[Q] Will a system wipe delete files in private mode? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Will it? I need to reflash my ROM because I've got a weird fingerprint sensor issue, but there's a few files I'd like to salvage in private mode if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, reflashing the ROM will delete all your data including the ones in private mode.

The only thing I can think to do is just restore your device to it's original factory settings/ROM as it will restore all the system files and hopefully restore your ability to use Bluetooth, then try rooting you device by using the one click root from towelroot.com, which hasn't caused me any problems what so ever.

Do i n just need to do factory reset or flash original rom?
And towleroot did'nt work for me?. Is' nt there a way where all my data does' nt get lost?
I would do both, first do a factory restore then flash the stock ROM and hopefully it will fix the problem. Towleroot worked for me, but I had to access the site and download the. apk file using my phone and to answer you last question when you flash a custom ROM all your data is erased, so you should backup your information before you, flash a ROM, or do a Factory restore it will make things easier.

It fixed it. Thanks:laugh:

how i fixed private mode.

So i kept trying to fix private mode to use. I tried Xsecurestorage module in xposed but wouldn't work with me. I also tried TEKHD's method of the zip but didn't work either. Followers the support link for Xsecurestorage mod and found a method being used on a 910f.
Went to data/system/secure_storage and deleted the folder with personalpage in the name.
Next went to data/system/users and deleted privatemode_edk_1000.
Rebooted my phone and viola it was working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-xshealth-bypass-secure-storage-t2878708/page12 link for reference.
Running stock rom with AEL kernel.
nymikey also suggests that you should clear cache and data the force stop private mode as well.
Haha!!! It worked!!!! Thank you so much for this.
Yea, the /secure_storage is not on the 910t, looked everywhere

Are you on a custom rom? This might only apply to stock roms. I have a 910T and found secure_storage in system.
Oh yes, def not on stock. On Dynamic Kat 4. So unless I'm stock, no private mode. Crap

Did you try to create the directory yourself? Its worth a shot.

I think its more the privatemode_edk_1000 file from what i read deleting that can reset the private mode if it was working before. Again, this might be a stock thing only.
I deleted it, but didn't work. Also creating the directory wouldn't do anything. I cannot recreate the missing files.
I'm not sure about custom roms,but it didn't work on my stock rooted rom either until i went into application manager and cleared cache,data and forced stopped private mode. Not sure if it'll work for you guys but it did for me.

Does this method delete the private contents?
Yes, i just noticed that, but i only had a couple of photos and were deleted. So you might want to remove what you have first. I'm not guaranting it's going to work for you but it did for me.
I would bet on it deleting everything since you have to recreate the instance for it to work right.
It Works!

I'm running 910C rooted stock rom and at first I tried erasing the files and I actually found them and delete them then I rebooted my phone and it was not working... but then I saw the last part where it says you should clear the cache and data so I did the last try and y deleted the data and then force the private mode to stop and then rebooted my phone and now I have my private mode working 100% so if you try this metod plz remember to clear the data and force 2 stop the process and maybe it will work for you!!! Good luck
And thanks guys I really appreciate that you found a way to make this work!!!!!

Worked just fine for me on stock rooted. Thanks for this!
Hi! I'm using a Note 910F (not rooted). After downgrading from Lolliflop to KitKat again, I'm not able to activate the private mode anymore. Could this thread be the solution for my problem? If so, could anybody tell me step by step what to do? Thanks for your help!

[Q] Accidentally Formatted ENTIRE Internal Storage, Help please? :(

Hey guys, I was using TWRP to install a custom rom, but I accidentally wiped EVERYTHING off the internal storage (Format Data) Now it's completely blank, nothing at all on it. My computer doesn't even detect the amount of space on the device, and I can't send any files to it. Did I just permanently destroy this phone? Can it be fixed?
Will TWRP be gone if I reboot the phone? Help please
AT&T VERSION
I did that once on my ls980. I just downloaded a stock tot image and used lgflashtools to go back to stock. Worked like a charm.

Do not reboot your phone, 'cause as you say, you wipe everything, so there is no more Android on it. Plug to your PC and try use ADB command instead of Graphic Explorer. If "adb devices" return your device, then your good to go and push a ROM on your phone. Else, the only way is to go in Download Mode and restore your phone with .kdz or .tot file.
Thanks for the help guys, I found a solution.

1) Was it the OTA that got downloaded automatically?
2) Bootloader unlocked?
3) Are you on custom recovery?
4) Are you rooted?

TWRP Backup not working properly

I used TWRP Backup, to get a backup of my phone. I was on B574 official build. After that, I installed B574 Deodex (a custom rom slightly changed from the official). One big extra that the Deodex gave me, is that with the xposed installed, I could have my call app, operational. This Rom, has some drawbacks, so I decided to return to the official one, using my backup through TWRP. The problem is, that although I had everything wiped (including system and internal storage), my restored rom, has issues similar to the deodex one (including the issues I had originally with the official build). Am I doomed to go for a new fresh install and without the Xposed? Does anyone know why I get a hybrid of both Roms?
Thanks in advance!

What issues? I have this rom.
Harassment filter does not work (whether you try through phone manager or call app) and since I install it, my external storage is not recognized by my pc. I can only see the picture folder.

Hmmm.... I don't have this problem. My harassment filter is working also the pc detects external and internal storage (using MTP).
Unfortunately for me the harassment auto closes and I cannot detect my SD.

If you are talking about online number identification then that feature doesn't work (you need to manually add number either via dialer or in text messages). Can you detect sdcard using hi suite?

No. To give you a hint , I had 2 calls and 2 messages in the harassment and I couldn't see who was it. It doesn't open at all. Can you give me instructions on what did you do, in order to install the rom? Although I am pretty sure, I followed every single instruction .....

Try clearing cache and dalvik cache(via TWRP) and check if it is working or not.
althought, I had tried cleaning them, somehow I got factory reset. At this moment i am getting the backup through huawei backup. We'll see. Thanks in advance! From the moment I got factory reset, the harassment filter works. Let's see after the backup is restored ......

Ok, done it. The problem remains. After having factory reset, it seemed to work (didn't have any problem), but after a while, I got the same issue. The harassment filter gets a forced close. Also while attempting to enter something like "management rights", I have the same response from the system, having a forced close.
