knock code issue - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone.
Every time i leave my g2 in my pocket for some time without using it, it prompts me to enter my backup pin (= means it somehow tries to unlock while in my pocket, too many tries, locks with backup pin)
Am i the only one with that problem or is it common? ( happened from the start(brandnew, everything on stock) so this caant be a software/firmware/.. Issue.
Is there a way to fix it?
An idea i came up with was set the "knock code tries before lock" to 500 or sth. Is that possible somehow?
Thanks everyone!

[Q] VERY weird bug

I had this happen on my for stock android 2.3.3.. hope some devs or ppl can really help me out...
I was using my phone normally, when suddenly my phone resets itself... Normally, i have a pattern lock installed on this guy.. BUT after the strange sudden reset, the lock screen pattern suddenly becomes a pin code lock...
Now i am unable to get into my phone and it refuses to accept any code that i have used before on the phone... anyone is able to shed any light on this bug or how to reset the pin?
thanks!
do you mean a sim card lock code?
nope... i mean the PIN lock by the phone... u know in 2.3.3 u have the option of the password, pin or lock pattern?
it suddenly jus changed from lock pattern to pin code lock over one insane reset...
in that case you can only recover you account thru xrecovery or reintall the rom/hard reset it
You can't hard reset cause' you must enter a PIN code to log in OS man lol. Recommend repair your phone using SEUS. Everything will be fine.
My reccommendation is to not use any passcode or pattern locks... cos 2.3.3 is a little crazy in this area.... that one suddenly system crash made things worse... i decided to pre-set all my codes and lock pattern while i can.. and to disable the locks...
Is'nt SIM code enabled remembered by the SIM card? So any device you stick it in will ask for the code.

If it is to get out of the lockscreen, then just randomly try some pincodes, 5 times or so. A little button pops up asking if you want to reset it by logging into your gmail account.
that should fix it i suppose

PIN locking problem

Is anyone else experiencing this issue. The device was locked with a PIN and fingerprint recognition. During extensive use last weekend the lock would disengage meaning the device could be opened by merely swiping. I therefore removed the fingerprint recognition and reverted to PIN only. However again after extensive use the lock was bypassed.
When you switched on the phone the screen showed "Swipe screen to unlock" If the padlock was below this phrase it was open and no PIN was required. You could however press the padlock and it would jump to be above the phrase and then required the PIN to unlock. However after switching off the phone it would often revert to be "open".
I can't seem to find anything about this by googling so would welcome suggestions.
Thanks,
Brian
PS If the phone is only used lightly during the day the device remains secure.
That sounds weird. Upon a restart the phone will always ask for the alternative method of unlocking (pin or password for example) rather than simply unlocking with fingerprint. But after that first time it should work fine. Personally, I have mine to set to unlock with only a fingerprint. Perhaps the fact you use both at all times could be causing the issue?
Are you on vanilla stock the phone came with? Have you tried updating it?

Thanks for the response.
I thought it was weird as well as the S5 never had this problem but of course it did not have fingerprint unlocking.
Yes it is Marshmallow straight out of the box and has had one update so is now running 6.0.1
I did sometimes have a problem with the fingerprint recognition so I would be reluctant not to retain the PIN!!!
S5 did have fingerprint unlocking, it was simply not as good as you had to slide your finger down the button. It did work though.
I recommend an update. Or, if you don't mind tripping knox, install one of the custom roms on this site or one of the other roms off site (like the one listed in my signature). Each new release of these custom roms are normally built on the latest base that is out there so you would hope any bugs like this would be fixed, assuming it is a bug.
Thanks, I'll give it a go. After the Lollipop upgrade bricked my Asus Nexus 7 I have been reluctant to do upgrades unless absolutely necessary.

Forgotten Pattern Bug?

My friend thought that one of her friends changed her pattern at a party as a joke. I was trying to figure out how to fix this without resetting the phone. It also had a weird symptom of not having a limit on maximum number of attempts. Usually the phone would give you a timeout after 3-5 attempts, but here it didn't happen. Well, turns out that phone just needed a reboot! Nobody changed her password. After the reboot the old pattern worked.
I scrolled through this forum and I saw a lot of recent questions about people being unable to use pattern to unlock their phones. Is it a software bug or something?

Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL - Forgotten PIN ,possibly an unusual case though

So ,yeah ,I forgot the PIN code on my phone. I have an Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL and it does this strange thing every once in a while - it asks for my PIN code instead of my fingerprint reading when I try to enter my phone. It is absolutely adamant about it - no other options are available and I don't have an option to just recover/reset my PIN through my Google account or something like Samsung phones have. So ,of course this happens to me and I realise I have forgotten my PIN in the worst possible moment. Whatever has happened ,has happened ,but I believe my situation is a bit different that usual ,so don't just go ahead and comment I should factory reset my phone or something like that. I'm not giving up on my data.
So ,for some strange reason (totally coincidental) I have pretty much the exact same PIN on my laptop too (I just remembered that) ,but I also have a plethora of other sign-in options on my laptop so thankfully I'm not locked out of it as well. So I have been trying to brute force the PIN on my laptop hoping to find the right PIN and therefore unlock my phone as well. I wouldn't be able to do this on my phone since the amount of time I have to wait between tries doubles every 5-10 tries or so - from 30 to 60 to 120 seconds each time.
So ,the reason for my posting this in the first place is that I need suggestions and recommendations. Is there perhaps a faster way to do this? Should I try some other methods?
Currently I'm trying my hardest to remember some fragments of the 4 digit PIN's sequence and I'm 90% sure there are no repeating digits in the PIN. Tried around 90 combinations so far and I don't want to waste any more time if there happens to be a more efficient way.
FYI: My device is fully rooted and has TWRP custom recovery. One ,hopefully insignificant ,problem I have is that my phone's data is encrypted (I don't even know how I managed to root my phone having had this problem but it somehow happened). And what this means for me in the long run is that I cannot possibly backup any of my phone's data through TWRP or however else and thus my only option is no data wipe.
I will be giving up on unlocking it for today and start afresh tomorrow. Thanks in advance!
(I'm thinking of maybe trying out some brute force or dictionary attack type of method through some third party app on my laptop so I can figure it out for my phone. Dunno if that is even possible or feasible. Would be even better if I could just seen the PIN on my laptop since I'm already signed in but no ,why should it be easy.)

I need help bypassing the frp on an LG G6

A friend gave me this phone saying it was not working properly and he already bought a new phone, I factory reset the phone and it seems fine. But he left the phone in the devices list on his google account, and asked me, as a challenge, to bypass the frp... I've bypassed 4 frp's before, including one that was not documented at all, but I got stuck on this one. Limited settings are the only barrier between me and success. Thanks in advance!
erase frp partition (oem misc fota?) do backup of the partition beforehand!

Is there any way I could do this easier? I don't even know where to look right now
it's your silly challenge, do your homework

don't mind me but i sense some humor here.sad.​
the fun begins with next thread - how to unbrick LG G6 from erased IMEI
nope, I solved it. You have to bug out the wifi by pressing next and then immediately turning off wifi, set a pattern, restart and fail inputting the pattern 30 times (took like 20 minutes for some reason), resetting the phone, and now it will ask for the pattern after connecting to a network, input the pattern and bam, phone unlocked. Nice

What kind of mental disorder is capable to reveal such trick?
What do you mean? I accidentally got the wrong pattern and it told me that there are 29 tried left until it reset, and I remembered that, in a few old bypass vids on YouTube, they had a pattern lock after a reset... That meant that if this worked, I could use the pattern I set to unlock the phone. And maybe you said that as a joke, but at least now you know how I got to this solution.
And the wifi bug? A random old frp bypass for an older version of the G6
