Hi
I recently purchased a Note 4 from a company in Australia it was a refurbished International Verizon model called an open box special was a great price at 499 but when it came I was surprised to find it was rooted and running a DongCHAU.A927 build number but was flagged as official not modified in the settings and Knox has not been tripped, its a SM-N910F but the boot loader is N910V. Its definitely not a fake but obviously not 100% official. There are also a couple of little things but they might be related to Lollipop 5.01 as below
When I click the spen button and point to the screen the air menu feature does not work, it only works when I pull the spen out
There is no link action memo icon so I cant link notes to actions
I am very happy with it but just curious about the above and I am also concerned what will happen if I receive an OTA update for example to Marshmallow will it brick or will there be issues, also if I want to put a custom rom on it will there be issues given the fact that its a 910F phone but the boot loader is 910V. There is no unusual software running when I boot into Samsung recovery or download so I'm not sure how they managed to modify it yet keep it official, also the firmware seems very genuine also the company I brought the phone off are clueless and just told me that's obviously how the international note 4 are LOL

Hi all xda-developers members,
My father has a GALAXY J5 (2016) WHICH IS SM-J5108, variant for Hong Kong and China. All of you guys and gals know that newer Samsung smartphones has three things called:
CROM SERVICES, which is allow you or not to install custom ROM
FRP LOCK, which is Factory Reset Protection. After doing a FR, the stupid thing asks you a Google account
KNOX WARRANTY
Because GALAXY S7 all series which is within edge and edge+ also have these of things, so I write here to get more members to concern issues of this time.
Recently, I am attempting to use TWRP custom recovery temporarily to install Google Apps provided by Open Google Apps and the recovery, TWRP, I mentioned is basic requirements. When I finished all procedure, I've encountered some problems. First the CROM services is cannot be regain back the locking status. Next FRP Lock possibly cannot be turned on again. Last KNOX Warranty who is general warranty which is voided and now I want to gain back for it.
For now, I want to restore these of defaults. YOU guys and gals what should I do for now??

Is there some thing wrong with this post?
because im not getting any answer?
please, guys, help me if this post i wrong place let me know i will put in the right place
or if no one can solve this let me know i will stop searching for solutions
People simply might not know which is why they haven't replied. I can add my two cents but I'm not really sure.
930V is the version of the S7, a USA model. It might be that as the US model, it isn't compatible with samsung pay outside the US. It could also be that as a US model you can't get updates without being on a US carrier network.
Another possibility is that it's not an S7 at all and that it's a fake phone made to look and behave like an S7. Boot the phone into download mode, as download mode phone information can't be faked. See what it says in there.
But that's just a guess, I don't know for sure.
You can use Odin to change the firmware so long as it's a compatible stock firmware (you'd have to be looking at the Snapdragon firmware) which you can find at sammobile.com

its not face it tried g930u rom installed every thing good but little bit network problem network weak and Samsung pay is international not India version
Samsung pay may be an international service, but to work it still requires collaboration between telcos and samsung.
You have a US model phone that is not officially supported outside of the US, and is not officially supports by Indian telcos. That is probably why it won't work. Whatever Samsung and Indian telcos put in place to support Samsung pay likely doesn't include US model phones being used outside the US, with a non-US SIM.
The 930V also uses a different modem to the international 930F variant, which means you won't be connecting to all the same network bands as the 930F variant, which will affect your network speed and potentially any telco services such as VoLTE and Samsung pay.
There is a reason 930V's sell for cheaper than the international 930F variant.
so there is no solution for this phone
I have a AUS version of S7 and I can confirm that I am able to use it in India for Samsung Pay
Why dont you manually update it to Android 7. This will have latest Samsung Pay installed and you should be able to use it in India
Please head to Sammobile and search firmware for SM-G930V
Australia and India both use the international variant G930F, so I'd expect it to work.

Hi All,
Please excuse me in case this was already adressed in other post.
Case: I bought in South Korea a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950N) Exynos version. Im very happy with the phone but there are a few diferences between this one and the spanish version of the phone. For example, since in Korea apparently is not legal to silence the shutter of the camera there is no option in the phone to remove this sound. Other things are for example the apps that by default are installed in the phone. In my case the carrier is KT and I have a ton of apps that I cannot use or Im not interested.
Questions:
Q1.- Is there a possibility to install the samsung stock rom for the S8 clean (from Spain for example) and get rid of all this crap and at the same time maintain all warranty and Updates as any other "not modified" phone?
Q2.- Will the software change once i insert the SIM car from my spanish carrier showing me option available in the S8 spanish software version that i cannot see now from the Korean version?
Q3.- can I use a baseband from any other carrier and if not is there compatible basebands with my phone?
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I have a Korean phone (g950N) and have done everything that you want to it EXCEPT my warranty is void. Initially, I rooted the phone and flashed a different stock ROM. Since then, I've flashed a custom ROM (Renovate-ice) as it gives me far more options and flexibility. During the installation, you can choose the country you want and it will add all the relevant software and frequencies etc.

AFAIK you will not get to the result you want, as long as you don't want to void your warranty (knox 0x1).
Flashing a g950F Firmware on a g950N device will lead to a not booting phone.
So:

Also, no. Your CSC won't change when inserting a different SIM.
As to the third question, I can't answer.
But if you would be willing to void your warranty, you of course can change the csc to a spain one, get all the spain carrier bloatware and can deactivate the shutter sound.
voLTE ISSUE
I am facing a similar problem.
i bought a galaxy s8 (SM-G950n) from south korea. But here, in india, i can't use voLTE. i can use LTE and other band at ease except voLTE. Then googled and found that indian csc code installation may help. But the problem is that the phone i have is single sim and the indian model has dual sim. If i flash the indian stock rom will it brick? If it bricks i can't gp back to south korea to resolve that. i contacted the korean samsung service but their help didn't work.
Give me a strong solution.
My phone was rooted when I bought and I expected to get to get back to the stock room. I don't care about warranty but I care about able to use apps on my phone. Probably your people don't what risks you take when you buy the phone from shops. The main problem I have with phone what I can't use any payment service (Samsung Pay, Google Pay or Barclay), next I can't use Samsung password management and even I can't use oyster TFL app because my phone is rooted. I tried all stock firmware version no one is working. The game is changing with the rooting phone. One thing that I don't like about Android is software updated. I don't blame shop guy who sold the phone with the latest update but it had to root the phone in order to update to the latest. Android is not same as was before it is changing without letting consumers know that in future you will have trouble using your phone. Below where chat transcript with Samsung support team.

Robertas Suminskas
16:51:22 I need to unroot phone because Samsung pay and password management app it says the phone is rooted
Calm
16:51:22 Welcome to Samsung Support. Please allow me a moment to read through your enquiry.
16:51:57 Hi, Robertas! My name is Calm from Mobiles Live Chat Support. How are you doing today?
Robertas Suminskas
16:52:17 fine
Calm
16:52:25 I understand that you are getting error message that your phone is rooted. No worries, let us double check that.
16:52:31 That's great, Robertas! I hope I can make it even better.
16:52:45 May I know where and when did you purchase your phone, Robertas?
Robertas Suminskas
16:53:11 I am happy to do unroot but I need assistance how to do it
16:53:45 I bought from shop
16:54:03 not Samsung official shop
Calm
16:55:28 I see. I hate to be the bearer of this news, once the phone is rooted, I am afraid that we won't be able to un root it. As we don't recommend that to our phones as that can cause serious damage on the phone. We will now double check if the phone has really been rooted. Rooting a phone can cause serious damage to the phone as it will completely remove the original software of the device, therefore, possibly changing the functionalities of the phone. Also, rooting the phone voids the warranty. To check, please follow these steps:
16:55:36 1. Power off the device completely. 2. Press and hold the volume down button, power button, and home button simultaneously until you see the screen turn blue. 3. Once the screen turns blue, please press the Volume Up Button. 4. Could you please tell me what you can see next to Product Name, Current Binary, System Status, and Knox Warranty Void?
Robertas Suminskas
17:00:02 Product Name: SM-G935F Current Binary: Samsung Official System Status: Official FAP lock: Off Warranty void: (0x030c) AP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:1
Calm
17:04:15 I see. Thanks for that information. We have confirmed that the phone is rooted, Robertas. It would be best to get in touch with the retailer where you purchased the phone. As rooting the phone will void the warranty.
Robertas Suminskas
17:04:41 Product Name: SM-G935F / Current Binary: Samsung / Official System Status: Official / FAP lock: Off/ Warranty void: (0x030c) / AP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:1
17:06:08 I don't have time to chase retailers or whatever and I don't care about the warranty. What I want you to help me to unroot the phone.
Calm
17:06:36 I am afraid that once the phone has been rooted, it cannot be undone, Robertas.
Robertas Suminskas
17:07:57 This something new. Do all customers know about this? Or you just implement this system from galaxy s7?
17:09:33 It needs to be published this officially because I am not going to buy anymore Samsung phone. Is to risky
17:09:53 I am afraid
Calm
17:11:14 Rooting a phone means installing a customise operating system on the phone which is a third party software. Just to give you an idea, we do not tolerate rooting phones and we don't sell rooted phones as well. As you have mentioned, you have not purchased a phone from an official Samsung Store, I am afraid that the retailer that you bought the phone from customised or modified the phones that they are selling.
Robertas Suminskas
17:13:31 there is firmware or software in all devices (laptops, TV, phone and so on). Where is way yo recover if software got the issue. So please don't tell me that is not possible to do this as long is a OS issue
Calm
17:15:05 I do understand that you would like the phone to be un rooted. However, as much as I would like to help you do that, once the phone has been rooted it cannot be undone. Also, if in case you bring the phone to one of our Support Centres, the Engineers would just refuse to fix the phone as it is been rooted. Rooting a phone is not software issue, Robertas. Rooting a phone is not done by Samsung. Like I have mentioned, we don't recommend that.
17:16:20 Rooting a phone can cause serious damage to the phone as it will completely remove the original software of the device, therefore, possibly changing the functionalities of the phone.
Robertas Suminskas
17:16:20 So it means I can't use all Samsung service. Why you don't officially this?
Calm
17:17:02 Like I have mentioned, we are not the one who installed the custom OS. It is done probably the store where you purchase the phone from.
Robertas Suminskas
17:17:08 People don't know this and you implement starting from Galaxy S7
Calm
17:17:48 All devices can be rooted. It is up to the customer if they would install a custom OS. We do not tolerate that, Robertas
Robertas Suminskas
17:18:24 But it you didn't say that services will be limited
Calm
17:18:41 Yes, that is why we don't recommend rooting a phone.
Robertas Suminskas
17:19:51 I know this now from your words but not in the paper and Samsung warranty. This original stock firmware
17:21:38 you locked some app to the phone and I didn't see in any papers
Calm
17:24:21 Just to give you a heads up, we are not the one who roots the phone as we don't recommend that. If you'd like, I can send you a proof on your email on how to check if the phone has been rooted.
17:24:27 May I know your email address?
Robertas Suminskas
17:24:59 [email protected]
17:26:52 This lack information from Samsung and I gonna look way to publish this so people be aware what they are buying and what risks they take.
17:27:14 I understand is hardware is modified but is only software
Calm
17:27:16 Also, may I know from what retailer did you purchase your phone?
Robertas Suminskas
17:27:54 I don't remember name it was 1.5 year ago
17:30:05 Better apple phone to buy than Samsung because peple can do jailbreak or un-jailbreak
Calm
17:30:13 Not all of Samsung phones are rooted, Robertas. We are not the one who modified the operating system of your phone. The reason why it is rooted because it was been modified by someone. And also, just to take in to consideration, you have purchased a phone to a unauthorised third party retailer.
Robertas Suminskas
17:30:45 but if I want to install stock firmware so why you say that phone is modified?
Calm
17:35:01 We perform a troubleshooting step earlier which is the Root Checker. Based on the information that you have given me, your phone has been modified.
Robertas Suminskas
17:35:07 where plenty sources on the internet how to unroot the phone? are they not real?
Calm
17:35:27 The device IS rooted if: Product name does not match the device. Current Binary does not say official or id there are counts in brackets. System Status does not say official. Knox Warranty Void (S4 and above) does not say 0x0.
17:36:27 Based on the information you have given the Knox Warranty Void is (0x030c). It should be 0x0.
17:36:43 We don't recommend that, Robertas.
Robertas Suminskas
17:38:28 Explain to me why Samsung service like Samsung Pay and Password? How do they work check phone?
17:38:54 what else is limited that I don't know?
Calm
17:39:00 Because once the software has been modified, it will change the functionalities of the phone. As the original software has already been removed.
Robertas Suminskas
17:39:42 I want get back original software. Where I can get this?
Calm
17:42:27 Once the phone has been rooted, it cannot be undone, Robertas. I am sorry about that. I highly suggest to get in touch with the retailer where you bought the phone. After this chat session you will have an option to save this chat transcript. You may present this as a proof that your phone has been modified. They might consider giving you a refund.
17:44:28 Aside from this, is there anything else that I can help you with whilst you still have me on the line?
Robertas Suminskas

Remember one thing with every Android update they gonna limit and limit more services on the rooted phone and they are making things to be undone.
I don't see the point to buy android phones from shops and at all. I remember I had phone Galaxy S2, S5 and I was rooted my self just to try and to learn. But I didn't have the problem to unroot. I don't care about warranty if is NOT VALID after that. But what I care is about getting full android experience. On rooted phone full Android experience is gone and this information is not published officially.
I believe most people don't about this and they thought that only warranty you lose.
Use superman rom with superstock kernel some people have reported it as the only one working with Samsung pay with Knox security voided.

All custom rooms have stability issues where I experienced in past. I don’t really want use custom rooms. Point is what all resources about unroot samsung phone is bull****. They shouldn’t confuse people with lies about unroot and should be deleted from forum.

I believe, and correct me if i am wrong, you can unroot a phone and flashing via Odin should put the phone back to square 1, however once Knox is tripped there is no going back only custom roms can fake the Knox status..
Use magisk to hide root.
Yes if you did root by system modifications, you will have more problems then if you did systemless root. And samsung pay won't work in stock kernel anyway because it checks knox warranty void..

What the hell are you talking about? For starters, this is an android developer community. XDA was not created just so random people can come here looking to have their problems fixed for them.
Moving on, un-rooting a phone is as easy as it gets. Just download the Stock ROM and install it. Done. Stop spouting your bullcrap about people on XDA lying and just do some freaking research, this information is not hard to find and there are MANY guides and forum posts available here on XDA as well as 10000000+ other places on the internet as to how to return a Samsung phone to stock. You can either use ODIN or Samsung smart switch to do it.
You're the one who purchased a rooted phone, you knew what you were getting into. If you don't want it rooted and don't have the technical ability to un-root it, you should have never purchased it in the first place.
I agree with OP .
Love Spay but hate being restricted just like iphone.
No diff in samsung and apple nowadays
Man it doesn’t work from youtube or xda. Just accept reality. I tried stock rooms, I tried superman and other crap. You can’t realise that they are increasing security to stop people from rooting phones. Funny parts are that more apps stops working on rooted phones. So please take a coffee and accepts reality.

You can unroot without problem, but you CANNOT make knox back to 0x0 after tripping it... knox tripping is the biggest disadvantage of rooting.. as far as rooting goes .. you can root with magisk systemless root that hides your root from apps which don't work on rooted phones.. the only problem are the apps which detect knox status and thats hard to hide and samsung health and spay won't work after knox is tripped.
So you can root with magisk and hide your root easily to use all the apps.. you can also unroot by flashing stock rom back.. but you cannot fix/hide a tripped knox due to which samsung apps won't work.. so the real downside of rooting is the warranty void and samsung apps not working due to tripped knox.. maybe if there are some ways to hide knox status by custom kernels etc.. it would be the best option..

Just to let know not only Samsung apps are not working also banking apps, Service Provider apps and Others. Magisk it doesn't work anymore.

Post it on magisk forum then.. its meant to be systemless root that hides the root status.. if its really not working post on their thread for getting support. Majority of users use magisk to pass safety net and hide their root.. don't know if we need some additional xposed module or some software to hide root..
As far as I know.. only samsung apps could check the knox status.. if really other apps are not working with root.. then its a dilemma pls post on magisk forum and keep us updated

Thanks, a lot for the advice. I just gonna buy iPhone. Where no waiting time for latest updates, where is no carrier firmware and there is no radio. And Apple keeps pushing updates for phones even if 4 years older.
Samsung for the US have Snapdragon and for the EU only give Enyxios. I liked snapdragon and because I live in the UK now I must think how to get snapdragon. Strange fingerprint position and crashes. And support team is not good at all. Everything comes years later to Android than to iOS. I don't see the point to root phones because it works even worst and you get limited service and app choice. And why as the user I don't have the choice to use native Android OS (like original Android OS without modification) on phones? Why it comes only with preinstalled Samsung OS?
Thanks a lot,
Good luck
