Can't add a VPN [SOLVED] - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Whenever I want to add a new VPN, I am asked for my Password again and again and again ...
And yes, it is the correct password!
Greetings, Klaus

Hi, please tell me what software version are you using now, and please double check your password(for example change another password then try it again), please let me know if this issue still persist.
Thanks

I use OxygenOS 4.5.6, an I've been trying another (wrong) password, which gives an error message.

Are you on TMobile? Not sure if this will help, but I had problems connecting to VPN as well. I am using open VPN instead of the build in VPN setup, I had to edit my TMobile APN setting and then I was able to connect. I can screenshot my APN settings for comparing.

Hi,
Would you like to help us to capture the log of your issue?
here is step:
1. Input *#800# from dialing interface, enter "oneplus logkit", delete history log
2. Click "save log"
3. Reproduce the issue and take a screenshot to record the time, then stay for a few minutes (better above ten minutes)
4. Click “save log” again to stop it, then send us the whole oem_log folder (file manager-storage) along with the screenshots
My email address is :

Thanks

To clarify some potential misunderstanding:
I cannot even create a VPN configuration. Whenever I tap on the plus-Button in the VPN-activity the encryption password for my device is asked. And that again and again ...
In the meantime I found a App from my router's manufacturer (Fritz!Box), which easily lets me create the VPN and gives me a stable connection.
I also had a contact to a very nice person from OnePlus, but I should re-lock my bootloader, which I want to avoid, because a rooted device is ways more important for ma, than creating a VPN with Android's on-board-tools.
Hope this clears, that the problem is not connecting to a VPN, but creating a connection.
Cheers, Klaus

I will do later today ...

I had the same problem, and finally it was my fault. I inverted the user password and the shared key password of the VPN. Be sure to double check the correct password when prompted.

Exactly what i'm saying, if I understand your steps correctly : when you click "+" you are prompted with the edit credentials of the vpn
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You have to input the user password and shared key password in the correct places.
If you mix them up the next prompt will ask you again, and again, and again, and again for the password

Exactly this IS te problem: When I click the '+'-Button I am asked for the password of my device.
I am *NOT* prompted for the credentials of a new VPN.
And then the password prompt repeats ever and ever ...
BTW, entering a wrong password here, is rejected, so I am sure to have entered the correct device-password.

ok my bad
is it the password for credential storage ?
if yes : go to lockscreen options, disable swipe to unlock or password to unlock
instead set a pin to unlock or a schema
confirm the pin (or the schema)
go back to the vpn menu, and normally now when you click the "+" it will not ask you anymore for this device/storage password and let you edit/add a new VPN

The solution

Yes it was that password. Together with OnePlus-Support I found a Solution:
Switching the unlock method from password to pin or pattern, and then back to password, and then - voila -
Adding a VPN works!
Thanks, for the support!

exactly what I was thinking, it's an old bug present since android 4.x
sorry I didn't read correctly your problem the first time

terminal Server Port number

Hi,
Is there any way to use the terminal server client to use different port numbers. I have terminal servers that use non standard as well as default ports, we change to get though firewalls ect. I know you can change the default listener port, is there anyway to enter the port number from the TS interface, in the windows world I would just enter servername:2323 and it would use port 2323.. Any ideas?
With the WM6 version of Remote Desktop you can enter the URL/IP Address followed by a colon and then the port number, but not in WM5.
You could try and install the WM6 version that's attached, although I haven't tried it on WM5. (DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK, ETC)
What you can do with the WM5 version of RDP is
1. Copy and paste the default RDP Shortcut on the PPC and rename it with any name describing the server you want to connect to.
2. Run the new RDP shortcut and then use the Running Programs tab in the Start > Settings > System tab > Memory app to actually stop RDP. (This creates the necessary registry entries.)
3. Edit the following registry key on the PPC.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\<NEW SHORTCUT NAME>]
Add a DWORD value named "Server Port" and enter the new port number
you want to use.
For what it's worth, the WM6 version allows automatic login and is far more responsive.
Terminal Server
Thanks!! The WM6 works great, one note it doesn't replace the old version. Just had to create a shortcut to the new version and it works with no problems.
hey, i´ve got some questions,

i copied the original wptsc.exe and renamed it to exampletsc.exe and started it. i stoped it as you describe and checked the registry for the keys but i can´t find a new folder with the name of the new rdp file... i can only find and edit the default folder.

[Q] re-unlock problem. Please help

Installed WP7 successfully, and unlocked it as instructed.
However, didnt have the activation code. So used everything except Windows Live services.
Next day, I got the code from Microsoft and activated my WP7.
But now the phone has been locked, and I cant unlock it. Tried everything mentioned here like setting dates, turning off firewall etc, but no success.
When I run Chevron, it says can't connect with device.
Otherwise, I am able to connect to Zune and transfer media files.
I like the OS, but dont want to be limited by Marketplace only. I want to install apps. Right now, I cant even install from marketplace as I think there is a limit.
Before you quit on this amazing OS,,,been in the same boat as you for the last two days...just fixed not more than two minutes prior to this post.
-Hard reset your phone
-Do nothint with it besides seting up mail account (not live ofcourse or you migh end up attempting to unlock)
-resend certificate and install on phone
-make sure phone synced with zune
-run chevron as administrator and unlock!
-now deploy all the necessary setup tools,,,Connection setup, XMDMoDDeployer, and Touch explorer,,,finish set up process like you did before.
-use activation code and vwalaa!!!
And by the way,,what ever you do do not try the stop chevron Unlocking reg edit. It has been reported to be the cause of this annoying issue.....and besides you are better off unlocking everytime you wish to deploy an up with chevron than trying to do the initial rom setup and unlocking.,,,if you know what I mean.
Hope this helps.
First read this
a) Make sure you properly install the certificate from your email.
b) Make sure you run the xaps after install and extract then move the file correctly.
I would say a good 85% of cases where you either cant unlock or your phone relocks is because of the above to issues. There are other factors but the above imo are the two mains ones.
PS.. This is NOT the Q&A/General forum , this is the dev forum, please do not post here again.

Ummm, not BS, something is causing a re-lock, but setting the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to invalid values makes ChevronWP7 fail no matter what... Read this thread: For those who can't unlock anymore using ChevronWP7, here's why!
DanielNTX said:
I wrote this inside of another thread, but decided to make a new thread because others may not find it or read it. For those who have tried everything, this is the reason why you can't unlock the phone unless you do a full reset:
The majority of the failures to unlock your phone again is because you used a registry script that changed the HD2 to identify it as an HD7 and may have included registry entries that set PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to 127.0.0.1 or a Null value and somehow your phone became relocked. Once it's set this way, no matter what you do to unlock the phone it won't work because the proper server to query is "developerservices.windowsphone.com" is not defined on the phone. ChevronWP7 works by hijacking and spoofing the address of developerservices.windowsphone.com to be your local computer and then responds appropriately over port HTTPS (443) to the phone.
From this post, Microsoft/ChevronWP7 responds with this:
Code:
<DaysLeft>365</DaysLeft>
<AppsAllowed>10</a:AppsAllowed>
If you set it to 127.0.0.1 in the registry this references your phone when it tries to unlock. The phone itself is not running a spoofed HTTPS server so it will never work. Setting it to null means it doesn't no where to go either. If your phone is working in Zune and you hit the end button on the phone, you will notice ChevronWP7 will report that the phone is pin-locked, this means ChevronWP7 knows about the phone, but the "uh oh - Please make sure it's connected using USB, Please start the Zune application" message it generates is kind of ambiguous and is not the actual error we are seeing here.
The original values are these:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
and the corresponding certificate is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's how the phone can trust the HTTPS connection because you imported the certificate.
Now if you change the URL to something else, you will need a corresponding certificate. You can make one with makecert.exe or makessl.exe form the various resource/development toolkits out there on the Microsoft website.
In my example, I'm going to use a site that doesn't exist "developerservices.unlock.me". You should change the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt on the phone as follows:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
Now in your hosts. file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc folder, you should set up an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's own IP address.
Once you do you need to install a new certificate on the phone for whatever host in the URL you made and you will be able to use ChevronWP7 to unlock incase it ever locks you out again.
To simplify the making a self-signed certificate portion, I've created a cert for "developerservices.unlock.me" with the validity date of 1000 days. It's included in this post. Hope this helps you all with maintaining an unlocked Windows Phone 7 and understanding why ChevronWP7 won't unlock anymore.

[Q] forgot password

i forgot the device lock password, how can I remove it? pls help.
this is a general android question and has nothing to do with GNote.. I don't have any information as never happened with me... this forum is packed with the same exact questions and there are many youtube videos explaining how to unlcok it back
As far as I recall, put it wrong a few times then you can recover it using your Google account.
Easiest way is to hard reset ( Vol up + Menu + poer - entre recovery mode, then select wipe data/factory reset - yes)
If you want to backup before hard reset, just install this
yes you cant make simple installation in locked screen, so first open above said link to PC, login with gmail account which you have on device, install it, it will install to device.
Now this applicatin will temporary disable lock screen, take backup of your req stuff n Hard reset
Notes:
This application will also run each time the device is booted so you can always bypass the lock screen.
This application does not remove or reset your pattern/PIN, it only temporarily disables the lock screen so you can access your device.
This method will not work on certain devices, but give it a go, it is free after all!

You're advising a device-wide wipe to remove a lockscreen password, overkill much?
If you've registered your Note with Samsung Dive, it can remove the lock screen and reset it remotely. Otherwise they can use your suggested app, then register and then reset it.
Good Idea, though 1 Q, Samsung dive unlock screen which is locked by Dive PW, does it unlock screen which is differently here in this case?
thanks. unfortunately I don't know the google account on the device...

So first of all you forget "your" password, and now you don't know "your" google account?
I don't suppose you know where "you" bought the phone from, or how much "you" paid either?
I think Thread shud b closed isn't ?
if i'm not wrong, you can reset your phone, you will always locate it with samsung dive, right ?

[Q] WIFI password registered is encrypted?

Hi all.
If you have root, you can access data/misc/wifi, and open WPA_SUPPLICANT.CONF with a text editor and check the wifi passwords registered on the device.
wifi spots look like this:
network={
ssid="wifi hotspot name here"
psk="password here"
key_mgmt=Encryption_Type_Here
priority=x
}
So, PSK is usually the "PASSPHRASE", the same you typed to register the wifi spot.
All Android devices I have tested are like this, PSK shows the passphrase.
But on my Galaxy S5, PSK doesn't show the PASSPHRASE but a lot of numbers and letters instead.
I don't know what kind of encryption is that or why they did that, I don't even know If it is google or Samsung choice.
Take a look at my wpa_supplicant.conf:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, does anyone know how to convert this encrypted psk line into passphrase?
Thank you.
I have the same problem, anybody know the answer?

You're probably have activated some security feature to encrypt the data.

Don't know why it's not working then as I'm with stock kernel and just changed it to false. Another option is to flash a custom kernel and see if it works then.
The problem is following. I change the ro.sec..... in build.prob to false. After this all my stored psk in the wpa_supplicant are still in hex. If i delete wlan station und reconnect new (with retype the passphrase), the psk is now the passphrase.
But change the buld.prob do not convert in the wpa_supplicant the psk to passphrase.

For me it converted my stored passwords so i have no clue why it didn't on your phone. If it's a G900F, it should do it.

Go to root browserGo to/etc/secure_storage/.system.wpa_supplicant*then delete this folder (only ".secure.supplicant.conf"), then reboot.All saved passwords will be erased for the first time.It works for samsung.

Just use wifi password viewer from xposed..
Note: it needs your phone to be rooted..
my wifi psk also in hex or whatever encryption it is instead of passphrase..
Wifi password module in xposed
Install exposed first then install this module, activate and reboot..
My wifi password hidden in dots..
After installing the module and reboot, it should be look like this..
When i tapped the dots, my password revealed..
Voila.!!!
Thanks to the xposed team and devs..

Changing encryption password?

I'm using the default "partition based" encryption that came with the device. Afaik encryption is done using the standard password of "default_password", because thats what twrp can decrypt with. In the event my device were to get lost or stolen or something, with the standard password it's pretty easy for anyone to get access to all the data on the device. Now my question is, how do i change the pw from "default_password" to one of my choosing. Preferably without losing data.
Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Password should ask you if you want secure start up; saying yes should change that password (without data loss).
Advisable to have a backup, of course. There is no going back if you e.g., forget the password.

From what I'm seeing in those results, he's right. Changing the lock screen / boot pin, pass or pattern will change it.
Well i went the settings way, then set screen lock back to pin. So encryption pw should be changed. What's the quickest method to verify it actually is? Something through TWRP possible?

TWRP will use the same pin then. If you enter the wrong password you'll see an error about unable to decrypt data. Entering the pin will let you in. Typing "default_password" should be invalid now, it won't work.
Well doesn't look like it, just went into twrp 3.0.2-2. Tapped hamburger icon in bottom right, saw this

I don't know if you understand dutch but 'standaardwachtwoord' means 'default password'. Quests what I'm asking is what can I do in TWRP to test the password? When going into twrp it did NOT ask me for my pin NOR my password.
Flashed TWRP 3.0.3, started a nandroid backup. Same thing. Line 5 'standaardwachtwoord', 'successfully decrypted using default password'

I cannot access my data from TWRP using "default_password"
"Failed to decrypt data"
I must use my pin. Have you set it to require pin on boot? TWRP won't let you in with the default password if you do.
Aside from that, you could try the ADB shell commands in one of the other links above, but I've never done that before.
No, I haven't set it to require pin nor pass on boot. Only as screenlock.

The problem is now that TWRP refuses to accept it? ""Unable to mount data". Using twrp 3.0.3." Or am i reading this incorrectly. Every time i go into TWRP i'm prompted for my password. Entering seemsthe pw i set does get me into TWRP? Is this normal behavior after changing encryption password or a bug. I've only had my Nexus 6P a couple months now and only recently found out about the "default_password" used for encryption. So as a security measure i changed it. Then set screenlock back to pin.
So is this normal behaviour after changing pw to a custom one instead of the default one?
