Hello,
Thank you for the nice thread.
I have 3 questions :
1) Does the phone need to be unlocked before starting ?
2) If no for Q1, will it be unlocked after the operation ?
3) If yes for Q2, ii it possible to relock later ?
Thank you.
Laurent

just a few questions @abadan
1. if you have tested it on your tab, what gives you assumption that it may work on PHONE?
2. why are you providing the third party source (placed in the domain greenroid.com, belonging to the Iran), instead of the original domain kingoapp.com, which is Chinese (and was several times claimed as suspicious?
IMHO, the app itself was several times mentioned as stealing the IMEI number, first.
Secondly, only the original source download gives more or less assumption that the app is (RELATIVELY) safe and updated to latest version.
Finally, the Chinese source of app was, as I mentioned previously, claimed several times to be unsafe. I'd be careful before I'd decide to trust another "very trustworthy" source...

No point using something like this... plus, it has been mentioned many time here on XDA, anyone who looking for an easy root solution should try the safe root first... no hassle and takes few min to get it done

root on 5.1

I'm just wondering, is it expected that there will be some root method that supports 5.1.1 without tripping knox in the future?
I mean knox is not something new, do the older devices have something of that sort?
Or "ping-pong root" was just one exploit that only supported 5.0 and that's it?
It pisses me off that I'll lose my warranty if I'll root the phone, I don't understand why does unlocking the software of my device has to do with manufacture hardware defects, mainly because the stock firmware and kernel by Samsung suck as always.

I meant to post this in the Q&A forum, can a mod please move it?

There was a exploit found in the ping sockets in 5.0 kernel before March 5th. No body has found one for 5.1.1 yet. Without a exploit to get around the SElinux enforcing on our stock kernels you'd have to flash a recovery or custom kernel, both tripping Knox

So the s5 and the s4 devices which afaik also have KNOX, what you said applies to them as well?
This is annoying.

You never know but from experience someone always manages to bypass the security eventually, how long will it take? Could be tomorrow or next year....

I think it needs camera permission as the infrared sensor is used for heart rate detection afaik.

Nope, forgot to mention that I've tried to enable camera permission too but no difference.

i will help you
okay i will try to help you bcuz this happened to me once with my s5 (rooted) and once with my friend's s6(not rooted) :
so basically if your phone is rooted i think you can't fix it (i tried with my s5 )
and if it is not rooted you can try 2 things :
1- go to settings application manager and find s health and click on storage then clear cache and clear data then force stop and restart your phone .
and if this didn't work :
2- you will need a factory reset(and don't forget to back up your important stuff)

hope i helped

Tnx for your time mate. I have rooted phone. I'll try to install superman rom (here from xda) for a weekend (only then I have free time) and will see what happens

Yeah, I having this same exact issue. It's driving me nut because all I want is my stock s7 back :crying:

So after three days of constant research, I have come to the conclusion that I'm slow. This entire time I was trying to flash unroot a phone with links to firmware from forum post made four months ago. Im pretty sure we can see the problem in that. So long story short I found this beautiful website with (great) download speeds called sammobile, from there I was able to find the latest firmware that led me to bring my beautiful phone back to stock goodness! So in my concluding statement I have to thank you xda for actually making me learn something.
I can't put a link but for you sfear2ugf just go to sammobile and look up G930T in the searchbar and use the latest kernel.
