[Q] S5 encryption

Is the only solution to encryption the S5 is to use password to lock the device ?
I have a not rooted S5.
I would like to use the figerprint unlock (it's fast).
I can go for a pin unlock mode.
but a password, is realy impractical
Thanks

Restoring sm-g935f S7 Edge from SD Card?

Hi,
I have recently acquired a s7 edge from work but they appear to have locked down the phone using administrator profiles.
No google play (no way of side loading it will just not appear), No developer mode menu (when mode switched on), no way of booting into download mode (keys not work). I can NOT turn on USB debugging mode as the menu option does not appear when I turn it on (it says developer mode is turned on already). I can not do a restore to factory defaults as this option is greyed out and the restore mode option factory reset option does NOT blank the phone. The phone is not recognised by KIES or Samsung Smart Switch and as I can not boot into download mode or enable USB debugging I can not use ODIN/Root tools. I can side loads APK over the WIFI but I can NOT run any app to boot me into download mode as they require root but I am unable to root the phone.
I want to flash to stock firmware so I can use the phone to its full capacity. The only option I can think now is to boot into recovery mode and use the update from SD card option as I can boot into recovery mode.
Can someone provide me download links/instructions for the recovery file for sm-g935f s7 edge that will allow me to flash to stock firmware using the update from SD card option in recovery mode.

Recover data from S8 with broken screen

Hi everyone!
I broke my S8 screen completely by dropping it (the phone is still working, not know if the touch still works).
I want to recover WhatsApp backup folder and DCIM folder (i had no backup service enabled, nor samsung account, nor google photo or gdrive), so i thought to go ahed through ADB. Anyway adb list no devices until i unlock my phone through pattern code ( i had no facial/retina/fingerprint mode set).
So i thought to proceed through download mode, flash twrp through odin and access adb through twrp. Anyway it looks like i cannot use odin to flash until i trigger on "OEM Unlock" in developer options which i can't do no more cause of the broken screen.
Is there another way to enable OEM Unlock which doesn't require touch input? Or is there any other way to recover my two folders?
A big thanks for everyone who could help

You can use an otg adapter and a mouse and try to replicate your pattern code and after your in just transfer your files. If you happen to have a second cell phone I would suggest you practise a bit on that screen first so you can replicate the exact movements to unlock your phone. Had an issue with my s6 edge and that worked like a charm.

If you don't know how to recover data from S8 phone, just use an Android data recovery software, it can help you recover data from an broken Android device, it is really simple to finsih the recovery process. And you can preview and recover the data from your broken phone, so that you don't lose these data.

Log into Samsung Find my mobile. Use your Samsung Account details to log in.
There you will see alot of options that you can perform on your Galaxy S8 remotely.
Use the remotely unlock my device option to unlock your device.
Then connect your phone to the Laptop or PC using data cable and recover the data.
Hope it helps.
