Guys,
Got just my N10. My work email requires security settings, which is fine, except for the Encryption part. Encryption seems to be permanent. When I had it on my S3, even a factory reset wouldn't remove encryption, which wouldn't allow flashing ROMs from SD.
Does anyone have a workaround for this? Essentially not requiring Encryption.
Thanks
Is there another method of accessing your work e-mail that doesn't require EAS?

A quick google brings up this thread. Should work in 4.2.
Please report your findings.

Thanks. I do use that on my S3. However, that's for S3, and I am just not sure if it would break anything if tried on the N10. Maybe I'll be the scapegoat, and give it a try.
Edit: It worked! Thanks.
Do a nandroid backup beforehand and you should have no problems.
I did read somewhere that this had been tested and works on 4.2.

Greetings,
Yesterday I decided to root my Note 3 (sm-n900) mainly to remove samsung's bloatware and install afwall.
Just after I rooted my phone with Odin + "CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900" and went for the first reboot, I noticed that my phone wouldn't boot anymore. After some hair pulling, I decided to wipe the device and after that it booted fine.
Finally I managed to remove %[email protected]! Flipboard and My magazine (a lot of crashes with sms and regular email, but worth removing!). Total happiness and a faster phone!
When I tried to enable encryption on the device, the phone just crashed again (with the same droid logo that appeared on the boot before the wipe). I came here and found some other users talking about rooting + encryption with sm-n900 saying that it's not working. (some reported that kingo method would work, but I really don't feel comfortable with king).
Now I'm downloading the stock rom, and planning to flash the note3 back to original since I have the recipe for T virus on my phone and couldn't allow it to fall on wrong hands :laugh:
Is this a bug on cf-auto-root or encryption doesn't work with rooting at all? If it's a bug, any ideas of when a fix should be around?
Thanks!
Hi eduardogsilva,
I don't know your device, but I encountered a problem activating encryption on a rooted SM-P900. I'm not sure, but I think it's a general problem with Samsung KitKat devices. I described, how I got it solved for my device here. If you still have issues, please have a look at my thread and let me know, if it works for you...
Cheers!

Hello radicalisto, following the guide that bruzzy wrote, I managed to activate the encryption on a rooted note3.
So I guess that it should be fine now... Or is there any other issues besides activating encryption?
thanks

It'll work, just not 100% - don't be surprised if one day it freaks out on you and doesn't let you unlock it. Happens sometimes, Although, it may be that it'll stay fine for you (luck of the draw) - with root being an exploit, the system is designed to look out for changes and freak out if it spots them.

Well, the important information that I have on my mobile is in sync, the only bad thing would be reinstalling and reconfiguring everything again, so not a big problem in loosing my phone data.
I would love to use a custom rom and completely say goodbye to touchwiz and to the huge bloatware that comes with my phone, but unfortunately, CM for note3 exynos is not available yet.
thanks
Hi,
I have rooted my S5 and want to enable the encryption.
But when I start the encryption it reboots after some seconds without encrypting.
I have unrooted the device and the encryption works well. Afterwards I have rooted again and then the deivice does not boot, so I had to reset.
Is there a way to encrypt a rooted device?

Are you also running custom recovery and what rom?
I think the phone might have to have all the knox files for the encryption to work properly.

I have only done the CF root, nothing else, no custom recovery.
Would be interesting if someone has a rooted S5 where device encryption works.

That's odd. It must be related to root then.
I don't have any experience with encryption and I'm fairly new to Knox as well so I may not be much help. A brief search didn't yield any promising results for having both encryption AND root, sorry.

Yes I have searched quite a lot but I could not find any info. Maybe people do not use encryption that much.

Nice details on your your steps. This will not work for me as I have the VZW edition and not the developer edition. But I hope this works out for others that can use a custom recovery.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is with the VZW edition different? (google says: VZW = Verizon Wireless)
I am also rooted and cannot encrypt my device. Has any progress been made on finding a way to do it? I do not want to unroot and stay unrooted just so I can encrypt my device... On the other hand I cannot receive email so no encryption is also a no go ...
..
This is what fixed this issue for me in case any of you guys were still looking for the solution

I have a device I recently bought from the internet. It has a device protection on it. The seller says he cannot remember such information for me to gain access. So I am pretty much stuck.
How would I go about bypassing this?
Thank you in advance.

This is one method of getting around the Google FRP Lock:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6RcS8ulGw
He basically uses a loophole on the first time setup WiFi page to launch Google Assist - bypassing the setup process, download/sideloads some apps and adds a Google Account.
You don't have to have the apps on a separate sd card; you can download them from apk-mirror using the Stock Browser, then go back and install them through My Files.
When rebooting the phone - it forgets about the previous owners Google Account that was on the phone.
It's quite funny really - not very good security.
I ran into this problem when I factory reset a G903F on the latest BTU firmware using the old HOME+VOLUP+POWER combo.
Flashing the latest firmware using ODIN with re-partition and erase NAND didn't even remove it.
Coming from an older S2 - I didn't realise that setting a lock screen pin activated other security mechanisms.
It basically thought I'd nicked it.
I should've factory reset it through the Settings > Backup & Restore menus - have to remember that!
Just wanted to ensure everyone here knows that root was achieved for Snapdragon processors. I had nothing to do with this except to root my Note 8 based on the below link.
See thread below for instructions.

0% without terrible hacks that require the phone be unusable. It's built into the combo/eng bootloader that makes root possible

They were able to overcome this with the S7, and Keep samsung pay working so I am hopeful they will find a way for the note8.
It might take awhile but it will come. Other than 1 or 2 mods i feel no need to root. But I would like to have the dual speaker mod.
Peace
This setup runs very smooth and fast. System root, no lag. Very resource friendly.
how do you like root so far? I just put the unlocked version would it be worth going to the rooted version?
Rooted then reverted back to stock but now I can't get any of the stock Verizon apps back ie visual voicemail app. Does anybody know how to get these back? I wanna be able to update to Oreo later on without any issues.

I don't have one, I want one though. If all else fails, after rooting I was able to the ADB trick, but I still have to turn off mobile data, turn on hotspot, turn mobile data back on.
I really want to be able to click the hostpot button and have it just turn on.

Thanks for your reply.
I heard about doing that but didn't know how. I do know that I have the Verizon boot up screen and the 4G LTE logo for the data. It looks like I got HD voice but not for video. I can't even get WiFi calling to activate too.
If you could help me that would be great otherwise I might have to do a warranty replacement which is a last resort that I don't want to do in the first place.

Is this under the option tab or UMS button? Do I need another file? Seems like I'm missing something. I'm going to do a search here in the mean time. Btw it seems like I have to use Comsy Odin 3.12 to flash my files without errors.
Thanks for all of your help so far.
Ok looks like I finally was able to get all my Verizon apps back on it. I had to download the N950U firmware which had the USERDATA file that I needed to flash. I'm not sure why there is even a N950U1 firmware to begin with.
I have the August security patch and is still have the U1 baseband. WiFi calling is working but I didn't activate my visual voicemail yet but the app is there though. I didn't activate video calling yet because I would need to setup basic voicemail service first.
Thanks again for all of the help guys.

I've searched and someone said last year it was an issue. I've tried two different rooted roms (One 9.0 and one 8.1) and neither will allow ok google to work. I'd just root stock but I need tasker wifi tether automation which doesn't seem to work on the rooted stock roms for some reason. Neither does secure settings.
