I have the password for the phone but I am needing a physical exam to find a deleted video.
I have looked into rooting, custom ROMs and kernels, XDA-developers with no real luck. A few mention "Active" when talk about supporting the S6 but when reading, lead me to believe they aren't viable.
Has anyone had any personal experience with any of these methods and can point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Hi,
have been reading here, as well as google search replies as to whether or not the build prop edit to apparently get more Tizen apps is still valid. Unfortunately most of the posts and responses are back from 2014. I've edited the build prop on my S4 so that it shows as an S5, but have not noticed any real big difference on available apps from the Gear app.
I may be doing it incorrectly, but when I check with the phone info app - it does show as an S5 ?
Can anyone confirm if more apps are available for the S5, and well, basically I am doing something wrong - or is it possible that the apps have now pretty much caught up on the S4
Thanks in advance for any replies / feedback offered
Regards,
i have the at&t galaxy s4 active i537 with 5.0.1 kernel version 3.4.0-4554112, [email protected]#1, fri jul 31 23:42:35 kst 2015. build number lrx22c.i537ucucoc7. No mods. No root. All i want to do is restore it to its original firmware which gsm arena says it was 4.4.2. how do i get this done? where can i find the right files? ive been searching forums and websites for weeks with people claiming this and that giving directions with people confirming it works but the next thread says not to. basically going in circles and seems like nobody really knows for sure if any method works or if a person can actually do anything with this phone besides enjoy the 20 at&t bloatware apps which cause the phone to overheat and burn images into the screen if in use for more then a few mins. i understand that root is needed for the bloatware removal and can do that easily enough once its back to factory condition. if anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it otherwise this phone might find a new home in a dumpster.

Always look at the stickies:

I light of recent developments, is root access still only available to Note 10+ Exynos chips. I have recently found some information. Indicating:
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus is a large 6.80-inch screen smartphone boosted with 12 GB of RAM and powered by Samsung Exynos 9825 SoC and the other one with Snapdragon 855 chipset for US/China region users. If you are planning to unlock more features of your Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, then you are at the right place. In this article, we will guide you on how to root Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus and unlock its bootloader using Magisk Patched boot.
Is it possible to root my note 10+ with Qualcomm Snapdragon chip 855. I have the most recent update of stock firmware and model Sm-975U. Build no. RPIA>200720.012.975USQU5ETLL. I hope I have posted in the right place, if need place avdise.
P.S I am not new to rooting, I have rooted both my Note 3 and my Note 8 using the instructions on XDA whitout any problems. I like the Note model, but not the restrictions and bloatware. If I purchase the devise I should be able I to do as wish. All Sansung needs to do is put in a disclaimer, like XDA, "proceed at your own risk".

I like to learn new things, and to figure things out. Lately that has been how to build and modify apps. Trying to learn how to make things I.e devices programs ect. do what they're not intended to do. If anyone has any advice for an FRP and a Samsung Galaxy S7 that can't go into developer mode I'd love to hear it. Tried everything I think. Also altering apps to their subscription version.

Samsung Galaxy S7
The Samsung Galaxy S7 was released at Mobile World Congress in February 2016. It features a 5.1" Quad HD Super AMOLED display, with an "always on" function, used to display a clock and notifications. Under the hood, the Galaxy S7 is powered by either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890...

So just bought a galaxy tab a8 10.5 inch.
This is the first model of Samsung Galaxy phone or tablet that doesn't have the option to activate or setup.
Is it possible to install it somehow?
Very disappointing.... Even their most expensive tabs this is the case as well?
Just discovered the same. There appears to have been a secure folder on earlier models with previous renditions of Android, but not my recent June 2023 A8 purchase running Android 13 /One UI 5.
Bit annoyed since Samsung's community help pages shows how to enable it, but it no longer applies.

I've come to learn it's because this tab has One UI Core, not One UI and with Core features like this are left out

Yeah, probably because Samsung feels this tablet just doesn't have the resources to run the full version. I know the tablet was considered "laggy" with earlier versions. People should realize that Tab As are "economy" versions and not expect all the features they'd get with a Tab S. It always amuses me when some users try to make "gaming" tablets out of Tab As. And then complain they are "laggy".
