[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulkaistos:
Thats an known issue with the nandroid-Backup.

Before creating a Backup you should reset your PIN or Pattern.

For now you can skip the Pin or Pattern by doing the following:

The easy way to fix that issue:

1) Restore from Nandroid Backup

2) Go into ADB and use the following commands:

rm /data/system/locksettings.db

rm /data/system/*.key

OR delete it via TWRP Filemanager

3) Boot and voila!

Note, it is recommended for you to restore your pin code afterwords.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverPosition:
Before making the nandroid backup, disable your security settings (pin number etc). Make the backup. Reboot. Add security settings back in. This is a Marshmallow development.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formula91:
If you want to make full backups without disabling security

There are several requirements

First, once *stock* rom is flashed, TWRP must never ever have system mounted as read-write, read only!

You have to backup system image along with boot and data.

Some custom roms will work. As a guideline, any rom that allows for Android Pay to work will allow it. One of SafetyNet API's checks is to make sure that the system matches the system image.

That will prevent this problem, I have done it myself.

The problem with the security comes from a mismatch in the system and system image.

So if you prevent TWRP from writing in system image, and you yourself prevent any changes to system, it should still work.

Did you already tried this??

The easy way to fix that issue:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] formula91:
By default TWRP does not mount system r/w

Flashing a custom ROM will also break it in general.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jkell69:
Glad i found a fix but this also made me realize how easy it would be to gain access to a password "protected" device with malicious intentions.. anyone else think this?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Yes, if your phone is not encrypted it is easy. However it becomes more difficult, maybe impossible, if your phone is encrypted. If encrypted there is no way to access /data to delete the required files.

I dont know if the other guy tried it or not .... But I did and it worked like a charm. Thanks man!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masInvasion:
Thank you for this. I was about to lose my patience. I had it set so pin is required to start Android and the pin worked fine on that screen but then when I was presented with the lockscreen, my fingerprint and my pin wouldn't work. This fixed it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonbiggs:
my data is encrypted. how does one decrypt permanently to avoid this hassle in the future?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
It's a TWRP issue, not an encryption issue. I have had the same issue on my decrypted 5X.

To decrypt, flash SuperSU or a custom kernel then format userdata either in TWRP or in fastboot (fastboot format userdata).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakzapster:
I tried flashing super su then too in security it's written Phone is Encrypted.

I'm on Franco kernel.

If you don't mind can u please explain it little detail exact steps to follow.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
My bad for the delay. Sure thing, both methods

will delete all of your data

from your phone. You can do this one of two ways. Boot into TWRP, flash SuperSU or a custom kernel, then either:

1) wipe internal storage under the TWRP option for Wipe

or

2) in fastboot (from a computer) enter this command: fastboot format userdata

You will be decrypted when you boot up and Settings/Security will display "Encrypt Phone." To update each month, flash the full factory then boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU or a custom kernel to maintain decrypt status.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
I would clarify that if you flash full factory even without the -w option, the phone will automatically reboot at the end and you may not have time to get into recovery first. If your phone reboots then it will be with the stock boot.img and your previously unencrypted userdata partition wll become encrypted again.

It is best if the individual images boot, system, vendor, cache were flashed by hand, then user reboots into recovery from the bootloader menu to run SuperSU install, prior to first boot. This will preserve the unencrypted userdata partition.

I think this is probably what you meant, but it wasn't stated with that much detail.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deagleonvalium:
I thought I was having some serious brain issues my PIN unlock my phone to start and for recovery, thank you I didn't have the. Key file I only had the one, I'm in
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitterBuffaloh:
Damn, so if you can reset a phones security code by just pressing power and volume down.. Doesn't that make phones with custom recoveries extremely vulnerable?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, but this has always been the case on Android.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjors86:
Well it isn't commonly know, atleast not by me
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Now you know that rooting and unlocking bootloaders on Android puts you at an increased risk of vulnerability.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
Thank you, I got back into my System but now after doing this, TWRP now thinks there is "No OS Installed" when there is and its working fine :/
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfhub:
If you leave your phone encrypted, then even in TWRP you'd need your pattern/PIN/password before you could remove those files.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbl1979:
I'm not sure if they can bypass this with a update to TWRP. In any case I hope Android N dosent have the same issue.

Ran into this same wrong PIN issue trying to restore a backup created using FlashFire on a 5X.

1) Restore from Nandroid Backup

2) Go into ADB and use the following commands:

rm /data/system/locksettings.db

OR delete it via TWRP Filemanager

3) Boot and voila! :good::good::good:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam_PS:
Clarification of encryption implications

This thread saved me a lengthy reinstall, thanks so much. Please any more experienced readers correct me, but as far as I can figure out the situation with encryption is this:

By default, modern Android will encrypt data. You can avoid it with custom kernels as described earlier in this thread.

With data encrypted, your phone data is still safe even with a custom recovery - the steps in this thread to remove the PIN can't be run without entering the PIN first.

If you are trying to run these steps on your phone with encrypted data, you need to mount data first using TWRP. Click "mount", then select "decrypt data" and you will be prompted for a password or PIN. Without this, all the "rm /data/" commands will fail with file not found errors.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefinancemaster:
I'm having the same issue. I'm locked out of my own damn phone!!! I'll try this...

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

UPDATE: I'm having issues. I'm at work, don't have the newer Type C cable for my computer with me... Can't do ADB. I look in TWRP for the 2 files using the built in file manager, but I can't find them. It's frustrating, to say the least. I "mounted" system, so I can see the system folder... Am I going blind? Any other insight would be greatly appreciated!

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

UPDATE to the UPDATE: Turns out I hadn't typed in the password to TWRP when it loaded, so it wasn't showing the system FILES even though the folders showed up. I feel dumb, but smarter because I learned a lot. Including the new interface with TWRP!

Totally not worth using Lollipop for battery issue alone.

I will highly recommend you do the following:

- Upgrade to latest build.

- Root

- Use link2SD to move apps to SD card.

I have been using this setup for quite some time, and absolutely no issues.

hello everyone .. i almost have tried every single custom rom available for my xperia sp ... currently using official nightly 11/8 + cm addon 8/11

and i miss network mode tile in quick settings

although jellybean doesnt even had this option but gravity box works marvelous and xperia xposed too

on kitkat ... almost every rom have customization to add network tile

so anybody can tell me ,how can i add network switcher , a one tap shortcut !

thanks for your time dev ... always motivated me!
[HTC Tornado] highmighty:
Even though I've told ActiveSync to "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the destktop", it doesn't work, my smartphone SP5m connected via USB on my pc keeps telling me "Check your connection/network settings" whenever I need internet access and won't open any web pages or internet applications, why?

Under Connections settings, I usually have 2 options, either "Auto-detect settings" or "Select network" which has "The Internet" selected. But none of them works :(

And what's the difference between those network presets (The Internet, Work, etc)?

Thanks to all!

highmighty
[HTC Tornado] stesa:
go to setting\connections\usb to pc and deset advanced network funcionality
[HTC Tornado] highmighty:
No matter if "advanced network functionnality" is enabled or not, it's the same, internet won't work when my SP5m is plugged in via usb. It's surely working fine though using WIFI... any other thoughts anyone?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
Just tested, same problem here and the weird part, it works if connected with a Bluetooth connection :confused:
[HTC Tornado] N8falke:
i have that problem too.. connected to the laptop there is no internet connection with cabel but over bluetooth..

funny thing: if i connect to the desktop computer it does work with cabel

same security software (avira antivirus and pc tools firewall)

if anyone find a solution for that i'd be very glad. the problem itself doesnt matter as connection over bluetooth is more important to me but i just cant stand how illogical it is.. :)
[Verizon LG G4] avinyc:
Sorry if this has been asked/discussed, but I am hoping there is a way to set up internet call settings on the G4 like you can with other phones like the nexus. I'm guessing this was blocked or removed by LG, but has anyone figured this out. Or have an app recommendation if possible?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Internet call settings? I have a 6P and I'm not sure what you're talking about. There is VoLTE and WiFi calling, are you talking about one of those?
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Voice Over IP.

There are tons of walkthroughs on setting this up.

Check this:

http://lifehacker.com/5349506/make-free-voip-calls-from-google-voice

There are other voice services that I can't think of off the top of my head but nothing should be specific to the G4 and Verizon. I had to do this with my G2 when I was traveling over seas. Verizon told me it would work there but it sure didn't. I had to setup a program to allow me to make voice calls over my data connection. I forget the actual names of the apps but start with the link above and start digging.

EDIT:

Here is what I used:

https://ring.to/groove/

Groove IP app. Setup online for a "virtual number" and install the GrooveIP app.
[Verizon LG G4] avinyc:
Yes, I meant WiFi calling, as described here: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2811843?hl=en

I'm not seeing the menu options in the LG Dialer on the G4 that would allow you to add a SIP account to make internet calls through a SIP provider.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
Of course carrier phones don't have that, they want you to use them for voice service. Your options would be to use a VoIP app or setup Google Voice with Hangouts.
[Verizon LG G4] avinyc:
Thanks for sharing those details. I'll look at Groove IP and see if I can just find an app that allows you to set up a SIP account on the G4. It was great on a nexus to just add it in the dialer and turn it on whenever you needed it. I used it on wifi whenever overseas and it worked perfectly. If there is a hidden menu setting or something to enable it on the G4, I would be interested in figuring that out!
[HTC One A9] itsmelutfor:
I can double tap to wake up but it's not working to sleep the phone.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
Double tap to sleep never was a feature of HTC smartphones. Nothing wrong there.
[HTC One A9] itsmelutfor:
Thanks for the info. I didnt use M8 and M9 so i dunno double tap to sleep was there or not. But in my HTC A9 the option is present. I'm tagging the screen shot.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
I am not too sure of it myself. Still on Sense 6, maybe things changed with Sense 7. Also, on Sense 6 double tap to sleep does work, but only on the lock screen. Once the phone is unlocked, it doesn't. Maybe that's how it functions on the A9 too? You can try it.
[HTC One A9] weepatc:
Only works on the lockscreen as in Sense 6
[HTC One A9] itsmelutfor:
Yup. Exactly. It works when the screen is locked, after i wake it up with double tap. But i have used asus zenfone selfie. It works even when on screen is unlocked.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
Different OEMs have different implementation. Asus may work like that, HTC doesn't.
[HTC One A9] itsmelutfor:
Yup. Still i think that was more perfect. It makes more sense.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
That requires more battery, as far as I know. HTC uses a motion sensor, and consumes lesser battery. Hence, can work only on a locked screen, else it'll interfere with normal usage. I'm not too sure, but I guess that's that.
[HTC One A9] itsmelutfor:
What you are saying is write but two things 1. Wouldn't it consume more battery when its in standby for double tap?-which htc has. 2 . What is the actual use of double tap to sleep on a lock screen which i have just unlocked by a double tap!!!
[HTC One A9] alray:
dt2w

check your notification on the lockscreen

dt2s

this is the only useful thing you can do with dt2s imo. If you don't have a lockscreen then yep dt2s is useless. Of course its not working when the screen is unlocked, would be a pain to use a phone which would turn off everything you tap twice on the screen ;)
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolmmk07:
I've rooted my htc desire 820u(Indian Dual sim) running on Lollipop 5.0

Then I found MIUI 7 ROM in XDA site. So I tried to flash it after wiping all the data-system-cache-internal storage and it didn't go well and ended up with boot failure. But before doing so, I backed up all the data using TWRP (Boot-System-Data). So when i tried to restore the data, the process is finished successfully.

But when the phone is rebooted I got several error messages like "system ui crashed", "htc dot view crash" "package installer help crash". And notification bar and soft toggle keys are gone. Nothing is accessible now. I tried recovering the same 3-4 times. But the same happened every time. What should I do now?

The Zenfone 2 and Zenfone deluxe are the same. The only difference is that the deluxe as more internal memory and the back cover has a new design to it. A user here had no problem flashing a Custom ROM on his deluxe.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Make sure you know if it is the 1.8ghz or 2.3ghz Zenfone... The 1.8 has the older 3560 cpu and the 2.3ghz the 3580.. Likely you won't see the difference but it might cheese you off to have the slower cpu.

Also there is a 550ML and 551ML version, the 550ML has 2gb ram BUT the 551ML has a 2gb ram 16gb rom variant too. Make sure, if you want the 4gb it says that or you might get one of these cheaper versions... Also, the 2.3 gets the speedy charger, the other variants don't (would assume the Deluxe does)...

You'd want either the 551ML 4gb 2.3ghz (will be 64gb rom) or the Deluxe version.

Hi!:D

Please help me...

My Infocus M210 is rooted and I've edited the build.prop from a build prop editor to speed up internet data connection but the editor goes wild and changes everything written on the build.prop then forced my phone to shut down and when I start my phone, it stuck at boot loop.

I've already wipe data/factory reset on its built-in Android system recovery <3e>.

but I think its the worst thing that I've done.

Coz I thougt it disabled debugging and removed root permission from my device.

I've used Apply update from ADB.

I tried to sideload stockrom.zip but when its completed sending on my phone, then says "installation aborted" I've tried different ROMs but same result.

I have also tried shell commands:

adb pull /system/build.prop

adb -d -e -s <serialNumber> shell am start options -D

but all shell commands doesn't work and says "error:closed"

So then I've tried Fastboot mode

but my devices wasn't found

so I have followed some threads and watched youtube tutorials:

So I removed drivers via "usbdeview"

Then installed Fastboot device/ Fastboot interface drivers manually.

but I almost tried all drivers from official to many google drivers

but still my device wasn't found in cmd

says "waiting for device"

Now I'm thinking if there are some tricks to fix adb "error:closed"

or try different computers for fastboot

I already used my Windows 7 64-bit from my friend

and Windows XP 32-bit from my friend

Please Help me... :crying:
