S4 no icmp ping - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i had no problem with s2 and s3 but with s4 i have this problem.
Any ping app say:
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I must mention that i had rooted the device (i thought this was the problem but no).
Do you have any ideea how to fix this ?

What firmware are you using? ping works fine in on my S4 running I9505XXUBMGA stock firmware.

Hi folks,
Did you ever solve this? I'm experiencing the same issue after last OTA update. After rooting the problem remains.
Im'm running 4.2.2 stock MH8.
Can anyone shad a light over this? I've been searching everywhere and found nothing solid.
thanks

could this by any chance have something to do with this Knox thing?

I also have this problem now, but I'm sure I did NOT have it about month ago.
To be more precise, ping apps on S4 (that I tried) are not returning verbose errors, but they all result in ping timeouts if I ping from S4 to anything, including S4 local IP address.
On the other hand, I can ping from PCs in local network to phone, I can access internet from phone, I can access local LAN services (SMB sharing, video streams, RDP...) from phone. Only thing I can NOT do is use any app on phone to ping from phone to anything. It is not like S4 is blocking ICMP (since ping from PC to S4 works), it is more like S4 is preventing ping API to work correctly.
While my phone is not rooted, it was not rooted month ago, and back then it was able to ping. Maybe it is some of recent Samsung patches received OTA?
I'm on I9505XXUDMH6 currently (3.4.0-1220396), international S4 with Snapdragon 600.

hi gemnenad, that's odd not returning any open socket error. I rooted my s4 convinced that it would overcome the problem by changing those command permissions but nothing did it. only if I open su on terminal i'm able to ping, tracert, etc.
Every other app that was fine stopped working after last update.
I've not decided what to do next. Maybe unroot and wait for 4.3 hoping this will be solved or flash a custom rom.

Hi all same issue on Galaxy S 3 after upgrading to Android 4.3!
I'm running Stock ROM Galaxy S3 version I9300XXUGMJ9_I9300VFGGMJ5_I9300BUUGMJ3 vodafone ireland
Jelly Bean 4.3 rooted using Chainfire AutoRoot!
Anyone as same issue?

Busybox not installed/busted ? If it's already installed, try updating or uninstall/reboot/reinstall/reboot. If it's not installed, install it from GP (plenty of options free/paid to choose from)

Thank you very much MistahBungle, using Busy Box and opening terminal, ping works fine.
So I think problem with ICMP from normal apps is related to SU permission. Developers of network tool will need to modify their Apps to enable SU request!
Did you confirm that?
Thank you again.
Regards
Alessandro

Alessandro,
Don't know if there is/isn't an issue with those apps, as I don't use them & I'm someone who uses terminal for these things (having used Linux for a long time). You might be onto something though when you say the issues are probably caused by the apps not calling root properly.
You're welcome, happy to help

I'm having same issue.
Could it be Samsung bug?
Regards

Have you done the Busybox thing on the previous page I suggested which fixed Alessandro's problem (at least from a terminal window) ? I don't think there is a fix for those dedicated apps which have ping as one of their features short of having the devs of those apps have a look at the problem as that poster suggested.

Same issue here using 4.3.
Could this be a Samsung bug?
Regards

It works from Busybox (Busybox ping <IP>) but will not work from any application I use.
Wierd.

Yeah it is, and I think Alessandro was on to something. Contact the developer of the app in question.

I have the same problem with Android 4.3 in my S3

Same issue on my Note2 N7100 running stock Android 4.3.

I think this is something Samsung is purposely blocking. If you su it works right.
This is also not how a stock Android rom behaves, so Samsung changed this on purpose. I ran I to it tonight on my Note 10.1 2014.
The only work around I know of is to manually type out a ping command after su'ing. No apps seem to work.

Please check my software...

[Q] Screen Mirroring Problem With rooted devices...

Hi,
I am using Samsung GALAXY S4 (I9500) and having samsung player which supports screen mirroring.
when i flash STOCK (official rom) it works properly(screen mirroring) but when ever i root my device or use any custom rom like OMEGA 11 it just shows me errors when it connected to player then automatically disconnects and says like "screen mirroring disabled" or " process cant be proceed some hardware issue"
i dont know why this problem is coming... is there any way to over come the problem
even i re-flash the kernal (stock ) but it still says hardware issue or disables the screen mirroring.
even i tried it on 2-3 samsung 3d led's which has in built screen mirroring option...
it only works when my s4 is on official rom ( WITHOUT ROOTED)
i m using "INS-I9500XWUBMG5-20130726135849" rom

Same issue on Note 3
Newbie rooter here:
I am having the exact same issue on my Note 3 (N900) just rooted without custom ROM.
I have tried unrooting with Super SU and root checker shows no proper root access however the device status is still showing custom.
Really dissapointed that its not working now with my Samsung all share cast dongle.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated.
I am on WanamLite, with Perseus, screen mirroring works perfectly fine with my television.

DjeMBey has a working method. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190
I flashed the provided OFFICIAL STATUS MOD file via Odin & then used Wanam Xposed to 'fake system status'. This changed my Binary status to official & screen mirroring is now working on my rooted S4 (I9500) on 4.4.2 (19500XXUFNA6). Try it & let us know if it works for you ?

[Q] rooting and device encryption sm-n900

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

[Q] I can't install apps outside of the Play Store

Hello everyone,
I finally rooted my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 and I'm really enjoying the benefits of a rooted phone.
So far so good. I have just one Problem: I seem to not be able to install .apk files I downloaded from the internet even tough I allowed the installation of apps from sources other than the Play Store in the settings menu. You can see it here.
I didn't change a thing after rooting and I had no problems before the root. I also rebooted a couple of times already.
To root my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 I used the Auto-Root method from Chainfire (awesome guy! :good: ) that can be found here. My Adroid version ist 4.4.2.
I am really thankful for all your help. I appreciate it!
Sincerely Nero
Didn't do anything but it seems to be working again.

Netflix issue 0013 after root.

Hello XDA-developers,
After I rooted my S6 Edge+ G928F, I cant watch Netflix anymore.
I know that its because of root and everybody says delete Liboemcrypto.so file in system map but I dont have that file so what can I do?
Greetz,
Mirakuru!
What rom are you on?
What root method did you use?
I ask because I have not had problems with Netflix after rooting.
Are you using a VPN to get Netflix from another country? Cos Netflix has stopped VPN's from many providers.

Hmm have you tried clearing the cache?
I know there were problems on older devices with Netflix and it needed a fix to be flashed in recovery.
What recovery are you using? Stock/TWRP/philz?

It looks like it's actually a common problem. I found this for you
https://m.reddit.com/r/samsunggalaxys6/comments/3nyykh/netflix_not_working_on_rooted_s6/
Someone there had the same problem on the s6 edge plus and changed the phone "ro.product.model" to 925K and got it working. Give that a try. Instructions are in the forum.

It's not mallware it has something to do with KNOX i had this on many phones in the past that where on android kitkat or lower.
Just go to the SuperSU app and check the "Trust system user" checkbox and it will stop giving you these dialogs.
I just got this today on my note pro 12.2 5.0.2 which is supposed to have Knox completely removed
I don't think I'll be checking that box til this thing is sorted out lol it's staying denied for now.

sm-t237p running stock rooted 5.1.1
just had this strange request myself ..... Feb 12th 2017 @ 6:45am PST... idgaf if its a legit app or not, im not granting full on access to ANYTHING like that, not by choice anyhow....
Just had this happen, but on my HTC One m7vzw 4.4, rooted, so I don't think this is a Samsung specific issue. I'll update more when I dig up some info.
Is there a solution to this that I'm not seeing?
I don't think it's a virus, in fact I'm having problems allowing it access. It is the only app that I can't click on anything on the screen when it pops up. I have a samsung galaxy s5, with xposed mod and wanam xposed mod. I clicked the system mod for holding back button to kill current app. When I try to kill app it asks for "system_server" but I'm unable to accept it for some reason. I'm not afraid of it being a virus, but I'd like to know how I could add to the super SU if I can't click allow and it's not on the programs list I can give access to. I see it in the log it said I needed pro version but that was a lie, because it still won't work. Any one have better luck with this problem? I'm running a bare bones minimal rom that I added back some samsung things to.
