I have an Android tablet (Samsung SM-P605) and I wanted to install the Cerberus application on it, but since I'm new to this, I needed help.
I know how to grab it from the Google Play store, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to install Cerberus as a system application, so even after a factory/hard reset, the tablet will still have the app on the phone.
I'm looking for the extra features listed on their FAQ:
- I have a rooted device. Can I get additional features?
Yes! If you have rooted your device you can integrate Cerberus into your ROM and get two additional features: complete uninstall protection (Cerberus will even survive a wipe/factory reset) and GPS auto-enabling even on Android 2.3.3 and later. To have these features uninstall Cerberus, then download cerberus.zip, put it on the sd card and install it from recovery. Cerberus is also available on ROM Manager.
I don't want to root my device as it voids my warranty, is there an alternative way?
This is what their FAQ said:
- I don't want to root my device, but it has an unlocked bootloader. Can I have the root features anyway?
Yes! You have to install a custom recovery first (google "your device model custom recovery" for more info). Then download cerberus.zip, rename it to update.zip and put it on the sd card. Reboot into recovery and install it.
That's not very helpful, I tried googling "Sm-P605 custom recovery" and I got nothing but instructions on how to root my phone, which is against what I was looking for!
Please help me!!!
Apparently, it triggers "KNOX" to "0x1" which means the device will be marked rooted, voiding my warranty!
