[Q] Unable to install on galaxy note 2

I've Samsung galaxy note 2. Updated to 4.4.2. Rooted. Response screen of root checker attached for reference.
When I try to install the framework on clicking the apk file, the installer starts and shows the warning messages. However, the install button at the bottom does not click - seems to be disabled. The cancel button cancels the process. Screen shot is attached for reference.
I've enabled unknown sources under security. I've tried with stopping and disabling the anti virus programmes - Avast and AVG.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud.

the problem is not for framework installer but an App that control screen display.
solution is kill any App with a simple task manager before launch installation Apk.
it's tested, I have a note2

Which app?
Thanks fixfast.
I'm pretty sure that the framework works on Note 2!
Where should I start looking for "Apps that control the screen"? Don't all Apps control screen in some manner?
I may be wrong, but I doubt if its an app controlling screen is causing the problem. Only the "Install" button is disabled, the "Cancel" button is working fine. So installation of the apk is disabled, even though I've enabled unknown sources under security.
I've taken this question to general Note 2 help thread as I realised that this problem is only not with Xposed installer apk, but other apk's as well. I don't know when this behaviour started as I have installed apk's in the past.
Any pointers on how to proceed?
Thanks,
Vikas Garud

SOLVED
Thanks everybody. "Copy Bubble" APP was the culprit. After disabling it, the install button was enabled.
Incidentally, I searched for "Screen Filter" in play store. This APP was not in the search results.

Installation Issue on Note 2
Gents,
I've another issue installing Xposed by its installer.
I have a galaxy note 2 (GT-N7100) rooted (Super Su Free version), with TWRP recovery.
After running the installer the attached message appeared.
I tried to change the permissions of the /systme/bin manually by root explorer but failed.
Would appreciate your support.

Up!
Gents,
How could I install a recovery .zip version of Xposed Framework 2.6.1 ?
Can someone help me plz.

[How To] Bypass Lloyds and Santander Root Detection

Hi All,
I've seen mention of Santander but not of Lloyds bypassing the root detection. After much trial and error it's quite simple and my method will bypass both Santander and Lloyds. If bypassing Santander just do the same for the Santander app as ive said to do with Lloyds.
<--Update 08/06/19-->
Having flashed a new rom and following my steps again I received the detection message again but was resolved by using the Canary build of Magisk Manager.
To get Magisk Manager Canary click the link below:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_...pp-release.apk
Once installed, open Magisk Manager and go to
settings > Update Channel > Canary
Go back to Magisk home screen and swipe down to check for updates, you'll receive an update for the canary build. Once you update follow the guides original steps below.
<--End of update-->
In Magisk Manager Settings:
Enable Magisk Hide
Enable Sytemless Host
And if the option is available select "Hide Magisk"
In Adaway:
Download my exported blacklist from:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCBB4iVA65gJTTYqbhU1qTlghVYyAL1S/view?usp=drivesdk
Then in adaway click the 3 dots in the top right to open the menu, select "Your Lists" then press the menu button again in the top right and press "Import all lists" and select the file you downloaded.
With the urls added go back to the adaway main screen and press "Download Files and Apply ad blocking" and Reboot device. If "Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking" doesn't appear, click "check for updates" and then download them which will do the same thing.
Once your phone has restarted install the Lloyds Banking app but don't open it. Go into Magisk Manager and select Magisk Hide from the menu and tick the Lloyds Banking app. Reboot phone and Lloyds should work perfectly!
I managed to do this from researching other threads and adding my own bits in so credit due elsewhere as well, as usual you can follow this guide but do so at your own risk, i take no responsibility

This should also work for Halifax and TSB but with a different URL nice work but what happens if they fix this? No banking app again....
Also do you know how to get past Natwest?

Doesn't work for me.

Hi Steve,
This is the first time ive noticed an application that has gone to greater lengths and was relatively easy to bypass. Given how long it took to come up with this technique of connecting to a url to blacklist your device i cant see them coming up with something new anytime soon.
All that is required to bypass this new technique is to log dns requests in Adaway and with the listed urls the app connected to for the login you simply block the urls and leave 1 out. Take for example Lloyds used 3 urls, i blocked two leaving only one allowed but Lloyds couldnt connect so that url was genuinely used to login, i then knew to allow that url and focus on the other two finally figuring out it was that url i listed that was being used to connect and block my device. With the app unalee to connect to that url it cannot verify if my device is blacklisted. Its time consuming as you need to restart after each new url you blacklist but its simple to do.

Are you on the new Magisk 17.1? And after inserting the url to adaway you rebooted the device then installed lloyds then hidden it in magisk and rebooted again?

First go into the Lloyds app info (hold on Lloyds App icon and select "App Info") or you can do the same by going to "Settings > Apps > Lloyds Bank" and then select "Storage" and press "Clear Data". With all the stored information removed uninstall the Lloyds Banking app completely and reboot your device.
In Magisk Manager Settings:
Enable Magisk Hide
Enable Sytemless Host
And if the option is available select "Hide Magisk"
In Adaway:
Download my exported blacklist from:

Awesome, works for Halifax app as well!

This also allows the Metro Bank app to run. Thanks

Could you make this to work with Digibank DBS Indonesia? I'm stuck to stock rom because of this

And, finally, after about a month of failing to access my Bank account--- success, after following all the necessary actions, I can now once again use Online Banking via the App.
Let's hope they don't make further changes that mean we can't, in the future.

Sadly it doesn't work for me.
Santander app on Oneplus 5T.
Get the solid red screen for a second or so then "Santander UK has stopped"
Is this what usually happens if the app detects root?
Cheers!

I'd expect the app to tell you that you have a rooted phone instead of crashing. I'd try clearing data again, then removing the app completely and making your you followed the instructions fully.
If you haven't Magisk 17.1 then getting this together with the latest stable manager is also recommended. For a weird reason 16.4 has issues for me after some ROM update and wouldn't pass the Safetynet check any longer (even after complete removal and magisk reinstall). However, 17.1 somehow fixed it for me.
While I'm no fully sure about Santander, uninstalling and reinstalling the app also was essential for Lloyds on my phone (just clearing data and adding + applying the blacklist still showed the rooted message).
Good luck,

This thread is amazing, good work OP!
I am having an issue unfortunately when it comes to selecting the downloaded item. I'm unable to select the file from my Downloads, slight grey hue and long holding tap does nothing. (I'm trying to import)
I've checked and in the Downloads manager the file definitely exists, I just can't seem to apply it.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I solved the issue by granting Adaway storage permissions and importing the file from my Google Drive.

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?

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.

How To Guide Root Guide for Galaxy Tab S8/S8+/S8Ultra

See post #3 for in depth guide !
->insert usual general disclaimer of liability
Required:
Odin3_v3.14.1 flash tool
Samsung USB Driver installed
Frija or something else, to download stock files
7zip or similar
1: Unlock bootloader (will wipe your precious data, void warranty, break Knox e-fuse and who knows what else !)
-unlock dev option (just harass your Build number in settings)
-be connected to the internet (WiFi or 5g)
-allow USB debugging
-OEM unlock
-be warned that this might cause WWIII
-Power off your device. Press Volume Up + Volume Down THEN plug your Tablet lnto a PC to boot into download mode.
-Release buttons immediately when the blue screen shows itself.
-Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
-Go through the initial setup.
-Skip through all the steps except wifi or 5g
-sign into your Google or Samsung account
-Enable Developer options & USB debugging
-reboot
-You have an unlock bootloader and have control over your device, (it is unfair that this voids your warranty as you should be able to use your hardware as you please).
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 :
-patch the whole AP file with magisk
-use Odin to flash AP (the patched one), CP, BL and Home_CSC (using CSC will wipe)
-Press and hold Vol-down and Power let go of all buttons once the screen turn on.
-You have root, data kept and update
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi, can this help you youtube

As of now, this is where we're up to:
1. we can now enable and use USB ADB to sideload apps
2. we can now re-enable Wireless ADB via sideloading a an wireless ADB enabling package
3. we can now replace the system Package Manager with an alternate unrestricted Package Manager
4. we can now install apps via native (or alternate) file manager using alternate-unrestricted Package Manager
Are people aware of this? or are instructions of this yet to be published on XDA?

Is this possible with every Android OEM head unit, like GM Mylink?
Thank you.

Bro, you need to open the box under the console on the passenger side. and you will see Android head just like SOFO888 said.
then you need to remove the thick black sticker and you will see a micro USB slot. with that slot, you can adb sideload apk. that is.

yeah, your headlights are on. so the screen will only go to "night time" brightness. Day time brightness is so bright at night it's a safety hazard! Because during the day, the screen has to be bright enough it can beat the SUN!
so check if your headlights are set to "on" and change it to "auto" or "off" to get the android screen brighter.
