Sorry to ask here, but as a new member I can't ask in the relevant thread.
I have flashed Nougat stock through Odin fine, flashed the latest SuperSU with OEM unlock enabled as per this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7...overy-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
But now I hit a problem. It asks me for my pin during reboot but then says it is incorrect and I can't go any further. I have to reflash stock N, which then also asks for my pin during reboot but will accept it. I have only ever had the one pin and finger print unlock. What am I doing wrong? Any help greatly appreciated.
I May be wrong, but I believe you need to disable your pin prior to rooting, then enable after.

My Galaxy S4 decided to password protect itself... no idea why. I usually use the Lock Screen pattern, when I screw that up enough it prompts me for a PIN. I guess that's what happened, but after I got in after doing entering the PIN, I didn't reset my PIN or pattern, so now it's asking me for a password to get into the phone.
I've tried using Android Device Manager to send the phone a new password... it doesn't work. When I send an integer only password the phone prompts for a PIN, but it doesn't accept the PIN I send, and when I send it a alpha-numeric password, it prompts for a password, but doesn't accept that either. Clearly the phone is acknowledging the receipt of new protocol.... but it's not adhering to the new directions.
Anyone know how get around this? Or another method that doesn't require me destroying all of my data? Or a way for me to retrieve my data without having to manually select "Use as Media Device" (can't do this since I can't access the drop down menu).
Well, if you're rooted you can mount to your computer via the recovery.
You can also try a dirty flash. Will not destroy your data but it may cause bugs and other problems.
Maybe you got some kind of virus.

Not rooted, do I have to be rooted for a dirty flash?
You have to be rooted to install any kind of custom rom.
I think samsung kies has a backup feature. But I may also backup the password.
Hello guys. I have a problem. I've encrypted the phone with custom OS. Today I flashed back the stock ROM and it says "Please enter the pattern to unlock your phone". I've entered the pattern that i used on the Custom OS and it's nothing. Someone help please.

Most likely your problem may be solved by performing a factory reset from recovery (or wipe /data/cache/dalvik if you have TWRP installed).
Remember of:
1. Reactivation Lock (you'll need Samsung account credentials if it's ON).
2. You'll erase all your data.
So my friend has this device, so he locked his device with a pattern lock and didn't set his fingerprint...and now he forgot his pattern i don't know how...now he needs to unlock his phone and doesn't want his data to be deleted i.e he doesn't want to factory reset... Can anyone help with this issue?
Any help will be appreciated.
Not sure if it's true for pattern as well, but with Fingerprint, you need to enter a pin after reboot.
With other words, after re-boot you do not need a fingerprint.
You can always re-install the FW with MiFlash-Tool and click 'preserve data'
This takes 10 minutes or so ...
This might help.

But if it's updated to May unlocking the bootloader will wipe the data.
I'm on RR with Franco kernel but I'm not sure that matters for this.
I use figerprint for device security. It works great for my needs, i don't have to type a code or pattern and my 2 year old can't get into my phone.
My problem is this, in order to utilize twrp (install zips, nandroid, etc) I have to disable all security before booting into recovery/twrp or all the files are encrypted within twrp and I can't find what I'm looking for. Once finished within trwp i can then reapply fingerprint security but then I have to reprogram all fingerprints.
Is there a way to deactivate security, use twrp and then reactivate without having to reprogram the fingerprints everytime?
I don't disable fingerprint security and still can use TWRP. Just enter your pin. Afaik you have to enter your pin if you use fingerprint security. So use this pin in TWRP.
Maybe use a different twrp ??? Sometime if its too new or too old will have some kind of bugs. Always try a different built if anything fails. That's what I did for mine when my phone went had error occured.

You are correct, that works. thanks!
Hello,
I need help: my note 7 asks me for a PIN when I start the system (Android) and also when I enter TWRP, and I want to remove these PIN requests.
In the 1st rom change (from Miui to pure Android - HavocOS), I did, in the following order:
-format data
-Wipe: system, dalvick, cache and date
When the system started for the first time, I configured the fingerprint sensor together with a 4 digit PIN and it is this PIN that I have to put in the system and the TWRP.
I tested other roms (Bootleggers, crDroid) and it happens the same. I've tried other recoverys, including OrangeFox and the same happens.
I've also tried reinstalling the rom by doing only format data (not doing Wipes) and doing the same.
I received the device with the rom: MIUI 10.3 Stable (10.3.5.0) [PFGMIXM]
The model name is: M1901F7G.
The Android version: 9 PKQ1. 180904.001
What else can I do?
Try not to setup pin after flashing rom and see bro...
I have managed to solve half of the problem: it is no longer encrypted and in TWRP it no longer asks for any PIN.
But on Android I do not accept the PIN that I set up along with the digital print, tell me that it is wrong.
Now the problem is to use PIN + fingerprint. I set up a PIN and when using that same PIN, tell me the PIN is wrong.
If you do not configure PIN, I can not use it without problems, but I lose access to the use of the print sensor
I rooted my device and installed magisk on the stock rom miui 10.3.5 for redmi note 7 will i receive ota updates?
and if not in order to flash newer miui versions of the rom do I need to flash vb meta?

i am in the same situation man, i don't understand what is the problem and what is wrong...
In my case it was bad configuration, because I set up safe boot and this way I mistakenly assumed that this was related to encryption, but the error was only mine.
Check if you have set safe boot. With safe, always-on boot (a pin, a pattern or a password) every system boot and every time you enter TWRP.
Sorry my English.
