Hi everyone,
I bought my s10+ second hand last december.
Today during quarantine I wanted to see how much I walked today and tried opening the app.
However, i get an error message when opening the app.
Access denied.
Unauthorized changes were made to your phone. Contact customer service for more information.
As far as i know my phone is not rooted, tried numerous apps but they all say its not rooted.
In the device status it also says official.
I do however get a message when i restart my phone regarding Knox not working.
How can this be fixed?
Which variant do you have? It sounds like it's a U.S. model that someone tried to root or is an exynos model that someone rooted then unrooted.

I have the SM-G975F variant, which is the Exynos model.
I think its the last one, rooted and then unrooted.
Anything I can do about this?
You can try a factory data reset OR reflash the latest stock firmware using Odin, but that may not fix it. From what I have read once knox is tripped that's it, it doesn't work again. I could be wrong though.

Tried the factory reset already before, didn't help. Don't have any experience with Odin unfortunately.
I will look for a similar app, but thank you anyway.

So, I was going to use Cf-Auroroot like I have for every other Samsung device I've got but apparently there's an issue with it for the N915G.
What I did was put the latest super su file (i used v2.40) on my external SD card and then in Odin flash the latest TWRP recovery from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993 (you can also use the sd card fix from here too, flash in TWRP, just install supersu, then add another flash file and install the sd card fix).
Go to recovery mode and flash super su.
I found it had an error flashing cache but a factory reset fixed this so best done BEFORE setting everything up.
Let phone reset, set it up and you now have root access with a clean install of stock rom.
Happy days.
This worked fine for me and left out the step of flashing CF-Autoroot which wasn't needed.
You will still trip Knox.
I don't know if this will work flawlessly for you or for all models, especially if the bootloader is locked, but theoretically it should.
Good luck guys, happy flashing.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR...:laugh:
Root for Lollipop
Thanks I have the 915g also and I used your method for Kitkat it worked flawlessly thank you I want to install lollipop now and I want to root again what method do I use and could you point me in the right direction please

Exactly the same method... I believe Twrp 2.8.5.0 and Supersu 2.4.6 were what I used to root Lollipop...

It seems to work on most variants, except those with locked bootloaders..
If it didn't I don't know why.
A lot of people have rooted their device this way....

You should not have many issues with 5.0.1. What you need to do after flashing the 5.0.1...you need to reset to factory setting. Im sure by now you know when upgrading..you still keep data from the kitkat. This may cause conflict and issues. At the moment the only issue i had is sometime i get that contact closed notifications. I have google this issue...seem like it happen to other phones to with early 5.0.1. For me im ok...cause it only happen very rarely...i hope a much later lollipop will fix this issues.

Aussie 915G is unlocked. As far as I know so are all others...
Mentioned locked bootloaders as this will work on other models too...
Got my SM-915G, and got it rooted and TWRP installed following you method. It is working with AT&T and I am getting LTE data speeds, but it is struggling on voice network. hardly any bars are visible on the signal strength icon.
Is there any solution?

Possibly flashing the modem and non-HLOS.bin for AT&T.
I can't really say as I live in Oz and have no problems with voice calls...
I do find that my bars don't tend to go over 3 or more than halfway but that could be due to where I live and the crappy coverage we get here... No problem with voice calls though...
I am not sure if I can install SM-N915A modem on 915G.
Can someone confirm if that is possible, if so, what version?
tell me one thing is xposed framework and freedom app now working on note edge 915G lollipop
Nope. Better stick with Kitkat if you intend to use Freedom and Xposed.
This method trips knox?

Oh well, no way around it then. Warranty is for the timid anyway lol. Gotta pay to play.
I had issues so I tried various things and have no luck. I had a rooted S5 on lollipop and now I have actually broke the phone part and unable to make calls. What I want to do is find a way to keep the constant message "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. I have done a factory reset and lost everything. no biggie but I would like to get my phone back and still keep root. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I was told I would get more replies in this forum but so far nothing.. I am desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if posted in the Questions and answers section...that section gets more traffic
I did first
Just tried Towelroot but I am unable to connect to the internet at all with my phone.
sounds like you may need to load a factory firmware with PIT file using ODIN.
OK where is that located?
I have odin 3.9
sammobile dot com / firmwares
find your model (G900V) and download latest firmware to flash. Looks like BOE1 was added last week.
You may want to try an older 4.4.2 rom, but it is my understanding that Verizon has a locked bootloader, and you can't downgrade once you already have 5.0 on your phone.
Thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am back to normal again. Appreciate it very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK I lost root, what do I install now running lollipop
I have searched for many hours and haven't found anything. If anyoone has a process that works on 900V verizon S5, please let me know the process. (and i just bought Titanium backup). ugggg .. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, if you went the prerooted way i think you could have downgraded, but since you have odined the full lollipop stock you cant downgrade as far as i know.

Go to a repair center, Samsung, and ask for a solution.

Once you root you lose knox. No way around it.

You would have to reinstall the stock firmware back onto your device.
You've broken KNOX now, even flashing stock firmware won't bring it back. Only Samsung can reset it.

actually not even samsung can reset... its motherboard thing... change motherboard and you will get back knox.
First of all, this is my first post and I don't know it it's in the right place. If not could someone please move it to the right area? Alright, so, my issue is that I rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and then the screen broke. I was lucky enough to be able to re-flash the phone with a stock ROM (Even with the bloatware!(Only time I think I will say that in a good way!)). I still need a way to remove the root so I can send it in and try to cash in on the warranty. I would be okay with paying for the repair but Samsung is currently closed to all non warranty repairs at the moment and really need my phone back. The phone is pretty much unusable, as whenever I open an app the screen goes all green and I cant see anything. It is definitely a hardware issue so please don't try to tell me to try things to fix it. I will be able to post all information needed by anyone that thinks they can help. It is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
If you reflashed to stock rom, it'd mean you are no longer rooted.
If not, did you root using CF-Autoroot? If so, just download SuperSU from playstore and go to the settings and select full unroot.
But since you've rooted it in the past, you have already tripped your Knox counter and there's no way (that XDA knows about) to change that.
So if your samsung store check this, you're pretty much stuffed unless you take it to 3rd party repairs.

The root was supposed to not trip KNOX and I even was able to download an app that checked KNOX and the app said it was intact. I am going to send it in and see what happens.

There is no no-knox root, so either you haven't been rooted or that app was lying to you

Excellent! I wanted some confirmation from someone with the same phone (unlocked AT&T on N.)
Have you remained rooted since? I'm hearing mixed reports about performance and things stop working.) My primary concern though is our locked bootloaders. If we make changes that cause problems can we undo it? Like flashing the stock firmware? Thanks

Yes, I have remained rooted, but I ended up going back to stock G935A and then rooting again with that procedure. Personally, I was not getting the performance I was used to with the G935U as I was with the G935A with the root procedure.
Yes, there are some things that do not work with these eng.imgs that are being used to root the phones. There is NO Xposed for this one, Samsung Pay does not work, but I have been using Android Pay and it works just fine. As for the Bootloader, it is still LOCKED. There has not been any Unlocked bootloaders for the G935 or G930 so far and I don't think we will see it anytime soon.
As for Undoing, yes. There is a very simple way to go back to stock with Odin. In fact, about once a month, I return to stock just so I can get the latest security patch and then re-root my phone back to this way. I know it is somewhat of a pain, but with Titanium Back up I can get my phone back to running normally in a couple of hours.
Hope this helps...
It's not quite as fast, but if you are backing up and restoring to the same device, you can just use ADB. I still have a TiBu license, and use it on my Tab S2, but I have largely adapted to not having root on my S7 by taking advantage of basic ADB features.

One followup--when you say Xposed doesn't work, do you mean you tried the newest Nougat version that just got released? Or it never worked, not even on M?

What I meant was Xposed doesn't work on the current version of root using the eng.img. I have not tried using the NEW Xposed that is in THIS thread. I have looked at it but have not had a chance to run the zipped file and installing it. I know it works with MM as I had it working GREAT with MM and the eng.img with that version. I love Xposed and wish that was available for Nougat and N's root. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be fully implemented soon.

I tried this 4 times and failed. The problem is it just keeps rebooting (about every 45 to 60 seconds) after I flash the eng boot img. Im never able to run adb commands. If I start from a clean slate I can't even make it past the setup screens to enable debugging.
I'm reaching out to you because you succeeded with the same model SM-G935U
So I'm just seeing if you have any insights. My phone should be the same as yours. Only difference is mine came with 7.0 preinstalled. Maybe an earlier firmware? But that doesn't make sense because people are, to my understanding, using the eng boot with recent firmware.
I'll repost in the root thread if I need to but thought I'd see if you have anything to offer. Thanks

I seem to remember the constant rebooting on the U-Firmware also. I too kept trying and it finally took. I think I would take the OTA from the server and try to install the eng.img with Odin. When you do this, does Odin give you any errors? Or does it succeed at the installation?
It has been a few months since I rooted the U-Firmware so not for sure what fixed the rooting process. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Thanks. No Odin works perfectly whether I flash eng boot or stock.
I looked at the root guide for Sprint and the process is a lot more involved. I believe he boots to recovery twice and wipes cache plus factory reset twice. He also stresses to get the root.bat run quickly to avoid bootloop.
Might be worth a shot but the process of running Odin, getting back to stock and restoring all my data winds up being close to a few hours so It'd be very helpful to find someone with the same issue as me who was able to resolve it.
