[Q] how to get rid of this? pic attached - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Note 3 SM-N900A was previously rooted with towelroot and after a few days, I decided to unroot via SuperSU.

I'm a noob so please bare with me

I believe you have to factory reset.

I think this is what I did to fix it.

The link you provided is to change boot animation and the custom padlock happens before that.
Xposed framework and wanam require root access. The o.p. has unrooted therefore they won't work.

@callmetwst are any apps that had root access still installed? When you had root access did you modify any system properties?

Its not much of a problem, but install xposed installer from the internet, then download wanam xposed within the app/play store. Restart phone after activating the module on from installer. Go to security hacks and click "Fake System Status". Restart phone. Voila! You won't see that problem any time soon after that.

Step 6: Navigate to System -> xbin and delete Busybox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296014
Worked on my Note 3.

Use Triangle Away from the Play Store. It'll reset the system status to official.
EDIT: never mind, I didn't see that you had unrooted. You could always re-root, then us a root file explorer to erase everything in system/xbin.

Re-root with Kingo then unroot with SuperSU. (Full unroot in the settings menu) After you restart the padlock should be gone. You may need to restart a second time so the system can switch back to Official status. I've done it twice now and it worked both times.

Download Wanam Xposed from the market. There's a hack in there to prevent the dreaded padlock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
Yup wanam solves it easily. First get Xposed framework, then install wanam, then in the security hack section in wanam, choose fake system status, reboot.

What IF they do a factory reset on the phone.....will this not just wipe the wanam exposed settings and BAM!!! the padlock will back and look even more like you messed up your phone?
i got my exchanged and had this same problem, they went through the phone scrupulously trying to find something that pointed to me tampering. they attempted to do a factory reset but with the state that i left my phone they could not even attempt that. but they tried, which will make your solution a Big Hell No once the reset brings that padlock back....they wont even talk to you anymore.

how did you reboot your phone? you have to use wanam's reboot option to do so, just so wanam can update things to the system. if you reboot by other means, especially by holding the power bottom and select reboot, it won't get ride of the pad lock.
We'll that explains it. In the mean time stupid AT&T updated my phone when I wasn't looking. I am now put to MJ5. I guess I can try to root with kingo.
Edessa Kingo will root MJ5. Im on MJ5 and rooted with Kingo. You may have to run program 5to6 times but it works

I got it to work by rooting and deleting busybox from system/bin and system/xbin. Which survives even after a factory reset. Was able to exchange the phone no problem after using full unroot from within SuPro. No padlock.

Can't Check for Software Updates?

Hey guys,
I am stock rooted on my Note 3. I only rooted to clean up most of the ATT bloatware that was installed; so that's all I've removed.
I can't check software updates. I tap and tap and tap the Software Updates button in the settings and nothing. I've tried restarting the phone and still nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Devices with root access can't check for software updates. Your device status is listed as "custom" once you root it.

Ok thanks. I guess I'll need to find out how to unroot it then. I've been wanting to check for the 4.4 update. I know it hasn't been OTA'd yet, but still want to be able to check.

Download Wanam from the playstore and install it. Also install the xposed framework if you haven't already. In wanam scroll down to "security hacks" and check "fake system status". Reboot and you should be able to check for updates while rooted.

Enable the checkmark. Then it may take a few reboots to make it work. (Make sure XPosed is enabled. I forgot that once.)

Pretty sure that's where I screwed myself. I uninstalled all that AT&T crap thinking it was bloatware. Sounds like I'll need to do a restore for a fresh flash of MJ5.

Ahh man that sucks! Looks like your learning your lesson the hard way.
This isn't directed at you, or any one person. But I don't know where you "I deleted bloat and need it now" people learned to delete stuff. BUT STOP DELETING LOL! You must always always always perform a complete app backup FIRST! I highly recommend titanium backup pro. Use it to backup EVERYTHING first. Freeze unwanted apps and use phone for 2 days. If device still works fine then uninstall the app, but keep the backup! A 5 minute backup saves you a 50min restore process.

When you first install Titanium backup pro you'll see a white box with a checkmark thru it on the top right. That's known as "Batch Actions". Within that menu you'll see category's like verify backups, backup, restore, move/integrate etc..... I recommend running "Backup all user apps + system data". The first time running is slow. Now you'll have EVERYthing backed up. Now to freeze an app, use the menu and scroll to desired app. Select it and choose "freeze". Now the frozen app will be highlighted as you scroll the list. Reboot and run the phone a day or 2. If no glitches arise and you need the space, you can "uninstall" the app. Uninstall it by selecting it and choosing "uninstall". After an app is uninstalled the backup you made will be allllll they way down the list with a line thru it. If you find out you need the uninstalled app, click it and select "restore" then choose "app only". If you choose "app+data" glitches can arise. Especially if you restore a backed up 4.3 app to a 4.4.2 rom.
I hope that lil rundown on titanium helps ya. If I am unclear like I have been before, feel free to shoot another question.

A factory reset can sometimes fix issues like this. It all depends on how the item was removed. Frozen apps will be restored. But deleted and blitzed apps don't come back from factory resets. You never know till you try, and it can't hurt to try since your about to reflash back to stock anyway. So give it a shot!

They were uninstalled, so if you are saying it doesn't come back, then I won't waste the time with the Factory Reset. I need to find a guide to flash back to stock. I don't know much about this phone and getting technical with it. I enjoyed it so much just the way it is.

Thank you, sir!
The only thing I have at the bottom that have lines through it are AT&T Smart Wi-fi" and "media."
I'll have to follow that thread.
Just out of curiosity, if I took my phone back into an AT&T store and asked them to complete wipe and restore it, do they have a full ROM that they would be putting back on? I wouldn't mind that since I would rather them do it since it's faster. Not much time to mess around with this right now.
A Samsung store should be able to. I'm unsure about an at&t store. Call one by you.

Shouldn't need to install the superuser app. It should already be installed.
Root again and watch the process. Particularly watch to see if the system and cache partition successfully mount or fail.

Can you post a screen shot of root validator so I can see what got installed.
If the partitions mount as you say then there may be a problem with the supersu script.
You should not have to install any superuser app or update the binary as the exploit uses the latest binaries.
I will be turning in for tonight so if you can get the screen shots of the process where it mounts the partitions and where it installs the supersu files and a screen shot from root validator that will give me something to look at tomorrow.

[Q] Snapchat blocking Xposed users?

So I did the dumb thing of accidently logging out of snapchat and now when i try to log back in it says, “Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again”. I tried on a phone without X-posed installed and logged in just fine. Is there any way to unistall the framework without having to reset my phone or is a reset the only way to fix the problem?

Sorry im late here is the link to the thread for the xposed installer http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758/page1
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------
Btw installing and uninstalling xposed takes time to boot. It takes around 2-5 minutes. Even when you will disable xposed using the xposed installer in the link above it might take atleast 1 min and if u didnt read in the thread you must uninstall the previous xposed installer on your device. Btw its mainly for lollipop and marshmallow. Not sure if it will work on older Android

Trouble with Xposed on Galaxy Note 5

I've tried installing Xposed several times now with no luck. I install in TWRP, reboot, and then my phone sits on a black screen with the blue light for forever until it goes to the Sprint LTE logo and then just stops there. I end up having to shut my phone down (which won't happen unless it's plugged in to charge), go back into TWRP, and then use the Xposed uninstaller. Then when I reboot, everything loads back up perfectly. I don't really know what's causing this? I apologize as I'm kind of a noob to rooting & such.
I have a Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920P on Android 6.0.1. Any advice?
(The only reason I really wanted to get Xposed is so I could install a module to bypass the root status for Snapchat...lol)

If you running stock 6.0.1 and not a CM ROM you need the specialized one for Samsung. Check this thread:

Don't forget after flashing it you should wipe caches, and it will take a little while to boot the first time after flashing Xposed

The file you sent worked great still can't get into Snapchat though, but that's another issue. RootCloak doesn't do anything for it.

Suhide hides root from snapchat, but Snapchat doesn't want you to have Xposed. There is a work around involving backing up app data on an unrooted, no Xposed phone and restoring that app data on rooted and Xposed phone

I have tried several things and have been unable to get Snapchat to login. I have a backup of a logged in Snapchat from an unrooted device and when I install it onto my rooted phone, the app just logs me out.

Maybe remove Xposed, then unroot, root systemless(at least SR2), root switch, then turn off root and login. Once logged in turn root back on and install Xposed. Should work

I'll try that. I flashed from Odin to wipe everything off and Snapchat works, but I don't have TWRP anymore. Even without Xposed and root, even when I JUST had TWRP, Snapchat wouldn't let me log in. But I'll try what you told me and hope it works

So after a bunch of trouble with my phone, I'm left with what I can only assume are leftover files of Xposed that I didn't get off my phone when I flashed the uninstall file. I'm not rooted and only have TWRP, but Snapchat still refuses to let me login.

Maybe do a factory reset to clear those out and see if snapchat will work

I ran the uninstaller for Xposed again and it seems to have wiped the rest of the files because snapchat now lets me login. Now time to follow the instructions you gave me before w/ systemless rooting my NAND is backed up too just in case I screw up again.
