There's an xposed mod that will fix it but it's because your rooted. Try setting secure storage to false in buildprop that might work
didn't work

Hi,
I would like to verify if I can still recover the photos I had hidden on private mode? I am currently rooted with towelroot. stock firmware and kernel.
I installed Xposed and Greenify modules and just edited the BuildProp : secure.storage.support : to false.
Any solutions on this? How can I get back to the bare stock rom with towelroot working and just without Xposed installed.?
Thanks!

What do you mean by disabling secure storage? I only know how to set the value to false. Is that the same?

The lesson here is that most of us do not backup our data. So remember to backup your photos next time. As to recovering them, you would need to re-enable private mode to do so. And you didn't give us the key piece of information we need to know if that is possible to do.
Is your Knox flag tripped? If it is still 0x0, then you can re-enable private mode by reverting your change to the secure.storage.support property and uninstall or disable xposed. Good luck.
.
simply just uninstall xposed and reboot your device.. then you will be able to turn on private mode again... currently xposed is not compatible with private mode... we are waiting for fix
Found a fix I uninstalled Xposed and disabled wanam turned ro.secure.storage to false and I was able to enter private mode again. Knox is 0x0

You don't need to do that, you can use my new module XSecureStorage, it supports SHealth and Private mode.
I have a rooted galaxy s5 running dalvik runtime and private mode will not enable. I have knox disabled and that might be part of the problem. Is there any way to re enable Knox to to try and fox it that way? Or is there any way to pull my pictures from private mode without having to enable it? Please help!
Private mode working fine in my rooted S5 G900H.
Did you installed xposed? That crashes the private mode..

Nope. It doesn't sound like you read much before plunging in. You should have backed up your pictures beforehand. You will not be able to access your pictures without reenabling private mode. Presuming that you haven't incremented your Knox counter, revert your changes to enable Knox and backup your pictures. Then you can move forward from there.

& how do you recommend reverting these changes? sorry i'm a newbie to this and i appreciate your help immensely!

Ideally, you'd revert changes by restoring a backup of your working system that you made prior to running into problems. Presumably you don't have a backup though or you'd already have solved the problem (hence the value of backups).
If I was you, I'd first do a search to see if anyone has identified where the Knox container encryption keys are stored and back those up if at all possible as those keys will be essential in regaining access to your private mode photos or files.
Then make a list of what you have modified or what you have changed on your phone. And reverse each step until you get back to where your private mode was enabled. If you need help on any specific step, do a forum search first to see if there is an existing thread with details on how to revert a specific item.
If not, then post what you are trying to do and what keywords, etc you tried to find the answer with. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here that will try to help you. But they can't see your phone and can't help you a lot without details, so remember to describe in detail what you've done or attempted, the results, any error messages and so forth.

I posed a new update of my module XSecureStorage it supports now SHealth and Private mode.

SM-G900F Rooted, how to enable Private Mode?
Since i have rooted my SM-G900F using CF Auto Root, i haven't been able to enable Private Mode. Using Google didn't help at all, and flashing the zip file found here did nothing. Is there any method to be able to enable Private Mode WITHOUT unrooting or installing Xposed Installer (We all know it is too buggy on Lollipop)
Works fine with my rooted G900F
How did you not trip the KNOX counter then?!?
I did trip KNOX, ages ago, and private mode never stopped working
Even froze all the KNOX apps and everything still works fine
Could you maybe send me a copy of your PersonalPageService.apk?
Maybe that will fix my problem
Sadly my note 4 started to burn so I had to by this j5 to have a phone. One thing I really missing is the private mode where you can hide images and file, only visible when you write a code or fingerprint. When Google I can not confirm if my j5 have this mode or not. No where in the settings or quick setting. Any on know how to solve this?
M6.0.1
apparently, in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/note-ux-ported-apps-project-grace-n7-t3399076/page174 someone make a .zip of the private mode of the note 7, u need twrp to flash it and i'm not secure if works or not..
my samsung j5 phone doesnt have private mode
if you didn't root you can use My KNOX
It offers private apps and files
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.enterprise.knox.express
I heard that if you have tripped your knox, you can't use secure folder. But as you can see you have to root in order to flash it.. So you see where this is going
Hello
This afternoon, I'm trying to activate the Private Mode for my S7 Edge. At first, it does not let me enable it after I turn it off.
Then I performed a factory reset. Right now, the phone does let me turn the private mode on and off, but there is no option for me to transfer video or pictures into private mode. I press and hold the file, but in the More Option, there is not anything which let me move the file into private mode.
Is there any solution for this? Please help
Have you rooted your phone? Rooting triggers knox which makes it useless and to my knowledge, private mode uses knox. I kniw for certain secret mode in browser does use knox. Once knox is triggered then these features become unavailable. The reason for this is because root drastically weakens knox security so samsung purposefully kill knox on root. Thats the risk you have to take if you root. If you havent rooted then i have no idea what is going on but this is my first thoughts based on what you have said

Now im really confused as I know for certain a tripped knox kills secret mode on the browser. I just assumed private mode would suffer the same fate....

Private mode is a Knox container. Knox CANNOT be tripped to use Knox containers.

well my knox is tripped
Yes, it "turns on" but cannot be used.
Edit: your didn't say that, OP did, my bad.

the op probably is rooted and just did not put that information in their. i had my phone rooted and was testing private mode and it did not work but then i went back to all stock phone. i had private mode back.
ecg803, can you actually put anything in to private though? Switching it on or off doesnt mean its usable. For example, go to gallery, select an item, click more in top right, and is the 'move to private' option available? I agree with toastido that although you can switch it on and off, the actual ability to put anything in there should be, ahem, toast
yes i can.

Im puzzled. You are the only person i have come across to have it working after tripping knox. Dont suppose you have any numbers for the UK national lottery tomorrow?
I had same problem with S5 which is unrooted but Twrp was installed which triggers Knox counter. Now Marshmallow 6.0.1 is not letting Samsung Browser to open private tab unlike on my S4 which is rooted and has 5.0.1 lollipop. It is a Marshmallow + Samsung scandal.
