Root and secure folder - Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers

Hi together! Is it possible to have root on latest A12 firmware and to use secure folder? I know that there is the smali patcher tool, but I don't know if it still works

on the A12 versions of CleanOS there is an option during the install to have secure folder if I'm not mistaken.

[HOW TO] Full Root EMUI 3.0

Hello,,,
anybody knows how to fully root emui 3.0. i've been trying to use 3.0 since it was released by Oxalis for L10 but i have a problem in rooting. I did root the phone, but i can say it is only 99% rooted, bcoz everytime i tried to delete file or app under /system/app directory files will be reverted after rebooting. i've deleted the files or app under the mentioned directory and i successfully deleted, but again, if i will reboot the phone, the apps deleted will be installed again.
Use custom E3.0 rom,unpack zip on pc,delete unwanted apps and everything you want,pack in zip again and than flash rom.This is only way (in my case) to delete unwanted apps.In any other way deleted apps return back after reboot.

i'll better make updater.zip than unpacking system...
Just flash a different kernel, the 3.0 version from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...ds-tweaks-kernels-recoverys-emui-2-3-t2966670
The stock kernel contains a ramdisk which restores files deleted from the system partition. The custom kernel does not.

hi, i am also trying to fully root Emui 3.0. i am currently running Emui 3.0 b602 on L10 and after rooting (CWM+Update SuperSU) same issue (with files being reverted)
now I am relying on updates.zip through CWM for downgrades,etc using sideload update through usb and sometimes feels awkward
I followed the link mentioned above and found a custom E3.0 rom named boot_HRT_emui3.0.img.
@majcomtech, is this the one file that made you 100% root? I did not see references to L05, L07 or L10 nor B602, B604 or B609. Does it mean that this HRT boot.img is valid for all P7 models, say for the whole family of p7s?
will it fully root my 99% P7 L10 B620 EMUI3.0 BETA to 100% P7 L10 B620 EMUI3.0 BETA even though is not specific to a L10 nor b602?
@Kostyan_nsk, can not find set_immutable.list file inside /system folder as I used to have, a config text file with a list of immutable folders and files.
If I flash that hrt boot image I would not need to delete that file? is that the following step, flash new boot.img then delete set_immutable.list?
thanks in advance for your advice, those seam like a lot of questions :silly:
p.d: sorry english not my native language

The principle of locking system files and folders is next: there is set_immutable binary in ramdisk of boot image that executes in boot up. This binary reads list of files and folders in /system/set_immutable.list and locks them.
So there's several ways to avoid it: delete or comment line in init.rc file in ramdisk that executes set_immutable. As I remember, it looks like "exec set_immutable 1". Or change parameter from "1" to "0". Or completely delete set_immutable binary from ramdisk. So if set_immutable won't execute, existense of /system/set_immutable.list won't affect at anything.
Or you can just delete set_immutable.list and set_immutable binary will not lock anything because it will not be able to get list of files and folders to lock.
If you don't have set_immutable.list file already, I think custom boot image with disabled set_immutable binary will not solve your issue. But you have to try anyway. If system won't boot, just revert back your boot.img via fastboot or TWRP and you won't loose anything.
I think problem is in su binary. Something with security context or permissions or something else. But it's just my humble opinion, probably I'm wrong.
Thanks Kostyan_nsk for your last post!
I unpacked ramdisk and set 'exec set_immutable 1' to 0. flashed and recovery still active.
then unpacked again and renamed immutable binary inside initrc/sbin, flashed and recovery still on
I also checked supersu binaries and updated supersu both through CWM and Google... so far all my efforts were to not avail
solved! flashing custom 3.0 kernel fixed it. Kostyan_nsk you directed me to the right direction init.rc, thanks a lot .

how to edit system/csc/features.xml or others.xml systemlessly ?

any way to edit the features.xml file in system/csc/ foldser on a samsung g925i (india) nougat 7.0.0 , to enable a few features systemless ly ofcouurse using magisk to pass safetynet test
tried root explorer but failed ( need to edit a copy of it in some way to allow magisk to use it )
any help or knowledge on how magisk works with system/csc would be helpful
Make a Magisk module with the edited xml (copy the original to /system/csc in the module and edit it there). When you're done, make a zip and install through the Manager or in recovery.
Module creation details and instructions can be found in the module template and in the Magisk documentation.

That could be caused by a number of things.
First ones that come to mind are that you might have done something you the xml that shouldn't be there or that you might not have set the proper permissions for the file.
It might be something completely different, of course...
permissions were set to 777
if i flash the g925f rom on g925i
i get the features such as stock call recording
if i revert to original firmware then no features at all and all bloated up
idk how the volte enabler module works for samsung devices which is in the repo
playstore has an app called csc feature enabler by wanaam.. but that wont pass safetynet as its not systemless
i made the plugin as stated..
its flashing alright
but not booting
Others.xml and the like need permissions 0644 just as anything there. Wrong permissions caused your brick..
Leave them original

Rom updates ww-16.0640.1908.12

I have the ROM version WW-16.0640.1908.12 and I would like to know if first to make a fingerprint change (CN to WW), I have to change the ROM to the WW-16.0631.1908.12 version since I want to install OTA / FOTA updates or manually because when trying to install a software manually (putting the file in the root folder) it does not detect the update but if modifying the name of the update file it detects me but it gives me an update error EJ: WW-16.0640.1908.21 placing that way I detect the file since instead of 16.0631 I place 16.0640 and also instead of 1908.12 I place 1908.21 and only in that way detected but in the same way it does not update me since that would only be to rename the file, to which I am going to suggest can I get an update before modifying the fingerprint (CN to WW) do I need to modify the software first or not?
I appreciate any help friends

android 11 root problem miui 12.5

hi.I rooted the phone using magisk, it was installed and apparently rooted, but I have a problem with root file programs like root explorer or es file manager. The problem is that the rw mount does not work or I even have trouble installing busybox.
my phone : redmi note 10 pro
miui version : 12.5.8 and 12.5.9
android version : 11
magiak version : 23
I don't know deeply this case, but it was told that mounting r/w is not possible in recent Androids for system partitions.
However this is Magisk benefit that you put your files to it's tree and Magisk overmounts original files, I guess it does it using option "mount --bind".
You put file into /data/adb/modules/<module_name>/system/etc/<exemplary file> and after reboot you see it under /system/etc/.
At least the above path was checked personally by me by changing /system/etc/gps_psds.conf file to my own.

I want to install a program as a system, but it is not possible without rw mount, do you know the solution?
I presume you have at least one Magisk module installed.
Put it into /data/adb/modules/<any_Magisk_module_name>/PATH_WHERE_YOU_WANT_TO_HAVE_IT/.
If wanted directories don't exist - create them.
Reboot.
Check.
Maybe tune permissions to make file executable.
Report result here.

I have no problem installing the module. My problem is accessing the system / app folder and making changes.
What changes do you want to perform?
Change one or more of files there, right?
If so - I repeat.
Put your modified file(s) under /data/adb/modules/<any_installed_Magisk_module_name>/system/app/ and reboot.

I do not want to install the module, I want to move an apk file to the system/app folder that is installed as a system and can not be deleted
I wasted my time.
Good luck.
I devoted a while to check that I was right suggesting what I suggested.
