Reactivation Lock wont stay Disabled. It keeps re-enabling after I login? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for cross posting, I have a SM-G900V currently running stock PB1 unrooted and a locked bootloader. My s5 also has Cid with 15 so I am able to unlock. My end goal is to have mm rooted and unlocked bootloader with custom recovery.

}
Now the issue,
The Reactivation Locked is enabled/checked in security settings with my account which I am able to log into both from a PC and while doing a full reset using ODIN or from stock recovery. During reset it makes me login to setup my phone and I do and move forward with setting up my phone. If I go into Settings/Security and turn off reactivation it asks me to login so I do. It says I'm logged in but the check is still there. It actually disappears then reappears right away.
I have done a dozen full wipes/resets of both the internal and external SD card using odin but nothing seems to let me disable reactivation so that I can get to MM rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I noticed that it says "Reactivation Lock(KK): ON" when in download mode. Does the (KK) part mean KitKat? I think the phone had KK on it when I first got it and setup everything on it. But from what I have read I will not be able to downgrade v5 to v4.4.x?
Anyone got any pointers?

EE S4 with I9505XXUBMG7 Firmware

I have a few questions regarding my S4, I hope someone can help me out here :laugh:
1. I have the I9505XXUBMG7 (4.2.2) EE firmware installed does this have KNOX? When I go to download mode there no mention of the 0x0 or 0x1 KNOX.....I don't have those 2 extra lines that most KNOX enabled users have, does this mean I don't have a KNOX bootloader installed? If so why do I have KNOX apks installed which I cannot disable or clear the data on in Applications?
2. My phone keeps asking to install a firmware update 45.31 MB in size, I keep postponing it for the max 3hrs that it shows, is there anyway to stop this update from downloading and pestering me all the time?
3. I would like to Debrand my phone, which is the lastest debranded firmware without KNOX bootloader I can install?
4. I would also like to root my device after the above.
5. I am currently locked to EE/Orange/T-Mobile, Do I unlock 1st before playing around with root and firmware?
Can anyone give me any advice thanks.

Well I got my unlock code today, I am unlocked to all networks thanks to, mobile unlocked 3hr wait for code :good:
I`m now rooted and still on my original EE Firmware :good:
Su said it wanted to disable some KNOX apps, so I said yes and it disabled them :good:
I don't have a KNOX boot loader, but my phone was full of KNOX related apks apps etc.... Maybe this firmware version is some EE Business setup??
I have PhilZ Touch custom recovery installed :good:
I have installed Titinium backup and froze the firmware upgrade app, among other things so they don't nag at me anymore :good:
Now Im just gona have a play :highfive:

ROOT S5 Mini Duos (Maybe working on other Samsung devices) with Z4root !

So, my friend got an S5 mini for chrismas and he wanted to root it so he tried everything. One morning he told me that he managed to root it with z4root but he restarted his phone and he lost the root. I didn't really believe him but I told him to continue trying and when it will be succesful send me a message. After some research a got to know that there's just one way to root to flash an older firmware with Odin, but as I read it can set Knox to 0x1 so I told him to stop trying. But this evening he sent me this picture:

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And told me that he was just playing with z4root and it worked again.
After some hours of unsuccesful tries, we found the working method, to make something with it. Install SuperSU from Play Store (or if it's installed, then just run it) and let it install su with the "Normal" method and also let it disable Knox. And it worked! Proof:
But unfortunately it sets the Phone Status to Custom:
("Eszköz állapota" = "Phone status" and "Egyedi" = "Custom")
I am not really familiar with Samsung phones, so could you please tell me if there's a way to set it back to Official? (Maybe with Wanam Xposed)
You need an original firmware
You have to use Odin and the original firmware that you can find on the web
you flash the original firmware and everything will be as your friend bought the phone except for the root that you will lose.

Remove Device Encryption on Stock Rom?

Out the Box my device Was running an encrypted file system which seems to affect some areas and leaves others untouched, and id rather just remove it for the performance increase. (similar to here https://www.anandtech.com/show/8725/encryption-and-storage-performance-in-android-50-lollipop )
I have flashed TWRP 3.1.1 for the kugu, and while i do not get prompted about the decryption on the stock rom, I am unable to boot custom roms due to the encryption. Entering in my pin, which should then grant the masterkey the ability to decrypt is rejected. It states my pin is correct, but that it is unable to decrypt the volume and i need to perform a full wipe. Ive tried this route, wiped the phone, installed a rom again, and when trying to boot it...same thing.
Don't know whats up with that. My Device is Bootloader unlocked and I've tried a variant or two of TWRP.
Ive tried the DRM fix Genesis Kernel, and the patch it yourself Genesis Kernel both of which state they disable forced encryption.
Ive tried to install Paranoid Android, but i am unable to proceed past the point where it requests you to decrypt the phone.
Ive Tried Factory Resets, i've tried data wipes, and i've tried downgrading. Anyone else having similar issues?
How Do I Get around this and remove device encryption? I don't recall ever enabling it, nor being asked about it.

I think you need to wipe the user data and format with TWRP, then set up the phone.
If you let nougat do it itself, it will be encrypted.
Or, something like that?

Telekom S7 Edge G935F (german carrier) failed to root and now blocked by Kernel Check

hey XDA Pro´s
i thought quite a while on how to explain what, how and where i need help.
but first off i have to say that i am not a native english speaker, so please stay nice
its not my first samsung that i tried to root but this time i f´d up real bad!
my phones storage was full, even tho i deinstalled almost every app but it kept on beeing filled with "ghost" files that i couldnt figure out what it was. so i came to the conclusion to root to get rid of everything that might be a rogue file or else.
well the root worked quite well, for a about 2 hours, then i made a mistake and set the "OEM" Slider back in the developer options, after 30mins it rebooted and my phone had a FRP Lock. i know... i fd up!
then i thought, well i could easily just downgrade, reflash another rom to get rid of the FRP Lock.
as you can see, it went even more bad.
i cant flash anything anymore and need help.
since it happened a month ago i really try to recall what i have done so far, so please ask me whatever is needed to get my phone back to normal.
i tried several odin versions, the latest telekom rom, a standard samsund s7 edge rom but nothing seems to work.
i hope someone knows what to do
