"Encrypt device" gone on 10.1 with SPen? - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I need to encrypt the device SM-P580. Looked anywhere but cannot find that option - only SD card encryption. What happened? Is it just me?
Thanks

You should probably use a password with letters, numbers, and symbols to lock your tablet. This will also prevent people from connecting it to a PC to transfer files unless they unlock the tablet first.

It is encrypted by default.

The solution for Microsoft Intune was to enable pin/password on boot. That turned to be good enough to make it happy

Please help :(

Guys i know this is not the correct place but someone can please tell me "what to do if i have lost my password" ??
I am using Windows 7
Laptop of Sony Vaio
Please someone help
I know that this could possibly be used malicously but if you can access another computer, download OphCrack and burn it to a CD or write it to a USB drive and you can use that to recover your password. I've used it multiple times on Windows Installations for friends who forgot their passwords on their home computers, it does work. xD

simply download the ISO, burn it to disc and then boot it, it will have the utility for recovering the password. Three are hundreds of tutorials on how to recover your password with OphCrack

I use a program called Kon-Boot, its good enough for most tasks, it wont help if your part of a domain, it also wont help if you have encrypted any drives or folders.
it wont tell you the password
so how does it work?
well, the short answer is that it hijacks the boot sequence and bypasses the password check, you just click on the user and ignore the password, once your in you can change your password or a safer option is to add another admin account, then log in to that and change your password. The problem is if you encrypted anything, then im afraid to say your ****ed!
you see the encryption key is part made up by your actual password, so by using my method to change the password, what you will end up with is data still encrypted on your old password.
the ethical uses of this are limited, but there are uses which is why im happy to share it, just don't **** around if for any reason some data is encrypted and the password is likely to "turn up" again because once you've opened this bag of worms you cant go back so essentially the data will "vanish"

Password would be gone, but so would days. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.com use that to copy the ISO to your flash drive.

Galaxy S5 & Encrypted 64GB SDCard - fail to mount

Hello
i have the Gold Galaxy S5 & a 64GB SDCard from Samsung.
The phone and SDCard are encrypted and have worked fine for a long while.
One day I tried accessing the files stored in the SDCard by connecting my S5 via USB 2 to my laptop (Ubuntu 15.10); and It failed to mount since.
I have created an image of the SDCard using 'dd' in Linux.
Therefore, I would rule out a hardware failure.
Furthermore, only once this card was mounted on this phone and I had a glimpse of my pictures, again it failed to copy anything out via USB.
Currently, when I put the SDCard into the phone it shows notifications saying:
... Preparing SD Card
... SD Card safe to remove
As I still have the phone encrypted - and I presume the encryption key are present.
Is there some way that I can copy the encryption key out of the phone? Use those to read the image of the SDCard?
The partition table of this SDCard does not appear to be correct - is it encrypted as well? Is this expected?
It is really annoying to have this happening when I was copying the data out of the phone as a backup ...
It would be really great to have my data back.
Your suggestion on how to solve this problem will be most welcome.
bumping ....
Thx
Since the moment that you damaged the encryption key protecting the card, the data over this card does not belong to you any more.

sorry
how did I 'damage' the encryption key?
I tried reading the SDCard in the same phone.
I have older backups of the phone that included the SDCard - would that help?
Thanks,
You better ask further questions in a forum specialized to Ubuntu 15.10

Doesn't sound like a problem on ubuntu's side unless it wrote some header or something when it tried to read.

The card was mounted in the Phone - Ubuntu accessing it through the USB3
And it just stopped working - just like that!
But, could actually understand that it was something like that.
Would it be possible to reuse an old image (done with dd) of this USB to try and resurrect these files?
for info:
- where are the keys kept?
- surely the phone has some.
Cheers

If I was aware of that? I would require 1000$ payment so to share it.
Message to all:
1) As long Samsung provides software tools only compatible with Microsoft Windows and Android, this translates that other OS platforms them are not supported.
2) Any attempt hacking phone encryption this is illegal.
3) One desperate owner who lost access to SD-card, he should physically visit Samsung service center, demonstrate proof of ownership for phone and card, and ask their help.

Android=Linux in a very basic sense. Even then, it's not 'not supported', furthermore as I said earlier, itse extremely unlikely plugging the phone in would break it regardless of the OS.

When you use any OS this working with command line, this translates that if you are a terrible commander? you army this to be also drowned in the river because of you.
This is what it did happened here too.

How to Automatically Enable MTP?

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how to set MTP automatically every time i plug my phone in? I tried in developer options but it only works one time & want it permanently. I am running the latest NBD90X Nougat Build.
Any help would be appreciated

You can't. It's a security measure, so others can't get all your files if you leave your phone on your desk, without first having to unlock your phone. But you can build your AOSP rom with a different default value.

I've found it! It's in /frameworks/base/services/usb/java/com/android/server/usb/UsbDeviceManager.java
mUsbDataUnlocked always gets false when you disconnect it from the computer. If it's set to true, then it uses your preferred setting, otherwise it's set to USB charging.

Sorry, I wasn't more clear on this. You have to build your own AOSP, and this is the source file you have to modify.

How to bypass gesture screen lock on Samsung Galaxy S10+ without losing data

Hi there,
I have Samsung Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975F/DS) in front of me. Device has pattern (gesture) screen lock (3x3) enabled. Phone's owner forgot his gesture. How to bypass this lock without losing data (no factory settings reset option).
What I have tried:
- connect phone over USB trying ADB. Since there is no USB debugging enabled ADB is deaf/blind. I cannot access files in /data/system to delete gesture.key file
- I have tried to connect SD card and install Aroma File Manager https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 but I was not able to mount a card. My tip is, that phone will not recognize new card when such card is inserted in locked regime.
- I have tried "adb sideload aroma-file-manager.zip" but it fails on "signatures". My tip is that you can manually update android only with files signed by manufacturer.
- "dr.fone - Unlock" has no support for Samsung Galaxy S10+
Limitations:
- I'm not able to mount new SD card
- ADB can do only "adb sideload ..."
- USB debugging is disabled
What else to try?
Can I somehow access phone system files using USB?
Easy way is use the Samsung findmymobile site to unlock. If you know the Samsung Account credentials.

This was not so bad advice. I will call on Monday to Samsung and ask them if phone with that IMEI has any Samsung Account.
But still, any other idea?
If he had a PC, it can have the Samsung Account already logged or with login and password saved on Chrome password manager for example.

If the widow has access to his email on a shared laptop she might be bale to recover or reset the Samsung credentials.

Google find my phone was not working. Samsung findmymobile.samsung.com worked. I unlocked phone using service from manufacturer. Password to the account was as same as gmail password I recovered from owner's laptop (Chrome password manager).
Thank you @orlandson and @daddymikey1975 - you have been helpful.
