[Q] SuperSU Cannot change configuration

Hi, first post
I flashed my TMOBILE US [SGH-T999] SIII with root66 and all went well. verified with rootkeeper I'm indeed rooted. Problem is when I first configured superSU i checked hide from apps list (figured id still be able to get it in /system) So although it asks for permission and still fully functional I cannot open the app to change the configuration. There was some codes *#*#1234#*#* amongst others I thought would bring up the app, but because the sim is no longer registered to a network it just gives a network error.
This has been going on for a week and would really appreciate a solution. Going to google play doesn't show any options. just a picture. If i disable in manage apps i can then deactivate on google play, but it didn't help. Also re flashed rom and nothing changed.
Should be able to open the app somewhere on the phone right? use file explorer to delete some config file that will reset to default?

Hi, to open supersu through the dialpad, please enter the following:
*#*#1234#*#*
or
*#*#7873778#*#* which spells(*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
If that didn't work, check if supersu is still installed by going to manage applications.

Yeah mentioned the codes in my post. my girlfriend has a deathgrip on the phone right now but i'm pretty sure the exact error was: Not registered on network. I also mentioned that superSU is indeed installed cause I can clear su's data, etc from the manage apps area. I use groove IP for phone calls and I've been putting the code in the phone settings not the groove voip app if that matters.

bumped after a few days of waiting patiently.

Hi i was having similar issues, did you try
*#234#* instead of *#*#234#*#* that worked for me before although my issue now is different.
i was getting an error and work around it by installing
System app remover (root) from play store
then went to apkmanger and click on reinstal Supersu, that bring back the icon
that did not solve my problem of the dialing code not working anymore, but it got me to super su app
hope it helps

Skype cause System UI crash

Hi.
I really don't know why, when i install Skype (and very few other app), if i reboot my phone, i got a System UI crash on startup.
I tried to freeze the app, but same thing. When that happen, i had to go on my recovery, go to /data/app and remove the skype app directory.
Lolipop, root & xposed. I try to remove every xposed module in case of, but no change.
Any idea how to fix it ?
Edit : I found a way to have skype, but i'm still curious why the official skype is crashing my UI.
The china apk version of skype (com.skype.rover instead of com.skype.rider) seems working but i hope it's not a malware
http://skype.gmw.cn/down/skype-for-mobiles.html give me this download page : http://apk.91.com/Soft/Android/com.skype.rover-84008855-5.1.99.57239.html
I tested the apk with https://www.metadefender.com/#!/results/file/08c366c3216745b3b54c50f0666114c0/regular but i guess it's not fullproof

Verizon S7E Root Issues Thread (with fixes)

Thread for INITIAL ROOT ISSUES on the Verizon S7E
Let's get a compilation of issues and fixes all in one nice area. Please add your replies below and I will try to include them here when I can.
Most issues can be resolved with the zip file at the bottom of this post
1. WiFi credentials not saving or connecting after reboots:
Perm fix: Download a build prop editor app and edit this field --- ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false
2. Searching for service:
Temp fix: Start a phone call to anybody and it will kickstart your service
Perm fix: Some users have reported that wiping and reinstalling PE1 and re-rooting works, sometimes.
3. MMS not sending/receiving:
Temp fix: turn off WiFi and it will work temporarily
Perm fix: See ZIP file below!
Notes: Also check that you haven't accidentally disabled or frozen IMS Service or IMS Settings or MmsService
4. Weird RCS Service or VoLTE Service icons that appear on the device after rooting:
Perm fix: See x3demond3x fix here
5. Laggy performance:
Perm fix: Download and install a CPU governor app such as No Frills CPU Control and set the governor to OnDemand or Interactive. Experiment with this at your own risk, some settings will work better than others.
6. Xposed not installing:
Fix: Use this custom Xposed from this post
Link to download if post gets deleted
7. Issues with ADB:
Fix: Make sure you have ADB properly installed. This guide will help you install ADB and drivers easily.
8. Bricked your phone or want to return to stock:
Fix: I recommend installing the latest Verizon firmware via Odin, courtesy of MisterXTC.
9. Phone getting hot:
Temp fix: Just let the phone sit for a while and do it's thing. Off the charger. My phone eventually calmed down and cooled off, and never heated up again.
Perm fix: return to stock. (try rooting again if you wish)
10. Unauthorized modifications have been made to your device.
Fix: Download Titanium Backup or Package Disabler Pro and disable/freeze SecurityLogAgent
11. DO NOT UPDATE SUPERSU OR THE BINARIES. All root guides and instructions say specifically not to do this.
Fix: Not doing it

Anyone have the problem where gmail force closes when you try to open an email?

After using kernel toolkit I have zero issues that includes running xposed modules. . I'm still running pe1

Anyone how to flash that zip with FlashFire sorry noob here never messed with FlashFire before.

For what it's worth, I flashed the phone with the SM-935U firmware I found in one of the AT&T threads, and the only issues I had were the Wi-Fi not saving and the lte iconsl (which don't really bother me all that much), along with the Security log thing and the lag (which are probably going to happen regardless) Phone is super snappy and better than ever once fixing that stuff!

You rooted after flashing the U firmware?
Is it noticeably snappier than rooting with the Verizon firmware? I'm currently running the U firmware without root, and the Verizon firmware with root was unbearably slow.

Yes, I'm running the U firmware rooted. It works well but I still had to do the build prop edit for WiFi and edit the csc for HD calling.

The zip file seems to work for everything except the hotspot. Mine still asks for a subscription.
Can anyone confirm if their hotspot is working?

You don't need root to update system apps, just toggle secure startup, reboot and install them

ok it seems real bug....i do master factory reset without restoring any data and problem still exist. so this is the real bug of this version.
what can i do now? im not root

how??

The issue is present only on BTU/XEU CSC (G930FXXU1DQJ3) ( Did not try others)
Tried PHN (G930FXXU1DQJ1) and ROM (G930FXXU1DQJ3). They are fine.
There is different Samsung Messages version 4.1.31 ( BTU/ROM ) vs Samsung Messages version 4.1.28 ( PHN ). So it should be related to something within CSC not within app version.
I fixed it by installing Samsung Messages 4.2.03.12 Latest version targeting Android 7.0. Newer versions will most likely create more problems.

Hello,
I'm having trouble installing APK's from APKMIRROR. In various applications of Samsung e.g. Gallery, Browser, TochWiz, Bixby, Calendar, Clock .... I always get the error message "Application not installed. Package is in conflict with another package with the same name".
I do not have root.
What is noticeable is that after an update from Android (also the monthly security patches) or at a factory reset I am able to install all system apps without problems (also the ones mentioned above) or to run an update. But if I restart the phone, it will not be possible to update system apps anymore. It is always the o.g. Error message displayed.
Can someone tell me why this is so or what I can do, so that the update always works?
Resetting the app (uninstall the updates / empty cache, etc.) brings nothing here.
Where is the problem?
Thanks for your help.

Toggle secure startup to on and then reboot your phone. Install the application.
Settings - Lock screen and security - secure startup. Check require password...
If it is already checked, uncheck it and reboot.
Sometimes you also need an wipe cache from recovery. After you install your app you can toggle secure startup to original state and reboot ?

Other suggestions?

Thanks for suggestion and link for samsung messages, it worked! The messages problem happened to me as well, on S7 edge dual sim G935FD, and italian update G935XXU1DRA2. Trying to understand what was happening I realised that the application did not crash with sms coming from a program (like those for adverts) but it crashed only for sms coming from a phone number either in the contacts or not.
thanks Marina

Question Settings don't show

I downloaded the latest "settings" on telegram, but once installed, I can't access anymore... The application opens then closes straight away..
Any solution to fix? Or do I have to do a reset?

You probably installed a incompatible version, if you use a appmanager you should be able to locate the app (settings) go to manage then uninstall updates it should revert it back.
I've done this and encountered the same issues
I used this; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.app_manager
There are certainly other apps that do the same thing

Thanks for your reply..
I installed this application but it can't work because it needs permissions, and each time I try to access to permissions... It closes
So I used "files" which was already installed and managed to go down factory settings
All works now..
Thank you for giving me this idea

Like I say I've been there & done that, I too have installed "updated" OnePlus apps sometimes with success sometimes with crashes.
You should always be able to downgrade/revert.
Sometimes you get quirky faults
But I've managed to get the theme store and various other things working like fonts etc... I'm still unrooted and standard oos.
I use my NFC a lot and I can't risk tripping saftynet just yet.
