i enrolled to beta and after a factory reset now the set up wizzard is not going on after the point that says that this device was locked to a google account. It asks for my pin and immidiately goes one step back. Even if i choose to use my google account credentials instead of pin it goes again one step back and so on. It loops itself and doesn't pass that point. So litteraly i am stacked at set up wizzard and can't use my device.
Obviously i tried sideload via adb android 11 or dp3 but it doesn't allow a "downgrade" and my bootloader is not unlocked to flash factory images and ditch that lock....

How do I reset the passcode on a nexus 5 without doing a reset? I've tried logging into the google acconut, and I can use the "find" option in the device manager to locate the device, but if i press the "lock" button and try to enter a new password, for a split second it says "We have sent a lock request to the device", but then it says "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password you entered won't be needed." Wtf is going on? Is there another way to reset the password?
I have not tried this and I do not know if it's updated for Lollipop, so use with caution.
This thread discusses how this can be accomplished if you have custom recovery installed or if USB debugging is enabled. If neither of those are true, you'll have to do a factory reset, there are no other options.
I was on the official Nougat Beta, but today I decided to go back to PIA to get root back. After flashing all files via Odin, the phone rebooted. But now it wants me to enter a password to decrypt device storage before I can do anything. The only other option is to make an emergency call. Prior to flashing PIA, I did have the device set up to unlock with my finger print OR a PIN. I assumed that it wanted the PIN, but it is not doing anything. After entering the PIN, it says Verifying... Then it goes back to wanting me to enter the password. The PIN is the only password I have ever used for the device, and I do not recall encrypting the storage one the phone. Any and all help would be appreciated.
After factory resetting three or four times, it went away and let me in. Now in the process of setting up the phone.

I was trying to come back to OOS 5.1.5 from android P but I forgot 1 step i.e. unlock OEM, I installed the 5.1.5 zip, factory reset and then restarted, now I can't login to google in startup, it's just stuck in a loop where it's asking me to select wifi and then google login page isn't coming up. Need help
Factory reset protection maybe? Is there a lock icon on the statusbar?
Hi,
I have a mi note 3, with global ROM. Yesterday, it received an OTA upgrade to 10.4.2.0, and immediately after the install, when the phone booted, it started showing errors about Find My device crashing. I managed to enable developer mode (this phone was unrooted and stock recovery with locked bootloader) and using adb I could stop the find my device crash by removing the package (so it wouldn't reboot) and backup about half of its contents. It did reboot though, and then It just would not boot at all to the system and would just keep boot looping (i never got the home screen).
Having tried a few things with ADB, I decided to do something a bit more drastic and I used ADB sideload to install the same ROM again using the recovery mi assistant option. That worked but still the phone wouldn't boot, so I decided to erase user-data (which according to the xiaomiadb does remove all apps but not pictures and all other stuff). Then the phone did boot, but It got stuck again, this time on the android setup screen where it says something like 'wait a second while we setup your device...' and getting again the same error about Find My Device crashing.
Is there any hope on recovering the data in the phone? I had two ideas but I have no idea if they are stupid or if they have any chance of working:
1-. Unlock bootloader using the Xiaomi app, in fastboot, but instead of rebooting, after unlocking using fastboot to load twrp and then trying to save the data via twrp
2-. Wait for another global rom update, apply that via recovery and see if it does fix the issue with Find My Device
Is any of those ideas realistic? If not, is there any chance to save the data from the phone? even if it implies opening it and so?
Thanks!
The first option seems extremely risky, unlocking the bootloader will format all data - maybe before reboot. The second needs patience, most probably that was the last miui 10 stable. Don't you have a miui account? Most of your stuff is there, you could login from your browser and check it out.
Thanks dpikros. Yes, I have access to the mi account, but I never trusted mi cloud with my data, so I had all sync to mi cloud disabled unfortunately.
I tried installing the previous MIUI, but it's based on Android 8.1 and the sideload won't allow me to use it. I think same will happen with developer ROM.
Does anybody know if the data format happens before or after reboot when unlocking? I was thinking, unlock bootloader and then use fastboot to boot the twrp image (without even flashing it) but not sure if the Xiaomi unlock app will automatically reboot the phone or if it will somehow delete if from unlock directly.
Thanks
Her phone was being screwy so she factory reset It via the recovery menu, but now it's locked and it wont even let her in. Sh just gave it to me to try and do something with, but I'm stumped. It just says to wait 24 hours after the password reset, but the password was reset over a year ago. Also, the recovery menu doesn't even load anymore, its just a screen that says "No Command.". I tried using adb, but it isn't showing up in adb devices. As a side question, the phone is from boost mobile, but does it matter if i use a sprint rom?
Delete this please, figured it out and flashed twrp
