For some reason, this screen showed up asking for my password. The phone booted automatically because I set the clock, but it didn't ring and this screen showed up, causing me to be late for work. Any idea what it is? I don't even have a password set on this device.
did you install twrp?
No, I'm still waiting for an official bootloader unlock

Hi, I recently flashed my SGS to I9000XXJVP, after flash, it keep on loop into recovery mode and prompt for password. I have flash my phone several time, this is the first I encounter this. Can someone help please. I have tried many combination, like 0000, 12345 etc.. but failed. I just can't figure out why there is a prompt for password, is it I set the screen lock pattern, but there is screen lock pattern, I do not set for password.
Please someone help, I can't use my phone now.
Thanks.
Just type any password several times. And phone reset all settings.
I have just wiped and upgraded my Galaxy s4 to 4.4.2. I would like to fully encrypt my phone and use pattern unlock so I followed this article:
(just google pattern-unlock-an-encrypted-android-phone, I can't post URL)
But even though I have tried this multiple times and unplugged the USB cable (as mentioned in the article) as soon as I hit enter to start the encryption command the screen goes black on the phone and then after about 10min the phone reboots to the unlock screen and it is still unencrypted. I have tried following other articles too but they are all the same in terms of the command you run to encrypt the phone.
Any ideas? How can I get pattern unlock to work with an encrypted Android phone? Yes I know you can't do this via the GUI but then you need to enter a silly long password every single time you want to unlock the phone which is not an option for me. I don't mind entering a long password when turning on the phone but when it comes to unlocking the phones lock screen I would like to use the pattern unlock.
Any one else had any success with this on 4.4.2? Thanks!

Flash a different stock 4.4.2 . maybe its missing some files.
So I cant boot my phone and am COMPLETELY stuck and freaking out so hard.
I did a clean install of the validus rom and bean gapps. During set up, I made a pattern lock and made it required for boot up.
First time after restarting, i go into twrp and see the pattern prompt. I enter the correct pattern, and it says its wrong. I am able to get into twrp by entering anything other than the right pattern. I CANNOT boot into and rom even after flashing a new EDL image. I need my phone for work in a few hours my boss would kill me if he didnt live on the other side of the country I am extremely desperate for help.
Whenever i try to look up how to bypass the pattern, it only shows ways for patterns that are not required during boot up.
How do I get rid of secure startup on A2017U B25 unlocked bootloader?
UPDATE: After flashing EDL I was able to remove Patter Secure Startup using the STOCK recovery, lol wish I tried that hours ago
hey guys whenever i restart the phone it asks for pin or the password i setup and than only it will start the phone, why
is this normal, how to fix this
That's normal.... You'll always have to provide password or pin for the first time after phone reboots. Unless you select none for your lockscreen unlock method
My phone in the beginning asked every time I restarted but now it doesn't ask for anything. Is something wrong?

There's two levels of lock. One is the lock before android starts and second one after boot is finished.
If your phone isn't asking for an unlock password/pin it's possible you may have disabled it. You can enable the lock before device starts by going through the same process as normal but checking Yes when it asks the question. See my attached image for how the screen looks. If you select No you can apply a regular after boot lock.

Figured it out just after posting. But thanks a lot for helping.
Change secure start up settings
Is there a way to change secure start up settings aside from reset factory settings? Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I don't know if this is a Tab A question, a Samsung question, an Android question, or a Marshmallow question.
I have an older tablet (SM-P350 with stylus) that I haven't been using a lot and I have forgotten the unlock pattern I was using. I am able to log in using the backup PIN, which I do remember, but I have to make several failed attempts to draw the pattern before I am prompted to enter the PIN. I'd like to start using the tablet more, but I don't want to have to do this every time.
I went to the security settings to change my login, but under "Screen lock type," it prompts me for my pattern, and after a failed attempt, it tells me I have to wait 45 minutes to try again! I am not given the option of entering the PIN. So I can't change the pattern OR change the screen lock type without knowing the old pattern! Does anyone know how I can use the backup PIN to do this?
As a last resort, I decided to do a factory reset. When I tried to do so from the menu, it prompted me for the security pattern!
I've tried twice to use the power and volume down buttons to reset, but I don't seem to be able to get to the recovery menu.
Now I can't log in to shut down and try again, because it's telling me I have to wait an hour!
And finally, one additional complicating factory is this: the tablet has been rooted -- not by me, but by the previous owner.
What can I do?
