Hello,
I have a note 4 (Italian) blocked on the lockscreen.
after updating to 5.1 lollipopop (samsung official update via wifi),
the fingerprint reader has started to give some problems, then in about 24 hours by the update the phone does not ask me more unlocking fingerprint, but only by backup password;
but also by entering the backup password will not unlock, and says password wrong.
unfortunately debugging is not active ....
What can I do before performing a hard reset?
thanks!
Happened twice with my phone ...at last it accepted the backup password. .

i don't think that work on my note.... i have I tried a million times
Help!!
Doesnt it give you an Unlock via Google option?
Use Find my phone for unlock
You can unlock your phone screen with browser.

Do hard reset if u don't find solution.
I think there is a way that's need TWRP recovery and you must flash a file!

unfortunately I tried using Google Android Device to replace the password and lock the phone but it says it on the phone already has a password ....
I did not want to make a hard reset because I do not have a data backup ....
I can use this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ck-screen-pattern-password-pin-t2948336/page7 ? But I do not have root permissions, and I would not risk after knox 0x1 because I noticed a spot in the display that I should replace warranty
thanks

You can always go back to your original software after root bat you will trip Knox for ever that mean you will void your warranty.
I saw that came out a firmware in late November N910FXXS1COK2 always based on 5.1.1 but with the fix, if I did the flash of this by Odin on my mobile in theory should fix it if it really had been caused by the previous update?
Odin also works with phone locked and debugging disabled?
thank you
Hi all,
I have encrypted my device and using PATTERN as the security. I do restart device once in a week and it asks encryption pattern to start Android. Today when i restarted, it asked me PASSWORD instead of PATTERN. I tried Google password here but it does not work. I dont understand y its asking for PASSWORD when i have selected PATTERN.
I cannot start my device now. I cannot afford to factory reset as the data is imp to me
Please help/advice/guide.

Guys, Do not encrypt your phone. Motorola dont have any resolution for this problem.
Infact their Engineer told there is no such option which enables pattern/password at the boot up (Can u believe it?). They have such ppl on their support.
My only options are:
1. Delete all data
2. Install custom recovery to access encrypted data. But i believe that will void my warranty.
If anybody has any other solution, please advise.
Solved it
Guys i have solved the issue
Saved my data too. no need for custom recovery.

Hi,
I was changing pattern. Somehow I applied wrong pattern and then locked phone.
Now I can't unlock with fingerprint. There aren't any connect Google Account button even I am connected to internet mobile + wifi.
I didn't install TWRP and my phone is not rooted. Are there any way to unlock without losing any data? I can do anything possible (like root or install twrp) if I wont lose data.
wont a hard reset work
Without TWRP you can't do much...

That will delete data.
Unfortunately, hard reset is the only way out of this. Since the data on the phone is encrypted, you require the pattern to decrypt the data in order to access it. This also includes access to the hash that is generated by your fingerprints which is why you need to enter your PIN or pattern on startup before you can unlock with your fingerprint.
Bottom line, never ever forget your backup authentication method!
Edit: I can't guarantee this will work, but it's worth a try:
Visit https://www.google.com/android/find (Find My Device)
Log in with your Google account
Click "Lock" and enter a new password.
Try that new password on your phone.

Hi, I'm trying to get my phone back. I lost my phones password that is used to unlock the phone.
I dont know my google account im using on the phone either. Yes this is my phone.
I dont want to get locked out with google frp either
If i put twrp on and do a factory wipe, will i still need the pin?
Also, my phone doesn't need the pin to boot. thanks in advance

No you won't need a pin in twrp if you have not encrypted the device..no you won't need pin to boot, but frp might get you..not sure how that works, I also feel like there are files you can delete through twrp to remove lock code, someone else will have to confirm this though, just something I heard
thanks but its not a concern now. I was on latest official ota update, flashed twrp but cant get lineage, or any custom rom to fully boot. It just gets to the logo screen and wont go any further. I have not used my moto a while.

FRP is disabled on unlocked bootloader.
PIN can be deleted with twrp's file manager.
LOS - you flashed wrong build. You need custom rom for N Modem. LOS by Hashbang works on N modem.
Hi i have successfully installed EU rom last week, now I wanted to root my phone, but when i enter twrp its asking me for password to decrypt but i never set any password for that. Any ideas? I tried my PIN but it doesnt work. I don't want more format data...

It works perfectly with your pin/password you use in Android for unlocking the screen. It can also work with your pattern for unlocking the screen in Android, if you use ir.
Make sure to use the latest official TWRP 3.5.1_9-0
If neccessary, reset your pin/password in Android, Settings
But if you switched the ROM - you HAD to Format data
ill try reset pin
EDIT: I used pattern lock and now it works

Hi ,
I was using PE rom , but it was stuck on "NO OS installed".
So i tried flashing another rom and now it doesn't accept my decryption pattern.
Any solution except formatting data ?
Please help.

When you change a ROM, you MUST Format Data (mot Wipe Data)
But your problem might be also something else, wrong flashing ROM, who knows (there are guudes how to do that - seems people don't find them and don't read, because the guide must definitely say about Formatting Data, hence it wouldn't be later questions about - unfortunately, common issue)
