Hi, sry in advance for my bad english - i hope u understand my problem..
I "played" around with my device: Diamond 2, with mobile 6.5 [original ROM]
now i have a problem:
I entered: Settings - more - "device lock"
there you can enter a password, so you have to enter a numeric password, everytime you wake up the device. This works just fine.
BUT - how do I deacitvate this? Because, when I try to re-enter: Settings - more - "device Lock", it asks me to tipe the password but it doesn't happens anything. And there is no "ok" button - just a <- and a X
so what can I do, or what should I do?
I really don't want to hard resett my device
mfg Vashi
nobody?
after very long google-session's i found out, that normally you should have an "unlock" button, if you re-enter settings/device lock
this "unlock" button is missing @ my device - i can only type in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 and X or <-
guys - need you ^^

Hi,
Here is a thread on the topic, read carefully...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/sim-unlock-i9300-galaxy-s3-free-t2359462
If it doesn't work, so unlock sites are usually fairly cheap for android.
Good luck!
Hey guys,
A few days ago I encrypted my device running the latest Exodus 5.1 with standard kernel. The first few boot ups I had to draw a pattern for boot (in TWRP as well). Now, after a week or so, it doesn't ask me for my pattern anymore. Not on normal system boot, neither in TWRP. But in settings it still tells me encryption is enabled.
Wth? What am I doing wrong?
Cheers
Settings -> lockscreen -> screen lock -> tap on pin / password / pattern (whatever you have set up) -> next screen you can choose if pin/password/pattern should be prompted for at device boot.
Oh, I see. Stupid me. Actually it's good that this is disabled because TWRP unfortunately does not support my 4x4 pattern (any workarounds got this btw?).
But with this option disabled, is the encryption still useful? Probably not right? So if someone steals my shutdown device he can simply access data through TWRP or booting it up, right? Encryption would be useless in this case?
Twrp does support pattern unlock for decrypt since version 2.8.6.0. If your pattern is to swipe the first row from left to right, this would be password "1 2 3" (just like you are swiping over a dialpad).
If you want to secure your data, then you must use a pin/password/pattern lock. If you don't use it, there is no real benefit using encryption.
Yes, TWRP supports 3x3 patterns, but not my 4x4 pattern. So is there any possibility unlocking your pattern via code then? Would it be like this then:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
And where do I type the code then?
I use a 4x4 pattern lock. I just don't use the option that it has to be entered before boot (after unlocking the SIM card you have to unlock via pattern).
Sorry I misread. Twrp still can only decrypt 3x3 patterns. If your pin/password/pattern is not prompted for at device boot, someone could still access your data through twrp (and e.g. copy it to usb-otg).
Okay thanks. Then I'll hope TWRP is going to be able to decrypt 4x4 soon, so I can enable the boot decrypt. I don't want to go back to 3x3 neither get locked out of my system if I need TWRP to restore, update or whatever.
Hi all!
I am trying to get Samsung Flow to work with my Windows 10 Pro laptop but I keep on getting stuck at the Failed to register fingerprints part and I can't seem to get passed that screen no matter what (registered) fingers I use.
Could it be because I'm Rooted and using a custom ROM + kernel?
Thank you!
I am having the same issue on rooted a5 2017
Pls help!

Are you on the Creators Update? I believe I read you need to be on it for it to work or that might have been to sync between your phone and PC. Could be Know is tripped and it needs a secure login to work.
i'm on creators update (build 16237) and use a NON rooted s8+.
i get the same error, so there must be something else wrong!

I'm having the same problem on my g935FD (Galaxy S7 Edge Duos, exynos) I walked through your steps to enable secondary authentication but still got the same error. I also have rooted and installed a custom rom. Do I need to restart my phone/computer?
I'm not sure what the second part of your message means. Do you have to reset your phone?
I tested with two phones(S6 Edge and Note 5), both with root, the registration issue on both, fingerprint scan fail in Windows side.
After I reset one to factory settings (only wipe cache partition does not work) with unroot complete (My Note 5), the registration of the fingerprint in PC worked very well.
Debug log can be sent to the developer:
[How to collect Samsung Flow logs]
1. Download "SamsungFlowLogCollector" , unzip
2. Launch "SamsungFlowLogCollector.exe"
3. Check the "Turn on/off logging" check box.
4. When "The reboot is required to take effect." popup show, select the "Yes" button.
5. Restart your device.
6. Reproduce the problem steps. Launch Samsung Flow. Try to register device.
7. Launch "SamsungFlowLogCollector.exe" again.
8. Select the "Collect Logs" button.
9. Uncheck the "Turn on/off logging" check box.
10. Share the created file(.sfel) to developer..
I'm on a galaxy s6 (7.0) rooted with magisk. I also get the same error .I tried to use magisk hide but this does not seem to matter.
register fingerprint fails with rooted phones!
For rooted devices the only way to register is:
1.Delete fingerprints saved on mobile device.
FLOW apps > Try to register device (without fingerprint)
2.After device has successfully registered with CDF (companion device framework), set it back a fingerprint to unlock phone.
Logging into windows is possible if the mobile device is unlocked- with fingerprint.
Tested with:
Windows : Samsung Flow app v.2.0.79.0, Driver v.2.0.1.6
Android: Samsung Flow v.2.0.41
sorry 4my bad english

Thanks alot man! I have struggled with this for a month or so! Such an easy thing. Thanks!!
i have a rooted Samsung galaxy s8+ and i get an error saying samsung flow doesnt work on rooted devices, Is there any way to bypass that?
Preface: I have rooted my device before (TWRP, Magisk).
Because I go on vacation, I wanted to try out the Android Device Manager for locating, locking and purging my Android smartphone..
I registered Android Device Manager app with device administrators.
I went to the Google Device Manager website (https://www.google.com/android/find), have chosen my smartphone and hit lock. The website asked me about PIN, info text and telephone number to display. I pasted (not typed!) "1234" in all of the three fields. The PIN box was masked but was showing 4 asterisks for 4 characters ("1234"). I hit lock and the issue begun.
After 1-3 seconds my smartphone locked up (yay) and showing info text + telephone number (both "1234" as pasted) and I tapped the PIN field to enter the PIN. I entered "1234" and the smartphone just vibrates and the PIN field was emptied.
I tried "1234" several times until the dialog shows "only 2 more tries" (or similar).
I shutdown the smartphone and created a full backup with TWRP and copied the backup and data files to an external USB stick.
Question: Can I remove/reset/change the Google Device Manager PIN? Either with ADB/Root/TWRP/whatever? I tried the website but while in the locked state it only shows the fields for info text and telephone number.
Device Info:
OnePlus 3T (OxygenOS 4.1.6)
Somehow I found a "solution" which make me thing this is completely useless.
After performing the backup with TWRP I restarted the device into normal mode.
I was asked about the device password (not Device Manager PIN). I saw the "locked by Device Manager" in the background. I have entered my device password (not the Device Manager PIN) and everything was unlocked!
Why on earth is there a Device Manager PIN when "the system" is using the device password anyway?

Hello
Because the one who stole it maybe able to decrypt your device ?
++ you could have deleted pin files from twrp
Hi everyone,
I've had the nasty surprise of my pattern not being recognized a few days ago. Might be a memory corruption (bit flip from cosmic rays ) or just a very rare bug. Either way, I've won the lottery, because this hasn't happened in 4 years ...
My aim is to unlock the phone without losing internal storage data.
Fortunately, the fingerprint unlock still worked for three days, so I've:
- enabled USB debugging and approved my PC
- backed-up to SD card with Samsung's Smart Switch and did a backup via USB with adb backup (not sure how safe that is)
Currently the fingerprint doesn't work anymore, it forces me to unlock with the pattern. Haven't restarted yet to see if my original pattern will be restored, out of fear that ADB won't work anymore or the backup I did wasn't good enough and I've lost my chance to do a good backup. I'm waiting for my brute-force to finish (more on that below) and some replies from you guys .
My phone is:
Galaxy S8 (Android 9 - firmware G950FXXS5DSJ1 build date Sep 30 2019)
not rooted
My main question is, does this command silently fail after a number of attempts?
adb.exe shell locksettings verify --old xxxxxxx
I've written a script that loads the pattern combinations from file (kudos to delight.im for sharing the list) and saves the command output to file. I've tested it on Android 10 (updated nov 2020) and it throttles after 4 requests - command output is "Request throttled". On my locked phone (Android 9) it appears to never throttle, the output is always "Old password 'xxxxxxx' didn't match".
Found this comment of alecxs on StackOverflow where he says:
there is a 30 seconds timeout after x attempts (timeout may increase) and twrp will silently fail during this waiting period (even with the right pin) - it can even wipe your data (depends on gatekeeper settings and device).

Does this apply also to the locksettings verify command?
Can I view the "gatekeeper" settings somewhere?
If you've got any other suggestion on how to unlock the phone or do a better backup before factory reset, please feel free to write!
Thanks a lot!
