Tutorial: Putting S-Health back onto the S5

Prerequisites
An S5 that is rooted, and no longer has S-Health installed. In my case, I wanted to turn a "Custom" status S5 into an "Official" status one instead.
A file explorer (ES is used here).
The stock SHealth3.apk, HealthService.apk, and HealthService.odex backed up.
If you don't have them, I made a copy.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103146562/SHealth.zip
Make sure you have no installed S Health or HealthService installed on your phone.
Copy SHealth3.apk, HealthService.apk, and HealthService.odex from your phone's storage to /data/app .
Set each file's permission's individually to rw-r--r-- . (Hit the Back key then choose Refresh to verify the app icons are now visible).
Reboot your phone... check its status, which should list as Official.

As an added bonus, once you manually upgrade S Health and HealthService, you can choose to Restore any previous backups... I never allow S Health to backup prior to restoring (because there's only lousy data to back up).

Did you mean, our Device's status will became Official from Custom?
Or you're just talking about S-Health app?

Does it really works ? somebody tried ?

At the time, I thought it would work. Every time I've tried for real, though, I've needed to flash from Kies or something dumb to return my system status back to normal.

you say that on a status custom, just do what you did (add Health) and your status become official ? or you made update via kies ?

I actually had to completely wipe and reflash via Kies on my desktop to get an Official ROM again. I used to think Health could be shuffled back to system to fix that problem, but I think I was mistaken. The system status showed as Official for a while, but then it switched irrevocably to Custom.

A way to unlock hardbricked Meizu Pro 5 ?

Hi,
I've hard bricked my Pro 5. No recovery access, no boot to rom, locked bootloader. After many search i see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/how-to/meizu-customer-service-flash-tools-save-t3447678, but this is bull-****.
I test many manipulations to get something on my phone other than "Bootloader, Locked".
So i dicovered this : Press and holp Vol + and Vol - and press one time power button. We get this :

Hey there. Got the same problem. Tried everything. Nothing happens. Have you got your problem solved yet?

The same problem

Only way to solve this is taking the phone to technical service. Done it myself. Be careful tought, they will try to make you change the entire mother board (280€), but if you insist they will "find a way" to install the correct software in your phone and leave it as if it was new

it is possible to recovery via dongle ... but sn and imei can be lost

Try this thread.

Try this thread; it worked perfectly for me.

SM-A510F : Forgotten lock pattern

Hey guys,
I'm posting here as a last resort before a factory reset.
By the way, let me first say that I'm sorry to post this here, as I know it's SO stupid, what's happening.
I had the same lock pattern for 2 years now, never had a problem.
Last week, it just fell out my mind completely. I've been trying for 4 days straight to remember it.
It's quite a complicated one, with the pattern tracing deactivated so I can't remember the shape and my thumb tried with its motor memory but to no avail :x
The thing is, I extensively use the notepad stock app (Samsung Notes ? Android Notes ?) and I have a **** TON of info I REALLY don't want to lose. And it's not on the SD card, ofc.
I don't care much about the rest, to be honest.
Fun fact, I only synced contacts via the android sync function.
So how can I either remove the lock pattern or access my phone files with an explorer on my computer (I guess I can find a memory file for the notepad somewhere), knowing that :
- Not rooted
- USB debugging not activated
- Not registered with Samsung account
- Android version is the latest available in France for an SM-A510F as I do all updates
I can provide as much as I can to prove my ownership of the phone if needed.
Thank you for reading and maybe for helping.
You have absolutely every right to laugh to my (dumb) face.
EDIT :
Just tried something else. Booted in recovery to try an ADB command.
Since Windows didn't recognize the phone in recovery mode, I selected the option "Load package with ADB" or something like that.
Now the phone was listed in devices on ADB and I tried this : adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key
Result : error.
Great.
So since the phone was unresponsive to any button, I waited and there was a timeout on the package load.
BUT NOW...
I have a blue screen that says "Error!" and it's completely unresponsive.
GREAT.
I'm off to work, read you soon.
XOXO

Magisk Manager beyond version 18 won't run on SM-G950F with stock OREO ROM

Geniuses,
I've been trying to get Magisk Manager 23 running on my S8 and can't seem to figure out what's going wrong. I've installed the Oreo (8.0) stock ROMS with Odin and successfully rooted the phone using Magisk both with and without TWRP. Root works and even SafetyNet checks pass, but the Manager will not come up, it just stays stuck at the Home screen as if I have yet to install it. I should mention, any version of Magisk prior to 19 seems to work fine, but I need some of the plug-in features from 21+

I'm an idiot! =)

What happened? How did you resolve it?
There is no worse thing on the internet than people posting, "oops fixed it" without them telling how they did it!
For prosperity

Bottom line is it's working fine. topjohnwu's installation instructions are not clear if you haven't been keeping up with each release, but this is how it works now...see the little floating menu of icons on the bottom of the third screen I posted...thats how you get to everything I thought was missing.
