I am on 4.2.2 and my security settings no longer works on my unlocked and rooted Nexus 4. It crashes each time I try to access.
It may have started after I installed my Gotcha Facetrap app. I can access part of the security tab (passwords only) through the facetrap app but can not get to the rest of the security items.
I have tried to uninstall the app and reboot but to no avail.
All I really want to do is enable the install from unknown locations.
Anybody have some ideas how to fix? Maybe through adb? I hate to wipe and reinstall everything.
Looking forward to suggestions and ideas.
Update
I found that compared to my Nexus 7, which is working fine, the Nexus 4 has all the Device Administration area greyed out when I access it through the Gotcha app. Any idea how to get Device Administration rights back?

I dont know how to bring the Security settings back except flash a rom :|
Just wait a little more and someone may help you.
But if you have to flash a ROM and dont want to reinstall everything, why dont you try Titanium backup? Then copy your apps' data to your computer (such as games because gaames' data is heavy).

Dummy me, I found it right here on XDA. Worked perfect.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150392
I switched recently from the Note 1 to the N3 (9005, unbranded). Main reason: I want to use the Multimedia Docking Station and a hard drive to get a portable media player and laptop replacement. (The Note 1 could not use HDMI and USB host at the same time).
In order to use my existing NTFS formatted drives I wanted to install the Paragon NTFS&HFS+ app, which needs root access. Though the Vega rooting procedure will make it quite likely to root the N9005 without setting Knox to 0x1 as well, I did not know about that and used Chainfires CF-Auto-Root yesterday to root my device. (So now I got the Knox flag set to 0x1, but that is not the issue).
Having root, I could install the Paragon driver, and they detect a NTFS drive, but it cannot be mounted: I get like many other people here the message
"prevention information: An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device"
(well, in German Language...)
Since I thought that Knox or so still might be active, I flashed then the rom "SM-N9005XXUBMJ1-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-KNOX-FREE" in order to get rid of any Knox issues.
But connecting a NTFS drive, I got a similar message. Also NTFSmount as an alternative was stopped. One difference was, that the message did not pop up in its own window anymore. The service was just stopped. And Paragon said: Error code 1 Permission denied.
My next try was to install LBE security master which I used as an ad blocker on the older Note 1. But I ran into a kind of boot loop issue: After doing an ad scan or after rebooting the device just freezes. I guess that Samsung also locks LBE, and only the screen can still be switched on and off, nothing else. After rebooting it freezes again after a few seconds.
After several attempts I was fast enough to stop LBE in the app settings menu before the devize froze. Then I could de-install it, and the Note 3 worked fine again.
I repeated this test with newer LBE version 5.0.3967_A1_de_signed.apk with exactly the same results.
Now I am a little bit frustrated. I did not only spend the money for the Note 3, and gave up my warranty, but I am still not able to use it as a small portable media player. though in principle everything works. I pay a device and do not really own it
My questions: Is there anybody who can help me to mount external NTFS formatted drives? And if LBE security master can be made working as well, this would be even better, I don't want to allow all apps to get internet access, especially if my mobile data plan has sometimes not much room left to play with
I searched a lot, but could not find a thread about this issue so far. And I hope it is fine if I open a new one.
Thanks for reading so much, any help is really appreciated!

Nobody using a Firewall like LBE on his rooted Note 3? Or are there similar apps like LBE security master, which I am not aware off? And also nobody is trying to connect the note to an NTFS drive? Or are there just no solutions? Any help is really much appreciated.

Hi !
Actually i have exactly the same problem than you. I'd like to install LBE on my Galaxy Note 3 but it freeze the phone and you have to reboot the phone and uninstall LBE quickly before it freezes again.
I don't have any solutions but i'm in the same situation so if anybody have some tips to avoid device froze, it'll be welcome.
(may be a future version will correct that problem, hope wait will not be so long)
I too am having the same problem getting Paragon NTFS&NFS+ to "mount" after I've rooted my T-Mobile GN3 (SM-N900T) using CF-AUTO-ROOT.
I have done some reading on xda and it looks like this is due to the new Samsung security measure, so this is not GN3 specific.
Is there a solution to this atm? If there isn't can someone please tell me what those measures are that's preventing applications from running.
Many of us are getting the "Prevention Information" message:
An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device

I finally was successful with the Saber Kernel from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484840
Now SELinux is running in permissive mode, and all apps get true root permissions. Everything fine including NTFS mounting, LBE security master etc. I only cannot get NFC being switched on, there's just a grey field.... And I cannot test LTE. But Wifi and BT work perfectly.
BTW, for me and my N9005 I could only use the "green" kernel, the red caused a boot loop, the yellow caused many apps to force close.
Now I'm looking for a solution of the NFC issue....

Thanks! I can confirm that the SaberN2Kernel resolves the issue. Paragon NTFS&HFS+ is now able to mount volumes on external usb mass storage devices. Although, in addition to the "Prevention Information" message I get prior to the kernel flash/update, I am now prompted with another notification:
Detection Information:
The device has detected an application attempting unpermited actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot.

Even though I can blithely ignore these notifications, but do you know what (and how) do I need to remove from and/or disable on my system to get rid of these messages?
Since you are rooted, try the app to disable knox notification or you can use the terminal emulator method to disable knox notification. Both are available on one of the threads here.

Verizon, its driving me nuts. I also have no reason to root.
I think if you go to Settings > About Device > Software Updates and uncheck "Auto update" you shouldn't get a notification any more.

when I press system updates under settings the popup to install now or install later shows up.
I read somewhere that you can do it by going to settings - application manager - all - Google services framework and hitting disable, and you won't see it again until you reactivate.
Hope it works.

Same problem here.
Flashed KK firmware, everything fast, good, great.
I have disabled the OTA checkbox as soon as I could.
But the OTA still popped up, and it says it's now downloaded.
How could I fix this?
I don't want LP until it's fixed.
(Non rooted, ofc.)
---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------
So I tried the following, WITHOUT LUCK:
- Install sim card, launch phone, DO NOT connect to wifi, disable update box.
Once wifi is on, it will download.
- Launch phone without SIM card, NO wifi, and disable box.
Well, guess what? It will just download once I add a wifi connection.
It looks like the phone will just do this at the first start.
But where is the update file? I seriously want to keep KitKat.
Let me know if anyone got an idea.
Hi,
I have the same problem, do you have found a solution ?
Thank you.
I think there is only one way to do this. You have to factory reset your device and during setup, where it asks you to sign in to your google accounts and connect to your samsung account, don't connect your samsung account.
I think that this is what notifies you about the OTA updates.
PS: I just remembered! Maybe you don't have to factory reset! You could try removing your Samsung account from your device's settings. Never tried it though so not sure if this will work (because when signing in you also agree to a user agreement, don't know if that has anything to do with it - you know the things nobody reads about but always agrees).
Pros:
No OTA updates.
Cons:
No backup and restore for your contacts, sms, emails, wallpapers, phone logs, priority senders (email addresses), spam addresses (email), spam filter (messages) and call rejection list.
No updates for ANY Samsung app or service including but not limited to S Voice, S Translator, etc.
Its really up to you, if you can find apps that could replace those services and stay with the previous versions of Samsung's apps (or find replacements for those too), then I don't see a reason why not to skip Samsung's Account Login.

I have posted a tutorial, an entire thread with steps detailed.
You CAN disable the OTA notification permanently, you do NOT need root. Just read my thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/tutorial-how-to-downgrade-to-kitkat-t3120445
PS.: @nicolas: That will still update your system. Read the tutorial.
Thank you for the tutorial, so I must wipe my phone to use your tuto ?
I've seen the comment to disable Software update but I have only one Software update and I can't disable it.
I'm going to contact Samsung to know if there is an official solution, I'll let you know...

1) Yes, you have to wipe.
2) You can use "Super Backup" from Play Store to backup just about everything important. (For the rest, just copy every file/folder from phone.)
3) Contacting samsung... well, good luck with that!

Yes, you have to remove the sim card if it supports data connection (mobile data).
Ps.: I have also contacted Samsung to downgrade my S3 when it received the 4.4 update which made it lag.
They tripped knox first (lol), took in my phone to replace motherboard, then when I got it back, it had 4.4 again and they said "downgrade is not supported".
10/10.
good job Samsung
So I've reinit my phone with SIM inside (just to try), when selecting operator window appears I close it, I don't connect to Wifi, I don't add Google or Samsung account and when possible I disable mobile data. I uncheck auto update and OTA notification has not appear since reinit
Perhaps the problem is solved, I'm watching it
Oh sh** OTA is back
Edit : Do you have a Samsung account ? It seems OTA is back since I've added my Samsung account...
I have a thing against having lots of apps in my app drawer that I never use. I always go through and disable ones that I won't need. Well, I disabled some of the ZTE apps like My Voice, and now I can't re-enable them. When I go to app info, it shows "disabled" on the list for the app, but when I tap it, there is an "enable" button that is grayed out.
I'd like to be able to do this without factory resetting the phone.
If you can get ADB running to connect the phone to the PC try this
adb shell pm list packages -d
adb shell pm unhide package.Name

Looks like you ran directly from terminal emulator. I'm not sure, but ADB shell might run under a different UID and have more permissions. This might have changed in MM, but you could use pm command to grand permission to Greenify package on non rooted devices
Was there ever a fix for this? I am running into the same issue and can't re-enable apps.

Are you sure about this? I have seen posts on ZTE board saying that apps can no longer be enabled/disabled with B27. With B20 you can at least do disabling (I am not sure about enabling).
some you can some you can't. you can disable ZTE browser, but can't disable ZTE calendar or ZTE messanger for instance.
For disabling apps, are you using a different launcher?
Launch the Stock Android launcher and disable apps through the app drawer - I've successfully disabled ZTE calendar and messenger on my device.
Re-enabling seems another problem altogether though..

B27 can still be rooted and bootloader unlocked. No real reason not to update.

That was something else that was changed.
On B20, if you disabled apps in Settings > Apps, sometimes you would not be able to re-enable them.
(What you're talking about) On B20, if you use the Stock Android theme, if you press and hold on an application icon, there's a "Disable" option at the top of the screen that you can drag the icon to. Using this method, you could disable apps that you couldn't via Settings > Apps, such as the ZTE Calendar and Messaging apps. However, this allowed you to disable things that could cause issues with the device, such as disabling Settings or the Dialer. If you disabled apps this way, you could not re-enable them via Settings > Apps.
On B27, you can still disable apps in Settings > Apps, and people haven't reported having issues re-enabling them.
On B27, the "Disable" option in the Stock Android theme has been removed. So while you're not able to disable some stock apps, you cannot accidentally disable something that could break the OS.

Thanks - hadn't noticed that difference with B27 till now.
However, I've disabled the stock clock, and can no longer re-enable it through the App settings.
There does appear to be another solution (I haven't tried it though) - from the App settings, if you select the 3 dot menu on the top right, the option to reset app preferences should re-enable apps (and reset other settings as well).

Did you disable it back in B20? Cause when I look at the stock clock in B27 on my device, the disable option is greyed out.
So I'm having this issue where my SM-G950F looses ALL known Networks when Wifi gets toggled.
I installed the update which came on the 21.04 but since I'm rooted I can't recieve OTA Updates anymore
Wlan driver is: Wlan v1.0 Release 1
Is there any fix for this?
Exactly the same issue with root here
I'm also rooted and having the same issue
Still happening .... does noone have a clue how to fix this ?
I've got the very same issue. It's very annoying. Hope someone finds a fix soon.
I'm also on a rooted Samsung S8+.
I think I have the same problem, but only when the WiFi-network has a password. It will remember the networks without password but as soon as I reboot or toggle Wifi it will have forgotten the network and password.
I also noticed the information disappears from the wpa_supplicant.conf-file.
I tried to solve it by:
- Deleting cache and data of google backup transport
- Deleting the DHCP-folder in /data/mics/
- Deleting the network-info in wpa_supplicant.conf
- Setting ro.secure.storage=false to false in BuildProp
- Deleting the ss_data-folder in /efs/
Nothing worked.
I have a Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F), Android 7.0 rooted with Magisk. To make room for Open GApps I had to remove some system-apps.
- Any of you installed Open GApps as well?
- I also noticed I had to enter a bluetooth passkey today. Although I previously connected my phone to my car. Could it be bluetooth is also affected?

I've also rooted with Magisk but I haven't removed any apps/installed GApps.
I've noticed the same with Bluetooth, my Zenwatch3 will ask me to confirm the passkey on my phone before pairing.
Did you by any chance enable 'unified hosts adblock' in Magisk? It was the cause of my problems. Disabled that and it worked.

Hmm interesting...
I've enabled "systemless host" in magisk but I'm using AdAway app rather than the "Unified Hosts Adblock" module.
I'll mess about with these and see if it resolves.
Same issue here on 955f, rooted with magisk, dhcp folder and file changed, systemless host off and still no wifi in memory. Has someone performed wipe to see if the issue has been resolved this way? Thanks
