I Have a Samsung M52 5G running Android 11. It is locked by the MDM or Knox from Samsung. As i boot the phone it automatically opens the Knox Enrollment Service and also Launches an app "Samsung Finance Plus". The knox verification fails and it locks the phone straight away. No other app, i literally mean no other app can be opened. Whenever you would try to open any app, it gives a message "Security policy has blocked the app". Here are some other major issues.
1) I can get into settings through the notification panel. I can get the developer options but the "USB Debugging" option is permanently greyed out. No matter what i do, change date time etc, it simply never comes to life.
2)OEM Unlock option is not visible in the developer options. *Though i can get into the Download mode or Boot mode by pressing the volume up and down buttons at start.
3)In download mode it says "FRP Lock = Off, OEM Lock = ON(L).
4)Factory reset is possible from Stock Recovery, but after resetting and finishing the setup it would again get locked and wont even allow you to open the playstore. Same Knox Enrollment Service comes up and blocks everything.
5)Only back button is availabe. Home button and recent apps button do not appear. I tried to turn on the onscreen navigation bar and when i use it i get a message "Security policy restricts the use of this key".
6)In settings, knox enrollment service and samsung finance plus apps cannot be Force Stop or Uninstalled. They are also device admins and the option to deactivate thier admin status is greyed out.
7)I tried to Flash TWRP in download mode but i get an error message saying "Custom Binary Blocked due to remaining installment balance"
8)However i can get into the phone and install apps with a trick. I can reset the phone and use it without finishing the setup process by getting in through the keyboard settings. Through this route i can launch Nova or Apex Launcher and install apps and use them. But if i go back and complete the setup process, then again it gets locked
9)Package Disabler Pro is not working.
10) When i connect the phone to my PC, i t says security policy restricts PC connections.
Any Help will be highly appriciated.

In the state that you are in, you will not be able to get any kind of custom recovery or custom ROMs to flash, anything that is not stock unless the bootloader is unlocked(OEM unlock has to be enabled).
The only thing you will be able to flash is the stock firmware for your device. In fact, I suggest that you flash your stock firmware to return the device to an unmodified state then start over with whatever you're trying to do.
If you're trying to root the device or flash TWRP, even after flashing the stock firmware to repair the software, you still may not be able to root or flash anything custom because you seem to have triggered Knox. The fact that Knox has been triggered will probably persist after flashing the firmware and you still won't be able to root or flash anything custom.

I dont know how an adware(named as alarm controller) installed but it gets accessibilty on its own and produces an ad of hola launcher,when i click the ad,a new application without any notification gets installed in background
I tried to disable it but the disable option is not available in settings->application manager->all applications
By the way my phone is not a rooted one
I tried factory reset with usb storage and sd card format, but no success
My device:samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100
Android version:4.1.2 jellybean
Adware like this is damned hard to get rid of......even more so on a non rooted device. The limited wipe functions in the stock recovery are pretty useless....and forget about factory reset in the device menu......
You have 2 options......
1) root your device, install CWM and use this recovery to get rid of the offending malware.
2) if you don't want to root, re flash your firmware along with the correct pit file for your device and start afresh.
Whichever route you choose, stay away from those dodgy websites afterwards.....

Thanks for the reply
Coming to the solution:
I have rooted my phone and used a app named 'system app safe remover' to remove the adware
The above solution did not solve my problem completely
Adware was getting installed in background without notice
I have to uninstall it everytime
I think Flashing a stock firmware or a custom rom is the only solution
Probably a good choice....but without the pit file, flashing a firmware will probably be ineffective.....A normal odin flash only overwrites what is already on the device....meaning that the adware *could* still be there after the flash.
The pit file will totally format the device, and in doing so, will erase any/every trace of OS/data/apps/adware in the process.....

Probably get rid of all those unknown apps under android "safe mode" can help? Once entering "safe mode", go to Settings -> Apps then tap on "All applications" tab. Uninstall all unknown or suspicious apps from there, except that belongs to system.
To enter safe mode, press and hold power button until power menu appear. Try to tap and hold the "power off" menu. If nothing happens, try the same with "restart" or "reboot" menu. On success, a dialog appear asking you to reboot into safe mode. Press "Yes" or "Ok". After reboot, go get rid some apps as I mentioned above.
Hope this help, before doing more serious, like reflash the stock ROM.
Hello,
I have an s6 edge 925-I. I installed unikernal and tried to root through odin 10.1.6. It detected my phone and gave the blue indicator. I went to AP and selected the unikernal and pressed start. As soon as I did that, it worked for some time and gave me "failed" in red. Again, I don't have an OEM unlocking option in my phone in the first place because it's international so I don't think that's the issue.
Anyways, now I simply have a s6 edge stuck on a blue screen saying downloading with a white download progress bar underneath it. When I connect it to my windows 8 laptop, it recognises my device but says that it gives a beep and says USB device not yet recognised.
When I try to force close the device using home and power, it doesn't work like it used to, it stays on the blue screen.
I have no clue what to do. Any help?
Some other information: reactivation lock is off, secure download is enabled and knox security void is set at 0.
Update: I pressed home volume down and power and it says " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. " It also recognises my phone now. Will use the emergency recovery function and let you folks know.
Hey all.
Notice: This wiki might work for more LG Devices with limited settings..
I have browsed the web for find a working tutorial for bypass FRP on a LG G6 wich has LIMITED settings: network settings + tethering only and that wont let you install any applications or even list applications due to selinux but none is legit, not even here at this forum so I decided to create one.
I am not very active here at xda developers so don't expect me to create more wikis, maybe for some other devices I haven't seen a legit wiki for, we will see.
I wanted to add pictures first but they got HUGE so I decided to create the wiki without pictures and videos so if you feel you wanna see pictures while you hacking the device, browse to my github (here you will see how to install apk files aswell if you are on Android 8.0, wich is not possible without using the method on my git due to limited settings, you wont be able to override them to install lg settings or any similiar, you wont be able to install hidden menu neither):
https://github.com/wuseman
However, let's go!
Requirements
Your device, a PC and your usb cable, no annoying urls will be posted in my wikis.
Important:
You must be on Android 7.0, you can download any firmware from lge.firmware.com, it wont matter wich you will download until you bypassed the firmware.
But since you probably not wanna download a firmware twice it's better to download the correct one already now, okey the flashing part is easy and is described at
lge's homepage so I wont go deeper in this part since I expect you know how to rollback your device to 7.0 from 8.0.
# Bypassing FRP!
At welcome screen, press arrow next button:
followed by pressing on skip
Now you will notice next button in wifi window is inactive so now connect to wifi, this is only needed so settings will appear in the accessibility menu
No worries, we wont enable some lame talkback setting wich is used many times
Go back to main screen (wifi must be connected):
Press on accessibility
Press on switch access at bottom:
Press on settings in down right corner
Press on Help & Feedback
Press on about switch access for Android
Press fast on top at the video, now you see the clock and press on it beside the share icon
Youtube getting started for 1 second you wont even notice it, and you have been redirected to google chrome browser
Now you're at google chrome, if you wanna try to install an apk do it, you wont be able too since the limited settings, probably you already know? (However, lets move on and ignore the scammers/noobs that claims it works to install applications this way)
But no worries, browse to any site that allowing you to press on a number since we want phone application to be started:
Once pressed on any phone number you found on any site get into call application
Now enter the uusd code for secret menu
*#546368#*870# (Hidden Menu Is Not Available On Android 8.0 Hence We On Android 7.0)
And now you're in hidden menu wich you wasnt allowed to open in android 8.0, browse to SVC MENU:
Followed by pressing on LDB
Is the USB debugging button grayed out? This seems to be various for different firmwares have I noticed:
Don't get panic! Then just read the below, others can feel free to jump over this part once they enabled usb debugging:
Turn off your LG device
Re-do the flash process with LGUP
Once the installation is complete and your device is erasing itself with the white background and the android logo on screen saying "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE" - That's exactly what you must do so turn off device by hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN (if you will be to late first time, you will succeed second time just press the buttons ~2-3 seconds before you know the screen will popup so you will poweroff the device during installation) - Now let the device be powered off for ~1 minute and then turn it on again and redo the process from step 1 until 22 and you will be enable to enable usb debugging if you wasn't to late when powering off the device, IF it's still inactive then just try again and try again until it will work, actually I figure out this after my third attempt and now I have tried this several times and you must turn it off while it's between 0% and 100% and since POWER + VOL DOWN takes ~7 seconds to power off device and the screen appears for around 4 seconds you must press the buttons few seconds before to turn it off exactly when it's needed.
Now when usb debugging has been enable, plug in usb cable in your pc and enter shell by adb shell and copy and paste below oneliner:
Code:
for apps in "com.android.google.gms com.lge.setupwizard com.lge.hiddenmenu com.google.android.setupwizard com.lge.easyhome"; do pm uninstall --user 0 "${apps}";done; am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR;reboot
Once device rebooted
Click next arrow button at main screen
And press on skip again as we did earlier.
Connect to wifi and hit next
Voila! You can accept documents now ... But hey, don't be to excited yet..
Just continue until you will join the HOME screen, voila - It's done!
Nah, just kidding. You will get your device formated, again, don't cry over this since it is expected!!!!
The device will reboot, erase itself and now the magic! Your'e done.
Setup your device as usual once again:
For third time hit arrow next button in main screen
Hit next in sim menu if you have no sim-card
Connect to wifi, or leave it disconnected it wont matter
Next, setup your fingerprint
Okey, you're back at were you was started for accept the documents, don't worry - It will work! However, now
You will see a smart forward window for setup sim, just press next as usual:
Finally done.
We have now reset the permissions for everything so just setup device again and this time you you will enter LGE home screen and device wont reboot.
Have fun with your fully unlocked LG device running with latest firmwares for version 7.0 from lge.firmware.com with limited settings and no options for setup apk files or bypassing hidden menu.
Feel free to upgrade firmware with LG Bridge or LGUP to Android 8.0
Enjoy

"System UI has stopped error" right after boot on LG G5 - Other processes work fine
HI I have an unlocked LG G5 (Model: RS988) running Android 7. (Never rooted). However, I do have "USB debugging" and "install apps from unknown sources" on. Few days back my phone's battery died during use but when I rebooted my phone-- I started getting this error "unfortunately, System UI has stopped" on a black screen with just one option to "close app". Clicking close app, make screen go black and the error return back after few seconds. Before my battery dies, I was taking a backup of Nova Launcher settings from within app - I don't think it is related but just wanted to mention if it clicks something with someone.
It seems other processes are working fine in the background. I have tried placing a Whatsapp call, which show up and make the phone ring. The phone vibrates fine whenever a new message is received. Locating the device via Android Device Manager rings the device fine. However, in all of these interactions the touchscreen doesn't work. So I can see a call is coming, I just can't receive it. Also pressing power button does bring up power menu. Restarting phone via the menu doesn't help.
There are few apps and data stored in those that I need access to and therefore, I cannot try "factory reset" as an option. However, I have tried following things but they didn't help or I was unable to do so due to mentioned reason:
1) Booting into Safe mode -- I am getting same error in safe mode
2) Connecting to LG Bridge & ADB -- Since I cannot enter my pattern lock because of this error, my device doesn't show up in LG Bridge & ADB. However, looking in devices my device does show up. LG Bridge recommend unlocking the device which obviously I cannot do. The device doesn't show up in ADB
3) Clearing cache -- I am unable to reach the menu to clear cache. The hardware buttons only give an option to erase all data and not a full recovery menu like other android devices
One last interesting thing is that when I connected the phone to my car - Android Auto did show up. I was able to open it, interact with map and other apps. If you guys can think of a creative way of using this fact to unlock the device, may be I can then use LG bridge or ADB to clear the cache or pull the app data from device.
Please help and suggest what else can I try.
