Unauthorized actions detected - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I keep on getting Unauthorised actions detected, please restart the device to undo any unauthorized changes. I did restart as it said. and also I did factory reset and problem is still there and with this problem, i am getting very bad lag on my device.
It all started when I used DR.fone to recover music files from the device. I connected my device to pc and DR.fone did a flashing into my device and after that all that notification and lag started

Plz check status of knox.

Reset!

I'm having the same issue (S7 Edge) after using Dr.Fone to recover some Whatsapp pictures (which it failed to do)
no i keep getting this annoying (yet slightly worrying the more i think) message about unauthorised actions detected?
Hoping its not a security flaw, i manually took the phone out of developer mode as dr.fone asks for it to be in that state.
I have done the restart via the message pop up.
I have done the hard restart manually
i have checked knox status = 0x000
Can anyone suggest anything worthy of an attempt.
Many thanks in advance

i have got the same issue due to the same reasons, please help

you need to flash firmware using Odin or use smartswitch to back up and then recover firmware this happened to me as well and I flashed phone using Odin it was very annoying and worrying as i could not update firmware from phone it's a very invasive software and I am sure it's not legal.

Galaxy S7 Edge Knox Issues

I wonder if anyone could help? I recently purchased a second hand Galaxy S7 Edge. It appears the person I bought it off has had the phone network unlocked by a third party and not through his network provider. Since that the phone is suffering from a number of minor but annoying issues.
1) At start up the phone will notify at least twice that Loggingservice has stopped.
2) KNOX will display a message every 5 minutes "Unauthorised actions have been detected, please restart your device" and restarting the device does not help.
3) When attempting to install software updates OTA, it goes through the entire process and when the phone reboots at the end and after android has started up a notification will pop up saying "Unable to install software update, please contact service center."
I have had a browse and the phone appears not to be rooted, software is official and knox counter shows 0 (0X000000)
Does anybody know if there is a way to undo all of this? Even if it re locks the phone, at least I will be able to sell it on in proper working condition and get one that is properly compatible.
Thanks
Try flashing the Samsung stock ROM. See:

View call history in locked phone

Hi All,
Can we retrieve the call history from a Samsung galaxy S5 (SM-I900H).
The phone actually belongs to a deceased person(a blood relative) and we want to see whats in the phone.
I have tried a few methods such as
invoking MyPhoneExplorer application from adb. (unable to share the exact link due to xda restriction.)
USB debugging is OFF so I could not proceed further.
The phone was booting and waiting for correct password on the login screen at that point of time.
Recently I tried another windows application called
"Wondershare Dr.Fone for Android".
It has a feature called Android Data Extraction, it tried to download some image to the phone. My bad that there was mis-match between the actualy device model(SM-900H) and the model selected in the Dr.Fone application(SM-900I).
The download was terminated in the middle and now the phone doesnt boot up. I am getting the below message when the device is switched on
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Can somebody please help in data extraction from the device.

That part is easy (ish)
Youll need to download firmware for the device (I use fw.updato.com) and flash with Odin. (google/xda search)
Usually there's a 99.9% chance this will go fine without loosing the data on the phone, essentailly at this point, you kinda have to take the 0.01% chance of data loss, you wont get it any other way...
Wondershare's website list compatibility up to 5.0 for that device, id strongly recommend flashing the 5.0 OS, and not upgrading to 6.0.1 until after you are sorted.
As far as the data recovery, from there you are on your own, never used that soft ware, but the above will get you a booting device
Thank you so much Sam for replying.
Wish you a very happy new year !!
The current Android version on the device is Marshmallow (6.0.1).
I found a 5.0 firmware version for India region from fw updato website, but can you please suggest for the below queries.
Should I download all the 3 binaries (PDA, CSC, Phone) to the device?
If I download all the 3 binaries using odin, is there a good chance that the data will still be available?
Thank you in advance.

Attempted some kind of quasi root, now having issues. Please help!

Okay, let me start out by saying that I don't really know much about this stuff.
Anyway, I messed up and deleted some photos that were important for my job and in a panic I used some questionable software in attempt to "root" my phone, in hopes of retrieving those photos.
I never got the photos back, but now I have some type of security issue with my phone. Basically, during the boot screen, I get a custom/unlocked logo, and when it boots up I get the following security message: "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes". In addition, I cannot use my fingerprint sensor, Samsung Pay, or install updates.
After doing a little research, I downloaded a couple apps to see if 1) my phone was actually rooted (SuperSu) 2) if Knox had been tripped (Knox Status). The answer to both is "no", so hopefully that is a good sign.
Is there anyway to restore my phone to normal, or did I do something that is non-reversible?
Anyway help would be greatly appreciated!
Flash a Sammy Rom via Odin in download mode and you should be good to go.

Error flashin in Odin

Hi,
I have a carrier branded s10+, in Europe, with no simlock. I have tried to flash an open market firmware with Odin but it fails. After clicking start fails immediately without doing anything to the phone.
I have previusly removed the Samsung account to turn of FRP as I always did when flashing.
What could be the problem? The fingerprint having the phone encrypted? I will eventually factory reset and try to flash it with no initial setup being done, but I kinda want to avoid a factory reset if it won't make a difference.
This is not the first time I use Odin, but this problem is new to me.
Add a screenshot of Odin when the error occurs.

you will probably need to use a modify version of odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/sm-g975u-firmware-downloads-tmo-spr-att-t3908657 2nd post
Found the solution. after removing the Samsung account, disabling encryption on the phone and disabling Find my phone from device managers, I enabled OEM Unlocking. Flashing worked with no issues after this.
