Hello,
I have trawled google for some time looking for an answer. The best I've found is a non-root solution in using tasker and some other apps, but my device is rooted and I can't help but think there's a more direct course of action to remove this warning. For the record, #1: I don't really need it, and #2: the bt device I'm using it with is cheap and only goes so loud without maxing my tab volume.
Unfortunately, I have had almost no luck finding a root solution outlined for this or other devices - the non-root options sadly seem to swamp it in the search results. So, I'm asking here.
Does anyone know how I might accomplish this via root on my device?
Oh: And unfortunately it's not a variant that seems to have the option to turn this off via user-accessible audio settings. Already tried. Oh, and I'd like to avoid Xposed if possible - it seems to cause boot issues on my rom.

Okay, so, yes, I know to use the Search function, but alas all information is either outdated or there is no concise answers / solutions to be found. Trust me, I have scoured.
Overview: Okay so Thursday I bought an SGH-i337, being the nerd that I am knowing that I use MetroPCS (can't beat unlimited 4G LTE for $60) I scoured the net and researched ALL models of the S4 and G3. Decided the screen size of the G3 too big coming from a 5C. Decided Sprint's version might work, but not on 4G. Verizon, would switch from LTE to 2G with no 3G support, so that would be a desperation act, haha.
So, my main options were T-Mobile, then AT&T, because MetroPCS and T-Mobile were one and the same. All the people that had T-Mobile based phone sellers were being a pain in the butt to deal with... so, I found an AT&T owner that was ready.
The tragic love story: So on once I used the MicroSIM card in the S4 to cut an old full-size SIM to scale a border around my Nano SIM and finally got it placed perfectly to read... I was happy... which faded quickly as it was locked, how could I be so dumb!
So, the previous owner is now awaiting an unlock code as I found EVERY method to use the UMTS Menu is impossible to get to "[6] Phone Control" option. Due to that silly Auto Updating AT&T bloatware and Kernel upgrade/Firmware.
Okay, I should wait, but... does anyone know a way to get to the Phone Control menu using a secret code?? I have noticed some of the many codes go straight to the Debug Screen or go straight to the other menu options... so could there be one for Phone Control?
Also, maybe is there a way to get the phone to output the NCK Key manually connecting it to a computer and using a prompt? I may have heard about such a thing on SureWest routers through TelNet, to get the administration password... not that I personally have done this. Just feel like if these websites are able to use an IMEI number to charge you for a code... it has to be stored on the phone somewhere right?
Rooting and Downgrading
Also, has anyone tried the Odin way of downgrading and rooting these phones, has personally worked for them? I have found the threads on here and it seems pretty interesting... when I look at previous versions of Droid they look to allow more functionality for more advanced users than this 5.0, so if that be the case I am interested in taking this back to stock and beginning removal of all AT&T programs.
Maybe I am sounding like an idiot, but I have been on a Jailbroken 5C for... probably 2 years now and even with that it seems limiting to the curious, nerdy, mess with things side of me.
Summary:
- Should I just wait the 2-5 days for the code? / Would downgrading firmwares negate the entered NCK code if used prior to downgrade?
- Are there any known ways to unlock this model fully upgraded?
- Should I use the Odin methods of downgrading to stock? / Do you prefer previous versions over 5.0?
- What problems should have you guys faced / should I consider prior to doing anything?
- Should I just try to find a T-Mobile model of the S4??
Phew, sorry, if you read all of that and hate me for it, haha. Please, be knowledgable and not tell me how dumb I am for being so antsy to be able to use this phone w/o WiFi! Haha, you guys try using a 5C forever and see the screen difference / abilities you've been missing out on for so long!
Thanks!
The method of downgrading to 4.4.2 (aka NB1) then rooting and then going to lollipop by keeping the root has worked for me. There is no direct way, to root lollipop atm.
First downgrade to stock rootable 4.4.2. You can do this from any base, and/or use it if you mess your phone up (bootloops, etc). Link here. Second post on that thread, step 1. Make sure you download the rootable one.
To root it use TowelRoot. Run it - Tap make it ra1n - After a succeseful root, install SuperSU.
The follow this post here to goto stock rooted lollipop 5.0.1 (aka OC4). I recommend downloading the deodexed version, so you can install xposed if you want in the future.
Thats it for rooting lollipop. And now that you have root you can get rid of that bloatware.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I personally, don't really fancy lollipop. High Ram usage.
Secondly, i bought this phone on eBay and it came unlocked, and even after flashing different firmwares, its still unlocked. I think if you unlock using that NCK code, the phone will stay unlocked forever.
Thirdly, the T-Mobile version has an unlocked bootloader, which is a big up in comparison to the i337. We are restriced to only using one costum recovery, that is SafeStrap. Others, don't work.
Thank you
I will probably have to go through that whole process. Got it unlocked thankfully, but am feeling as though based on specs and the little apps I have installed the phone should be a bit smoother in basic functionality especially Web browsing.
So yeah definitely already feeling your point in resource hog and though I disabled the bloatware, I don't think it helps being installed.
Also, figuring out after using the phone in my car that Galaxy has very quiet audio output via the 1/8" headphone jack. Seems that you can find volume controlled headphones easier than just straight cords! However, found this a known issue for all Galaxies and rooting it may be the easiest workaround.
Thanks for the organized list of information/insight! Now I will have some more stuff to geek out on... ?

You're welcome
I don't know, but cranking the volume to full on my phone using earphones, makes my ears hurt . The audio output on mine is great, nothing modified.
Oh, if you decide to stick with kitkat, check out these posts. I'm sure they will come in handy for stock roms. Simply to make life easier.

Yeah, I'd say it's probably fine with headphones, but through a car's auxiliary it is probably 25-30% quieter than my iPhone even at "full" volume.
Read that there are files to modify, but you have to be rooted.
What is this Mobile Data Toggle? Would it be really at all useful seeing as I have MetroPCS? * I assume that ridding AT&T is just a general tweak, which I do like getting rid of the carrier.

Mobile data toggle is used to enable Internet from your carrier/sim. Ridding the AT&T thing is sorta general because you need to have root.
Had this phone for a few months and let me say I love it, but it gives me a major headache with all the hassle it gives me as far as things that come after rooting and things like Viper4Android. Never had so many problems in the past with things like this.
I can't for the life of me get this to work and was hoping that someone here on the forums can help me. Seeing as I'm in the military right now my schedule is kinda hectic.
So I installed busybox, and I am rooted. At the time I rooted there was just systemless root which is a pain in my ass.
When I open the apk it asks if I wish to install the drivers, and I click yes and it hangs for a second or two then quickly says it's installed when I know it's not. Im almost positive its suppose to ask which driver I want to install but it doesn't? What am I doing wrong here or how can I fix it? Also trying to use the app provided from XDA to change my selinux or w.e doesnt work either. Says it cannot get access to root from my super user manager which I find strange because everything else works.
Thanks for any help you guys can assist with!
This thread should give you all the answers you need for installing V4A.

ViPER install is a bit janky on the MXP for some reason, the only method in which I have gotten it to properly install is this one, written specifically for the MXP rather than the one above:

Be aware though that the libfiles .zip seems to be the culprit of some random, temporary bootloops that can be solved by simply hard rebooting again. I've tried to find a fix for this but sometimes it happens less often than others, and seems to be only an occasional occurrence.
Been testing Orion rom and it's very smooth and stable and... comes with viper.
Is there any alternative I can use? I don't want to go through some annoying bootloops and prefer to stay on my stock ROM. I'm mainly wanting this so i can be able to use an equalizer over Bluetooth with my Bluetooth earbuds. Anybody know any good alternatives? Thanks for the quick replies. You guys are awesome
That's funny the only boot loops I've had is on stock.
Do you know of any alternatives or a way I can get my stock equalizer to work over bluetooth?
My brother passed away and was using this phone until a couple of weeks ago. I don't have the lockscreen pattern but I'm trying to do a little detective work regarding my brothers last activity. I reached out to law enforcement, but they don't have an active investigation and they suggested that I reach out to his cell provider [Tracfone] which I might try. Of specific interest to me is his text message activity on the day of his death.
Anyhow I scoured the net and tried to beat the lockscreen via emergency dialer, and also tried to connect via adb shell and MTP. I also don't think the device was registered via the samsung tools. I'm at the point where the device told me I have 9 unlock attempts left and it will erase the device after. The lockscreen seems to appear at device power and I think that it might not have booted android completely at this point.
Is anybody aware of a method to bypass the lockscreen which would work on this device so I can look into the details surrounding his death?
Sort of desperate here. There seems to be some software called Dr Fone that claims to have a lockscreen removal. However not sure that it works and on this device.
I may have a solution for this if you are wanting to preserve data if not check around on youtube for a video on FRP resetting this. I might have wrote a tutorial on this somewhere but I cant remember atm. Basically if you don't want to preserve the devices data (your brothers as you say) then you will simply factory reset it and then follow an FRP Removal tutorial you can find on here and or youtube.
btw nice leet username =]

Speaking of nice usernames
If you're still around, I have an old J327t1 that I had dropped and broke the screen on a few years ago. I recently fixed it, but can't remember PIN. I would like to preserve the data and am interested in what you have

All you need to do is find a recovery for that and flash it then go into the lock files and remove those. You can find some guides here on XDA or on youtube.
This was before I got into development, so adb isn't enabled, bootloader is still locked, and the phone is not rooted, so I'm skeptical I'd be able to flash. It's also running (I believe) Marshmallow, and most of those "find and delete lock settings" methods were for 4.x Kit-Kat and below. I could be wrong though.
If you have a particular thread in your watch list, I'd be grateful for the link.
I've been all over looking for a solution, hence me posting in here as opposed to creating a thread. Didn't want to reinvent the wheel if I didn't have to.
Despite the above limitations, the device has not received any updates since June 2017, it DOES go into MTP mode when I hook it to my laptop, and I have verified that it is vulnerable to the Mtpwn exploit.

Also, I turned a moto g7 Play into a Nethunter device and had tried Android PIN Bruteforce, but after entering in so many PINs it would make me wait 30 seconds to try again and I couldn't figure out how to get my g7 to keep the screen of the J3 on. Or wake it back up, since it requires you to hit power then swipe the screen.
I ended up wiping it because it had Pie and no workaround for the wifi throttling, and installed Q. It's rooted, but I haven't set up nethunter back up on it yet. I do have an S5 that I has Nethunter, but haven't set it up with HID support yet. Plus, the battery on that would drain too quickly to use for this process.
Hello guys, I'm looking for a rom which is capable of:
- Autoboot my p9 lite if plugged on charge;
- Possibly remove the warning when starting the phone "Your device has been unlocked" which is annoying;
- Equalize the sound for the music (which is sent via bluetooth into my car) also with screen off (the current app i'm using doesn't work when screen is turned off);
- It would be great if it's some kind of android one with nothing else installed (except google services) for increase the speed of the phone.
The phone is permanently placed and connected into my car and it's used with android auto and AA mirror and it gets the connection with an hotspot.
If the majority of my requests can be done without changing the rom that would be ok too.
Thank you guys

Hello dude,
except for first point, cause i don't know what you mean,
i will suggest to stay with stock firmware...
I don't think you can remove the boot warning screen... or
even if it's possible, i never seen anything related for this device...
Search for dolby in EliteRom thread, it should work
and sound become fantastic (you need root for this).
If you will use Youtube (ad) vanced this will allow
the device to play with the screen off (root not mandatory).
Another way is to use Brave browser that have that
functionality inside, just activate it...
Last thing is to freeze/deactivate all apps/services you
don't need, in order to gain more ram and fluidity/speed.
If you will root with Magisk you could use debloat module
and 'systemless' throw away everything you don't really need..
Cheers

i just installed lineage.
For the first point I meant the possibility that the phone boots up itself when it's shutted down and plugged on charge.
I had to install SuperSU because Magisk loopbooted the phone multiple times.
Is there anyway to uninstall Sound FX (comes with Lineage) which isn't working on bluetooth but makes conflict with other equalizers?
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
i never seen, till now, a rom with this functionality..
To uninstall FX you should try with a root manager,
but i think it should be sufficient to deactivate/freeze the app.
Those custom roms are for best privacy but often
many features are not available or not working properly ...
Hope you done a backup of your stock rom...
Cheers dude
Sorry if this is wrong place or way to post on here. I am wanting to root the on5 but it is a learning experience. No pc to use. Is there a apk that actually works. Tried kingroot it says device not supported
I have developer options on and the oem toggle on am I ok with that. If anyone has the time and patience and could walk me through how to get going please let me know. Thanks

Guess I came to the wrong place for advicre
I'm curious too.
You're not the only one who would like to know, but this is an older ( & apparently not widely used) phone that hasn't been sold for a few years so you may not get any answers.
Yea It's was one of my old ones. Wanted to use it to learn. Any suggestions on a older phone that rooting would be simple.? Can a phone be rooted without a computer I've read so much that says either but doesn't sound like it would.

Sorry for the late reply. It's my current phone & the storage issues are just getting to be ridiculous otherwise I wouldn't be interested in rooting because of the risk of bricking/voiding warranty etc; but I don't know anything else to do. I know that it's possible to root with an app, but it depends on finding a vulnerability that can be exploited with your specific phone. It's different for every phone. If you choose to install a custom ROM you should find one made for your phone too otherwise you're likely to have problems if you try it on a phone that you intend to actually use for calls/texts etc; I had an HTC droid Eris years ago & used a one-click root app & it worked without any problem that I could tell, but it was a phone I wasn't using as my daily driver too, so I wasn't worried about voiding the warranty/radios not working etc;. Cell & sometimes bluetooth & wifi radios not working are common issues with newer ROMs or especially if you choose a ROM not made for your phone. With the Eris I just installed the app, pressed the button & it rebooted, installed a custom recovery & booted into the OS. With the On5 either there isn't a known exploit or there's just nobody willing or able to look for one or both. They would have to still have the phone to be able to look for one. If you have a flea market near you maybe you could go there & see if there's a phone store that you could get an old cheap one you could practice on? I don't remember the app I used, but I'm pretty sure it came from the play store. It seems like I read somewhere that HTC phones were easier to root, but I'm not sure.
