Does the current Samsung source code leak give us (SOON TM) an easy root and undetectable root. Where we can still use EVERYTHING as if not rooted?
(fingerprint, samsung health etc)
From what I've seen the leak also includes all master keys etc.
Not a pretty picture.
Wowa Wiwa....
I really, really hope this will mean we will finally have a odin-rooted rom in the near future...
Not complaining about the phone itself, but I've been rooted for as long as I can remember, and I miss it for a lot of options
Maybe the return of multirom
It depends. There may be a software routine that triggers the actual hardware trip (a fuse is purposefully blown to kill knox) and if this can be removed from the code then it will allow us to continue using knox. But if that trip is triggered solely through hardware then it will trip no matter what.

Sure, depends on the code: maybe it’s the source code of pbl or sboot or xbl abl ,however I can’t know, but it’ll be great just for not triggering Knox anymore we’ll see.
I know just that the trustzone source code is always useful

I've always been interested in how Samsung trips the the knox fuse and I can't wait to find out. I just need to find a link to the torrent that some mod hasn't already removed!

Also me I’m interested and I can’t wait, but my idea link or not download 200gb of file from a torrent, it’s like a torture in my opinion. At least for me it’ll be a problem because I have 3mb connection.
If you find a link good luck then for download
Double post sorry
I wonder how it's "illegal" to get a torrent about the samsung leak, but since the torrent contains keys (and the S22 bootloader etc) it might be OK to post files to unlock the bootloader without tripping knox in the future.
This might be in XDA terms, but I'm not willing to read hundreds of pages.
Guessing this is about "digital theft of samsung files" more than "hacking the bootloader on your own" maybe?

Its neither to be honest. Its that by providing a link to the torrent can either result in a lawsuit against XDA from Sammy or the anti-pirate companies get the site blocked for a single torrent. The mods are just protecting the site from libel. Its what they are there for.

You poor soul! I get 60mbps on my 4G connection which does the job until Virgin Media cable up my street with 1gbps fibre.
Greetings to all. As you are all well aware by now of the "Samsung hack," I am closing this thread at the risk any further such postings of the torrent link since this could very well get
XDA into trouble for disseminating illegally acquired information as per XDA Rule #9:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.

Reminds me of something... But I cant put my finger on it

Its skinned to remove all logos, The only thing I could not remove was the text. I made it for myself, keep that in mind. I am just sharing.
*edit* if the original does not work, I doubt this one will but use the same install information 555-555-5555 and you must have the widget on your home screen. Launch it from the widget preferably.
is there anything different about these apks? Are they wifi compatible?
I tried wifi compatibility and it is still in the works but as of now this is only for looks but I am working on wifi as I post this.
555-555-5555?? call that number while the widget is up?
On some of the sprint apps it makes you comfirm that you are a sprint customer, so instead of sending sprint our real phone numbers (caller id=your name) we send them fake ones, like 555-555-5555
this seems like not a smart thing for you to do.

so basically you just violated alot of copyright laws....
Unfortunately, some may think, we cannot allow links to modded paying software. The software in question is provided under licence to Sprint users only. Now, we try not to sensor knowledge here, so we not going to delete all references to the fact that this software can be ported to non Sprint devices and used free of charge in breach of terms and conditions, BUT we cannot permit links to the software that would actively encourage members to break the law.
Mike
Links will be removed
It's not the fact that it is Sprint software ported over to the G1. It is the fact that he removed all of Sprint's branding. That's like taking the the Google Maps app (or any Google app) and removing Google's name from it. It's simply just a breach of copyright.

Well, that too but the whole subject of the Sprint / Telnav software has been raised and discussed with Mods and Admin so there are issues regarding the use of such software on non Sprint phones.

I was shut down for a while and had to remove some things, but in the end reached a sort of unofficial compromise on intellectual property rights.
This is a delicate issue, in my case I don't offer folks something they would normally have to pay for through their network or otherwise. (I offer stuff they should not have, even if they have money to pay for it!!).
I guess our bottom line is that knowledge should be freely available, but handing folk the tools, to install stuff that is very close to being Warez, is off-limits. (Robbing banks with an uzi can be profitable = knowledge, but handing out uzis and suggesting you rob a bank, crosses the line)
.... and yes we know cooking ROMs and such is also a grey area, but even there we say that ROMs should not be cooked that include for free any software for which the user would normally have to pay.
If someone set up a site with Sprint software on it - that's entirely up to them. We would probably even accept a link to it if the poster said "hey here's a breakdown of a Sprint ROM" In fact that would probably be OK to post here - at least until someone asked for a "take-down"
The problem only comes when someone says you can load this stuff on non-Sprint phones and get stuff for free and just to help you do that here are the links. In other words that ceases to be a theoretical point of information and becomes an encouragement to do something naughty. If folks want t be naughty then they have to do so, by reading the knowledge and then looking for the tools from whatever source, here or elsewhere without our help.
These kinds of things have been debated many times here at XDA - there are no absolute rights and wrongs, only things we think are more or less safe for us to do - just like life generally I guess

Well said Mike. When I read it, I had a /foreheadslap moment thinking, "well duh, this should be pretty obvious," but im constantly reminded that there are users on here who simply feel they have a right or deserve to have any given piece of software if it is leaked online.
The bottom line is, do not post software that has not been explicity licensed as open source unless you have obtained permission to redistribute. As a general rule of thumb, if the software cannot be legally obtained unless you pay someone (e.g. it comes preloaded on a phone) or can be obtained free but only if you agree to a license agreement (downloading certain software update packages) then you should not redistribute it on xda or elsewhere.

As said, i can remove this license!!!!!
you also have to provide the source for all GPL projects upon request (where you have modified source code, otherwise you can point to the original project), that includes DGO's kernel - and as far as i know he's refusing to release the source (which is illegal and unethical anyway)
you probably just need to use another kernel in that case (there are many good / better ones anyway)

probably because XDA is in fact, right
Not only they are but they have a legal obligation to make people mostly respect the laws. They allow a lot of margin (technically a lot of the rom repacking with samsung's property for example isn't exactly legal) so the XDA hating because complying to a few simple and fair licenses is "too hard" is rather dumb.

This thread would be more helpful if it had an informative subject line, such as "What to do about Kingo malware?". The subject you provided ("What should we do now?") gives readers no clue what the thread is about.
Anyway, does anyone know how the malware determination was made, and by whom? Does the purported malware afflict the PC that runs the software, the phone that gets rooted, or both?
Also, I notice that the locked Kingo thread in the dev forum only mentions the malware determination in the last post of the thread. Anyone who just reads the initial post, or who doesn't read all the way to the end, will still think the software has been confirmed ok. (I know the download link in the initial post has been removed, but that has little effect since the software is trivially Googled.)

Looking at it now, I agree with the subject line needing to be a little better.
I was just told by a MOD the following. >
So now that I already have Kingo, what do you think I should do ? Keep it, our undo it? Please let me know, because I dont see anything wrong with it. Phone is working great.
MOD Get rid of it, it steals your information and sends it to remote servers and leaves back doors on your device and pc
MOD Correction, it's thought to do these things
Okay, I will undo it......When I plug my phone back up to PC and run Kingo, it has an Unroot option. Should I do it that way? Or should I look for STOCK files that came with the phone and us Odin to flash it? Thanks for your time.
MOD Stock, don't use the app anymore
If it's really malware (I don't know how that determination was made), any passwords, credit-card or bank-account numbers, etc. on your PC or your phone may have been exposed and should be changed now. Your PC and your phone may need to be disinfected, preferably by clean-installing a known-good system.
Just for future reference, when a company with no known track record offers free, unvetted, closed-source software, it's risky to install it on any system whose integrity you care about. That's especially the case when they claim to be a commercial venture but they say that their product will always be free, and there's no apparent way for them to profit from it.
I still don't know what evidence, if any, shows that this software is malicious. But it seemed blatantly suspicious from the beginning, so I've refrained from installing it.

Why wouldn't we trust what they say about certain methods? Threads and links being closed. I'm just saying...

I think you need to look more closely at what it means to trust someone.
I do trust the devs here regarding the integrity of their own software, because their track record gives me evidence that they're trustworthy in that regard. I've flashed ROMs from here many times.
But I don't trust the devs--or anyone in the world--in the sense of automatically believing what they say about everything. I'm sure they wouldn't expect me to.
So if a dev makes an offhand remark that someone else's software (that they have no way of examining) is safe, then of course I'm not going to just take their word for it. And if they make an equally offhand remark that the software is malicious--but fail to mention why they think so--then I'm not going to automatically believe that, either.

I think your course of action depends on how much you have at risk. Do you have sensitive/valuable passwords, account numbers, etc. on your phone or your PC?
If you don't, then you might want to just ignore the risk until and unless someone establishes that Kingo is really malware.
But if you do have sensitive information at risk, your decision is trickier. The only really secure course of action would be to wipe both your phone and your PC, and to reset all your potentially-exposed passwords and financial accounts. But that's a lot of work to go to for a threat that might not even exist. So it really depends on what you have at stake.
In any case, I wish you the best of luck!

I was thinking this as well but if the application leaves a back door open on the device itself then unless you plan on having your phone in Airplane mode 24/7 it would eventually send its payload over the wire.
I think the PC portion is controllable, its the mobile portion that has a lot of people on edge.
I found this website:
www[dot]majorgeeks.com/files/details/kingo_android_root[dot]html
Which seems to have links back into XDA about who made the claim and what not.
I see it like this, until someone can prove without a doubt that it is opening holes in devices and leaking information, its just another "he-said-she-said" argument.

Or someone is mad because they didn't come up with a root solution like this first, LOL just saying.
I tried the Vroot first, and it had a superuser app (from playstore) but its all in Chinese letters.
So I uninstalled that super user app and used Kingo to unroot (Which works perfectly)
Then I rebooted and rooted using Kingo. (Worked perfectly)
It put the superSU on there (In English) and has been awesome
Now Im going back to stock and never rooting again in my life because it pisses me off I can't trust ...Never mind
I will be using Vega method soon as I get home and Im done. This sucks. Battery life will also suck. Aw well. At least my info will be protected
I guess. Kingo,,,I wish they wouldn't of said that about you. Now I want you gone.
I've contacted Kingo on their website and asked them to comment, hopefully they will respond to the possibility of their app being permanently declared malware on the largest Android forum on the net. We'll see what they have to say about it, if anything.

Root De La Vega works fine. Yes it does take a little more work and you have to wipe data but I've rooted/unrooted/rooted again and I've had no issues using DesignGear's method. DesignGear's is a great Dev...I don't think him telling people to use Kingo should change that opinion. Kingo seemed really, really weird to me from the beginning...but it does root the phone!
I'm just checking if there's been a root discovered yet because it's been awhile and I'm just checking in to see if any progress has been made. Thanks
Yes. I rooted my T+Mobile Note 9 this morning. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, used Magisk Hide to preserve Knox so I have Samsung Pay, free hotspot, no bloat, and 20 hour SOT.
Is this possible with my AT&T Note 9?

No, not possible on Snapdragons anymore (aside from N9600) and likely never will be.

common knowledge like what is root and how to do it is as common as what is acctualy rootable and how to achieve it.
the common ground is reading and searching. If self evident topics aren't found to match your wishes, then why would asking the question make it possible when what is available is what's achievable.
screw u OJ you bought the wrong phone.

Wow. What a kind human you are. I asked a question as a layman trying to understand and this is your response?! You're really not as smart as you think you are.... Grow up.

technically what i quoted you on, dosen't qualify as a real ontopic question. so your above statement has no weight. my comment was more in response to your 'reply' to mr.orange and partly on the actual benefits of reading and using search.

It is not possible to root the US Snapdragon version of the Note 9. It's impossible to unlock the bootloader, and root has not and will not be discovered.
If you want root you need to buy an international Exynos version.
I made a sarcastic response, because this question has been asked about a hundred times on this forum. Yes, this forum is for you to learn. I WANT you to learn. But there's so much information here already. Either use the search function befotr asking a question (which is actually in the rules that you agreed to by signing up for an account), or use Google, which will often lead you to the relevant thread here on XDA. Teach a man to fish, or give a man a fish.
I guarantee if root had been achieved, it would be a stickies thread and the number 1 most popular thread on here.
As far as personal insults from you, they roll off my back. You don't know me. And Steve Buscemi who played Mr. Pink is one of my favorite actors, so that's actually cool.
* * * Thread Cleaned * * *
Let's all remember that posting rude, disrespectful, insulting, and off-topic comments are violations of Forum Rules.
While I understand the frustration of dealing with those who ask without searching, or who start trouble, you can see how effective it is to remind them that they should first search; it just leads to more back and forth, bickering, and insults, etc....
I would ask that in the future, when someone is too lazy to search, if you do not feel like answering the question for the 100th time, simply do not respond at all, or if they become bothersome, simply REPORT their posts and allow Moderation staff to handle the situation.
As everyone can see, it went from a few lazy or insulting posts to nearly a page full with all the responses included
I appreciate all the members who use Xda as designed, who do their homework, search, and respond with helpfulness and respect.
Thanks!
tl;dr
Don't feed the trolls, become part of the solution (report troublemakers), not part of the problem (argue with troublemaker)

To redeem this thread, let it be "noted" that the N9600 model has the same Snapdragon processor and root. See klabit87's twrp/root method.

Truth. However, that is because Samsung allowed the international version to be bootloader unlocked. The US Snapdragon (N960U) can NOT be unlocked or rooted.

Hey guys!
I'm sure there is a lot of posts like this one but I couldn't find the right one so if someone finds it please share
So my problem is that my dad bought a Huawei p30 pro (Vog-l29) and little did he know about the google account.. I did a factory reset and now I'm stuck.. Any ideas how to fix it?
I'm far from pro in doing stuff like this but I'm familiar with a lot of ways so if some one with more experience could just point me in the right direction with names of programs and files I would be very thankful! I've read a lot of ways to do it but then they mention that it won't unlock it.. I have a USB cable for it and a Windows computer, do I need something else?
Would really appreciate some help!
Thanks in advance!
Ask your father his password and 'voilà'.. You'll be good to go!

Funny one! The Google account belong to the seller.. Didn't think that was hard to get, so yeah asking my dad won't help.
Please can I get some helpful answers..
LoL you're welcome (^_-)
Usually, looking for frp bypass means a lot things...
If not, just try 'frp' on the search bar, there's subjects about.
And, of course, you could also go to an official repair center : they'll unlock it for you.
Good day

Yeah I get that, it might be hard to believe randoms here but in this case the phone isn't stolen.
I've already tried to search around but I don't get everything I read about it, like I said I'm far from pro in this area.
Would really appreciate some help to fix this..
Hi. I guess the easiest way is to flash the factory image to the phone.
Look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...orial-vog-l29-flash-firmware-153-usb-t3928793
When I flash new firmware my Google account is gone and I have to enter my information to start the phone with my account.
Its not that hard to flash the firmware. Follow The guide.

I honestly have no idea of how to do it.. My dad had a number of the seller but the phone is just ringing, no answer. Maybe someone someday will answer but I'm not so sure about that

You must have online emails and ebay or whichever site you used logs from the sale/purchase, phone number of the seller had to come from somewhere
How did you pay for it? Bank transfer/Paypal, both have paper trails/logs of the seller
Find it hard to believe you have 0 proof of purchase and 0 methods of contacting the seller

It was a seller on a facebook-page. He had written the price and a phone number so my dad called him and they spoke about it. The wrote 2-3 messages and that's it. Not much. Paid in cash as well.

Go back to the FB page and look him up
Next time don't buy dodge phones (likely stolen) from random FB people, there's usually a reason why FRP is locked

Already tried it, no answer..
I know, my dad didn't know about this, he thought it was like the old days when people still were honest..
Probably doesn't matter anyway, even if you did get back into it, if it is stolen it will soon be IMEI blacklisted and be useless as a phone in your country
Thread cleaned up a bit.
First of all, xda does allow threads regarding FRP bypass as long as it's clearly not for illegal purposes.
Second, if you think it IS for illegal purposes, report it! Don't reply as if you are a Moderator of this site or flame the member. This could land you in hot water.
I'll quote some of the rules here since it's MY job to do so:
2. Member conduct.
2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect: XDA is about sharing and this does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) or rudeness. Flaming or posting with a lack of respect is unacceptable. Treat new members in the manner in which you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instructions when you can, showing them respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.5 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do so. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably quite a few people with less experience than you, who could benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

I think this is where the confusion is coming from, there seems to be different rules per device forum
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76762598&postcount=7
Having been Samsung for years I've had it drummed into my head that 'any' talk of FRP bypassing is against XDA rules

Thanks but that post is actually incorrect. I assure you we do allow them unless it's clearly breaking the law. It all stems from the introduction of FRP when devices were being sold without the Google account being properly removed. Many users found themselves in this exact situation. They purchased a device that had been simply factory reset. Which was enough before the introduction of FRP but now when they set up their newly purchased device, they are asked for the previous owner's password.
Therefore xda has allowed these threads as well as the actual methods of bypass to be posted. There are legitimate uses.
