Hi all, first post on xda and already screaming for help.
I got a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 WiFi as a gift a few months ago (my grandma didn't need hers anymore). After realizing how terrible Android 4.4.2 is (I'm mainly an iOS user) I decided to switch to Cyanogenmod after a recommendation from a friend. I did get CM13 installed on it with some help and research but decided to flash a new ROM due to some problems.
TL;DR I ****ed my tab up so bad that I ended up with no OS or recovery for some reason (TWRP just stopped working). Through Odin I somehow managed to flash a new recovery but whenever I try installing a CM zip, all I get is that no file system has been found, or that /storage is not mounted.
Have done some research but can't seem to find any answer on this so I have my hopes up that somebody can help on here. Really would like to get it back to working condition, if possible. And yes, as you might have guessed from this, I'M really inexperienced when it comes to custom ROM flashing etc, so maybe I screwed up bad somewhere and just didn't notice.
Appreciate any help / comments I can get!

As in title, I have the SM-G950F Optus model and tried to root using TWRP and Magisk. Worked fine but had the "Unauthorised actions detected" message. After a reboot, I got the "Official firmwares only" message and couldn't get past the Samsung splash screen. Used the instructions from an xda thread I can't link (new poster) titled: "OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8 SM-G950F", but it would fail every time. Eventually I tried only placing the AP section, that worked and I could get into my phone.
The issue now is that the phone believes it is rooted, so I can't use Google Pay, Netflix etc. It also can only access about 9 GB of 64, kinda frustrating.
So I'm just looking for a way to get back to square one, reset completely and forget I even tried.

Hello,
I have a Samsung S7 with official Android. Oreo rom. I turned on by mistake a restriction to install applications from one specifica developer. A pop up appeared and I clicked on and I accepted the restriction instead of reject it. The question is that I'm not able to undo this action. Any help is welcome. I have searched in google and forums but i cannot find a solution yet. Thanks in advance

Hi. I own a Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016) (SM-A910F/DS) with Android 8.0 (August security patch). It is now out of warranty. I want to root it. I do have prior experience in rooting my secondary Android phone but this phone is my daily driver and hence want some doubts cleared before attempting to root it using Odin. Following are the questions I need answers for:-
I am just going to root my phone to do some small scale customisation. I don't want to flash a custom or stock ROM. Some sources on the internet say that simply rooting the phone won't trip its KNOX flag while others say it will. What is the truth?
If indeed the KNOX flag gets tripped, will I ever be able to use Samsung Pay on my phone again?
If the KNOX flag doesn't trip, will Samsung Pay work on a rooted phone?
The firmware.mobi site hasn't yet updated the SM-A910F's firmware version to that of Android 8.0. My phone had received the Oreo update on 18th October, 2018. Can I still root my phone using whatever latest CF-Auto-Root package I get from there?
How to know if my phone is encrypted? I am confused about this because I haven't manually enabled any kind of encryption on my phone but since there is so much caution regarding rooting an encrypted phone, I don't want to take any chance.
So, these are the 5 questions which I want satisfactory answers for before I root my phone. A good explanation which will ward off my anxiety will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have now posted this thread there as well. The lack of A9 in the list of devices had discouraged me from posting there.

Thanks. But these threads are quite confusing and less appealing to trust.

I understand your frustration but, please remember that developments for devices sometimes take a while before any developments begin to emerge. This is especially true for many Samsung devices too.
Also, the more members who request for a device the better. I can only encourage you to also request for the A9 Series device within the thread from the link that I had provided you with (the last one on my previous post).
Good Luck!

Yes, rooting your phone with CF / TWRP will trip Knox and disable Samsung Pay. Google Pay however will work on a device that has been returned to stock, but not one that has active root. Since it's looking for root as opposed to a Knox bit, this can probably be masked pretty easily if you wanted to use it on a rooted device.
Looking on firmware.mobi, I see 3 releases already for CF on Android 8.0 for your phone.
And your phone most definitely is encrypted. Any Samsung with Android 7.0 from the factory is encrypted. The exception is devices that were running Android 6 or lower that have been upgraded to 7+ and weren't encrypted by the user beforehand.
I rooted my phone a while ago and have now screwed something up on it. It keeps saying ISM service unavailable...every 2 seconds no matter what I try. If you have a fix for that, that's great and I'd love to hear it. However, I am just looking for stock firmware for my Galaxy S7 G930V VRU4CRE5 to fix the problem. I can't find it anyway...I'm also aware that I'm no expert on this stuff so if any other stock firmware, or heck even a custom ROM at this point, works for my version that you can suggest, well then any help is welcome! thank you

Also, you can always obtain the specific firmware your looking for from one of the following links.
