Background: I'm on a stock rooted rom. After I rooted Private Mode still worked. Now it does not for some reason.
So I have a few questions.
1. Any idea of where private mode stores the files? I had a few GB of data stored in there, now that its not working I want to make sure I no longer have those files clogging up precious GBs on device storage.
2. Is the only way to get it back is to re-flash the stock rom?
3. I think I might have broken Private Mode by trying out ART. Now when I go into Developer Options, I notice that it always says Dalvik....When I switch to ART and reboot, and check the Developer options, it still says Dalvik. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for any thoughts

1. It doesn't double up your data, Private Mode only encrypt your data which you want to keep your data safe, so it's just right where your data is supposed to be
2. Unless you disable your private mode before re-flash rom, you will lose access to your encrypted data. what's the point of privacy when you just simply reflash to get yours back, so anyone can do that
3. You might be using xposed framework, it will not let you switch to ART runtime

1. I'm not worried about doubling up on data, just don't want tobstorr files I can no longer access.
Unfortunately your answer about the files are where they are supposed to be isn't descriptive enough. The files I had in private mode were originally on my SD card but with private mode enabled I used the Samsung My Files app to move them to the private folder in that app. So it moved those files just not sure where.
2.I'm not trying to regain access to those files just asking a general question about getting private mode functional again. Is the only way to refladh a stock ROM.
3. I'm fairly certain I didn't install xposed.
I'm going to dive into a few other threads. I see there are files I can modify to manually switch between the two. I'll make sure I'm not in ART.
thanks!!

1. Private Mode doesn't move your files to anywhere, your files are located at their original place. It just encrypted your data with a 'key' and use that 'key' to mark and decrypt them when needed
2. I'm not sure about this, but it seems to me that you will have to reflash a Stock Rom again.
3. Are you on Stock Rom? ART runtime seems not to work well with deodexed ROM.

1. When added files to the Private Files folder (Only visible in Private Mode) in the stock Samsung My Files app, those files were moved from my SD card to internal memory. I verified this by checking the storage usage. SD card usage was decremented by the same amount the internal storage increased.
2. I was afraid of that. Not sure I'll actually do it.
3. 100% certain stock room, just rooted with Chainfire. Odexed and everything.
I might have to do some additional reading. I know that after you root you have the option to disable Knox (which breaks private mode). I didn't disable knox, but I'll research which processes are frozen/stopped by disabling knox and see if restarting them can get private mode working again.... or if its even possible perhaps reinstalling knox/private mode without re-flashing.
Hello
i try to update yearly, and I tend to set it and forget it.
I am still using Samsung S4 sprint (jfltespr) with Cyanogenmod 13 (android 6) and I would like to update: some as there is some funk with receiving MMS messages and I would like to get some of the security updates to harden a bit.
Ideally I would have liked to go to lineageOS, but there is no maintainer. I think that I have seen some forks (but not quite sure)
I have been leaning toward Vanir... seems to have a following and there is activity.
I have backed up the existing setup by rebooting into recovery (clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.7);
I noticed that once I rebooted that when I use a file manger to navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/ the folder is empty.
However, when I reboot into clockworkmod recovery and I select to install a zip from sdcard/clockworkmod/ the backup folder shows with a file to install (with the filename as the date I performed the backup).
why cant I view the file in a file manager such as solid explorer?
The only thing that I can think of, which is different from any time in the past, is that I selected for android 6 to treat the sd card as internal storage.
Will this affect any processes if I wanted to install a new ROM?
Kinda Stumped on exactly how to proceed.
the data that I would like to keep could be archived to my nextcloud server.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you for your time

Hi.
I need guidance on how to decrypt and mount my phone's encrypted "sdcard" storage so I can take a backup. (Alternatively, I would like some form of statement saying that even if I dirty flash, and then log into my Google account, I would be able to access my encrypted data. I doubt this is possible; I believe encryption to be unique per installation.)
My beloved OP5 was beginning to get sluggish (and sometimes wouldn't store photos I would take without having unlocked the phone), so after ~1.000hrs uptime I rebooted it. And now, it's stuck at "Phone is starting" displayed over my lock screen wallpaper. It can't seem to get past this stage, it will stay that way even if left overnight. My daily alarm seems to function normally, and I can access the notification drop-down -- and through that the Settings app.
It's running OxygenOS 10.0.0, with the latest OTA update. It is rooted and has the latest TWRP recovery and Magisk (solely for root, no Magisk modules installed).
Through the Settings app, I can see that the Default App registered for "Home app" is "None" -- wtf? Clicking it gives me no options (pretty much just a blank screen), although there is the stock launcher as well as ADW launcher (which I prefer, and had as default prior to the reboot).
I have tried wiping the cache and Dalvik. I have tinkered with turning lock screen settings (code, pin, pattern, etc) on and off, but found that anything other than the pattern would not allow me to access TWRP because that one either shows a pattern input, or a password input that accepts neither a pin, a password, nor my Google password. That is to say, using the pattern code, I can make full use of TWRP but apparently to no effect.
I have read that a factory reset "should" fix this, but I am running with an encrypted file system and thus I cannot simply make a data dump from TWRP. Also, although I can access the "USB preferences" setting (which I have set to default to "File transfer" anyhow), I cannot get it to mount on my Linux workstation (which has not been a problem before) -- I do get a device named "20160907_11062618" with the autorun.inf and such files, but the "OnePlus" device will not mount via MTP.
What else can I try to recover my encrypted data, before I inevitably re-flash this device? Can I use fastboot to decrypt and mount the phone's "sdcard" storage on my workstation, if so with which commands?
Ahr well ... I did not find any way around this...
I did a factory reset ---losing all my encrypted data in "/sdcard"--- and started over.

In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.
Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.
Then go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear storage
Do I need to re-certify it ?
"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

I have just followed this to update my T719 tablet. All seems to work other than the camera, when you try to open the camera app it freezes before eventually saying 'unable to connect to camera', then closes. Have tried another camera app but still get the same issue. Is this a known error?
Thanks

Hi @smarty79 , yes camera doesn't work.
I will be more precise about it.
Thx for reporting

Hi, you have to be careful and download ROM according to your model.
EDIT: yes Data and camera are not working.
Sadly you won't find a ROM with these. Or tell me which one.
You may try this Oreo for camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-resurrection-remix-os-6-2-x-discont.3865882/

I haven't downloaded any custom ROM yet since I need the Radio Interface Layer funcionality as well as the camera.

LineageOS 16 has RIL working, at least on the T719.
succefully installed. Thnak you !
Tutorial updated for Netflix and Disney+
sorry for this but i failed and i need help
i did every thing until wipe but afterwards my PC unable to see device folders so i can load the files
side note: didn't backup also so stuck on recovery screen
help please!!!
Thanks for this, works exactly as stated...
However I misread it, "### Camera doesn't work, 3G/Data network doesn't work" - I thought oh I don't care about 3G, I'm always connected to LTE without my brain acknowledging that it's all cellular connectivity not just 3G. DOH.
Is there anything available for SM-T817V? Looking desperate help to update Android 10.
Thanks

When I boot, I end up back in the TWRP main menu. I've tried:
"Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install" after:
"Then tap on Install > choose los*.zip,
then Add more zips and select opengapps*.zip,"
(advice given in another forum) but it makes no difference: LineageOS animation continued for several minutes, then I get into RECOVERY REBOOT and back to TWRP menu.

Hi @Tetenterre,
first boot leads to bootloop.
Flash > boot > force reboot and wait
Thanks for your reply, djibe89 - when I do that (ie Power & Volume down), I end up back in TWRP.
Installed successfully by following your guide to a T (although I used the latest TWRP). I know support for this old girl has probably reached it's limit, but it was tough to find the ROM file (most links in the thread are dead - had to use one from archive.org)
Thanks a lot for putting this together!

Thanks for telling me. It's hard to keep up with all the models I support.

I have moved a file that i should flash in the phone internal storage, but when i try opening the /sdcard directory i can only see some folders with random names.
So i think that the sdcard is encrypted because when the phone boots to system the files are here.
I need to know how to disable the internal storage encryption at least when i am in recovery mode.

There's really only two ways to get around this - one is by disabling encryption (from within system), and the other is by decrypting in TWRP. If TWRP is not able to decrypt using PIN/password/pattern, that leaves you with only one option.
