    Good article, thanks for writing and sharing here!

    I’m not an Android developer, but I do know Linux, and it sounds like Samsung’s maintenance mode could just be another user with different permissions, with access to system directories but not user home directories.

    If, as you say, Google gives the primary user full rights (like having admin rights in Windows), that would mean that Samsung might be creating “regular” users without those rights, and “maintenance mode” could simply be another regular user - by default, regular users don’t have access to other regular user’s home directories.
