Hey there,
So I've been having a good time with my S8, and am even enjoying the beta testing in all its buggy glory Unfortunately, I seem to have cornered myself into a situation I can't seem to find a resolution for. Basically, after one of the recent beta updates, I had to set PDP engine back up as an owner / administrator, which it normally takes care of on its own using Knox and the sort.
Now for the real issue-- Since I currently cannot employ Samsung Pay due to my Financial Institution's limitations, I disabled basically everything Knox related. I assume that, in my crusade against Knox, I disabled whatever allows for Device Owner to be set.. Unfortunately, this means PDP engine / PDP pro don't work. I can't re-enable or disable anything... Is there a means of undoing PDP changes so that I can get everything working again?
Thanks!
Silly me, I just realized the issue is that pdp engine can't get itself set up right on this beta build, seems like everything else is fine

PDP Pro has a self-contained Samsung build (no additional plugin) that works up to the last Beta (I don't have non-beta Oreo yet, so can't really give you any advice if that's where you're at). Uninstalling the App + Plugin, clearing cache, then installing this version seemed to clear everything up for me. Not too sure about that Workstation lockout you have. You may need to compile as much information as possible and launch a separate thread for useful support on that front
Mines worked flawless all through the oreo betas...if anything link2sd has locked me out an force closes on opening

Alright guys,
Essentially I'm having a little problem with my S Health App, I am on the rooted N9100f phone with the Echoe rom installed.
every so often my S Health app seems to reset my profile to a Jame Lee born 01 Jan 1970, 4' 11" and 110lbs. I feel sorry for the human if he does exist but I'm not sure why this is happening. Does anyone have any experience with fixing this or just it happening to them.
Also I don't seem to be about to restore to a backed up S Heath profile which is kind of weird.
Anyways Cheers in a advance
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you have multiple personality disorder, and are changing it yourself.
Sorry, no clue.
That's because you are James Lee.... you've always been James Lee <que dramatic music>

Same problem
Kofeye: My unrooted S5 did the same thing late yesterday after successfully tracking weight, steps, heart rate for several months.
S Health "James Lee" Problem
Some of you use xmodgames? I think this is the problem. I get the same problem, when i uninstall the app, I dont get any errors on S Health.

It's not xmodgames, as I don't have that installed on this phone and never did.
I have the exact same issue. I highly suspect it is one of the root apps messing with some background Samsung service which S Health requires to work properly. Will be watching this thread and trying to figure out what exactly causes this. I hope we get to the bottom of this soon.

I don't have my s5 active rooted or x mod games and see this James Lee issue now too on S Health. Could it be default values set by samsung dev when app is reset?
This happens when xposed framework is being installed cause it has issues with S-health secure server. It is a need of disabling s-health server security to make the phone work with xposed without issues. Everytime xposed get reinstalled the S-health app resets. You then got to install the backup from your S-health sync service and all is well. Rmember to sync just before updating or installing xposed (or Roms with xposed) to not loose data.
Wanam xposed kit has this option to deactivate secure server to make xposed framework function well with phones having S-health. Most custom rom implements xposed framework and then probably also need to disable secure server.
Edit. To be able to sync/backup S-health, aecure server must be disabled first by installing Wanam kit or other xposed apps with this option. Many custom roms also implements Wanam features.

Anyone else having problems with this after upgrading to Nougat? It was working fine before I upgraded, now it says it can't activate because I don't have a license. Except that I paid for it months ago. The developer seems to be absent, not responding to emails or feedback on the Play Store.

The developer needs to implement a license to be able to use
Knox abilities, if you understand what I mean..
generall all apps in main list of Setting > Apps are safe to disable
but in menu there is option for System Apps. don't disable them.

But I already had a license for MM. I tried emailing the developer and it bounced. Sounds like abandonware.

There are 2 different licenses that the developer can use, not you.
https://seap.samsung.com/program-overview
But I now think that it's not a licensing problem, but an update problem. Android N uses a new version of Knox, if that isn't implemented in the app, it won't work.
What's new https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android
The dev finally replied, and said I need to upgrade to version 7.3 (from 7.0). But that's a completely new app in the Play Store, and Google wants to charge me for it. Hardly seems fair to pay a second time for the app I already paid for once. We'll see what the dev says, but this isn't the first time he's played games with changing the name of the app and putting it in the store as a new program, instead of an upgrade.

I am also using package disabler pro on S7 with N. I got the latest version from the store and it seems to do the job. But what I read from your post, they can just do this magic when they use Knox? Is this correct? Why is this? When you first start the app, you have to agree to KLMS which is part of knox.... Now I see in my running processes that I have Knox running in the background? I am not really sure if I like this. I bought this app to get rid of Samsung things like Knox?!??!
I contacted the developer but he refuses to give me a clear and satisfying answer.

Those apps use the Knox SDK(see Settings->Software Info for the sdk version) . This gives the developer the possibility to use some abilities that normally only system apps have, eg. Disable apps.
What apps need to run in the background to make that possible? I don't know.
Why would you want to get rid of Knox?

This explains a lot!
I wanted to get rid of Knox because I don't need it. Afaik, Knox is a security solution (developed by NSA) designed to create a secure area/container for data etc. It's is not my company phone and that's why I don't need it and want get rid of it.
I looks like I cannot have both, disable knox and the rest of the bloat..
Thank you very much.

No problem
Knox, the app, is not the same as Knox sdk

I have an odd question. Has anyone else ran into this problem. I was trying to run FoxBet app and FanDuel Sportsbook apps. They have to check you location to make sure you are in a state with legal sports betting. We'll both of them come back stating that they can not find my location. FanDuel actually says that I have prohibited software running, MagiskManager(Topjohnwu). I searched all over and do not see any thing by either name on my phone. My phone is not rooted and never has been. I have SM-G930V updated to Android 8.0.0, G930VVRUACSH1. I have emailed both companies and they have told me that their company program, GEOComply, is never wrong and they can't help me. Am I missing something? Is there something hidden or a setting that needs to be turned off. Thanks for any help.
This exact thing happens to me on my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T and I have yet to figure it out. Also not rooted.
Do you happen to use any non-root adblockers such as blokada or adguard? I use adguard but even with the app uninstalled I get the same messages.
Quite frustrating...
Is it a good idea to do this?
I have the unmodified t-mobile varient. I know touching system apps are usually a no no, but wonder if someone successfully disabled it for user 0 with no reprocussions.
The app is always broken and tells me to use the website instead, has unchangable always on all permissions and cannot be disabled by settings app. Both are greyed out.
I am done with this useless broken app. This issue hasn't been fixed for years. It only gets temporarily fixed by a Android update and breaks again when a google store update rolls out. If the app is outdated, it forces you to update or it kicks you out of it. There's no reason for me to keep it unless it bricks my device.
If its safe to do so, what is the approperate command?
I cant modify my phone as its not fully paid off yet, so adb is the only thing I can think of to do.
For few months I used stock N9860 (CHC), but after the Android 11 update Android Auto stopped working (in the car). I guess because of the side loaded of the Play Market etc. Resets, reinstalls etc. didn't help. So I've decided to accept the black side
Installed TGY Android 11 firmware (btw, downgrade to Android 10 is possible), rooted using @Mentalmuso TWRP and Magisk (now the phone shows scary red messages during the boot sequence , fixed SafetyNet check with the proper attestation so file and added native call recording and network indicator to the cscfeatures.xml.
As a result, Android 11 works fine, Android Auto works, Google Pay works etc.
And no more Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass and Secure Folder (I never use them).
Why I haven't done it earlier?
Don't you lose stuff like Netflix in HD, some banking apps, some games and so on.
I'm totally fine with TGY, android auto, banking apps, Samsung pay, Samsung secure folder and so on.
But if you are happy, then great for you!
As long as SafetyNet check is passed with the latest Google security updates it shouldn't be any issues with the apps. I see the Netflix in Play matket at least. (but I have no single reason to use it because of their territory based restrictions and availability of the plex + radarr + sonarr etc.)
The only inconvenience I have is the scary texts during the boot of the device

What network are you on?
Would you be able to point out on instructions on how to root our great device? I had S8, S10e and never rooted them but now since one fellow XDA member found a hack on how toake eSIM work I'm going to root but don't know how.
P.S. Also I'm on CHC region so Samsung Pay is useless for me there and I never used secure folder and stuff from Samsung.
A week has been passed since I rooted the device. So far so good. No issues, no glitches...

Mind sharing how you did it, mate?
Regardless of SafetyNet you will lose function of some Samsung app like secure folder or Samsung pay because it blows the fuse for Knox, after its blown there is no way to get it back. But if you don't care about those then I guess it's a win win.

FALSE
With magisk you overpass that stuff
I am rooted and can use properly any bank app, sPay, sHealth, Google pay ....

Really, I was not aware you could get around it. I was always under the impression once you trip Knox their is no way to get it back.
I'm actually happy to be wrong lol.
I've finally figured out the root cause of the issue I have and this is because of the "root", unfortunately.
To make Google Pay working, I need to apply "Universal SafetyNet Fix", it effectively disables hardware ctsProfile attestation and SafetyNet is green - Google Pay works fine. But. This fix breaks some crypto workflow internals (JNI can't check signature etc.) and StrongSwan VPN client can't do reauth (if you use certificate based authentication) - after the initial connect, in AUTH_LIFETIME timeout (usually it is 10-20 minutes), VPN tries to reauth and can't, so connection hangs.
So I have a sad choice - either Google Pay or VPN. I'll try to look into the sources of the fix and vpn client (both are open) but it takes so much time (workaround is to diasable ipsec reauth, but it weakens the security).
Any ideas much appreicated.

try using this module to pass safetynet instead. This worked for me but I am not using that VPN so can not really check.
