Need help!
I just factory reset my Nexus 6, root it and found in About phone - System update - "System update downloaded and... (restart now)".
I am definitely not want to update from 6.0.1 to 7.1.1, so I am going to Google play service and clean all data. And found that System update start downloading immediately again with only options "Pause downloading", so I pause it for now. I am also found this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/how-to-stop-update-downloaded-t3157232 , but it about 5.1.1 and the answer is wrong, because there is no "Automatic System Updates toggle" in 6.0.1 Nexus 6 (this option came in 7.0). I am also installed Disable services app, and disable SystemUpdateService in Google Play Services and Google Services Framework, but it not work.
I am also try another method - Rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts_bak.zip , but its also didnt work for me
So, how to prevent it, cos I am afraid to reboot my phone?
It's been forever long since MM. I think things were different then, but some ideas;
Long press the notification and a settings gear/cog should be available. From Settings select "Turn off notifications update"
Go to settings -> apps -> Google Play services (not store - you may need to "show system apps") then uncheck the notification box.
Settings -> about device -> software update -> check for updates
There might be an toggle in developer options (tap on build number 7 times to enable developer options)
I try most of those ideas in start topic. Notification not a problem, I am already blocked it - problem with downloading.
And, as I said, Developer options didnt have it in 6.0, only from 7.0
Hmm, maybe I found solution for my question:
Not enough to kill SystemUpdateService, but when I killed SystemUpdateService Activity receiver, System Update options just disappear from menu "About".
Can somebody confirm it?

For google play store, just install it from App Center, just search the app there, or
you can browse to https://m.apkpure.com/id download the apkpure app, and download google play store from there.
after you install google play store, download all the google environment apps (Google play services, Carrier service, google play games, chrome browser, gboard, google map, Sound Amplifier, Assistant, Clock, contacts, etc.)
and try to install gcam mod for better night shoot
and for some carrier , you need to edit the APN to use the 4G network (I have some problem from 3 network before and need to edit the APN, but for Smartfren and Telkomsel is working flawles :good: )
You can find the video instructions in the following:

*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Do NOT give up if your first attempt fails. Factory reset is recommended if failure happens, try again and I am sure you can get it done by following this guide, however you will need to make sure you follow all the steps one by one, and do NOT try jumping. Even the button of "OK" , "Open", "Done" or selecting app from Muti Task Manager instead of re-enter apps from the Home screen at different timing or sequence may impact the result.

Thank you ThatsYisy!!
I'm guessing if I need to add more google accounts I just need to: “Googlefier”, select “05 then start from step 17 again.
Have you tested this with a gsuite account that requires more security than normal gmail accounts?
Thanks
If I already installed gms, but missing push notifications, do I need to start from the beginning or can switch files... to yours (google play services, framework)...
Thanks

Hi Simon, you are correct. Gsuite account is tested in G Classroom with no issues. However, i found that if you have downloaded and upgraded variety of system apps, directly running 05 and restart from step 17 may still result in glitches of running Gmaps. Factory reset is recommended.
Dear ThatsYisy,
please let me know... your thoughts.. I already installed google with googlefier, but some applications are not working and missing push notifications... if I uninstall google play store and follow your steps from the point 21...
I fully understand this is my responsibility, only main.... I have mate x2 harmony 2.0.0.168
Is this method work on Mate 40 pro international (NOH-NX9)version?

if you have already received push notification and upgraded to Harmony OS, yes, it is working.

push is still a known issue for some apps that are fully relying on Firebase. For a temp. fix, you can either download the app from Huawei App Gallery if it is available, then the push notification should work fine; or you may need to keep the app running at the background. I know neither is the good solution, but unfortunately I do not have better suggestions right now and still working on it.
How about the matepad 11, I tried that way but "谷歌服务助手" says that my device is unsupported
I keep getting my device isn't certified messages. What am I doing wrong?
Device is not play protect certified after completing all steps. I'll reset several times not sure if I'm missing a step. I have a Mate x2

if you are sure that you have followed all the steps in the video, then it is due to the random GSF# you received in your device. Unfortunately, i would recommend you factory reset the device and continue to work on it once again.

recommend factory reset then re-try again.
if you want to try shortcut, you can go back to Googlefier, select the last option (broom icon) to uninstall all the installation files, then start again from step 16. If it the problem remains, then factory reset and restart from the begining.

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 :

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!

S8 5G: SM-X706
S8 Wifi: SM-X700
CSC: Settings > About Tablet > Software Information > Service provider software version
Step 1 - Prepare your Tablet (only necessary for first install on unrooted device)
While Frija is downloading the firmware, prepare your device by doing the following:
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
Turn on OEM unlocking
NOTE: If the OEM Unlocking option doesn't appear, connect the device to the internet, wait a few minutes, then try again
Power tablet completely off (Hold volume down + power button if you haven't changed the Bixby settings)
While holding volume up and volume down, plug the tablet into your PC via USB
Let go of volume keys as soon as the blue-green screen shows up
Press and hold volume up for 5 seconds, the screen will change to a confirmation prompt
Press volume up again to confirm, the tablet will reboot
Unplug your tablet from USB
Go through initial setup. Don't bother copying files or installing anything.
Skip signing in to your Google account and Samsung account. You won't be using them for this step.
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
When Magisk is done installing, click Open
If your tablet was already rooted, and you're just updating:
Copy the AP_xxx_xxx_tar.md5 from the zip file Frija downloaded to:
This PC > Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra > Internal Storage > Download
After the file is done copying, unplug your tablet from USB
In Magisk, click Install in the top Magisk area, then the option for Select and Patch a file
Click My Files > Downloads, select the AP_XXX_XXX.tar.md5 file and click Done at the bottom
Click Lets Go -> After a few moments, it should display this (ignore 'Installation failed' at the top, it always does that):
Step 3 - Apply the rooted firmware
Plug your tablet back in to USB, then on your PC, go back to This PC > Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra > Internal Storage > Download and copy the magisk_patched-xxx.tar file back to the folder where you unzipped the zip file from Frija
After the copy is finished, unplug your tablet from your PC and completely power off your tablet
While holding volume up and volume down, plug the tablet into your PC via USB
Let go of volume keys as soon as the blue-green screen shows up
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.

If your tablet was already rooted, and you're just updating:
Click CSC and select the HOME_CSC_XXX_XXX.tar.md5
Odin should now look like this:View attachment 5574201
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.
Edit - Thanks OP, but I don't think of this as a better guide. I just took really careful notes of what I was doing, so that I'd be able to reproduce it in 6 months when my brain had completely forgotten all the buttons!

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
7. Add any app you want to hide root from to DenyList: Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Netflix, banking apps etc.
8. Enforce DenyList MUST stay turned off!
9. Flash Shamiko module to hide root properly.

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.
