for helping and his custom recovery.
should i try pitch black ?

ah, i see. i used to get error 7 on the latest twrp even after editng the updater script. so i switched to twrp version 3.2.x. then there were no errors while flashing any roms. do you think changing the twrp version or doing it again through pitch black recovery might solve the issue for me? also, please tell me if pitch black is as good as twrp in backing up and restoring. coz i have had to do that a lot. zeeshan(itexpert.120) told me to just ignore the error. hehe. but i cant do that!:cyclops: let me know bro.

Actually the main problem was with my rom not custom recovery . But I had to install a correct custom recovery for installing the correct custom rom.
Pitch Black has the same features even more. Actually It based on Twrp.
I can't be sure, but if you've seen Error Seven when you using the Twrp 3.4 , then there is a good chance that you've installed a wrong Custom recovery. on the other hand I had camera problem which seems you don't have it.

2 years, now i think i should root & use a custom rom...

Hello there friends
This is my first proper Indian phone, been using it since past 2 year, pure stock just the gcam.
I wish to root it now and use a custom rom.
Can you great guys point me to the latest unlocking and rooting procedure as i am on latest firmware now and not sure if older methods will work or not.
Secondly could you please point me yo a stable, custom rom that is very smooth to operate, battery efficient, without any bugs and can handle all banking apps and stuff.
I am okay if its Android 9 or 10 just a thoroughly stable rom.
Thank you in advance
Hello,
Just did it two days ago, follow this thread (and the linked thread when necessary, like the TWRP one) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...w-to/discussion-unlocking-bootloader-t3786698
Three things to remember for the script to work :
1/ You need to enable USB debugging in developrs options
2/ You need to install the Windows drivers for your phone, that is, when connected through USB, you shouldn't see a yellow exclamation mark in your Windows Device Manager
3/ It doesn't work with Rizen CPU on USB 3.0 port
Once you know that it's pretty straightforward. Oh, one thing that happened to me right after unlocking bootloader is that it asked for password to access Data partition, I had to restart to recovery and wipe Data partition once more.
Don't forget to backup everything before starting, and have fun, this device has a lot of nice ROMs to try
Thanks mate
Can you confirm if b Kong apps re working fine upon unlock and root with the custom roms
That's my biggest concern now
I am ok with unlocking and rooting but bank apps not working owing to rooted device is my next biggest concern.

Followed this method on pie few months back and it works. Follow the instructions and you are good.
I've been using Pixel Experience Plus ROM as my daily driver for the past 3 months and I never look back to any other ROMs!
I'm using Havoc 2.9 Pie, Bootlegger rom is also a nice option, both of these roms provide multiple customizations.
Thanks a lot guys for the replies
Sorry got stuck with some stuff hence could thank you folks and couldnt even visits
If there are anymore newer roms then please do let me know
Thanks again
Just wanted to update
That more tha. 2 years after buying the m1 i have unlocked and installed a custom rom.
I can see encryption thing has come into play now and to root magisk is the drug of choice ?
So i have unlocked the bootloader flashed the twrp wiped all and now using PIXEL EXPERIENCE PLUS ROM but without root as i dont need root atm.
The rom is awesome prior to this i had flashed havoc but this is far better way too smooth utterly battery efficient and no issues whatsoever.
Need a couple of things sorted though
1 how to te remove that persistent search bar at the bottom without changing the launcher
2. How to remove the date and weather widget upto on home screen
Thanks

I don't think you can remove those atm, maybe u can request to the original PE plus developer
Anyway, I'm getting used to those widgets and they both are useful for me :laugh:
