Password is wrong for some weird reason! - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I just put password as by unlock option(changed from pin just for the sake of it), and clearly set to "abcd", and I say clearly because as you know you have to put it 2 times to get it enabled, but now, when I try to unlock, it tells me the password is wrong, weird I know. I still can get into my phone using the finger print, but is there any way to change it again, because once I turn my phone off I wont be able to get back into it!:silly:

Today my phone ran out of battery. When i plugged it in to charge it requested the pin. Im a 100% sure i was typing the correct pin but it would not accept leading to blocking my phone for 10 minutes and then for 30. I still dont have access to it. I type in the pin and nothing happens. Need help too ; /
*Fringerprint wont do it either.

I had no choice but to backup and then Factory reset the device from the recovery. If that is an option for you. I too am a 100% sure, that I am putting in the correct password, pretty weird.

Maybe a vendor issue, are you under a custom ROM?

I think u should disable the pin lock / fingerprint and then flash the second part (smallest one) of the UPDATE.APP of the firmware you are currently running.This second part contains VENDOR.IMG, it may solve your issue, let me know what you decided to do
edit: i just saw that you made a factory reset that solved it.

forgot my pin code

apparantly i locked my TB with a pin code and woke up this morning and now i cant get into it at all. after 60 tries i thought it would ask me to enter my google account email and pw which i have but it hasnt. anyway to get past this??
Well that really sucks forgetting your pin code, but if it were easily worked around, it wouldn't be much of a security system, so it's not easy.
This Google help forum thread might help you out: http://www.google.com.tw/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=1889ba0fa1e29183&hl=en
If you're rooted, with adb access you might be able to clear something in the system to reset it, but I'm not sure where to start with that if it's even an option.
Factory reset will certainly get you back into the phone, and shouldn't wipe your sdcard data, but I'd pull it out before resetting just to be safe.
thanks i appreciate it. i just cant believe after 75 tries it doesnt tell you to enter your gmail account info to get into the phone. i thought all androids did that

yeah. both my OG Droid and Fascinate made me type my Google credentials after a certain number of failed tries. Call VZW and see if there is a workaround. Keep us posted!
If you are rooted and using ClockWorkMod, u could restore a backup, that uses no pin or an old pin.
If you do have CWM and a earlier backup, I would perform a backup and then restore the earlier backup.
if you can do that and get into the OS again, you might be able to Run Advanced Restore in CWM and just restore the Data Partition from the backup of the pin locked one. (this is just a guess, Im not sure where the pin is saved but this may be the best way to not loose data)

Unlock locked android phone

I have a LG optimus 2x unrooted and i i have forgotten the password to unlock it "i was kinda druk when i set it"
Its not the pin fo som put it is the built in number code that is used.
Is there some way i can get passed this code. The phone is not rooted but if it is possible to root without unlock it im willing to do it.
But if there is a way to solve this without root i would like that option first.
can yu access tha phone as it is lock?
i cant log on to the phone but i can see the notifications att the top but i cant drag it down
I think you'll have to do Hard Reset. Unless you talk to LG support
My bad. Unsure what the answer is for you. Sorry dude.
cant you do a restore with a pccompanion?(i dont have the same phone so...you understand)
i thing you should communicate with the lg support!
On some phones there's a "Forgot Password" button on the lockscreen where it asks you to put in your Gmail address and password so you can reset it.
use the gmail recover option, i don't tell other options..your post history doesn't really show you owning the phone. sorry
there is no forgott password or anything like that.
Never used the pccompanion or something is that LGstuff or is it some other app.
About me not owning the device : If you have an aoption to unlock it i can send you a copy of the receipt and pm or mail to you.
boot into stock recovery and wipe
Thats just the thing i want to avoid.
Delete the lockscreen apk.
maybe you should hard reset it..

How would that be possible if i cant get in to the phone.
The forgot password option shows up after u enter the password wrong a few times. Just keep entering random 4 digit number untill it gives u the option but if it locks you out and still doesn't have the option stop trying. You will just lock it out longer.

It's case-sensitive I believe so keep trying different capitalizations of "Lockscreen" if it doesn't work.

Nexus 5 won't prompt for decrypt on boot / TWRP fails to decrypt

So I think I am screwed here but was wondering if anyone has run into similar issue. I was running SlimKat and had the data encrypted and I used BootUnlocker to relock the bootloader after I flashed TWRP a few months back. Been working fine for a couple weeks then yesterday I pull my phone out my pocket and it looks like it factory reset prompting to input all my info. So I reboot the phone thinking could be fluke and it doesnt prompt me for decyption password and again boots to setup screen. If you do login you cannot access the internal storage and there is no data connection. So I rebooted into TWRP and it prompts for decryption password only its not working. If I put in wrong password it comes back immediately that it failed. If I try correct password it tries for 30 - 45 seconds then comes back with failed. So tried downloading factory image and flash with fasboot but was complaining about bootloader locked. So I issued fastboot oem unlock and choose yes the screen switches to unlocked but doesnt wipe anything try to flash again and I get FAILED flash write failure. When I reboot to the bootloader it shows as locked again. I think my flash took a crap. Anyone have any ideas?
I bought my N5 used....and guess what, it was encrypted. And i didn't know it.
Well after a series of unfortunate events, LOL, I found this.....it worked for me when I thought my brand new (new to me) N5 was bricked.

since its been possible to encrypt with android, it has cause everyone issues, eventually. with as many people that ive known that have encrypted, every single one of them has had issues, eventually. eventually because it usually doesnt happen right away, but somewhere down the line. i constantly tell people not to encrypt, that they will have an issue later.
sounds like you will be flashing the factory img at some point.

Tried that doesnt work due to the locked boot loader. Issuing fasboot oem unlock doesn't actually unlock it.

That's a good point.
I'm afraid that if you cant flash the stock image, and you can't unlock the bootloader to try other methods....you may be at an impass.
You need to either get the stock image back on. Or unlock the bootloader, Then try my link. Not sure what else can be done here.

I mean i put it in fastboot issue fastboot oem unlock it prompts me on the phone to choose yes or no. I choose yes it then immediately goes back to fastboot screen and shows unlocked. However when trying to flash anything it fails and upon rebooting back into fastboot it again shows as locked.

yes fastboot is reading the phone. but issuing fastboot oem unlock doesn't actually unlock it. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img to get into stock recovery to see if it would let me do factory reset however after booting into stock recovery I am unable to get the menu to pop up to allow me to factory reset.

Advice I would really have to disagree with as it is a built in security measure; telling people to avoid using proven security methods is sketchy in itself. I had my Nexus 4 encrypted for the last 4 months and had never had any issues. What issues are you talking about?
Encryption slows the device down... We all know that. Also, if by chance someone forgets their pw (yes... Seen it happen plenty) you lose al your stuff to get back in.
Anyway, to each their own... But I'm not important enough to worry about what's on my phone getting into the wrong hands. ?

[Q] N5 stuck on startup screen

Hi, decided to make this thread since I'm not getting help from the Ask questions thread. Friend of mine had me look into a N5 she got used and it's not working and wants me to see if I can get it to work. Thing is when you boot it up, it takes you to to the startup welcome screen no problem right to the 1st step which is choose a language, as soon as I select any language the screen stutters and the coloring goes all weird and goes to a black screen and sometimes reboots and back to the same welcome select language screen. I already tried wipiing everything, unlocking bootloader and wiping so I can get it back to stock as if it were new, I have no idea what they did to the phone but after doing that thought it would fix it but still having the same issue, any clues on what else to do? should i give up?

That's so strange. It seems like it would be a software issue but if you're 100% sure you were able to successfully flash a factory image then I really don't know what's going on. What software version did you flash? I would try to flash a factory image for a different software version. If you're on KitKat then flash a different KitKat image, if on Lollipop then flash a different lollipop image. Make sure to either run the flash-all.bat or to flash EVERYTHING in the image file that gets flashed in the script. That way you know 100% that the phone is back at factory conditions. If you're going to do it manually just open the flash-all.bat with a text editor and follow all the steps that are in the script and in that order. Take a screenshot of the terminal screen for me when it's done flashing.

Phone was on kitkat so I did it with kit kat, I just flashed 5.0.1 on it and it did go through because it did boot to the Lollipop Welcome screen but same thing happened as soon as I selected a language screen stuttered and stopped working.

So this happened on KitKat as well as Lollipop? I don't know what to tell you then, it seems like it's a software glitch but that's pretty much ruled out. I wonder if it has something to do with data... like it's freaking out when it gets to the point that it has to transmit/receive data. Try doing it with WiFi on and off, SIM card in and out, and try flashing a different radio. If it still does it every time then I guess I'd RMA it.

Unfortunately I can't set any of the setting such as WiFi on or off because as soon as I tap on something the screen goes off, I guess it might be hardware (screen) related, thanks for your help.

Defective ONnePlus 7 ? Help me out pls

Ok so i will try to go straight to the point.
I got OnePlus 7 that i bought from Aliexpress (8gb and 256gb) the thing is that im almost 90% sure this phone is defective.
You can use teh phone correctly for about 2 days then all of a sudden it will freeze completely and then you CANT do absolutely anything else, not even turn it off by holding power button ..
So i just left it there until it ran out of battery.
Then i charge while inside the fastboot and when i try to boot it is in a boot loop , doesnt even go into the boot animation
and to make things even more interesting i tried to wipe data guess what? The phone screen suddendly started blinking until again it ran out of battery. (you could see for a split of a second every time the screen blinks the progress bar of the wipe but it never moved from initial point).
So yea at this point is pretty obvious that something is wrong so i bought a Mi9T Pro meanwhile but i dont want this phone to go to waste.
Anyone out there has a clue of what could be? I wanna attempt to fix it myself if possible.
Aliexpress just gave a bit of the money back and the company Hongkong Goldway didnt give a f and they even go as far as to pretend they don't know what i'm saying ( the language barrier when it beneficial for them ).
This was gonna be a short explanation but i guess it was neccesary to be this long to explain correctly whats going on.
BTW: the only way yo make the phone work again for 2 days mayebe 3 is by using the MSM tool , any other method doesnt work.
also when it was working i filled the whole 256gb to kinda check the internal memory for corruption but it actually filled up without any problem so idk .
The problem isn't the phone, the problem is you. Clearly you stuffed the phone up yourself by trying to mod/root it and now you have ruined it further by flashing incorrect images to the device.
You shouldn't be coming to XDA when the fault is entirely on you, I've seen it all before.
@PriPhaze is your device stock(bootloader locked) or modified in any way?

Maybe I did not understand correctly: Did you tried the stock rom without unlocking the bootloader and magisk? Or did you immediately unlock and install magisk immediately and then test?
The stock rom is stable and should work, otherwise a hardware issue can be the problem why you have those issues.

Yea tried with locked bootloader and then unlocked .
So yea maybe i wasn't clear enough but what i meant with the first post is that im 90% sure that here is a hardware issue but i dont really know what could be and there is not repair service in my country.
Thats why the only option i have left is to figure out what is wrong and change that part.
Iwas hoping someone could guide me to figure out which part i need to change.

Hmm, I can't tell you which part to exchange cause it can be the processor, flash for example which you cannot exchange. Battery might be an option, but that's not really the culprit imo...

Well in any case the cpu and internal memory are in the same board no? so that probably means i would need to change the whole board wich is 250US

Yes, everything is on board. It's the worst case for, sadly...
Or you buy a device with broken screen and exchange the board /display. Depends how much you have to spent for this at all.

Ah yes, the common misconception that power shuts it off. Nope, not this phone. You have to hold power and volume up together to power off the phone when it crashes. Make sure you're using the latest platform tools (adb/fasboot) to unlock your phone. Make sure oem unlocking is enabled in developer settings after you've unlocked, having it disabled for some reason does screwy things. Mine was disabled once when I downgraded to Android 9 using the all in one tool available on xda, I thought I bricked the phone because it wouldn't boot after a reboot. Flash the latest oos twice through the system local upgrade feature, this will put the current oos on all partitions. Use the correct twrp, the unified versions found on xda 3.3.1-75 and 3.3.1-76 work well for me. The installer zip for those can be used in magisk to flash twrp after an OTA update before reboot. So, local upgrade 100% -> magisk modules "+" twrp 3.3.1-75 unified installer zip -> reboot to recovery -> flash magisk 20.3 at least (20.4 is available now). Do this twice so that everything is the same version on all the partitions. Lastly restore apps with swift backup without data, I know it's not ideal but may be necessary because some app's data may be corrupt and causing this. Good luck. Of course at any time you have it running you can reboot in safe mode (touch and hold restart until the dialogue pops up) and see how long you can use it without any third party apps to confirm that it is an app you installed.
Man I had the exact same problem as you and I got it fixed this morning after nights of fastboot commands trial and error found this thread forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-t3937478
Tried a few times before it worked but saved my phone all I had was fastboot mode and no recovery make sure to manually flash all fastboot commands you will then get stock recovery back wipe using all 3 options go 1st 2nd 3rd and then 1st wipe again after reboot phone might hang just force reboot and fixed
I really appreciate all the replies really but hmm im guessing there's a misunderstanding on what im saying.
I do know how to flash and recover one plus devices using MSM tool if neccesary, also to flash the fastboot rom .
The thing here is that everytime i recover the phone and all seems stable and working good , after a2 days more less it will random freeze of death and you cant even reboot holding power button NOTHING! is completely freezed.
So yea, thats pretty much it, i have tried already all that you said so far :c.
