Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
Hello everbody,
I hope somebody can help.
I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N960F/DS and using Android Pie.
It's rooted with magisk and everything works fine, excepted the Samsung Account.
Everytime after giving the password , there is the message "processing failed"
and send me back to password entry.
Login on a PC works. I tried changing the Password on PC and I tried a secondary safety via SMS Code, but this also don't work.
The Login works on the rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 8.
Does anyone have a solution for me?
Regards Incognito90
You haven't perhaps debloated any of the Samsung apps, I know there are a bunch linked to the Samsung acct and if you delete one of them you are stuffed...

I don't know. I tried yesterday the following:
Downgrade via Odin to latest Oreo 8.1.0 unbranded with CSC/Full Wipe and after that directly rooted with twrp (format data) and magisk again and guess what... It's working. I didn't delete anything or do something other, I tried to login direct in the initial setup and it works.
So I guess, it have something to do with the Stock Rom of Android Pie, but I don't know what...
Same problem. no lockscreen and else... don't know what to do...

Hi guys. I need some help for my rooted galaxy note 8. I had rooted my phone a long ago and all was working good. All apps including banking apps were working fine with magisk hide. But few days ago i wanted to update my phone so i flashed stock rom with odin and updated my device. Earlier my bootloader version was 6 and now its updated to version 8. Then after updating i flashed latest twrp and rooted with magisk. I flashed magisk version 20.1 and magisk manager version was 7.4.0 . Then magisk update was available so i updated to magisk version 20.2 and magisk manager to version 7.5.0 . Now the problem starts. I am facing 3 issues.
1- my phone starts freezing and then reboots randomly. It happens quite frequently atleast 2-3 times in a day. Every time i clear cache partition from twrp but problem persists. I had checked ram also but ram useage is also fine. Please help me with this issue.
2- while searching for the solution of above problem i read somewhere that it might be because of safety net check. Earlier safetynet check was pass but now safety net check was fail. I flashed bypass safety net mod. But when my phone reboot a warning appears that your device has some internal problem. Contact the manufacturer. I pressed ok and phone starts. It seems to work normal but then i realised my device was not connecting to any wifi network. When i click on available wifi nothing happened. So i uninstalled the safety net bypass mod and then wifi start working again.
3- now final thing i want to know. If the above problem did not solve then i have to unroot my phone which i dont want. But if i had to then i dont want to flash stock rom. I want to unroot from magisk app itself. I had edited build.prop file for using samsung health app. So now if i unroot from magisk app will the changes made by me in build.prop file remain or it will revert back. Also will banking apps work or not....
I know its very lengthy post but please help
Wow...

Try going back to previous version of Magisk. I have Snapdragon N8 so I have supersu. But I did update my A20g with newest Magisk and had an issue. I know you have N8 but was just saying maybe could be new Magisk.
My SM-N950U Still Rooted Note 8
Hi guys,
I am using my 1+5T for almost 2.5+ yrs now and since beginning i rooted the mobile for trying new custom ROM's, installing substratum themes, ad blocking etc etc.
Now many banking/payment related apps, maadhar, etc are showing as my phone is rooted. Magisk HIDE is not helping anymore.
So, i uninstalled magisk root and still my OEM is unlocked. all the previous apps shows similar message as my mobile is rooted.
How should i completely unroot my mobile without leaving any trace so that these apps doesn't show rooted messages again ?
Any Idea ?
NOTE: Previously i completely unrooted my mobile & still many apps shows rooted so got to root my mobile and used magisk HIDE .....

As long as your bootloader is unlocked, they will report your device as rooted. If Magisk Hide alone doesn't work, try the "Repackage Magisk Manager" option in Magisk Manager settings. It works for me.

I unrooted my mobile but still magisk manager was installed so apps showed message "my phone is rooted". After that i uninstalled magisk manager and all apps started working fine.
Now i am unrooted but my bootloader is unlock.
Well, I still have that same problem. But only from Samsung Pass with an actual message box, which says that my device is rooted so can't use the app for security reasons.
I rooted my Galaxy S20 FE 5G SM-G781B with Magisk and afterwards uninstalled it with the Complete Uninstall method, but after automatic boot, that procedure only gave me some weird errors and I couldn't boot the phone.
It got stuck to this error filled download mode screen. There I saw an option to lock the bootloader back. Well, did that but then my phone got itself into a boot loop!
I managed to get to the download mode (in between the loops) and then it became even more errored and with all red alert stuff there!
Thought I bricked the whole damn device which I only bought like two weeks earlier rip.
Well then after some google fun time I downloaded original stock firmware to odin it. Well, nothing worked and always failed!
Then afterwards it became to my attention to try to flash the firmware that I originally flashed just before installing Magisk.
Heck yeaaah that actually worked lol and all bank stuff works and even software update and I now have all the newest updates etc and Magisk and Root Checker shows no root and then I removed Magisk for good and rebooted the phone to check any surprises.
No surprises and everything works, EXCEPT Paypal app and Samsung Pass!
Paypal just says after trying to log in "Please check your information and try again", but Samsung Pass actually says that "Your device has been rooted. Samsung Pass cannot be used on rooted devices for security reasons."
So what the heck!
I hate myself for rooting the new phone for nothing and now my ocd suffers for having that stupid whatever error stuff there, especially since I actullay USE Samsung Pass and Paypal!
EVERYTHING else works just fine, but not those two!
Grrr!
So all you wise people, can I actually do something about this or not??
Cheers!
@Hopeasilmu I would expect that the Samsung apps will now be complaining since you probably tripped the Knox fuse when you unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device. Once that's tripped you can't get it back...
If you need more info on Knox there's plenty available both here on XDA (check the Samsung forums) and on the web in general.

You can still lock the boot loader. There is a way. I did that on my Samsung M31 however I cannot recall the steps.
Hi,
I'm using Havoc OS on my redmi note 3 which is on Android 11. I'm also using the latest Magisk. Currently, I need to use Google health connect, which req my phone to be encrypted. So can I go to settings and encrypt my phone? Or must I uninstall Magisk, encrypt, and then reinstall backMagisk?
I have been searching for this info but most of them are old posts and each mtd is different.
Hope someone can give an updated solution.
Thanks.
