[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMario:
i charge my phone face up before going to bed and noticed that the screen comes on and stays on after the phone is charged to 100%. it'll stay on all night until i hit the power button. i'm worried whether this will damage the screen, cause burn-in, or decrease the battery life.

i checked under Developer Options and made sure the Stay Awake option is unchecked. anyone having similar issues or know of any other things to try? its driving me nuts.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FancyMonkey:
I had the same problem and it was quite annoying. You can fix this by going to Setting -> Developer Options and then uncheck the Stay Awake option.

What happens is you get a notification when it reaches 100%, and if it is set to never sleep when plugged in, the notification turns on the screen and it then doesn't turn off.

Hope this help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMario:
yeah i already mentioned in the original post that Stay Awake was unchecked. so not sure what the heck is going on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FancyMonkey:
Sorry. I should have seen that you had already configured the Stay Awake option.

It looks like a bug if it is still keeping the screen on if the Stay Awake is turned off.

I just tested my phone and it does turn on the screen once the battery reaches 100%, but then turns it off after a few seconds.

I have seem someone mention that Daydream needs to be turned off as well. That is under the Settings -> Display and Wallpaper
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMario:
yep, checked Daydream and its off too.

Bypass(Reset) Lock screen Pattern/Password/PIN/Fingerprint scanning without wipe

We know it's a big pain when you forget PIN/Passowrd/Pattern and you simply can't afford to wipe device as you don't have backup.

Then What?

You were all the night busy with your new beast and when you wake up in morning and notice that your GF/BF took revenge by registering and locking device by his/her fingerprint

Then what? :p

Very simple. Flash attached file from recovery. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] yussuf007:
Thx. But this not work for me ....

I lost my saved finger scanner sample after a nandroid restor.... and after i flash this zip i always got a google keep fc
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
I have tested and it reset unlock options to swipe. Still finger print registration remain there. But device will be unlocked

Need to figure out bypassing roam restrictions in download booster
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] ceo.mtcl:
My company policy makes me enter a 6 digit password. It's just a pain. Can I bypass this restriction? They have made their app as device admin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] elroy944:
does this work on more devices like galaxy s5?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] GreenBot:
Wait, does this mean that the passkey and fingerprints are not secure since everyone can use this to reset/bypass the lock without wipe? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Obviously. Once your device is rooted / CWM installed, there is always chance to modify your system.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Usually samsung device have common storing location for PW PIN etc. SO I believe it should work on S5 too. You can try it, I don't believe it will affect anything else even it fail to reset.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] jh787:
Just like that...?

I take it this needs a custom recovery?

So... all a thief has to do is flash a custom recovery from download mode and then flash this file to get past fingerprint scanner and even a strong alphanumeric password?

DONT KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Jostian:
try the app Nine, its an exchange email app which lets you set the 6 digit on the app as opposed to the phone, so you can unlock the phone as per normal with swipe but when you want to open the email app (Nine) then only do you put your 6 digit code, works like a charm, just an idea cos as far as I know there is no exchange security bypass as yet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] astrodemoniac:
I logged in only to thank you on this suggestion. This is one awesome app and my device is finally mine again :)

I set up pin code on the app + full encryption of the data, so it's very safe, all the draconian admin policies from my organizations admins are now gone, plus my device is now intelligently set to have automatically enable pin when I'm not at home.

If anything I have now double security because when I'm not at home, the device requires PIN and the corporate mail does too + it's all encrypted. Well worth the money.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] tonus76:
What about for reactivation lock. Is it secure?And can i flash that zip file with stock recovery. My phone is not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] JakeFoster:
This does not work on Galaxy S5
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] stat1124:
Did you use Odin to flash this file? Is so can I get some feedback on how because odin doesnt take .zip files. Since I do not have access to the file system, I can't move the files on to phone. Is there another way to flash this files to the galaxy 4 note. I am from the world of iPhone Jailbreaking and helping out a friend.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Ottschke:
With Odin you flash your custom recovery. Flash attached file from recovery, it's said in OP.

Have fun :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Rsroms:
I took a nandroid backup with fingerprints registered, when ever i restore, it does not recognise my finger prints and even the backup password says incorrect. I tried flashing the utility but no luck. Any work around for the solution as i had to factory reset from recovery to clear the data
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
It's known issue. Before making nandroid remove registered finger prints.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
Can this be used to erase the stored fingerprints and reset them?

i used a nandroid backup and while i'm not locked out of the phone, i am locked out of changing fingerpring settings - and the backup password is corrupt as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Rsroms:
You have to do a clean wipe, i did this too :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
there has got to be a way to reset that :/

surely someone with a clean OS without the bug could make a backup, then add a bunch more fingers, make another backup and find what files have changed. this is XDA, surely someone can find a fix.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Posted zip should reset finger print too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
didnt work. i still get 1 fingerprint as registered, and a backup password i cant use. totally locked out of fingerprint settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Are you on lollipop? May be I need to check if they have change location of file on lollipop.

I have tested When created and finger print was able to reset
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Nah, they probably didn't. Your mod works with lollipop as well.

I believe he has restored a nandroid backup with fingerprint on and that's why the whole service now doesn't work.

Your mod indeed bypasses security and we can actually use our phone (thank you!). But, if you restore with fingerprint on as I already said, even after flashing your mod, you'll be ableto bypass the locking screen but fingerprints won't be recognised and the whole service is sadly pretty much unusable.. the only way to have it working again is by a factory reset.

Backup password won't work either, it'll say wrong all the time.

Edit: Just checked your last response and you're aware of that so.. ignore my post. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
4.4.4

happy to help with any testing required, this was a TWRP backup that i restored without realising it broke fingerprint.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
I think one thing can be a culprit.

Check do you have mcRegistry folder in system/app folder? I mean after Restoring nandroid
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
yes, with one .tlbin file in there - that file was supposedly created on 01/08/2008 as well, seems a little odd.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
How many total files are there in mcRegistry folder
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
just one. removing it made no difference.

think its possible to import files from a 'clean' install to reset it to no fingerprints and no password?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
I think there should be many files. Check stock rom and just flash missing files. Nandroid may fail to restore properly.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
bleh, sounds like a pain in the butt XD

next time i flash a rom i'll check that folder - probably when loolipoop finally comes out for us G users

edit: the only file in that folder came with my echoe ROM, when would others be produced? would a clean wipe + custom install cause this problem as well?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Which device you have and which ROM? I can provide if I have that ROM on my machine
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
910G, echoe V2 based on NK4 build.

deleting the one file in there (which is included in the roms ZIP file) doesnt seem to remove the invalid fingerprint + registered password.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
wait attaching zip to this post in few min

Edit : I have check and KK have single file only. But here is from stock ROM just flash and check it. If still issue then try making logcat.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
flashing that zip didnt change anything.

trying to do a logcat now, not something i've done before.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

logcat: sorry if its incorrect, not something i have experience in.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4vey2oucgo0l96/2015-03-26-16-55-00.txt?dl=0

rebooted phone, ran logcat app (catlog) cleared the log (not sure if that was for the GUI, or the file), ran the fingerprint scanner and let it error, then exported the file.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dr.ketan:
Try wipe data for setting and setting storage with titanium. Again mark that sometime wiping it may make device unresponsive. In that case you may needs to restore nandroid again

edit: Also wipe data for fingerprint with titanium
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
tried that, also didnt work.

stubborn setting, i wonder where the hell its stored. since it comes back with a nandroid but corrupt it must be in two locations - one that knows theres a password and fingerprint and how many, but the files containing the password and fingerprints are gone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] DVS69:
Didn't work for me :( Installed it and when device reset it went right back to the lock screen

Stock Sprint Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] frankf75:
After restoring a nandroid, I lost my fingerprints and was unable to go to fingerprint manager. I could see there were 2 fingerprints but was unable to start fingerprint manager

Following steps solved my problem

* In Titanium took a "backup all user app + system data"

* reboot to CWM and "Wipe all user data"

* reboot and ignore settings(I didn't login to Google Play)

* check Fingerprint manager to see if it's accessible

* installed Titanium APK from external SD

* Started Titanium and "restore missing app with data"

* rebooted

* In Titanium "Restore all system data" (unselected Fingerprints 1.1.0)

* during restore it hanged restoring wssyncmlnps

* rebooted and unselected wssyncmlnps and fingerprints

It restored all system files

Rebooted and my phone was as it was without any fingerprints

I have about 90 apps including my settings of Nova luncher, it would have take me hours to configure everything again.

This took me less than 30 minutes

I hope this helps
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
Can't believe I haven't tried this way, thank you for letting us know! Seems indeed faster and much much easier instead of setting up everything from scratch..

Still sucks tho that we have to erase all our fingerprints every time we have to get a nandroid backup..

Hello Dr.ketan i m using indian note 4 910g.. i m not rooted ,i m on stock ..due to company device policy i cant chane my lock code...can i use this bypass method to bypass screen lock..plz suggest.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] skyred5:
In that case, ultimately a clean wipe is still required. Sigh. I'm stuck in the same situation as you guys. One thing I noticed when I went into settings and attempted to search, it was trying to do a data restoration... "restoring data..." for quite a while, but still of no use.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] frankf75:
What do you mean with "clean wipe"?

If you follow my steps you won't lose data or settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] skyred5:
Clean wipe meaning "wipe all user data" like u mentioned in your steps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Lord_of_Death:
Need help, ive got a note 4 sm-910c on lollipop, and forgot my "password". After i use this method, is there a way i can retrieve my old password or will it be deleted....
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] murrayit:
Will this work on SGS6? Or alternatively could you help me to locate and delete needed files on SGS6 running 5.1.1 Lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] dirt_squirrel:
a little apprehensive...

I'm trying to recover photos from a friend's phone that has a broken screen. The touch is unresponsive so we can't use his pattern unlock, so this seems like it would be a good solution. My only concern is that we don't want to lose any stored data as we're trying to retrieve baby pictures that weren't uploaded to google.

Just to alleviate my concerns, this WON'T mess with the internal storage so that we can just use a swipe unlock via OTG mouse and retrieve the photos with Kies right?

I'd hate to lose the photos of his kid's first year :(

*Edit* Also, does this require being rooted or anything? This phone is running completely stock and it doesn't even have ADB enabled in dev options.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] freeza:
I've figured out how to remove registered fingerprints without factory resetting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
All solutions tested in this thread require root mate, because you have to edit/delete specific system files so administrator rights are definitely needed.

You can probably unlock your device tho through Samsungs site if your friend has a Samsung account registered in his phone (plus Wi-Fi or data is on).

Saw your way in the other thread, nice find! Just wanted to ask tho, does backup password work afterwards in settings if we want to add/delete our fingerprints or a factory reset is needed in order to do that?
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] freeza:
Since deleting that file removes your registered prints, adding new ones will require you to set up a new backup password. :) Lockscreen seems to store your password somewhere else, which is why it works from the lockscreen but not from settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] blackrose1:
Does this work on Android 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 ? [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

And do you test this on note5?

Tnx for your grate work
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] macgyver40:
910T with 5.1.1 maximum ovrdrive ROM. When i make a nandroid in twrp I don't have a lock set. I do have 2 fingers registered and restored a backup last nite and the settings for finger are still there and work. So,you don't need to clear out the settings just don't have it active when making the backup and your good. I have done it many times without issues on 4.4.4 5.0.1 and 5.1.1.

Works great even in recent rom's 5.1.1(L12). I have a question, is there any way this file can be modified to work in a Galaxy s5? My S5 have pattern lock and in a morning it gone rogue and it wont work any more. Phone is in functional state except the screen. Phone is rooted and have custom recovery.

Note: I tried the Otg and mouse method numerous times and i cannot beat the pattern as i kept it li'l complicated:(

Help!

Hi. Firstly a disclaimer: I am not a developer but am desperate, if you could help please. I am locked out of my Samsung Note4 (fingerprint swipe would not work this morning, and I am not remembering my password), and would prefer not to have to wipe it. I have downloaded the zip file, but need some help to understand how to flash it so that my password can be overwritten. If you could please give me a step by step guide? TIA!
[Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Development] Mussels84:
flash it in a custom recovery like TWRP.

another option would be to ODIN flash a custom recovery, and then connect it to a PC or use the custom recoveries file browser (TWRP has one) to move the files to an SD card.

Just made it 10 x Easier for thieves to steal data :P You may as well not bother with a lock now or lock every app on your phone which is a real pain. The security is already poor enough as it is without these flash-able zips around. -.-

I'm surprised it hasn't been removed to be honest D:

It's a nice idea but this will surely get used for the wrong reasons more than it will to help people out forgetting there lock code or chopping off there thumb by accident.
