Anyone mind sharing the original face unlock apk for me from the device's sytem files? Tried several versions already from APKMirror but all of them would force close.
Face unlock included in stock ROM.

Yes I know that, but I overwritten it with a different apk that's why I cant get it back now.....
Please someone with root willing to do this? Its located under \system\app\facelock\facelock.apk, then mind sharing it on google drive, dropbox, any other mirror service?
Instead of putting "unknown" files to your system, rather flash stock system image via fastboot. This way you'll have surely unmodded file with correct permissions.

Done that, wouldn't help. Used the xiaomi tool.
Wait what? There's a face recognition unlock app? I don't have this, i just got the phone ( international version )
Try using smart lock's trusted face feature in security option..
Hope you'll be satisfied.

As you mentioned that you tried to replace the app, I'd suggest:
1. clear facelok app cache and data
2. make sure that it has Camera permission enabled
3. make sure it's not disabled

So like a few others my phone is stuck in the initial setup wizard and crashes saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." My question is if you guys think I could take my phone back into an AT&T store and try to get a new one. My boot process shows the stock screen and not the unlocked version.
I just dont know if they send it off to Samsung to check it for being rooted or if they could tell anymore. Thanks in advance.
Shouldnt make a difference but maybe do a factory reset in recovery just to make sure

Your private mode must be enabled already. That's why. To enable private mode, you need a pin / fingerprint.

Samsung decided with marshmallow to disable that feature if the Knox flag was triggered. You need the modded apk which removes this check.

I would recomend you to download a custom rom which has the modded apk, extract the apk from the rom, delete yours and reboot. Then put the modded apk in the exact place where the original was, put rw-r-r permissions and reboot

Even if you flash the original firmware, you will not be able to use the security features anymore (in some custom roms, some features do work). Once you root, the knox flag changes permanently!

recently i have rooted my samsung j5 2015 and i have unrooted the android phone using smartswitch the browser is showing root detected what is the problem
Install samsung internet beta. For some bizarre reason it doesn't check the knox flag and you can set up the secret mode. (Working on my S7 flat with stock firmware but with knox tripped)
*Edited. I uploaded which factory firmware worked for me on a t-mobile s7 as of 10/30/2016 to dropbox if anyone needs it.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bjz0du5b6kyt3g7/AADETkXwGhpRMSQoI2bmrupBa?dl=0
These are what worked for me. Included is a link to the factory firmware if you screw something up.
Turn on developer options/Usb debugging. After installing your Samsung USB drivers http://stockroms.net/file/Drivers/Samsung/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe , plug it in. Click allow on your phone.
Put it in download mode. Open odin, click AP and choose the .tar file. Click start.
After reboot unlock the phone and open fastboot folder. Double click root.
After reboot, transfer busybox.apk or download busybox. When setting up busybox, make sure to install it to /system/xbin. Not /su/xbin.
Something goes wrong, use the same odin to flash the firmware you download from the included link. I would have included the files but their 2.1 gb.
Again, this is just what worked for me.

After you root it it automatically sets your governor as performance. It needs to be made interactive before you do anything.

it was because the phone updated to the pki or whatever released on 11/5/2016. I used all your files in odin at once to downgrade, then was able to proceed perfectly. thanks again
Thanks for the files. It's a shame though this device has been secured as much as it has with little development. I've always had phones with full root, customization, and control. With the root methods so far, I mean it works but there's just too many cons and I've tried everything to get performance back post root. Went back to stock in the mean time.

Yes, It worked for me.
So I installed the revolution mod ( nougat ) and my fingerprint sensor was not working so I installed the stock firmware and because there were no fingerprints saved on stock , I factory reseted the phone , then I installed the revolution rom again and it was working for few days but now it stopped working again ( sometimes it does not recognize it and sometimes it doesnt even vibrate Like i would not even have my finger on it )
To me that sounds like an hardware issue and therefore needs to be sent in for repair.
I don't think it's an hardware issue.. the ROM has some problem with some people, I suggest you to try stock ROM for a few days to verify if the problem is related to your device or the ROM.

Well if you are on a Nougat build, you cannot just flash a MM update.app
You either need to flash an OEMinfo file first (old method) or use the official Huawei rollback method (new method).
If you did none of that, that might be the reason why your phone does not boot.

Normally you get it over the phone dialer but since you are in bootloop...

There are programs out there that generate the product ID but I have no clue if they work for this device.
Use the huawei site where you get the unlock code and you will find that the id is found by typing a code on the phone dialer.... there you will find what to type on the phone.

I can't access the phone
So here's what happened:
Got a message to reboot my non rooted Mi A1 in order to finish the november update
Clicked on it and waited for the reboot, which took a while
Screen kept flashing, but mostly a black screen with now and then a flash of my background and the task bar in the top of the screen.
Went to this forum to find answers and solutions
OEM was locked and couldn't access the phone, so unlocking OEM and flashing stock was not an option.
Saw someone mention you can switch the active partition. It was set on B and I changed it to A.
Phone works fine with that option, but the message that the update has failed keeps popping up and it gives an error when I try to redownload and reinstall the update.
If anyone knows what the recommended steps are to fix this issue it would be most helpful!
PS. Also if I have to unlock OEM that means it will wipe the phone right? Any tips on backing up the apps including their user data (meaning I won't have to reconnect authenticators to my phone, won't lose game date etc.)
Try to remove sim and disable PIN.

Does that method wipe the phone? If I am correct you have to unlock the bootloader which requires a complete wipe of your phone.

You can also take out your sim from your Mi A1, boot your Mi A1, disable pin in settings, shut off, put your sim back and boot.
That's what I did with my wife's phone.

For now. When you set your device language on English you can use your PIN. Otherwise wait till fix.

I think you can also prevent your device before booting by a pattern, etc.
It's no the best I am really happy the phone can be used again.
I have to install everything again because I tried several factory resets
Dont update to November patch, in my case battery life is worse.

Does that method wipe the phone? If I am correct you have to unlock the bootloader which requires a complete wipe of your phone.
