Hey,
I finally got Call and Message Continuity on S5E LTE working.
First you have to root your S5E ( Instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t3926742/page2 )
Then download the APK for call and message continuity from internet, copy it to device.
Boot your tablet in "Rooted mode"(vol up and power)
Install the APK via "FX Explorer" with root addon enabled (click on open with and then select FX Root installer, will fail ). Then in FX Explorer copy the app to /system/app/ ( create a new folder, mine is called . CMC). Reboot phone into magisk mode again - it should be visible in settings now. However if you click to enable it you cant as you currently cant add your samsung account.
Reboot your tablet once more, this time in "normal" unrooted mode - add samsung account - done.
Update 09/29/20:
1. The latest Samsung Health Monitor Version 1..1.0.175.Caravana (Thanks Caravana for the Mod) Download
This tutorial should work on all Android Phones to enable ECG for your Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2. BP might also work the same way when it is released in the US.
Basic idea is to create your own certificate to sign ECG.tpk application and install it on your watch, then install the Samsung Health Monitor Mod app on your phone.
I have read lots of threads on XDA and can't find a complete tutorial about how to do it for Galaxy Watch 3 or Active 2. Hope this step-by-step tutorial will help. The whole process took me around 30 mins, it shouldn't be very hard. Make sure you back-up your watch first, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to restore data.
You will need an Android Phone, a Windows PC and Galaxy Watch 3/Active 2 watch for this tutorial. And a wireless network.
Downloads:
1. Download Java for Windows offline (64 bit) https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and install it.
2. Download JavaSE/Oracle JDK https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Click "JDK Download" from the top the latest version, then it will direct you to a new page, find "Windows x64 Installer" click the download page from the page and install it.
3. Download Tizen SDK https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/download Download Latest Tizen Studio with IDE installer, click "64 Bit" to download and install it.

7. Open Tizen "Device Manager" from the PC.
8. Click the "Remote Device Manager" icon from top right corner.
9. From pop-up windows, click the "Scan Devices" icon from the top right corner.
10. Once it find your watch turn the connection switch to on. and close pop-up windows. At this time, you should able to see lots of debugging information from Device Manager. (If you don't see debug information, try these steps: 1. Turn off your windows firewall 2. turn off bluetooth&GPS on your watch 3. reboot your watch )
11. Go back to Tizen Certificate Manager, step 9.8, we can see one DUID has been added automatically. Click next.
12. It will show your certificate has been saved at C:/Users/USERNAME/SamsungCertificate/cert_name, Click Finish.

19. Now go to "Device Manager", right-click your device, choose "install app", Select ecg.tpk file from C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\Fit2Installer\install_me.
20. Wait a few seconds, you should see ECG app has been installed on your watch. Open it.
21. Open the "Samsung Health Monitor" app from your phone, you should be able to read the ECG data from your watch now.
As Blood Pressure has not been released in the U.S, once it released, you should be able to activate for Non-Samsung phone the same way. You can disable debug mode if you want now.
Enjoy!

Nice! I'm in the process of following this guide at the moment. Tizen Studio's package installers are so slow!
Nice to have well documented details! kudos
Step 6. I don't have a Samsung logo. When I click the + in certificate manager it just asks me for a certificate profile name
Is there a risk of voiding the warranty or bricking the watch doing this?
Is there an IPA file for this that can be sideloaded onto an iphone? I'm no expert at this stuff and have only followed the great instructions here before so not sure. Or is there any way to connect my GW3 to my Samsu g Tab S6 on Verizon that shares my iPhone number? I'd like to get the Health Monitor app features as I really don't want to go back to an apple watch.
Supposedly on tizen 5 there is no bp.tpk - ecg and bp are now both in ecg.tpk. installing old ecg.tpk may be main reason for bp not to work. Did anyone try to follow the tutorial but use new ecg.tpk? Does ecg.tpk need to be specialy prepared to by signed with certificate or can we do it with new ecg.tpk that has been posted by caravana?
Can there be a mess if in the future I change my phone and take a samsung?
Does the smartwatch remain unaffected? Will I always have to update it manually?
Works great!

hide it in magisk hide section of Magisk manager app.
Also, make sure you're passing safetynet on magisk manager & from manager's settings, enable magisk hide, also hide magisk manager & give it another name.

Thank you very much!! @xxstd
I had some problems running "sign.bat" due to relative path command routes, but after "customizing" the script changing to absolute path, all went ok.
I've signed BP.tpk and ECG.tpk and both are running OK in my GW3. I live in Spain, and here in Europe neither ECG nor BP are approved, so it is not the reason your BP tpk is not working IMHO.

Can you confirm the Tizen version from your watch? I know if you are runing Tizen 4.0.0.8 you could get BP works as well. Only ECG for Tizen 5.

Hmm, are you using the latest version Tizen SDK? Mine is Tizen Studio 3.7, they might change the UI a little bit for different versions.

Well, as the debugging mode has been enabled, if you tell Samsung they will possibly decline the warranty since they don't know what you have done to the watch...... But you can always turn it off, and reset the watch anytime you want.
See post #3 for in depth guide !
->insert usual general disclaimer of liability
Required:
Odin3_v3.14.1 flash tool
Samsung USB Driver installed
Frija or something else, to download stock files
7zip or similar
1: Unlock bootloader (will wipe your precious data, void warranty, break Knox e-fuse and who knows what else !)
-unlock dev option (just harass your Build number in settings)
-be connected to the internet (WiFi or 5g)
-allow USB debugging
-OEM unlock
-be warned that this might cause WWIII
-Power off your device. Press Volume Up + Volume Down THEN plug your Tablet lnto a PC to boot into download mode.
-Release buttons immediately when the blue screen shows itself.
-Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
-Go through the initial setup.
-Skip through all the steps except wifi or 5g
-sign into your Google or Samsung account
-Enable Developer options & USB debugging
-reboot
-You have an unlock bootloader and have control over your device, (it is unfair that this voids your warranty as you should be able to use your hardware as you please).
2: Root install:
-Install Magisk
-use frija or something else to get the latest file according to your device and your CSC :
-patch the whole AP file with magisk (transfer of big files can be tricky, using SD card to transfer file from computer to tablet and vice versa seems like one if the easiest way)
-use odin to flash AP (the patched one), CP, BL and CSC (will wipe once again and reboot)
-Open magisk to finish install (reboot)
-You have root
3: Root update:
-use Frija or something else to get the latest file according to your device and your CSC :
-patch the whole AP file with magisk
-use Odin to flash AP (the patched one), CP, BL and Home_CSC (using CSC will wipe)
-Press and hold Vol-down and Power let go of all buttons once the screen turn on.
-You have root, data kept and update
Please let me know if something should be added or edited.
Hi @Vinsang! Thanks for the nice post. I'd like to suggest you edit the type of thread this is and make it a "How To Guide" instead of "Question" thread. That will help it stand out, especially if anyone uses the Quick Filters at the top of the list of threads in this section.
Edit: Thanks for changing it. Cheers!

Settings > About Tablet > Software Information > Click Build Number 7 times quickly
Developer Options (just below About Tablet on the left column)
Turn on USB Debugging
Reboot the tablet
Step 2 - Patch the stock firmware to make it rooted
Frija should have finished downloading by now, unzip the file (remember where you unzipped it to)
Plug your tablet in to your computer via USB and click Allow if it prompts to allow data access
If this is your first install / you're rooting the tablet for the first time:
Download Magisk-vXX.XX.apk from the topmost release at https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Copy the Magisk-vXX.XX.apk and the AP_xxx_xxx_tar.md5 from the zip file Frija downloaded to:
This PC > Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra > Internal Storage > Download
Open the My Files app on the tablet and browse to Downloads
Click the Magisk-vXX.XX.apk and it will prompt you to click Settings
In Settings, turn on My Files, then it will give you a prompt to Install

Click volume up (the side of volume nearest the power) briefly (don't hold it) to go into download mode
Start Odin and accept the disclaimer prompt
Click BL and select the BL_XXX_XXX.tar.md5 file where you unzipped the zip file from Frija
Click AP and select the magisk_patched-XXX.tar file
If this is your first install / you're rooting the tablet for the first time (this WILL wipe your data):
Click CSC and select the CSC_XXX_XXX.tar.md5
If your tablet was already rooted, and you're just updating (this WILL NOT wipe your data):
Click CSC and select the HOME_CSC_XXX_XXX.tar.md5
Odin should now look like this:
Click Start. When it's finished, Odin will display "PASS!" and the tablet will automatically reboot.
Step 4 - Verify and finalize
Go through the normal setup, signing in to your Google and Samsung accounts this time
Click on Magisk that is now pre-installed, and go through the Settings step to allow it to install again
It should prompt you that your device needs additional setup and one more reboot, click OK
After rebooting, your device should be fully rooted. Use a root checker app if you want to verify.
Step 5 (optional) - Get Netflix (and banking apps etc) working with root
Install https://github.com/Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager/releases and run it
Search for Universal Safetynet Fix by kdrag0n and install it
In Magisk settings click Systemless hosts, turn on Zygisk, turn on Enforce Denylist
Click Configure Denylist, then the 3 dot menu and Show System Apps
Search for Google Play Store, click it, check the check and turn on all options underneath
Search for Google Play Services, click it, turn on .gms and .gms.unstable ONLY
Search for Netflix, click it, check the check and turn on all options underneath
(optional) Add your bank / pay app, etc here if you'd like
In Settings > Apps, search for Google Play Services and Google Play Store and clear all data (not just cache) for each
Reboot
NOTE - This is currently only passing Widevine level 3, so Netflix is limited to SD. I'm still trying to figure out how to get L1 / full HD.
Is there currently any way to make nandroid backups without TWRP since there isn't a build of it for the Tab S8 line yet?

Not you can't make a full nandroid back up without TWRP for the moment. You can use Swift backup or something similar to backup some things in particular, Google backup is also pretty convenient.
Anyone work out how to get Netflix working with root yet? Also, is Magisk manager showing any modules to download in the Magisk app for you guys? I can install from file, but the downloading functionality doesn't seem to be working.
Dunno about Netflix, but this worked for banking apps:
Add this module : https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
Zigisk and enforced denylist on and add Netflix (or other) in the deny list. Reboot and tryout.
It seemed that the download section isn't there anymore on the latest magisk, same on other devices. You gotta download them separately.

Not sure when, but somewhere in an update, the ability to download modules from magisk directly was removed. You can download them using an app called Fox's Magisk Module Manager. You can search for modules just like you could on Magisk, and they'll be added once you install them and reboot. Also, for the netflix thing, your device may not be passing safetynet. Checking this was also remove in an update, but you can check it with YASNAC.
Edit: I just did this with my rooted Tab S7+, but it should work with the S8+ and S8U as well. Doing this should let you pass safetynet and be able to use Netflix.
1. Enable Zygisk in Magisk settings, then reboot.
2. Enable Enforce DenyList in Magisk settings, then go to Configure DenyList.
3. Enable show system apps with the menu on the top-right, then search "google play services".
4. Enable DenyList for com.google.android.gms & com.google.android.gms.unstable, then reboot.
5. Open YASNAC to run safetynet attestation, you should be passing basic integrity but failing cts profile match.
6. Download and install the latest version of the safetynet fix for zygisk module, then reboot.
7. Check YASNAC again, you should now be passing basic integrity and cts profile match.
8. Go to settings > apps, find google play service & google play store, clear data for both of them, reboot.
9. Go to the play store > settings, play protect certification should now say "device is certified".
10. Open Magisk > Configure DenyList, search for Netflix (enable show system apps if you need to), enable DenyList for everything, reboot.
11. Update Netflix if it's not up to date. If the play store is allowing you to update Netflix at all, then you're good to go.
Now you have Netflix running on your rooted tab!
Edit 2: Accidentally saved my first edit before I finished the instructions, my bad.

Excellent guide. I just had my OOBI this morning & I forgot about having to change the date to an earlier one, check for a software update, etc before being able to see OEM unlock in developer settings. But that's a one & done.

To download magisk modules use this app; https://github.com/Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager
To hide root you can try this:
1. Magisk -> Settings -> Hide the Magisk app (It will get a new random package name so other apps won't see that it's actually Magisk and additionally you can choose a new name for the app as well.)
2. Open the newly created magisk app, install extra files when prompted and tab will reboot automatically.
3. Flash MagiskHide Props Config https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf/releases
4. Reboot
5. Flash Universal Safetynet Fix https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
6. Reboot

After checking Frija, found that an update was available fro my SM-X906B EUX, Just updated to X906BXXU1AVCD/X906BOXM1AVCD/X906BXXU1AVCD using step 3 of the guide without issue (root and data kept).
Is there a way to be notify when an update is out ? Or do i have to manually check every month?
Do we have changelog or something similar?

Someone else had given the link to this site (for your model) https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-X906B.
No automatic notifications, but I use a Windows program that checks sites for updates (https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-X900 for my model, which won't arrive for another 12 days).

Quick question. If another software update were to come out, could I update it and still have magisk and root access afterwards? My Tab S8+ says its device status is official, and it doesn't tell me that my device is rooted when I connect to the server to check for updates. So, if I updated this way, would that remove the whole patching the AP file with magisk and flashing it with Odin thing? It'd be awesome to have the latest updates and such while maintaining root access.
To keep root and your data while updating, follow the step 3 of the guide in post #1( it requires that you look manually for updates).
I wouldn't advise to update via OTA while rooted. I don't even think you'll get the prompts.

That's odd because I got the prompt to update on my rooted Tab S7+ (it also says the device status is official) when the OneUI 4.1 update came out for it. I haven't tested to see if that would change anything, but since the S7+ has TWRP, I can just restore a backup Incase something doesn't turn out well.
Hi all. I purchased a SM-X900 from the Samsung website(UK). I am having a serious problem with getting the OEM unlocking option to display in the developer options menu. I have tried the known workarounds (change date/disable automatic updates, etc) but had no success. Does anyone have any other methods/ideas? I previously had the tab s7+ and had no problems with this.
Any tips would be much appreciated!

I've had some issues where after enabling OEM Unlocking and going through the process, after Unlocking and resetting, the option disappears, but OEM is still unlocked. Not sure what causes this, but after rebooting for some root-required things and checking again, the option was there and changeable. I actually went throught the normal initialization process on my Tab S7+ and Tab S8+ (wifi, clock, samsung account, etc) and never had any issues. Maybe try either factory resetting again or flashing latest stock firmware (you can flash official firmware even if oem is locked). YMMV though. This specific issue of the option not showing up at all never happened for me, so I'm not sure how much help my suggestions will be.

Thanks, in my case, I have not seen this OEM option at all, since I received the device. I have not been able to root it.

Well, something I can recommend is downloading the latest firmware update for your specific device (use either frija or samfw), going into download mode by holding vol+ and vol- while connecting the device to a PC, and flashing it with Odin, or you can update officially since your device hasn't been rooted yet. Maybe the current version you're on is affecting it somehow? No clue man. This issue is brand new to me.

Hi, can this help you youtube
As of now, this is where we're up to:
1. we can now enable and use USB ADB to sideload apps
2. we can now re-enable Wireless ADB via sideloading a an wireless ADB enabling package
3. we can now replace the system Package Manager with an alternate unrestricted Package Manager
4. we can now install apps via native (or alternate) file manager using alternate-unrestricted Package Manager
Are people aware of this? or are instructions of this yet to be published on XDA?

@insinc
Is this possible with every Android OEM head unit, like GM Mylink?
Thank you.
Bro, you need to open the box under the console on the passenger side. and you will see Android head just like SOFO888 said.
then you need to remove the thick black sticker and you will see a micro USB slot. with that slot, you can adb sideload apk. that is.

yeah, your headlights are on. so the screen will only go to "night time" brightness. Day time brightness is so bright at night it's a safety hazard! Because during the day, the screen has to be bright enough it can beat the SUN!
so check if your headlights are set to "on" and change it to "auto" or "off" to get the android screen brighter.
Hiya XDA People, Today I will be showing you how to install GMS with full downgrade, this tutorial works flawlessly and you can give it a shot!
Let's get started
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
To downgrade from EMUI 12 to EMUI 10, we need to firstly downgrade to EMUI 11
To do that here's what to do:

2. Set it up, and plug your phone in and do the process
3.(WARNING WITHOUT HISUITE PROXY) Press check for updates and wait
4. After you waited for a while, there should be a button that says switch version to EMUI 11.0.0.260
5. Downgrade your phone into EMUI 11.0.0.260
Step 2:
Now we need to downgrade from EMUI 11.0.0.260 to EMUI 11.0.0.230 (The Dload file attached is for C432, the dload file has been tested to work with all CXXX codes, Has been tested on C185 P40 Pro)
