[Q] ROMs S5 style - Unlock with PIN Password

Hi guys,
Recently i installed the ROMs Phoenix 9.4 and Imperium 10.0, both with S5 style. Both works fine, but one thing not. I configured a PIN Password in my phone, but after reboot the system, the unlock mode is set to Slide Unlock (without password), if i wait the screen turn off or lock the system and try unlock, then the PIN Password is required.
This happened in the two ROMs.
Have a way to fix it?
I would like the password was required at first, immediately after the system becomes available.
Sorry for my english, i wrote with some help of Google Translate.
Thanks!

Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue. It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.
I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result, basically the PIN lock does not activate untill 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up.

No, I have not found a solution. A partial solution was to activate a Pattern Unlock.

when u start the phone there is a option of pressing the volume down button with home and power button... it would give you an option to root the phone but it is stuck on the screen after that says "downloading" and "do not turn off the device" and it is stuck there for some hours... what should i do?
i was trying to root the phone so that i can unlock the region lock (phone from india) so that i can use it in hong kong?
thanks

The three button combination is used to enter into downloading mode and it doesn't root your phone itself.
If you haven't connected your phone to PC to flash anything via ODIN,
You can just pull out the battery and restart your phone.

There are various ways available for rooting your phone.
First of all you need to check your model number and android version.
Also depending on KNOX version there are roots available.
I exactly don't know everything about your phone, so I can't give you the accurate way.
Just check the above info and search in 'Note 4 android development' section.
If your doing it first time, just be careful as your phone can be bricked forever.

VNS L21 Nougat C432B336 working and not working stuff

Hello all, i am planing to describe all good and not working things about this Nougat version i found and also process i did to install it.
I would be grateful if someone can help me resolve not working things or maybe this will help developers fix them.
First, one month ago, i unlocked and rooted my phone because i wanted some additional features. TWRP was installed and worked like it should. I did not unroot phone.
Yesterday, i downloaded those 2 files needed for Nougat 336 update. I used DLOAD method.
Steps i did was:
1. Put BOTH files on SD car in dload folder.
2. Power off phone.
3. Enter TWRP via Power + Volume down button.
4. Flashed 1st (Update.zip) file and got some red line errors. (Because i read it is normal i went further).
5.Flashed 2nd file WITHOUT reboot. All was done in 1 or 2 mins, and no loading and installing screen was shown, just rebooted normally.
6. Huawei logo showed and phone start normally with nougat update (1. December security patch).
Good things i noticed while few hours of testing:
1. Better battery life
2. Twin apps working
3. App drawer working
4. System is a bit faster (apps load and work faster)
5. Less ram is used (900-1000 MB free when cleaned)
THING THAT DON'T WORK AND I NEED HELP TO GET THEM TO WORK:
1. Camera app show black screen, than shut down and restart itself. That happens all the time until i close it with square button and click on trash can. SO CAMERA NOT WORKING. I even tried some apps from app store. App works but screen is full black.
2. I have no Huawei stock apps like clock, alarm, stopwatch, calendar, calculator, file manager, not even stock sound for ringing nor message etc. They are MISSING FROM PHONE apparently.
3. Problem with sound manage. Those bars that regulate sound dont work very well. I put my Ringtone bar to MAX and i hear phone ringing and SMS sound but I dont hear app sound like Viber or Messenger sound.
4. "MOST IMPORTANT ONE": I thought maybe 2nd file did not install normally so i tried to enter TWRP again and flash it again, but I CANT ENTER TWRP!
I pressed Power+ Volume down like 10 times, I tried Power - Volume up too, even all 3 buttons, nothing happens. Just Huawei screen and phone boot up normally. When i did 3 buttons EMUI screen appeared and it said, installing updates, went to 5% and wrote: FAILED, Reboot phone.
So now i cant flash ANYTHING again. Can someone help me with this thing please. Maybe many other people will find this thread helpful.
Thank you.

Hello
I think best and remake to own.
It seems to me that the
MM recovery solution, is written at the bottom of this post. Http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...t/android-7-emui-5-0-vns-l31-l21-l23-t3513816.
To install nougat b336, maybe you should follow the original post also that is also written down this post.

Hey there,
i have exactly the same phone and Problem as the OP, so i tried to flash as you suggested.
I tried to put the Original Firmware on my device using the version from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...huawei-p9-lite-firmware-compilations-t3517124
I just have to create the "dload" folder on my fat32 SD-Card and put the UPDATE.APP in it, right?
Well, i tried that and it still says "Your device is booting now...".
Is there anything i can try to get it working in any way again?
Thanks

Thanks, i did that
However, when i held down all buttons and connected the battery, the red lightning icon lights up, and the led on the top blinks red 3 times, then it turns off and does the same thing again ...
The battery should be charged arround 50%, its deffinetly not empty.

about one and a half years and sadly i cant use huaweiVIP, i think i have an account, but i only have a P9 lite, wich doesnt count.
Also if you unlock your bootloader, you arent covered by warranty anyway.
Does anyone have an idea why i cant get to the 3 button flash thingy nor fastboot?
